Selections from ‘Milton’

[Swedenborg]


(Milton, f. 20, ll. 50–4.) O SWEDENBORG! strongest of men, the Samson shorn by the Churches;
Showing the Transgressors in Hell, the proud Warriors in Heaven,
Heaven as a Punisher, and Hell as One under Punishment;
With Laws from Plato and his Greeks to renew the Trojan Gods
In Albion, and to deny the value of the Saviour’s blood.	5
