AC 1756 - the series and the singular

AC 1756
In general, the foregoing are the things
that are involved in the internal sense of this chapter;
but the series or connection itself of the things, and its beauty,
cannot appear when each separate thing is explained in detail
according to the signification of the words,
as they would if they were embraced in a single idea,
for when they are all understood under a single idea
the things that had been scattered
appear beautifully coherent and connected.
