810. "Both small and great!" This symbolizes those people who to a lesser or greater degree are moved by truths of faith or goods of love to worship the Lord.

In the natural sense people small and great mean people of a greater or lesser degree of status, but in the spiritual sense they are people of a greater or lesser degree of worship of the Lord, thus who are moved to worship the Lord more or less reverently or fully by truths of faith or goods of love. This is the symbolic meaning, because it follows the injunction to praise God, all His servants and those who fear Him, and it accords with the symbolic meaning of those words (no. 809).
