207. In every ultimate there are discrete degrees in simultaneous order. The motor fibres in every muscle, the fibres in every nerve, also the fibres and little vessels in all viscera and organs, are in such order. Inmostly in these are the most simple things which are the most perfect; the outmost is a composite of these. There is a like order of these degrees in every seed and in every fruit, also in every metal and stone. Their parts of which the whole is composed, are of such a nature. The inmost, the middle and the outmost things of the parts are in these degrees, for they are successive compositions, that is, bundlings and massings together from simple things which are their first substances or matters.
