235. These things have been said in general about the threefold ascent of the degrees of height. But because these degrees must be in greatest and in least things, as was said in a recently preceding section, it is not possible to say anything of them here in detail. This only may be said, that there are such degrees in each and in all things of love, and therefore in each and all things of wisdom, and therefrom in each and all things of use. But all these are infinite in the Lord, while in angel and in man they are finite. But how there are these three degrees in love, in wisdom and in uses cannot be described and unfolded except in series.
