MAHOMET, 342, 344.

MAHOMETAN RELIGION, 341.  How it originated, 342.  It was raised up of the Lord’s divine providence, to the end that it might destroy the idolatries of many nations, 342.

MAHOMETANS.—­Why it is permitted the Mahometans to marry a plurality of wives, 341.  The Mahometan heaven is out of the Christian heaven, and is divided into two heavens, the one inferior and the other superior, 342.

MALE and FEMALE.—­Man (homo) is male and female, 32, 100.  The male and female were created to be the essential form of the marriage of good and truth, 100 and following.  The male was created to be the understanding of truth, thus truth in form; and the female was created to be the will of good, thus good in form, 100, 220.  The male is born intellectual, or in the affection of knowing, of understanding, and growing wise; and the female partakes more of the will principle, or is born into the love of conjoining herself with the affection in the male, 33.  Therefore, the male and female differ as to the face, tone of the voice, and form, 33, 218.  Distinct affections, applications, manners, and forms of the male and female, 90, 91.  The male is the wisdom of love, and the female the love of that wisdom, 32.  After death the male lives a male, and the female a female, each being a spiritual man, 32, 100; neither is there any thing wanting, 51.
