Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 4254

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

4254. I am less than all the mercies, and all the truth, which Thou hast done with Thy servant. That this signifies humiliation in that state as to good and as to truth, is evident from "mercy" being predicated of the good of love, and from "truth" being predicated of the truth of faith (see n. 3122). That these are words of humiliation is manifest, and from this it is evident that by them is signified humiliation in that state as to good and as to truth.
