6473. The truth that the Lord governs what is last and lowest in a person just as much as what comes first may be recognized from the consideration that order begins in the Lord and proceeds in consecutive stages from what comes first to what is last and lowest. Genuine order has nothing else than what is Divine within it, which being so, the Lord is inevitably present in what is last and lowest just as much as in what comes first; for one follows the other in an orderly sequence.
