is poysoned through false Imagination and through its owne z Text. Impression compression of its desire is come to be such a hungry fire-source which is onely a shutting in of the true Life and a Ground of Darknesse a source of Enmity and Contrariety wherein there is no more any true Ens wherein the Life might bring it selfe into Light 5. As a hard Stone is shut up so the Soule was shut up and was out of the good Love-Life a Poyson-Life after that manner as out of Angells there became Devills which now also are of such a horrible poysonous stincking fire source in their Essence and cannot attaine the kindling of the Light The cause is this that they are become Enemies of the Divine Love that the Love is to them a Death of their Evill Will and Essence which would slay their false Life in the twinckling of an Eye if they did but come therein 6. This a Text. Impresseten compressed Substance of the Soule perished as to God and blinde as to God the Great Love of God out of mâ—â—re Grace came againe to help as soone as the Soule together with the Body was thus fallen and spake in or breathed in it selfe againe into the Centre of the Soule viz into the Compressed shut up and vanished Heavenly Ens of the Soule viz into the source of Meeknesse which it had which was no more Moveable 7. Into this Soule the Moveable power spake in it selfe againe to be a New Centre and Covenant that God would in the fullnesse of Time in this inspoken voyce of Grace and in Mans vanished heavenly Ens introduce and Manifest his living Ens viz the Essentiall Word of his Power and Wisdome with the Most high Love viz the Name JESUS out of JEHOVA and therewith make the vanished Essence or Substance of the Heavenly part living and growing againe whereof the Soule should Eate and thereby its anxious fire-source would be transmuted and changed into a Love fire 8. This inspoken Grace-word of the Serpent-Destroyer that is it now which the Soules of the Holy Children of God before the Incarnation of Christ have kindled that they beleeved God and his promise of the fullfilling that was to come And in this Faith have they sacrificed 9. For their Sacrifices especially of the first Fathers after Adam were onely that they represented an Image or Figure how the Soule should be sacrificed in the fire of GODS Wrath and how through this inspoken-Grace Ground and Covenant the Soule should be transmuted in the fire of b Or Gods Wrath fire Gods Wrath and changed into a Love fire and how it should enter into the Death and Dying of its self-will with the false Imagination and should burne away the false will in the fire of Wrath and in the power of this inspoken Grace of the Love and Meeknesse of God goe forth through the fire into a cleare light and so become a New-borne childe that is no more Dark but Light and how the Introduced poyson of the Serpent must sever it selfe therefrom as the smoake severeth it selfe from the Fire and Light so that then the Fire and Light becometh a clearer Glance and no more shut up as in the Wood it lyeth shut up in the Essence 10. This Image Type or Figure they set before them with their Sacrifice and introduced their Imagination thereinto with the inspoken Grace of the seede of the Woman and Serpent-Destroyer that so their Imagination might Forme Mould or Image it selfe in the Figure of Christ that so the spirit of their Will might stand in a c Or Imaging Modelling wherein it might worke in the Grace 11. For without Substance no working can be therefore they Imagined or typified to themselves the Regeneration with the Sacrifices by fire and formed or Imaged in them the Serpent-Destroyer in the fire how HEE would change Gods fire of Wrath in the soules-fire into a Light and Love-fire and how the Enmity would sever it selfe from the Soule and how the Soule should through Christs Death where the Love of God gave up it selfe into this fire be changed into an Angell 12. By this Immodeled Image or Type they pierced with their desire and earnest Prayer to God and Gods Word of Grace also thus had modelled and inspoken it selfe in Men and Now there was a Conjunction between God and Man for the Humane desire went with this Image into God and Gods Love-desire went into this Image of the Serpent-Destroyer and so the desire of Man brought this Image of the Imagination into the Sacrifice and so the Sacrifice was kindled with the Holy fire And it was not a Common fire that they had Note If thou Babell couldest understand this it were well for thee and thou wert delivered from the Fables wherein thou runnest on thy Course 13. This Holy fire consumed their Sacrifice through Gods-Imagination and kindling to signifie how the d Or Animall Image Beastiall Image of Man should be preserved in the fire of God and the grossnesse of the Element be consumed and out of the fires Consuming should goe forth the right true created pure bright Spirituall Image in Adam which through this Great Love shall be preserved and brought through into Clarity by the Fire In which New Image the Love it selfe would be the fire of life that it might no more Imagine and Imprint falshood 14. Note With such an Imagination and Beleefe or Faith the first Men before Christs time before he manifested himselfe in this incorporated Grace-Covenant and became Man were apprehended and taken into the Living Word of God viz into that Grace wherein their Soule came into Divine Rest untill at the fullfilling that Christ fullfilled this processe and arose from Death and then Hee also with his Life and Substance in them viz in their Inward Ground of the Heavenly part which vanished in Adam arose and they have put on Christ as to the Soule and spirituall Substance and so now waite for their Body out of the Limus of the Earth viz the Third Principle viz the Outspoken formed Substantiall outward Word with its Spirit of the Resurrection at the Last Day As also it is thus to be understood concerning Christians which here have put on Christ 15. Note This Ground of the Holy Fire began with Adam and Abel When Abel and Cain Sacrificed God looked graciously on Abels Sacrifice for the Image or Type of Christ stood with his Imagination of Faith therein therefore God kindled his Sacrifice with the Holy Fire and it was acceptable before him for it was a Conjunction with the Divine Desire But Cains he looked not graciously on for he had not such Faith or Beleese but stood in the perished Natures owne Lust and Desire and had Imprinted or Imaged to himselfe the Kingdome of this World and therefore the Holy Fire would not kindle in his Image or Type 16. For Cain stood in the Image of the perished Adam as a
of the heavenly Manna What signifieth now this Anointing Answer Nothing else but that as Man is Tinctured againe in Soule and Body and so throughly penetrated and healed that he is capable of the Divine Power againe viz of the Divine fire of Love so must his Brimstone Spirit of the Wrathfull fiery Soule perished as to God be remedied againe by the Covenant of God by such an Anointing Oyle As with the Baptisme there is powred into it the Water of the Eternall Life of Divine Meeknesse and in the Supper is powred into it the fire-burning Love in the Life of our Lord Jesus Christ Reason sayth Cannot God forgive Man his sinne without a Medium Answer The Matter was not about forgivenesse The Soule wanted not onely forgivenesse but a New-Birth It had brought it selfe into owne-will and quite broken it selfe off from Gods will whence the Eternall Darknesse existed in it For the source of its Life viz it s own Seperator understand the Cause of its Creaturely Moving and Life had lift up it selfe and the properties of Life were quite gone forth from their Temperature and had brought themselves into a strange burning fire viz into an anguishing heat and cold into Eternall hunger and thirst into Horror and Despaire Where in the Life of the Body and of the Soule all properties were against one another and Man stood in an Eternall dying source Hee was become quite Blinde and Dead as to God and the more he moved himselfe in his owne ability to apprehend God the greater was his anxious source For the poore Soule was by Lust gone into Earthlinesse wherein Satan and the Spirit of Errour had captivated it and made it wholly Monstrous And now the More it sought Rest therein the greater was its Paine And this now is that which God said to Adam The Day when thou shalt Eate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evill thou shalt die the Death Gen. 2.17 Thus the poore Soule is poysoned through false Imagination and through its owne q Impression compression of its desire is come to be such a hungry fire-source which is onely a shutting in of the true Life and a Ground of Darknesse a source of Enmity and Contrariety wherein there is no more any true Divine Ens wherein the Life might bring it selfe into Light As a hard Stone is shut up so also the Soule was shut up and out of its Good Life there became an Evill Life as out of Angells there became Devills which now also are of such a Horrible poysonous stincking fire-source in their Essence and cannot attaine the kindling of the Light and are an Enemy of all Love and Truth This Compressed blinde Soule-substance and perished as to God the Great Love of God came againe to helpe instantly after that Fall and spake it selfe in againe into the Centre of the Life as a new Covenant viz into the source of Meeknesse which it had which Love-source in it was no more Moveable And did set into the Humane perished heavenly Ens his new Grace-Covenant viz the Destroyer of the Serpent that God would in the fullnesse of Time in this inspoken voyce of Grace introduce thereinto and manifest therein his living Ens viz the Living Word of his Power and Wisdome with the most high Love viz the Name JESUS and therewith make the vanished Essence or Substance living and growing againe from whence the Soule should againe Eate of the heavenly Substance whereby its anxious fire-source would againe be changed into a Love fire Of which the dry Rod of Aaron mentioned by Moses which grew againe and bare Almonds was a r Text. Bild Image or Type figure This inspoken Grace-word of the Serpent-Destroyer is it now which the Soules of the holy Children of God before the Incarnation of Christ have kindled that they beleeved God and his Promise of the fulfilling that was to Come and in this Faith have they sacrificed For their Sacrifices especially of the first Fathers after Adam were only that they represented an Image or Figure how the Soule should be sacrificed in the fire of Gods Wrath and how the Soule should through this inspoken Ground of Grace and Covenant in the fire of Gods wrath be changed into a Love-fire how it should Enter into Death and a Dying to its self-will of false Desire how the false will should be burned off from it and in the power of this inspoken Grace of the Love and Meeknesse of God spring up or goe forth through the fire into a cleere light and so become a new borne childe which is no more dark but light also did live no more in its owne will but in Gods will and how the introduced Serpents-Poyson in this transmutation doth sever it selfe there from in that manner as the smoake severeth it selfe from fire and Light whereas then the fire and Light becometh a cleerer Glance and is no more shut up as it lyeth in the Essence of the Wood shut up Even as the Holy Divine fire of the Soule was through sinne thus also shut up which none could unshut and kindle but only the Love of God in this incorporated Grace-Covenant This Image Type or Figure they set before them with the Sacrifices looking upon the future fulfilling and introduced their Faith with the inspoken Grace of the Womans-seede and Serpent-Destroyer that so their Faith might thus Forme or Mould it selfe in the Figure of Christ that the Spirit of their will might stand in the figure and Image of Christ that their Faith might Work in that incorporated Grace For without Substance no working can be therefore they Imagined or typified to themselves the Regeneration with the Sacrifices by fire and formed or Imaged in them the Serpent-Destroyer in the fire typifying how HEE would change Gods Wrath-fire in the Soule into a Light and Love-fire and how the Enmity would sever it selfe from the Soule and how the Soule should through Christs Death in which the Love of God would Give up it selfe into this Wrath-fire be changed into an Angell By this Immodeled Image or Type with their desire and Earnest prayer they pressed through the Sacrifice to God and Gods Word with the Grace had thus also with the Covenant Modeled it selfe in Men and now there was a Conjunction between God and Man for the Humane desire went with this Image through the Sacrifice in the Holy fire into God and Gods Love-desire went into this Image of the Serpent-Destroyer For God kindled the Sacrifice with the Holy Fire And it was not a Common fire that they had in their Sacrifices though they used wood and Sacrifices thereto yet their fire was not from a stone and a steele but from the highest Tincture of the Paradisicall ground from whence the fire of Life is sprung If Man could understand it and did not so runne on in blindnesse it were well for him and he were delivered from Babell and Fables This holy Fire consumed their Sacrifices

Not so to be understood as if the worke by the unworthy hand were therefore wholly f Or Ineffectuall powerlesse no the Covenant of God g Absenteth or withdraweth severeth not it selfe for the unworthy hands sake which is but a Medium or Means for faithfull Parents which stand in the anointing of this Covenant and have put on the Covenant they have the anointing also in their seede and generate Children out of the property of their bodyes and soules now if they be baptised in body and soule and have put on the anointing of Christ wherefore then not also the Ens of their bodyes if they be the Temples of the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in them and eate Christs flesh and drink his bloud so that Christ is in them and they in Christ as Christ sayth Joh. 6.56 Wherefore then not also the fruit of their Bodies For Christ sayth indeed Matth. 7.18 a Good Tree cannot bring forth bad fruit and a bad Tree cannot bring forth Good fruit If the eye of the spirit be light then is the whole body light If the Leven be Holy then is the whole Lump Holy Matth. 6. Rom. 11. 14. John was baptised in the Mothers womb through the Spirit of Christ out of Maries voice as also his mother Elizabeth and wee see cleerly how it came to passe for as Elizabeth heard the Spirit of Mary the Holy Ghost moved in her and also in her fruit alike they received the Baptisme of Christ out of his humanity alike the Mother with the Sonne wherefore then not also now at present in holy Parents in whom the anointing is For such as the Tree is such is also its fruit But the Covenant in the Baptisme is therefore that every one should themselves with their owne will as a particular branch on the Tree and as a life of their owne put on the Covenant of Christ as through the outward Medium or Meanes ordained thereunto 15. Not to understand that a childe of honest anointed Parents which hath attained life though it dye before the Baptisme that it is not in the anointing of Christ It hath indeed put on the anointing of its Parents for it is existed out of their substance out of their baptised soules and bodies substance and onely needeth if it liveth to enter into the Image of the visible Covenant as a life of its owne and with its will give it selfe up into that which it inheriteth from its Parents But seeing a childe understandeth not this therefore the Parents doe it with their Faith and every one of those that are called to that work viz the h Pathen Gossips Witnesses or God-fathers and God-mothers who in their faiths-desire with their Prayer i Transferre or deliver over recommend the childe to the Covenant of Christ and present it in the Covenant of Christ to the Holy Trinity and desire the Covenant to be upon this Childe 16. All these both the Parents and standers by viz the faithfull Baptiser and Witnesses worke with their faith in the property of the Childe and reach out to it with their faith the Covenant of Christ for the will of their Faith taketh the Childes will being without understanding into their faiths desire and so beare the childes will in their will with their anointing into the Covenant of Christ viz before the Holy Trinity 17. When the Baptiser sprinkleth or powreth the water upon the Childe then is his faith together in the water and fastneth it selfe in the words of Christ who sayth Matth 28.19 Goe hence into all the world Baptising all Nations in the Name of the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost Upon Christs command they Baptise Men the Baptiser Baptiseth with the Hand and with Faith and the Parents together with the Witnesses baptise with their Faiths desire with the anointed will they infuse it into Christs Covenant and Christ infuseth himselfe therein with his Bloud Death and Victory viz with the victory of his Death and kindleth the faiths Ens of the Childe with his love fire 18. Thus the Graine of Mustardseed of the love-fire soweth it selfe into the Childes Soules and Bodies Ens as a Glimmering k Hatcher breeder or Ember Mother of Divine Love which Mother afterwards when the childe getteth understanding of its owne is more kindled through Faith Repentance and Prayer and becometh a high shining Light and when afterwards the Mouth of Faith eateth Christs flesh and drinketh his bloud then this holy Mother love-fire atteineth holy Oyle to the burning of its Life 19. With the Baptisme is implanted the humanity of Christ according to the holy Love-water viz the Water of Eternall Life in which water the holy fire may burne and with the Supper is participated the Holy Tincture in the bloud and flesh of Christ viz the true Love-fire burning a spirituall Anointing Oyle out of the divine fire and Light which the water of Love kindleth viz the Baptisme-Covenant And though a Childe be borne of Holy Parents Note and in the Mothers womb be cleerely in this Covenant yet it ought also to put on this Covenant in its owne selfesubsisting person in its owne lifes will for this Cause that in the flesh Sinne and uncleannesse is together propagated and inherited and therefore should it selfe put on this Covenant for it ought and must it selfe with the Covenant of Grace breake the head of the Serpent in the flesh and therefore it ought also it selfe to put on Christ with his victory For Christ now offereth himselfe to it selfe it ought therefore in its owne person to receive him with its owne will and give its owne will up to him 20.

The Baptisme is an Oath which Man sweareth m In or into to God when he renounceth the Devill and his Kingdome and giveth up himselfe to God for his proper owne viz for a Temple of God And though a childe understandeth not this yet the Baptiser as also the Parents and Witnesses should

Are all of them the Ordinances of God Every Duty of Man towards God or of one towards another mentioned either in the Old or New Testament are cleerly the Ordinances of God But how any thing is a true Ordinance of God and wherein it doth consist is hardly knowne and little considered as it should be that it might be certainly understood and there is much Exercise of our Minds before wee can goe about to examine it rightly wee must know God before wee can know his Ordinances which are of his own appointment and if we know not who he is how can we know that we love him and that it is not somewhat else which we love instead of him for it is said by the Apostle John He that saith he loveth God and hateth his brother is a lyar and the truth is not in him for if a man loveth not his brother whom he hath seene how can he love God whom he hath not seene and 1 Joh. 4.8 he that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love Further the same Apostle saith that 1 Joh. 4.18 God is love and he that dwelleth in Love dwelleth in God and he in him and how can any know this Excellent thing Love in which who so dwelleth is 1 Joh. 3.14 passed from death to life if he knoweth not he hath it in him and then how can he either know God or love him This Love must be in us if we be the Disciples of Christ nay there is not any thing mentioned in the whole Bible concerning Heaven and Redemption but we must have it in us while we are in this life or else we are not Partakers of it yea God hath shed abroad his love into our hearts which is that word of Truth and life which is able to save our soules and doth perfectly save them that Yeeld to it in obedience to the dictates to it receive it that is beleeve and it is both shed abroad and received by very many soules that neither know what that word is nor how they have received it for example when any Man is troubled at his doing of Evill and is sorry for it and wisheth from his heart he had not done it endeavoureth to have a better watch over himselfe resolveth never to doe the same againe desiring strength to be able to resist his doing of Evill any more being carefull least evill suggestions in his minde should allure him and entice him to any
burneth or liveth And the first Principle viz the fiery Soule out of the Divine Science of the Seperable Eternall-Speaking word out of the Fathers fiery Substance is baptised with the fiery Spirit of the Fathers Property as with the fire-burning Love Vnderstand this thus The Soule is of the Fathers Property according to the fiery omnipotency and in this Baptisme in which the Father cobaptiseth Hee giveth it to the Sonne in his Love-fire understand the Soule is of the Fathers fire become a wrath-fire This wrath-fire with his Infusion he giveth to his fire-burning-Love The Fathers Property in the fire taketh hold on the Soule first with the Law of Nature as with his strickt righteousnesse of the Eternall Birth of the fire-ground whereby the hard c Impressed Compressed dead Soule in that same d Eintauchen Infusion of the fire of the Divine life is moveable and its hard c Impressed Compression of the false Magnetick desire is broken in sunder and opened in that manner as a Man strikes up fire thus a new fire of God is kindled which e Trembling or Contrition Commotion or shrill sounding is also the Ground of Repentance Now when the Fathers fire is stirred and kindled then shineth the Divine Light of the Great sweet Love in the opened Name JESUS out of the Holy Name JEHOVA in the Centre of the Fathers fire out of the unity of God as the Beames of Divine Grace in the Soule for the Soule is with this Glimps unlocked and then suddenly the Light of Love taketh in the unlooked ground filleth it with the substance of Love And thus the Sonne viz the Love of the Father receiveth the Soule and sanctifieth it and throughly penetrateth it as fire throughly penetrateth the Iron And that is it which Christ saith Father the Men were thine and thou hast given them unto mee and I give them the Eternall Life Also Note This is the Eternall Life that they rightly know thee Father that thou art the true God and whom thou hast sent Jesus Christ Joh. 17.3.6 In this inshining and indwelling Light is the New Birth and God is Comprehended and knowne in the Spirit whereupon followeth instantly the true Faith which willeth nothing but what God will for thus is Christ the Light of the Little World viz of Man and giveth the Eternall Light-Life of God to the Soule And thus the Soule liveth in the Father and yet with the Sonnes office is governed and sanctified and its anxious Fire-Life is a meere Love-burning But the Fathers Concussion or shrill sounding is necessary that the soules fire-source may be touched that the Soule may finde what it is for it is thereby brought into continuall Repentance and humility when the Beame of Gods wrath often toucheth it that it consider its fall and is at no time secure for it hath a great Enemy neere it in its flesh and bloud viz Satans poyson that it may no more run-on in its owne will as formerly For the Soule in this Beame of wrath trembleth before sinne and so sinne is manifested in the Light and then comes Sorrow and Lamentation over sinne on a heape And thus standeth this pretious figure in the Inward Ground For where the owne will of sinne is shaken through Repentance there the holy anointing Oyle of Love penetrateth instantly and healeth these wounds Thus the Father Baptiseth with fire to Repentance and the Sonne with Love to Sanctification and the Holy Ghost manageth the office who baptiseth with a New life For the whole holy Trinity baptiseth according to the Divine Manifestation For without and beyond the Manifestation there is onely One Triune God in one onely Good f Substance or Essence Beeing and Will whereof a Man cannot say the Father is wrath this or that but is the Triune Good Beeing But according to his Manifestation out of which the Soules and Angells together with Every Heavenly and Hellish Beeing is sprung viz after the Manner of the Mysterium Magnum the Great Mystery from hence ariseth his Wrath or fire-source and that from Eternity in Eternity Note Thus now a Man may understand the Baptisme according to the Inward Ground according to Soule and Spirit viz the Father Baptiseth with the Concussion or shrill sounding to Repentance with fire in which fire the bitter suffering and dying of Jesus Christ is impressed into the poore Soule for the Wrath-fire which holdeth the Soule captive is overcome and softened with Love and this is impressed in the Soule as a victory and the Sonne baptiseth with the holy anointing-Oyle of Gods Love and healeth the poore shaken Soule againe And the true Comforter the Holy Ghost which goeth forth through Christs Death through Christs Resurrection through the Father in the Sonne he baptiseth with a new Life and giveth true Faith and understanding that wee receive and know this The Third Property of the Third Principle with the Water-Baptisme wherewith the body of the outward worlds Substance as also the Outward Life is baptised that is considered as followeth By the Water viz by the Element of the body of Christ the Right Adamicall Man out of the Elements which was created in Adam understand the outward worlds Substance is baptised for heere the Holy Ghost Baptiseth who goeth forth from the Father and the Sonne his going forth is the formation of the world and the world is the outspoken formed Word and the Spirit of God it is that hath formed that outspoken Word Hee is to be understood in all Three Principles or Worlds in each world according to their property As First in the Fathers wrath according to the Darknesse Hee is the flame of painefullnesse and Secondly in the Eternall Light he is the Love flame of God and Thirdly in this world in Spiritu Mundi in the Spirit of this world hee is the formour and workmaster of Every thing in every thing according to its property as the Seperator or Archaeus of the thing is from whence it ariseth so also is the outflowne Spirit out of the outspoken word in every thing And it is not to be understood that the Spirit of the Outward Substance is called God but it is the outflowne Spirit in the outspoken Word of God which with its Ground standeth in the Word of God The Outflowne Spirit of the outward Naturall and Creaturely Life is flowen forth out of Gods Love and Wrath out of Light and Darknesse viz out of the first and second Principle out of the Eternall Nature out of the Speaking of the Word for the Eternall Word hath breathed it selfe with that Spirit into a Creaturely Image-like Life It is the Soule of the Outward World a Life of the foure Elements It s power is as a fiery and lightish Constellation What the whole outward Constellation is in it selfe in its power the same is that Spirit every where alone in it selfe yet as a shut up Constellation that lyeth in the Temperament and yet
unfoldeth it selfe in every Life and maketh it selfe Seperable according to every Lifes property Note Courteous Reader this is what our Authour blessed in the Spirit of the high knowledge indeed readily began to bring to the easier understanding for the simple but hath not finished it for * Anno. A. †O. 1624. in his Jubilee yeare or 50th yeare of his Age he went according to the Mystery againe into his Grave or Magick and Mentall Principle The Fourth Chapter Of the Outward Water-Baptisme by Mans hand who is worthy to performe such Baptisme and what Baptised Infant doth worthily receive this Baptisme how it goeth with the unworthy hand as also with the unworthy Baptised Infant In this time highly necessary to be considered 1. WHen God established the Testament of his holy Covenant of Grace in Paradise out of the Type and Sacrifices would ordaine the Circumcision into Water-Baptisme then he bringeth forth a Branch out of his Covenant in a humane Manifestation and began the Water-Baptisme thereby As is cleerely to be seene in John the Baptist who was proclaimed by the Angelicall Message or Embassie and moreover of the stock of the high Priests 2 His Incarnation or becoming Man came not from the will of the flesh for his Father Zachary and Mother Elizabeth which were ancient people full of Dayes who were cleerly dead in the fleshly sperme or seede where the ability of Man was cleerly gone The seede of Zachary and Elizabeth was raised up through the moving of the Holy Ghost out of the Paradisicall Grace-Covenant in their now quite vanished Spermatick Property 3. Indeed he came out of the humane Ground but not out of humane ability for the Anointing in the Covenant awakened it so that their sperme above the course and power of Natures owne ability was unlocked which Holy Ghost raised up a seede out of the humane sperme and to that purpose chose a The Seede it in its first beginning 4. But the anointing of John was done in Maries Salute when shee came to old Elizabeth and the divine anointing stirred in her understand in Mary out of Christs Incarnation or becoming Man When Mary full of this anointing saluted Elizabeth then the Incarnation of Christ diffused with the anointing through the salute of Mary in John in the Mothers womb and not onely in John but also in his Mother Elizabeth so that shee was full of this anointing and both the Mothers prophesied in the Spirit of this anointing 5. And this is the Baptisme of John when as he was anointed with the Incarnation of Christ out of Christ and received the Baptisme of the Holy Ghost out of the Covenant in the Mothers womb so that he should be a Forerunner and declarer that the time of the Anointing and fullfilling of the Covenant of God was at hand that God hath introduced his Covenant of the anointing of Grace into the humanity and that the Covenant is become a Man that God will hence forward shed forth his anointing through the humanity of Christ through an Elementary Medium or Meanes that consisteth no more in fire as in the Old Testament but in Love and Meeknesse of Water so that the time of Grace is at hand wherein God hath given his anointing into the humanity 6. And then wee see that God there began no new Covenant but onely a New Ordinance for John suffered himselfe to be Circumcised as also Christ John tooke the power and calling out of the Covenant of the Circumcision out of the Sacrifices of fire and by the command of God brought them into the Water-Baptisme to signifie that hence forward sinne should be drowned by the death of Christ in his Love and Meeknesse and no more burne in the fire as was done by Israel in the Type 7. Moreover wee see by John that he did not yet baptise with the forgivenesse of sinnes but with Repentance viz. with the Spirit of the anointing to Repentance which soundeth through the hearts of Men and prepareth the way for the Spirit of Christ which unlocketh the Doores of Mens hearts and soules that after b Viz. John the Baptist him the King of Glory might enter in at those Opened Gates concerning which David sayth Open the Gates wide for the King of Glory that the King of Glory viz Christ may enter in Psal 24.7.9 And as John witnesseth He baptised with water to Repentance and forgivenesse of sinnes yet he is not Christ but after him cometh he that hath the fan in his hand who will baptise with the fire of the Spirit Luk. 3.16 17. 8. Also wee see in John that he must be the sonne of a Priest who were conversant about Circumcision and Sacrifices he must come out of the Law of the Covenant and suffer himselfe to be Circumcised and put on the Covenant that he might with the Spirit of the Covenant and of Circumcision begin the Water Baptisme viz the Ordinance of Grace and forgivenesse for sinne should be destroyed now no more by fire but by Love which God manifested in the Covenant through Christ it sinne should be drowned and changed by Gods Meeknesse 9. Therefore also God ordained for this destroying of sinnes this meanes of the Water-Baptisme to signifie that sinne should be drowned in the bloud of Christ in his Love and Grace and that Man should henceforth have an open Gate of Grace to God in the Love and Meeknesse so that now with the Repentant sorrow for sinnes with the c The absolution from sinnes forsaking of sinnes he may Enter through this Gate into Grace 10. And wee see heere in John the beginner of the Water-Baptisme what Man is worthy to baptise with this new Grace Covenant viz such a one as also beforehand hath been baptised with this Grace as John was by Christ who was Baptised even in his Mothers womb for flesh and bloud without this anointing cannot Baptise for this Might standeth not in the d Or Power authority of Man but in Christs d Or Power authority 11. Note A Christian in whom is the anointing of Christ baptiseth with the anointing of Christ for the Holy Trinity baptiseth with the Grace-Covenant of the anointing with Christs Incarnation or becoming Man with his suffering death and victory Now will any baptise they must not onely baptise with the Hand and Water-Baptisme but also with the Faith of the anointing 12. An unfaithfull or unbeleeving Baptiser doth no more in this high work of the Baptisme Then the Font-stone or Bason doth which holdeth the water for though he sprinkle or powre water and useth the words of Christ yet he Effecteth nothing therewith but is dumb or dead in the working except the Covenant of Christ worketh and baptiseth he is but meerly a Medium or means like a worklesse inanimate e Or Thing Substance that doth not it selfe work together in this Covenant but onely doth the work in which work God worketh in respect of his Covenant
with the heavenly flesh and would fullfill the Type with the flesh of Love and bring forth the Adamicall humanity through Death viz through Gods Anger through the inclosure of the Adamicall Life into Gods Love-fire and breake open the Prison of Death 6. So now in the Type of the Paschal-Lamb he began the New Testament viz the fullfilling of these Types and lead his Disciples to the Sacrifice of the New Testament viz to the Altar of God in his flesh and bloud that they should eate the fullfilling of the Old Testament in the Sacrifice of the New Testament for he brought the Old Testament viz the figure into the New viz into his flesh and bloud which was the Sacrifice of reconciliation for the sinnes of the World and gave them the b Or Reconciliation attonement in his flesh to Eate and in his bloud to drink 7 For the reconcillation should be no more done in fire where the Fathers anger burnt away the vanity in Mans Faith but it should be done in the Love-fire in the flesh of Christ they should now with their faiths desire viz with the fiery lifes Mouth of the soule eate and drink the reconciliation with Christs flesh and bloud No more with Faith in the Type but in Substance no more in power without Substance but with Substantiall Divine and humane power wherein the humanity of Christ himselfe should be the Paschal Lamb Not Deity without Humanity but Deity and Humanity alike 8. For the Paschal-Lamb must be eaten quite up and so also he would not give them onely a piece of his humanity but Note gave himselfe to them wholly and altogether into their soules fire-mouth viz into the Faiths-desire The soules fiery Mouth was now the fire of God which devoured the Sacrifice as common fire devoureth Oyle and giveth a cleere light out of its consuming Thus also Christ gave to his Disciples viz to their faiths desire understand to the fiery Mouth of the Soule as to the true Life his heavenly Body and his heavenly Bloud in that manner and way as the heavenly Ens in the limit of the Covenant gave it selfe into Mary into the vanished Ens and became one Person wholly undivided 9. Note He gave his whole heavenly humanity to them into their Adamicall Humanity understand to the Paradisicall Ground for every Life desireth an Ens of its likenesse viz every fire desireth an Ens for its burning which is like that fire 10. The foolish fire-life was become dark through the Impression of Death and therefore needed a light Ens out of the Divine Light as a Substance of Light as a holy anointing Oyle wherein the dark painfull Soules fire changeth it selfe into a Light and Love-desire This now conceived upon Christs Altar viz out of Christs humanity the Substantiall Love viz the Substantiall Wisdome of God that same fire in this Substance was the Name and the power JESUS viz Gods greatest holinesse which changeth the Soules fire into a Light whence Christ said Hee was the Light of the world Joh. 8.12 For in his power hath the Soule againe attained eyes of Divine Light so that it beholdeth God againe 11. And as a Man giveth Oyle to common fire out of which ariseth a Light so in like manner is to be understood concerning the dark Soules fire which receiveth into it selfe Christs heavenly Ens of the Divine Substantiall Love in this Testament and kindleth againe the vanished even heavenly Ens in Adam and burneth in its likenesse wherein the Kingdome of Heaven viz the City of God is againe unlocked where the Divine Light in that same unlocked Paradisicall Ground shineth againe which is the City of God in Man where the Holy Ghost dwelleth of which Christ saith Hee that Eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud he continueth in Mee and I in him Joh. 6.56 12. In this Paradisicall unlocked Ground Christ viz the Divine Love Ens continneth dwelling in the Light for the power in the Light is the Divine Ens viz the Supernaturall heavenly flesh a Tincture of Life which Tincture tinctureth the Soule and giveth the heavenly fire-Glance to the Soules-fire But yet that a Man may rightly understand it The Soule is the Fathers fire which receiveth into it selfe viz into its fiery desire the Sonnes Substantiall Love viz the holy Love-fire which hath turned it selfe into the humane Tincture viz into flesh and bloud understand into that same humane Lifes power Thus is the changing of the Soules Will Effected 13. Thus wee see first this figure in Moseses Sacrifice of reconciliation that the Soule viz the Faiths desire of the Soule brought it selfe into the Sacrifice as into a Substance and with the Substance went into the fire where the reconciliation through fire was made in the introduced Covenant of the Love-fire in that manner and way as the Substantiall Love of Christ should give it selfe up into the Soules-fire wherein Gods anger did burne for food and reconciliation Secondly wee see also by Moses not onely how the Soule is ransomed from sinne through fire and with the Love in the Covenant became fed with the holy fire of Grace but they blessed also the bread and flesh through the reconciliation of the Grace-Covenant and did eate the same viz the holy bread and flesh as God also commanded them 14. Which signifieth the Orall eating and drinking of the Substantiall Grace where not onely the Soule is fed but Note also the right Adamicall Man which shall arise from Death againe for the Earth was cursed through Mans sinne and Man must from the Curse of Gods anger Eate of the Earthly fruit but with this Sacrifice and blessing of the Covenant God erecteth now a new blessing so that Israel did eate of Blessed food againe where the Grace pressed through the Curse againe as the Sunne presseth and penetrateth through Water 15. All which was a Type of the Testament of Christ which would not onely feed the Soule with Substantiall fiery Love But Note also the right Adamicall Body and that when he would ordaine his New Testament under Bread and Wine signified how the inward Grace of Love would presse through the outward Man as the Sunne penetrateth through the Water or as fire penetrateth through Iron 16. And by the Orall eating and drinking of his New Testament is signified the Paschal Lamb in the Old Testament where the Grace-Covenant of the Divine blessing gave it selfe into a visible Elementary Substance viz into a Medium wherein the humane Body received the Grace And it points at the New Testament where Christ viz the Substantiall Grace would with his Love with the power of his flesh and bloud of Divine and humane property give himselfe into his fellow-Members the Christians through an Elementary Medium of blessed Bread and Wine for-foode and drink where-through the accursed Body out of the Limus of the Earth which hath eaten the Curse into it selfe is blessed againe 17. This wee see cleerly by the Last Supper
the Soule brought it selfe from the breathing Word into owne Will into the visible Substance with the desire for the Soules fire-Life out of the Fathers property could no more attaine that therefore was this ground vanished as to the Creature and not in God but onely to the Creaturely Soule 14. And when this holy Ground of the soule and body was hidden then was soule and body a dark d Dale or Valley Dangeon sull of Paine and Torment for God was hidden to it and instantly the Principles according to their properties began to qualifie and operate as 1 the Soule according to the Anger property of God the Father which as to the light shining in it was hidden And 2 the outward Body began to qualifie in the foure Elements viz in hot and cold and in all other properties of the Starres power and vertue and every awakened property impressed it selfe into a substance whence the body became grosse hard and beastiall and the true Image of God a Visard and Monster And that is the sinne for the sake of which Gods power and vertue went againe into the Humanity and received the Humanity and overflowed into us againe his divine power and vertue through and in a right Humanity 15. Seeing then Man standeth in Three Principles as an Image according to time and Eternity of the visible and invisible Substance and that Christ true GOD and MAN hath also put on to himselfe the visible and invisible Substance in one undivided Person so also is the participation of his Substance in his Testaments to be understood as that every Principle in Man eateth and drinketh of its likenesse againe viz Note 1 The outward right Adamicall Image out of the Limus of the Earth eateth againe of the same humanity of Christ which he received from Man and 2 The Soule eateth of the Divine Love-fire and 3 the Heavenly Divine Substance vanished in Adam eateth of the Substantiall Wisdome and yet wholly unsevered through one onely Faiths Mouth alike But Note 4 The grosse Beast of the Grosse flesh which is but a Huske receiveth onely the outward husk of the Testament viz Bread and Wine and under them the Judgement of God that breaketh and killeth the Lust of the body of this Grossenesse therefore Man should distinguish the body of the LORD and his bloud from the Animall Man that is without Faith which receiveth onely the Judgement under Bread and Wine for as the Mouth is so is also the food in the Mouth 16. Christ sayd Joh. 6. My flesh is the right food and my bloud is the right drink Also I am the Bread that is come from Heaven that Giveth Life to the World Hee that eateth my flesh and drinketh my bloud he continueth in Mee and I in Him but he that eateth not the flesh of the Sonne of Man he hath no life in him Then the Jewes contended one among another and sayd How can this Man give us his flesh to eate and were offended at this saying But he sayd My words are Spirit and Life Note To signifie that wee should beleeve his words and he that comprehendeth and receiveth his word in himselfe he comprehendeth in himselfe that word which is become flesh and bloud which word is become a true humane Substance and that the Faiths Mouth comprehendeth in it selfe viz the right hunger or desire of the right true humanity after a spirituall way and manner Note As the word of the Divine power is become Man so is it also comprehended by the Faith and is Man in his Members also 17. That same Spirituall Substantiall Word taketh on it our Humanity understand the spirituall humanity and giveth it selfe into the same and worketh and dwelleth therein substantially after a spirituall manner as hee dwelt and wrought in the Body which he received from Mary where Men saw on Him outwardly our flesh and Bloud viz the spirituall Worlds substance and yet in the visible was the invisible substance of which he sayd Joh. 3.13 He was therewith come from Heaven 18. Thus also that same invisible spirituall substance of Christ which hath united and introverted it selfe with our Huâ—â—nity into our Faiths desire in that manner as a spark of fire falleth into Tinder and kindleth the Tinder and consumeth the substance of the Tinder and maketh it altogether fire so also the Substantiall Power and vertue of Christ consumeth in his Tinder viz in the humane spirituall Ground in the Minde e Seâ—ses Thoughts and Will and evill influxes in Thoughts and Will whether they were from the desire of the Earthly flesh or from the Devill and from the Lust of the world cast thereinto yet that same spirituall fire consumeth all for it taketh in the Life of Man and ruleth it 19. It is a Light viz a Spirituall Oyle in the Life of Man wherein the true Spirituall Life viz the soulish Life burneth and without this Spirituall Oyle there is no true Light or Life in Man but onely an Astrall Light and the true soule standeth in the dark Dungeon in its Essence and helpeth it selfe with the Astrall Light of the Sunne in which regard it hath also vaine earthly Desires and Lust in it 20. But that soule which attaineth this Holy anointing Oyle of Christ in it selfe turneth its longing and desires away from the vanity of the World into Gods word and power and is as a new young childe that lyeth in the Mothers womb and suffereth the Mother to nourish it Thus it hangeth to Christs Essence Substance and power and eateth of the Stock of the Vine Christ as the branch eateth of the Stock of the Vine Joh. 15. 21. Reason should understand us right It is not so to be understood that Christ hath with his flesh and bloud with the grosse mortall flesh and bloud introverted himselfe into Man which flesh and bloud is of no profit but is onely as a receptacle or shall of the right spirituall Man Much lesse doth the Divine Substance mingle it selfe with Bread and Wine so that when I behold the blessed Bread and Wine and receive it into the Earthly mortall Mouth I should think that I comprehended Christs flesh and bloud with my fleshly Mouth as I comprehend Bread and Wine therewith 22. No That cannot be Bread and Wine is but a Medium or meanes thereunto even as the Earthly Mouth is a Medium or meanes of the Spirit the Spirituall Faiths Mouth of Man comprehendeth Christs flesh and bloud under Bread and Wine not inherent in Bread and Wine for Bread and Wine changeth not it selfe into Christs flesh and Bloud but it is a meanes thereto ordained which Medium belongeth to the visible Man through which Medium the Invisible giveth it selfe into the Invisible Spirituall Man 23. In Bread and Wine two properties are understood as 1 the Grosse Elementary Earthly Substance that belongeth to the Morâ—all Man and then 2 the power and vertue therein wherein the Tincture of the Bread and the Wine
the works of Love then he hath also no Faith the opinion maketh no salvation but is Babell a confusion of the Tongues of the one onely Love None is a Christian unlesse he love his neighbour and desireth to doe him good 14. The outwardly imputed Grace without the innate e Or childelike filial Grace is all false when Christ worketh in a Man then he is a Christian and then the sufferings merits and satisfaction of Christ availe him when he hath him in himselfe for an Advocate who hath done it that he doe it also in him and attracteth his merits to him then is the kingdome of God in that Merit otherwise all Imagelike Opinions are faise No work pleaseth God but what he himselfe worketh in Man through his Spirit therefore let us be the children of Christ and not the children of Images 15. Christ hath imparted his kingdome to us in his Testaments he that will receive it must be his childe else there is no Inheritance to work Repentance is better then to desire to know much Is not the knowledge given from God to a Man then he will not be able to understand the Ground of the divine secret Mystery but if it be given him he neede no Image to continue in the humility and simplicity of Christ and to cleave to his love and Grace without despising of any one is good Christianity All whatsoever speaketh of it selfe is Babell in Christ wee are all Members and all one AMEN The End of the second little Book concerning The Holy Supper The Table of the Two Testaments Angells Book 1.
