Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Mr. Understanding

The Lord Mayor for Shadddai's Mansoul and Immanuel's Mansoul.[3]

"The Lord Mayor, Mr. Understanding.—The Understanding is the lord and umpire of the soul, holding the intellectual mastery over man. This power, having once a far-seeing eye, a quick perception, an understanding heart, and a lordly counsel, is now degraded, darkened, and imprisoned, “having the understanding darkened,” Ephesians 4:18."[2]
