323. Now, because the phenomena surrounding angels exist in accordance with their affections and thoughts, and because these phenomena resemble a kind of universe in the fact that they include lands, plants and animals, and these constitute a representative image of the angel, it is apparent why people in ancient times called the human being a microcosm.
