to their future Posterity they had been in the same condemnation with the fallen Angels but the Eternal Word did even then incarnate himself for their help and recovery and to save them from sinking into that horrible Lake which the Serpent had prepared for them Thus did the Eternal Love immediately move towards them to free them out of the Dragon's Power whose design was to make them of their own Hierarchy in their Princely power of Darkness out from which the Lamb of God did redeem them Who from the Foundation of the World was the Salvation of God so still going on to the Ends of the Earth But while this new thing sprang in my understanding which seemed to differ from what I had formerly received as Truth I besought the Lord my Teacher to answer this Objection that was raised thereupon That if so immediately upon Adam's Fall the Eternal Word who is the new Birth-Seed did incorporate with Eve whereby power and ability were given to bring forth wholly after the Spirit how was it then that she should and did bring forth after the fleshly Image as appeared by the first Man which she brought forth in the wrathful Property first awakened In Answer to this I found Light at hand to resolve me As thus it did not seem good to the Wise Creator to obliterate and so presently to wipe off the Stain with which they by the act of Disobedience had blemished themselves Some marks of Displeasure the most Holy did still include them under as a Terrestial Body and to bring forth in Travel and Sorrow what should have been by Magical Power and Joy 〈◊〉 Celestial Angelical Forms but now as the effects of disregarding the Command of God they brought forth a mean and despicable Image according to their own Likeness But then I further queried but this Corporeity might have been Sinless 〈◊〉 Original Righteousness was also infused by the immortal Spark of Life entring in to incorporate with the outward Elementary Birth That Spirit which had so pure an Existency and was in free Liberty should come into a necessitated thraldom as in Cain was manifested As to this I also obtained Satisfaction that Cain had the Eternal Light of Life with him that did fore-warn him and convince him of the end and danger of Sin and that he was under Probation and that the Serpent had liberty still to ●●●mpt a new sutably to the Condition he w●s fallen into Who had an absolute Liberty of Will and Sufficiency of Power to stand his Ground as God said to him by way of Reproof If thou dost well shalt not thou be accepted but if not Sin lieth at thy own Door Which plainly doth declare that Cain should not have yielded himself Sins Captive So that in all Temptations you may know whither to fly even to that eternal Word within you who is mighty to Save who Is and Was from the Beginning the First and the Last Visible and Invisible Deity in Humanity and Deity out of Humanity all making and tending to the fullfilling and Manifestation of the Mystery which hath been hid in the Trinity Which Arcanum will be daily revealing in this latter Age. Then arose a further Query to be answered If Christ as a Seed of Life was infused into every individual Birth throughout the Line of Terrestial Propagation whereby a Sufficiency was found to bear down and overcome what the Serpent had introduced of this Venome and Sting of Sin add Death What further need was there of Christ to assume a Body and to be proclaimed in the World as a Personal Saviour by and through the offering up himself a Propitiatory Sacrifice for Sin If it could have been expiated by the Production of Internal Light and Life thus originally Springing according to that Scripture Christ the Light of every one that cometh into the World As this is a weighty and considerable Question so resolved it shall be from That which seeth into the first Ground of what cometh to be manifested in time Now then for these Reasons it was expedient for him who was nominated the Second Person in the Trinity to be exhibited in a corporal Form upon this Account First To declare the possibility of bringing in and acting forth an everlasting Righteousness in ●rail humane Nature which every way was beset and assaulted with Temptations from all dark Powers which from their evil Center did conspire to overturn Truth and Fidelity in this Immaculate Lamb for had the Dragon prevailed upon him here Mount Sion and the Heavenly Ierusalem should never have been revealed Secondly Then again for this Cause Christ was to be manifested in Flesh in God-like Power as very needful to become that great High-Priest to attone and make expiation for the Sins and Defectiveness under the first Covenant which was given in Paradise all since having sinned after the similitude of Adam's Transgression The holy Seed in them being weak through the Body which is included and falling under the gross Element which hath and doth in some much more then others choak and smother the Life and doth greatly cloud and darken universally this pure Light whereby the good part doth rarely get the Victory in any till they attain to a good degree of Illumination and Purification For this Spring of Light doth get through but by degrees for tho in it self its of great Potency yet need enough there is for Sins committed in the times of Ignorance and Minority before the Spirit comes to make the Soul understand it self from whence it is relapsed I say for the Remission of these Sins past through the forbearance of God not less then such a Sacrifice was your Jesus for you to become In the Third Place Then as Christ fulfilled all Righteousness in his Humanity for an Example to his fellow Breathren so they might come to the unity of the same perfect Life by the same perfect Spirit which was in him through the dying Life For thereby your Lord Jesus obtained a super-additional force and power of Spirit to give and shed abroad into you for the working out a full Liberty and Salvation For seeing his pure Life-Seed was under oppression he also came into a Body of Flesh to relieve and free it from the Bondage of Sin and Evil and also the very Mortality antecedent thereunto according as it is written delivering them who through fear of Death were all their Life-time subject to bondage Which no way could be effected but by Death destroying Death First in the humane Figure of your Lord Jesus who hereby shewed you the way to do mystically that so thereby you might escape the Second Death through the Resurrection which is said to quicken Mortal Bodies Fourth Place Now then further consider that th●s was the very great and primary end of Christ coming into a Body of Flesh to transfigure and to shew the way of Immortalizing of it as he did his own after his Resurrection when he ascended into
