of the Essences 83. I give you a similitude of this in the spirit and life of Man you see the Body which is in it selfe a dark or opake thing voyd of understanding it hath indeed the Essences but from the opening of the Spirit which openeth the Essences and bringeth them to the will or else the body would be dead still and senslesse 84. So you see also that the Spirit is not the Body but it hath a Government of its own and when it departeth from the body the body perisheth for the Essences or the flowing faculties remaine in the dark Death and there is no understanding for it is the Spirit which openeth the thoughts and bringeth them forth out of the Essences 85. And you see moreover that the Spirit is not the light it selfe for the light hath its originall in the Tincture which is the blossome of the Fire but the Spirit is the blower up the Fire as you see by the Aire which bloweth up the Humane Fire and wee may understand it well enough 〈◊〉 our selves if wee doe but open and know our selves by our spirit which shall here-following be shewed us 86. Understand us heere rightly concerning the number Three or Trinity of the Deity wee meane but one God in three Persons of one Essence and Will But wee give you to understand concerning the Ternary that there are Three Centres therein which are knowne in the Eternall Nature but are not knowne without or beyond Nature for without the Nature the Deity is called Majesty But in Nature it is called Father Sonne and Holy Spirit Wonder Counsell Power 87. For whatsoever is without Nature could not helpe mee I could not in Eternity either see feele or finde it because I am in Nature and generated from it 88. But because the Majesty hath generated the Nature and so hath manifested it selfe therein in Three Persons therefore I rejoyce in that manifestation as being a Creature inhabiting therein in Eternity 89. And seeing then that I am generated out of the Nature of God therefore is it my Mother and the food of my soule and my soule is the food of God for I am his praise and glory which he receiveth from my spirit for my soule openeth his wonders through his working and so is a joy o In the Holy Ternary or Trinity in Ternario sancto 90. I speake not onely of my selfe but of all men and Creatures wherein his wonders stand open both in his love and anger For the Devills themselves stand in the Wonders of God for they open the Seales of the Anger and all standeth to the Joy and Glory of God The Fift Chapter Of the precious and most Noble Virgin the Wisdome of God and of the Angelicall World The two Gates in Ternarium Sanctum highly to be Considered 1 THou Sophister I know thou wilt accuse mee of Pride because I being a meane simple man in this world soar 〈◊〉 high into the Deepe But it is said that you looke onely upon the wisdome of this world I doe not esteeme or care for it For it affords me no joy at all but I rejoyce at this that my soule moveth in the Wonders to the praise of God so that I know his wondrous works in which my soule delighteth as in its Mother Now every Spirit speaketh of its own Mother whose food it eateth and in whose source or property it liveth 2. Now since I know the Wonders shall I be silent Am I not borne to it as also all the Creatures that they should open the Wonders of God Therefore now I labour in my employment and another in his and thou proud Sophister in thine 3. Wee stand all in Gods field and wee grow to Gods glory and to his works of wonder as well the wicked as the * Pious or godly vertuous but every fruit groweth in its own property when the Mower shall cut it downe then every fruit shall come into its own Barne and every property receiveth that which is its own and then the field in its Essences out of which wee are growne shall be manifested for there are two Centres in the Eternity and each Centre shall bring in its own Crop 4. Therefore consider O Man what you judge that you fall not upon the sword of the Spirit of God and that your work be not p Or Kindled blowne up in the Fire of Wrath for looke upon the Image in the Revelation which beareth the sword in its Mouth surely it signifieth the Spirit of God concerning which Christ said When he cometh he shall reprove the world of sinnes of righteousnesse and of judgement 5. Of Sinnes because they live in hypocrisie and are not obedient to the Spirit of God nor beleeved in him that he might manifest heavenly wonders in them but they continue under the wrath in the first Centre and will not be regenerated and doe open or manifest no other wonders but such as are in the Wrath in meere hypocrisie 6. And of Righteousnesse Christ saith Because I goe to the Father He hath destroyed Death and opened the heavenly Gate for the soule and is gone againe to his Father and hath called us to him but the dissembling hypocrite will not come he taketh more delight in his pride therefore the Spirit reproveth him and rebuketh him to his face and layeth all his false wayes open to the light that he might see and beware 7. But he striketh downe the Wonders of the Reproofe to the Ground till the Spirit reprove him of Judgement because the Prince of this world who held men captive is judged And thou Sophister runnest on wittingly for thy own profit transitory voluptuousnesse and honours sake to the Devill and canst not see the open Gate which the Spirit sheweth thee therefore he reproveth thee and sheweth it to thy face 8. And if you will not for all that then it is as was said Wee have piped unto you but you have not danced wee have called you but you are not come to us I have been hungry after you but you have not fed mee you are not growne in my Garden of Roses therefore you are none of my food your heart hath not been found in my praise â—â—erefore you are not my food And this Bridegroome passeth by and then cometh the other and gathereth what he findeth into his Barne you should consider that Further Information touching the holy Trinity 9. Now since wee speake of the Holy Trinity as of one onely God in one onely Essence therefore wee say that the Holy Spirit goeth forth from the Father and the Sonne And seeing God is every where and himselfe filleth all things in the whole Deep theâ—efore the minde asketh Whither doth the Spirit goe forth seeing it is in the mouth of God and also remaineth only in God as a spirit in a body 10. Heere see Apocalyps the fourth there appeareth before the Throne of the Auncient of Dayes a glassie Sea wherein standeth
outward body is in the g In the outward secret hiddennesse Mysterium and the Inward body in the h In the inward secret hiddennesse Arcanum an heavenly Mysterie and so he liveth in two Mysteries being invisible and incomprehensible to the outward world and thus we give you to understand that Paradise is yet present and unperished though seeming to be as it were devoured by the curse of God and it lyeth yet as a Mysterie in the curse uncorrupt 15. For we are able to say with good ground in Truth that Paradise is still upon the Earth yet we are not in it but Enoch is in it and yet he hath the body of the Turba in the Mysterie and in the Heavenly i Mysterie he hath the Divine body Or Arcanum a Paradisicall Body which is capable of Paradise and thus he is as a Wonder and is a Prophet in the Crowne at the k Or End Limit of the Wonders 16. For you know that the Scripture saith that after he had begotten Methusalah viz. the Man of the greatest Age he continued afterward in a Divine Life and this hath a deep meaning 17. Methusalah signifieth the end of the Wonders of this world and Enoch remaining in his Divine Life three hundred yeares after the birth of Methusalah signifieth the manifestation of the Wonders and a plaine Ministery viz. a preaching of Righteousnesse whereby the Turba of every one shall be shewen him and the End of the Wonders of this world shall be declared viz. the vengeance of God and his Reward to the good 18. And the time after Enoch wherein Methusalah lived to the l Viz. the end of an Age or Seculum Number of the Crowne when Enoch and his preaching was taken up doth signifie that the Enochian Light which shined in his time will enter againe into its Principle and seeke out the Earthly body which Enoch had and will finde that the Turba is in it still and then there will be no further seeking for the Turba is found in the Limit and worketh to the Fire and Judgement 19. And thus the end of the world is as the dregs and it worketh in the Turba to the blowing up of the Fire and the Judgement for the outward world was produced out of the Turba and tooke its beginning in the Turba and the Turba is its propriety thus the beginning seeketh the end againe in the wrath 20. And as this world was corporeall in the wrath so the Spirit will have the beginning at the end againe in the wrath for the Beginning and the End is one also you plainely perceive that in the Beginning the Turba devoured Adam and brought him into the Anger and murthered Abel 21. Therefore O ye Elect let none of you desire to live to the end of the time after Enochs taking up but behold when Enoch preacheth then the Sunne shineth and then goe out from Babell it is a golden time but your Turba is the cause that Enoch shall be taken up 22. Enoch is not gone out of this world he is entred into the m Repository Mysterie in the Wonders for he is Gods Preacher and after the Turba hath overcome the world he must be silent till the six Seales have ended their Wonders and till the Angels of the Turba have poured out their Viols then the n Or workes Wonders of the Anger are finished 23. Then Enoch commeth out of the Mysterie againe and entreth into the o Ministerium or Office of teaching or preaching Ministry and relateth what hath been done and punisheth the world because of the p Malice or wickednesse Turba for suffering q Or sinnes Abominations to enter into them without resisting 24. And after that the world is fat and wanton in the golden yeares and r Or becommeth seeketh Sodome and Gomorrah againe then also its Turba will become fat and wanton and seeke the wrath and the Limit then the golden dayes are done and will be devoured by the Turba and then Methusalah the oldest man dyeth and instantly the Deluge of Fire approacheth consider it for it will be in earnest 25. We doe not say that you shall feele Enoch with your Hands no! Enoch did not preach from the Spirit of the Earthly Life but from that which was a Prophet which brought the outward man into the Principle and so you shall not feele the outward Enoch but you shall heare the Prophet which speaketh from Enoch from the Mysterie 26. Babell doth mock and scorne at this and contemneth Å¿ Or Prophesie Enoch for a while and then Enoch calleth t Preaching or Teaching Noah but they call him old foole for preaching so of the downefall of Babell 27. But Noah goeth into the other world through the u Simplicity or humility water and calleth x Or Miracles Moses with his Wonders and he commeth for he hath the Wonders of God! 28. For he is passed through Death and brought his body through Death when the Turba desired to consume it and the Devill contended for it and would have the y Corruption or transitorinesse Turba which was in Moses because he had been an angry man and carried the z Or destroyer Turba in him 29. But it was old the Devill that the Turba in the Fire did not belong to him for it belonged to the Majesty of God and contained the Wonders and the Turba in the Darknesse of the wrath onely belonged to him who is without the City he must not dwell in the City in the Principle but without it 30. For God did not create him a Or for in the Fire let him remaine therefore in his owne awakened Fire-Life he hath nothing to doe with Moses his body for his Wonders in the Anger belong not to his b The Devill Turba he is a very out-cast a castaway 31. Also Moses his body is passed through Death his unfadable Body which had the Wonders hath swallowed up that which was Earthly in the Turba and yet not consumed it to putrefaction but it also is in the Mysterie and his c Anger sharpnesse or severity Turba which killed the first-borne in Egypt drowned Pharaoh in the water slew them that worshipped the Calfe and swallowed up Corah Dathan and Abiram into the Earth continued in d Moses death Death 32. For when he dyed then his Spirit and soule departed e Or from the Anger and severity and passed into Innocency and so was but an Instrument of Gods Anger in true Resignation and not in selfehood from the Turba and he remained in the Wonders in the Mystery 33. And now he is become a Lamb and putteth his workes amongst the goods of Isaack and Sem as a Mystery of God in his deeds of Wonder but the house is Isaacks and all dwell in the Tents of Sem in his Kingdome take notice of this both Jewes and Christians 34 Now therefore seeing Moses
stuck into the soule and did leade the poore soule out of Death and out of Hell n In by or through in himselfe 68. And heere wee see that after the Word did become Man that Man suffered himselfe to be hanged on the Crosse and entred into Death on the Crosse understand heere the New Living Man borne of God went into the Abysse and brake Death in the soule and opened the Centre of the soule Hee brake all the seaven Seales of the Centre of Nature so that the soule came to have its owne power againe for he kindled the Divine fire in the soule againe so that the soule did againe reach the Eternall Tincture out of its own fire 69. And thus it came againe into its first Mother in power and Majesty and the Old Adam hung to the Crosse as Curse to the scorne of all Devills there they might doe so far as they could with it as indeed they were busie with the Sophisters and Antichrists the Pharisees 70. There the Devills ran with other suttlety and Tricks into o Corners and secret places holes and did hide cover and conceale the Resurrection through the Ministers of the Dragon the Pharisees which yet pretend to be the Ministers of God but they served the Devill in his lyes as is done now adayes where the Death and power of Christ is closed up and denyed 71. This hanging on the Crosse is nothing else but that as the soule hath its originall upon the Crosse in the Centre of Nature out of the Word of the Lord ex verbo Domini where the Name of the Number Three standeth There hath the Word of the Father moved it selfe and is entred into the Humanity as is heeretofore mentioned concerning the Virgin and is become Man on the Crosse in the Eternall and in the Earthly Virgin and hath been made a spectacle on the Crosse to the Old Adamicall Man and all Devills and their lofty Pride and hath slaine Death on the Crosse and thereby broken through it and so brought the Adamicall Man with flesh and bloud as a spectacle into Death and hath cast away from him all Earthlinesse and brought him powerfully through Death into Life 72. Thus he is new Borne in God and sitteth upon the Rainbow on the Substantiality and Colours of the Eternity in the power of the Majesty and is a Lord of Heaven and of this world and a Judge of Hell and a p Or Power Conquest over Death 73. Of this you have a true Gound yee that are Regenerated in Christ that as Christ brought his body both the Heavenly and the Earthly which he received in his Mother Mary out from Death againe and did cast away from him nothing else but the Earthly source or property viz. the Spirit of this outward world 74. So also must our Bodies in the power of the soules that are in him that is in his Word and Heart which is every where come forth againe at the Last Judgement Day and cast away no more from it but this source and spirit of the outward World for none rise againe in the entire corrupt Body but in the flesh and bloud of Christ 75. But the corrupted Spirit which remaineth in the Earthly Matrix in its Tincture must appeare before the Judgement of God at the End of Dayes and there shall the sentence and Judgement of the Judge Christ be pronounced and then after the pronouncing all goeth into the q Receptacle or Devourer Ether and then the Spirit of God which Created the World will execute that sentence 76. But that I may not meete with false Interpretours that may mistake his Text as the Spirit sheweth mee therefore you must know that when the soule is Borne anew in the Word and in the Spirit of Christ in this life Time then also the first Substantiality viz. the inward Body of the soule which Adam had in Paradise out of the Eternall Virgin wherein he was created Man becometh new borne and getteth the flesh of Christ 77. This new Body in which the New Regenerate soule sticketh sticketh in the old corrupt flesh and is incomprehensible and immortall But the Old Man which is conceived from the Spirit of this World must perish in the Earth it goeth into its Mother who must bring it fortb and present it at the Last Judgement day but after the Sentence of Christ it goeth into the Ether and is only as a Figure r For or before to the Eternall New Man for in that Figure all a Mans works follow him 78. So also they that be alive at the houre of the last Judgement the Old man will fall away from them with the perishing of the World and passe into the Ether For all the Bodies of the wicked shall be presented there in the Mother viz. in the Spirit of this world and the soules shall heare the Sentence and their Bodies also passe away with the Mother and stand as a Figure and their Works follow them into the Abysse The Ninth Chapter Concerning the Threefold Life Also of the Å¿ Driving or Impulsion Inclination and whole Government of Man in this World Highly to be Considered 1. IT is shewen to mee what the Devills intention is how he will endeavour to smother these High and precious Writings therefore be watchfull yee children of God beleeve not the Sophisters too much who cry out Heretick Heretick to the fire with them That is not the voyce of the Holy Ghost but the voyce of the Antichrist and of the Dragon for these Writings will exceedingly discover the Devills smoaking Pit and not onely so but they shew also the Whore of Babell very plainly like a whore t Am Pranger put to open shame 2. But because the Men of the Spirit of this world take care only for their Belly and are loath to loose their honour credit reputation and Goods but had rather part with God and the Kingdome of Heaven wee shall be persecuted by the Whore through the Instigation of the Devill therefore be watchfull yee children of God and looke not upon that which is high and hath great authority but regard the wellfare of your soules This wee leave you for the last farewell 3. Christ saith None kindleth a light and setteth it under a cover or under a Bushell but setteth it upon a Table that all that are in the house may see by the light thereof Thus must wee doe also and must not bury our Talent which is so dearly bestowed upon us in the Earth for wee must give an account thereof at the Day of the Judgement of God as the Spirit of the Mother intimateth to us 4. If this knowledge or understanding of this Spirit shall happen to fall upon any they will be then certain what it is u Which is here written Wee need no Letters of Commendation Christ is our Letter of Commendation which is sufficient for us None ought to call themselves after my
through the Turba viz. through the Anger of God and quite through Death and when it is through then it is in Gods m Or substance Essence 3. It remaineth in its n Deedes and wonders and Essences which it wrought here It beholdeth the Majesty of God and the Angels face to faâ—e 4. Wheresoever it is it is in the Abyssall world where there is no End nor Limit whither should it goe where the carkasse is there the Eagles gather together It is in Christs flesh and Bloud with Christ its Shepheard 5. Though it should goe a thousand miles off yet it were then in the same place from whence it went for in God there is no Limit neere and farre off is all one 6. It is as swift as a Thought it is Magicall it dwelleth in its Wonders they are its House 7. The Essentiality that is without it is Paradise a springing blossoming and growing of all manner of faire heavenly fruits just as we have all kinds of fruit here in this world which we eate after an Earthly manner so also there are all manner of fruits in Paradise which the soule may eate they have colours and vertues in the substance and not like a thought though they be as thin and subtile as a Thought but substantiall comprehensible and palpable to the soule virtuall and sappy with the water of Life and all this from the heavenly substantiality 8. For the heavenly body of the soule is from the pure Element whence the foure Elements are brought forth and that giveth flesh and the Tincture giveth bloud the heavenly man hath flesh and bloud and Paradise is the Power of the substantiality it is heavenly Earth incomprehensible to our outward Reason 9. But wee will againe teach you another A. B. C. All in this world have not Christs flesh in them hidden in the Old Adam yea among very many not one but the Regenerate who are departed from their owne will into Gods will in whom the Noble Graine of Mustard-seed is sowne out of which a Tree is growne 10. Most soules depart from the body without Christs body yet they hang as by a o The small threed of Faith threed and are at last in their Faith gotten into the will these soules indeed are in the Image in the Spirit but not in Flesh 11. Such as these waite for the last Day when the Image viz. the Body shall come forth out of the Grave out of the first Image for God will raise it up by the voyce of Christ even that Image which Adam had in his Innocency which hath been washed with Christs Bloud 12. But the Earthly Body shall not touch it that must come before the Judgement in the Turba but after the Sentence of the Judgement the Turba shall swallow it up and the p Or workes Wonders of it shall onely remaine 13. You must understand us aright These soules that must waite till the the last Day for their Bodies they remaine with their bodies in the still Rest till the last day without feeling any q Or Source paine but in another Principle 14. They have neither Darknesse nor Majesty in the Earth but are at rest without paine in the Eternall still Liberty without touching of the Body 15. Yet they see their r Or workes Wonders but they effect nothing in them for they expect God and are in Humility fot they are sunke downe through Death and are in another world yet there is a great Å¿ Gulfe or distance Space between them and the holy soules that are in Christs flesh and Bloud but not a Principle they are in one and the same Principle 16. But a Spirit without a body hath not that t Or Power might which the Spirit in the body hath therefore they rest and are under the Altar of God 17. When the last Day shall come then shall they come forth and eat of the Bread of God and put on the Divine Body as is mentioned in the Revelations of John Rev. 6.9 10 11. where the soules under the Altar cloathed in White say Lord when wilt thou avenge our Bloud and it was answered them that they should rest a little while till their brethren were accomplished which should be killed for the witnesse of Jesus 18. But the soules of the wicked have another place viz. in the most u the innermost in the utter Darknesse innermost which also is the most uttermost of all Darknesse they dare not goe up and downe they remaine meerely with the body in their x Esseâ—ce of workes substance yet not in this world neither doe they touch the Earth 19. It hath indeed power enough over the Earth it can open it without y Essence and feeling substance and perceptibility But it hath not the outward Principle it hath not power enough over the outward Spirit yet it can for a time make z Shew jugling tricks Apparitions in the a Or Spirit of the Aire fydereall Spirit 20. As many appeare againe in the Astrall Spirit and seeke b Or Rest Abstinence and make many afraid with keeping a racket in houses all which they doe by the Astrall Spirit till that be consumed and then their c Or Pompe and shew trickes lie in the Darknesse and they expect the last Judgement 21. Our Babell sath it is the Devill which goeth up and downe in the shape of the soule indeed the damned soule hath enough of the Devill but it is not the very Devill he is in the Abysse and tormenteth the soule in the time of the body willingly in the Abysse of the soule 22. Neither doth he altogether want a cloake for his knavery for he can put on an outward cloake to seduce or terrifie men in 23. But this complaint we have against Babell that she is so extreme blinde and hath so little knowledge of God she hath cast away Magick and Philosophie and received the Antichrist now she hath lost her understanding she hath a kinde of Art still but her understanding quite faileth her she hath broken the Glasse and peereth through the holes of the Spectacles 24. What shall we say The world is blind-folded it is led by a string and taken captive and it seeth it not yet it were at liberty if it did but see it once the snare wherewith it is bound is malicious Knavery thou shalt soone be made to see It is broad day-light doe but awake thou Keeper of Israell 25. Thus my beloved friend know that there is a difference of Places where soules are according to that whereinto the soule is entred if it be Holy and Regenerate then it hath a d The body of Christ Body which expecteth onely the e Or workes Wonders of the body at the last Day it hath f Conceived or formed comprehended them already in the Will but at the Day of Judgement it must stand before the Judgement 26. All soules
disgrace which was put upon them that were innocent is a great Triumphant Glory to them in that they have suffered in Innocency and put on Patience in Hope which they have still on Death cannot take it away nor put it off but the soule taketh that with it which it hath z Or wrought conceived 17. It s many hearty Prayers wishes and good deedes in love to its Neighbour are its food which it eareth and joyfully enjoyeth till its New Body shall eate Paradisicall fruit 18. But they which have put on the Divine Body here they eate at Gods Table without ceasing yet the Paradisicall fruit belongeth to the body of the Wonders which shall arise out of the Grave and which was created in Paradise for it was made out of the Beginning and it bringeth the End with the a Or workes Wonders into the Beginning againe 19. But wonder not nor thinke that we understand it so though we seeme to speake of two bodies of the Holyest Saints for they are not two but one But consider that Gods Essentiality filleth all and that is the Divine Body which is put upon the. b The great Holy soules Holy soules even in this life 20. For they cast their will into Gods will and so they receive the Divine Body which filleth all things their will dwelleth in the Divine Body and eateth of Gods Word of Gods fruit of Gods c Or Power vertue in the Divine Body and Christ is in God God is become Christ 21. And so they d Or are clothed with weare Christs Body in God and yet waite for their first Adamicall holy Body with the e Viz. The workes and deedes which were done by the Elementâ—ry Body during the whole l fe Wonders which shall be put upon them with Paradisicall f Or quality property 22. For Gods purpose must stand he created the first Body g Or in for Paradise it should have continued there Eternally and it must goe thither againe and the soule must remaine upon the Crosse of the Ternary in the Mouth of God whence it came and yet the whole Person continueth with Body and soule in one another but God filleth All in All. 23. O! that we had but a humane Pen and were able to write it in the Spirit of your soule according to our knowledge O! how many would then returne out of Sodome and Gomorrah out of Babell out of the Covetous proud vale of Misery which notwithstanding is but Anguish and paine full of feare vexation and horrour 24. And here we shall let you know that you may deeply consider it what is the lamentable and miserable condition of the damned soules and what they have to expect and but briefly seeing the following Question doth it at large 25. Their expectation is like that of an imprisoned Malefactour who continually listneth when any thing stirreth when the Executioner should come and execute Judgement and give him his Reward just so doe they 26. They have a false Conscience which gnaweth them their sins are set continually before them they also see their workes Magically they see all their unrighteousnesse and vanities their unmeasurable pride and haughtinesse they see the oppression of the poore their scorning and suppression of them 27. Their false beliefe flieth from them their Hypocrisie was only a deceitfull Glasse it reached not the Heart of God it standeth visibly before them in the Magick viz. in their will but when they search therein they stirre up the Turba of the Fire which will alwayes consume the Glasse and then they are in feare and horrour 28. For they see and know that all must be tried at the last Day by the Eternall fire of Gods Anger and they feele very well that their workes will stay in the Fire 29. The Devills also exceedingly Tremble when they consider their fall which rests in Gods Judgement what he will doe of which the Holy Scripture telleth us plainely enough especially the Judge Christ himselfe 30. Thus know that the totally miserable condition of the damned is that when they should trim their Lamps to meete their Bridegrome at his comming they tremble and smother all their workes which the Turba neverthelesse sets before their Eyes 31. But now those soules which are damned in a high degree are very presumptuously bold they reject God and curse him and are his h Most malicious worst Enemies 32. They hold their cause to be just they oppose God with daring impudency and thinke is there fire so are wee fire is there i Rising boyling properties source then wee will climbe up above God and Heaven in the source of the fire what care wee for humility wee will have the strength and might of the fire we will be above God and doe Wonders by our Power 33. Wee have the Roote God hath but the Glance let us be Lords God shall be servant our k The wrath of the Eternall Nature Mother is his life wee will overthrow his strong Tower at once 34. They have the minde of Souldiers that scale Forts and walls and thinke the Citie is theirs though indeed they loose their lives and never get it 35. You must understand that Hell is against Heaven and the Inhabitants thereof against the Inhabitants of Heaven and this in God is also a great Wonder all maketh for his Glory The three and twentieth Question Whether doe the Soules of the wicked without difference for so long a time before the Day of Judgement feele any ease or Refreshment 1. A Thing which goeth into an Eternall Entrance is also in the Eternall End who can put any thing into his hand that is a far off and not present where it is to be done he must give it onely into his hand that is by to receive it And that thing which with its will is gone forth out of it selfe can receive nothing within it selfe because it desirerh nothing within it selfe 2. Thus it is with the wicked in this world he is gone with his will out of himselfe into Covetousnesse Pride and pleasure into vices gormandizing tipling and whoring also into Gluttony his will is continually bent to dispise the poore in scorne and disgrace to plague the poore and to tread him downe by Authority 3. He hath corrupted Judgement with lies and bribes and continually swallowed downe unrighteousnesse as a Cow drinketh water all that hath come from him hath been l Or cruell bitter Anger which he prosecuted as farre as his power would reach his will hath been meere wilfulnesse he hath done what he listed he hath danced after the Devills owne Pipe and hath wholly entred into Covetousnesse he hath accounted his money and meanes his Treasure and his will hath continually entred into it 4. He hath never retired into himselfe and sought after Love much lesse humility he hath esteemed the needy as his footstoole he hath crushed him under without measure he hath counted it his
They have their joy in their abominations and their chiefest joy is to scorne God in that they are fiery Spirits and God a Spirit of Light 4. Their boast is alwayes of their strong fiery might they are as a Dragon that spitteth fire they seeke destruction and finde abominations 5. They have also fruit growing out of their own Principle as the abominations of their wills are 6. They have a sort like such as play with fireworkes as Rockets and Balls of fire also spitting fire out of their mouthes k Jesting jeering scoffing and deriding in strange Apish gestures of face and body fooling tumbling and jugling is their passe-time though indeed there is no time nor no feare of any other Torment after the last Judgement Day but their whole life is a continuall feare horrour terrour and Lamentation every one hath his worke which he did here while he lived in the Figure which awakeneth the Turba there and so he rideth in the Fire 7. The soule hath no feeling of it because it selfe is Fire but the Turba doth plague it with those Abominations which it introduced there is an Eternall despairing in them and therefore they are Gods Enemies 8. To blaspheme God is their chiefest Power they devoure Hellish brimstone and Abominations for their fruits are a kinde of stuffe that is outwardly faire but inwardly meere l Strong Abominations malice or wickednesse wrathfulnesse such Hypocrites as they have been upon Earth such bread doth their Heaven afford them to eate 9. They are at Liberty and not shut up at all they may descend as deep as they will for the Abysse and darknesse is every where and yet they are but in their first place the deeper they desire to throw themselves the deeper they fall and yet they finde no end or bottome 10. Their m Their time not the time of Man number is not the number of any humane time their n Refocillation breath is a meere stinke of Fire and Brimstone when they consider themselves in their Abominations that they were once Angels and now Devills then presently the gnawing worme ariseth which biteth and tormenteth them 11. To what end should their wickednesses be described they are evill uncleane Beasts that which they practised on Earth that followeth them and that they desire to doe there also they drinke downe abomination and wickednesse without measure 12. Their o Or Dominion Government is no way better to be knowne then in the Antichristian p Or Beast horse and scornefull men who rave with cursing and blaspheming yet this is but a q Shadow or Resemblance Glasse of the hellish Abominations we will not mention them any further for they are not worth the speaking of The five and thirtieth Question What is the Enochian Life and how long is it to continue 1. THis is also above humane Reason no outward Reason can comprehend it but seeing r The Enochian life is brought forth it is borne it must be made manifest For there are such Mysteries couched in it as the world is not able to conceive neither ought we to mention them all for they have their Å¿ Bounds or appointed time limit how farre they shall be mentioned for in t Time or Age. this u Or Wonders Miracles are yet to be done upon the Earth for which cause our speech is taken away and we must hold our peace in silence 2. Indeed we may declare what kinde of life it is or whether Enoch is gone as also Elias and Moses it is no Fiction we declare onely what is given us here wee must not mention any further we must not be believe Reason for it is a foole herein 3. But we may well speake something of it for the time is x Or come borne for y Or prophesie Enoch to speake and z Or the Sword Elias to worke againe which Babell shall finde by experience for Moses hath a Or Beames or Rayes which with their light shall contend with darkenesse hornes and yet he is a patient Lamb. 4. O how wilt thou rejoyce if thou dost get into Moses his Flock for he hath a good Message Rejoyce O heaven and skip for joy O Earth for Enoch is in the Field and keepeth his Flock 5. What doth Elias desire for he is cloathed with a white Garment he was with Christ on the Mount and spake of the consummation of mans Redemption he spake also of the entring into Paradise and of the finall deliverance from b Or driver the Hunter 6. He that is borne blinde seeth nothing How can a lame man get the prize or a deafe man distinguish Languages doth not the Sunne shine daily and yet the Moale remaineth blinde shall Babell come to see we know she is a scorner and therefore she must be blinde though the Sun shine clearely to her 7. How can he hehold two worlds that alwayes liveth but in one or is it not Art and wit that hath understanding able to search out the deep Gates yet c Art and wit they passe away as a winde which bringeth forth nothing though it maketh a boasting noyse and so doth Babell 8. When we will speake of the Enochian Life we must looke into the Scripture and see who Enoch was and what life he led and then wee may soone finde where he is and what his taking up or Translation was 9. You know that the d Gen. 5.18 Scripture saith his Fathers name was e See the Mysterium magnum ch 30. ver 19 20. JARED if you understood the Language of Nature you had the whole ground already 10. And Enâ—ch begat Methusâ—lah who attained the highest age of Man and after he had begotten him he continued in a Divine Life till the Lord tooke him away into his owne Principle 11. But we must not understand it as if he were wholly perfect in the Light of the Divine Majesty and should not appeare at the day of Judgement Indeed he is in God without Death or want of any thing yes he is in Gods Love yet but in the birth of the Divine Principle for he had also Adams flesh 12. And you know well that the outward Kingdome with the Earthly flesh belongeth to the Turba and although it be cleare that he had the body of the Wonders of God in the outward body in which Divine body of the Wonders he was taken away into the Mystery so that the outward body was as it were swallowed up by the Mysterie 13. Yet now the Mysterie must give up all whatever it hath devoured as you know that at the end the outward body must appeare with all its f Substance or Essences workes before the Judgement and thus the Turba is in the outward body with the Wonders which shall be made manifest and tryed in the Fire 14. Now then if Enoch be thus taken up both body and soule with both the bodies then the
