1572. That 'Abram's herdsmen' is used to mean the celestial things that belong to the internal man and 'Lot's herdsmen' to mean the things of the senses that belong to the external man is clear from what has been stated already. By the celestial things meant by 'Abram's herdsmen' one is to understand the celestial things in worship which belong to the internal man, and by 'Lot's herdsmen' one is to understand the things of the senses in worship which belong to the external man and which do not agree with the celestial things of the internal man's worship. The implications of all this are clear from what has been shown already.
