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

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

it ca●… not be done Thus you may understand what the Soul Spirit Image ●…nd Turba are the Soul dwelleth in it self and is an essential Fire and its image standeth in it self in the ●…magination in the light of the Soul if it cleave to God if not then it is an Anxiety in the wrath of darkness and is an abominable Image or an image of the Devil The Turbae of the Soul which destroyeth the divine Image is the essential wrathfulness and s caused by the imagination or false love and representation and therefore all lieth in the Imagination the Image consisteth in that which we suffer to come into our desire If the will of the Soul change it self then its form will 〈◊〉 also ●…hanged For if the source of the Soul be fiery then it hath also a fiery Image if the Soul turn its imagination into the centre into the strong Astringency and Bitterness then its fair ●…mage is also captivated in ●…he dark Astringency and infected with astringent wrath And then this wrath is a Turbae which possesseth the Image and destroyeth the similitude of God for 〈◊〉 God there is Love Light and Meekness but in this Image there is darkness astringency and bitterness Again the Soul in its real Life and Understanding 〈◊〉 in three Kingdoms The 1st is the eternal nature viz. the potent Might of Eternity the dark fire-world according to which God calleth himself a strong zealous ●…gry God and a consuming Fire in which the Devil hath wholly plunged and diabolized himself The second is the holy light world where the eternal understanding hath displayed it self through the Fires sharpness in the light of the great fiery Love-desire ●…nd turned the wrathful Darkness and fiery Property to a Kingdom of Joy which is the true manifestation of the Deity and is called the holy Heaven of the angelical delight and bliss The third Kingdom is the outward Astral Elemental Kingdom viz●… the Air with its dominering Constellations wherein all the five outward Constellations rule viz. Superior and inferior of the four Elements out of which Constellation the five Senses take their original wherein the vegetable and reasonable Life consisteth this is the Animal or beastial Soul which ruleth over all the Creatures of this world The ●…ire-Soul must subsist in the Fire of God and be so pure as the clear refined Gold for it is the Husban●… of the noble Virgin Sophia viz. Christ●…s Humanity which is from the woman's Seed it is the ●…ire's tin●…ure and Sophia the Light 's tincture if the tincture of the ●…ire be wholly and throughly pure then its Sophi●… will be given it and so Alam receiveth again into 〈◊〉 Arms his most precious and endeared Bride which was taken from him in his Sleep and is not any longer Man or Woman but a Branch on Christ's Pearl-Tree which standeth in the Paradise of God. To the description whereof we need an Angels tong●… and yet we are understood well enough by our School●… fellows we have not written this for Swine Of the Eternal Predistination and Election of God. WHen the Scripture speaks of God's eternal purpose or Predistination it speaketh not of a purpose or predistination that hath been long before for in God there is no beginning but there is an eternal be●…inning where the beginning and the end is all one the first is continually the last and the last first whatsoever ●…od hath begun from Eternity to foresee that he beginneth now also at this day always every moment to foresee I can say with good ground thus that if I were in my Mother's Body or Womb comprehended in his Anger●… then God hath from Etern●…ty seen me apprehended me in his Anger I were from Eternity elected in his ang●… But if I convert in Repentance so that God's love 〈◊〉 me then I am from ●…ternity foreseen out of the A●…ger into the Love for in God all is eterna●… ●…hatsoever at this day beginneth to alter in the eter●… that is from Et●…nity 〈◊〉 ●…rnity equally in the 〈◊〉 the matter ●…sists only in the Conversation of the Will. And though it standeth written that it standeth not in 〈◊〉 willing that is only concerning those that desire 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 will not go fo●…th out of their ●…ful Will 〈◊〉 keep their Sin and yet will be saved therefore it 〈◊〉 not in his willing but in this that man go 〈◊〉 ●…om Sin into God's Grace and then it lieth in the mer●…y and that God doth readily for 〈◊〉 hath promised it Therefore men should better consider the Scripture 〈◊〉 to such Terms or Expressions for it often speaketh ●…ut of the eternal Mouth which beginneth every ●…oment For when the Scripture saith he hardneth their Hearts 〈◊〉 they believe not and so come not to be saved then it ●…eaketh of those who would be saved by their own Ability and their evil Will and Life those he suffereth ●…o go on in their purpose or predistination for they will do it As also Adam did he would not be resigned into God 〈◊〉 a Child but be his own and apprehend and know Good and Evil and live in all the three Principles for 〈◊〉 went out from God's will into his own off-set purpose and God left him and then he fell down and slept And when he had eat the forbidden Fruit then God's ●…nger elected him to the damnation of Death and God's ●…ove spoke against it saying The Seed of the Woman shall 〈◊〉 or crush the Serpent's Head and that was also the ●…ternal Election and yet it was also a beginning tempo●… Election for how ●…an an Election pass upon a thing when as yet it hath no Root God's Anger hath from Eternity continually and still 〈◊〉 this very day electeth it self to be a Darkness that God's Love and Light might in the Anger become manifest or revealed Of Free-Will NOw that which is out of the Eternal as the Soul of 〈◊〉 that hath also free-will to manifest it self in 〈◊〉 Light or in the Darkness not that it hath the Light or Dar●…ness in its power but it hath ability to work in good or evil that is in the power of the Light or of the Da●…ness and 〈◊〉 which soever it wor●…th that manifesteth it self in it The might or power is God's and the Soul is his 〈◊〉 a branch in the Tree proceeded out of God's Mouth out 〈◊〉 Love and Anger all that lieth in it and is its own property who will then take away the Free-will from it being it is branch of the eternal Tree hath Love and Anger in it self For the Fire-Soul is a Root proceeded from the divine O●…nipotence and therefore it hath Free-will and nothing 〈◊〉 deprive it and therefore it may conceive either in the Fire 〈◊〉 Light. The Souls free-will is as thin as a nothing and though it ●… in its Body indeed encompassed with the something yet in 〈◊〉 or conceived something is in a false distinguis●… Essence by reason

the Fire and the fire the ●…ather of the Blood. And as God dwelleth in the world and filleth all things and yet possesseth nothing And as the fi●…e dwelleth in the water and yet poss●…sseth it not Also as the Light dwelleth in Darkness and yet possesseth not the Darkness As the Day is in the Night and the Night in the Day Time in Eternity and ●…ternity in Time so is man created according to the outward Humanity he is the Time and in the Time and the Time is the outward world and it is also the outward man. The inward man is Eternity and the spiri●…ual Time and VVorld which also consisteth of Light and Darkness viz. of the Love of God. as to the eternal Light and of the Anger of God as to the eternal Darkness which soever of these are man●…fest in him his Spirit dwelleth in that be it Light or Darkness for Light and Darkness are both in him Now if the Light be made manifest in the Darkness then the Darkness loseth its darkness and is not known or discern●…d Also on the contrary if the Darkness arise in the Light and get the upper-hand then the Light and the power thereof is extinguished this is to ●…e consi●…ered also in man. The eternal darkness of the Soul is Hell viz. an aking Source of anguish which is called the anger of God But the eternal Light in the Soul is the Kingdom of Heaven where the fiery anguish of Darkness is turned into Joy thus the Soul hath Heaven and Hell in it self Of Tincture BY the word Tincture is meant the power and virtue of Fire and Light and the stirring up or putting forth like a Bud of this virtue is called the holy and pure Element the virtue of the Sun is the Tincture of all things that grow in the visibility of the world so also the Colour is the Tincture of the Ground Christ is the Tincture of the Soul in brief the Tincture is the Life and the perflu●…nt and informing Vi●…tue by which any thing doth sub●…ist for without the Tincture that proceedeth from the Sun Gold were no Gold And so also the Image of God in the S●…l without the true Tincture the eternal Son of Righteousness were not the Image of God. Of the great Turba THe great Turba or Turba Magna is the stirred and awakned wrath of the inward ground when the foundation of Hell is made manifest in the Spirit of this world from whence great Plagues Diseases arise and it is also the awakned wrath of the outward Nature as may be seen in great tempests of Thunder and Lightning when the Fire is manifested or generated in Water In brief it is the effusion of the anger of God by which Nature is disturbed Often times the Children of God have been forced to carry the Sword of the Turba in them a great example whereof we see in Sampson and also in Joshua with his Wars and likewise in Abraham and many other Prophets how the zeal of God did enkindle it self in them that they in the Spirit of Zeal have often-times awakned the Turba Magna in the anger of God and raised great Rebukes Judgments and Plagues upon whole Countries as Moses in Egypt did with his Plagues upon the Egyptians But we must here distinguish if the Zeal of God should awaken it self in an holy man without his purposed Will and give him the Sword of God's Anger such a one desires much from those who in their own thoughts contrive and plot in the wrath and introduce the conceived or purposed Will into the Serpent's Ens and make it to Substance for that is Sin yea though the most holy man Prophet or Apostle should do it Therefore Christ so empathetically and punctually teacheth us in the new-birth Love Humility and Meekness and would that a Christian should not at all Revenge also not be Angry for he saith Whosoever is angry with his Brother is guilty of the Judgment ●…or anger is a conception in the Serpent's Ens which must be cut off by the Judgment of God from the good beeing All War howsoever blanched over and under what pretence soever taketh its original out of God's Anger It doth not belong to any true Christian born of Christ to raise the Sword of the Turba unless the zealous Spirit of God do ●…tir it up in him who often will rebuke Sin whatsoever exalts its self in the wrath about it●… own Honour and Pride and brings it self to Revenge or Blood-shed is from the Devil Earthly Dominion and Government hath its original from the fall in the Serpent's craft All War and Contention doth arise out of the nature and property of the dark world viz. from the four Elements of the Anger of God which produceth in the Creature Pride Cov●…tousness Envy and Anger these are the four Elements of the dark world wherein the Devil and all evil Creatures live and from these four Elements aris●…th ●…ar For although God bad the People of Israel drive out the 〈◊〉 and wage VVar yet the command was wholly from the angry 〈◊〉 od viz. from the ●…ire's Property for the 〈◊〉 had stirred up the VVrath and Indignation which would devour them But God so far as he is called 〈◊〉 wills not any VVar but the kingdom of Nature in Gods Anger willeth it SOund Sion sound the Praises of thy King Let 〈◊〉 well 〈◊〉 Instrument honour bring To him for Sion thou right-well dost know The Gentiles and their I●…ol-Gods must bow And bend unto thy King or br●… must be For none's like Sion's God in Majestie Then Sion's Sons your Instruments prepare With strained Strings most ex●… rare And sweetly 〈◊〉 with Mus●… 〈◊〉 most sharp Our God's renown and praise 〈◊〉 to harp Since from his Hand abundantly your Souls Have drunk Salvation up like Wine in Bowls And made you eat of Mercies numberless And clo●…'d you with Compassions in distress And let his Glory be your Meditations And his high Honour all your Contemplations For such effects will sure produc●… increase Of joy and gladness joyn'd to endless peace For how can Stones but speak With Iron Steel and Brass And Adamants but break At what is come to pass And sound in one set ●…ur Forth shouts of his renown Whose Glory and mighty Power Eternity doth crown For hath not he made Owls With Moles and Bats to sing Like as the chanting Fowls Harmonious tunes in Spring And Eagles he and she Made both to loath their Pey Two Turtle Doves to be In Shiloa's shining day And hath not he the Bear The Panther and the Lyon In substance made appear Like Lambs in holy Sion And by his Mercy rich Transformed the Serpent's ●…ing Into a virtue which From Death to Life doth bring And made of Rocks a Fountain And Stones refreshing Streams And of a Grain a Mountain And darkness Orions Beams And made of puddle-mire A limpid Pond of pleasure Where Fishes joys as Fire Ascend exceeding measure He turn'd
