What the end of the play looks like from the far side of it, given to Neville by a correspondent who saw it in vision and adopted by him: when the curtain comes down on the final act you will thank every being in the world for playing the part they played relative to you, even those who murdered you - because without all those parts being played you could not have been awakened. He lists the parts without softening any of them: those who imprisoned you, those who hurt you, those who accused you wrongly, those who spat in your face, those who did everything in this world to you - all of them contributed to your waking. It is the emotional consequence of the doctrine that everything is ordered and must fulfil its destiny, and of the rule that God uses even the wicked for the day of trouble; but where those state the principle, this states the gratitude, which is the harder half. The exact wording appears once; near forms of the same recognition appear in at least three other lectures, and the attach lane's judgement should decide which of them are tellings and which are echoes.
