Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 371 371. IX. THAT WITH MARRIED PARTNERS WHO TENDERLY LOVE EACH OTHER, JEALOUSY IS A JUST GRIEF FROM SOUND REASON, LEST THEIR CONJUGIAL LOVE BE DIVIDED AND THUS PERISH. Within all love is fear and grief, fear lest it perish, and grief if it does perish. There is the like fear and grief in conjugial love, but the fear and grief of this love is called zeal or jealousy. That with partners who tenderly lov... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=371 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 377 377. XII. THAT THERE IS JEALOUSY ALSO FOR MISTRESSES, BUT IT IS NOT OF THE SAME NATURE AS FOR WIVES. With man, jealousy for wives springs from inmosts, but jealousy for mistresses from outmosts. Therefore they differ in kind. That jealousy for wives springs from inmosts is because in inmosts resides conjugial love; and it resides there because, by reason of its eternal pact established by covenant... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=377 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 414 414. I have had various conversations with angels about innocence. They said that innocence is the esse of every good, and that good is good in the measure that innocence is within it; also, that since wisdom pertains to life and thus to good, it is wisdom so far as it partakes of innocence, the same being true of love, charity, and faith; and furthermore, that it is for this reason that no one ca... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=414 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 423 423. THE OPPOSITION OF SCORTATORY LOVE AND CONJUGIAL LOVE At this threshold, it must first be explained what in the present chapter is meant by scortatory love. The fornicatory love which precedes marriage is not meant; nor that which follows it after the death of the married partner; nor concubinage when entered into for legitimate, just, and weighty reasons. Nor are the mild kinds of adult... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=423 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 425 425. II. THAT SCORTATORY LOVE IS THE OPPOSITE TO CONJUGIAL LOVE. There is nothing in the universe which has not its opposite; and opposites are not relative to each other but contrary. Relatives are things between the greatest and least of the same thing, While contraries lie over against them from the opposite side, being relatives with respect to each other just as are the former relatives; ther... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=425 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 432 432. VIII. THAT SCORTATORY LOVE MAKES MAN TO BE MORE AND MORE NOT A MAN AND NOT A MALE; AND THAT CONJUGIAL LOVE MAKES MAN TO BE MORE AND MORE A MAN AND A MALE. That conjugial love makes man [to be man] is illustrated and confirmed by all that has been demonstrated in light before the reason in the First Part, on [Conjugial] Love and its Delights of wisdom, as: 1. That one who is in love truly conj... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=432 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 438 438. XIII. THAT MAN IS ABLE TO TURN HIMSELF TO WHICHEVER SPHERE HE PLEASES, BUT SO FAR AS HE TURNS TO THE ONE, HE TURNS AWAY FROM THE OTHER. Man was created to do what he does from freedom according to reason and altogether as of himself. Without these two he would be, not a man but a beast, for he would not receive and appropriate to himself as his own anything flowing to him out of heaven. Then... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=438 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 449 449. That the lust of fornication is not the lust of adultery is seen by every one from common perception. What law and what judge would charge a fornicator with the same crime as an adulterer? The reason why this is seen from common perception is because fornication is not opposed to conjugial love as adultery is. In fornication, conjugial love may lie hidden within, as the spiritual in the natur... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=449 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 456 456. XI. THAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN THAT CONJUGIAL LOVE BE NOT DESTROYED BY IMMODERATE AND INORDINATE FORNICATIONS. By immoderate and inordinate fornications whereby conjugial love is destroyed are meant fornications whereby not only the powers are enervated but all the delicacies of conjugial love are taken away; for from unbridled license in fornications arise not only weaknesses and consequent lac... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=456 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 459 459. XIII. THAT WITH THOSE WHO FOR VARIOUS REASONS CANNOT YET ENTER INTO MARRIAGE, AND BECAUSE OF SALACITY CANNOT RESTRAIN THEIR LUSTS, THIS CONJUGIAL CAN BE PRESERVED IF THE [ROAMING] LOVE OF THE SEX BECOME RESTRICTED TO ONE MISTRESS. That immoderate and inordinate lust cannot be curbed by those who are salacious, reason sees and experience teaches. In order then, that, with those who labor under... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=459 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 478 478. ADULTERIES AND THEIR KINDS AND DEGREES No one can know that there is any evil in adultery if he judges of it merely from external appearances, for in these it is like marriage. When internals are mentioned and they are told that it is from these that external appearances draw their good or their evil, these external judges say within themselves: "What are internals? Who can see the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=478 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 485 485. V. THAT THERE ARE FOUR DEGREES OF ADULTERIES, AND THAT PREDICATIONS, PRONOUNCEMENTS OF GUILT, AND AFTER DEATH, IMPUTATIONS ARE MADE ACCORDING TO THESE DEGREES. These degrees are not kinds, but they enter into each kind and there make distinctions between the more and the less evil or good --here, whether, because of circumstances and of contingencies, an adultery of any kind should be account... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=485 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 492 492. XII. THAT ADULTERIES OF THE FOURTH DEGREE ARE ADULTERIES FROM THE WILL, WHICH ARE COMMITTED BY THOSE WHO MAKE THEM ALLOWABLE AND PLEASING AND NOT OF SUFFICIENT IMPORTANCE TO MERIT CONSULTING THE UNDERSTANDING IN RESPECT TO THEM. These adulteries are distinguished from the former by their origin. That origin is the depraved will connate with man, that is, hereditary evil. When he comes into po... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=492 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 494 494. XIV. THAT ADULTERIES OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH DEGREE, WHETHER COMMITTED IN ACT OR NOT, ARE EVILS OF SIN ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE AND QUALITY OF THE UNDERSTANDING AND WILL WITHIN THEM. That adulteries from reason or understanding, being those of the third degree, and adulteries from the will, being those of the fourth degree, are grievous and so are evils of sin according to the quality of the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=494 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 510 510. IV. THAT THEIR LOT AFTER DEATH IS A MISERABLE ONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT THE INMOST OF LIFE. Every one has pre-eminence of life according to his conjugial love; for this life conjoins itself with the life of the wife, and by the conjunction exalts itself. But because with these men not the least remnant of conjugial love is left, and hence nothing of the inmost of life, therefore their lot aft... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=510 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 524 524. I. THAT AFTER DEATH THE EVIL IN WHICH ONE IS, IS IMPUTED TO HIM; LIKEWISE THE GOOD. That this may be seen in some clearness, it shall be illustrated under distinct heads, thus: 1. That every one has a life proper to himself. 2. That this his life remains with every one after death. 3. That to the evil man is then imputed the evil of his life, and to the good, the good of his life. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=524 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 14 14. Concerning merits, from the Formula Concordiae. (a) That it is false that our works merit remission of sins; false, that men are accounted just by the justice of reason; and false, that reason of its own strength can love God above all things, and do the law of God (p. 64). (b) That faith does not justify because it is in itself so good a work, and so excellent a virtue, but because it lays ho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=14 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 42 42. BRIEF ANALYSIS. The reason why this faith, which is a faith in one God, is acknowledged and received as truly saving, when the former faith, which is a faith in three gods, is rejected, is because till this is the case it cannot be seen in its own form; for the faith of the present day is set forth as the only saving faith, because it is a faith in one God, and a faith in the Savior; but... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=42 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 50 50. The reason why charity cannot be conjoined with the faith of the present church, and consequently why good works cannot be born from any marriage, is because imputation supplies everything, remits guilt, justifies, regenerates, sanctifies, imparts the life of heaven and thus salvation, and all this freely, without any works of man; what then is charity, which ought to be united with faith, but... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=50 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 100 100. BRIEF ANALYSIS. The reason why the New Church is meant by "the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven" (Rev. 21), is that Jerusalem was the metropolis of the land of Canaan, and there was the temple, the altar, there the sacrifices were offered, thus Divine worship, to which every male throughout the land was commanded to come three times a year. Then, because the Lo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=100
