On the earths many things take place directly, as is evident from the case of the apostles, who sometimes, when they spoke, were inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the words they were to speak were given to them. This was direct inspiration. Yet the Lord wills that all and the least things go according to order, thus that they go as if of their own accord; for the Lord is Order. So He has established an Order such as is in the body, where all things down to the very least function as if on their own.
