Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5936

5936. 'And in the eyes of his servants' means including what occupied the lowest position. This is clear from the meaning of 'servants' as lower things, dealt with in 2541, 5161, 5164, 5305, and so also lowest ones. Which kind of factual knowledge occupies the lowest position in the natural, and which kind occupies a position not quite so low, see just above in 5934.
