"The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love"

spiritual causes, and thence by natural, n. 404. The love of infants and
children is different with spiritual married partners from what it is
with natural, n. 405-407. With the spiritual, that love is from what is
interior or prior, but with the natural, from what is exterior or
posterior, n. 408. In consequence hereof that love prevails with married
partners who mutually love each other, and also with those who do not at
all love each other, n. 409. The love of infants remains after death,
especially with women, n. 410. Infants are educated under the Lord's
auspices by such women, and grow in stature and intelligence as in the
world, n. 411, 412. It is there provided by the Lord, that with those
infants the innocence of infancy becomes the innocence of wisdom, (and
thus they become angels) n. 413, 414.
