AE 569c - reasonings

AE 569c [23]
Reasonings from the spiritual man are rational, and therefore might better be called conclusions from reason and from truths, because they are from the interior and from the light of heaven;
but reasonings from the natural man respecting spiritual things are not rational, however rational they may be in things moral and civil, which are evident before the eyes, because they are from natural light alone;
but reasonings from the sensual man respecting spiritual things are irrational, because they are from fallacies and thus from ideas that are false; these are the reasonings here treated of and in the Apocalypse.
