13. Not all people who are being regenerated reach this state. Some, indeed the majority nowadays, reach only the first. Some reach merely the second, others the third, fourth, or fifth. Seldom do any reach the sixth, and hardly anybody at all reaches the seventh.

In Luke 12:51, 53: By father against son, and by son against the father, is understood evil against truth, and truth against evil; and by mother against daughter, and by the daughter against the mother, is understood the lust of falsity against the affection of truth, and vice versa. (Apocalypse Explained 504[31])
