Scriptures also and instead of receiving comfort therefrom I was only wound●…ed in spirit by them witnessing that saying The Letter kills but it is the Spirit that quickens But now I shall come to the matters themselves Jacob Behme to the Doctors and Schollars and Readers of his Writings COme on ye Doctors if yé are in the right then give answer to the Spirit What do you think stood in the place of this world before the time of the World 2ly Out of what do you think the Earth and Stars came to be 3dly What is that in man that displeaseth God so much that he tormenteth and afflicteth man so being he hath created him And 4thly That he imputeth Sin to man and condemneth him to eternal punishment 5thly Why hath he created that wherein or wherewith Man committeth sin 6thly What is the cause or the beginning or the birth and geniture of Gods fierce Wrath out of or from which Hell and the Devil are come to be 7thly Or how comes it that all Creatures in this world do bite scratch strike beat and worry one another and yet sin is imputed only to man 8thly Out of what are the venomous and poysonous Beasts and Worms and all manner of Vermine come to be 9thly Out of what are the holy Angels come to be 10thly What is the Soul of man And lastly What is the great GOD himself and how is he in Love and Wrath If you can demonstrate that God is not in the Stars Elements Earth Men Beasts Worms Leaves and Grass also in Heaven and Earth also that all this is not God himself that my Spirit is false and wicked then I will be the first that will burn my Book in the fire and recall and recant all whatsoever I have written and will accurse it and in all obedience willingly submit my self to be instructed by you I do not say that I cannot err at all for there are some things which are not sufficiently declared and are described as it were from a glimpse of the great God when the Wheel of Nature whirled about too swiftly so that man with his half dead and dull capacity or apprehension cannot sufficiently comprehend it Now it concerns every one that will speak or teach of divine Mysteries that he have the Spirit of God and know in the Light of God those matters which he will give forth for true and not suck or draw them from his own reason and so without divine knowledge run upon the bare Letter in his opinion and drag the Scriptures as it were by the hair of the head to prove it as is usually done by reason From this so exceeding many Errors are arisen in that the divine knowledge hath been sought in mens own wit and art and so men are drawn from the Truth of God in their own Reason And though I search sublimely and deep and shall set it down very clearly yet this must be said to the Reader that without the Spirit of God it will be a Mystery to him and hidden from him Therefore let every one take heed how he judgeth that he fall not into the judgment of God. Every one will not understand my Writings according to my meaning and sense but every

one according to his gift for his benefit one more than another according as the Spirit hath its property in him For the spirit of God is often subject to the spirits of men if they will that which is good or well and seeth or looketh af●…er what man willeth that his good work be not hindred but that every where above all Gods will or willing or desiring be done Of the two Qualities in one TVvo Qualities a good one and an evil one are in one another as one thing in this World in all powers in the Stars and the Elements as also in all the Creatures and no Creature in the ●…esh in the natural Life can subsist unless it hath the two Qualities 2. For from the two fold Source every thing hath its great mobility running springing driving and growing for meekness in Nature is a still Rest but the fierceness in every Power maketh all things moveable running and generative for the driving Qualities cause a Lust in all Creatures to evil and good 3. In every Creature in this World is a good and evil Will and Source which is caused by or proceedeth from the Stars for as the Creatures in the Earth are in the●…r Qualities so are the Stars there is nothing in Nature wherein there is not good and evil in Men Beasts Fowls Fishes Worms and in all that which is upon the Earth or in the Earth or Gold Silver Copper Tinn Lead Iron VVood Herbs and Grass in the Earth in Stones in t●…e VVater and all whatsoever can be thought upon Eve●… thing moveth and liveth in this double impulse working or operation be it what it will. 4. But the holy Angels and fierce wrathful Devils are here to be excepted the holy Angels live and qualifie in the Light and Meekness in the good Quality but the Devils live and reign in the fierce wrathful Quality in fierceness destruction and perdition 5. And though Moses writes I am an angry zealous God Yet the meaning of it is not that God is angry in himself and that there ariseth a ●…ire of Anger in the holy Trinity No that cannot be for it is written Against those that hate me In that same Creature the Fire of Anger riseth up For if God should be angry in himself then the whole Nature would be on fire which will come once to pass in the last day in Nature and not in God. But in God the triumphing Joy will burn it was never otherwise from Eternity nor will it ever be otherwise 6. Now the elevating springing triumphing Joy in God maketh Heaven triumphing and moveable and Heaven maketh the Stars and Elements moveable and the Stars and the Elements make the Creatures moveable out of the Powers of God are the Heavens proceeded out of the Heavens are the Stars out of the Stars are the Elements out of the Elements are the Earth and the Creatures come to be Thus all had its beginning even to the Angels and Devils which before the Creation of Heaven Stars and the Earth were proceeded out of the same Power out of which the Heaven the Stars the Earth were proceeded Now Hell and the dark World or the anger of God is a Gulf of desperation devoid of the Hope of God and all good it is the first ground to the eternal Nature the place is between the Kingdom of God and this World and maketh a peculiar Principal dwelling in it self and hath neither place nor local abode and is every where inhabiting it self only and yet it giveth Essence to the Light and outward 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is it is the cause of the Source viz. the Fire 〈◊〉 the whole Beeing of all God's Beeings 7. In the Darkness he is an ang●…●…ealous God in the fire Spirit a consuming ●…ire and 〈◊〉 the Light ●…he is a merciful loving ●…od and in the Power of the Light he is especially above all other Pro●…rties called God and yet 't is all but God manifested●… who manifesteth himself through the eternal Na●…ure in ingredient Properties 8. The Essence of this VVorld 〈◊〉 in evil and good and the one cannot be with●…t the other But this is the great Iniquity of this ●…Vorld that the evil over powereth the good that 〈◊〉 Anger is stronger then the Love and this by re●…n of the Sin of the Devils and Men who have dist●…bed Nature by the false Desire that it mightily and effectually worketh in the wrath as a Poyson in the Body 9 VVe see very clearly that there is nothing in this VVorld so evil but it hath a good in it the good hath its rise originally out of the heavenly Property or light VVorld and the evil hath its Property out of the dark VVorld for both VVorlds are in each other as one Of the Seven Forms or Properties of the Eternal Nature which make three Principles or VVorlds I. Form Astringent Desire IT is the beginning of the eternal Nature the cause of Essences as also of harshness sharpness hardness Cold and Substance ●…a Mother of all Salts II. Form Bitter Compunctive The motion of the Desire it cutteth asunder the hardness and attracted Desire the true Root of Life a cause of the stirring so also of the Senses and the ground of the bitter pain III. Form Anguish Perceivance It is a cause of the Mind wherein the Senses are moved and acted the ground of the natural VVill wherein the eternal VVill desireth to be manifested that is it will be a Fire or Light In these three first Properties consisteth the foundation of Anger and of Hell and of all that is wrathful IV. Fire Spirit Reason Desire In the Fire the unity appeareth and is seen in the Light that is in a burning love and the wrath in the Essence of Fire In Fire and Light consisteth the Life of all things viz. in the Will thereof let them be ●…nsensible vegetable or rational things every thing as the Fire hath its ground either from the Eternal as the Soul or from the Temporary as Astral Elementary things for the Eternal is one Fire and the Temporary is another V. Form Light Love. This Property is the ●…ire of Love or world of Power and Light which in the Darkness dwelleth in it self and the Darkness comprehendeth it not in the Light the eternal Unity is substantial that is an holy spiritual Fire an holy Light an holy Air which is nothng else but Spirit also an holy Water which is the over-flowing Love of the unity of God and an holy Earth which is all powerful virtue and working It is the true spiritual angelical world of the divine Joy which is hidden in this visible world VI. Form Sound Voice Word Proceeding from the divine Powers which is formed in the Love the Sound is the understanding wherei●… all the Properties understand one another VII Form Essence Beeing Mansion This seventh Property is rightly and truly called the ground or place of Nature wherein the other Properties stand in one only ground the

into the Pires Might desiring to domineer in the strong fiery Might Thirdly URIEL is a gracious aimable blessed Prince and King he hath his Name from the flash or going forth of the Light which signifieth rightly God the holy Ghost For as the Holy Ghost goeth forth from the Light. and formeth figureth and imageth all and reigneth in all such also is the power and gracious aimable blessedness of a Cherubim who is the King and Heart of all his Angels that is when his Angels do but behold him they are all then affected and touched with the Will of their King. These three Kingdoms together contain such a deep as is not of any human number nor can be measured by any thing yet you must know that these three Kingdoms have a beginning and end but that God that hath made these three Kingdoms out of himself is infinite and hath no end And the three Kingdoms are circular round about the Son of God neither of them is further or nearer to the Son of God for the one is equally as near about the Son of God as the other From this Fountain and from all the Powers of the Father goeth forth the Holy Ghost together with the Light and Power of the Son of God in and through all Angelical Kingdoms or Dominions and without beyond and besides all the Angelical Kingdoms which no Angel or man is able to search or dive into Neither have I any purpose to consider of it furthermuch less to write but my Revelation reacheth even into the three Kingdoms like an Angelical Knowledge Here you must know that the Angels are not all of one Quality neither are they equal or alike one to another in Power and Might Indeed every Angel hath the Power of all the seven qualifying or fountain Spirits But in every one there is somewhat of one Quality more predominant and strong then another and according to that Quality he is glorified also As the Flowers in the Meadows do every one receive their Colour from their Qualities and are named also according to their Qualities so are the holy Angels also But the King is the Heart of all the Qualities and hath his Court or Residence in the midst or centre like a ●…ountain and as the Sun standeth in the midst among the Planets and is King of the Stars and the Heart of Nature in this World so great also is a Cherubim or King of Angels VVe are not to understand that the holy Angels dwell only above the Stars without the place of this VVorld Indeed they dwell without the Dominion and Source of this world but in the place of this world a●…eit there is no place in Eternity the place of this world and also the place without this world is all one to them VVe men see not Angels and Devils with our Eyes and yet they are about us and among us the reason is because they dwell not in the Source and Dominion of our world VVe understand that evil and good Angels dwell near to one another and yet there is the greatest immense distance between them for the Heaven is in Hell and the Hell is in Heaven and yet the one is not manifest to the other and although the Devil should go many Millions of Miles desir●…ng to enter into Heaven and to see it yet he would be still in Hell and not see it also the Angels see not the Darkness for their sight is meer Light of divine Power and the Devils sight is meer Darkness of God's Anger The like also is to be understood of the Saints and again of the VVicked Their agillity or nimbleness is as swift as the Thoughts of a man yea as the divine Power it self is yet one Angel is mo●…e swift then another and that answerable according to their Quality Now upon the seventh Spirit of God their Foot doth stay which is solid like a Cloud and clear and bright as a Christaline Sea where they walk upward and downward which way soever they please In that seventh Spirit also riseth up the heavenly 〈◊〉 and Colours and whatsoever is apprehensible Antiquity hath represented the Angels in Picture lik●… men with Wings but they have no need of any Wings yet they have Hands and ●…eet as men have but after a heavenly manner and kind At the day of the Resurrection from the dead there will be no difference between Angels and men they will be of one and the same kind of form and our King Christ clearly testifieth the same To whom shall I liken the Angels they are like to little Children that walk in the Fields among the Howers and pluck them and make curious Garland of them they take one another by the Hand and walk together and rejoyce together Here is nothing but a cordial meek and gentle Love. a friendly courteous Discourse a gracious aimable and blessed Society where the one always delighteth to see the other and to honour one another They know of no Malice cunning Subtilty or Deceit but the divine Fruits and pleasant Loveliness is common among them And know that we speak from a true ground and not from conjecture that God created Angels and men to his own Joy. Of the Mystery of the Creation and of the outward World. SEeing the Prince of the Hierarchies when he sate in the heavenly Essence in the Rest did fall and aspired for the centre of the eternal Nature he was cast into the darkness and God by his motion created him another Prince out of this place but without divine understanding for a Ruler in the Essence and that is the Sun. From this place proceeded in the divine motion the seven Properties of Nature understand the Planets which govern the essential Beeing in good and evil in which Essence Lucifer sat and whence he was cast and lost his dominion in the Essence Now observe The Sun hath its own Royal Place to it self and doth not go away from that place where it came to be at first as some suppose that it runneth round about the Globe of the Earth in a Day and a Night and some of the Astrologers also write so Here I shall have Adversaries enough that will be ready to censure me and say Astrologers understand it better wh●…●…ave writ of such matters andthey will look upon this great opening as a Cow looks upon a new Barn-door But that I write otherwise then Astrologers in some things I do it not out of supposition doubting whether it be so or no I dare make no doubt herein neither can any man instruct me herein I have not my Knowledge by study Now this Opinion or Supposition is not right but the Earth roveth or turneth it self about and runeth with the other Planets as in a Wheel round about the Sun Th●… Earth doth not remain staying in one place but runeth round in a Year once about the Sun as the other Planets viz. Venus and Mercury that are next the Sun but Saturn

The inward eternal working is hidden in the visible world and it is in every thing and through every thing yet not to be comprehended by any thing in the things own Power the outward Powers and Virtues are but the Passive and the House in w●…ich the inward do work All the other worldly Creatures are but the Substance of the outward world but man who is created both out of Time and Eternity out of the Beeing of all Beeings and made an Image of the divine manifestation The eternal manifestation of the divine Light is called the Kingdom of Heaven and the habitation of the holy Angels and Souls The fiery Darkness is called 〈◊〉 or God's anger wherein the Devils dwell together with the damned Souls In the place of this world Heaven and Hell are present every where but according to the inward ground Inwardly the divine working is manifest in God's Children but in the VVicked the working of the painful darkness The place of the eternal Paradise is hidden in this world in the inward ground but manifest in the inward man in which God's power and virtue worketh There shall perish of this world only the four Elements together with the stary Heaven and the earthly Creatures 〈◊〉 the outward gross Life of all things The inward Power and Virtue of every Substance remain●… eternally Of Man who is made after the Image and Similitude of God. THe whole Body with all its parts signifie Heaven and Earth The inward hallowness in the Body of man with the Wind-pipe and Artaries wherein the Air qualifieth or operateth signifieth the Deep betwixt the Stars and the Earth wherein Fire Air and Water qualifie in an Elementary manner and so the war●…th of the Air and Water qualifie also in the Wine-pipe and Arteries as they do in the Deep above the Earth The Flesh signifieth the Earth and is also from the Earth The Blood signifieth the Water and is from the Water The Breath signifieth the Air and is also Air. The Veins signifie the powerful flowings out from the Stars and are also the powerful out-goings of the Stars for the Stars with their power reign in the Veins and drive forth the form shape and condition of men The Entrals or Guts signifie the operation of the Stars or their consuming of all that which is proceed ed from their Power for whatsoever themselves hav●… made that they consume again and remain st●…ll 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ●…eir virtue and power and so the Guts also are the ●…onsuming of all that which man thrusteth and stuffeth into his Guts even all whatsoever groweth from the power of the Stars The Heart in man signifieth the Heat or the Element of Fire and it is also the Heat for the heat in the whole Body hath its original in the Heart The Feet signifie near and afar off for near and ●…far off are all one in God and so man by means of his Feet can come and go near and afar off let him be where he will he is in Nature neither near nor afar off for in God these are one thing The Hands signifie God s Omnipotence for as God in Nature can change all things and make of them what he pleaseth so man also can with his Hands change all that which is grown in Nature and can make with his Hands out of them what he pleaseth he ruleth with his hands the Work and being of the whole Nature and so they very well signifie the Omnipotence of God. The whole Body to the Neck signifieth the round Circle or Sphere of the Stars as also the Deep within or between the Stars wherein the Planets and Elements reign The Head signifieth Heaven it containeth the five Senses viz. Seeing Hearing Smelling Tasting and Feeling wherein the Stars and Elements qualifie and therein existeth the Syderial or heavenly stary or astral and natural Spirit in Men and Beasts in this floweth forth Good and Evil for it is the House of the Stars Such power the Stars borrow from Heaven that they 〈◊〉 make in the Flesh a living and moving Spirit in man ●…nd Beast The moving of the Heaven maketh the 〈◊〉 moveable and so the Head also maketh the Body ●…oveable Note The Syderial Body is the highest excepting the Divine in man the Elemental Body is only its Servant or dwelling-House as the four Elements are onl●… a Body or Habitation of the dominion of the Stars The elemental Spirit and Body is inanimate and void of understanding it hath only Lust and Desire in it●… Vegetation is its right Life the inward Light and Power of the Light giveth in man the right divine understanding But there is no right divine apprehension in the Syderial Spirit The Syderial Body dwelleth in the Elemental as the light world in the darkness it is the true rational Life of all Creatures Of the first Man Adam before and after the Fall. ALl things of this world have a two-fold Body viz. an Elemental from the Fire Air Water and Earth and a spiritual Body from the Asirum and likewise a two-fold Spirit the one Astral the other Elemental Man only among all the earthly Creatures hath a three-fold Body and Spirit for he hath also the internal spiritual World in him which is likewise two-fold viz●… Light and Darkness and also corporeally and spiritually this Spirit is the Soul but this ●…ody is from the VVater of the holy Element which dyed in Adam that is disappeared as to his Life Now when God created the Earth he founded its time when he would keep the Judgment and sever the evil from the good and give the evil for an Habitation to the apostate Prince but being the good in the Occluse Earth was without heavenly

goeth forth from Eternity to Eternity continually from the Father and Son and replenisheth the whole Father he is nothing less or greater then the Father and Son. Here we cannot say with any ground that God is three Persons but he is three fold in his eternal Generation b●… begetteth himself in Trinity having three manner of workings and yet but one only Essence as may be seen i●… the over-flown Power and Virtue in all things but it is especially represented to us in Fire Light and Air which are three several sorts of working●… and yet but in one ground and substance And as we see that Fire Light and Air arise from a Candle though the Candle be none of the three but a cause of them so likewise the eternal Unity is the cause and ground of the eternal Trinity which manifesteth it self from the Unity and bringeth forth it self in first Desire or Will which is the Father secondly Pleasure or Delight which is the Son and thirdly proceeding or out-going which is the Holy Ghost Of the Creation of the holy Angels and how an Angel and a Man is the Image of God. THe Powers in God do operate or Qualifie in that manner as in Nature in the Stars and Elements or in the Creatures No you must not conceive it so for Lord Lucifer in his Elevation made the Powers of impure Nature thus burning bitter cold astringent sower dark and unclean But in the Father all Powers are mild soft like Heaven very full of Joy for all the Powers triumph in one another The quality of the VVater is not of such a condition or man●…er in God as it is in this world The bitter Quality qualifieth in the sweet astringent or ●…arsh and sower Quality and the love riseth up from Eternity to Eternity As all the Powers of God the Father rise up from Eternity to Eternity so all the Powers rise up also in an Angel and a Man into the Head ●…or higher they cannot rise for they are but Creatures which have a beginning ●…nd an●… end And in the Head is the divine Council-S●…t or Throne and it signifieth God the Father And the five Senses are the Counsellors which have their Influences out of the whole Body out of all Powers Now the five Senses always sit in Council in the Power of the whole Body and when the Council's Decree is concluded then the compacted or concruted Judge speaketh it out into its Centre or midst of the Body as a word into the Heart for that is the Fountain of all Powers from which also it taketh its rise Now it standeth there in the Heart as a self-subsisting Person composed out of the Powers and is a VVord and signifieth God the Son and now it goeth ou●… from the Heart into the Mouth on to the Tongue which is the sharpness and that so sharpneth it that it sendeth sorth and is distinguished according to the five Senses From what Quality soever the VVord taketh its original in that Quality it is thrust forth upon the Tongue and the power of the destruction or di●…erence goeth sorth from the Tongue and that 〈◊〉 the Holy Ghost The Mouth signifieth that thou art an unalmighty Son of thy Father whether thou art an Angel or a Man for through the Mouth thou must draw into thee the power of thy Father if thou wilt live An Angel must do so as well as a man though indeed he needs not to use the Element of Air in that manner as a ●…an doth 〈◊〉 he must a 〈◊〉 into himself through the 〈◊〉 the Spirit from which the Air of this World 〈◊〉 For in Heaven there is no such Air but the Qualities are very meek and joyful like a pleasant cheering breath of Wind. And this the Angel also must make use of or else he cannot be a moveable Creature for 〈◊〉 must also eat of the heavenly Fruit through the Mouth Thou must not understand this in an earthly manner for an Angel hath no Guts neither Flesh nor Bones but is constituted and composed by the divine Power in the shape form and manner of a man and hath all Members like man except the Members of Generation and the Fundament or go●…ng out of the Dross neither hath an Angel need of these For man got his Members of Generation first in his doleful and lamentable fall An Angel sendeth forth nothing but the divine Power which he taketh in at the Mouth wherewith he kindleth his Heart and the Heart kindleth all the Members and that he sendeth forth from himself again at the Mouth when he speaketh and praiseth God. But the heavenly Fruits which he eateth are not Earthly and though they are of such a form and shape as the Earthly are yet they are meer divine Power Indeed it is most certain and true that there are all manner of Fruits Plants and Flowers in Heaven as in this World and not meerly Types and Shadows As the Angels are so are the Vigitation and Fruits all from the divine Power These heavenly Sprouts and Springings thou must not wholly liken to this World for there are two Qualities in this world a good and an evil and many things grow through the Power of the evil Quality which doth not so in Heaven For Heaven hath but one Form or manner nothing groweth there which is not good only Lord Lucifer hath deformed and dressed this World in that manner Of the Place and Government of Angels WHen God Almighty had decreed in his Counse●… that he would make Angels and Creatures ou●… of himself then he made at first three Kingly Governments or Dominions answerable to the number of the holy Trinity and each Kingdom had the order or ordinance Power and Quality of the divine Beeing First Prince Michael signifieth the great Strength and Power of God and is created according to God the Father that circumference or space Region or Province wherein he and his Angels are created is his Kingdom which is above the created Heaven Secondly Prince Lucifer this high and mighty glorious beautious King lost his right Name in the fall He was created according to the quality beauty and condition of God the Son and was bound to and united with him in Love and his Heart also stood in the centre of Light as if he had been God himself and his Beauty and Brightness well transcended all For his circumference Conception or chiefest Mother was the Son of God his Court Province Place or Region wherein he dwelt with his whole Army or Company and wherein he is become a Creature and which was his Kingdom is the created Heaven and this World wherein we dwell with our King Jesus Christ. For our King sitteth in divine Omnipotence where King Lucifer did sit and on the kingly Throne of expulsed Lucifer and the Kingdom of King Lucifer is now become his O Prince Lucifer how dost thou relish that Lucifer had still been an Angel if his own Will had not introduced him

In Popery much iugling ●…ath been invented about this in saying Mass for a Soul and that for Money only but 〈◊〉 hath been a great Cheat of the Pope of Babel for ther●… is earnestness required to wresile with the anger of God and overcome it Yet we confess and acknowledge readily that the Churc●… of Christ hath great power to ransom such a Soul if 〈◊〉 fervency and earnestness it do it as it was done in the Primitive Church when they had holy People and holy Priests who performed their Ministry in real earnestness They indeed effected somewhat but not in such a way as the Pope boasteth of saying That he hath the Key and that he can let out a Soul with 〈◊〉 Blessing when he will if a man will give him Money This is a Lye. VVhether separated Souls take care of human matters FIrst those Souls which yet have not attained Heaven and so stick in the Source in the Principle in the Birth those have yet the human Essence wi●…h the Works in them they diligently search out 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And therefore many of them come again with the 〈◊〉 ●…irit and wander up and down in their ●…ouses and places 〈◊〉 abode and ●…ar in a human Shape desire this and that ●…nd often times take care about their Wills or Tesiaments ●…nd also think to procure the blessing of the Saints that they 〈◊〉 rest and if their earthly A●…airs do still stick in them 〈◊〉 take care many times also about thei●… Children Friends This condition of theirs con●…ueth so long till they fall into their Rest and till their 〈◊〉 Spirits be consumed then all such doings cares and 〈◊〉 are at an end and they also have no more knowledge thereof but that they see them in the wonders in the Magick After this sort are once received into Grace they take no care purposely about human earthly M●…rs but 〈◊〉 the ●…eavenly Matters which are brought to it by the Spirit of 〈◊〉 and rejoyceth in them But there is somewhat still behind which is this A living man hath such power that his is able with his Spirit to go in●…o Heaven to the seperated Souls and stir them up about some Question by a 〈◊〉 desire but it must be earnest it must be Faith that must break open a Principle And this we see in Samuel the Pr●… whom the King of ●…ael raised up that he might make his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to him though it seem otherwise to some of whom we may well say 〈◊〉 they are blind and void of Knowledge 〈◊〉 they speak but their own scholastick Fables and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 about that they have no knowledge of in the Spirit And these are Babel Now secondly the other sort which sink into Death without a Body they are wholly in one and the same place of the Principle in which the first sort are which afterwards did sink down in themselves All these take no evil Affairs upon them wherein the Turba sticketh But when the honest Souls which are alive send them their Works with their Spirit and Will they rejoyce in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 are so a●…able that they appear to men a●…lly in 〈◊〉 and shew them good wayes and many times reveal 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 lie in secret viz. in the Ab●… of the Soul. Thus know that no Soul separated from the Body 〈◊〉 into any wicked matter except it be a damned Soul which indeed entreth in magically and hath its joy therein 〈◊〉 teacheth most notorious vile Pranks in Dreams for it is 〈◊〉 servant of the Devil and whatsover a wicked man desireth that the devil readily helpeth him to for he can do it better by the Soul of a man then of himself for he is too crude and terrifieth the Magia so that the elementary Spirit 〈◊〉 astonished and awakneth the Body Also this you must know that all is done magically in th●… Will without awakning of the Source No Soul 〈◊〉 with its Ess●…nces of its own accord to please man unless man raise and disturb it himself There are many Villanies in Negromancy which ca●… many times vex and torment the Spirits of men but it 〈◊〉 do so to no Soul that is cloathed with Christ's essentiality for that Soul is free The third sort of seperated Souls which are in Abraham's bosom in Christ having the heavenly essentiality none 〈◊〉 stir except they will themselves as when they have a favour to a Soul that is like themselves also they take no earthly thing upon them except it make for the Glory of God and then they are restless to reveal something in a Magical way But then they let no Turba into them neither do they intercede with God for us but whatsoever cometh to them they rejoyce in it with the Angels for the Angels rejoyce at a Sinner that repenteth then much more the Souls Why should they pray to God for us it lieth not in their Prayer but in 〈◊〉 entring into God when he strongly turneth his Will to God then God's Spirit h●…lpeth him without Prayers Of the Resurrection and also of the end of Time. WHen the last Day shall begin to dawn then the Deity manifesteth it self once more and that is the third time in all Forms in Love and Anger and then all things together at once shall be plainly laid open in the sight of all Creatures Now here is the End of Time for then the beginning 〈◊〉 found the end and the end is then the beginning and 〈◊〉 again into that which it was from Eternity If we knew certainly the 〈◊〉 of the sixth Day wherein 〈◊〉 Creation was finished we could then set you down the ●…ear and Day we mean the last Day for it goeth not a Minuit further it hath its limit hid in the inward Circle Therefore know for certain that the Time is near for 〈◊〉 the sixth day Afternoon the Rest of the eternal Day began ●…nd therefore God instituted the Sabboth of the seventh Day for a Rest and an everlasting Remembrance And as the Rest began on the 〈◊〉 Day towards the Evening and the entrance to the manifestation of the Works of the Creation the end then taketh in the beginning again and the six Days stood thus in the Circle as a wonder so know that ye were created in Paradise and yet are gone out from it into the spirit of wrathfulness into Death which hath now wrought its Wonders in you these 5500 Years and upwards And now the End hath found the Beginning again and yo shall see also feel and find what Paradis●… hath been even every one of them that shall be born in God. But the middle with the Wonders which were manifested in the time continueth forever more in the beginning and in the end as an eternal middle with its Wonders viz. with the Angels and Men and their Essences as also the figures of all Creatures all that hath been essential at any time the Earth with its Metals also Stones and all material Substances 〈◊〉 Trees

or Incarnation of Jesus Christ is become a powerful Substance or Matter to us for for our sakes is God become Man that he might bring our Humanity out of Death into himself and redeem or release our Soul out of the Fire of God's anger And we now with good ground of truth say that the possibility of the New-birth is in all men else God were divided and not in one place as he is in another And herein we exactly know that man is drawn by the Fire and the Light●… to which he inclineth into that he falleth and yet he may in this Life-time rise aloft again Also we say that the true Temple wherein the holy Ghost preacheth is in the new birth The Spiri●… also testifieth clearly that Angels and Men have one and the same Image for God hath made another Angel instead of expulsed Lucifer and his Legions out of the same place where Lucifer sate and out of which he was made which Angel was Adam But seeing he stood no●… therefore God generated to himself a second Adam out of the first the same is called Jesus Christ. Also it is plain and clear enough that as Jesus ascended to Heaven so he will come again in the same Form at the last Day with a divine and glorified Body as a Prince of the holy Angels which shall be the men Angels Also we know the becoming Man or Incarnation of Christ to be natural as of all the Children of men the Lord gave himself to be under the Servant that the Servant might become living and is in like manner in nine Months become a perfect man and also continueth a true God become born into the world through that way and passage as all men are Had he not had a natural Soul then he had not in the Person had all the three Principles What should he then have committed into the Hands of his Father at that present when he dyed on the Cross Or what had suffered on the Cross if he had not been natural The earthly part which he took to himself out of his Mother Mary that is to or upon the divine Substance dyed away on the Cross. Thus was the Soul in the Substantiality of God and as 〈◊〉 victorious conquering Prince went into the Hell of Devils that is into God's Anger and quenched it with God's Love and Meeknes●… of the divine Substantiality For the Love-Fire came into the Anger-Fire and drown●… the Anger wherein the Devil would be God thus was the Devil taken cap●…ive with the Darkness and lost his dominion The Spirit of Christ took the Devil captive and drove him out of the Fire of the Soul and cast him into Darkness and shut him up under darkness out from the Fire of the Soul and out from God's fire into the wrathful harshness and bitterness in Cold. Consider the first four Forms of Nature and you will understand what the Devil's Mansion is for before Christ came he kept the Soul captive in the Turba with the Fire and though he had not the Spirit of the Soul yet he had the Root of it in the Turba but then he was commanded to cease While the earthly man liveth the Soul is continually in hazard or danger for the Devil hath enmity with who continually casteth forth his streams with false and wicked Imaginations into the Stary and Elementary Spirit and reacheth or graspeth therewith after the Soul's fire and willeth continually to infect the same with earthly Devils longing and malady There must the noble Image defend it self against the Souls fire and there it costeth striving and fighting sor the Angels Garland there riseth up often in the old Adam anguish doubting and unbelief when the Devil sets upon the Soul. O thou Cross of Christ how heavy art thou often times how doth the Hèaven hide it self but so the noble Grain is sown when that is sprung up then it brings forth much fair Fruit in Patience Thus every little Sprout groweth in the Soul out of the divine Wisdom It must all press forth out of the Anguish-Chamber as a Sprout out of the Root of a Tree it is all generated in the Anguish If a man will have divine knowledge he must very many times go into the A●…gitish-Chamber into the centre for every Sparkle of the divine Wi●… Skill or Understanding out of God's wisdom must become generated out of the centre of Nature else it is not perminent or eternal Thus we must aell dye in Christ's Death if we will possess his Glory God and Man is become one Person one Christ one God one holy Trinity in the Humanity and also in like mann●… every where so that when we see Christ we see the holy Trinity in one only Image He is not strange or tyrable to us but is our Love. Tincture he is with his Power the quickning of our Soul●… our Life and our Souls delightful Habitation When we find him we find our Help or Salvation as in like manner A●…am should have found him but he suffer●… himself to be seduced and found at length a Woman Then said he She 〈◊〉 Flesh of my Flesh and Bone of my Bo●… and took her unto him for a Companion So when our Soul findeth him it saith That is my Virgin which I had lost in Adam when an earthly Woman came to be out of it I have now again found my Love-Virgin out of my Love I will never more let it go from me again O! it is a friendly qualifying or co-working Beauty Brightness Fruit Power V●…rtue For in thè Wisdom the Fall was known e'er man became a Creature and that according to the ●…ire's property not according to the Light 's property but according to the first Principle And we say of Mary that before the time of the opening and message of the Angel she was such a Virgin 〈◊〉 Eve was when she went out of Paradise e'er Adam knew her Of Metals and of the Metaline Tincture and Philos●… Stone THe Metals have the same ●…bstance condition 〈◊〉 birth or geniture as the Vegetab●… upon 〈◊〉 Earth have in Earth in Stones and Metals there is ●…-fold Essence viz. one from the original of the fire dark World and 〈◊〉 of the original of the holy lig●… World.

Heaven and Hell ●…ight and Darkness Good and Evil Love and Anger c. Also the words Tincture and Turba explained FVery Creature must know that it should continue in that condition wherein it was created or el●…e it ●…oth run on in a contrary will and into enmity to the Will of God and bringeth it self into pain For a Creature which is created of darkness hath no pain in the darkness as a venomous Worm hath no pain in its Venom the Venom is its Life and if it should lose its venom and have some good thing instead thereof brought into it and be made manifest in its Essence this would be pain and death to it and so also the evil is pain and death to the good Man was created of for and in Paradise of for and in the Love of God but if he bring himself into anger which is as a poysonous pain and death then that contrary life is a pain and torment to him If the Devil had been created of the wrathful Matrix ●…or and in Hell and had not had the divine Ens he could have no pain in Hell but he being created for and in Heaven and yet did stir up the source and property of Darkness in himself and did bring himself totally into Darkness therefore the Light is now a pain to him viz an everlasting dispairing of God's gráce and a continual enmity being God cannot endure him in him clf but hath spewed him out and therefore the Devil is angry and wrathful against his own Mother of whose ●…ssence and Beeing he ha●…h his original viz. the eternal Nature which keepeth him prisoner in his own place a a revolter or fallen Spi●…it and supporteth it self in h●…m with its property of Anger and Wrath. And seeing he would not help forward the delight of the divine Joy therefore he must now do the contrary and be an enemy against all ●…oodness ●…or of God and in him are all things Darkness and Light Love and Anger ●…ire and Light but he calleth himself God only as to the Light of his Love. There is an eternal contrariety between Darkness and Light neither of them comprehendeth the other and neither of them is the other yet there is but one only Essence Beeing or Substance wherein they subsist but there is a difference in Quality and Will and ●…et the ●…ssence is not divided but a Principle maketh the division so that the one is a nothing in the other and ●…et it is there 〈◊〉 For the Devil continueth in his own dominion or principality but not in that wherein God created him but in the property of Wrath in the property which be getteth Darkness Anguish and Pain Indeed he is 〈◊〉 Prince of this world yet in the first Principle in the Kingdom of Darkne●…s in the Pit. B●… not in the Kingdom of the Sun Stars and Elements he is no lord or prince therein but in the wrathful part thereof viz. in the root of the Evil of every thing and yet he hath no power to do what he pleaseth with it For there is some good in all things which holdeth the evil captive and shut up in the thing there he can walk and rule only in the evil when it stirreth up an evil desire in it self and bringeth it desire into wickedness which the inanimate Creatures cannot do but man can do it through the inanimate Creature if he bring the centre of his Will with the Desire out of the eternal centre into it which is an Enchantment and false Magick The will of the Devil can also enter into that whereinto man bringeth the desire of his Soul which is also from the eternal in wickedness For the original of the Soul and of Angels out o●… the Eternal is the same But the Devil hath no power more over the time or temporary condition of this world but in the great Turba wheresoever that kindleth it self in the eternal and natural wrath there he is busie as in Wars Fighting and Strife as also in great Tempests without Water In the Fire he proceedeth as far as the Turba goeth in great Showers and Tempests of Thunder Lightning and Hail but he cannot direct them for he is not Lord or Master in them but Servant Thus the Creature stirreth up with the desire good and evil life and death The human angelical Desire standeth in the centre of the eternal Nature which is without beginning and wherein it kindleth it self whe●…her in good or evil it accomplisheth its work in that Now God created every thing for and in that wherein it should b●… the Angels for and in Heaven and Man for and in Paradise If therefore the desire of the Creature go forth from its own Mother then it entreth into the contrary Will and into Enmity and it is tormented with the contrariety therein and so a false will ariseth in a good and thence the good will entreth into its nothing again viz. into the end of Nature and Creature and so leaveth the Creature in its own evil or wickedness as appeared by Lucifer and also by Adam and had not the will of the Love of God met with him and of meer mercy entred into the Humanity again there could be no good will in man. Therefore all speculation and searching about God's will is a vain thing without the mind be converted ●…or when the mind standeth captivated in the self-desire of the earthly Life it cannot comprehend what the will of God is it runneth on but in self from one way to another and yet findeth no rest for self-desire evermore bringeth disquietness The Light shineth in Darkness and the Darkness comprehendeth not the Light and yet they both dwell in one another The four Elements is also an example of this which in their original are but one Element which is neither hot cold dry nor moist and yet by its stirring severeth it self into four Properties viz. into Fire Air Water and Earth Who would believe that Fire produceth VVater and that the original of Fire could be in VVater if we did not see it with our Eyes in tempests of Thundring Lightning and Rain And did not find also that in living Creatures the essential Fire in the body dwelleth in the Blood and that the Blood is the Mother of
