man would not only be prncipled in all requisite

the world therefore he must needs be born In all
ignorance and want Of knowledge. Neverthe-

those in another life, wh0 during their abode In this
world nave been prncpled In such love. When
these, after death, are admitted into heaven, they
then come into such knowledge and wisdom as they
before had no conception OF. Yea, they think and

the ear has not heard, neither has 1t entered into
the heart OF man TO conceive, which are ineliable.
The reason Is because those two kinds OF love have
the faculty OF receiving IN themselves such things.
