3._o and_o yet_o we_o know_v the_o right_a principle_n to_o be_v in_o the_o fire_n original_a in_o the_o fire-source_n or_o quality_n which_o break_v the_o substantiality_n and_o also_o the_o

give_v it_o its_o property_n so_o that_o out_o of_o the_o burn_a source_n or_o quality_n a_o high_a kingdom_n of_o joy_n come_v to_o be_v 9_o for_o the_o anguish_n attain_v the_o liberty_n and_o so_o the_o burn_a fire_n continue_v only_o to_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o find_v the_o life_n and_o the_o light_n of_o the_o majesty_n 10._o the_o fire_n take_v into_o itself_o the_o light_n property_n viz_o the_o meekness_n and_o the_o light_n take_v into_o itself_o the_o fire_n property_n viz_o the_o life_n and_o to_o find_v itself_o and_o the_o second_o principle_n be_v understand_v in_o the_o light_n or_o to_o be_v the_o light_n 11._o but_o the_o essential_a substantiality_n out_o of_o which_o the_o fire_n burn_v continue_v eternal_o a_o darkness_n and_o a_o source_n or_o quality_n of_o fierce_a wrath_n wherein_o the_o devil_n dwell_v 12._o as_o you_o see_v plain_o that_o the_o fire_n be_v another_o thing_n then_o that_o out_o of_o which_o the_o fire_n burn_v 13._o thus_o the_o principle_n consist_v in_o fire_n and_o not_o in_o the_o essential_a source_n or_o quality_n of_o the_o substantiality_n 14_o the_o essential_a source_n or_o quality_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o nature_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o principle_n but_o it_o be_v dark_a and_o the_o fire_n shine_v 15._o and_o here_o be_v right_o show_v you_o how_o the_o break_n of_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n viz_o of_o the_o death_n and_o the_o eternal_a liberty_n out_o of_o nature_n both_o together_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o shine_a 16._o for_o therefore_o be_v the_o wonder-spirit_n of_o the_o abyss_n desirous_a viz_o that_o it_o may_v become_v shine_v and_o therefore_o it_o bring_v itself_o into_o source_n or_o quality_n that_o it_o may_v perceive_v and_o find_v itself_o and_o that_o it_o may_v manifest_v or_o

thus_o the_o source_n or_o quality_n viz_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n have_v no_o right_a substantiality_n but_o the_o harsh_a fierce_a wrath_n be_v the_o substantiality_n of_o the_o sting_n wherein_o

one_o must_v be_v thick_a than_o the_o other_o else_o there_o w●uld_v be_v no_o find_v 19_o as_o viz_o the_o harsh_a astringency_n make_v thick_a and_o dark_a and_o so_o the_o bitter_a sting_n find_v the_o anguish_n in_o the_o harsh_a dark_a property_n as_o in_o m●●teria_n matter_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n there_o will_v be_v no_o spirit_n or_o find_v 20._o the_o abyss_n find_v itself_o in_o the_o harsh_a astringent_a darkness_n but_o it_o break_v open_v the_o darkness_n and_o go_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o harsh_a darkness_n as_o a_o spirit_n which_o have_v find_v itself_o in_o the_o anguish-source_n or_o quality_n 21._o but_o it_o leave_v that_o hard_a matter_n of_o the_o darkness_n wherein_o it_o find_v itself_o and_o go_v in_o into_o itself_o again_o into_o the_o

liberty_n viz_o of_o the_o light_n wherein_o it_o see_v itself_o what_o it_o be_v 22._o and_o thus_o now_o it_o desire_v no_o more_o for_o itself_o but_o the_o source_n or_o quality_n but_o modell_v
