337. That good uses are from the Lord, and evil uses from hell, will be shown in the following order:

(i) What is meant by evil uses on the earth, (ii) All things that are evil uses are in hell, and all things that are good uses are in heaven, (iii) There is a continuous influx from the spiritual world into the natural world, (iv) Influx from hell brings about evil uses wherever there are such things as correspond to them, (v) The lowest spiritual separated from what is above brings this about, (vi) There are two forms into which the operation by influx takes place, the vegetable and animal forms, (vii) Both these forms receive the faculty to propagate their kind, and the means of propagation.
