secret_a arcanum_n or_o a_o mystery_n of_o a_o whole_a substance_n and_o be_v thus_o a_o comprehension_n viz_o a_o abyssall_n wonder_v of_o eternity_n where_o many_o life_n without_o number_n become_v

the_o note_n divine_a substance_n viz_o the_o eternal_a word_n or_o heart_n of_o god_n be_v continual_o and_o from_o eternity_n generate_v 28._o from_o which_o the_o desirous_a will_n eternal_o go_v

and_o also_o two_o substance_n out_o of_o and_o in_o one_o only_a eternal_a abyssall_n original_a 29._o and_o thus_o we_o apprehend_v what_o god_n and_o nature_n be_v how_o both_o of_o they_o be_v from_o eternity_n without_o any_o ground_n and_o beginning_n for_o it_o be_v a_o continual_a eternal_o endure_v beginning_n it_o begin_v itself_o continual_o and_o from_o eternity_n in_o eternity_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o number_n for_o it_o be_v the_o abyss_n the_o five_o text._n 30._o thus_o then_o see_v two_o substance_n have_v be_v from_o eternity_n therefore_o we_o can_v say_v that_o the_o one_o stand_v next_o or_o beside_o the_o other_o and_o apprehend_v or_o frame_v itself_o so_o that_o the_o one_o comprehend_v the_o other_o and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v that_o the_o one_o

and_o the_o nature-life_n stand_v out_o from_o itself_o turn_v forward_o before_o itself_o where_o they_o together_o we_o liken_v it_o to_o a_o round_a wheel_n whole_a wheel_n the_o philophique_a globe_n in_o the_o 40._o question_n of_o the_o soul_n unparted_a and_o whole_a globe_n or_o sphere_n which_o go_v on_o all_o side_n as_o the_o ver_fw-la the_o ezek._n 1.15_o to_o the_o 26._o ver_fw-la

two_o principle_n in_o one_o only_a original_a where_o each_o have_v its_o mystery_n and_o its_o work_n for_o the_o nature-life_n work_v to_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o spirit-life_n to_o the_o light_n of_o the_o brightness_n and_o glory_n 33._o where_o then_o we_o understand_v in_o the_o fire_n the_o fierceness_n of_o the_o confirm_v of_o the_o substantiality_n of_o nature_n and_o in_o the_o light_n the_o generate_a of_o the_o water_n which_o bereave_v the_o fire_n of_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n as_o before_o in_o the_o question_n the_o in_o the_o 40._o question_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o answer_n to_o the_o 1._o question_n question_n have_v be_v declare_v 34._o and_o thus_o to_o we_o be_v apprehensible_a that_o it_o be_v one_o only_a substantiality_n of_o nature_n like_o water_n and_o fire_n together_o which_o thus_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v mingle_v one_o in_o another_o where_o than_o it_o give_v a_o light_n blue_n or_o azure_a colour_n like_o the_o flash_n of_o fire_n 35._o where_o it_o have_v the_o form_n or_o resemblance_n like_o a_o ruby_n a_o or_o ruby_n cherubin_n or_o ruby_n and_o crystal_n mingle_v in_o one_o only_a substance_n or_o like_a yellow_a white_a red_a

prevent_v its_o fire_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o consume_v there_o but_o thus_o they_o be_v one_o only_o eternal_a substance_n in_o two_o mystery_n one_o in_o another_o and_o yet_o a_o distinction_n of_o two_o principle_n viz_o of_o a_o twofold_a life_n 37._o and_o thus_o we_o understand_v herein_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o substance_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o magic_a substance_n where_o a_o will_n can_v create_v itself_o into_o a_o essential_a life_n and_o so_o pass_v into_o a_o birth_n or_o geniture_n and_o in_o the_o great_a mystery_n awaken_v a_o source_n

from_o the_o imagination_n in_o the_o great_a mystery_n where_o a_o wonderful_a essential_a life_n generate_v itself_o 39_o as_o we_o have_v a_o sufficient_a instance_n to_o apprehend_v it_o by_o in_o the_o creature_n of_o this_o world_n viz_o where_o the_o divine_a life_n have_v once_o move_v or_o awaken_v the_o nature-life_n how_o the_o same_o have_v generate_v such_o wonderful_a creature_n out_o

thus_o than_o the_o seek_v seek_v the_o limit_n or_o utmost_a extent_n of_o the_o beginning_n and_o go_v out_o from_o the_o look_a glass_n and_o then_o be_v the_o lookingglass_n break_v and_o the_o break_v be_v a_o turba_n viz_o a_o die_a of_o the_o life_n the_o receive_v conceive_a or_o form_v life_n comprehenaed_n life_n 44._o and_o it_o be_v high_o apprehensible_a to_o we_o how_o the_o

the_o eternity_n do_v itself_o awken_v it_o viz_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n which_o in_o the_o eternity_n lie_v hide_v in_o the_o mystery_n 45._o and_o we_o see_v here_o when_o the_o eternal_a nature_n once_o move_v or_o awaken_v itself_o with_o the_o create_a that_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n become_v together_o aawaken_v and_o also_o manifest_v or_o reveal_v itself_o in_o creature_n as_o man_n find_v

nature_n seek_v the_o extent_n or_o limit_v of_o the_o malignity_n and_o will_v to_o leave_v or_o forsake_v it_o 47._o where_o then_o it_o fall_v into_o the_o turba_n that_o be_v into_o the_o die_a and_o yet_o be_v no_o die_v but_o a_o spew_v out_o even_o into_o the_o mystery_n where_o the_o malignity_n with_o its_o life_n shall_v stand_v apart_o viz_o in_o a_o darkness_n 48._o for_o nature_n leave_v or_o forsake_v it_o and_o shut_v it_o out_o so_o that_o it_o stand_v thus_o in_o itself_o as_o in_o evil_a poisonous_a venomous_a fierce_a wrathful_a mystery_n and_o be_v itself_o its_o own_o
