10. The fourth state is when he is moved by love and enlightened by faith. Previous to this he did indeed utter pious words and bring forth good deeds, but he did so from a state of temptation and anguish, and not from faith and charity. Therefore the latter are now kindled in his internal man, and are called the two great lights.

40. Even so, amen. That this signifies Divine confirmation that it will so come to pass is evident from the signification of even so, which denotes confirmation of what precedes, that it will so come to pass; and from the signification of amen, as denoting Divine confirmation (as shown above, n. 34).
