Marriage # 45
45. In short, several wives and one man cannot become one flesh, that is, one mind, which is made up of the will and the understanding. The marriage of these two or - 1 - makes marriage in its very existence; for all things in the universe have reference to the marriage of good and truth, and so to marriage, in order that they may be something and bring forth something. And marriage itself in its own form from its own essence is produced in man together with his mate and likewise in an angel.

1. Two words here unreadable.
Declare
To "declare" means to say something formally, publicly and with emphasis; you might say what you think, but you only declare things you're sure of. So just as saying relates to sharing truth at various levels, "declaring" relates to sharing fundamental, unquestioned principles, often those that reveal the Lord and the salvation that lies in His embrace.
In Amos 4:12-13, 'to declare' signifies to flow in.
