How the most ancient church decreased cannot appear unless it be known what perception is, for it was a perceptive church, such as at this day does not exist. The perception of a church consists in this, that its members perceive from the Lord what is good and true, like the angels; not so much what the good and truth of civic society is, but the good and truth of love to the Lord and of faith in him. From a confession of faith that is confirmed by the life it can be seen what perception is, and whether it has any existence.
