Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7156

7156. 'By saying, You shall not reduce your bricks at all' means because the introduction of falsities was not in any way diminished. This is clear from the meaning of 'not being reduced at all' as not being in any way diminished, as also above in 7129; and from the meaning of 'making bricks' as putting up with the falsities that have been introduced, dealt with in 7113, 7145.
