13:60 I began this Teaching out of My desire to teach the single protection of fertilizer in order to first save those who produce crops. *Note: As Oyasama once said, “It quickly wish to save first, the farmer; second, the worker; third, the craftsman; fourth, the merchant;” it is the divine intention to save those from the low valleys in succession. The verses from 60 to 72 are mainly about the single protection of fertilizer.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 206 六〇、親神は、先ず第一に豊作するのを救けるために、肥一条の守護を教えたいから、この教をはじめた。 『一に百姓、二に働き人、三に職人、四に商人、これ早く救けたい』と、仰せられて、谷底の者から順々に救け上げる思召しである。 以上七二までは、主として肥一条に就て仰せられている。
