479. (1) There are three kinds of adultery: simple adultery, double adultery, and triple adultery. The Creator of the universe distinguished each and every thing He created into kinds, and each kind into species, and differentiated each species, and likewise every variety, and so on; and this in order to present an image of the Infinite in an endless multiplicity of qualities. In similar manner the Creator of the universe distinguished qualities of good and their accompanying truths, and likewise, after they arose, qualities of evil and their accompanying falsities. It may be seen from the revelations disclosed in the work, Heaven and Hell (published in London, in the year 1758), that He has distinguished each and every thing in the spiritual world into kinds, species and varieties, and that He has gathered all good qualities and truths into heaven, and all evil qualities and falsities into hell, and arranged the latter in diametric opposition to the former. He has also so distinguished and continues to distinguish goods and truths and evils and falsities among people, thus people themselves, as may be known from their lot after death, which for the good is heaven, and for the evil, hell. Now because everything relating to good and everything relating to evil has been distinguished into kinds, species, and the like, therefore marriages are distinguished into these, too, and likewise their antitheses, which are adulteries.
