power thou sayst wee are nigh unto the Kingdome of God and yet wert never farther off this thy end will testifie and declare to be true 57. What doth thy knowledge availe thee the Devill knows likewise that which thou knowest but he doth it not and so doest thou and therfore the Kingdome of God remaineth hidden to both of you Thy knowledge is thy snare which captivates thee wert thou plaine and single-hearted thou wouldst not be so proud what doth the simple know of false suttlety and deceit if he learnt it not from the wit of the Turba Thou saist Wee beare forth Gods will and teach it art thou not Cain who daily killeth Abel Behold thy selfe aright thou art even he Abel lyeth at thy feet and lamenteth but thou art that wicked Beast that trampleth upon * Upon the sincere Love and humilitie of Christ and all those that would practice it Abel and oppressest the low and miserable and thou esteemest the simple as dust and yet thou devourest his sweat and fillest thy selfe with deceit without ground how canst thou then say Here is the Church of Christ O thou art Babel a Citie of whoredome and falshood 58. Thou knowest Gods will and yet doest onely thine omn will and also saist We are gone out from Babel we have the true Doctrine among us yea but hadst thou the Spirit of righteousnesse and truth and wouldst live contented with a little thy Mother would alwayes give thee enough that thou shouldst have no lack but thy pomp pride and arrogancy have no trust in God therefore thou reliest onely upon covetousnesse and thou doest onely devoure the fat of the Earth thou takest it away by force and not with right The Law and justice which thou doest arrogate to thy selfe thy false covetous heart hath invented Thou livest onely in deceit thou flatterest and deceivest thy selfe to thine own hurt wert thou truly wise thou wouldst have an eye to thy End and to that which followeth thereafter But thou blindest thy selfe with pride and yet sayest here is a golden time Many would faine have seene that we see and heare that which we heare but have neither seene nor heard it yea but hearken it shall be a witnesse against thee and make thy judgement so much the more heavy for thou art not growne better thereby but worse Therefore know what is declared thee the same was thy own Prophet which hath called thee back from thy pride unto the Mother of humility but thou art made onely worse thou hast quasht the sword of the Spirit that thou mightest live as thou listest but he hath forsaken thee and given thee over to the Turba which shall devoure thee as it hapned in times past to Israel No Consultation availeth thy Covenants are to no purpose seeing thou dependest upon the arme of flesh hence God also is quite departed from thee and sufferest thee to doe that which maketh for thy own destruction 59. Or why doest thou take the Covenant of God into thy mouth seeing thou hatest to be reformed and onely seekest Covetousnesse supposest thou that God is such a false hypocrite and lyar as thou art leave off from thy lip-labour mouth hypocrisie thou art not accepted of God unlesse thou doest returne and goe out from falsehood 60. It is with thee now as the Turba desireth whose sport and recreation it is to fulfill the Anger of God that it may devoure whatsoever is growne up in his Kingdome and thou art blinde therein and seest nothing To what end art thou so having and covetous depart from it doest thou not see how the Noble Tincture doth arise it will very shortly put forth its blossome and then thou shalt have Silver and Gold enough 61. But what shall we need say more thou hast whored thy selfe asleep thou choosest rather to goe quick into the Abysse then to forsake the Whore Therefore that shall be executed upon thee which thy own Prophet sheweth thee who hath long enough called thee with his Trumpet thou expectest Deliverance onely from the fiery devouring sword that shall also cut thee through 62. Or doest thou thinke that we are madd that we speake thus yea rather we are borne of thee wee see and understand the complaints of our Mother that rebuketh her children for shee declareth the wrath in the Turba which is growne even to the wrathfull Anger of God 63. We speake what is given us what we know in the zeale of the Lord what have we to doe with Babel we speake among our selves with the members of our body and with those who dwell in the Courts of God with those who now mourne with us whose sorrow shall be turned into joy Divers remarkable Places taken out of the Commentary of Teutonicus upon Gene●●s Chap. 30. o Or Verse Paragraph the 34. 34. THere are Seven Times appointed to proceed from the Tree of Life in the Word of Power The first proceedeth from the Pure Life of Adam for before the Creature the Life was in the Word whence it was brought pure into the Image This continueth till the Fall from this Pure Life springs forth a twigg in the inward Kingdome this was Abel but being the Fall hung on him in the outward world this same pure life was carried through death into the holy World It pointeth at the Kingdome of Christ who should bring us againe through death into the Pure Life 35. The Second Time begins with Seth for Moses saith that Adam was an hundred and thirtie yeares old and begat a sonne in his own likenesse and called him Seth Understand he was such an Image as Adam was after the Fall and was set in the spirituall Line of the Wonders and Cain also with him in a worldly Naturall Line of the Wonders for both * Secular and Ecclesiasticall Naturall and Spirituall Kingdomes goe together Seths time continueth till the Deluge and beareth the Supremacy even to the Deluge 36. The third time begins with E●os under Seths time and is carried along as a spirituall Ministry or knowledge of God under Seths time being as an hidden Kingdome and continues till Abraham to whom the Covenant of Christ was established in the flesh 37. The Fourth Time begins with Kenan which is the spirituall Forme in prayers and spirituall offrings wherein the Word formeth it selfe in the Wisdome and did bring it selfe along under Seths and Enos his Time and manifested it selfe with Moses like as Enos Time was first truely manifested with Abraham with the Promise in the Covenant This time of Kenan continues in its Manifestation and Dominion under Moses till Christ in the flesh 38. The Fift Time begins with Mahalaleel and 't is the Reception of the Angelicall forme viz. of the new regeneration out of the Covenant and goeth secretly all along under the Ministry of Enos under Seth and Kenan in the word of the Promise through all the three Times and was manifested with the fullfilling of the Covenant in

the Spirit of the Letters shall be againe found and the Spirits of the Letters shall be againe found and knowne in the formed Word of the Creation and in the Creation shall be sound and knowne the Beeing of all Beeings and in the Beeing of all Beeings the Eternall understanding of the holy Trinity even then the contentions about the knowledge of God and his Beeing and Will doe cease when the branches shall know that they are or stand in the Tree they will never say that they are peculiar and singular Trees but they will rejoyce in their Stem and they will see that that they are altogether boughes and branches of One Tree and that they doe all receive power and life from one onely Stem 53. And there Moses shall keep Sheep and each sheep eateth his own Pasture therefore mark it when this hapneth to be fullfilled Noah denounceth the Deluge and Elias brings the Flaming Sword upon the false Israel and the Turba in the fire of the Wrath devoures the wild Tree with its fruits and branches Let this be told thee Babel 54. For as concerning Enochs divine time our speech is taken from us seeing Babel is not worthy of it also shall not see it so also to disclose the Times of the Ancient whose Number shall be manifest in the Rose of the Lilly Mysterium Magnum Chap. 31. 19. ANd God said it repented him c. This is to be understood according to the Creation of the Formed Word not according to the Eternall Speaking Word which is unchangeable but according to the good Property in the Creation that it must be laden with Evill against its will c. 26. The Spirit doth especially in Noah complaine here against man for the Sodomiticall beastiall concupiscence and lust of the flesh viz. against unchastity and uncleane lascivious wantonnesse and also against the High Oppressours and Tyrants who put forth themselves in their own lust and domineered and would not suffer the Spirit of God to rule in them that they had intruded themselves without Command all this was an abomination before God and it grieved the Spirit in the Formed Word that he had produced such evill Beasts and would endure them no longer 27. Even this same Propheticall Spirit whose roote opened it selfe in Enoch which also by Enoch d●d propagate its line in its branches which by Noah did grieve at the wickedness of man and drowned them with the Deluge even this is he that now also doth grieve at the great sinnes and vanity of men for his mouth is at present opened he hath been translated in the Spirit of Christ Now this Word that became man doth repent at the vanity and wickednesse of men that his children of the new Covenant will not suffer the Spirit of Christ to draw them therefore this propheticall mouth doth now come forth for it is the time of its Manifestation and proclaimeth the great Deluge of Gods Anger and the Flaming Sword of Elias who also was translated or taken into the mystery for he shall bring his Sword in the Turba 28. Let this be told thee Babel he complaineth mightily against thy Beastiall Wantonnesse and Tyranny against thy own usurped force and violence wherewith thou art proud and wanton and thereby hath set up thy selfe in Gods government he will drowne thee with thy tyranny and beastiall unchastity with the fire of anger seeing that thou wilt not repent of thy vanity therefore he repenteth through thee with the Turba and will drowne thy Turba so that his repentance may be manifest in his children and also his Comfort of Refreshment may be manifest by his Repentance c. 40. By Adam the Word Repented and gave it selfe with a Covenant into the life to helpe and comfort the life and by Noah the Word repented and moved all the fountaines of the deep in Nature and drowned the Wrath and opened the Covenant of grace 41. And when the Time of Enos was at the End in the dayes of the children of Nimrod the Word grieved at the vanity of man that they would not know God and drowned the understanding of the one onely tongue and divided it and gave by its repentance the certaine understanding in the Covenant with Abraham 42. And when the Time of Cainan was at the end that the children of Abrahams Covenant were compelled into the vanity of Servitude the Word grieved at the vanity and destroyed Pharoah and afterward all the men of the children of Israel in the Wildernesse save Josua and Caleb and gave by repentance the Law of his Covenant a true type of Christ who should drowne the Abomination in his bloud 43. Thus also when Mahalaleels time came to the end the Word grieved in the deepest Repentance and brought the life of God in Christ Jesus into the formed creaturely Word in the humane Ens and drowned the Turba in the humane Ens with Gods love and mercy and gave them the Spirit of Comfort and the Gospel 44. Note Thus even now when the time of Jared is at the end which hath been covered with Babel Even now the Word doth repent and grieve at our great vanity and will destroy the Abomination with the devouring jawes of Wrath with Sword Hunger Fire and Death And giveth by its sorrow and repentance a Lilly out of Enochs mouth in Gods sweetnesse 45. And when Enochs time shall be at the end that the vanity doth againe grow in the Turba then cometh the greatest griefe and sorrow of all upon the Nature of the Wonders that it is at the end and there is no more any remedy even then cometh the last Motion with the Turba in the first Principle of the Eternall Nature and devoureth or swalloweth up the outward Nature in the fire and then shall the Formed Word be wholly freed from vanity and giveth by its last Repentance the Holy Spirituall World Amen Mysterium Magnum Chap. 32. 10. THere is a very great Mystery in the Ark of Noah which the Lord commanded him to build after that manner and shewed him how high how long and how broad it should be and directed also that it should have three severall Stories also concerning the creatures that he should bring into it which is such a Mystery that the malicious wicked man is not worthy to know and we also shall not mention it in the ground or depth of its meaning for it hath its time wherein it shall be opened that is in the Lilly time when Babel hath its End but yet to set downe somewhat for a furtherance to our fellow branches who shall breake forth and grow out of our Ens of this Lilly in its time which also shall be a Rose in the Lilly-time we will set it downe in an hidden exposition 11.
