How to illustrate if we have two points

Normally, if we which to illustrate our points, we can use firstly, secondly, lastly (or last but not least or finally).
There are several information we need to noticed: 
Firstly,... 
Secondly,... 
Lastly,... 

But consider that we have only two points, are we going to use
There are several information we need to noticed: 
Firstly,... 
Secondly,... 

or
There are several information we need to noticed: 
Firstly,... 
Lastly,... 

It seems like firstly->secondly does not have an ending, and firstly->lastly seems to be too fast to end. Is are better way for two points?
