A28520	A description of the three principles of the divine essence viz., of the un-originall eternall birth of the Holy Trinity of God ... : of man, of what he was created and to what end, and how he fell from his first glory into the angry wrathfulnesse ... : what the anger of God, sinne, death the Devill, and hell are ... / written in the German language, anno 1619, by Jacob Beme.; Beschreibung der drey Principen göttliches Wesens.

we_o moreover_o we_o have_v god_n law_n and_o commandment_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o excuse_n but_o only_o our_o drowsy_a lazy_a negligence_n and_o carelessness_n and_o so_o we_o be_v find_v to_o be_v slothful_a unprofitable_a servant_n in_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n 8._o last_o it_o be_v in_o the_o high_a measure_n most_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o learn_v to_o know_v ourselves_o because_o the_o devil_n dwell_v with_o we_o in_o this_o world_n who_o be_v both_o god_n enemy_n and_o we_o and_o daily_o mislead_v we_o and_o entrap_v we_o as_o he_o have_v do_v from_o the_o beginning_n that_o we_o may_v fall_v away_o from_o our_o god_n and_o father_n that_o so_o he_o may_v enlarge_v his_o kingdom_n and_o bereave_v we_o of_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n as_o it_o be_v write_v he_o go_v about_o as_o a_o roar_a lion_n and_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v 9_o see_v therefore_o we_o be_v in_o such_o horrible_a danger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o be_v environ_v with_o enemy_n on_o every_o side_n and_o have_v a_o very_a unsafe_a pilgrimage_n or_o journey_n to_o walk_v and_o above_o all_o we_o carry_v our_o worst_a enemy_n within_o we_o which_o we_o ourselves_o hide_v and_o desire_v not_o to_o learn_v to_o know_v it_o though_o evil_a it_o be_v the_o most_o horrible_a guest_n of_o all_o which_o cast_v we_o headlong_o into_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n yea_o itself_o be_v the_o very_a anger_n of_o god_n which_o throw_v we_o into_o the_o eternal_a fire_n of_o wrath_n into_o the_o eternal_a unquenchable_a torment_n therefore_o it_o be_v most_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o learn_v to_o know_v this_o enemy_n what_o he_o be_v who_o he_o be_v and_o whence_o he_o be_v how_o be_v come_v into_o we_o and_o what_o in_o we_o be_v his_o proper_a own_o also_o what_o right_a the_o devil_n have_v to_o we_o and_o what_o access_n of_o entrance_n into_o we_o how_o he_o be_v ally_v with_o our_o own_o enemy_n that_o dwell_v in_o we_o how_o they_o favour_n and_o help_v one_o another_o how_o both_o of_o they_o be_v god_n enemy_n and_o continual_o lie_v wait_v for_o we_o to_o murder_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o to_o perdition_n 10._o further_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o great_a reason_n why_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o learn_v to_o know_v ourselves_o because_o we_o see_v and_o know_v that_o we_o must_v die_v and_o perish_v for_o our_o own_o enemy_n sake_n which_o be_v god_n enemy_n and_o we_o which_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o be_v the_o very_a half_n of_o man_n and_o if_o he_o grow_v so_o strong_a in_o we_o that_o he_o get_v the_o upperhand_n and_o be_v part_n predominant_a than_o he_o throw_v we_o into_o the_o abyss_n to_o all_o devil_n to_o dwell_v there_o with_o they_o eternal_o in_o a_o eternal_a unquenchable_a pain_n and_o torment_n into_o a_o eternal_a darkness_n into_o a_o loathsome_a house_n and_o into_o a_o eternal_a forget_v of_o all_o good_a yea_o into_o god_n contend_v will_n where_o our_o god_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n be_v our_o enemy_n for_o ever_o 11._o we_o have_v yet_o great_a reason_n to_o learn_v to_o know_v ourselves_o because_o we_o be_v in_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n that_o if_o we_o overcome_v our_o own_o enemy_n and_o the_o devil_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o live_v in_o his_o kingdom_n with_o and_o in_o he_o among_o his_o holy_a angel_n in_o eternal_a joy_n clarity_n brightness_n glory_n and_o welfare_n in_o meekness_n and_o favour_n with_o he_o without_o any_o touch_n of_o evil_n and_o without_o any_o knowledge_n of_o it_o in_o god_n eternal_o beside_o we_o have_v the_o promise_n that_o if_o we_o overcome_v and_o bury_v our_o enemy_n in_o the_o earth_n we_o shall_v rise_v again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n in_o a_o new_a body_n which_o shall_v be_v without_o evil_a and_o pain_n and_o live_v with_o god_n in_o perfect_a joy_n loveliness_n and_o bliss_n 12._o also_o we_o know_v and_o apprehend_v that_o we_o have_v in_o we_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n to_o which_o be_v in_o god_n love_n and_o be_v immortal_a and_o that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o vanquish_v by_o its_o adversary_n but_o fight_v as_o a_o spiritual_a champion_n against_o its_o enemy_n god_n will_v assist_v it_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o will_v enlighten_v and_o make_v it_o powerful_a and_o able_a to_o overcome_v all_o its_o enemy_n he_o will_v fight_v for_o it_o and_o at_o the_o overcome_a of_o the_o evil_a will_v glorify_v it_o as_o a_o faithful_a champion_n and_o crown_v it_o with_o the_o fair_a bright_a crown_n of_o heaven_n 13._o now_o see_v man_n know_v that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o twofold_a man_n in_o the_o evil_n capacity_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o that_o they_o be_v both_o his_o own_o and_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v that_o only_a man_n which_o be_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o reward_n of_o either_o of_o they_o and_o to_o which_o of_o they_o he_o incline_v in_o this_o life_n to_o that_o his_o soul_n go_v when_o he_o die_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v arise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n in_o power_n in_o his_o labour_n and_o work_v which_o he_o exercise_v here_o and_o live_v therein_o eternal_o and_o also_o be_v glorify_v therein_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v his_o eternal_a food_n and_o sustenance_n subsistence_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o he_o to_o learn_v to_o know_v himself_o how_o it_o be_v with_o he_o and_o whence_o the_o impulsion_n to_o good_a and_o to_o evil_n come_v and_o what_o indeed_o the_o good_a and_o evil_a mere_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o whence_o they_o be_v stir_v and_o what_o proper_o be_v the_o original_a of_o all_o the_o good_a and_o of_o all_o the_o evil_n from_o whence_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v evil_n be_v come_v to_o be_v in_o the_o devil_n and_o in_o man_n and_o in_o all_o creature_n see_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o holy_a angel_n and_o man_n also_o create_v good_a and_o that_o also_o such_o disposition_n untowardness_n be_v
