They said further that they have a perception whether those of their race who are naked have in them the conjugial principle; and it was shown that they perceive this from a spiritual idea about marriage, which being communicated to me was found to be that a likeness of the interiors was formed by the conjunction of truth and good, thus of faith and love, and that conjugial love comes forth from this conjunction coming down into the body. For all things of the lower mind [animus] are set forth in the body in some natural form, thus in the form of conjugial love when the interiors of two mutually love each other, and also from this love long to will and to think the one as the other, thus to be together and to be conjoined in respect to the interiors of the mind. From this the spiritual affection of their minds becomes natural in the body, and clothes itself with the feeling of conjugial love. They also said that there is nothing whatever of a conjugial nature between one man and a number of wives.

They went on to say that they can perceive whether anything constituting real marriage exists among those of their nation who are naked; and it was demonstrated that they perceive it from a spiritual idea regarding marriage. That idea, which was conveyed to me, was one in which a likeness of the interior things [in two people] is produced by the joining together of truth and good, thus of faith and charity; and from that joining together as it descends into the body conjugial love springs. For everything belonging to the mind is manifested in some natural form in the body. Thus it is manifested in the form of conjugial love when two people love each other on an interior level and when each is also filled by that love with the desire to will and think as the other does, and so to be together with and joined to the other on the level of interior things belonging to the mind. Consequently spiritual affection belonging to their minds becomes natural affection in the body, clothing itself in the feelings that accompany conjugial love. They also said that nothing whatever of real marriage exists where one man has a number of wives.

10756. Dicebant porro quod perceptionem habeant num conjugiale sit apud illos ex sua gente qui nudi sunt; et ostendebatur {1} quod id percipiant ex idea spirituali de conjugio, quae mecum communicata erat talis ut similitudo interiorum esset formata per conjunctionem veri et boni, ita fidei et amoris, et quod ex illa conjunctione descendente in corpus existat amor conjugialis; nam omnia quae animi sunt sistuntur in aliqua specie naturali in corpore, ita in specie amoris conjugialis, cum interiora duorum se mutuo amant, et quoque ex amore illo desiderant velle et cogitare unus sicut alter, ita quoad interiora quae mentis, simul esse et conjungi; inde affectio spiritualis, quae mentium, fit naturalis in corpore {2}ac induit se sensu amoris conjugialis. Dicebant etiam quod prorsus non conjugiale detur inter unum virum et plures uxores. @1 i tunc$ @2 ubi$
