THE CONTENTS. The subject here treated of in the internal sense is the posterity of Jacob - that they extinguished all the truth of doctrine which was of the Ancient Church. Hamor and Shechem,
together with the people of their city, represent this truth. For the representative of a church among the posterity of Jacob consisted solely in externals without internals, whereas the representative
church among the ancients consisted in externals with internals.

CONTENTS
The subject now in the internal sense is the annihilation by the descendants of Jacob of all truth of doctrine which the Ancient Church possessed, Hamor and Shechem together with the people
of their city representing that truth. For the representative of the Church among the descendants of Jacob consisted wholly in external things devoid of internal, whereas the representative Church
among the Ancients consisted in external things together with internal.

CONTENTA
Agitur hic in sensu interno de Jacobi posteris, quod exstinxerint omne verum doctrinae quod fuit Ecclesiae Antiquae:
Hamor et Shechemus cum populo urbis (c)illorum, repraesentant id verum:
Ecclesiae enim repraesentativum apud posteros Jacobi constabat solum in externis absque internis; Ecclesia autem repraesentativa apud antiquos in externis cum internis.
