To the Unprejudiced Reader READER TWo things especially I intreat thee to consider in these following Poems First thou art to know that the Works o●… the Author G.

Creatures seeing its Prince was cast out God created Adam another Hirarch out of this good Ens to be a ruler of this place and hence came the Devil's envy against man and all good Creatures of this world The first Free-will which was breathed into Adam was good indeed it was both from God's love and anger viz. from the centre of the eternal pregnatress of the eternal spiritual Nature but it had the unde●…standing in it to rule and govern it self so as it might stand and sub●…st eternally But the crafty distemper or infection introduced by the Devil was in the ●…ns of the Earth whence or whereof Adam●… outward Body was framed Into this earthly ●…ns the D●…vil brought his desire by the Serpents cr●…fty E●…s So that the Lubet arose in the Ens of the Body whereinto the first free-will of the inspired Soul e●…tred and assumed the Lubet of the Body and introduced this Lubet into a Desire or Substance And out of this Substance another self-ful VVill did now arise viz. a B●…stard a false Serpent-Child and this B●…stard A●…am did originally propagate to his Eve and Eve to her So●… Cain and so one man to another thu●… we have now in this earthly ●…lesh this same false will proce●…ded from the Serpent's substance whereunto the Devil intro●…th his D●…sire and tempteth us and co●…tinually mak●…th us lust and long after the devilish Property viz. Pride 〈◊〉 E●…vy and Anger Thus the Devil rideth in and upon Body and Soul of man but now the ●…irst in●…roduced Free-will which God ●…reathed into Adam lieth yet in all m●…n For it is the true real Soul the centre of the Fire and Light a spark of the divine Power and Om●…ipotence but wholly hem●…d in and cap●…ivated in this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For Prince Luc fer by his false Imagination had tainted the Limus of the Earth before the Comp●…ction or Crea●…n it was the place of his Hirarchies now the ou●…ward Body of m●…n was ●…ken out of the Limus of the Earth in the Verbum Fiat and formed ac●…rding to the property of the hum●…n Life which was in the Word Thus Adam'●… Fl●…sh was half Earthly and half heavenly wh●…nce he lusted 〈◊〉 the Comm●… and VVill of God this is as Paul saith The Flesh lusteth against the Spirit and the Spirit against the ●…lesh Adam's Spirit also ●…y the Imagination hath brought a Power into the Earth and so the Matrix of Nature gave him what he would have He must be tempted to try whether he would stand an Angel instead of Lucifer and therefore God created him not barely an Angel so that if he should fall and not stand ●…e might help him So that he might not perish in the fierce Wrath as Lucifer did there●…ore he was created out of Matter and his Spirit introduced into the Matter viz. into a Sulpher of Water and Fire that God might again exgene●…ate a new Life unto him as a fair pleasant smelling Blossom springing out of the Earth For God saw very well according to the property of hi●… Wrath that man would fall but he would bring him again through and in the Name Jesus through the corruptibl●… Death into the royal Kingdom whence Lueifer was fallen in whose stead the man Christ God and Man in one person should sit as Hirarch High-Priest or the great Prince of men ●…oor man did not fall out of a resolved purposed Will but through the poysonous venomous Infection of the Devil else there ●…ad been no remedy for him Neither hath ma●… brought the Maligni●…y and Venom into the Birds ●…easts Worms Stones Vegetables and all Creatures bu●… Lucifer hath made the house of Love to be a house of eternal Enmity the house of Light to be a house of Darkness c. otherwise if man had brought Malignity and Wrath into all Creatures then he could never have looked for Mercy at God's hands no more then the Devil Adam did not desire to prove the first Principle as Lucifer had done but his lust was only bent to taste to prove Evi●… and Good viz. the vanity of the Earth the ou●…ward Soul was awakened so that the hunger entred into its Mother where from it was drawn and introduced into another Source And when this Hunger entred to eat of Evil and Good then the desire in the ●…ait drew forth the Tree of Temptation and set it before Adam then came the severe Command from God Thou shalt not eat of the Tree of the Knowledges of Good and Evil in that day thou eatest there of thou shalt dye the Death But that Moses saith The Tree of Life stood in the midst of the Garden and presently next after setteth down and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil Here lieth the Vail before Moses his Eyes and the earthly sinful man cannot behold him The precious Pearl lieth in the knowledge of the difference of these two Trees and yet it is but only one but manifest in two Kingdoms He saith the Tree of Life thereby he understandeth the Property of the eternal Life in the Tree viz. the second Principle and by the Words of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil he understandeth the wrath of the Anger of God which was manifest by the Essence of the outward World in earthliness in the Tree of which Adam should not eat for he should have eaten with the inward Mouth and not with the earthly Desire but with the heavenly for he had such Fruit growing for him which the inward Mouth could enjoy indeed the outward Mouth did also eat thereof but not into the Worms Carkess for as the Light swalloweth up the Darkness so the Coelestial swallowed up the Terrestrial and changeth it again into that whence it proceeded Adam was a man and also a Woman and yet none of them distinct but a Virgin full of Chastity Modesty and Purity viz. the Image of God he had both the Tinctures of the Fire and Light in him in the Conjunction of which the one Love viz. the Virginal centre stood being the fair Paradisical Rose-Garden of delight wherein he loved himself as we also in the Resurrection of the Dead shall be such as Christ telleth us That we shall be like the Angels of God yet not only pure Spirit as the Angels but in heavenly Bodies in which the spiritual angelical Body inhabiteth even such a man as Adam was before his Eve shall arise again and eternally possess Paradise not a man or woman but as the Scripture saith they are Virgins Adam before his Eve had no●… such a beastial Body as 〈◊〉 now have For if God had created him unto the earthly corruptible naked sick toilsom Lise then he had not brought him ●…to Paradise if he had desired or willed the beastial Cou●…ulation and Propagation then he would in the beginning ●…ve created Man and Woman and both Sexes had come ●…orth in the Verbum Fiat into the division of both Tin●…ures as it was in other

In Popery much iugling ●…ath been invented about this in saying Mass for a Soul and that for Money only but 〈◊〉 hath been a great Cheat of the Pope of Babel for ther●… is earnestness required to wresile with the anger of God and overcome it Yet we confess and acknowledge readily that the Churc●… of Christ hath great power to ransom such a Soul if 〈◊〉 fervency and earnestness it do it as it was done in the Primitive Church when they had holy People and holy Priests who performed their Ministry in real earnestness They indeed effected somewhat but not in such a way as the Pope boasteth of saying That he hath the Key and that he can let out a Soul with 〈◊〉 Blessing when he will if a man will give him Money This is a Lye. VVhether separated Souls take care of human matters FIrst those Souls which yet have not attained Heaven and so stick in the Source in the Principle in the Birth those have yet the human Essence wi●…h the Works in them they diligently search out 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And therefore many of them come again with the 〈◊〉 ●…irit and wander up and down in their ●…ouses and places 〈◊〉 abode and ●…ar in a human Shape desire this and that ●…nd often times take care about their Wills or Tesiaments ●…nd also think to procure the blessing of the Saints that they 〈◊〉 rest and if their earthly A●…airs do still stick in them 〈◊〉 take care many times also about thei●… Children Friends This condition of theirs con●…ueth so long till they fall into their Rest and till their 〈◊〉 Spirits be consumed then all such doings cares and 〈◊〉 are at an end and they also have no more knowledge thereof but that they see them in the wonders in the Magick After this sort are once received into Grace they take no care purposely about human earthly M●…rs but 〈◊〉 the ●…eavenly Matters which are brought to it by the Spirit of 〈◊〉 and rejoyceth in them But there is somewhat still behind which is this A living man hath such power that his is able with his Spirit to go in●…o Heaven to the seperated Souls and stir them up about some Question by a 〈◊〉 desire but it must be earnest it must be Faith that must break open a Principle And this we see in Samuel the Pr●… whom the King of ●…ael raised up that he might make his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to him though it seem otherwise to some of whom we may well say 〈◊〉 they are blind and void of Knowledge 〈◊〉 they speak but their own scholastick Fables and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 about that they have no knowledge of in the Spirit And these are Babel Now secondly the other sort which sink into Death without a Body they are wholly in one and the same place of the Principle in which the first sort are which afterwards did sink down in themselves All these take no evil Affairs upon them wherein the Turba sticketh But when the honest Souls which are alive send them their Works with their Spirit and Will they rejoyce in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 are so a●…able that they appear to men a●…lly in 〈◊〉 and shew them good wayes and many times reveal 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 lie in secret viz. in the Ab●… of the Soul. Thus know that no Soul separated from the Body 〈◊〉 into any wicked matter except it be a damned Soul which indeed entreth in magically and hath its joy therein 〈◊〉 teacheth most notorious vile Pranks in Dreams for it is 〈◊〉 servant of the Devil and whatsover a wicked man desireth that the devil readily helpeth him to for he can do it better by the Soul of a man then of himself for he is too crude and terrifieth the Magia so that the elementary Spirit 〈◊〉 astonished and awakneth the Body Also this you must know that all is done magically in th●… Will without awakning of the Source No Soul 〈◊〉 with its Ess●…nces of its own accord to please man unless man raise and disturb it himself There are many Villanies in Negromancy which ca●… many times vex and torment the Spirits of men but it 〈◊〉 do so to no Soul that is cloathed with Christ's essentiality for that Soul is free The third sort of seperated Souls which are in Abraham's bosom in Christ having the heavenly essentiality none 〈◊〉 stir except they will themselves as when they have a favour to a Soul that is like themselves also they take no earthly thing upon them except it make for the Glory of God and then they are restless to reveal something in a Magical way But then they let no Turba into them neither do they intercede with God for us but whatsoever cometh to them they rejoyce in it with the Angels for the Angels rejoyce at a Sinner that repenteth then much more the Souls Why should they pray to God for us it lieth not in their Prayer but in 〈◊〉 entring into God when he strongly turneth his Will to God then God's Spirit h●…lpeth him without Prayers Of the Resurrection and also of the end of Time. WHen the last Day shall begin to dawn then the Deity manifesteth it self once more and that is the third time in all Forms in Love and Anger and then all things together at once shall be plainly laid open in the sight of all Creatures Now here is the End of Time for then the beginning 〈◊〉 found the end and the end is then the beginning and 〈◊〉 again into that which it was from Eternity If we knew certainly the 〈◊〉 of the sixth Day wherein 〈◊〉 Creation was finished we could then set you down the ●…ear and Day we mean the last Day for it goeth not a Minuit further it hath its limit hid in the inward Circle Therefore know for certain that the Time is near for 〈◊〉 the sixth day Afternoon the Rest of the eternal Day began ●…nd therefore God instituted the Sabboth of the seventh Day for a Rest and an everlasting Remembrance And as the Rest began on the 〈◊〉 Day towards the Evening and the entrance to the manifestation of the Works of the Creation the end then taketh in the beginning again and the six Days stood thus in the Circle as a wonder so know that ye were created in Paradise and yet are gone out from it into the spirit of wrathfulness into Death which hath now wrought its Wonders in you these 5500 Years and upwards And now the End hath found the Beginning again and yo shall see also feel and find what Paradis●… hath been even every one of them that shall be born in God. But the middle with the Wonders which were manifested in the time continueth forever more in the beginning and in the end as an eternal middle with its Wonders viz. with the Angels and Men and their Essences as also the figures of all Creatures all that hath been essential at any time the Earth with its Metals also Stones and all material Substances 〈◊〉 Trees

the Fire and the fire the ●…ather of the Blood. And as God dwelleth in the world and filleth all things and yet possesseth nothing And as the fi●…e dwelleth in the water and yet poss●…sseth it not Also as the Light dwelleth in Darkness and yet possesseth not the Darkness As the Day is in the Night and the Night in the Day Time in Eternity and ●…ternity in Time so is man created according to the outward Humanity he is the Time and in the Time and the Time is the outward world and it is also the outward man. The inward man is Eternity and the spiri●…ual Time and VVorld which also consisteth of Light and Darkness viz. of the Love of God. as to the eternal Light and of the Anger of God as to the eternal Darkness which soever of these are man●…fest in him his Spirit dwelleth in that be it Light or Darkness for Light and Darkness are both in him Now if the Light be made manifest in the Darkness then the Darkness loseth its darkness and is not known or discern●…d Also on the contrary if the Darkness arise in the Light and get the upper-hand then the Light and the power thereof is extinguished this is to ●…e consi●…ered also in man. The eternal darkness of the Soul is Hell viz. an aking Source of anguish which is called the anger of God But the eternal Light in the Soul is the Kingdom of Heaven where the fiery anguish of Darkness is turned into Joy thus the Soul hath Heaven and Hell in it self Of Tincture BY the word Tincture is meant the power and virtue of Fire and Light and the stirring up or putting forth like a Bud of this virtue is called the holy and pure Element the virtue of the Sun is the Tincture of all things that grow in the visibility of the world so also the Colour is the Tincture of the Ground Christ is the Tincture of the Soul in brief the Tincture is the Life and the perflu●…nt and informing Vi●…tue by which any thing doth sub●…ist for without the Tincture that proceedeth from the Sun Gold were no Gold And so also the Image of God in the S●…l without the true Tincture the eternal Son of Righteousness were not the Image of God. Of the great Turba THe great Turba or Turba Magna is the stirred and awakned wrath of the inward ground when the foundation of Hell is made manifest in the Spirit of this world from whence great Plagues Diseases arise and it is also the awakned wrath of the outward Nature as may be seen in great tempests of Thunder and Lightning when the Fire is manifested or generated in Water In brief it is the effusion of the anger of God by which Nature is disturbed Often times the Children of God have been forced to carry the Sword of the Turba in them a great example whereof we see in Sampson and also in Joshua with his Wars and likewise in Abraham and many other Prophets how the zeal of God did enkindle it self in them that they in the Spirit of Zeal have often-times awakned the Turba Magna in the anger of God and raised great Rebukes Judgments and Plagues upon whole Countries as Moses in Egypt did with his Plagues upon the Egyptians But we must here distinguish if the Zeal of God should awaken it self in an holy man without his purposed Will and give him the Sword of God's Anger such a one desires much from those who in their own thoughts contrive and plot in the wrath and introduce the conceived or purposed Will into the Serpent's Ens and make it to Substance for that is Sin yea though the most holy man Prophet or Apostle should do it Therefore Christ so empathetically and punctually teacheth us in the new-birth Love Humility and Meekness and would that a Christian should not at all Revenge also not be Angry for he saith Whosoever is angry with his Brother is guilty of the Judgment ●…or anger is a conception in the Serpent's Ens which must be cut off by the Judgment of God from the good beeing All War howsoever blanched over and under what pretence soever taketh its original out of God's Anger It doth not belong to any true Christian born of Christ to raise the Sword of the Turba unless the zealous Spirit of God do ●…tir it up in him who often will rebuke Sin whatsoever exalts its self in the wrath about it●… own Honour and Pride and brings it self to Revenge or Blood-shed is from the Devil Earthly Dominion and Government hath its original from the fall in the Serpent's craft All War and Contention doth arise out of the nature and property of the dark world viz. from the four Elements of the Anger of God which produceth in the Creature Pride Cov●…tousness Envy and Anger these are the four Elements of the dark world wherein the Devil and all evil Creatures live and from these four Elements aris●…th ●…ar For although God bad the People of Israel drive out the 〈◊〉 and wage VVar yet the command was wholly from the angry 〈◊〉 od viz. from the ●…ire's Property for the 〈◊〉 had stirred up the VVrath and Indignation which would devour them But God so far as he is called 〈◊〉 wills not any VVar but the kingdom of Nature in Gods Anger willeth it SOund Sion sound the Praises of thy King Let 〈◊〉 well 〈◊〉 Instrument honour bring To him for Sion thou right-well dost know The Gentiles and their I●…ol-Gods must bow And bend unto thy King or br●… must be For none's like Sion's God in Majestie Then Sion's Sons your Instruments prepare With strained Strings most ex●… rare And sweetly 〈◊〉 with Mus●… 〈◊〉 most sharp Our God's renown and praise 〈◊〉 to harp Since from his Hand abundantly your Souls Have drunk Salvation up like Wine in Bowls And made you eat of Mercies numberless And clo●…'d you with Compassions in distress And let his Glory be your Meditations And his high Honour all your Contemplations For such effects will sure produc●… increase Of joy and gladness joyn'd to endless peace For how can Stones but speak With Iron Steel and Brass And Adamants but break At what is come to pass And sound in one set ●…ur Forth shouts of his renown Whose Glory and mighty Power Eternity doth crown For hath not he made Owls With Moles and Bats to sing Like as the chanting Fowls Harmonious tunes in Spring And Eagles he and she Made both to loath their Pey Two Turtle Doves to be In Shiloa's shining day And hath not he the Bear The Panther and the Lyon In substance made appear Like Lambs in holy Sion And by his Mercy rich Transformed the Serpent's ●…ing Into a virtue which From Death to Life doth bring And made of Rocks a Fountain And Stones refreshing Streams And of a Grain a Mountain And darkness Orions Beams And made of puddle-mire A limpid Pond of pleasure Where Fishes joys as Fire Ascend exceeding measure He turn'd
