60. The two loves from which are all goods and truths, and which, as has just been observed, are love to the Lord, and love towards the neighbour, constitute heaven with man, and therefore also they reign in heaven; and since they constitute heaven with man, they also constitute the Church with him. The two loves from which all evils and falsities proceed, and which, as has just been said, are the love of self and the love of the world, constitute hell with man; wherefore also, they reign in hell.
