By a spiritual mental image it was portrayed to me what bodily and sensual enjoyments are like when separated from inward enjoyment. They are gross, like those of beasts, because only of the body-such as the enjoyment of drinking. But how sweet inward enjoyments are, which have peace and innocence within them, can be felt and known by a spiritual mental image by those who have them, but not by those who are in the body when the enjoyments are separated and almost purely of the body. 1748, 30 May.
