1. The Latin phrase here translated "The body . . . is simply a thing that follows orders" is corpus est modo obedientia, literally, "The body is merely obedience. " Compare Revelation Explained (= Swedenborg 1994-1997a) 1071:2: "The body is merely obedience, since it speaks what we think in our understanding, and it does what we will it to do because of our emotions" (translated by SS). Swedenborg's point is that the body is subservient to the will and understanding, which are nonmaterial. Compare also Marriage Love 310. [SS]
