standeth in the Center of the Life towards us 16. God is become Man and willeth to have us so also his Anger in the Kingdom of the fierce wrath willeth to have us the Devil also willeth to have us into his society and Gods Angels also into theirs to which soever we are Factour and Trade thither we go 17. If we put our Imagination into the Light of God and go with earnest sincerity into that then we come into it and are also with earnestness drawn into it 18. Will we then put our willing into the Glory of this world and let the Eternal go then we have to expect that we must with this worlds fierce wrath enter into the first Mystery 19. Shall we not then have divine Imagination viz Faith in us then the divine Love will leave us and not let us in at her Doars 20. Assuredly if God break them not open then we come into Necessity if thou bringest Not Gods spirit along with thee thou wilt never more attain it 21. Therefore it is Good to Spring and grow forth in this Life Christ is Become our field we may without any great anguish or trouble attain it it is but to do this viz to breake our Will 22. That is woeful for the Old Adam will not so also the Anger will not the Devil also will not 23. Behold O Man thou thy self art thy own Enemy that which thou holdest to be thy friend that is thy Enemy wouldst thou be saved and see God then thou must become worst Enemy to thy best friend viz to thy outward Life 24. Not that thou shouldest destroy it but its will onely thou must do what thou willest not thou must become thy own Enemy or else thou cast not see God 25. For that which thou now holdest for thy friend is proceeded out of the Anguish Chamber and hath still the Anguish life in it it hath the Anger source or quality and the Devils sicknesse longing or Malady in it 26. Thou must frame or Create a will in God thou must frame or Create a will out of thy soul and with the same go forth out of Evil wickedness and Malice into God and so thou wilt be introduced into Gods Fire 27. Understand the willing-spirit that will kindle thy soul and so then reach after the life and spirit of Christ and thou wilt receive it which will new Regenerate thee with a New willing which will abide with thee 28. The same is the blossome of thy soul wherein the New-Child standeth in the Image of God to that God giveth Christs flesh and bloud to feed on 29. And not to the Adamical Ass as Babel wonderfully Dreameth as if the wicked should participate or be made partakers of the Body of Christ O No. 30. They receive the four Elements and therein the Anger of God and therefore because they distinguish or discern not the Lords Body which is every where present in Heaven and becometh fed upon by that soul which attaineth Heaven 31. Not as a sign as the other Phantasy Dreameth not Spirit without Substance but the substance of the spirit environed and inclosed with Gods wisdome Christs Flesh which filleth the Light-world in every Place which the Word that became Man brought along with it into Mary 32. That same Substantiality although indeed in Mary it became Opened in its flesh and bloud and assumed humane Essence to it selfe was at that very Time while Christ lay in the body or womb of Mary in Heaven in the one Element in all Places 33. It never came at any time from any Place many miles off into Mary No but the included Center which Adam had shut up in the Anger of God in Death that the word of the Deity did unshut or unlock and introduced the divine substantiality into the virgin-like Center shut up in Death 34. That was done in the Body or womb of Mary in the limit or Mark of the Covenant not departing away also not entering in but unshutting in-generating and in this world Ex-generating 35. God-and-Man one Person Heavenly and in Death inclosed substantiality and virginity one substantiality one onely Man in heaven and in this World 36. And such must we also be for the Word which became Man is stirring in the soul and standeth in the sound of the Life in all Souls 37. Now go whither thou wilt thou hast now the Center of the Deity in thee in the sound and stirring and also the Center of the fierce wrath into which thou goest and which thou awakenest therein standeth thy Life 38. Do what thou pleasest thou art free and God letteth thee know it He calleth thee if thou comest then thou wilt be his Child if thou goest into the Anger then thou wilt also be taken up by that The Tenth Chapter Of Gods Express-Reflex Image of Man viz of Gods similitude and Man 1. WE cannot in this world see our substantiality or New Body while we are in the Earthly Body the Outward Man knoweth it not onely the Spirit which becometh generated and goeth forth out of the New Man that knoweth its Body 2. But if we would fain have the knowledge thereof and would know whether we are in the New Birth then we have no better proof or tryal of it then by or in the similitude of God which we understand to be viz the Desiring the sense or Thoughts and the Mind 3. These Things contein in them the Center of the spirit out of which the strong will becometh generated and brought forth in which the right true similitude and the Image of God with flesh and Bloud standeth which the outward man knoweth not 4. For that very Image is not in this world but it hath another Principle viz in the Angelical world and during this Time of the Body standeth in the Mystery in the secresie or Arcanum 5. As the Gold in the Stone whereas the Gold hath another Tincture another Essence another Glance and Lustre or shining and the rudeness or drossiness of the Stone cannot comprehend it and the Gold also doth not comprehend the rude drossiness of the Stone and yet the rude drossiness viz the Anguish Center is a Cause of the Gold for the rude drossiness is the Mother and the Sun or Sol is the Father 6. Thus also is our Old Adam and Body a Cause of the New Body for it is the Mother out of the Old substantiality originally ariseth the new Body and Gods Spirit in Christ is the Father as the Sun is the Father of the Gold so also is Gods heart the Father of the New-Man 7. But now we can not know the New Man better then in the Center namely in the Desiring Thoughts and Mind 8. When we find our selves thus viz that our Desiring standeth totally according to and towards God that our Thoughts continually run in the will of God and that the Mind totally giveth it self up in Obedience into the will

Members they came to have entrailes in the Body and a stincking Sack of Worms full of woe and misery in anguish and Toyl as is mentioned in the Book of the Three Principles and so we see now before our eyes what manner of Paradisical Angels we are and how we must generate and nourish our selves in Anxiety care and Misery which should have been done after another manner 83. Thus we sufficiently know Adams Fall and why he could not continue in Paradise and what Paradise was which is still to this very day onely it beareth not Paradisical fruit and we have not the Paradisical source or Quality and Eyes and so we see it not 84. For God hath cursed the Earth for Mans sake so that Paradise springeth no more through the Earth for it is become a Mystery and yet it is continually there 85. And into that Mystery the souls of the Saints depart when the Earthly body separateth it selfe from the Soul 86. It is in this world and yet is out of this world for this Worlds quality or source toucheth it not 87. The whole World would have continued to be Paradise if Adam had Continued in Innocency but when God pronounced the Curse then Paradise departed 88. For Gods Cursing is fleeing It is a fleeing not departing away but a going into another Principle viz into himselfe 89. For the Spirit of God proceedeth forth from God into the Substantiality but when this Sustantiality became Earthly and that the Devil dwelt therein who was Gods Enemy then the Spirit of God passed into its own Principle viz into the Love and departed out of the Earthliness and there it standeth now presented to Man in the Light of Life 90. So that whosoever now desireth to Enter into the Love of God let him go with his will-Spirit into Paradise and then Paradise will spring up again into or in his will-Spirit and he will receive on-to his Image again the Heavenly Substantiality in which the Holy Spirit ruleth 91. Let this be a Pearl to you ye Children of Men for it is the true Ground whosoever seeketh and findeth it he hath meer Joy therein It is the Pearl which lyeth hid in the field for which one sold all his goods and bought the Pearl of which Christ speaketh 92. Thus also we may know the Cherubine which draw Adam and Eve out of Paradise viz the stern or strong Angel which signifieth the Cutter off of the Earthly life from Paradise where Body and Soul must part asunder 93. It is indeed known to Us that Adam and Eve were driven away out of the place where the Tree of Temptation stood for Paradisical fruit stood there which they should no more see nor Eat for the Heavenly belongeth not to the Earthly 94. Also the Beasts were driven out in respect of the Evil Tree for they could not eat of the Paradisical fruit but of this Tree Every beast could Eat for it was Earthly 95. Thus must they leave Paradise for God had clothed them through the Spirit of the Great World with the skins of Beasts instead of the Heavenly Clothing of clarity and brightness 96. And he had pronounced their sentence what they should doe and suffer in this World what they should thence forward Eat and how they should nourish themselves or get their living in Care and Misery till they should return altogether to the Earth from whence they were extracted as to one Part. The seventh Chapter Of the promised Seed of the Woman and Crusher of the Serpent 1. NOw then Adam and Eve standing thus as Man and Wife in Paradise and having yet the heavenly source or quality and Joy though Mixed the Devil could not endure that for his Envy was too great 2. Seeing he had overthrown Adam and brought down his Angelical form he looked now upon Eve viz the Woman out of Adam and thought she might conceive Children in Paradise and remain in Paradise thou wilt therefore seduce her that she may eat of the forbidden fruit and so she will become Earthly and then thou maist reach into her heart and bring thy Imagination into her and so shalt get her into thy Kingdom and thou shalt continue still Prince in the Third Principle upon Earth 3. Which he then also did and perswaded her to the Evil fruit so that she laid hold on the Tree and brake off an Apple and did Eat and gave also to Adam 4. Now when Adam saw that Eve did not Instantly fall down and dye he did Eat also for the Lust was in both of them 5. This is the Bitt upon which Heaven and Paradise departed where the Cherubine viz the Cutter off with the Naked Sword came and stood before the Door and suffered them no more to come into Paradise 6. His Sword was that of the destroying Angel which now cutteth Men with heart cold sicknesse necessity and Death and at last cutteth off the Earthly Life from the Soul 7. When this Sword was to be broken in the Death of Christ then the Earth Trembled and the Sun lost its things Light and the Rocks cleft in sunder before the strong Might of God which thus brake Death in peeces 8. Thus also the Graves of the Saints Opened and their Bodies went out from Death again for the Sword was broken and the Angel which Guarded Paradise was done away and the Bodys of the Saints went into Paradise again 9. But here when Adam and Eve did eat the Earthly fruit they fell among Murtherers who wounded them and cast them out and let them lie half dead 10. Their going forth out of Paradise is the † going from Jerusalem to Jerico for they went out of Heaven into this Evil corrupt World into the house of Sinne. 11. Where instantly in their Minds in the Centre of Nature the wheel of the Senses or Thoughts began to qualifie or Operate in the Earthly source or quality where one sense or thought was against and Contrary to the other where Envy Pride Covetousness Anger and Contrary opposite will sufficiently flowed forth upon heaps 12. For the Noble Light of Love was extinguished which maketh the fierce wrathful source or quality amiable friendly and meek in which the spirit of God worketh and the fair Virgin of Gods Wisedom resteth they went out from the fair Wisdome 13. God had created Adam in the chast Virgin of his Wisdome but he became in the presence and stead thereof an Evil Earthly Opposire Woman with which he must live in this beastial form in meer care anxiety and necessity 14. And out of his fair Garden of pleasure which he had in him there came an Opposite Thorny and Thistly Garden whence yet he somewhat sought the Virgin-like fruit 15. But it went with him as with a Theese who hath been in a fair Garden to keep it but is for his Theft cast out from it and yet would fain eat
