Arcana Coelestia # 19
19. 'The Spirit of God' is used to mean the Lord's mercy, which is said 'to hover', like a hen over eggs, over what the Lord stores away in man and which in the Word are frequently called 'remnants'. These remnants are cognitions of truth and good which never come to light or into daylight until external things have been laid waste. These cognitions are here called 'the face 1 of the waters'.

1. literally, the faces
Luke 23:48
48
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
