17. As it is with good and truth, so by way of contraries is it with evil and falsity: namely that as all things in the universe which are according to Divine order, have relation to good and truth, so all things which are contrary to Divine order, have relation to evil and falsity, and as good loves to be conjoined with truth, and conversely truth with good, so also evil loves to be conjoined with falsity, and conversely falsity with evil. And again, as all intelligence and wisdom spring from the conjunction of good and truth, so all folly and stupidity arise from the conjunction of evil and falsity. The conjunction of evil and falsity is called the Infernal Marriage.
