This is clear from the meaning of 'from man even to beast' as the affection for interior good and exterior good, dealt with in 7424, 7523; for 'man' means the affection for interior good, and 'beast' the affection for exterior good.

For more about the meaning of 'beasts' as good affections, and in the contrary sense evil affections or desires, see 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 1823, 2179, 2180, 2781, 3218, 3519, 5198.
