As good and truth are a one in the Lord, and proceed as a one from Him, it follows that good loves truth and truth loves good, and they will to be a one.
It is the same with their opposites: evil loves falsity, and falsity loves evil, and these will to be a one.
In the following [articles] the conjunction of good and truth will be called the Heavenly Marriage, and that of evil and falsity the Infernal Marriage.
