about the spiritual sun (nn. 83-172), about degrees (nn. 173-281) and
about the creation of the world (nn. 282-357).

7. (iv) _It is of the divine providence that every created thing as a
whole and in part should be such a one or should become such a one,_ or
that there be in it something of the divine love and wisdom, or what is
the same, that there be good and truth in it, or a union of them.
(Inasmuch as good is of love and truth is of wisdom, as was said above
(n. 5), in what follows we shall at times say good and truth instead of
love and wisdom, and marriage of good and truth instead of union of love
and wisdom.)

8. It is evident from the preceding proposition that divine love and
wisdom, which are one in the Lord and proceed as one from Him, are in
some image in everything created by Him. Something shall be said now
specifically of the "one" or the union called the marriage of good and
truth. 1. This marriage is in the Lord Himself--for, as we said, divine
love and wisdom in Him are one. 2. This marriage is from Him, for in all
that proceeds from Him love and wisdom are fully united. The two proceed
from Him as a sun, divine love as heat, and divine wisdom as light. 3.
These are received as two, indeed, by angels, likewise by men of the
church, but are made one in them by the Lord. 4. In view of this influx
of love and wisdom as one from the Lord with angels of heaven and men of
the church, and in view of their reception of it, the Lord is spoken of
in the Word as bridegroom and husband, and heaven and the church are
called bride and wife. 5. An image and a likeness of the Lord are
therefore to be found in heaven and in the church in general, and in an
angel of heaven and a man of the church in particular, so far as they are
in that union or in the marriage of good and truth. For good and truth in
the Lord are one, indeed are the Lord. 6. Love and wisdom in heaven and
in the church as a whole, and in an angel of heaven and a man of the
church, are one when will and understanding, thus when good and truth,
make one; or what is still the same, when doctrine from the Word and life
according to doctrine make one. 7. How the two make one in man and in all
that pertains to him was shown, moreover, in Part V of the treatise
_Divine Love and Wisdom,_ where the creation of man, and especially the
correspondence of will and understanding with heart and lungs, were
treated of (nn. 358-
