妙法蓮華經玄義 2.125

2.125

次第者，從麁至細。苦相麁故先說，滅雖非真，因滅會真，滅相麁亦先說。又舉世苦果，令厭世集。滅能會出世果，令其欣道。作如此次第也。

As for the sequence, it goes from the crude to the subtle. Because the marks of suffering are crude, they are expounded first; although cessation is not the ultimate real, because cessation accords with the real and the marks of cessation are also crude, it is expounded first. Furthermore, citing the worldly fruit of suffering induces disgust toward worldly accumulation. Cessation can accord with the supramundane fruit, inducing aspiration for the path. Hence it follows this sequence.
