Excerpt from Essays
So much as this is now commonly admitted; and various inferences are drawn therefrom. What ih ference does the New Church draw from it?
All religion teaches that there is one God, who created man, and the universe in which he dwells. And the New Church is taught, that God is perfect Love and perfect Wisdom; because these two Di vine elements, in their infinite perfection, constitute God. And in the next place it is taught, that this wisdom comes into the understanding of man, which is so constructed that it is capable of receiving it, of appropriating it, and of using it as the man's own reason.
In the next place, this church is taught, that this Divine reason comes also into the material universe. Which is so constructed, as to be capable of receiving it, and of conforming to it in every part and in every thing.
