{Footnote 1} If good were the characteristic and essential of
the church, and not truth apart from good, the church would be
one (n. 1255, 1316, 2952, 3267, 3445, 3451. 3452). From good
all churches make one church before the Lord (n. 7396, 9276).

{Footnote 2} The church is in man, and not outside of him, and
the church in general is made up of men that have the church in

{Footnote 3} A man who is a church is a heaven in the smallest
form after the image of the greatest, because his interiors,
which belong to his mind, are arranged after the form of

5115, 5368, 6013, 6057, 9279, 9706, 10156, 10472). Therefore
man was created to have the world in him serve heaven, and this
takes place with the good; but it is the reverse with the evil,
in whom heaven serves the world (n. 9278, 9283).

{Footnote 5} The Lord is order, since the Divine good and truth
that go forth from the Lord make order (n. 1728, 1919, 2011,
2258, 5110, 5703, 8988, 10336, 10619). Divine truths are laws
