Ordering and governing concern the practitioner’s heart, mind, conduct and life towards God. The conclusion claims that their condition becomes perceptible in the progress of the work on the Stone. The author adds his own testimony that he has observed this connection with devotion. This is not merely a technical use of “regimen” transferred without comment: it binds ethical self-direction to the fortunes of the undertaking. English “orders and governs” preserves the paired verbs, while “conduct and life” broadens the scope beyond private intention. The claimed correspondence remains the author’s experience, not an independently verified rule of material causation.
