The necessity of obedience, and the danger of disobedience to the spiritual laws of Divine Order. Verses 22-24.
Also man must carefully distinguish between pure and impure affections and thoughts; he must be holy and pure, because he has been separated from evils and falsities; and he must remember that those who pervert good and truth by the abuse of the laws of order, internally or externally, totally vastate themselves. Verses 25-27.
