4782. They call spirits from this earth "factual knowledge" because they correspond to knowledge that is not abstract from material things but joined to them. As has been said, on this earth one learns that God is a person from factual knowledge; elsewhere it is not known from factual knowledge. The difference is like that between angels who know from a perception and [its] communication and those who know from themselves.
4782. They called the spirits from this earth, sciences; for they correspond to sciences, not abstracted from material things but conjoined with them. Thus, in this earth, it is known, from science, that God is a man: elsewhere, not from science. The difference is like that between angels who know from perception and communication, and [those who know] from themselves.
4782. Vocabant spiritus ex hac tellure "scientias," correspondent enim scientiis non a materialibus abstractis, sed cum illis conjunctis, ita in hac tellure scitur ex scientia quod Deus sit homo, alibi non ex scientia, differentia est sicut inter angelos qui ex perceptione et communicatione, et ex se sciunt.
