Take care never to impute the vain imaginings of your fancy to Him [the Holy Spirit]. I have seen the Spirit of God shamefully dishonored by persons – I hope they were insane – who have said that they have had this and that revealed to them. There has not for some years passed over my head a single week in which I have not been pestered with the revelations of hypocrites or maniacs. Semi-lunatics are very fond of coming with messages from the Lord to me, and it may spare them some trouble if I tell them once for all that I will have none of their stupid messages… Never dream that events are revealed to you by heaven, or you may come to be like those idiots who dare impute their blatant follies to the Holy Ghost. If you feel your tongue itch to talk nonsense, trace it to the devil, not to the Spirit of God. Whatever is to be revealed by the Spirit to any of us is in the Word of God already – He adds nothing to the Bible, and never will. Let persons who have revelations of this, that, and the other, go to bed and wake up in their senses. I only wish they would follow the advice and no longer insult the Holy Ghost by laying their nonsense at His door.

INSTRUCTIONS

* Any cheese that gratinates well.
Mince the soaked, boneless, skinless, cod fish, the
peeled onions and the cleaned carrots. Place the
vegetables in a skillet with the olive oil, a
tablespoon butter and the minced lard. Wait until the
onion is soft but not brown, quickly add the minced
cod fish, mix with the contents of the skillet and
remove from the range. Add the fresh bread crumbs
soaked in milk but squeezed. Mix everything and set
aside. Prepare a bechamel sauce with 2 cups of milk, 2
tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of butter,
season with salt and pepper and add 4 of the yolks.
Mix the above very well with the cod mixture, place
everything in a tray that can be taken to the oven.
Prepare another bechamel-style sauce as above with the
remaining ingredients, except for the grated cheese
and dry bread crumbs. Cover the contents of the tray
with this sauce, sprinkle with equal parts of grated
cheese and dry bread crumbs, and distribute some
butter nuggets. Bake in a moderate oven (350§) for
20/25    minutes.
