54# 宇宙赖以受造安顿的神性秩序内涵繁复，非分层铺陈不足以阐明；后文专论创造之章节，将勾勒其整体纲要。
当知谨记：宇宙万有连同一切细微分殊，皆各依专属秩序受造，方能恒持存有；自创世之初便是如此，使万物融汇于宇宙总秩序之内。盖因一切个体分殊的专属秩序，唯有寓于普遍总秩序中方能存续，由此联结共成完整大全。
今举数例以明此理：人自有其专属秩序，人身内一切构成亦各安其序：头颅、躯干各有秩序；心、肺、肝、胰、胃诸脏腑各守其序；周身肌肉等运动器官、眼耳舌等感知器官，亦各循自有秩序。乃至周身每一支微动脉、每一缕细纤维，无不在自有秩序之中；万千细微构造与人身整体相融联结，彼此相契共构完整人身。
天地间其余造物莫不循此定则，略举品类便可印证：地上走兽、空中飞鸟、海中游鱼、各类爬行生物、一切虫豸直至微末蟑螂；各样树木、灌木藤株与田间菜蔬；世间石块、各类矿物，乃至大地每一粒微尘，凡此种种，皆各依专属秩序受造而成。
54# 解释宇宙创造的秩序的性质需要大量篇幅。后面关于创造那一章（TCR 75-80节）会给出它的概要。必须铭记，宇宙中的一切事物，无论总体还是细节，都是各按自己的秩序被创造的，以便它们可以独自持续存在，并且它们起初如此被创造，以至于与整个宇宙的秩序结合，或说符合普遍秩序，以便具体秩序都可以在普遍秩序中持续存在，却又都可以构成一体。举几个例子来说明这一点。人是按他自己的秩序被创造的，他的每一个部位也是按自己的秩序被创造的；如头、身体、心、肺、肝、胰、胃，以及被称为肌肉的一切运动器官，一切感觉器官，如眼睛、耳朵、舌头，都是各按自己的秩序被创造的。事实上，身体中凡没有自己秩序的动脉或纤维，哪怕最小的，根本就不存在；然而，这些无数部位如此符合共同的秩序，与共同的身体如此结合在一起，以至于它们都构成一体，或说形成一个整体。这同样适用于其它事物，仅仅提及它们就足以说明。地上的一切走兽、空中的一切飞鸟、海里的一切鱼，一切爬行动物，事实上一切虫子，甚至直到飞蛾或最微小的昆虫，都是各按自己的秩序被创造的；一切树木、植物、灌木和草本植物，以及一切石头和矿物，甚至直到最小的一粒灰尘，都是各按自己的秩序被创造的。
54. Explaining the type of design that was built into the universe at creation would take many volumes. (A little sketch of it will appear under the next subheading, on creation [75-80]).
One point that needs to be understood is this: Each and every thing in the universe was created with its own design so that it would continue to exist on its own. This happened from the very beginning so that each thing could become part of the overall design of the universe. The purpose is that the individual designs shall continue to exist within the universal design so that all are one.
Now for some examples. The human being was created with a design of its own, and also each individual part of a human being was created with a design of its own. The head has its own design, the body has its. The heart, the lungs, the liver, the pancreas, and the stomach have their own designs. Every organ of motion called a muscle has its own design. Every organ of sensation, such as the eye, the ear, and the tongue, has its own design. In fact, there is not a capillary or a fibril in the human body that lacks its own design. Yet all these countless parts connect with the overall design and join up with it in such a way that together they form one overall design.
The same applies to all other things. A mere list of them is enough for illustration. Every animal on land, every bird in the sky, every fish in the sea, every reptile, in fact, every insect even down to a grub has its own design built in from creation. Likewise every tree, shrub, bush, and vegetable has its own design. Furthermore, every stone and every mineral, even down to every type of dust on the earth has its own design.
54. To expound the nature, however, of the order imposed on the universe at its creation would demand many pages. The following section on Creation [75-80] will attempt an outline sketch of this topic. It must be grasped that everything in the universe has been endowed by creation with its own order, so that it may continue in existence by itself. This order was imposed from the beginning in order to link up with the order of the universe, so that each particular order should continue in existence as part of the universal structure and thus be one with them. Let us proceed to a few examples.
Man is endowed by creation with his own order, and so is each and every part of him; the head has its order, the body its, the heart, the lungs, the liver, the pancreas, the stomach each its own; likewise every organ of movement called a muscle, and every organ of sense, as the eye, the ear or the tongue. To be sure, there is not a single little blood-vessel or minor fibre in the body which has not its own proper order. Yet all these countless parts are joined to the body as a whole and are so linked into it as to make one together with them. The same is true of all other things, which it will be enough to list as an illustration. Every land animal, every bird of the air, every fish of the sea, every creeping thing, even every worm down to a grub has by creation its own order. Equally every tree, bush, shrub and vegetable has its; and so moreover has every stone, every mineral, right down to each single particle of dust.
54. It would require many pages to explain the nature of the order into which the universe was created. A sketch of it will be given in a following section on the Creation [n. 75. It must be borne in mind that each and all things in the universe, that they might subsist by themselves, were created each into its own order, and in the beginning were so created as to conjoin themselves with the order of the whole universe, to the end that each particular order might have subsistence in the universal, and thus all might make one. But to refer to some examples-Man was created into his own order, and every part of him into its own order; as the head into its order, the body into its order; the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, and stomach, each into its order; every organ of motion, called a muscle, into its order; and every organ of sense, as the eye, the ear, the tongue, into its order; nor does there exist any least artery or fiber there that has not its own order; and yet these innumerable parts join themselves with the common body, and so insert themselves in it that all together make one. The same is true of other things, the mere mention of which will suffice for illustration. Every beast of the earth, every bird of heaven, every fish of the sea, every reptile, and every worm, even to the moth, has been created into its own order; equally so every forest tree and fruit tree, every shrub and plant; and still further every stone, every mineral, down to every grain of dust, into its order.
54. The nature and quality of the order in which the universe was created would require many pages to explain; but a slight sketch of it will be given in a subsequent section on Creation (75, et seq.). It must be borne in mind that all things in the universe, both in general and in particular, were created each in its own order, that they might subsist by themselves; and they were thus created from the beginning in order that they might conform to the universal order, to the end that, while particular orders should exist, they might yet constitute one whole. This may be illustrated by the following examples. Man was created in his own order, and also each part of him in its order, as the head, the body, the heart, the lungs, the liver, the pancreas, the stomach; every organ of motion or muscle in its order, and also every organ of sense, as the eye, the ear, the tongue. In fact, there is not the smallest artery and fibre in the body which has not been created in its own order; and yet these innumerable parts so conform to the common order and unite with it that they form one whole. The case is the same with the rest of created things, but a mere mention of them must suffice. Every beast of the earth, every bird of the air, every fish of the sea, every reptile, in fact every worm oven to the minutest insect, has each been created in its own order; likewise every tree, plant, shrub and herb, and also every stone and mineral even to the smallest grain of dust, each has been created in its own order.
54. Qualis autem Ordo est, in quem Universum est creatum, non potest nisi quam per plures membranas exponi; quaedam schiagraphia ejus in sequente Lemmate de Creatione exhibebitur. Tenendum est, quod in Universo omnia et singula, ut per se subsistant, in suos ordines creata sint, et quod a principio ita, ut cum universi ordine se conjungant, propter causam ut singulares ordines subsistant in Universali, et sic unum faciant: sed ad quaedam Exempla; Homo in suum ordinem creatus est, et quoque unumquodvis ejus in suum, sicut Caput in suum, corpus ejus in suum, Cor, Pulmo, Hepar, Pancreas, Ventriculus in suos, omne organum motus quod vocatur Musculus in suum, et omne Organum sensus, ut oculus, auris, lingua, in suum, imo non datur arteriola et fibrilla ibi, quae non in suum, et tamen innumerabilia haec se conjungunt cum communi ejus, et se ei injungunt ita, ut simul unum faciant: simile est cum reliquis, quorum sola recensio ad illustrationem sufficit; omnis Bestia terrae, omnis Avis coeli, omnis Piscis maris, omne reptile, imo omnis vermis usque ad blattam, in suum ordinem creatum est; pariter omnis arbor, omne arbustum, virgultum, et legumen, in suum; et insuper omnis lapis, et omnis minera, usque ad unumquemvis pulverem 1 terrae, in suum.
