A64768	Magia adamica or the antiquitie of magic, and the descent thereof from Adam downwards, proved. Whereunto is added a perfect, and full discoverie of the true cœlum terræ, or the magician's heavenly chaos, and first matter of all things. By Eugenius Philalethes.	Vaughan, Thomas, 1622-1666.	1650 (1650)	Wing V151; ESTC R203905	72,517	175

full Harmonie between Moses and the Cabalists But to omit their Depositions though great and high we are not to seek in this point for the Testimonie of an Angel For the Tutor of Esdras amongst his other Mysterious Instructions hath also this Doctrine When Adam transgressed my Statutes then was that decreed which now is done Then were the Entrances of this World made Narrow full of sorrow and Travell They are but few and Evill full of perils and very painfull But the Entrances of the Elder World were wide and sure and brought forth Immortal Fruit Thus much for the Curse it self Now for the Latitude of it It is true that it was intended Chiefely for Man who was the only Cause of it but Extended to the Elements in Order to him and for his sake For if God had excluded him from Eden and Continued the Earth in her Primitive Glories he had but turned him out of one Paradise into Another wherefore he fits the Dungeon to the Slave and sends a Corruptible Man into a Corruptible World But in Truth it was not Man nor the Earth alone that suffered in this Curse but all other Creatures also For saith God to the Serpent Thou art Cursed above all Cattel and above every Beast of the Field so that Cattel and Beasts also were cursed in some measure but this Serpent above Them all To this also agrees the Apostle in his Epistle to the Romans where he hath these words For the Creature was made subject to Vanitie not willingly but by Reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope Because the Creature it self also shall be delivered from the Bondage of Corruption into the Glorious Liberty of the Children of God Here by the Creature he understands not Man but the inferior species which he distinguisheth from the Children of God though he allows them both the same Liberty But this is more plaine out of the subsequent Texts where he makes a clear Difference between Man and the whole Creation For we know saith he that the whole Creation groaneth and travaileth together in paine untill now And not only They but our selves also which have the first fruits of the spirit even we our selves groane within our selves waiting for the Adoption to wit the Redemption of our Body Here we see the first Fruits of the spirit referred to Man and why not some second subordinat fruits of it to the Creatures in General for as they were cursed in the Fall of Man for Man's sake so it seems in his Restitution they shall be also blessed for his sake But of this enough Let us now summe up and consider the several inconveniences our first Parent was Subject to for they will be of some use with us hereafter First of all he was ejected from the presence of God and exposed to the Malice and Tentations of the Devill He was altered from Good to Bad from Incorruptible to Corruptible In the Day saith the Scripture Thou eatest thereof Thou shalt dye the Death He was excluded from a glorious Paradyse and confin'd to a base world whose sickly infected Elements conspiring with his own Nature did assist and hasten that Death which already began to reign in his Body Heaven did mourn over him The Earth and all her Generations about him He look'd upon himself as a Felon and a Murtherer being guilty of that Curse and Corruption which succeeded in the world because of his fall as we have sufficiently proved out of the Mosaicall and Cabalisticall Traditions He was Ignorant and therefore hopeles of Life aeternal and for this Temporal present Life he was not acquainted with the Provisions of it The Elements of Husbandrie were not as yet known there was neither House nor Plow nor any of those manuall Arts which make up a worldly providence He was exposed to the Violence of Rains and Winds Frosts and Snows and in a word deprived of all Comforts Spiritual and Natural What should I say more He was a meer stranger in this World could not distinguish Medicines from Poysons neither was he skill'd in the ordinarie praeparations of Meate and Drink He had no Victuals ready to his hands but the crude unseasoned Herbage of the Earth so that he must either starve or feed as Nebuchadnezar did with the Beasts of the Field He heard indeed sometimes of a Tree of Life in Eden but the Vegetables of this world for ought he knew might be so many Trees of Death I conclude therefore that he had some Instructor to initiat him in the wayes of Life and to shew him the intricate and narrow paths of that wilderness For without question his outward Miseries and his inward Despaire were Motives whereupon God did reveale a certaine Art unto Him by which he might relieve his present Necessities and imbrace a firme Hope of a future and glorious Restitution For God having ordained a second aeternal Adam did by some mysterious Experience manifest the possibilitie of his comming to the First Who being now full of Despaire and overcharged with the Guilt of his own sin was a very fit Patient for so Divine and mercifull a Physician But omitting our own Reasons which we might produce to this purpose let us repayre to the Cabalists who indeed are very high in the Point and thus they deliver themselves God say they having made fast the Doores of his Paradyse and turn'd out Adam sometimes the Dearest of his Creatures did notwithstanding the Present Punishment retaine his former Affection towards him still For God is said to love his Creatures not that there is any thing lovely in Them without their Creator but in that hee desires their perfection That is to say he would have them Conformable to himself and fitt to receive his Image or Similitude which is a spiritual Impress of his Beauty Now to restore this Similitude in Adam was impossible unlesse God should reassume that to himself which was now fallen from him So transcendent and almost incredible a Mercie had God treasur'd up in his secret Will being resolved to unite the Nature of Man to his Own and so vindicat him from Death by taking him into the Deitie which is the true Fountain and Center of Life This Will say the Cabalists was first revealed to the Angels and that by God himself in these words Ecce Adam sicut unus ex Nobis Behold an Adam like one of us knowing Good and Euill This speech they call Orationem occultissimam à Creatore Mundi cum beatis Angelis in suae Divinitatis Penetralibus habitam A most secret Conference which God had with the blessed Angels in the Inner-Chambers of Heaven Now that the same Scripture should speak one thing in the Letter and another in the Mysterie is not strange to mee how difficult soever it may seem to another For verily this Text may not concern the first Adam who knowing Evill by Committing it could not be like God in respect of that
