2807. there are no distinctive individual elements-as in every musical instrument, and in bodily speech, and in the performance of the individual senses. These generals are as yet unknown to the scholars of the world, but still they exist. All the organic membranes of the viscera, the muscles, the organs, are generals in which and with which the individual parts exist distinctly. Such was the speech of the spirit, and whether the angels had said the same as what the spirit brought out in general, I do not know. It could be that in and with the general there are other elements than those in the general, although not any that oppose. 1748, 13 Aug.
