This is the most general rule, that the life of the Lord streams into the universe. From it is the life of all things, from it is the order of all things, from it is the life of each individual, according to the form each one has personally acquired. About this I was instructed today, and it follows from all things [that I learned] down to the least details, because there is only one love, and only one life. 1748, 22 Aug.
