After ordinary human signs, the author says their purpose is to make the remaining meanings plainer and more evident. This is an explicit pedagogical transition: familiar badges, seals, and labels prepare readers for harder natural and supernatural claims. The passage explains the order of examples without proving that the later systems have the same evidential reliability as the conventional ones.
