AE 660 [2]
It is said "rejoice and be glad" because of the marriage of good and truth;
for "joy" is predicated of good because it relates to love,
for it belongs especially to the heart and will,
and "gladness" is predicated of truth,
because it relates to the love of truth,
for it belongs especially to the mind and its thought;
therefore we speak of "joy of heart" and "gladness of mind."
. . . there is no good with anyone unless it is formed by truths,
nor is there truth with anyone unless it is made living by good;
for every truth is a form of good,
and all good is the being [esse] of truth . . .
