672. 'Male' means truth and 'female' good. This has been stated and shown already. In every smallest part of man a kind of marriage exists. Whatever forms part of the understanding is coupled, as in a marriage, to some part of his will. Without such a coupling or marriage, nothing in the slightest is brought forth.
