A28532 The second booke, concerning the three principles of the divine essence of the eternall, dark, light, and temporary vvorld shewing what the soule, the image and the spirit of the soule are : as also what angels, heaven, and paradise are : how Adam was before the fall, in the fall, and after the fall : and what the wrath of God, sinne, death, the devils and hell are, how all things have been, now are, and how they shall be at the last / written in the German language by Jacob Behmen, aliàs Teutonicus Philosophus.; Beschreibung der drey Principien göttliches Wesens.

master_n who_o be_v god_n he_o keep_v that_o light_n and_o life_n so_o that_o it_o stand_v and_o continue_v in_o the_o eternal_a matrix_fw-la and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n
