"In the Composition the Father had the same Way as in his Writings, viz : he suspended his considering Faculty, and putting his Spirit on the Pen, followed its Dictates strictly, also were all the Melodies flown from the Mystery of Singing, that was opened within him, therefore have they that Simplicity, which was required, to raise Edification." Peter Miller in his introduction to Conrad Beissel's Ninety Nine Mystical Sentences (3), on Beissel's Method of Composition. [Miller translated the first 14 pages of the 1730 publication into English, c. 1771]
