into his Minde Temporall Goods for his own property he is no Christian but a childe of the Serpent for he suffereth his under branches to wither and keepeth away his sap and power from them and will not work forth fruits by his fellow-branches 82. We doe not hereby meane the wicked Idle Crew which will onely suck the sweet and not worke and bring forth fruit themselves in the Tree that they should be pampered to exercise pleasure and vanity but we speake of the twigs which stand in the tree and co-operate and would faine grow and beare fruit from whom the great branches of this world doe withdraw the Sap and hold it in themselves that they as leane overdript twiggs doe wither by and under their charge such are the rich Potentates and Nobles with them the Spirit of zeale doth heere speak so far as they doe keep and hold their Sap within themselves and suffer their small branches to dry up and wither and wholly withdraw the Sap from them they are branches on the tree of the Serpent which is grown up in the Curse of Gods anger and is reserved for the fire of Gods Anger saith the Spirit of Wonders CHAP. XXIII How God re-called Adam and his Eve when they were entred into Sin and vanity and awakened in the Serpents Ens and laid upon them the * * * Estate or calling or Ordinance Order of this toilsome laborious world and ordained the Serpent-bruiser for an Help or Saviour to them NOW when Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evill and were become Monstrous by the Serpent Moses writeth of it thus Their eyes were opened and they knew that they were naked Gen. 3. v 7. and they sewed Figg-leaves together and made themselves Aprons Heere the Soule did even now know the monstrous Image and was ashamed of it that such a grosse beast with grosse flesh and hard bones should awaken or shew it selfe with a beastiall wormes-carkase of vanity in their tender delicate Body and they would have covered the same from the eyes of God and for shame crept behinde the trees so very ashamed were they of the foule deformity of the beast for the Beastiall Ens had swallowed up the heavenly and got the upper hand which they had not before known now they could not tell for shame what they should doe 2. The Serpents craft would not Heere cover the shame but did lay it onely more open and accused them as revolting faithlesse Rebells for Gods anger did awake in them and arraigned them now before the Severe judgement to devoure them into it selfe as into the darke world as hapned to Lucifer 3. And this is the * * * State Condition or Thing which caused the Earth to Tremble c. Place whereby the Earth trembled in the death of Christ and the Rocks clove in sunder Heere Gods Anger shut up the holy Ens of the heavenly humanity in Death which Christ vvhen he destroyed death on the Crosse did againe Open at which the wrath in the Curse of the Earth and rocks shooke and trembled 4. And heere was the Soare combate before Gods Anger in which combate Christ in the Garden when he prayed and was to overcome this Anger did sweat drops of bloud when he said father if it be possible let this Cup passe from me but if it be not possible but that I must drink it thy will be done 5. Christ on the Crosse must drinke dovvn this wrathfull anger which was awakened in Adams Essence into his holy heavenly Ens and change it with Great Love into divine joy of which the drinke of gall and vineger being a mixed Draught which the Jewes gave him was a type signifying what was done invvardly in the humanity of Christ. 6. For the outward Image of man should also be redeemed from the Anger and death and again arise out of the Earth therefore Christs outward humanity from the Kingdome of this world must also drinke of this Cup which God the Father had filled to Adam in his anger the same Christ must drink off and change the anger into Love therefore said Christ is it possible then let it passe from me but it was not possible to overcome the anger unlesse the sweet Name Jesus drinke it into it selfe and change it into joy then said Christ Father thy will be done and not the will of my humanity 7. Gods will should also have been fulfilled in Adam but he exalted his ovvne will by the Serpents craft now the Humanity of Christ upon the Crosse must give this own selfe-will unto the Anger for to devoure it but the holy name Jesus brought it into the death of selfehood that it must dye in the wrathfull death and enter again through death in his Resurrection into the true Resignation viz. into the divine Harmony 8. Adam when he had awakened the Anger in him stood in Paradise in great shame and scorne before God and all holy Angells and the Devills did mock and deride him that this Image of God which should possesse his Royall Throne vvas become a monstrous Beast and into this Scorne Christ must enter and suffer himself to be reviled mocked spit upon whipped crowned with Thornes as a false King for Adam was a King and Hierarch but become false and Rebellious 9. Heere Christ stood in his stead and was condemned to death for Adam also should have been judged by Gods Anger Heere Adam that is Christ in Adams humanity stood in his stead Adam should have been rejected as a curse even as a scorne before Heaven and Earth and and in Sum the vvhole processe of Christ from his Incarnation unto his Ascention and sending of the holy Ghost is Adams estate what Adam had merited as a malefactour Christ himselfe must take upon him in Adams person and bring againe the life out of death 10. Adam was made by the word of God but he fell from Gods Love-word into his Anger-word thus God out of meer grace did again awaken his Love-word in the deepest humility Love and mercy in Adams wrathfull Image and introduced the great Love Ens into the Ens of the awakened anger and changed the Angry Adam in Christ into an holy ONE 11. Moses describeth it very clearly but the vaile lyeth before the beastiall man that he doth not know him for he saith And they heard the voice of the Lord God Verse 8 which walked in the Garden when the day grew coole and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the Trees 12. Moses saith they heard the voice of the Lord God which walked in the Garden what is now this voice which was or stirred in the Garden for Adams eares were dead to the Divine hearing and were awakened in the wrath he could not in his own might heare any more Gods holy voice for he was dead as to the Kingdome of Heaven as to the

againe the unfolded Nature in the Strife of Time into himselfe and draw it together into the Temperature and then would this Time have an End and Strife cease This wee desired a little to delineate for the Lover of Truth let him search further in the Spirit of God which searcheth all things even the deepe things of the Deity and then he will see our Ground in the Truth CHAP. LXXVIII Of the Holy Patriarch Jacobs Buriall in the Land of Canaan What is thereby to be understood Vpon the 50 Chapter of Genesis 1. THe Buriall of Jacob Genesis L. that Joseph should carry him againe into the Land of Candan after his Death and bury him with his Fathers and that Joseph went thither with a Great Company with all the children of Israell and many Egyptians it prefigureth to us Christs powerfull exit out of this world when the Adamicall Man after its death should againe be carried from this Egypt and house of torment into its fathers first Country into Paradise into which Christ will bring it 2. But that also many Egyptians went along with Joseph thither and accompanied him signifieth that Christ when he shall bring home his Bride into Paradise will have many strangers with him who in the time of this Life knew him not as to his person or Office and yet are sprung up in him in his Love which will all goe with Christ into Paradise and dwell and co-habite with him 3. Their weeping and Mourning signifieth the Eternall Joy which they should receive in Paradise as the Magi alwayes by weeping and Mourning prefigure Joy This funerall solemnity and what is to be understood thereby is declared * * * Gen 23. and the 50 Chap. of Mysterium Magnum before concerning Abraham 4. Moses sayth further in this Chapter † † † Gen 50.15 16 17 18 19 20 21. Josephs brethren feared after their father was dead and sayd Joseph surely is wrath with us and will requite all the Evill which wee have done unto him therefore they caused it to be told him thy father Commanded before his Death and sayd thus shall yee say to Joseph forgive I pray thee now the Misdeeds of thy Brethren and their sinne that they have done so evill to thee therefore forgive the Misdeeds of us the servants of the God of thy Father but Joseph wept when it was told him and his brethren went in and fell downe before him and sayd behold wee are thy servants but Joseph sayd to them feare not for I am under the presence of God you thought to doe evill by mee but God turned it unto Good so that he hath done as it is at this Day to pr●s●rve much people therefore be not afraid I will provide for you and your children so hee comforted them and spake friendly to them 5. This figure is a Mighty Comfort to the brethren of Joseph but seeing Joseph standeth in the Image and Type of Christ and his brethren in the figure of a poore Converted sinner therefore wee must expound this figure thus that is when poore sinfull Man who hath committed great sinnes and hath turned to Repentance and attained Grace and committed some fau●t againe then he is alwayes in feare and trembling before the Grace of God and thinketh God will impute his first committed sinnes to him againe and take an occasion against him by this fault and in that regard standeth in great anguish and beginneth to confesse his first committed sinnes againe and falleth a new at the Lords fee●e and entereth againe into earnest si●cere Repentance and bewayleth his first misdeeds as David did when he sayd † † † Psal. 25.7 Lord impute not to mee the sinnes of my youth 6. But by this New Repentance and earnest Lamentation when the poore Man appeareth so very earnestly and humbly before God againe the heavenly Joseph is brought into such Great pitty and Compassion as heere Joseph was that he comforteth the poore soule in its Conscience saying it should not be afrayd all its committed sinnes should not only not be imputed but they shall also turne to the Best as Joseph sayd ye thought to doe mee evill but God entended good thereby thus God in Christ not only forgiveth the by past sinnes to the humble converted Man but he also addeth to him provision for him and his children with Temporall blessing and maintenance and turneth all to the Best as Joseph did to his brethren 7. In the End ‖ ‖ ‖ Gen. 50.24 Joseph desireth an Oath that when he shall dye that they will carry his bones along with them out of Egypt to his fathers which signifieth to us the Oath of God in Paradise that Christ God and Man would come againe to his brethren and stay for Ever with them and be their High Priest and King and nourish them with his power of Love and dwell by and in them as Joseph by his brethren and provide for them as his branches and Members Eternally with his power and sapp Amen 8. This is a briefe summary Exposition of the * * * Genesis first Booke of Moses from a right true Ground and divine Gift which wee have very faithfully imparted in a Co-operating Member-like Love and Care to our Deare fellow Brethren that shall reade and understand this 9. And wee admonish the Reader of this that when he findeth somewhat in any place of our deepe sence to be obscure that he doe not contemne it according to the manner of the Evill world but diligently reade and pray to God who will surely open the doore of his heart so that he will apprehend and be able to make use of it to the profit and salvation of his soule which wee wish to the Reader and hearer in the Love of Christ from the Gift of this Talent in the Ground of the soule and commit him into the Working Meeke Love of JESUS CHRIST Dated 11 September 1623. and then finished Praise the LORD in Sion and praise him all people for his might and power goeth through and is over Heaven and Earth Ha le lu-jah A Brief Abstract of the Sublime Consideration and deep understanding of the Mysterium Magnum Shewing how the visible World is a Streame and Reflexion of the Divine Knowledge and Will and how the Life of Every Creature hath taken its Originall and how the Divine Introitus going in and Exitus Out as to the Creature is EVery sensible and perceptible Life and Beeing or Essence Substance is come ex Mysterio Magno from the Great Mystery as from the streame and reflexion of Divine knowledge in which two things are to be understood viz. the Free will of the Abysse and the Substantiall One in the Will and how these two are a reflexion of the Abysse viz. a ground of the Divine Manifestation also how they are two and yet but one out of which Time and the visible World and all Creatures did flow forth and are become
