429. That by a “man” [vir] is signified faith, is evident from the first verse (Genesis 4:1) of this chapter in that Eve said, when she bare Cain, “I have gotten a man Jehovah;” by whom was meant the doctrine of faith, called a “man Jehovah.” It is evident also from what was shown above concerning a man or male, that he signifies understanding, which is of faith. That he had also extinguished charity, here called a “little one” or a “little child” follows, for he who denies and murders faith, at the same time also denies and murders the charity that is born from faith.
