158. [158.] 25. Hypocrites who spoke well of God, the neighbor, and their country, but within themselves entertained thoughts of a contrary nature - they, too, were explored and cast into hell. They endeavored to speak well of the Lord's kingdom and heaven, because this then was their country, but their interior thought was examined and found to be for themselves alone and against the kingdom of their country, and when they were admitted into their interior qualities, therefore, they committed criminal acts. They were cast into hells, after first being divested of everything they had drawn from the Word and doctrinal teachings, which they had used to delude others.
