DYNAMIC AGENTS AND LAWS. 69 



and corresponding trinity of dynamic agents) ; and, 7. The 

 interior, unitizing, and vital agent, which pervades and governs 

 all the preceding. 



Accompanying, and precisely answering to, these seven 

 dynamic agents in man, are seven laws, or modes, by which the 

 former operate. These are, 1. Expansion, governing all dias- 

 tolic movements ; 2. Contraction, governing all systolic move- 

 ments ; 3. Circulation, governing all rudimentally reciprocat- 

 ing movements (first trinity) ; 4. Aggregation, governing all 

 depositing and organizing operations ; 5. Segregation, governing 

 all ascending movements ; 6. The law governing all sympa- 

 thetic movements (second trinity) ; 7. The law of all vital, 

 unitizing, and governing operations, the vital and spiritual 

 constitution as a whole being here the mover. 



Now, in the macracosm, or great universe, we have, 1. 

 Heat, which corresponds to Passion or Love ; 2. Light, which 

 corresponds to Intelligence or Wisdom ; and 3. Electricity, 

 which corresponds to nerve-essence, in the little universe 

 these forming a fundamental trinity of dynamic agents as 

 operative in outer nature. There is also a second and corre- 

 sponding trinity of dynamic agents in nature, and also a seventh 

 and vitalizing agent, as corresponding to the same in man ; 

 but these important agents shall be illustrated hereafter. 

 Assuming their existence for the present, however, we may 

 remark, that, corresponding to these seven dynamic agents, 

 there are also seven laws which govern the outer universe, a-nd 

 all its correspondent sub-creations, whether in the animate or 

 inanimate departments of being. These laws, indeed, are the 

 same throughout with those which we have seen to apply to 

 man, though in lower creations they exist in lower degrees of 

 development. They may be exhibited, with their ternary re- 

 lations, in the following table :
