204. Chapter 4 [Amos] 1-3 Those who pervert the doctrine of the church: they will also fall into falsities in outermost things. 2 4-6 They worship in externals according to the statutes, which will be similar [to genuine worship], but only in outermost things. 2 7, 8 Some things true will remain, when the rest are false, in consequence of which truths will have no power. 2 9 Afterward all things of the church are falsified, 3 10, 11 and finally they are profaned by sensual knowledges [scientifica], the profanation extending to all things of the church, so that there is hardly anything left. 3 12, 13 Exhortation to turn themselves to the Lord. 3
