413.有三种不同类型的人类和灵魂。人类以及他们肉体死后的灵魂可分为三种类型：
1)第一种，也是最大和最常见的，由那些像森林里的野兽，也就是违反秩序的人组成。
2)第二种是符合秩序的，然而，这秩序并非来自一个纯正的源头，而是来自一个低级的源头；他们仍像地上的野兽那样向下看。他们能行出貌似属于仁爱的善行，但只关心世俗事物。因此，他们是那些不信弥赛亚神的人。品性良善、比其他人更容易重生的外邦人可算在他们之列。
3)第三种是属天堂的，因为他们信弥赛亚神；他们的行为是仁爱的行为，这些行为是他们信的果子。
我没有听说过这些事，也没有和任何人谈论过这个问题；但某种类似的东西以一种梦境在思维中被表现出来；然而，我能由此得出结论，还有一种类型或许介于第一种和第二种之间。（1747年12月28日）
有三种世人和灵人，即：那些像森林里的野兽，反对一切秩序的人；那些虽像野兽，却仍正直，只是这正直并非出于信的人；那些因出于信的仁慈而像人一样的人。
413. There are three different kinds of people and souls
The human race, as also their souls after the death of the body, can be distinguished into three kinds. 1) The first kind, which is the largest and the most common, are like the wild animals of the forest, that is, against order. 2) The second kind is in some order, yet not from a genuine source but from a lower source, still looking downwards like the beasts of the earth. They are able to perform good deeds resembling those that come from true caring, but which regard [only] worldly values. So they are not among those who believe in God the Messiah: and gentiles of good character can be counted among them, who are able to be regenerated more easily than the rest. 3) The third kind is heavenly, due to their belief in God the Messiah. Their works are acts of true caring, and these acts are the fruits of their belief.
These things I did not hear, or speak about with anyone, but something like this was pictured in my thought in a dream-like vision. However, I can also draw the inference from it that there is yet another kind, perhaps intermediate between the first and the second. 1747, the 28th day of December.
413. THERE ARE THREE GENERAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND SOULS
The human race, as also their souls after the life of the body, can be divided into three kinds: The first kind, which is the largest and most common, consists of those who are like the wild beasts of the forest, that is, are contrary to order. The second kind is [in agreement] with order, not, however, from a genuine, but from a kind of inferior, source; they still look downwards like the beasts of the earth; they can practice works as if they were of charity, but yet they have regard to worldly things; thus they are those who are not of faith in God Messiah. Gentiles of a good disposition, who can be regenerated more easily than the others, can be reckoned amongst them. The third kind is heavenly from faith in God Messiah; their works are charities, and their charities are the fruits of faith. I have not heard these things, nor have I spoken to anyone about this matter, but in thought, something similar was represented in a kind of dreaming state; I could thence conclude, however, that there is yet another kind, perhaps intermediate between the first and the second. 1747, Dec. 28. 1

1. The entry in the Index (s.v. Homo) is:
"There are three kinds of men and of spirits, viz.: those who are like wild beasts of the forest, against all order; those who are like beasts, upright, but not from faith; those who are like men, because merciful from faith."
413. Sunt tres diferentiae generales inter homines et animas
Genus humanum ut et animae eorum post vitam corporis in tria genera dispesci possunt; 1m genus, quod maximum est, et maxime commune, quod sint instar ferarum sylvestrium, hoc est, contra ordinem.
2) Alterum genus est quidem cum ordine, sed non ex genuino fonte, sed ex inferiori quodam fonte, sed usque spectant deorsum, sicut bestiae terrae, possunt exercere opera quasi charitatis, sed usque spectant mundana; ita sunt ii qui non sunt ex fide in Deum Messiam, gentes bonae indolis inter eos referri possunt, quae facilius retiquis possunt regenerari.
3) Tertium est coeleste, ex fide in Deum Messiam, eorum opera sunt charitates, et charitates sunt fructus fidei. Haec non audivi, nec cum aliquo locutus de eo, sed in cogitatione, aliquid simile in somnicundi 1
specie repraesentatum, sed usque inde concludere possim, quod adhuc aliud genus sit; forte intermedium inter primum et secundum. 1747, die 28 Dec.
