Isai 9.2 Math 4.16 W. Muller fecit Note It is necessary for the Reader to peruse the Book of the three Principles and the Book of the threefold Life of Man also with this and then he will be able to conceive aright of the Ground in this Booke Aurora For since the time of the writing of this Booke Aurora Day-spring or Morning Rednesse the lovely Bright Day hath appeared unto the Author And all that which is too obscure here is held forth most cleerly in them which is truly a great WONDER as the Reader who loveth God will find Although the Authour indeed had written this Book only for himselfe according to the gift of Gods Spirit but knew not then the Counsel or will of God concerning it Begun the 27 of January in the yeare 1612. on the Friday after the Conversion of Paul The Preface to the Reader Reader THe Books of this Author that are already published declare sufficiently the high worth of his deepe writings But of all the benefits that doe accrue thereby it is one inestimable Excellencie of them that they helpe the Mindes of all sorts of people that will take paines to reade and to consider them in the understanding of the Holy Scriptures and that satisfactorily and convincingly without neede of having any reference to the vast Commentaries of Authours either in the Learned or Moderne Tongues and they will help Men to be able to discerne the truth in the various Expositions and Opinions of all Parties also to still the differences debates controversies disputes and contests that all may be satisfied in a Loving friendly way and so agree in one and the same Truth together And among many differences in Opinion that Spring up there is one weighty and remarkable arisen since the Light within and Christ within hath been pressed more then Ordinary one sort being judged to deny a Christ without and the other a Christ within whereas it might be considered that Christ is not divided though he be every where in all places and in all things and yet but once manifested in the likenesse of sinfull Flesh Suffering Dying Rising from the dead Ascending into Glory yet he that is not partaker of the same Christ within or is not made conformable in his soul and spirit to him in his suffering Death and Resurrection in this Life in some measure shall never be partaker with him in his glory in the Life to come But if wee Suffer with him we shall also be glorifyed with him at his appearing Pauls desire to know nothing but Christ and him crucified among the Corinthians was not to know them to crucifie Christ but the vertue and Power of Christ crucified in them and if the same Christ that suffered at Jerusalem were not in every one the wickedest Man in the World could not crucifie to himselfe the Lord of glory And what Christ did in the Flesh once alwaies had and hath its powerfull effect in the Spirit of every Soul that is united to him within it selfe and not otherwise Therefore we should learne to understand how it is Christ that was the Lamb slain from the beginning of the World and then also in Abel when he was slain by Cain also in his own Body when Jesus himselfe was nailed on the Crosse and gave up the Ghost and still suffers and is slain in his Members and as he will say at the Judgment when all shall appeare from Adam to the last Man that is borne of a Woman whatsoever is done to the Least of those that believe in him it is done to Christ himselfe in them and not that he will only take it as done to him as his words are commonly expounded but it is really done to him His Flesh is meat indeed his Blood is drink indeed and they that did not eate and drink

And then there arose a light in Nature among the Heathens so that they knew Nature her operation although this was only a light in the wild Nature and was not yet the holy light 27. For the wild Nature was not yet overcome and light and darknesse wrestled so long one with another till the Sun arose forced this tree with its heat so that it did bear pleasant sweet fruit that is till there came the Prince of Light out of the heart of God and became Man in Nature and wrestled in his humane body in the power of the Divine light in the wild Nature That same Prince and Royal twigg grew up in Nature and became a tree in Nature and spread its branches abroad from the East to the West and encompassed the whole Nature and wrestled and fought with the fierce wrath which was in Nature and with the Prince thereof till he overcame and triumphed as a King in Nature and took the Prince of wrath or fiercenesse Captive in his own house Psal. 68. 28. This being done there grew out of the Royal Tree which was grown in Nature many thousand Legions of precious sweet twigs all which had the scent and taste of that precious Tree Though there fell upon them rain snow hayl and tempestuous storms so that many a twigg was torn and beaten off from the tree yet still others grew in their places For the Wrath or fiercenesse in Nature and the Prince thereof raised great tempests with hayl thundring lightning and rain so that many glorious twiggs were torn from the sweet and good Tree 29. But these twiggs were of such a pleasant sweet and curious taste that no humane nor Angelical tongue is able to expresse it for there was great power and vertue in them they were good to heal the wild Heathens Whatever Heathen did eat of the twigg of this tree he was delivered from his wild nature in which he was born and became a sweet tree in this pretious Tree and sprung up in that tree and did bear pretious fruit like the Royal tree Therefore many Heathens resorted to the pretious tree where the pretious twiggs lay which the Prince of darknesse by his storms and tempestuous winds had torn off and whatever Heathen did smell to the twigg so torn off he was healed of his wild wrath or fiercenesse which he had brought from his Mother into the world 30. But when the Prince of darknesse did see that the Heathens strove and contended about these twiggs and not about the Tree therein he found great losse and dammage and then he ceased with his storms toward the East and South and placed a Merchant under the tree who gathered up the twiggs which were fallen from the pretious tree and then when the Heathens came and enquired after the good and vertuous twigs then the Merchant presented and offered them for money to make gain of the pretious Tree For this the Prince of wrath or fierceness required at the hands of his Merchant because the tree was grown upon his ground and land and spoyled his soyl 31. And so when the Heathens did see that the fruit of the pretious tree was put to sale they flock'd to the Merchant and bought of the fruit of the tree and they came also from forraign Islands to buy even from the Ends of the world Now when the Merchant saw that his Wares were in request and esteem he plotted how he might gather a great treasure to his Master and so sent Factors abroad every where to offer his Wares to sell praising them highly but he sophisticated the wares and sold other fruit instead of the good which were not grown on the good Tree this he did to encrease his Masters treasure 32. But the Heathens and all the Islands and Nations which dwelt on the earth were all grown on the wild tree which was good and bad and therefore were half blind and did not discern the good tree which however did spread its branches from the East to the West else they would not have bought of the false wares 33. But because they knew not the pretious Tree which spread its branches over them all all of them ran after and to the Factors and bought of them mix'd false wares instead of good and supposed they served for health but because all of them did long after the good tree which however moved over them all many of them were healed because of their great desire they had to the Tree For the fragrancy of the tree which moved over them healed them of their wrath or fiercenesse and wild nature and not the false wares of the Factors this continued a long time 34. Now when the Prince in the darknesse who is the Source of wrath or fierceness malice and perdition perceived that men were healed of their poison and wild nature by the fragrancy of the pretious Tree he was enraged and planted a wild tree toward the North which sprung up and grew in the fiercenesse or wrath of Nature and made proclamation saying This is the Tree of Life he that eateth of it shall be healed and live eternally 35. For in that place where the wild tree grew was a wild place and the people there had the true light of God from the beginning even unto that time and to this day though unknown and the tree grew on the Mount Hagar in the house of Ismael the mocker But when Proclamation was made of the tree Behold this is the tree of life then the wild people ●●ocked unto the tree which were not born of God but of the wild Nature and loved the wild tree and did eat of its fruit 36. And the tree grew to a mighty bignesse by the sap of wrath or fiercenesse in Nature and spread abroad its branches from the North to the East and West but the tree had its source and Root from the wild Nature which was good and bad and as the tree was so were its fruits But though the men of this place were grown out of the wild Nature yet the tree grew over them all and grew so huge that it reach 't with its branches even unto the Esteemed pretious Land or Country under the Holy Tree 37. But the cause that the wild tree grew to such a huge bignesse was because the Nations under the good Tree ran all after the Factors which sold the false Wares and did eat of the false fruits which were good and bad and supposed they were healed thereby and medled not with the holy good effectuall Tree 38. In the mean while they grew more blind weak and faint and were disabled to suppresse the growing of the wild tree toward the North for they were too weak and faint and they saw well enough that the tree was wild and naught but they wanted strength and could not suppresse the growing of the tree 39. Yet if they had not run after the false Wares those Factors sold and had not
