Good and evil. Good is implanted in our nature, but evil is not (fol. 18, p. 74). – Our mind can be aroused to good even without the mediation of angels, but our feelings do not accept the knowledge of evil without the mediation of demons (f. 18, pp. 73–74). – What keeps the human heart from striving for evil? (fn. 21, p. 81). – How does remembering good and bad affect a person? (fn. 30, p. 134). – Every good thought occurs in us from Divine grace, and evil thoughts are allowed to tempt and test us (page 85, p. 403).
