By a knowledge of degrees which is set out in this Part, the following arcanum is disclosed, that all things of the mind, that is of man's will and understanding, are in his acts and deeds, included much in the same way as are things visible and invisible in a seed, or in fruit, or in an egg. Acts or deeds by themselves appear in external things just as these do, but yet in internal things there are innumerable things. For there are the concurring forces of the motor fibres of the whole body, and all the things of the mind which excite and determine these forces, which, as shown above, are of three degrees. And because there are all the things of the mind [in these], there are all the things of the will, that is, all the affections of man's love which make the first degree; and there are all the things of the understanding, that is, all the thoughts of his perception which make the second degree; and there are all the things of the memory, or all ideas of the thought nearest to speech, taken from the memory, which present the third degree. Out of these things determined into act, come forth deeds, in which, seen in external form, prior things do not appear although they are actually therein. It may be seen above (n. 209-216) that the outmost is the complex, containant and base of things prior, and that degrees of height are in fulness in their outmost (n. 217-221).
