31.  It is because the Divine Essence itself is Love and Wisdom, that all things in the universe have relation to good and truth; for everything that proceeds from love is called good, and everything that proceeds from wisdom is called truth.  But of this more hereafter.

32.  It is because the Divine Essence itself is Love and Wisdom, that the universe and all things in it, alive and not alive, have unceasing existence from heat and light; for heat corresponds to love, and light corresponds to wisdom; and therefore spiritual heat is love and spiritual light is wisdom.  But of this, also, more hereafter.

33.  From Divine Love and from Divine Wisdom, which make the very Essence that is God, all affections and thoughts with man have their rise-affections from Divine Love, and thoughts from Divine Wisdom; and each and all things of man are nothing but affection and thought; these two are like fountains of all things of man’s life.  All the enjoyments and pleasantnesses of his life are from these-enjoyments from the affection of his love, and pleasantnesses from the thought therefrom.  Now since man was created to be a recipient, and is a recipient in the degree in which he loves God and from love to God is wise, in other words, in the degree in which he is affected by those things which are from God and thinks from that affection, it follows that the Divine Essence, which is the Creator, is Divine Love and Divine Wisdom.

34.  Divine love is of Divine wisdom, and Divine wisdom is of Divine love.

In God-Man Divine Esse [Being] and Divine Existere [Taking Form] are one distinctly (as may be seen above, n. 14-16).  And because Divine Esse is Divine Love, and Divine Existere is Divine Wisdom, these are likewise one distinctly.  They are said to be one distinctly, because love and wisdom are two distinct things, yet so united that love is of wisdom, and wisdom is of love, for in wisdom love is, and in love wisdom Exists; and since wisdom derives its Existere from love (as was said above, n. 15), therefore Divine Wisdom also is Esse.  From this it follows that love and wisdom taken together are the Divine Esse, but taken distinctly love is called Divine Esse, and wisdom Divine Existere.  Such is the angelic idea of Divine Love and of Divine Wisdom.

35.  Since there is such a union of love and wisdom and of wisdom and love in God-Man, there is one Divine Essence.  For the Divine Essence is Divine Love because it is of Divine Wisdom and is Divine Wisdom, because it is of Divine Love.  And since there is such a union of these, the Divine Life also is one.  Life is the Divine essence.  Divine Love and Divine Wisdom are a one because the union is reciprocal, and reciprocal union causes oneness.  Of reciprocal union, however, more will be said elsewhere.

36.  There is also a union of love and wisdom in every Divine work; from which it has perpetuity, yea, its everlasting duration.  If there were more of Divine Love than of Divine Wisdom, or more of Divine Wisdom than of Divine Love, in any created work, it could have continued existence only in the measure in which the two were equally in it, anything in excess passing off.
