…ut not the black pig, are not in the sty"? I imply that the black pig is im the sty. All I have done is to represent the conversion as a change, rather than as merely another way of expressing the same thing.

…a task from which almightiness might well recoil baffled !—I much fear that eternal life, and con- sequently eternal suffering, joy, and change of all kinds, will be their melancholy fate! Such persons are in truth their own real enemies. Many of them, however, believing erroneously that they are being “unselfish,” do fill their hearts with devotion for the beloved Saviour, and this process is, in its ultimation, so similar to the earlier stages of the Great Work itself, that some confusion has, stupidly enough, arisen; but for all that the pra…
