2478. Inward things, on the other hand, are portrayed by things in the body, as you may see above [2445, 2462, 2472], with respect to the outer form of the body, or its use outwardly, its faculty of feeling and action. They are likewise unfathomable, nor can they ever be arrived at, much less understood, on the basis of the outer parts of the body, because we see hardly anything to compare them with. Nonetheless inward things act together in forming outer ones to such a degree that hardly any inward thing may be lacking without something going wrong.
