Verse 15. If One opinion or view of a matter (though it seem derived from good) shall not be permitted to rise up against any principle in the soul to condemn it as being against the good derived from faith, or to condemn any act or desire of the will as being against the genuine life of charity; but when good and truth both testify against it, or where several truths combine to condemn it, the matter enforced by them shall be considered fully confirmed (Arcana Coelestia 4197).

276. THE STATE OF INNOCENCE OF ANGELS IN HEAVEN.

What innocence is and its nature few in the world know, and those who are in evil know nothing about it. It is, indeed, visible to the eyes, as seen in the face, speech and movements, particularly of children; and yet what innocence is, and especially that it is that in which heaven is stored up in man is unknown. In making this known let us proceed in order, and consider first the innocence of childhood, then the innocence of wisdom, and lastly the state of heaven in regard to innocence.
