Verse 16. For, indeed, even celestial good, or those in that good, must be reconciled with Divine Good, because man of himself is altogether impure, as to the exterior, and as to the interior, and is nothing but evil; and so must it be also with spiritual good, or those in that good, and with natural good, or those in that good, in order that the Lord may be present with man from inmost things to lowest things by the acknowledgement, on his part, that of himself he is only evil.
