63. Such being the form of heaven, it is ruled by the Lord as one man, thus as a unit. For although man, as is well known, consists of an innumerable variety of things not only as a whole but also in each part-as a whole, of members, organs and viscera, and in each part, of series of fibres, nerves and blood-vessels, thus of members within members and of parts within parts-yet the man when he acts, does so as a one. Such then is heaven under the oversight and leadership of the Lord.
