764. CONCERNING TRUTH AND GOOD I spoke with spirits about rendering honor to anyone, and I was informed that honor, as also fear, is predicated of truth, for truth is that which is feared, and thus honored. But on the other hand, love is predicated of good, for good is what is to be loved, because good has this in itself. In the regenerate, however, as in the angels or in the heavens, both good and truth are loved, because good is the fountain of truths. 1748, Feb. 13.
