4610. IN WHAT WAY PRINCIPLES SUBDUE AFFECTIONS. That principles of truth change and subdue the cupidities, or delights, of evil, was made known to me, from experience. When I was in an affection of evil, and principles of truth were insinuated within, then those delights began to cease: hence, also, they were recognized that they were evil.
