In the next place Plato says, “At the same time he who orderly disposed all these particulars, remained in his own accustomed manner.” And Proclus observes, that Plato every where after having employed many words, summarily comprehends the multitude of them in the conclusion. For he knew that in the Demiurgus, one intellectual perception comprehends the multitude of intellectual conceptions; that one power connects many powers; and that a uniform cause collects into one union divided causes. Hence the words [prior to these], “Having, therefore, instructed souls in all these particulars,” and the words before us, “He who orderly disposed all these particulars,” lead the distinct energy of the Demiurgus to an united cause. Farther still, the word _all_ manifests that which is consummated from all its appropriate boundaries. But the words _orderly disposed_, indicate the order pervading through all beings, which the Demiurgus introduced to the mundane Gods, and to partial souls; demonstrating the former to be demiurgi, but inscribing in the latter the laws of Fate. Moreover, the word _remained_, does not manifest station, and inflexible intellection, but an _establishment[95] in the one_. For according to this, he is exempt from wholes, and is separated from the beings that intellectually perceive him. But this establishment itself is eternal, and always invariably permanent. These things, therefore, are also indicated by the words _accustomed_ and _manner_; the one exhibiting sameness of permanency; but the other the peculiarity of the demiurgic stability. For _manner_ is indicative of peculiarity; since connective is different from immutable, and both these from demiurgic permanency. CHAPTER XIII.
