4145. 1About the most ancient Church
The most ancient Church had inner breathing, thus from the inner person, which was in the company of spirits and angels, toward the outer [person]. But later the way was closed, and the breathing became an outer [breathing], so that there was no communication, hence no speech [with spirits,] etc. 1749, 19 Febr.
