n. 425. Adulterous love is opposed to conjugial love, as the natural man

love is opposed to conjugial love, as the connubial connection of what
is evil and false is opposed to the marriage of good and truth, n. 427,

heaven, n. 429. The impurity of hell is from adulterous love, and the
purity of heaven from conjugial love, n. 430. In the church, the
impurity and the purity are similarly circumstanced, n. 431. Adulterous

equilibrium, and man is in it, n.
