14. From what is said in THE DOCTRINE CONCERNING THE SACRED SCRIPTURE Nos. 27, 28, 38, it may be seen that the highest, the middle and the lowest make one, like end, cause and effect; and that, because they make one, the end itself is called the first end, the cause the middle end, and the effect the last end. Hence it will be evident that in the man who is principled in spiritual good, moral good in him is middle spiritual good, and civil good is lowest spiritual good. Hence then it is, as has been said above, that the man who is principled in spiritual good is a moral man, and a civil man; and that the man who is not principled in spiritual good is neither a moral man nor a civil man, but only appears as if he were: he appears to be so to himself and also to others.
