Obedience is Heaven’s First Law …Pope's famous line, “Order is Heaven’s first law,” has often been misapplied. Order is a result of compliance with established requirements; of necessity, therefore, it cannot be first. It is an effect, not the primary cause. A more thoughtful generalization leads to the conclusion that obedience is the basal [i.e., fundamental; basic] law of Heaven, and that this law is equally valid and as truly operative in things pertaining to mortality.Share
