something and the contrary Elements are the nothing The nothing is become something by the word of God and the something will become nothing again when at last the word is taken away Although the contrary Elements were once nothing yet in the Creation they are a Principle along because they were made which were not afore and are of God counted not evil but good because God did look upon them and hath covered and hid their Principle which was nothing yet concentred and fastened together Corporeal in and on the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil which must have stood there as a witness namely that the world was Created out of nothing yet this should be undiscovered and not ashamed that is it should not be broken namely that the shame of the whole world might not not stand ashamed before the face of all the world and for a confusion be quite dead and perish Now as long as the contrary Elements remained unknown and in their concentrated Center were not broken they are very good But so soon as they are known in their depths they are such a thing as puts the world to a shame and at last altogether doth consume it and reduceth it to nothing These contrary Elements are three Darkness as Corporeal Fire as Soulish and corruption as Spiritual yet Corruption before the fall was no Corruption but only an alteration not unto evil but unto good and a change and exchange of all Created things The Fire before the fall was not consuming but in its knowledge was good and useful In like manner darkness was very good and for a rest and refreshing to all Creatures but now it is an habitation to ill Spirits and as far as darkness in the air reacheth and goeth so far and high also in the air hath Satan his Dominion and Reign Ephes 22. Chap. 6 12. And so are the contrary Elements become hereditary to Satan through sin who is the Prince of darkness and Potentate of the fire and the fire over him and a principle and beginner of perdition Out of darkness Hell is harched which is threefold 1. Corporeal according to its place under the earth in the nethermost places Ephes 4. 9. Luke 16. 28. 1 Pet. 3. 19. 2. Soulish in the Reign of the Devil and Prince of darkness in high places 3 Spiritual in the Devil himself and his Children This Hell will be cast at last into the fiery Lake Out of the fire is produced an unquenchable ever burning Sulphur and such a consuming fiery flame which killeth life and yet always maketh death alive The Hellish fire is three fold in the Hell in the Devil and his Children and in the fiery Pool Out of this alteration or rather perdition is at last Death gotten which in its bodyliness is a cold fire and a fiery coldness According to the Soulishness a gnawing worm that continueth devoureth and never eateth yet always consumeth and still begetteth again According to the Spirit Death is the Devil himself essentially who hath begotten sin and sin hath begotten him the Devil Now darkness was good before the fall for light was hid therein which God commanded to come forth out of the darkness The fire also was good before the fall for life rested therein because no flame was burning in the fire nor was manifest The change and alteration was good also before the fall because love did shew it self therein by the increase of the Creatures Now since Light Life and Love include all therefore they were comprehended also in the contrary Elements but they were separated from the same and thrust out and parted through sin and so that which was very good became exceeding bad and turned good and evil to a contrary and adverse thing After the fall Hell and Death were begotten and the fire was made manifest Visible and Corporeal So that it went up into the height by Reason of sin so that by Gods permission and command it may fall down from Heaven upon the wicked world especially it doth lye in and on the fiery Cherub before the door of Paradise and guardeth the way to the Tree of Life but in the glorious and joyful coming of the great God Jesus Christ this fiery Cherub must be gone and come down and all contrary Elements must reduce to nothing that is they must no more Reign and also the Devil himself must from above be cast down taken Captive and in Prison must be bound a thousand years to the glorious liberty and Redemtion of the Creature from the Vanity Curse and Death where all things as they were Created will be renewed CHAP. IX Of the Principle or Original of that evil one and of the Angels BEfore this Elementary world was Created of God the Angels and the Angelical world and Paradise which were above the upper waters were first and that so certain as the nature was first before the Elements and God before all things Therefore always out of the upper things things beneath were gotten and the upper is always before that which is below even as the Spirit is first before the Soul and Body Now the Angels God hath called through his word out of the same light wherein God dwelleth after their spirit for that end that they should serve him and hath presented them in the fiery flame after the Soul and as a wind after their body Now the Angels being out of the light wherein God dwelleth therefore they can know on in and out of the same what Gods command is and this light is the face of God in Heaven a spiritual food of the Angels which light the Angel of the Children may behold whereas on the contrary the Angels of sinful men may not behold it until the sinner doth true repentance then his Angel may appear again before that light and before the face of the Lord of which there is great joy among the other Angels But as long as the sinner doth not repent so long appeareth the Devil before God and accuseth the sinner day and night before him Now amongst God ' Angels ●ucifer was the chief for he carryed the 〈…〉 clear morning Star which was and is the son of 〈◊〉 but he was not content with that great Honour and Dignity but would fain have been Lord and God himself and no more a servant This coveting was in Lucifer gotten by an ill look and eye toward God inflamed within himself in the same fiery flame out of which the Angels after their Soul are and that so much and heavy that the light did depart in his Spirit from Lucifer and instead thereof an unspeakable great darkness came out of the fire which Lucifer himself had kindled and so instead of Heaven a Hell it self So the fiery flame unknown to Lucifer undiscovered and hid was blown up by himself out of envy and grudgings so that it turned to an essential anger yea to a consuming fire wherein at first did rest the life but was

there is no darkness but yet there is fire This Angelical fire is an Excretion of the light out of which the spirit of the ●ngels is and this fire also in the beginning and before the fall hath been a quiet and unknown fire and very good because it was and is the soul of the Light in the Angels But after the fall it was manifest known and turn'd to a flame and such a one wherein the raging anger of God doth rest in which all Gods Judgments do consist and come out of the same This fire now in the Angels with its rage anger and consuming flame is not evil at all but a just fire of Gods justice to punish the wicked All anger rage and judgment proceed out of the Angelical world as also the Law which was promulgated with fire Exod. 20. Acts 7. 53 38. Gal. 3. 19. Heb. 2. 2. Of the Devils fire was spoken above More things could be said of the fire which for brevity sake we omit CHAP. XII Out of what wherein and wher by all things good and bad do subsist pass away and yet how they last for ever ALthough our knowing and prophesying be but part yet we will not quench the spirit and we are not to despise prophesying And the Reader in the Lord may know that we have our wisdom be it about natural things or spiritual learned out of the Holy Scripture and not out of pro hane writings for the Bible is sufficient to us to all wisdom and we used in 24 years no other book to find out wisdom but the Bible Out of this book the spirit of wisdom through the anointing can teach us all things and needs no other spirit or man to teach us Every thing in a word subsists only by Salt they perish without it and in the same and it lasteth for ever in them both good and bad There is a threefold salt namely a Divine Angelical and Elementary All must be seasoned with salt if it shall last good and salt is the most noble and wholsomest Balm the best preservative and Conservative the highest strengthening The salt of the Divine world is a true light a Spirit and VVater from above whereby we are illuminated breathed on and baptized yea seasoned and salted that the hellish may have no power over us For every one must be seasoned with fire and must be tried with fire who and what doth subsist in it that is blessed else it is nothing at all Mark 9. 49 50. 1 Cor. 13. 14. The salt of the Angelical world is a quick life in its glory concentred of God into the Tree of Life which when it shall be broken at the glorious coming of Jesus Christ then all Created things in Heaven and Earth in this Elementary world he will so gloriously and powerfully season with salt that they shall be freed and redeemed from sin Curse Death Devil Vanity Pain and Misery and that will be a noble food at that great Supper of which as of an Angelical and Coelestial Manna all flesh that is all Created things and whole Creatures shall eat and drink and feed And then also shall be put away the sharp bitter sowre consuming devouring perishing and ●o nothing reducing salt of the contrary Element it shall dye and to its place be separated Of the elementary salt we have spoken already above There is another salt also of the contrary element which is threefold namely in the Earth Sea and Air The salt of the contrary element is a sharp devouring consuming salt and reigneth in all Creatures and is always mixed with the good salt which in the consuming sharp salt is held Captive and can no sooner be set at liberty till that which holds it Captive be drowned and killed by a cold fire which is a water above mentioned This Salt now is predominant chiefly in the Minerals of the Earth in the Mineral Salts as common Salt Vitriol Saltpeter Alume Salmoniak c. and is as it were fixed in this In all Sulphur especially in the common Sulphur the Salt of the contrary Elements is flying But he that can make it fixed with a cold fire hath a more precious thing then Gold is But what is more abused then Saturn Saltpeter and Sulphur They shoot it into the Air being so precious O malice and wickedness of men Is it not so that God hath made choice of things which the world holds to be ignoble foolish and rejected and base Lastly in all Arsenicks is the Salt of the contrary Elements essential and spiritual True it is a right Poison but having an essence why should not some thing be hidden in it It must be carefully and purely killed with a cold fire and be reduced to a new noble birth It is to be observed by the by that every Lee especially that of quicklime is a cold fire and that same in the unmature Metals that have yet their Sulphur Mercury and Arsenick may doubtless be of good use especially in some Iron or Copper Mines in which the Sulphur of Sol the glory of Gold sufficiently appeareth for the flying must through a fixed be made firm and glorious And truly herein is more hid then the world believes Now in the Salt is both life and death And as good things have their Salt so have bad and both are firm the good therefore because the life is in it and the bad also therefore because there is both life and death in it For what death killeth with extream coldness that life reviveth again by fire Therefore the fire is the life in the Devil and his Children and the cold is death But it is such a life which is not of God nor out of the light and love but out of the Devil himself out of darkness and anger which is with unspeakable torment anguish pain misery The Salt in the Sea is a soulish Salt raging and furious of which something may be said because a Mystery is hid in it it shineth also in its fire and is a Sulphurious light so that it may be seen Lastly the Salt in the Air is essential and Arsenical and poisoneth things on Earth man beasts and fruits c. These three sorts of Salt of the contrary element are made known after the fall therefore we must separate Salt from Salt that is good from bad to reject bad and embrace that which is good In the end all bad things fall to the Devils share especially the contrary elements with their Salt which maketh up the fiery pools devouring and gnawning and yet not consuming living for ever yet not alive but dead dyeth for ever and yet never liveth And thus it hath rightly the name of a contrary element CHAP. XIII Of the Creation of the World NOw having known the Principles in their subordinates and the Center concentrated both in and on the Elements as also in the contrary elements thence we may observe how all things are Created by the word and then to know

As Augurellus and others testifie In Gold is the seed of Gold And even the same may be said of Lune when 't is a Masculine And their Mercury is the ground of both and contains all three and is the Earth in which it is sown and from whence it takes its original and is of their own Nature But this must be living Gold or Silver and not the common Gold or Silver which are Dead or the common fowl Quick silver And indeed these are more universal cheap common and easie to be had then most men even some Philosophers do think which caused Ingenious and Learned Taulodanus to write against the Subject of that worthy old Philosopher Bracescus though both true Philosophers and their several Subjects true and this made Claveus in his Chrysopeia and Argyropeia to doubt of some of Lullie's Processes For these Principles are to be found in one subject and in divers having a Golden Nature as Dunstan Arnold Guido Ripley Raimund Glauber and others do testi●e and more ways are to the Wood then one For out of every or any particular Metallick or Mineral Species may by due Philosophick preparation be extracted the subject for the Philosophers Stone and every Chymical work called particular may by purification good preparation sutable fixation volatisation and exaltation be made a universal work for Multiplication Nay out of every Element and Principle of and in Nature and almost every abject thing whatsoever may be extracted a Sulphurous Sol Lune or Mercury enlivened for the Philosophers work And St. Devogius affirms that the said first matter of Philosophers is easier to be touched with the hand then discerned or found by subtilty of Wit or Sophistick imaginations and saith he told it the Process literally to some who nevertheless had not confidence therein for the meanness of the same and therefore left it without trial And certainly the Antecedent and Primordial Ens Auri is in every Element and Principle the which are never so simple but out of each the other may

of the changing at the coming of Christ and according to the Jewel of the Heavenly calling all these that are partakers of it receive an An elical body life and spirit therewith they enter into Paradise and the Angelical world and will be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 like to the Angels Mat. 22. 30. Mark 12. 25. Luke 20. 36. Each body of man also the soul and spirit are nourished and preserved from that from which they come and are taken as the Elementary body out of Water and Earth the soul out of Wind and Air and the spirit out of Heaven and go again into the same when they are dissolved According to the Elementariness there is a threefold body in man whilst he liveth out of Water and Earth when he is dead out of wind earth till the Resurrection when he riseth out of Spirit Light and Heaven and know that every Element hath its proper body life and spirit Further Gods Holy ones rest after they depart in the Elementary part in the Earth Grave or where they are deceased So Samuel was heard out of that place of his Grave where he deceased to pronounce a ruine to the rejected King Saul According to the Angelical part they rest in Abrahams bosom which are the Chambers of the Just in the high Heaven But according to the divine part they are in Paradise of all three the Scripture testifieth clearly Lastly Infidels come to Hell and Prison with all except the dead body But those that have sinned against the Holy Ghost and have no pardon for it neither in this nor in the other world are buried in the Death because they have committed a deadly sin All the dead rise incorruptible that is in a Spiritual and Coelestial body But what glory or shame every body shall receive shall be known after the general judgment is past CHAP. XVIII Of the Image of God after which Man is Created THat man is Created after Gods Image is manifest out of Scripture Gen. 1. 26 27. Jam. 3. 9. But only this is the question what this Image is after which Man is Created Every Creature or Beast are made after their own Kind and Image but Man only after Gods Image This Image is Christ 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 essentially bodily the Image of the invisible God Col. 5. 15 For God is a Spirit and and may not be felt nor seen unless it be in his essential substance and substantial essence Even as Man in his true Manhood after which he is distinguished from all other living Souls a Spirit or Spiritual in and on his Spiritual Soul and Mans Spirit cannot be seen felt or known otherwise then in his body in which he dwelleth with all his fulness So the invisible God who is a Spirit cannot be seen or known but in Christ and his substantial body as in which God the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost together with the whole fulness of the Godhead dwelleth bodily John 14 9. 1 John 1. Col. 2. 9. And this is the Spiritual Adam a quickening Spirit the Heavenly Man the Lord out of Heaven 1 Cor. 15. 45 47. The Image of God is threefold Namely 1. the Image of the Essence essentially after man is his own Image in his own proper Essence and Body So Christ also is the essential and bodily Image in God even as Mans body in Man and so is God in Christ as Man is in his body his own essential self-subsisting bodily and personal Image 2. The Image of that form on the outward appearance of that form Face and Members 3. The Image of the living properties Power or what name soever it may be called Here is manifest the Mystery of the Image of God and that God in Christ and Christ in God was much sooner a Man then we for we are in all things fashioned after him and so his counterfeit Christ the Image of God and Man who is out of Gods Image and honour are thus distinguished Namely 1. As the Image and Essence 2. As Essence and Essence 3. As Spiritual Heavenly and Divine and as Soulish Terrestrial and from beneath that is as Adam and Adam Man and Man and as above and beneath The Soulish Adam is not an Image of God after the Essence as Christ Reason because his Essence is Terrestrial and from beneath but in and on that Terrestrial body only that Image in that manner as a counterfeit and that in a Terrestrial soulish Essence from beneath out of the Earth So is the Soulish Adam and Terrestrial Man an Image of the Spiritual Adam and Heavenly man as a stony wooden or Image of Wax of a living mans Image is not in humane Essence on the Flesh and Bloud but in another being Now as Essence and Essence are one distinct from another so is frame and frame 1 The inward form of God is the most holy Godhead which with all fulness dwelleth bodily in Christ Of this form man hath received the Breath of the Almighty in a Heavenly Soul to his inward essential form and true Manhood 2. The bodily visible palpabl and personal form of God essentially in which God personally appeared and personally was made manifest is the flesh of the word the body of Christ After this man hath a body of flesh bloud and bones but not Divine Spiritual and Heavenly but Soulish Terrestrial and from beneath 3. The manifest face 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and looks and presence on the head body and all Members and their Powers and strength After this also is Man framed and thus to be looked on in which consideration many Mysteries may be observed although the spirit of Errour saith as if God had no Head Eyes Ears Face Nose Mouth no Hands nor Feet because he is a Spirit which rather befalls those Spirits of Errour he hath Eyes and seeth not neither acknowledgeth the Image of God in Christ and in Man hath Ears and heareth not and a Heart and understandeth nothing Further Man is made after Gods similitude and is like unto God Namely 1. on the Heavenly Soul Eternal and Immortal and thence he is of God 2. Like in Power that he can do much namely after his part measure and weight 3. Like in Glory as a God over all other Creatures a Lord and Ruler Good Reader here you must know and observe that this great Mystery doth manifest here and Bringeth along the right Jehior let it be light the day of the Revelation of the Son of Man of which Christ saith expresly Luke 17. 22. c. On which the the Son of man is revealed and that this is the Revelation and appearance of Jesus Christ of whom the Holy Apostles have prophesied 1 Pet. 1. 7. 5. 1 Tim. 6. 14. 16. ● Joh. 2. 28. Tit. 2. 13. 2 Tim 4. 8. 2 Thes 2. 8. Thus The Revelation or appearance of the coming is clearly distinguished Mal. 3. Mat. 24. 30. And chiefly Rev. 12. He that hath Eyes let
