CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
of the world, and the end of the church; 4. The sun of the spiritual
world, and the Lord’s coming in the clouds; 5. The abomination of
desolation. The time, when these five memorable relations were
written, may be determined by their form; for in 1765 the "Spiritual
Diary" was brought to a close, as we have shown in no. 127, and
the subject-matter of it was continued afterwards in "memorable
relations," like the above. The subjects treated in the above
relations are, however, similar to those discussed in the "Apocalypse
Revealed," so that they were probably written soon after that work
was finished.
1766. (132.) Colloquia cum Angelis (Conversation with angels),
in MS., pp. 3 , folio.
These conversations are written in the same Codex, in which the
rough draught of Swedenborg’s Index to the "Apocalypse Revealed”
is contained, wherefore they must have been written about the same
time. They consist of aphorisms on various spiritual subjects in
seventeen paragraphs. They have not yet been translated into
English.
For further particulars respecting the original MS., and the
printed copies, see Document 310, Codex 7; no. 3.
1766 and 1767. (133.) Opus Primum de Amore Conjugiali
(Swedenborg’s first work on Conjugial Love), in MS.
This work, it seems, was not preserved by the Author, as it was
not among the MSS. which his heirs committed to the charge of the
Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. Two indexes of it are however
preserved, from which we are able to obtain minute information
respecting its contents. It appears that this work consisted of 2055
paragraphs. The following are the headings of the chapters: I. On
Conjugial Love. 1. Marriages in heaven; 2. The origin of conjugial
love ; 3. The delights of truly conjugial love ; 4. The connection of
conjugial love with all the loves of heaven ; 5. On masculine and
feminine conjugial love in particular, and the intelligence of either
sex; 6. The marriage of good and truth ; 7. The differences and variety
of conjugial love among men according to the states of the church;
8. The increase of love truly conjugial, and the decrease of love not
truly conjugial; 9. Conjugial similarity and dissimilarity; 10. The
causes of cold, of separations and divorces, among married partners ;
11. Polygamy or a plurality of wives; 12. Betrothals and nuptials ;
13.. The difference between the love of sex among beasts and among
men; 14. The change of state with a woman and a man by marriage,
whereby a maiden becomes a wife, and a youth a husband; 15. The
