are mild, n. 487.  Adulteries of the second degree are adulteries of lust, which are committed by those who indeed are able to consult the understanding, but from accidental causes at the moment are not able, n. 488.  Adulteries committed by such persons are imputatory, according as the understanding afterwards favors them or not, n. 489.  Adulteries of the third degree are adulteries of the reason, which are committed by those who with the understanding confirm themselves in the persuasion that they are not evils of sin, n. 490.  The adulteries committed by such persons are grievous, and are imputed to them according to confirmations, n. 491.  Adulteries of the fourth degree are adulteries of the will, which are committed by those who make them lawful and pleasing, and who do not think them of importance enough to consult the understanding respecting them, n. 492.  The adulteries committed by these persons are exceedingly grievous, and are imputed to them as evils of purpose, and remain in them as guilt, n. 493.  Adulteries of the third and fourth degree are evils of sin, according to the quantity and quality of understanding and will in them, whether they are actually committed or not, n. 494.  Adulteries grounded in purpose of the will, and adulteries grounded in confirmation of the understanding, render men natural, sensual, and corporeal, n. 495, 496.  And this to such a degree, that at length they reject from themselves all things of the church and of religion, n. 497.  Nevertheless they have the powers of human rationality like other men, n. 498.  But they use that rationality while they are in externals, but abuse it while they are in externals, n. 499.

ON THE LUST OF DEFLORATION, n. 501-505.

The state of a virgin or undeflowered woman before and after marriage, n. 502.  Virginity is the crown of chastity and the certificate of conjugial love, n. 503.  Defloration, without a view to marriage as an end, is the villany of a robber, n. 504.  The lot of those who have confirmed themselves in the persuasion that the lust of defloration is not an evil of sin, after death is grievous, n. 505.

ON THE LUST OF VARIETIES, n. 506-510.

By the lust of varieties is meant the entirely dissolute lust of adultery, n. 507.  That lust is love, and at the same time loathing, in regard to the sex, n. 508.  The lot of those (who have been addicted to that lust) after death is miserable, since they have not the inmost principle of life, n. 510.

ON THE LUST OF VIOLATION, n. 511, 512.

ON THE LUST OF SEDUCING INNOCENCIES, n. 513, 514.

ON THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ADULTERIES WITH THE VIOLATION OF SPIRITUAL
MARRIAGE, n. 515-520.

ON THE IMPUTATION OF EACH LOVE, ADULTEROUS AND CONJUGIAL, n. 523-531.

The evil in which every one is principled, is imputed to him after death; and so also the good, n. 524.  The transference of the good of one person into another is impossible, n. 525.  Imputation, if by it is meant such transference, is a frivolous term, n. 526.  Evil or good is imputed to every one according to the quality of his will and of his understanding, n. 527-529.  Thus adulterous love is imputed to every one, n. 530.  Thus also conjugial love is imputed to every one, n. 531.
