They who belong to the p., act, as it were, by a mode of sawing, also with a noise like that of sawing, which noise is sonorous in the ears of spirits, but does not affect the ears of man, unless he be in the spirit whilst in the body ; their region is between the region of the spleen and of the liver, more to the left.

The things which the Lord spake in p., appear in the external form like common similitudes, but in the internal form, they are such as to fill the universal heaven, inasmuch as in singular the things contained in them there is an internal sense, which is such that its spiritual and celestial principle diffuses itself through the heavens in every direction like light and flame ; this sense, is altogether elevated from the sense of the letter, and flows from singular the expressions, and from singular the words, yea, from every iota. 4637.

PEACE s. the union of the divinity with the humanity in the person of the Lord, and his conjunction with heaven and the church. II. and H, 295, P. is the divine salutation. A. R. 12. P. considered-in itself, is not heaven and celestial joy, but these things are in p., and from p.; for p. is like the morning, or the time of spring in the world, which disposes human minds to the reception of heartfelt pleasantness and delightfulncss, from those things which appear before the eyes. P. is the blessedness of the heart and soul arising from the conjunction of good and truth among those who are therein ; thence there is no more combat of the false and evil against good and truth, or no spiritual discord or war, the consequence of which cessation is p., in which all fructification of good and multiplication of truth is effected, and, therefore, also wisdom and intelligence ; and since p. is from the Lord alone, among the angels of heaven and men of the church, therefore, p., in a supreme sense, s. the Lord, and, in a respective sense, heaven and the church, hence also good conjoined with truth among those who are therein. A. E. 365. By p. are s. all things, in their complex or aggregate, which come from the Lord, and, consequently, all things of heaven and the church; and the beatitudes of life in them; these are what belong to p., in a supreme or inmost sense. That p. is charity, spiritual security, and internal tranquillity, follow, of course; for when man is in the Lord, he is in p. with his neighbor, which is charity, in protection against the hells, which is spiritual security; and when he is in p. with his neighbor, and in protection against the hells, he is in internal tranquillity from evils and falses. A. R. 306. Heavenly p. flows in, when the lusts arising from the love of self and of the world are taken away, inasmuch as these lusts are what take away p., for they infest the interiors of man, and cause him at length to place rest in restlessness, and p. in disturbance, because delight in evils; so long as man is in such evils, he cannot, in any wise, know what p. is. 5662.

PEOPLES, MULTITUDES, NATIONS, and TONGUES (Rev. xvii. 15), s. all who are under the popish dominion of various doctrine and discipline, religion and confession.    A. R. 745.
PERCEIVE. If man p. and felt the operation of Divine Providence, he would not act in freedom according to reason. D. P. 176.
PERCEPTION is the very essence of every thing celestial, given by tho Lord to those who are principled in a faith grounded in love, and exists in the universal heaven with an infinite variety. 536. P. in itself is nothing else but a sort of internal speech which so manifests itself, that it may be perceived what is said; every interior impression or dictate, and even conscience itself is nothing but such an internal speech; p., however, is a superior or interior degree thereof. 1822. P. arises from conjunction of the things appertaining to the external man, with the celestial things appertaining to the internal man. 1615. They who are in the Lord's celestial kingdom are endowed with p.; but they who are in the spiritual kingdom have not p. but conscience in its place. 805, 2144, 8081. P. is a faculty of seeing what is true and good by an influx from the Lord. 202, 895, 7680, 9128. P. is nothing else but the speech or thought of the angels who are attendant on man; when that speech or thought flows in, it occasions a p. that it is so or is not so, but with no others than those who are in the good of love and charity, for by good it flows in; with those, that p. produces thoughts, for what is perceptive is to them the common [or general] principle of thought; but p. from thought is not actually given, but apparently. 5228. The perceptive faculty of the most ancient church not only consisted in a p. of what was good and true, but also in a p. of happiness and delight arising from welldoing; without such happiness and delight in doing what is good, the perceptive faculty has no life, but by virtue of such happiness and delight, it receives life. 503.
PERDITION. To go into p. (Rev. xvii. 8) s. to be rejected. A. R, 734.
PEREGRINATION, or to JOURNEY, den. to progress or advance in life. 1456. In the opp. sense to recede. 1290.

PEREZITE and REPHAIMS. (Josh. xvii. 15.) P. s. the principles of the false, and R., persuasions of the false. 1574.
PERFECT. What is perfected to eternity, cannot possibly be p. in an instant. D. P. 338.
PERFECTION. It appears as if things prior were less perfect than things posterior, or simples than compounds; but nevertheless things prior, from which things posterior are, or simples, from which compounds are, are the more perfect; the reason is, because things prior or more simple are more naked, and less enwrapped with substances and matters void of life; and are, as it were, more divine, wherefore, they are nearer to the spiritual sun, where the Lord is; for p. itself is in the Lord, and thence in the sun, which is the first proceeding of his divine love and divine wisdom; and thence in those things which next succeed, and so in order even to the lowest, which according to their distance are more imperfect. Unless there were such eminent p. in things prior and simple, neither man nor any animal could exist from seed, and afterwards subsist ; neither could the seeds of trees and shrubs vegetate and become prolific: for every thing prior, according as it is prior, and every thing simple, according as it is more simple, because it is more perfect, is more exempt from harm. D. L. W. 204.
PERFECTNESS s. the states of those who are in good.   A. E. 386.
PERFIDY. To act perfidiously den. against divine order, or against truth and good in heaven. 8999. Tact against revealed truths. A. E. 710.
PERFORATE, or BORE THROUGH:, as in the case of the Hebrew servant, den. the addiction of those who do not understand truth, and are not free. 3869.
PERFORATED den. without terminations or planes, and hence the dissipation of influx. 5145.
PERFUMES, OINTMENT, and FRANKINCENSE (Rev. xviii. 13) s. spiritual things of worship. A. R. 777.
PERGAMOS, the church of (Rev. ii.), s. those who place the all of the church in good works, and not any thing in truths of doctrine. A. R. 107.

PERICARDIUM. Des. of spirits whose influx is into the diseases of p. 5188.
PERIODS of TIME are varied according to states of affections and of the thoughts derived from them. A. Cr. 106.

PERIPHERY, or CIRCUMFERENCE. The middle s. much, but the c. little. 2936-40.
PERISH. A man would totally p. if he had not full liberty to think and to will. D. P. 281.

PERITONEUM. Modest spirits, who do not act at all from themselves, but from others, have reference to the p. 5378.
PERMANENCE is pred. of state, when truths become of the life.    9286.
PERMISSION. There are not any laws of p. by themselves, or separate from the divine providence ; but they are the same; wherefore it is said that God permits, by which is not understood that he wills it; but that he cannot avert it, for the sake of the end, which is salvation. D. P. 234.
PERPETUAL, in the literal sense, means to the end of one's life; after death, eternity. 8991.
PERPLEXED, den. the scientifics, which are mingled in the exterior memory. 2831.
PERSECUTE, to, the WOMAN (Rev. xii. 13) s. to infest the Lord's church. A. R. 560.
PERSECUTIONS (Mark x. 29) s. temptations.    4843.
PERSEVERE, to, to the end, is not to be seduced, or succumb in temptations ; hence it den. the salvation of those who are in charity. 3488.
PERSON. According to the angelic manner of speaking, a p. is not named, but that which is in a p., and is constituent of him. A. R. 872. P., in the Word, s. nothing else but things; in a supreme sense, the divine things appertaining to the Lord, and in an internal sense, such things as appertain to man, and are treated of in such case. 3979. The reason why the spiritual sense of the Word is abstracted from p. is because the idea of a p. limits the thought and its extension into heaven every way, for all thought which proceeds from the affection of truth passes through heaven on every side, nor terminates, unless as light into shade, but when a p. is also thought of, then the idea is terminated where the p. is, and with that intelligence also. A. E. 721. Not any p., which is named in the Word, is perceived in heaven, but instead thereof the thing which is rep. by that p., so neither any people nor nation, but the quality thereof; yea further, there is not a single historical relation of the Word concerning p., nation, and people. 5225.
PERSUASION. In the spiritual world there exists a power of p. which deprives others of the understanding of truth, and induces stupor and thereby grief upon the mind, but this power of p. is unknown to the natural world. (See Rev. ix. 5.) A. R. 428. A. C. 3895. P. is said to be infatuating, because it carries away the use of reason, until reason, or the rational mind sees nothing but that, which he who is engaged in that p. speaks, for it speedily excites all that which consents, and conceals all that which dissents; whence the mind (mens) is infatuated by that which is in gross darkness and in a state of abstraction from seeing the truth. This p. is also called suffocating, because it deprives the understanding of the faculty of thinking freely, and of extending its sight on every side, as is done by every rational man. A. E. 549. The state of speaking with spirits on this earth is most perilous, unless one is in true faith. They induce so strong a p. that it is the Lord himself who speaks and who commands, that man cannot but believe and obey. Spirit. Diary 1622.
PERSUASIVE PRINCIPLE is s. by a scorpion; because it is of such a nature as to take away from the understanding the light of truth, and to induce infernal darkness. A. E. 549. The p. p. is infatuating and suffocating. It deprives the understanding of thinking freely. A. E. 543-9.
PERSUASIVE TRUTH is hard, unyielding, and without extension, wherefore it is contrary to order to be persuaded concerning truth in a moment. 7298.
PERTURBATION of MIND caused by spirits.   Des. 5716.
PERVERT, to, s. to turn truth into false, and good into evil.    9253.
PERVERSITY s. the evil of the false.    A. E. 329.
PESTILENCE den. the vastation of good and truth.    7102.
PETER. In the Word which is in heaven, instead of P., is read truth originating in good which is from the Lord. A. R. 768. The reason why P. was the first of the Lord's apostles was, because truth from good is the primary principle of the church, or that in which man is first instructed in order to his regeneration. A. E. 820. P. three times denying the Lord before the cock crew, s. that there would be no faith nor charity in the last time or state of the church. 6000, 6073. P. (John xxi. 15, 21) s. truth without good, or faith separate from charity. A. E. 443.
PETER, JAMES, and JOHN. P. rep. faith, J., charity, and J., the works of charity; in like manner as Reuben, Simeon, and Levi. The rest of the disciples rep. truths and goods which are derived from these, in the same manner as the twelve tribes of Israel, hence those three disciples are mentioned in the Word for all the rest. Preface before 2700. A. E. 411.
PETULANTES. Vagabond spirits, so called because of their impertinent curiosity. 5180.
PHANTASIES and LUSTS. P. s. falses, and l. s. evils. 4293. See Heavens (Imaginary). See Lumen.

PLANKS. There are three p. for the regeneration and eternal perfection of man; viz., infancy and childhood, adult age, and old age, all formed by progressive sciences and knowledges. 1555. There are with man two p., on which are sounded the celestial and spiritual principles, which are from the Lord; the one p. is interior, the other is exterior; the p. themselves are nothing else than conscience; without p., that is, without conscience, it is impossible for any thing celestial and spiritual from the Lord to be fixed, but it flows through as water through a sieve, wherefore they who are without such a p., or without conscience, do not know what conscience is, yea, neither do they believe that there is any spiritual and celestial principle; the interior p., or interior conscience, is where good and truth, in a, genuine sense is, for good and truth flowing in from the Lord is its active principle; but the exterior p. is the exterior conscience, and is where a just and equitable principle in a proper sense is, for what is just and equitable, moral and civil, which also flows in, is its active principle; there is also an outermost p. which also appears as conscience, but is not conscience, viz., acting what is just and equitable for the sake of self and the world, that is, for the sake of self-honor, or reputation, and for the sake of worldly wealth and possessions, also, through fear of the law; these three p. are what rule man, that is, by which the Lord rules man; by the interior p., or by the conscience of spiritual good and truth, the Lord rules those who are regenerated ; by the exterior p., or by the conscience of what is just and equitable, that is by the conscience of moral and civil good and truth, the Lord rules those, who are not as yet regenerated, but who are. capable of being regenerated, and also are regenerated in the other life, if not in the life of the body; but by the outermost p.. which appears like-conscience, and yet is not conscience, the Lord rules all the rest of mankind, even the wicked; these latter, without such rule, would rush headlong into every species of wickedness and madness, which also they do, when loosed from the bonds of that p.; and they who do not suffer themselves to be ruled by those, bonds, are cither'mad, or are punished according to the laws. These; three p. act as one with the regenerate, for one flows into the other, and the interior disposes the exterior; the first p., or the conscience of spiritual good and truth, is in the rational principle of man; but the second p., or the conscience of moral and civil good and truth, that is, of what is just and equitable, is in the natural principle of man. 4167.

PRESENT. It was customary in the ancient church, and thence in the Jewish, to give somewhat as a p. to the judges, and afterwards to the kings and priests, when they were approached, and this was also commanded; the reason was, because the p. which were given rep. such things appertaining to man, as ought to be offered to the Lord when he is approached, which things are what proceed from a free principle, consequently, from the man himself, for his free principle is what is from the heart, and what is from the heart is from the will, and what is from the will is from the alfection which is of the love, and what, is from the affection which is of the love, is free, thus it is of the man himself; from this principle must be given by man a p. to the Lord when he is approached; it was this p. which was rep., for kings rep. the Lord as to the divine truth, and priests as to the divine good.

P. ought to have dignity on account of holy things, but they ought not to attribute the dignity to themselves, but to the Lord, from whom alone they are holy, because the priesthood is not the person, but adjoined to the person. 10.006. P. who do not acknowledge the Lord, have, in the Word, a contrary s. 3670. See Governors,

PRINCIPLES. There are three p. in common appertaining to man, viz., the corporeal, the natural, and the rational p. The corporeal p. is the outermost, the natural, is the middle, the rational, is the interior; so far as one prevails with man above the oilier, so far he is said to be either corporeal, or natural, or rational; these three parts of man wonderfully communicate, viz., the corporeal with the natural, and the natural with the rational. 4038.
PRIOR. All things exist and subsist from what is p. to themselves. H. and H. 37. The ultimate is the complex of all things p. A. R. 678.

(Rev. ii. 10) s. to be infested by evils from hell, because they are as if they were bound in p., for they cannot think any thing but evil, when, nevertheless, they will what is good, hence proceeds combat and interior anxiety.

PRODUCTIONS are continuations of creation.    A. Cr. 97.
PROFANATION. They are guilty of p. who believe truths and live an evil life; as also they who give no credit to truths, and live in external sanctity. 8082, 8394, 10.287. To prevent p., care is taken by the Lord that no one is admitted further into true acknowledgment and belief of heart than he is capable of being afterwards preserved in. 2357. He who does not acknowledge the Lord's divinity in his humanity, and falsifies the Word, yet not intentionally, is indeed guilty of p., but only in a slight degree; whereas they who ascribe to themselves all the power of the Lord's divine humanity, and therefore deny his divine humanity, and who apply every thing in the Word to the purpose of acquiring to themselves dominion over the holy tilings of the church and of heaven, and for that reason adulterate the Word, these are guilty of grievous p. A. R. 723. Those in the Christian world who defile the holy things of the Word by unclean thoughts and discourses, are guilty thereof. 5390. In order to prevent p., the internal or spiritual sense of the Word was not opened to the Jewish or the Christian churches; hence it was hidden from them that there was any thing as a spiritual internal sense within the natural or literal sense of the Word; and that they might be held in such ignorance, it was provided, that the science of cor., which was the chief science of the ancients, should be lost, so that it was altogether unknown what is meant by cor., according to which the Word is written. The reason why the internal sense of the Word is at this day opened, is, because by the last judgment, all things in heaven and hell are reduced to order, and so it is provided by the Lord that p. may not exist. A. E. 375. See also A. C. 10.287.
PROFANATORS after death are not spirits in a human form, as others are, but are mere fantasies, and appear to themselves to fly here and there, without any thought, and at length they are separated from others and cast into the lowest hell of all; they are, therefore, no more called he, or she, but it. A. E. 375.
PROFANE, to, in the worst manner, is to receive and acknowledge things holy, and afterwards to depart from and deny them. D. P. 228.
PROFANE, the, are those who profess to believe in God, maintain the sanctity of the Word, and yet with the mouth only. But the impious, who deny the Divine Being, and all things divine, have nothing holy in them to profane. D. P. 229.
PROGRESSION. In every created thing there is a constant and wonderful p. according to the laws of order. D. P. 332. The Lord was born like a man, and progressed from an obscure to a more lucid state. 1401. He progressed from scientifics to celestial truths. 1402.

PROLONGATION OF DAYS s. the felicity of life eternal.    8898.
PROLONGED, to be, is pred. of good.   3703.
PROPHET. Where any p. is mentioned by name in the Word, it does not mean that p., but the prophetic Word itself; nevertheless, each p. has a distinct signification. 3652. P. is frequently mentioned in the Word, and in the sense of the letter s. those to whom revelation is made, also abstractedly the revelation itself; but in an internal sense, it s. one who teaches, also abstractedly the. doctrine which is taught. 2534. P. s. doctrine of the church dcr. from the Word, and prophecy, the same, because the Word was written by p., and in heaven, a person is considered according to that which belongs to his function or office, agreeably thereto, also, every man, spirit, and angel is named in heaven, wherefore when the word p. is used, forasmuch as his function was to write and teach the Word, the Word is understood with respect to doctrine, or doctrine der. from the Word; hence it is, that the Lord, forasmuch as he is the Word itself, was called a p. A. R. 8. P. (Matt. xi. 9) s. the external things of doctrine and of worship. 2576, P. s. the doctrine and thence the science of truth, and, in the opp. sense, the doctrine and thence the science of what is false. A. E. 559.
PROPHET and DREAMER of DREAMS. (Deut. xiii. 2-4.) P. here s. he who gives a sign, and d. of d., one who gives a miracle. A. E. 706.
PHOPHET, JUST MAN, and DISCIPLE. (Matt. x. 41.) P. s. the truth of doctrine, a j. m., the good of love, and d., the truth and good of the Word and the church. A. E. 695.
PROPHETS s. all those whom the Lord teaches, that is, all who are in the spiritual affection of truth for its own sake. A. E. 624. P. s. those who teach truths from the Word, and, in an abstract sense, the doctrine of the truth of the church, and, in an extensive sense, the Word itself. A. R. 943. False p. are they who teach falses, and in the abstract sense they s. false doctrines. False p. in sheep's clothing, who are inwardly ravening wolves, are they who teach falses, as if they were truths, and lead a moral life to appearance, but when left to themselves to act from their own spirits, they study to deprive all of truths. A. E. 195. The p. rep. the state of the church as to doctrine, and the Lord rep. it as to the Word. A. R. 8. L. 15-17. When the Word was revealed to the p., it was not by influx into their interiors, but by spirits, whom the Lord filled with his aspect; and the spirit so filled, with the divine from the Lord, knows no otherwise than that he is the Lord, and this even, till he is done speaking. H. and H. 254. It is written concerning the p., that they wcro in the spirit, or in vision, also that the Word came to them from Jehovah. When they were in the spiiit, or in vision, they were not in the body, but in their spirit, in which state they saw such things as were in heaven ; but when the Word came to them then they were in the body, and heard Jehovah speak: those two states of the p. are carefully to be distinguished; in the state of vision, the eyes of their spirit were opened, and the eyes of their body shut, and then they heard what the angels spake, or what Jehovah spake by the angels, and also saw the things which were rep. to them in heaven; and then they sometimes seemed to themselves to be carried from one place to another, the body still remaining in its place ; in such a state was John when ho wrote the Apocalypse, and sometimes, also, Ezekiel. Zachariah, and Daniel, and then it is said, that they were in vision, or in the spirit. A. R. 36.
PROPHETS and APOSTLES. They who taught truths, were called p. in the Old Testament, and a. in the New. A. E. 100.
PROPHETS and PRIESTS. (Lam. iv. 13.) P. s. those who teach, and p., those who live according to what is taught. 382.
PROPHETS and SAINTS. (Rev. xi. 18.) P. s. those who are in truth of doctrine, and s., those who are in a life conformable to them. A. R 526.
PROPITIATION s. the operation of clemency and grace to prevent man from falling into damnation by sin, and at the same time, to be a security against the profanation of holiness, which was s. by the propitiatory, or mercy-seat over the ark in the tabernacle. U. T. 135.
PROPITIATORY, or MERCY-SEAT, den. cleansing from evils or remission of sins. 9506.
PROPRIUM. The Lord alone hath p. (something which may be called his own); from this p. he redeemed man, and from this p. he saveth man; the p. of the Lord is life, by virtue of which p. the p. of man is vivified, which in itself is dead. 149. Man's p. is all evil and the false, originating in self-love and the love of the world; and that he believes in himself, and not in the Lord and the Word, and supposes that what he cannot conceive sensually, and scientifically, is nothing, thence come nothing but the evil and false, and thus he sees all things in a perverted view. 210. Man's p. is, as it were, destroyed, when it is vivified or made alive. 731. The p. of man has an innate enmity against the divine providence. D. P. 211. What is divine may be with man as an appurtenance, but not in his p., for the p. of man is nothing but evil. A. R. 758. The Lord is not conjoined with the p. of man, but removes that, and gives to him a new p. from himself in which he abides. A. E. 254. Even the p. of angels is nothing but what is false and evil. 633. The celestial marriage is such, that heaven, and consequently, the church, is united with the Lord by p., so that it consists in p., for without p., no union can exist, into which p. when the Lord out of mercy insinuates innocence, peace, and goodness, in this case it appears still as p., but celestial and most happy. But the difference between this p. from the Lord, and that from man, is like that which subsists between heaven and hell. 252. The Lord united by his divine power in the world, the divine celestial p. with the human p. in his human essence, so that in him they might be one. 256.
PROSPECTION, or VIEW. Den. to think. 2684. And the extension of influx. 8212.
PROSPER s. to be provided; understand, providence so willing it. 3117.
PROSTRATION of BODY cor. to humiliation.    1999.
PROTECTION. Every one is so far under the p. of the Lord, as he abstains from doing evil. A. E. 643.
PROTEST s. to be averse,   5584.    Also precaution.    8836.
PROVENDER s. the good of scientific truths. 5070. "To give p. to his ass " (Gen. xlii. 27) s. to reflect upon scientifics, for p. is the food with which asses are fed, consisting of straw and chaff, and hence it den. all reflection on scientifics, for reflection principally feeds them. 5495.
PROVIDE. It is provided by the Lord that every one is capable of being saved. D. P. 328.
PROVIDENCE. The divine p. is the government of the divine love and divine wisdom of the Lord. That the divine p. of the Lord has for end a heaven, from the human race. That the divine p. of the Lord, in all that it does, regards the infinite and the eternal. That it is a law of the divine p. that man should act from freedom according to reason. That it is a law of the divine p., that man should as of himself remove evils as sins in the external man, and that thus and not otherwise the Lord can remove evils in the internal man, and then at the same time in the external. That it is a law of the divine p., that man should not be compelled by external means to thinking and willing, thus to believing and loving, the things which are of religion ; but that man should lead, and sometimes compel himself. That it is a law of divine p., that man is led and taught by the Lord from heaven, through the Word, doctrine and preachings from it, and this in all appearance as of himself. That it is a law of the divine p., that man should not perceive and feel any thing concerning the operation of tho divine p., but that lie should still know and acknowledge it. That one's own prudence is nothing, and only appears to be, and also ought to appear as if it was; but that the divine p. from things most particular is universal. That the divine p. looks to eternal things, and no otherwise to things temporal than as far as they agree with the eternal. That man is not let interiorly into the truths of faith, and into the goods of charity, except so far as he can be kept in them until the end of life. That the laws of permission are also laws of the divine p. That evils are permitted for the sake of the end which is salvation. That the divine p. is equally with the evil as with the good. That the divine p. does not appropriate, evil to any one nor good to any one, but that his own prudence appropriates both. That every man may be reformed, and that predestination is not given. That the Lord cannot act contrary to the laws of divine p., because to act contrary to them would be to act contrary to his divine love and contrary to his divine wisdom, thus contrary to himself. D. P. 1,33, 46, etc.
PROVINCES of Heaven.    Exp. D. L. W. 288.
PROVISION, abundance of (Gen. xii. 29-31), s. the multiplication of truth, because it is opposed to famine, which s. defect of truth. 6276. P. (Gen. xlii. 2) is hero expressed in the original tongue by a term which s. breaking; by a like term also buying and selling are expressed, where it is said, that the sons of Jacob bought it in Egypt, and that Joseph there sold it; the reason is, because in the ancient church bread was broken when it was given to another, and thereby was a. to communicate from one's own, and to appropriate good from one's own, and thus to do mutual love; for when bread is broken, and given to another, then communication is made from one's own ; or when bread is broken amongst several, in such case the bread becomes mutual, consequently, there is conjunction by charity ; hence it is evident that the breaking of bread was a significative of mutual love; inasmuch as this rite was received and customary in the ancient church, therefore also by the breaking itself was meant tho p. which was made common. 5405.
PROVOKE.    See To Vex.    Anger.
PRUDENCE comes from God. D. P. 191. Self-derived p. proceeds from self-love. D. P. 321.
PRUDENCE and CUNNING. The former is affirmed of those who are in good; and the latter of those who are in evil. A. E. 581.
PRUDENCE and DECEIT were regarded as enormities by the most ancient people, and such were cast out as devils from society. 3573.
PRUDENTLY. He that thinks and acts p., as from himself, acknowledging that he does so from the Lord, is a man. D. P. 321.
PRUNE and WEED, to (Isa. v. 6), s. to prepare for reception.   A. E. 644
PRUNING-HOOKS (Isa. ii. 4) s. truths of doctrine, because gardens s. perceptions and knowledges of truth. A. E. 734.

PUBLICANS and SINNERS s. the Gentiles who received the Lord, and hence the Lord ate with them. A. E. 617.

PULSATION. Influx into the heart is by regular p. Exp. 3884. See Respiration.
PULSATIVE INSTRUMENTS have respect to the joy of those who are of the celestial kingdom. A. E. 863.
PULSE of the HERB (Gen. ix. 3) s. what is vile and refuse in delights, because they are only worldly and corporeal, or external; for the pleasures, which are in things corporeal or extreme, der. their origin from interior delights in orderly arrangement; the delights which are perceived in things extreme, or corporeal, are respectively vile and refuse, for every delight is of such a nature, that it becomes viler the more it proceeds to external things, and happier, the more it proceeds to things internal. 996. P. (Gen. xxv. 29) s. doctrinals. 3316. P. (2 Kings iv. 38) s. a heap of scientifics ill-connected together. 3316. See Beans.
PULSE and INSPIRATION. The variation as to pulses, and as to respirations in the heavens are manifold, being equal in number to the societies therein, for they are according to the states of thought and affection with the angels, which states are according to states of faith and love. 3886.
PUNISHMENT is equally the consummation of evil; and because after p., reformation succeeds, therefore, it is said (Deut. xxv. 3), " that no more than forty stripes should be struck, lest thy brother become vile in thine eyes;" for by forty is s. the end of evil, and also the beginning of good, wherefore, if more than forty stripes should be given, the beginning of good, or reformation could not be s. A. E. 633. Every evil carries along with it its own p. A. R. 762. No one suffers any p. and torment in another life on account of hereditary evils, but for the actual evils which he himself has committed; when the wicked are punished, there are always angels present to moderate the p., and to abate the pains of the sufferers as much as may be, but they cannot remove them entirely, because, such is the equilibrium of all things in another life, that evil punishes itself, and unless it was removed by p. the evil spirits could not be kept to eternity in any hell, but would infest the societies of the good, and do violence to the order appointed by the Lord, on which the safety of the universe depends. 966, 967.
