JOHN SPARROVV A LETTER TO Charles of Endern Carol von Endern Our salvation is in the Life of Jesus Christ in us NOble Sir beloved in Christ with the Hearty Desire of the Divine Light in the working power of the Holy Ens in our Immanuel I send over to you the little Booke of Christs Testaments with the Preface to it It should have been written but singly in the three first sheets for I would have written it all over againe and had begun with the first Chapter And I am purposed to bring to the Presse this little Booke in a more child-like manner for the better understanding of the simple But because of the high sense I let the One by the other one on one side the other on the other verse for verse one be written against the other seeing you and others Exercised Lovers understand this sense well and so the sublime understandings may have that which is high and the simple that which is lowly in the sense yet there is one and the same understanding in them both though in the lower sense more simple words might be made use of and so I commit you to the continuall saving Love of Jesus Christ Dated at Gerlitz 7● May the yeare of Christ 1624. JACOB BEHM The Summary Contents of the Chapters in this first Booke concerning the Holy Baptisme CHAP. I. How Reason useth to behold it selfe in a Creaturely Image-like manner when it considereth of Christ and his Testaments and whence the strife about Christs Testaments ariseth and how that strife is an empty unprofitable thing CHAP. II. Of the Covenant of God after the Fall what the Fall of Man is and how God hath bound himselfe in Covenant with him againe What the Circumcision in the old Testament is and what the Baptisme in the New CHAP. III. A Briefe and fundamentall information how Man is Baptised by the Holy Ghost with Christs sufferings Death and Resurrection in body and soule CHAP. IV. Of the outward Water-Baptisme by the hand of Man who is worthy so to * Or to Administer it Baptise and what baptised Infant receiveth that Testament worthily and how it goeth with the unworthy Hand as also with the unworthy Baptised Infant The Preface to the Reader SHEWING How the Testaments of Christ must be fundamentally understood rightly participated and worthily fed upon A Looking Glasse for Teacher and Hearer 1. CHristian loving Reader this little Booke of the Testaments of Christ in this present time when Men strive onely about Opinions ought well to be considered Men are wholly and altogether departed from the right understanding seeing they will maintaine Christs Testaments with Disputing and the Sword 2. There needs no Disputing about it onely an earnest sincere penitent Man who hath the Faith understandeth this Testamentary a Covenanting Institution and participation in the Power of Christ but it is foolishnesse to the Naturall Man and cannot be apprehended 1 Cor. 2.14 3. There belongeth quite another Earnest Sincerity to the true understanding which is not apprehended by humane Reason and is rightly understood by no Man unlesse the Spirit of Christ open it to him in his Heart 4. There lyeth a fast Seale before it which no Reason nor Art can breake up but onely that slaine Lamb of the House of Israel who hath the Key of David Revel 3.7 Chap. 3.5 5. Christs Testaments are to Reason without the Divine Light a closed Booke but to the true children of Christ they are an Opened Booke Christs Testaments are a Seale of the firme and Eternall Covenant of God wherewith God hath received Man to Grace againe after the horrible Defection and sealed him with the flowing forth of his Love by his bloud and Death that wee b Or Might should beleeve his Word and Promise which he hath revealed to us in the Holy Scripture concerning his Sonne with the Redemption from sinne and heertofore declared by the Prophets 6. Which Word in the flowing forth of his Love is come into our humanity and hath assumed a Humane Soule also flesh and bloud and hath established this Eternall Covenant with his Bloud and Death And so now he giveth this Testament to his Faithfull ones for a c Ausibeute Talent or earnest Penny or Pawne Pledge and so maketh them Branches on the Vine of his Flesh and Bloud so that they are imbodied to himselfe therewith and made his right children in whom HEE himselfe will dwell with his flesh and bloud with this Testamentary c Ausibeute Talent or earnest Penny or Pawne Pledge so that thereby they may Pray to the Father with joyfull affiance in true child-like Humility in the Name of his Sonne JESUS CHRIST and so he will give them this Grace John 16.23 7. This Testament he offereth to us after a twofold Manner First through his Word Preached whereby he Stirreth and Openeth the Hearts of the Hearers that they enter into true Repentance for their Sinnes and so procure themselves this Pledge of his Testaments 8. Secondly Through the True d Or Essentiall substantiall participation of his Flesh and Bloud by the Mouth of Faith with Bread and Wine whereby he sealeth the Faith with his Bloud and Death and thereby Openeth the Lifes understanding of the Inward Divine Hearing so that the poore fallen Man which was dead to the Divine Hearing through sinne attaineth againe the Divine Hearing in his understanding and so is converted againe and so entereth into his first Inheritance which he had in Paradise and giveth up his will to God who reneweth his Heart e Senses Thoughts and Minde through his Inspeaking or Inspiration and continueth and dwelleth in him with his Pledge of this Testament and powerfully worketh in him in
under his Rodde and pray for Grace 25. He who hath learned much and knoweth how to fit himselfe for it is no more acceptable to God then he that knoweth nothing but yet with his whole Heart and soule in sorrow for sinnes turneth to him and hath Faith in the Grace and a true Earnest Purpose and Resolution to be a New Creature 26. This Ground is onely therefore brought forth so deeply that every one that strive about it might see the true Inward Ground and cease from strife and yeeld himselfe into the simplicity and Love of Jesus Christ Whereby then suddenly the power of Sathan will be diminished and People and Nations will see that the Christians are the children of God If they thus walke in Love which I wish from my Heart for which Cause this little Booke is written Note Heere the Reader that loveth God is to know FIrst that these two little Books were copied faithfully and diligently out of the Authours own blessed Manuscript as he wrote them Anno 1623. And secondly that he afterwards in the yeare 1624. upon the desires of some good friends lovers of the Truth was purposed as may be seene in the foregoing Letter to Carol von Endern for the better understanding of the simple to bring them both into a more child-like forme but it is done onely to part of the third Chapter of this first Booke and no further Thus writeth the Publisher of the High dutch Copie But more particularly let the Reader take notice that the Authour had gone on to the 17th verse of the 3d Chapter as may appeare in the Printing of the double Pages in this Book and so it was Printed in the High Dutch and in the same manner here in the English only with a different magnitude of Letter those words which are the same on both sides are as neere as can well be observed in a letter of the same bignes with the whole Book but on the first side that which is not on the other side also is with a smaller letter and it was the first Booke that was written and finished by the Authour and on the second side that which was not in the other is with a larger letter was that other Copie which he entended to finish quite through the whole Booke and this is done to distinguish in some measure the alteration of the Expression in the two severall Copies for the better understanding of the Mystery and if it be diligently Observed it will very much help to the understanding of this and all his other Writings because where the Expression is obscure in the one it is cleerer in the other And besides by the varying the Expression all may discerne what latitude the Authours words may admit of in their meaning in all his Bookes Further it is certain that we may be lead by the severall Expressions to the true knowledge of some part of the Mystery and this great benefit accrues from thence that it will enable us to speak write infallibly that which hath never been spoken or written concerning that Mystery be it in Divine or Naturall things But by the way this is not to be attained by outward Hearing or Reading onely but by Experience Teachers or Hearers that want Experience are indeed Ordinary Teachers and Hearers but not true ones for such are Extraordinary in the account of our times such hearers are all they that understand the Word feelingly and bring forth fruit in their lives and Conversations and have the Power of Godlinesse these can teach truly from what they know though in a weake measure but those that are called Ordinary Teachers that have onely a forme of Godlines and deny the Power therof cannot teach at all nor deserve so much as the Name of an Ordinary Teacher such a one is not so much as a true hearer Our Saviour teacheth us that whosoever will do the will of our Father which is in Heaven Joh. 7.17 they shall know of his words whether they be of God and if he submit his doctrine to be Examined by every one by this Rule why should not every word of all others be examined by the same Rule let us thus do and we shall Ordinarily attain that which is indeed Extraordinary even the true knowledge of spirituall things the things of God which are impossible to be perceived by the Naturall man And accordingly I desire thee to Judge of the Authour of this Booke and no otherwise Farewell The First Chapter Of Reasons viewing of it selfe how it useth to run in a Creaturely Forme when it considereth of Christ and his Testaments 1. ALL Strife and Mis-understanding concerning Christs Person and his Testaments which he left behinde him ariseth from the defected Creaturely Reason which will be a Mistris of All things or Beeings and looketh onely in the Multiplicity of Beeings and in the variety and difference of Beeings and doth but loose it selfe in such viewing and breaketh it selfe off from its Centre or Originall and disperseth the a Or Senses Thoughts in the Multiplicity of Beeings that they cannot see what their ground is out of which they are sprung and so in their Confusion and running out breake themselves off from their Cha●s viz from the Eternall WORD of God and from the Eternall Divine speaking In which spoken Word all Beeings together with understanding Reason and Thoughts consist and take their Ground and beginning from it 2. For if the Abyssall not Naturall uncreaturall GOD viz the Eternall ONE speake his WORD no more and that speaking should Cease there would be no understanding Reason or Thoughts more also no Nature nor Creature and all Beeings would be an Eternall nothing for every Life ariseth from the Exhalation of the Eternall ONE viz from the Abysse and there could be no Formability in the Eternall One according to which or out of which something might be made 3. For if there were a formability to a figure then there must also have been a cause from whence the forme were arisen and God were not one onely God who were without Ground Time and Place for all that hath a beginning hath a Ground but that which hath no beginning is without Ground and Forme 4. Every beginning goeth out of the Eternall ONE through the Exhalation of the Eternall ONE whereby the Eternall ONE bringeth it selfe into selfe-viewing perceptibility and findingnesse to the Moving and forming of it selfe Every visible and Invisible Beeing Spirituall and Corporeall have taken their Originall in the Exhalation of the Eternall ONE and stand with their Ground therein for the beginning of every Beeing is nothing else but an Imagination of the Abysse that the same bring it selfe by its own longing into an Imagination and Modelleth and Imageth it selfe and apprehendeth the Imagelikenesse and b Or Exhaleth it breatheth it forth from the Eternall One to a viewing of it selfe 5. Which c Or Haling breathing is the Eternall Word of the
the works of Love then he hath also no Faith the opinion maketh no salvation but is Babell a confusion of the Tongues of the one onely Love None is a Christian unlesse he love his neighbour and desireth to doe him good 14. The outwardly imputed Grace without the innate e Or childelike filial Grace is all false when Christ worketh in a Man then he is a Christian and then the sufferings merits and satisfaction of Christ availe him when he hath him in himselfe for an Advocate who hath done it that he doe it also in him and attracteth his merits to him then is the kingdome of God in that Merit otherwise all Imagelike Opinions are faise No work pleaseth God but what he himselfe worketh in Man through his Spirit therefore let us be the children of Christ and not the children of Images 15. Christ hath imparted his kingdome to us in his Testaments he that will receive it must be his childe else there is no Inheritance to work Repentance is better then to desire to know much Is not the knowledge given from God to a Man then he will not be able to understand the Ground of the divine secret Mystery but if it be given him he neede no Image to continue in the humility and simplicity of Christ and to cleave to his love and Grace without despising of any one is good Christianity All whatsoever speaketh of it selfe is Babell in Christ wee are all Members and all one AMEN The End of the second little Book concerning The Holy Supper The Table of the Two Testaments Angells Book 1.
