439. That by “Seth” is signified the faith through which comes charity, was shown in the preceding verse. That by his “son, whose name was Enosh” is signified a church that regarded charity as the principal of faith, is also evident from what has been said before, as well as from the fact that it is called “Enosh” which name also means a “man” not a celestial man, but that human spiritual man which is here called “Enosh.” The same is evident also from the words that immediately follow: “then began they to call upon the name of Jehovah.”
