MUNDORUM EXPLICATIO OR The Explanation of an Hieroglyphical FIGURE Wherein are couched the Mysteries of the External Internal and Eternal Worlds shewing the true progress of a Soul from the Court of Babylon to the City of Ierusalem from the Adamical fallen state to the Regenerate and Angelical Being A Sacred POEM written by S. P. Armig. Through Faith we understand that the Worlds 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 were framed by the Word of God so that things that are seen were not made of things that do appear Heb. 11. 3 God hath in these last dayes spoken to us by his Son whom he hath Created Heir of all things by whom he made the Worlds Heb. 1. 2.

Quid noscis si teipsum nescis Bucer in Psal. Homo ad contemplandum Creatorem suum Conditus est Gregor Mor. 8. LONDON Printed by T. R. for Lodowick Lloyd at the Castle in Corn●il 1661. INTO THE SACRED TREASURIE OF THE IMACULATE LAMB OF GOD THE HOLY IESUS KING OF ALL THE WORLDS AND MANS REDEEMER THE MOST UNWORTHY OF HIS SERVANTS HUMBLY PROSTRATE IN ALL HUMILITY BEGS LEAVE TO CAST THIS HIS SMALL MITE THE PREFACE CHRISTIAN Religion is summed up in these two words LOVE God with all thy Heart and thy Neighbour as thy self Here indeed lies contracted the whole LAW of God and of Nature There are not many Volumns of Acts and Statutes to be observ'd nor need mans memory be much burthen'd with the number of Doctrines and Commands They are few and Natural easie and plain They are all contracted into one word LOVE and what more natural appetite is there then that Vhat is Natural is easie what easie is plain Man in his primarie state and Condition was created with this appetite Love as the meanes whereby he might enjoy the felicity he was created to He naturally loved God his Creator and Fountain from whence he sprung as it is still naturall for all Creatures to Love their Original which is their Natural appetite not depraved Now God requires no more of man but that he follow that first institution and appetite of true Nature for which he was Created which was to Love God and that since his fellow Creatures were multiplyed that that natural appetite of Love should also be branc●ed forth to them as a part of Man's self so that the one has relation to our souls enjoyment the other to our living rightly that is Godly soberly righteously But Man being created a free Agent whilst in Paradise this natural appetite grew weak and through his dis●●dience became depraved and fell to lower Objects which as a Curse inherently sticks on all his posterity so that Man is apt to Love the base and terrene things of this world better than his Creator and the more sublime of the other World This is the reason Man disobeys God aud hurts himself for the strongest Love causes the strickest obedience so that did we love God we should obey him and did we truly love our selves we should not sinne against our Neighbour for what ever injury we do to him the Law of 〈◊〉 giv●s him a retaliating power to do to us though the strict Rules of the Go●●●l an● of C●ri●●inity teaches better Now 〈◊〉 to Lov●●nd serve God is the end of all Religion what need there be so many Disputes and alterations concerning the m●an●s of ●o ●hip and formes of Religion whilst man busies ●imself in those outward Quarrels and D●fferences he looses the substance and ma●row of his Religion and instead of a f●●ling Love of God finds only a moral No●ion of Him Aw●y then with the Names of sects of Churches and more Holy and separate Congregations of Men and let all p●esse af●er this Love of God and Charity to our Neighbour to do to Him as we would have him do to us and to live with a good Conscience under those Lawes and formes as our superiours by the special Providence of God are permitted to impo●e upon us which we ought to do if such L●wes and Formes are no wayes a hinderance to th●s Command of Loving God It is in e●d that di●●utative and wrangling Spirit which has lately seiz'd on this part of the World that ●as dampt Man's Love to God and Ch●●ity towards his Neighbour every one imposing on the l●berty and Conscience of another what a●p●ars Truth to himself They forget to write this on the Table of their memories ab alio expectes alteri quod feceris for did they they would Con●●der that Man's Conscience is not to b● forc'd the worship of God ought to be free and that there is an unchangeable and Eternal Law wrote by the 〈◊〉 of God in the Heart of every man by which he shall receive his Condemnation if 〈◊〉 by which the Heathens are inexc●sable a●d must b● brought to Iudgement Ch●ist the Saviour of man-kind ca●e not into the World to abrogate this Law but to confirm it to make it m●re excellent and to polish it by his Pr●cepts ●nd Doctrine whereby it might become more easie and more to the Capacity of ma● Therefore to live according to the Rules an● Pr●c●pts of Christ and to be a true Chris●ian is to Live according to the Rules of Nature sublime● by the Doctrine of Iesus But th● Devil that sub●le Enemy of mankind has ev●r made the way of a Christian to seem so hard and ●o repugnant to the Lawes of Nature that it has almost affright●d flesh and blood to enter upon it wh●n indeed it is the most genuine a●d natural ●ath that can be ●rod both to the satisfaction of the Soul and Body Indeed to Nature d●praved from its first institution and purity 〈◊〉 with the vitious enormities of hellish 〈◊〉 and of that dark Sphear the way of a Christian must seem hard and intolerable and in that regard strait is the Way and ●●rrow is the Gate that lea●s to Life Eternal Through the cunning instigation of the Devil Man being in the state of fallen or depraved Nature and finding the outward World with all its pleasurable baits and alluren●ents so gr●eable and corre●●ondent to this depraved Na●ure and to his senses he is content to live ●herein and superficially to worship God un●er a few Notions and 〈◊〉 about which he much troubles hi●●elf w●en indeed h● ought to worship God in Spi●it and in ●r●th which is to L●ve him with the whole Heart and to obey him intirely therefore he must put off this whole Nature and be cloat●ed an●w which is the 〈◊〉 and narrow way of C●rcumcision and then that Light or Eternal Law written in his Heart will direct him to live holily before God and uprightly towards men Man being a sensible Creature as well as rational is in both capacities
