481. Verse 3. And Man lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat into his likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth. By a “hundred and thirty years” there is signified the time before the rise of a new church, which, being not very unlike the Most Ancient, is said to be born “into its likeness, and after its image;” but the term “likeness” has relation to faith, and “image” to love. This church was called “Seth.”
