AC 3049 - in the use

AC 3049
. . . in itself truth is good, because from good;
and truth is the form of good, that is to say,
when good is formed so as to be perceived intellectually,
it is then called truth . . ..
In themselves general memory-knowledges are not goods,
nor are they alive;
it is the affection of them that causes them to be goods,
and to be alive;
for when there is this affection they are for the sake of use;
since no one is affected by any memory-knowledge or truth
except for some use;
use makes it a good;
and such as the use is,
such is the good.
