Arcana Coelestia #8216
8216. 'And made them drive heavily' means resistance and lack of power. This is clear from the meaning of 'wheels' as the power to advance falsities, dealt with immediately above in 8215, so that 'making them drive heavily' means being hindered by resistance, and therefore means lack of power.
1 Kings 7:30-33
30
Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.
31
The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.
32
The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33
The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.
