326. It can now be established from these facts that all things in the universe, regarded from uses, represent man in an image, and that this proves that God is Man. For such things as have been mentioned above have existence about the angelic man, not from an angel, but from the Lord through an angel. For they have existence from the influx of the Lord's Divine Love and Wisdom with the angel who is a recipient, and before whose eyes all is brought forth just as the creation of a universe. From this they know there that God is Man, and that the created universe, regarded as to uses, is an image of Him.
