It has no other origin, as is evident from what has been shown just above (n. 366); consequently, the whole is from every p... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=367 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 369 369.

Moreover, this love has become impure by reason of the separation of heavenly love from it in parents.... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=419 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 56 56.
