After regeneration, the delight of pleasures serves as a middle and ultimate plane in which spiritual good ends, with its own blessedness and happiness, 8413:3.]
Pledge (pignus). [See also SECURITY.] A pledge for what is lent d. the reception of truth, and the response to that which is communicated: shown, 9212, 9213:2.

Poor (pauper). See MISERY. Something concerning the poor, 3820:2. To be poor is to be rich, and to be needy is to be abounding; there is nothing of wisdom and of power from self, but from the Lord, 4459:4. To do good to the poor is the external of the Church, and to do good to those who are in spiritual poverty is the internal of the Church; and in doing good both the internal and the external ought to be looked to, 9209:2. The poor are they who are in little good from ignorance of the truth, and the needy are they who are in little truth from ignorance of the truth, and yet desire to be instructed: shown, 9209:3. The poor d. those who are in few truths, and in falsities from ignorance, also in falsities and in good, as well as in falsities and in evil; concerning whom, 9253; those who are not in the cognitions of truth and good, and yet desire them; hungering d. its thirst and desire, 10227:19. How it is to be understood that heaven belongs to the miserable and poor, when yet the rich also hold positions of dignity there, 10227:19.
Pope (pontifex). I spoke with him about various things; and the quality of his respiration when in the Consistory, 3750:2. It is from the Divine Providence of the Lord that in the Catholic religion the bread only is given in the Holy Supper, 10040:2. See SUPPER.

Pottage. See PULSE.]
Potter (figutus). The potter is spoken of respecting God, and then the clay refers to man, 6669:6.
[Power, Powerful. See MIGHTY ONE.]
Pray, To, Prayer (orare, oratio). In temptations there is no need of petitions (they are not heard), but those who are in them ought to fight against falsities and evils, and this as if from self, 8179:2. True worship is from the Lord, and not from man: illustrated, 10299:2. The prayer of the Lord was revelation, 2535. The quality of spirits was made known from the Lord's Prayer, 4047. Innumerable things are present in the Lord's Prayer and its particular contents, 6619.
To pray d. to be revealed, 2535; to be communicated, 3285. Jehovah was entreated d. the effect, 3287. To supplicate d. humiliation, 7391; intercession, 7396, 7462.
Precept (praeceptum). [See also LAWS] There is a distinction between the precepts which relate to life, the judgments which relate to the civil state, and the statutes which relate to worship: shown, 8972:3. Precepts d. the internal things of the Word, in the genuine sense; statutes d. the external things of the Word, 3382, 8362. Law and precept d. truth in general and in particular, 9417. To hearken to the precepts d. obedience and life according to the good of faith, 8362.
Precious (pretiosum). Precious things d. spiritual things: shown, 3166.
[Precious Stones. See DIAMOND.]
Predestination (praedestinatio). There is no predestination, or fate, but man has freedom; and Providence does not necessarily follow in order, but, like an architect about to build a house, brings together materials not in order, 6487. All are predestined to heaven, and none to hell; from the angels, 6488. See also PROVIDENCE.
Pregnant, To be (gravida esse). See WOMB.
Prepare, To (praeparare). To prepare, when used respecting heaven, d. to give it out of mercy to those who are in the good of life and faith: shown, 9305.
Presence (praesentia). The spirits are present which are thought of, 1274:2.
Present (munus). By a present is understood worship, 349. By the presents which were given to kings and priests is sd. initiation: shown, 4262:2. The things which they offered upon the altar d. worship, 4262:2. To offer presents to kings and priests was for the purpose of obtaining grace; and it sd. such things as ought to be offered to God from freedom, and from the heart, 5619, 5671, 5675. Presents laid before Jehovah were testifications of such things as are offered from the heart: illustrated and shown, 9293:2.

Pride (superbia). See LOVE OF SELF.
Priest (sacerdos). [See also under To ANOINT.] The governors over ecclesiastical things are called priests; a doctrinal statement concerning priesthood, 10789-10799. There must be governors over ecclesiastical matters, 10792, 10793. They ought to teach truth, and lead to the good of life, 10794. They ought not to claim to themselves power over the souls of men, 10795. Priests ought to have dignity on account of holy things, though they ought not to attribute it to themselves, but to the Lord, 10796; because honour is not for the person, but for the thing, 10797; they should not compel anyone, but separate those who make disturbance, 10798. Evil priests, who in the world have moved the common people to tears by means of their preachings, greatly infest the upright, and speak altogether otherwise; an experience, 8383.
The priesthood succeeded in the family of Aaron to the sons, because they rd. the Lord as to the Divine Celestial, and the Celestial Kingdom is the priests' kingdom; briefly stated, 9946. The priesthood of Aaron, of his sons, and of the Levites is a representative of the Lord's work of salvation in successive order, as in the three heavens, 10017. All kings and priests r. the Lord: the former as to kingship, the latter as to the priestly office, but so far as they ascribe holiness therefrom to themselves they are spiritual thieves, and so far as they act evilly they put off the representative, 3670:2. Priests rd. the Lord as to Divine Good, thus they d. goods; but kings, as to Divine Truth, thus they d. truths: shown, 6148:7. Priest d. Divine Good, 9806:2. Priesthood d. the Divine of the Lord's Divine Love: shown, 9809. The priesthood was representative of the Lord as to all the work of salvation: illustrated and shown, 9809:6. What a priest, also what the priestly office, and what the kingship of the Lord s., 1728. What the Lord is as a king, and what as a priest, 2015:10. To minister, when used respecting a priest, d. worship and evangelisation, 9925.
Primogeniture (primogenitura). Whence is the dispute concerning primogeniture and the dominion therefrom, 376. The controversy about primogeniture: whether it belongs to faith or to charity, 2345. Primogeniture belongs to good actually, and to truth apparently, 4925:3, 4926, 4928, 4930. See TRUTH and REGENERATION. Good is the elder son, or first-born: illustrated from the state of infants: that they are in a state of innocence, of love to the parents, and of mutual charity towards their infant companions, 3494. The Lord is the First-born, and from Him those who are in love to Him, and also in charity towards the neighbour; thus good is the first-born, although with the spiritual man, in the beginning, it appears as if truth were: shown, 3325:5. The spiritual were adopted by means of the Lord's coming in the world, and called 'first-born sons' from the faith of charity, 7035. The first-born son was called 'the beginning of forces': shown, 6344:3; and this because the faith of the Church was sd. by first-born, 6344:3. Because all generations pertain to regeneration, or the new birth, the first-born therefrom is faith, 8042.
Primogeniture [or birthright] d. priority and superiority, 3325. First-born d. the faith of the spiritual Church, because truth is the essential therein, and good itself is truth, 8042; the truths of faith which are immediately from charity; concerning which, 8042:2; charity, or the good of faith, 8080. The first-born of worship s. the Lord; the first-born of the Church s. faith, 352e. Why the first-born of Egypt were slain, and what it s., 3325:11. See EGYPT. The firstborn of Egypt d. faith without charity: illustrated, 7039. Faith without charity is damned; concerning which, 7766. The first-born in the land of Egypt also d. the falsified truth of faith, 7950:2. The death of the first-born in Egypt d. the damnation of faith separated from charity, 7778. The first-born of Pharaoh d. falsified truths of faith, which are in the first place, 7779. To redeem the first-born of man d. not to ascribe truths of faith to the Lord, but its goods: illustrated, 8080. The first-born of beast d. the adulterated goods of faith, 7781.
[Prince. See CHIEF.]
Principal (principale). Everything of life is from the Lord, and is as principal and instrumental, which act as one cause; and is felt in the instrumental, 6325.
[Principle. See BEGINNING.]
Prison (carcer). See also CUSTODY, PIT, and BOUND. One who is sick d. one who is in evil; one who is bound, or in prison d. one who is in falsity, 4958e. In the house of a prison d. among falsities, 5085. To be given into the house of a prison, and there to be kept bound d. to be let into temptations as to falsities: shown, 5037; thus it d. to come into vastation as to falsity, consequently into temptations, 5037; and also it d. those who are in falsities from ignorance of truth, 5037:2 The place in which the bound of the king are d. a state of the vastation of falsity, 5038. They who are in falsity, especially in falsities from evil, and who are in persuasion, are called the bound, and also they are bound interiorly, 5096. To be bound d. to be separated, 5452. To be given into custody d. rejection, 5083, 5101; separation, 5456.

Prodigy (prodigium). See MIRACLES and SIGN.
Produce (proventus). Produce d. fruit, 6155; the goods of truth from instruction: shown, 9272:2, 9273.
Profane, To (prophanare). See WORSHIP. What profanation is; they can profane who acknowledge; but they who do not acknowledge, still less they who do not know, cannot profane, 1008, 1010:2, 1059e. Profanation consists in acknowledging and believing truths and goods, and willing and living contrary to them: illustrated, 4601:2. Unless faith is conjoined to good it becomes either no faith or is conjoined to evil, whence it is profaned, 6348. Profanations are from the conjunction of good and evil, 6348:3. To profane is to believe truth and to live evilly, also to believe nothing and live holily, 8882. Within the Church a man is withheld with difficulty from the conjunction of falsity and evil with truths; why, 9188. Profanation takes place by means of denial after acknowledgment: illustrated, 10287. There are various kinds of profanation; concerning which, 10287:3. What perils there are from the profanation of the Word, and of holy things, 571, 582. Who can profane, 593. They who are within the Church can profane holy things, not so they who are outside, 2051e. They who are of the spiritual Church can profane truths; they who are of the celestial Church, as of the antediluvians, can profane goods, 3399. Concerning those who turn clean things into unclean, and holy things into profane ones, 5390. The lot of all profaners is the worst in the other life; an experience, 6348:3. He who in boyhood believes truths from his masters lightly profanes them; and he who confirms them with himself, and does not live according to them, or afterwards denies them, profanes them, 6959:2, 6963:2, 6971:2. If a man relapses after repentance, he profanes, and then his later state is worse than his former, 8394. They who have first acknowledged Divine truths, and afterwards denied them, profane them; but they who have denied from infancy, as the Jews and others, do not profane them; and the Lord exercises the greatest care that profanation should not take place: references, 10287:2. Worship applied to the loves of self becomes infernal, 10307, 10309; in like manner to imitate affections, as if they were heavenly, from the proprium, is infernal, 10309. It is believed by the evil that all things are of their own prudence; but not by the good, 10779. Concerning those who bring down spiritual things to earthly things, and defile them; nevertheless they are not among the profane, 4050:4. The nations cannot profane holy things, 1327:3, 1328, 2051, 2056e. They are kept in ignorance that the truths of faith may not be profaned, and so they may not perish, 301-303. Holy things ought not to be commingled with profane things, 1001:5. Truths from good should not be commingled with falsities from evil: illustrated, 9298:2. Worship is made external lest the internal should be profaned, 1327, 1328. It is provided by the Lord that good and evil may not be commingled, 2426. Good and truth cannot be profaned, except by those who have first acknowledged them; the reason, 3398:2. Therefore they were withheld as far as possible from the acknowledgment and faith of good and truth, if they could not remain in them, 3398:2, 3401. Consequently internal truths were not disclosed to the Jews; concerning which, 3398:3, 3479:2. Internal truths were not first revealed until the Church was vastated, because then truth could not be profaned, 3398:4, 3399. Therefore the Lord then came into the world, and consequently the internal sense was not opened until now, 3398:4. Interior truths cannot be profaned, except by those who know and acknowledge them, 3898:2. Interior things are preserved lest by profanation they should be injured, 6595. The Jews would have profaned truths if they had known them; and they had leprosy therefrom, 6963.
Profanation was rd. by the eating of blood, 1003. By the prohibited degrees are sd. various kinds of profanation, 6348:2. To profane d. no worship, 8943.

Prophet (propheta). Prophetic revelations in the Jewish Church were not from perception, but from speech with angels by means of whom the Lord spoke; what is the difference, 5121:3. Prophets were clad in hairy coats; why, 3301:2. The quality of influx with the prophets; an experience, 6212. When prophets are named in the Word, the prophetical Word is dd., but with a difference, 3652.
Prophets d. the truths of doctrine, thus those who teach: shown, 2534. Prophet d. one who teaches, and doctrine, 7269. What vision and divination d., when they are predicated respecting prophets, 9248:2. See To DIVINE. Divination, when used with respect to prophets, has regard to life; vision, to doctrine, 9248:2.
Propitiate, To, and Propitiatory (propitiatare et propitiatorium). The propitiatory d. the hearing and reception of all things which belong to worship from the good of love, 9506; thus the cleansing of evils and the remission of sins, the same as expiation: illustrated and shown, 9506.
[Propriety. See DECORUM.]
Proprium (proprium). See EVIL, MAN, and HEREDITARY. The proprium as it is with men and angels is described, 141, 159. The proprium is twofold: one from hell, and the other from the Lord, 3812:2. What the proprium is, and how the case is with a regenerate man, 731. Man's proprium consists in thinking about himself in everything; the heavenly proprium consists in thinking about the neighbour, the public, the Church, the Lord's kingdom, and the Lord, in everything, 5660:2. He who is in the latter proprium trusts in the Lord, and is blessed, 5660:3. The heavenly marriage is in the proprium, 155. A man by compelling himself to resist evil and to do good, receives the heavenly proprium from the Lord, 1937:3, 1947. That a man may receive the heavenly proprium and heavenly freedom he ought to do good as from himself, and to think truth as from himself, 2882, 2883, 2891. What is from the proprium is from freedom, see FREEDOM. Concerning those who believe all things are from themselves, and nothing from the Divine; whence this is with them in the other life: that they call dignities and wealth blessings, when in many instances they are curses; they obtain such things, because a man is led by means of the intellectual, that he may be saved, and because he is left in freedom; concerning their hell in the other life, 10409:2. Freedom derived from the proprium is nothing but evil, 5786:3. The proprium of man is described as nothing but evil and falsity, 210, 215. Man can do nothing good and think nothing true from the proprium, 874-
876.
Man's proprium is evil; and there is a voluntary proprium, and an intellectual proprium which is falsity therefrom, 10283:2, 10284, 10286. A man, a spirit, and an angel, as to their own proprium, are the vilest excrement, 987. All falsity flows in from the proprium, 1047. See also WILL. Hell is from the proprium by means of the love of self and the world, 694. Good from the Lord has inmostly in itself heaven and the Lord, and good from the proprium has hell within in itself, 8480:3. To imitate affections as if they were heavenly, in worship, from the proprium, is infernal, 10309. The proprium in those who are about to be regenerated is inanimate, 39, 41. They who enter into heaven put off the proprium and the merit of self, 4007e. The proprium vivified by charity and innocence is beautiful and delightful, 164. Evil is not separated from men and angels, but he is withheld from evil in good, 1581. So far as man's voluntary proprium can be separated, the Lord can be present, 1023, 1044:3. Man's proprium ought to be separated that the Lord may be present, 1023, 1044. The voluntary, thus the proprium, has been altogether destroyed with the spiritual; an experience, 4328. They who are of the Church, where the Word is, are called by the Lord His own, 8768. Those things which are from one's own intelligence have no life in themselves, but those which are from the Word, 8941e; illustrated, 8944. He who is led from himself and his own loves, thus from the proprium, cannot be saved: illustrated, 10731. It is believed by the evil that all things are of their own prudence, but not by the rood, 10779. Goods and truths with the regenerated man become as if they were his own, but are not his own: illustrated, 8497. Man ought to do good and truth as it were from the proprium, and not let his hands hang down; concerning which, 1712:2. All good is from the Lord, and all evil from man; therefore evils and goods are at the same time with man; concerning which, 10808.
The proprium is sd. by the rib and bones, 147-149, 157.
Prosper, To (prosperare). To prosper d. to be provided, 4972, 4975, 5049.
Prostitute (scortum). See HARLOT and ADULTERY.
Protest, To (contestari). To protest d. to be averse, 5584.
[Prove, To. See To TEMPT.
Provender. See FODDER.]
Providence (Providentia). Universal and Particular. From being in the most particular things the Lord's providence is universal, 1919:4; something concerning it, 2694:3. The Lord's providence is not universal unless it is in the most particular things, 4329:4; but it is in the most particular things, 5122e. The Divine providence is in the very particulars of all things, 5894:4. The Lord's providence is in the most particular things; confirmed by angels, 6486. The Lord's providence is universal, because it is in the most particular things, 6481-6486, 6490. Several fallacies oppose this, 6484. See UNIVERSAL, also INFLUX and PREDESTINATION. The universal is according to the particulars, thus the Lord's providence is infinite even in the particular things, 6483. The Lord flows into the ultimate of order, and into media, not only mediately by means of heaven, the angels, and spirits, but also especially immediately; thence providence is in the most particular things, 7004:2, 7007:3. Concerning mediate influx by means of heaven from the Lord, 6982, 6985, 6996.
Providence and Foresight. The Lord has foresight and providence; foresight has respect to man, that he may be in freedom; providence has respect to the Lord, that He may rule freedom, 3854:2. Foresight is joined to providence; evil is foreseen, and good is provided, 6489. Good is provided, and evil is foreseen, 5155, 5195. Where providence is there foresight is; the one does not exist without the other, 5195. Happenings are from providence, and pertain to providence: illustrated, 5508. Fortune is providence in the ultimate of order, 6493e, 6494. See also FORTUNE.
Providence and Man's Prudence. One's own prudence is as a mist in the atmosphere, and providence is as the universal atmosphere, 6485. Concerning a certain one who believed that nothing was of Providence, but was of his own prudence; and when heaven flowed into his delight it became hell to him, 6484. Concerning those who believe that all things are from themselves, and nothing from the Divine; whence this is with them in the other life, that they call dignities and wealth blessings from the Divine, when in many instances they are curses; and that they succeed to them is because a man is led by means of the intellectual, so that he may be saved, and be left in freedom; concerning their hell who are such, 10409:2.
How Providence Acts, and what its End is. Everything that exists is from the First, or Supreme, thus from the Lord, 9128:3. The Lord rules immediately and mediately by means of heaven, and His providence is in the most particular things, not as a king in the world, 8717:2. This they hardly comprehend in the world, 8717:2. The Lord rules the world by means of the evil equally as by the good, leading the former by means of their loves, 6481:2, 6495. There Is no predestination, or fate, but man has freedom; and Providence is like an architect who brings materials together, not in their own order, 6487. All are predestined to heaven, none to hell; from the angels, 6488. The Lord turns evil into good, for the infernals intend evil, and the Lord intends good, 6574:3. Providence acts invisibly; the reason, 5508:2. There is an immediate influx from the Lord into the most particular things, and a mediate influx by means of the spiritual world, 6058. The Lord is his Father when a man exercises his own judgment, and he no longer has a natural father as at first, 6492. That the Lord's providence is infinite, and regards what is eternal, appears from man's formation in the womb, and afterwards more so as to the spiritual life, 6491. The Lord does not regard temporal things, but eternal ones, with man, 8717e. Who are in the stream of Divine providence, and who not; with those who are in it all things in general and particular conduce to eternal happiness, 8478:4, 8480:3. Evils and falsities are not from the Lord: illustrated, 9128:3.
Seriatim Statement of the Doctrine. A doctrinal statement respecting the Divine providence, 10773-10781. Providence is the Lord's government in the heavens and on the earths, from which every good and truth is, 10773. It extends to the most particular things, 10774. They who think from worldly things, that the evil are honoured and become rich, and that their arts succeed, believe that providence is universal, but not particular, 10775. Yet eminence and wealth are not real blessings, but the eternal things which are in heaven are, 10776. That arts succeed is because it is from order that all things shall be done according to reason, and with freedom, 10777. [To leave man] to do evil therefrom is to permit, 10778. The providence of particular things is both with the evil and the good, 10779. This cannot be comprehended from the light of nature, 10780. There are providence and foresight, 10781.
That God does d. providence, and has in itself what is eternal and infinite; concerning which, 5264.

Prudence (prudentia). Something concerning prudence, 2694:3. Concerning a certain one who believed that nothing was of Providence, but all things were of man's own prudence; and his delight therefrom, when heaven flowed in, became hell to him, 6484. Man's own prudence is like a mist in the atmosphere, and Providence as the universal atmosphere, 6485. The evil call cunning prudence, and place wisdom in it, 6655.

Purification, Pure (purificatio, purum). See REGENERATION.
