083.父母的情感天生就在后代里面，是后代与生俱来的。但父亲的情感是内在的，所以较长一段时期后才逐渐展现出来；而母亲的情感是外在的，所以在较短时间内就展现出来。
83. The sensitivities of the father and the mother are born with and in the offspring. But the father's are inward sensitivities, so that they develop after a longer period of time; while the mother's are outward sensitivities, so that they develop within a shorter period of time [cf. 37a]. 1Father; Hereditary, Heredity; Mother]

83. [CONCERNING HEREDITY]
The affections of the father and mother are connate and innate in the offspring; but those of the father are interior and therefore unfold themselves after a longer time, while those of the mother are exterior and therefore unfold themselves within a shorter time. (Haereditarium, Mater, Pater.) 1
