the_o devil_n and_o what_o propriety_n or_o part_n he_o have_v in_o it_o it_o go_v not_o naked_a unless_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n conduct_v it_o so_o that_o it_o have_v he_o for_o a_o shield_n or_o defence_n so_o that_o the_o devil_n suttlety_n can_v press_v or_o slip_v into_o it_o 25._o it_o make_v no_o wonder_n unless_o god_n spirit_n awaken_v or_o stir_v it_o up_o it_o give_v god_n the_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o attribute_v the_o might_n &_o power_n to_o he_o it_o do_v as_o a_o humble_a child_n and_o remain_v stand_v under_o the_o cross_n and_o let_v the_o

the_o devil_n can_v do_v nothing_o to_o that_o soul_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v dead_a to_o he_o he_o may_v with_o his_o turba_n in_o the_o earthly_a life_n with_o his_o helper_n and_o instrument_n

spirit_n and_o will_v fain_o be_v above_o god_n wonder_n but_o a_o humility_n can_v bind_v he_o or_o subdue_v he_o 27._o in_o such_o a_o manner_n may_v every_o man_n escape_v the_o false_a and_o wicked_a magus_n and_o also_o the_o necromancer_n for_o no_o power_n take_v hold_v on_o they_o where_o god_n dwell_v as_o christ_n 14._o in_o his_o death_n overcome_v the_o devil_n and_o death_n so_o also_o we_o in_o christ_n for_o the_o word_n that_o become_v man_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o in_o that_o word_n we_o can_v rule_v over_o the_o devil_n and_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o hindrance_n 28._o thus_o we_o give_v you_o for_o a_o answer_n upon_o this_o question_n that_o the_o soul_n in_o its_o original_a be_v great_o powerful_a it_o be_v able_a and_o can_v do_v much_o but_o only_o in_o that_o principle_n into_o which_o it_o look_v or_o stand_v be_v its_o power_n and_o might_n for_o the_o devil_n can_v rule_v over_o god_n its_o might_n or_o power_n be_v not_o give_v to_o it_o as_o a_o king_n give_v may_v power_n authority_n or_o favour_n to_o any_o but_o it_o stand_v in_o natures-right_a therefore_o we_o be_v child_n of_o the_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n and_o inherit_v his_o good_n in_o the_o omnipotency_n the_o seven_o question_n whether_o the_o soul_n be_v corporeal_a or_o not_o corporeal_a 1._o a_o thing_n which_o be_v from_o no_o beginning_n have_v also_o nothing_o that_o can_v give_v it_o any_o thing_n and_o if_o it_o be_v something_o it_o must_v seek_v the_o beginning_n in_o itself_o for_o every_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o the_o deep_a abyss_n of_o its_o substance_n but_o if_o it_o must_v make_v the_o substance_n to_o itself_o it_o can_v dwell_v in_o nothing_o that_o be_v strange_a to_o it_o but_o in_o itself_o in_o its_o own_o substance_n 2._o when_o god_n create_v the_o soul_n the_o holy_a spirit_n surround_v it_o with_o the_o tincture_n for_o it_o stand_v therein_o as_o to_o one_o part_n in_o itself_o it_o be_v raw_a or_o red_a as_o the_o glow_a of_o the_o fire_n be_v raw_a or_o red_a and_o be_v surround_v with_o the_o tincture_n 3._o as_o you_o understand_v that_o from_o the_o warmth_n the_o grow_a exi_v that_o be_v a_o drive_v of_o the_o tincture_n which_o drive_v the_o twig_n or_o branch_n out_o from_o the_o root_n viz._n out_o of_o the_o same_o fire_n be_v it_o cold_a or_o hot_a 4._o for_o the_o darkness_n have_v a_o cold_a fire_n so_o long_o till_o it_o reach_v the_o anguish_n and_o then_o it_o kindle_v itself_o in_o the_o hot_a as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o a_o herb_n if_o it_o come_v into_o another_o quality_n 5._o thus_o we_o give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o tincture_n be_v the_o right_a and_o true_a soul_n body_n for_o the_o soul_n be_v fire_n and_o the_o tincture_n go_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o fire_n which_o the_o fire_n draw_v again_o to_o itself_o and_o meekn_v or_o allay_v itself_o therewith_o so_o that_o the_o fierce_a wrathful_a source_n or_o quality_n extinguish_v 6._o thus_o the_o tincture_n stand_v in_o meekness_n and_o it_o have_v no_o substance_n or_o might_n or_o power_n in_o itself_o but_o the_o water_n be_v its_o might_n or_o power_n there_o come_v out_o of_o the_o meekness_n of_o the_o tincture_n water_n to_o be_v 7._o for_o the_o fire_n be_v desirous_a and_o where_o there_o be_v a_o desire_v of_o the_o original_a there_o be_v also_o a_o find_n of_o the_o original_a thus_o the_o fire_n find_v in_o the_o tincture_n water_n and_o turn_v that_o into_o sulphur_n according_a to_o power_n or_o virtue_n of_o all_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v a_o water_n of_o life_n 8._o for_o the_o tincture_n drive_v up_o in_o the_o water_n as_o a_o sprout_n and_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o abyss_n cause_v that_o 9_o thus_o be_v the_o water_n in_o the_o sulphur_n of_o the_o seven_o spirit_n change_v into_o the_o mystery_n and_o the_o great_a areanum_fw-la or_o secret_n lie_v therein_o whatsoever_o god_n and_o the_o eternity_n can_v do_v thus_o the_o mystery_n contain_v two_o form_n viz._n fire_n &_o water_n and_o wondelt_n change_v itself_o according_a to_o both_o viz._n according_a to_o the_o fire_n into_o red_a and_o according_a to_o the_o tincture_n into_o white_a so_o that_o a_o clear_a shine_a or_o glance_n exi_v from_o the_o fire_n so_o that_o the_o life_n see_v or_o know_v itself_o out_o of_o which_o reason_n and_o thought_n exist_v and_o the_o mind_n be_v in_o the_o wheel_n or_o orb_n of_o the_o anguish_n in_o the_o fire_n out_o of_o which_o the_o essence_n exist_v 10._o and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o blood_n be_v viz._n a_o house_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o tincture_n be_v its_o body_n 11._o the_o right_a or_o true_a soul_n have_v no_o palpable_a body_n which_o be_v call_v soul_n but_o in_o the_o tincture_n grow_v the_o body_n in_o the_o sulphur_n out_o of_o sulphur_n that_o be_v every_o spirit_n of_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o nature_n desire_v substantiality_n which_o be_v together_o sulphur_n 12._o for_o sul_z be_v power_n and_o virtue_n out_o of_o the_o light_n and_o phur_n be_v power_n and_o virtue_n out_o of_o the_o four_o form_n of_o nature_n original_a as_o in_o the_o threefoldlife_n three_o book_n be_v mention_v at_o large_a 13._o thus_o the_o phur_n desire_v flesh_n that_o be_v a_o mixture_n out_o of_o fire_n and_o water_n and_o be_v in_o the_o tincture_n conceive_v and_o generate_v or_o bear_v 14._o and_o the_o tincture_n be_v the_o grow_v of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o original_a of_o the_o spirit_n through_o the_o tincture_n for_o in_o the_o tincture_n the_o soul_n spirit_n take_v its_o original_a which_o viz._n the_o right_a true_a image_n figure_v according_a to_o god_n image_n that_o be_v according_a to_o all_o the_o three_o principle_n for_o in_o the_o fire_n the_o soul_n be_v no_o similitude_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n 15._o for_o the_o first_o soul_n be_v together_o

16._o and_o i_o give_v you_o for_o answer_n that_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o soul_n mere_o and_o pure_o by_o which_o we_o understand_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o fire-globe_n with_o a_o fire-eye_n and_o with_o a_o light-eye_n which_o turn_v back_o to_o back_n and_o one_o within_o another_o as_o wheel_n the_o wheel_n in_o ezekiel_n that_o can_v go_v on_o all_o side_n 16._o though_o babel_n have_v make_v clean_o another_o understanding_n upon_o it_o but_o a_o blind_a one_o without_o spirit_n 17._o but_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v its_o tincture_n out_o of_o the_o light_n which_o exi_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o light_n it_o be_v a_o spirit_n where_o the_o original_a of_o the_o soul_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o eternity_n can_v separate_v asunder_o note_n it_o be_v a_o eternal_a band_n and_o when_o the_o blood_n go_v away_o and_o the_o body_n die_v than_o this_o band_n continue_v in_o eternity_n 18._o the_o body_n as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o soul_n pure_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o soul_n they_o be_v two_o substance_n for_o the_o body_n be_v the_o soul_n looking-glass_n and_o dwell_a house_n also_o its_o proper_a portion_n and_o it_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n that_o the_o mere_a pure_a soul_n alter_v or_o change_v the_o spirit_n viz._n according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n or_o long_v of_o the_o body_n or_o of_o the_o
anguish_n into_o death_n and_o sprout_v forth_o again_o into_o the_o liberty_n and_o that_o be_v the_o light_n together_o with_o the_o fire_n source_n or_o quality_n but_o it_o now_o contain_v or_o

against_o the_o spirit_n the_o outward_a flesh_n life_n be_v a_o looking-glass_n of_o the_o most_o inward_a fire-life_n viz._n of_o the_o soul_n life_n therefore_o be_v the_o soul_n spirit-life_n together_o with_o the_o light_n in_o the_o tincture_n the_o middlemost_a life_n and_o yet_o become_v generate_v out_o of_o the_o soul_n 7._o but_o understand_v we_o according_a to_o its_o precious_a height_n the_o soul_n spirit_n wherein_o the_o divine_a image_n stand_v originate_v in_o the_o fire_n and_o be_v first_o the_o will_n to_o the_o fire_n but_o when_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n to_o the_o fire_n so_o sharpen_v and_o kindle_v or_o inflame_v itself_o than_o the_o will_n come_v into_o great_a anguish_n like_o a_o die_a and_o sink_v down_o in_o itself_o out_o of_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n into_o the_o eternal_a liberty_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o die_v but_o thus_o the_o other_o or_o second_o world_n come_v to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o first_o 8._o for_o the_o will_v now_o sprout_v into_o the_o other_o world_n as_o a_o sharpness_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n but_o without_o such_o quality_n flow_v forth_o in_o the_o eternal_a liberty_n and_o be_v a_o move_a driving_z and_o apprehend_v of_o the_o anguish_n nature_n it_o have_v all_o essence_n which_o be_v become_v generate_v in_o the_o first_o sharp_a fire-world_n in_o the_o anguish_n but_o they_o be_v as_o one_o that_o go_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n into_o the_o water_n where_o the_o anguish_n of_o the_o fire_n remain_v in_o the_o water_n 9_o understand_v we_o thus_o concern_v this_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n spirit-life_n the_o soul_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o nature_n the_o spirit_n be_v the_o precious_a noble_a image_n which_o god_n create_v to_o his_o image_n herein_o stand_v the_o high-king_o and_o precious_a image_n of_o god_n for_o god_n be_v also_o thus_o and_o comprehend_v in_o the_o same_o life_n quality_n or_o source_n 10._o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o sever_v from_o the_o soul_n no_o as_o you_o see_v that_o fire_n and_o shine_v be_v not_o sever_v and_o yet_o also_o be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o it_o have_v a_o twofold_a source_n or_o quality_n the_o fire_n fierce_a wrathful_a and_o the_o light_n meek_a and_o lovely_a and_o in_o the_o light_n be_v the_o life_n and_o in_o the_o fire_n δ_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o life_n 11._o thus_o you_o may_v very_o easy_o and_o without_o much_o seek_n find_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o contrariety_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o inward_a spirit_n have_v god_n body_n out_o of_o or_o from_o the_o meek_a substantiality_n and_o the_o outward_a spirit_n have_v the_o fierce_a wrathful_a fires-looking-glass_n body_n viz._n the_o soul_n looking-glass_n body_n which_o will_v continual_o awaken_v the_o fierce_a wrathfulness_n viz._n the_o great_a wonder_n which_o lie_v in_o the_o arcanum_n or_o secrecy_n of_o the_o soul_n sternness_n therefore_o the_o inward_a love-spirit_n hinder_v it_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o lift_v up_o itself_o and_o kindle_v or_o inflame_v the_o soul_n else_o it_o will_v lose_v its_o love-habitation_n and_o image_n and_o the_o soul_n fierce-wrath_n will_v destroy_v it_o 12._o the_o contrariety_n be_v thus_o the_o inward_a spirit_n will_v be_v lord_n for_o it_o subdue_v the_o outward_a and_o the_o outward_a will_v be_v lord_n for_o it_o say_v i_o have_v the_o great_a wonder_n and_o the_o arcanum_n or_o secret_n and_o thus_o glori_v about_o the_o mystery_n and_o yet_o be_v but_o a_o looking-glass_n of_o the_o mystery_n 13._o it_o be_v not_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o mystery_n but_o a_o seek_v or_o search_v like_o a_o palpable_a looking-glass_n in_o which_o the_o mystery_n become_v see_v he_o will_v needs_o be_v a_o master_n be_v he_o have_v attain_v one_o principle_n and_o be_v a_o own_o self-life_n but_o he_o be_v to_o be_v account_v a_o fool_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o mystery_n 14._o therefore_o love_a brother_n if_o you_o will_v seek_v the_o mystery_n seek_v it_o not_o in_o the_o outward_a spirit_n for_o so_o you_o will_v be_v deceive_v and_o get_v but_o a_o glimpse_n of_o the_o mystery_n go_v in_o even_o to_o the_o cross_n then_o seek_v gold_n you_o will_v not_o be_v deceive_v you_o must_v seek_v the_o pure_a child_n without_o blemish_n in_o another_o world_n in_o this_o world_n you_o find_v only_o the_o rusty_a or_o drossy_a child_n which_o be_v altogether_o imperfect_a and_o now_o take_v this_o right_a thus_o 15._o go_v from_o the_o cross_a back_n into_o the_o four_o form_n there_o you_o have_v sun_n and_o moon_n one_o in_o another_o bring_v it_o into_o anguish_n into_o death_n and_o drive_v on_o the_o make_v or_o frame_v magic_a body_n so_o far_o till_o it_o become_v again_o what_o it_o be_v before_o the_o centre_n in_o

you_o may_v understand_v it_o well_o enough_o in_o all_o the_o other_o question_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v explain_v enough_o 5._o we_o dare_v not_o answer_v concern_v future_a
