A28532	The second booke, concerning the three principles of the divine essence of the eternall, dark, light, and temporary vvorld shewing what the soule, the image and the spirit of the soule are : as also what angels, heaven, and paradise are : how Adam was before the fall, in the fall, and after the fall : and what the wrath of God, sinne, death, the devils and hell are, how all things have been, now are, and how they shall be at the last / written in the German language by Jacob Behmen, aliàs Teutonicus Philosophus.; Beschreibung der drey Principien göttliches Wesens.

reader_n of_o the_o the_o three_o principle_n second_o book_n of_o our_o write_n a_o little_a more_o fundamental_o that_o he_o may_v not_o hang_v so_o to_o the_o bare_a letter_n and_o make_v a_o historical_a matter_n of_o our_o write_n but_o that_o he_o may_v observe_v the_o mind_n and_o spirit_n what_o that_o spirit_n mean_v when_o it_o speak_v of_o the_o divine_a life_n and_o use_v not_o always_o the_o same_o word_n and_o name_n 2._o for_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o creation_n of_o god_n we_o find_v very_o wonderful_a thing_n which_o yet_o in_o the_o beginning_n proceed_v out_o of_o one_o only_a fountain_n for_o we_o find_v evil_a and_o good_a life_n and_o death_n joy_n and_o sorrow_n love_n and_o hate_n weep_v and_o laugh_v and_o we_o find_v that_o it_o all_o spring_v out_o of_o one_o only_a substance_n for_o that_o may_v very_o well_o be_v see_v in_o all_o creature_n especial_o in_o man_n who_o be_v the_o similitude_n of_o god_n as_o moses_n write_v and_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n convince_v we_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o threefold_a life_n in_o man_n which_o be_v find_v so_o also_o in_o the_o gate_n of_o god_n the_o father_n 3._o if_o we_o consider_v of_o the_o alteration_n how_o the_o mind_n be_v change_v as_o it_o be_v how_o sudden_o joy_n be_v turn_v into_o sorrow_n and_o sorrow_n into_o joy_n than_o we_o ought_v well_o to_o consider_v from_o whence_o that_o take_v its_o original_a for_o we_o find_v it_o all_o to_o be_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o if_o one_o form_n property_n or_o quality_n rise_v and_o get_v above_o the_o other_o there_o then_o present_o or_o a_o substance_n or_o reality_n something_o follow_v so_o that_o the_o mind_n collect_v all_o its_o thought_n together_o and_o send_v they_o to_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o the_o hand_n the_o foot_n the_o mouth_n and_o all_o go_v to_o work_v and_o do_v something_o according_a to_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o then_o we_o say_v that_o form_n or_o property_n that_o drive_v the_o work_n be_v predominant_a qualify_a and_o work_v above_o other_o form_n wherein_o yet_o all_o other_o form_n of_o nature_n lie_v yet_o hide_v and_o be_v subject_a to_o that_o one_o form_n and_o yet_o the_o mind_n be_v such_o a_o wonderful_a essence_n or_o substance_n thing_n that_o sudden_o out_o of_o one_o form_n that_o be_v now_o predominant_a and_o work_v more_o than_o all_o other_o it_o bring_v forth_o and_o raise_v up_o another_o and_o quench_v the_o form_n that_o be_v kindle_v before_o so_o that_o it_o become_v as_o it_o be_v a_o nothing_o as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o joy_n and_o sorrow_n 4._o now_o therefore_o when_o we_o consider_v whence_o all_o take_v its_o original_a we_o find_v especial_o three_o form_n in_o the_o mind_n we_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o this_o world_n only_o for_o we_o find_v that_o our_o mind_n have_v also_o a_o desire_n or_o longing_n after_o another_o mind_n and_o that_o it_o be_v anxious_a for_o that_o which_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o body_n see_v not_o and_o which_o the_o mouth_n taste_v not_o and_o the_o feel_n of_o the_o earthly_a body_n do_v not_o perceive_v neither_o do_v the_o earthly_a ear_n hear_v it_o nor_o the_o nose_n smell_v it_o which_o yet_o the_o noble_a mind_n can_v see_v taste_n feel_v perceive_v and_o hear_v if_o the_o form_n of_o the_o divine_a kingdom_n in_o that_o mind_n be_v predominant_a or_o qualifi_v more_o than_o the_o other_o two_o there_o then_o instant_o the_o other_o two_o be_v as_o it_o be_v half_o dead_a and_o overcome_v and_o the_o divine_a form_v rise_v up_o alone_o and_o then_o it_o be_v in_o god_n 5._o and_o we_o see_v also_o how_o instant_o the_o mind_n raise_v up_o another_o form_n and_o make_v it_o predominant_a viz._n the_o spirit_n of_o this_o world_n in_o covetousness_n pride_n in_o the_o oppress_a of_o the_o needy_a and_o lift_v up_o itself_o only_o and_o so_o draw_v all_o to_o it_o whereupon_o then_o instant_o also_o the_o three_o form_n break_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o eternal_a indissoluble_a band_n as_o falsehood_n envy_n anger_n and_o malice_n so_o that_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o overcome_v where_o then_o the_o mind_n in_o this_o manner_n or_o stand_v be_v in_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n in_o death_n in_o the_o jaw_n of_o hell_n over_o which_o hell_n in_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n insult_v for_o hereby_o its_o jaw_n be_v set_v wide_o open_a and_o it_o become_v predominant_a but_o when_o the_o divine_a form_n break_v forth_o again_o than_o the_o kingdom_n of_o hell_n be_v overcome_v and_o as_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n come_v to_o be_v predominant_a and_o work_v again_o 6._o therefore_o st_n paul_n say_v to_o who_o you_o yield_v yourselves_o as_o servant_n in_o obedience_n his_o servant_n you_o be_v whether_o of_o sin_n unto_o death_n or_o of_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n to_o righteousness_n and_o that_o source_n or_o property_n we_o have_v and_o in_o that_o kingdom_n we_o live_v and_o that_o kingdom_n with_o the_o property_n thereof_o drive_v we_o see_v then_o here_o in_o this_o life_n all_o be_v in_o the_o sow_v and_o in_o the_o grow_a therefore_o the_o harvest_n also_o shall_v one_o day_n follow_v where_o then_o the_o one_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o other_o 7._o for_o there_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n three_o principle_n all_o which_o three_o in_o the_o time_n of_o this_o four_o elementary_a life_n he_o may_v open_v but_o when_o the_o body_n be_v break_v than_o he_o live_v in_o one_o principle_n only_o and_o then_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o key_n and_o can_v open_v no_o other_o principle_n more_o he_o must_v continue_v eternal_o in_o that_o source_n or_o quality_n which_o he_o have_v kindle_v here_o for_o we_o know_v that_o adam_n with_o his_o go_v out_o of_o paradise_n into_o this_o world_n bring_v we_o into_o death_n and_o hell_n in_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n grow_v from_o death_n and_o so_o our_o soul_n be_v capable_a of_o go_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o hell_n and_o stand_v in_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n where_o the_o jaw_n of_o hell_n then_o stand_v wide_a open_a against_o we_o continual_o to_o devour_v we_o and_o we_o have_v made_n a_o covenant_n with_o death_n and_o whole_o yield_v ourselves_o up_o to_o it_o in_o the_o sting_n of_o the_o anger_n in_o the_o first_o principle_n 8._o we_o not_o only_o know_v this_o but_o we_o know_v also_o that_o god_n have_v regenerate_v we_o in_o the_o life_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n to_o a_o live_a creature_n to_o live_v in_o he_o and_o as_o he_o be_v enter_v into_o death_n and_o again_o through_o death_n into_o eternal_a life_n so_o must_v we_o enter_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o life_n of_o jesus_n christ_n go_v forth_o out_o of_o death_n and_o live_v in_o god_n his_o father_n and_o then_o our_o life_n and_o also_o our_o flesh_n be_v no_o more_o earthly_a but_o holy_a in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o we_o live_v right_o in_o ternario_fw-la sancto_fw-it in_o the_o holy_a trinity_n of_o the_o deity_n for_o than_o we_o bear_v the_o holy_a flesh_n which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a element_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n which_o our_o love_a brother_n and_o saviour_n or_o immanuel_n have_v bring_v into_o our_o flesh_n and_o he_o have_v bring_v we_o in_o and_o with_o himself_o out_o of_o death_n into_o god_n his_o father_n and_o then_o the_o holy_a trinity_n of_o the_o deity_n be_v substantial_o or_o real_o work_n in_o we_o 9_o and_o as_o the_o eternal_a word_n in_o the_o father_n be_v become_v true_a man_n and_o have_v the_o eternal_a light_n shine_v in_o he_o and_o have_v humble_v and_o abase_v himself_o in_o the_o humanity_n and_o have_v put_v upon_o the_o image_n which_o we_o here_o bear_v in_o this_o life_n the_o image_n which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o pure_a unspotted_a element_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n which_o we_o last_o in_o adam_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n as_o be_v clear_o mention_v in_o our_o second_o book_n with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o so_o must_v we_o also_o put_v on_o to_o we_o that_o image_n which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o pure_a element_n out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o live_v in_o that_o bodily_a substance_n and_o in_o that_o source_n condition_n and_o virtue_n wherein_o he_o live_v 10._o we_o do_v not_o here_o mean_v his_o creature_n that_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o that_o but_o we_o understand_v his_o source_n for_o the_o depth_n and_o breadth_n of_o his_o life_n in_o his_o source_n be_v unmeasurable_a and_o as_o god_n his_o

again_o to_o the_o monstrous_a birth_n and_o deliver_v man_n out_o of_o that_o elementary_a and_o sydereall_a house_n of_o flesh_n and_o set_v he_o again_o in_o paradise_n of_o which_o i_o will_v write_v at_o large_a hereafter_o 42_o if_o therefore_o you_o will_v speak_v or_o think_v of_o god_n you_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o be_v all_o and_o you_o must_v look_v further_o into_o the_o three_o principle_n wherein_o you_o will_v find_v what_o god_n be_v you_o will_v find_v what_o the_o wrath_n the_o devil_n hell_n and_o sin_n be_v also_o what_o the_o angel_n man_n and_o beast_n be_v and_o how_o the_o separation_n or_o variation_n follow_v from_o whence_o all_o thing_n have_v thus_o proceed_v you_o will_v find_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n 43._o only_o reader_n i_o admonish_v you_o sincere_o if_o you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o prodigal_a or_o lose_v son_n return_v to_o his_o father_n again_o that_o you_o leave_v my_o book_n and_o read_v it_o not_o it_o will_v do_v you_o harm_n for_o the_o satan_n the_o satan_n great_a prince_n will_v not_o forbear_v to_o deceive_v you_o because_o he_o stand_v naked_a in_o this_o book_n before_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o be_v exceed_o ashamed_a as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v put_v to_o open_a shame_n before_o all_o people_n for_o his_o misdeed_n therefore_o be_v warn_v and_o if_o you_o love_v and_o

no_o body_n but_o yourself_o for_o i_o write_v down_o what_o i_o know_v at_o present_a for_o a_o memorial_n to_o myself_o yet_o god_n know_v well_o what_o he_o will_v do_v with_o it_o which_o in_o some_o measure_n be_v hide_v from_o i_o 44._o see_v now_o that_o we_o can_v find_v nothing_o in_o all_o nature_n of_o which_o we_o may_v say_v this_o be_v god_n or_o here_o be_v god_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o god_n may_v be_v some_o strange_a thing_n and_o see_v himself_o witness_v that_o his_o be_v the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o power_n from_o eternity_n to_o eternity_n and_o that_o he_o call_v himself_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v beget_v out_o of_o the_o loin_n of_o his_o father_n therefore_o we_o must_v seek_v for_o he_o in_o the_o original_n principio_fw-la original_n in_o principio_fw-la in_o the_o principle_n out_o of_o which_o the_o world_n be_v generate_v and_o create_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o we_o can_v say_v no_o otherwise_o but_o that_o the_o

bitterness_n and_o fire_n of_o which_o we_o can_v say_v that_o it_o be_v god_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o most_o inward_a first_o fountain_n first_o wellspring_n or_o fountain_n source_n of_o all_o that_o be_v in_o god_n the_o father_n according_a to_o which_o he_o call_v himself_o a_o angry_a zealous_a or_o jealous_a god_n and_o this_o source_n as_o you_o find_v before_o in_o the_o first_o

this_o principle_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o most_o horrible_a beget_n the_o great_a anguish_n and_o hostile_a quicken_n like_o a_o brimstone-spirit_n and_o be_v ever_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o abyss_n wherein_o prince_n lucifer_n at_o the_o extinguish_n of_o his_o light_n continue_v and_o wherein_o viz._n in_o the_o same_o abyss_n of_o hell_n the_o soul_n continue_v which_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o second_o principle_n and_o who_o light_n which_o shine_v from_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n be_v extinguish_v and_o for_o which_o cause_n also_o at_o the_o end_n of_o this_o time_n there_o will_v be_v a_o separation_n or_o part_v asunder_o of_o the_o saint_n of_o light_n from_o the_o damn_a who_o torment_n who_o or_o work_v fountain_n of_o their_o condition_n as_o

their_o beginning_n and_o must_v speak_v so_o of_o it_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o place_n or_o a_o separable_a essence_n where_o there_o be_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o source_n to_o the_o end_n that_o

principle_n of_o the_o clear_a pure_a deity_n of_o the_o father_n the_o that_o be_v the_o power_n glory_n or_o lustre_n of_o the_o father_n heart_n of_o god_n in_o the_o first_o principle_n as_o i_o

hard_o as_o when_o steel_n and_o a_o flint_n be_v strike_v one_o against_o another_o from_o which_o the_o twinkle_a flash_n of_o fire_n proceed_v and_o when_o the_o harshness_n perceive_v fire_n
