AE 1171 (continuation #4)
The love of the will
gives intelligence according to its quality.
Natural love from spiritual love
gives intelligence in civil and moral matters;
but spiritual love in natural love
gives intelligence in spiritual matters;
but merely natural love
and the conceit that comes from it
does not give intelligence in spiritual matters,
but gives the ability to confirm whatever it pleases,
and after confirmation so infatuates the understanding
that it sees falsity as truth, and evil as good.
