The fanaticism and errors into which he had fallen through an evil influence seemed to hinder the exercise of his faith, but he gratefully received the plain testimony borne him, made humble confession of his fault, and took his position firmly for the truth. {LS 76.1}

Den fanatisme og vildfarelse som han var faldet i, lod til at forhindre ham i at udvise sin tro, men han modtog taknemmeligt det enkle vidnesbyrd han fik frembåret, og bekender ydmygt sin fejl, og tog sit faste standpunkt for sandheden.
