4371. About the last judgment, that mankind has now become corrupt
It was perceived and stated that today there is but a small remnant of good in the understanding. When the will part had been destroyed in the people before the flood, good was inseminated in the understanding part, and this is now beginning to perish, so that there is no faith or charity. 1749, 23 Aug. 1

4371. CONCERNING THE LAST JUDGMENT; THAT MAN HAS NOW BECOME [EXCEEDINGLY] PERVERSE.
It was perceived and said that at this day there is very little of intellectual good remaining. The voluntary principle was destroyed with the antediluvians and good was then inseminated in the intellectual part, and now this begins to perish, so that there is no faith nor charity. - 1749, August 23.
4371. De ultimo judicio, quod homo nunc perversus sit
Perceptum, et dictum, quod hodie parum reliquum sit de bono intellectuali, perditum erat in antediluvianis voluntarium, inseminatum bonum in parte intellectuali, et hoc nunc incipit perire, sic nulla fides seu charitas. 1749, 23 Aug.
