SD 3286 - the work of regeneration

SD 3286 [3]
The work of regeneration
is chiefly concerned in bringing about the correspondence
of the natural person to the rational person,
not only in general, but also in particular;
and the natural person is reduced to correspondence
by the Lord through the rational,
in that good is insinuated into the rational,
and in this good
as in ground
truths are implanted,
and then by means of rational truths
the natural is reduced to obedience;
and when it obeys,
then it corresponds;
and insofar as it corresponds,
so far is the person regenerate.
