592. But in the new church the internal and external man are quite different. The internal man belongs to his will, which governs his thinking when he is left to himself, as he is at home. His external man is his actions and speech, what he does in company or away from home. Consequently the internal man is charity, which is a quality of the will, and at the same time faith, which is a quality of the thought process. Both of these before regeneration make up the natural man, which is thus divided into an internal and an external man. This is obvious from the fact that a person may not act and speak in company or away from home as he would if left to himself or at home. The reason for this division is that civil legislation prescribes penalties for those who act wickedly and rewards for those who act well, so that people compel themselves to separate the external man from the internal. No one wants to be punished, and everyone wants to be rewarded by receiving wealth and honours. Neither of these aims can a person achieve, if he does not live in accordance with these laws. That is why morality or good-will are to be seen in externals, even with those who have no morality or good-will in internals. This is the origin of all hypocrisy, toadying and pretence.
