Понятно, что Стас переводил начало когда еще плохо знал тему, и упростил многие моменты. Например, написал "общее" вместо универсального, а слово "универсальное" важно как термин. (писал Виталию примечание Актона, тока потерял, искать долго)

1. THE FAITH OF THE NEW HEAVEN AND OF THE NEW CHURCH
This faith is first set forth in a universal and in a particular form, that it may serve as a preface set before the work that follows, also as a gate giving entrance to a tem-ple, and as a summary, containing in their own mode the particulars that succeed.

И еще насчет "in respect to the interiors of his mind"
Получается, внутреннее сознания? О чем тут речь, это внутренний человек или нет?
И насколько корректно понимать под mind сознание, как совокупность природных и духовных органических форм (если тут это вообще подходит)?
