That order hath an excellency, and a beauty in it.
The less order there is in any place or state, the worse it is, and where is no order, there it is worst of all. Civil order is the beauty of Common-wealths, and spiritual order is the beauty of the Church. The Apostle rejoiced to behold the order of the Colossians, as well as their faith (Col. 2.5.) His charge to the Corinthians is, Let all things be done decently and in order (1 Cor. 14.40.) He had warned them (ver. 33.) to take heed of disorder, because God is not the God of confusion, but of peace; where order is not kept, the peace cannot be kept. Death is evil, and that's without order; hell is worst of all, and there is no order at all. It is a kind of death to see any disorder, and a very hell to see all in disorder.
