A76959	The tree of Christian faith: being a true information, how a man may be one spirit with God, and what man must do to perform the works of God: in which is comprehended (compendiously) the whole Christian doctrine and faith. Item, what faith and doctrine is: an open gate of the great mystery of God out of the divine Magia, through the three principles of the divine being. / Written in High Dutch by Jacob Behmen.; Baum des christlichen Glaubens.

the_o noble_a image_n of_o god_n appear_v 73._o and_o we_o understand_v herein_o that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n must_v enter_v into_o god_n will_n and_o then_o he_o enter_v into_o christ_n death_n with_o christ_n soul_n through_o death_n into_o the_o eternal_a freedom_n of_o god_n into_o the_o life_n of_o light_n and_o there_o be_v he_o with_o christ_n in_o god_n 74._o and_o the_o three_o form_n of_o life_n be_v the_o external_a create_a life_n out_o of_o this_o world_n as_o out_o of_o the_o sun_n star_n and_o element_n 75._o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n breathe_v into_o adam_n nostril_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o macrocosm_n where_o he_o become_v also_o a_o external_a soul_n which_o move_v in_o blood_n and_o water_n and_o burn_v in_o the_o outward_a kindle_a fire_n as_o in_o a_o warmth_n 76._o that_o same_o external_a life_n shall_v not_o reach_v into_o the_o image_n in_o the_o inner_a life_n neither_o shall_v the_o image_n let_v it_o come_v into_o the_o inner_a light_n which_o appear_v through_o death_n and_o spring_v up_o with_o his_o power_n in_o the_o eternal_a freedom_n for_o the_o external_a life_n be_v only_o a_o similitude_n of_o the_o inner_a life_n 77._o the_o inner_a spirit_n be_v only_o to_o reveal_v in_o the_o external_a mirror_n the_o eternal_a wonder_n which_o be_v see_v in_o god_n wisdom_n in_o the_o abyss_n in_o the_o divine_a magia_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o formal_a mirror_n as_o to_o a_o wonderful_a game_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o inner_a man_n bear_v out_o of_o god_n 78._o but_o his_o will_n shall_v not_o have_v go_v thereinto_o to_o draw_v the_o external_a wonder_n into_o the_o image_n as_o we_o now_o know_v in_o our_o misery_n how_o man_n draw_v a_o earthly_a treasure_n into_o the_o mind_n and_o imagine_v and_o thus_o destroy_v the_o pure_a image_n of_o god_n in_o the_o second_o principle_n 79._o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o will_n go_v into_o the_o earthly_a be_v but_o bring_v his_o love_n in_o which_o the_o image_n stand_v into_o the_o earthly_a be_v as_o into_o a_o earthly_a treasure_n into_o a_o earthly_a vessel_n 80._o now_o the_o image_n grow_v earthly_a through_o imagination_n and_o so_o go_v again_o into_o death_n lose_v god_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o will_n stand_v with_o the_o love_n in_o the_o external_a life_n 81._o now_o the_o external_a life_n must_v die_v and_o break_v that_o the_o create_a image_n of_o the_o inner_a kingdom_n may_v appear_v 82._o thus_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o will_n strike_v with_o the_o love_n into_o the_o external_a wonder_n and_o bring_v they_o at_o the_o death_n of_o the_o external_a life_n along_o before_o god_n judgement_n 83._o there_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o will_n must_v go_v through_o pass_v the_o fire_n and_o the_o image_n must_v be_v approve_v in_o the_o fire_n and_o all_o earthliness_n must_v burn_v away_o from_o the_o image_n she_o must_v be_v pure_a and_o without_o spot_n 84._o even_o as_o the_o light_n subsi_v in_o the_o fire_n so_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o will_n must_v subsist_v also_o in_o god_n fire_n and_o if_o it_o can_v there_o pass_v free_o through_o god_n fire_n than_o this_o image_n be_v spew_v out_o into_o eternal_a darkness_n 85._o and_o this_o be_v the_o heavy_a fall_n of_o adam_n that_o he_o do_v set_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o will_n into_o the_o external_a life_n into_o the_o outer_a principle_n in_o the_o false_a infection_n and_o imagine_v after_o the_o earthly_a life_n 86._o and_o thus_o he_o go_v out_o of_o paradise_n which_o spring_v up_o through_o death_n in_o the_o second_o principle_n in_o the_o outer_a and_o thus_o enter_v into_o death_n and_o thus_o he_o die_v and_o thus_o be_v his_o image_n destroy_v 87._o this_o by_o a_o inheritance_n we_o have_v from_o adam_n and_o from_o the_o second_o adam_n christ_n we_o have_v regeneration_n 88_o where_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o christ_n incarnation_n and_o with_o he_o into_o his_o death_n and_o from_o death_n with_o he_o spring_v up_o in_o the_o paradisical_a world_n in_o the_o entity_n of_o god_n freedom_n the_o six_o chapter_n 1._o thus_o we_o understand_v that_o lust_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o corruption_n be_v come_v in_o and_o still_o do_v 2._o for_o lust_n be_v a_o imagination_n where_o the_o imagination_n wind_v herself_o into_o all_o the_o form_n of_o nature_n so_o as_o that_o they_o become_v all_o impregnate_v with_o that_o thing_n out_o of_o which_o the_o lust_n arise_v 3._o and_o we_o understand_v the_o external_a spirit_n of_o man_n who_o be_v a_o similitude_n of_o the_o inner_a do_v lust_n after_o the_o fair_a image_n and_o therefore_o have_v set_v his_o imagination_n into_o the_o inner_a whereby_o the_o inner_a be_v infect_v 4._o and_o because_o he_o do_v not_o feel_v death_n instant_o therefore_o have_v he_o bring_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o will_n to_o the_o outer_a thus_o the_o outer_a go_v to_o lodge_v in_o the_o inner_a and_o at_o last_o be_v become_v host_n in_o the_o inn_n and_o have_v obscure_v the_o inner_a so_o that_o the_o fair_a image_n decease_v 5._o there_o the_o image_n fall_v among_o the_o murderer_n and_o among_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o original_n of_o life_n these_o keep_v the_o image_n imprison_v and_o pull_v off_o her_o paradisical_a garment_n murder_v and_o leave_v her_o half_a dead_a 6._o now_o there_o be_v need_n of_o christ_n the_o good_a samaritan_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n become_v man._n 7._o and_o if_o the_o wound_n can_v have_v be_v heal_v by_o speak_v of_o a_o word_n or_o a_o verbal_a remission_n than_o god_n will_v not_o have_v become_v man._n 8._o but_o god_n and_o paradise_n be_v lose_v and_o then_o the_o noble_a image_n be_v destroy_v and_o waste_v and_o must_v be_v new_o bear_v again_o out_o of_o god_n 9_o therefore_o do_v god_n come_v with_o his_o word_n which_o be_v the_o centre_n in_o the_o life_n of_o light_n and_o become_v flesh_n and_o so_o the_o soul_n obtain_v again_o a_o divine_a paradisical_a mansion_n conceive_v it_o thus_o 10._o that_o as_o adam_n soul_n have_v open_v the_o door_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o fire_n and_o let_v in_o the_o earthly_a essence_n who_o spring_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o paradisical_a image_n and_o make_v the_o image_n earthy_a 11._o so_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n open_v the_o door_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o light_n and_o embrace_v or_o encompass_v the_o soul_n with_o heavenly_a flesh_n and_o thus_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n imagine_v after_o the_o image_n after_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o soul_n 12._o thus_o be_v the_o soul_n impregnate_v again_o so_o as_o she_o enter_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o her_o will_n through_o death_n into_o the_o paradisical_a life_n 13._o and_o from_o hence_o come_v the_o temptation_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v tempt_v whether_o the_o soul_n will_v feed_v on_o the_o lord_n word_n and_o whether_o she_o can_v enter_v again_o through_o death_n into_o the_o life_n of_o god_n 14._o which_o be_v accomplish_v upon_o the_o cross_n where_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n go_v through_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o fury_n through_o the_o severe_a quality_n through_o death_n and_o spring_v up_o again_o in_o the_o holy_a paradisical_a world_n in_o which_o adam_n be_v create_v 15._o thus_o we_o man_n be_v help_v up_o again_o and_o it_o be_v requisite_a for_o we_o to_o turn_v away_o our_o will_n or_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o will_n and_o mind_n from_o all_o earthly_a thing_n and_o turn_v it_o into_o christ_n suffering_n die_v death_n and_o resurrection_n 16._o that_o we_o still_o crucify_v the_o old_a adam_n with_o christ_n death_n and_o still_o die_v unto_o sin_n in_o the_o death_n and_o die_v of_o christ_n &_o arise_v with_o he_o out_o of_o the_o anguish_n of_o death_n in_o the_o new_a man_n and_o grow_v up_o in_o the_o life_n of_o god_n as_o there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n nor_o no_o other_o help_n 17._o we_o must_v die_v unto_o the_o earthly_a world_n in_o our_o will_n and_o must_v still_o be_v new_o bear_v again_o to_o the_o new_a world_n in_o faith_n in_o the_o

understand_v that_o the_o light_n be_v the_o master_n in_o all_o the_o form_n for_o it_o contain_v meekness_n and_o be_v a_o life_n which_o be_v beget_v by_o furious_a death_n as_o by_o a_o anguish_n

understand_v that_o the_o water_n be_v beget_v through_o death_n by_o the_o sink_n through_o the_o anguish_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o we_o understand_v further_o how_o it_o be_v no_o death_n at_o all_o and_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v a_o death_n 42._o but_o the_o light_n make_v it_o spring_v up_o that_o there_o be_v a_o life_n in_o it_o which_o life_n stand_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n where_o life_n spring_v up_o out_o of_o death_n 43._o and_o we_o understand_v the_o entity_n as_o the_o palpability_n for_o the_o water_n in_o itself_o be_v dead_a but_o the_o fiery_a life_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n be_v its_o life_n 44._o thus_o be_v the_o ens_fw-la esteem_v as_o dead_a in_o which_o life_n be_v a_o proper_a thing_n and_o possess_v itself_o in_o itself_o 45._o where_o the_o death_n of_o the_o ens_fw-la must_v afford_v a_o body_n into_o it_o as_o in_o our_o three_o book_n be_v demonstrate_v where_o we_o understand_v also_o two_o form_n in_o the_o life_n of_o light_n and_o in_o the_o water_n of_o death_n and_o after_o the_o anguish_n the_o three_o in_o the_o fire_n 46._o as_o first_o in_o the_o anguish_n of_o mortify_v in_o the_o fury_n of_o fire_n we_o understand_v a_o furious_a water_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o four_o quality_n unto_o nature_n as_o sharp_a bitter_a anguish_n and_o fire_n be_v like_a unto_o poison_n and_o it_o be_v a_o poison_n also_o a_o hellish_a entity_n in_o the_o fury_n after_o the_o original_a of_o the_o principle_n into_o which_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n spring_v 47._o and_o second_o we_o understand_v the_o second_o water_n in_o the_o lights-crack_a when_o the_o quality_n sink_v through_o the_o mortify_n and_o become_v in_o death_n as_o a_o nothing_o for_o in_o the_o nothing_o be_v the_o eternal_a

continual_o replenish_v the_o sink_a then_o in_o the_o light_n spring_v up_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n that_o be_v a_o life_n out_o of_o death_n which_o be_v sink_v 49._o for_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o fire_n abide_v in_o the_o furious_a quality_n of_o the_o fiery_a water_n and_o do_v not_o go_v along_o into_o death_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v for_o the_o fierceness_n be_v the_o sharp_a

that_o in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o light_n there_o be_v find_v also_o a_o life_n of_o nature_n yet_o be_v it_o neither_o painful_a nor_o hellish_a as_o that_o in_o the_o original_a of_o nature_n after_o which_o god_n call_v himself_o a_o zealous_a angry_a god_n 51._o for_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o light_n come_v the_o water_n abroad_o which_o through_o death_n be_v sink_v into_o liberty_n a_o quality_n and_o water_n of_o the_o eternal_a life_n of_o joy_n in_o which_o meekness_n and_o love_n spring_v eternal_o 52._o where_o it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o sink_n but_o a_o spring_a up_o which_o be_v call_v paradise_n 53._o and_o the_o move_a out_o of_o the_o water_n spring_n be_v call_v element_n that_o be_v pure_a element_n in_o the_o angelical_a world_n 54._o and_o the_o cause_n

outer_a firmament_n and_o star_n 55._o thus_o we_o understand_v two_o world_n one_o in_o another_o where_o the_o one_o do_v not_o comprehend_v the_o other_o as_o one_o in_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o fiery_a nature_n in_o the_o water_n of_o poison_n and_o anguish_n quality_n in_o which_o the_o devil_n do_v dwell_v 56._o and_o then_o also_o one_o in_o the_o light_n where_o the_o water_n of_o
