Mystery which with the Magia viz. with the Desire introduceth it self into the fierce Wrath where then the strong loud-sounding life and strength is understood in the entrance of Nature in the first Three Forms viz. the astringent bitter and anguish as the word Wrath standeth in the space under the Line Number 18. signifying that the fierce Wrath doth not touch the Angle or Point of the Number Three but is generated or born in the Desire Craft Numb 19. 187. Under the word Omnipotence Number 19. standeth Craft signifying the Essence out of the Looking-Glass of the Mystery which Craft or Suttlety in the second Principle is changed into a right or rectified understanding and here in the Magick Fire it is only Craft or cunning Suttlety for it is accute or pointed and sharp and a cause of the Understanding Devil Numb 20. 188. Over against it standeth Devil Number 20. in the space of the Dark World signifying the evilness malignity or malice of the Devil in that he is gone away from the Angle or Point of the Number Three and hath set or put his will into the fierce Wrath Craft or Suttlety in willing therewith to rule or lord it over God's Meekness and himself to use the strength and might or potency of the Fire and of the fierce-Fierce-wrath Devils Art Numb 21 22. 189. Under the word Craft standeth Devils Art Number 21 22. Devils standeth without the Circle of Nature and Art standeth within the Circle of Nature signifying that the Devil was created as well out of the Mystery of the Father upon the Line or Stroak of the Cross in the Eternal Nature as the other Angels But he hath framed or created to himself his Art Number 22. in the magick seeking of Nature in the Center of the dark World whereas yet he should have gotten framed or created it in God's Heart and Power or Vertue and that is his Cause of his Fall and of his Envy or Hatred and Malice Will Numb 23. 190. Above the Line Number 23. standeth Will signifying that the Devil hath hath swung himself aloft above the Divine Line upon or in which he was created as a proud or haughty stately Spirit that would himself have been Lord and have governed in own Self Art and Wit Darkness Numb 24. 191. As now at present the pride or state and haughtiness and cunning suttle Policy and Prudence of Men doth which swingeth it self also thus from the Line of God up into own self wherein it cannot reach or attain the Divine Power or Vertue and Light within but falleth in it self into the Dark anguishing Magick Fire as above the word Will is marked Number 24. First into Darkness for Reason loseth the Divine Understanding and Desire wherein it can take hold of and receive God's Substance and so impregnate it self with Power and Vertue out of or from God Fire Numb 25. 192. And then the Magick Fire of Covetousness kindleth it self in that it willeth to have much and yet hath not enough as here Number 25. Anguish Numb 26. 193. And when it hath filled it self with Covetousness then beginneth the Magick Fire in the Anguish Number 26. to burn For that which is brought in by the Covetousness and laden the fire with is the Magick Fires wood or fewel wherein it burneth and there is Death generated or born which must separate what the Covetousness hath laid in Death Numb 27. 194. And here is also the heavy Fall of Adam who imagined as the Devil did and desired the multiplicity of this world for his own he would be wise or suttle and prudent and get much Wit or crafty Ingenuity and also the earthly hellish source or fountain quality in the wit Had he remained upon the Stroak or Arm in God's Line then he had not become earthly for his will-spirit had dwelt in God and had introduced Divine food into the Body but now he standeth in the Anguish Number 26 and must again go through the Principle into Death Number 27 where his Body must in the Mystery be consumed 195. And if he hath not in this time converted his will into the Cross of Christ as in this Figure is to be seen then is he in the Mystery reserved to the Judgement of God and there he shall be tryed in the Fire whether his will-spirit hath Divine Power and Vertue in it or not or whether he can subsist in the Fire And there the proud stately or haughty earthly works will be burned away from him and the soul will remain in the dark Magick Will-Fire for it self is also a Magick Fire when the Divine Light-Fire is not in it and so now one Magick Fire layeth hold of another out of which there is no remedy to help Will Numb 28. Light Numb 29. Spirit Numb 30. Man Numb 31. 196. But that Soul which hath in this time converted again and hath with its will given up it self into the Death of Christ on the Line of the Cross Number 27. that soul is sunk down from its proud or haughty evil works and is as to them will-less or free from willing and is entered into the Death of Christ and sprouteth forth with the Will-spirit Number 28. through the second Principle in the Divine Power and Vertue out of the Death of Christ where then the Will-Spirit viz. the Image attaineth again the Divine Light Number 29. and the Image standeth Number 30. again in the Divine Man Number 31. Image Numb 32. God Numb 33. 197. For when the Will Spirit entereth into Death upon the Cross then it draweth again Divine Substantiality viz. Christ's Flesh to it self and bringeth the same with it self into the Light into the Light world there the Divine Life sprouteth again into the holy Body and the Image standeth free again As here Number 32. is to be seen and dwelleth in God Number 33. and eateth of God's Word or Substance for the Image is here without or beyond Nature in the Liberty but the Humanity is within Nature as is described 198. But as to those Souls which stick in their proud or stately and haughty covetous Works in the Anguish Number 26. they stick indeed in the Magick Anguish-Fire and their works are wood or fuel to or for the Fire 199. But if the Will-spirit do yet turn in it self a little into the Death of Christ and yet also is fast bound to the fierce Wrath that soul hangeth as by a thred to the Death of Christ The Ninth Number Numb 34. 200. This Soul may well thus burn a while till the Will-Spirit can enter into the Death of Christ till its sydereal wood or fuel be burned up when the earthly body dyeth then must the Image bathe which the present too wise and subtle world contemneth but in Death doth find it by woful experience There must this little sparkle which hangeth only by a thred wind it self into the Death
that is done in the twinckling of an eye 281. For the Water in the Deep originateth from the Fire yet not from the fierce Wrath but from the Light for the Light goeth forth from the Fire and hath its own seeking or longing it seeketh to it self a Looking-Glass that it may behold it self and have it for a habitation and draweth it in the Desiring into it self and dwelleth therein and that which is drawn in is Water which apprehendeth the Light else the Deep of the World would not apprehend the Light if the Light did not dwell in the Water the Water is the fulfilling or satiating of the Light in its desiring 282. And the Water seeketh again a Looking-Glass and willeth to have a habitation which is Flesh as ye see that the Water receiveth the glimps or shadow of all Substances or Things in their Body so that the Body it self is represented in the Water which is because the seeking of the Fire hath taken hold of it 283. Further herein is seen the End of Nature for the Eye findeth its Life in the Water and thus it goeth back into the seventh Form and seeketh its Body in the Water and there is further no desire more in the outward this Body desireth no other Body more in the outward but it looketh back after its mother of which ye have a right and true Example in a Looking Glass which is Fire and Water and that receiveth the Image very clearly 184. And thus ye see that the End goeth back again and seeketh the Beginning and nothing further in the outward for this World is at the limit and is included in a Time and runneth on to the Limit and then the End findeth the Beginning and this World standeth as a Model or as a Looking-Glass in the Beginning Let this serve you to the finding of the Mystery and remit your self rightly into the Beginning that ye may be apprehended or known to be a wonder in God's Love 285. And thus ye are to know that the the second Form of the Water consisteth in the Spirit it is its Fathers Looking-Glass its Makers which dwelleth in the Spirit and is found only by its Maker it self findeth not it self for so long as a thing goeth forward externally there is no finding in the Inward internally only the Spirit which dwelleth in the Inward findeth it self in the Outward 286. But the outward Life findeth not the inward unless it have the inward Spirit then is the finding and it is done according to the inward Spirit and then the outward Life speaketh of the inward and yet knoweth it not only the inward Spirit filleth the outward so that the outward is a Mouth and the inward hath and produceth the Word so that the inward Kingdom standeth manifest in the outward in the sound and that now is a wonder 287. The inward is a Prophet and the outward apprehendeth it not but if it do come to apprehend it then it hath God's Substantiality in it viz. God's Flesh Christ 's Flesh the Virgins Flesh and yet the Prophet standeth or consisteth in the Spirit but that Flesh conceiveth its Power or Vertue and assureth the outward Man that he doth even that which his Maker willeth as indeed this Pen is in such a condition and no otherwise 288. Thus we apprehend the ground of this World that it is a Figure of the inward according to both Mothers that is according to both Fires viz. according to the Fire of fierce Wrath and according to the Fire of the Light as the Model viz. the Looking-glass of the Light of Eternity is the Sun and the Looking-Glass of the fierce Wrath is the outward Fire and the Substantiality of both is the Water and the Earth the Earth is the fierce Wraths Substantiality the Water the Lights the Air the Eternal Spirits which is called God the holy Spirit 289. Yet ye are to know that this World is not the Substance of the Eternity but a Figure a Looking-Glass therefore it is called a Principle of or by it self because it hath a peculiar Life of its own and yet standeth in the Magick Seeking of the inward 290 The Word Fiat is the Master of the outward for it holdeth the outward in its conceived or framed Looking-Glass it is not the Looking-Glass it self but a Similitude in which its Spirit discovereth it self in deeds of Wonder to behold the Wonders of Both Fires viz. of the Wrath and of the Love and thus continually bringeth the Substance of all Substances into the Beginning And therefore is this World turning as a Wheel or Orb for the End seeketh continually the Beginning and when it findeth the Wonders then the End giveth the Wonders to the Beginning and that is the Cause of the Creation of this World 291. The Life of all and every Creature is a Wonder before the Beginning for the Abyss knew nothing of it and the beginning of the Eye findeth it all and setteth or placeth the Model in it self so that it hath an Eternal Number and recreateth it self in the Number of the Wonders The Eighth Form of Fire 292. Seeing thus there is ONE Substance in TWO Forms one that taketh on an unsearchable Beginning in it self and holdeth it Eternally and another that is the Eternal Model which compriseth and with its Body is included in a limit therefore we are to consider of the Turba which breaketh the included comprised Life again and setteth the Model of the comprised Wonders in the Beginning and presenteth such things to the Beginning as were not from Eternity but came to be in the comprised Time 293. Beloved Friend to you and such as you are who seek the Beginning is this thing shewn for your Mind is our Mystery seek it in U S not in ME I the outward Man have it not but the Inward in the Virgin in which God dwelleth THAT hath it and that calleth it self twofold 294. My outward Man is not worthy of the Mystery but God hath so ordained it that he might manifest or reveal it to you by means that you might know him by Means and not say it is from my own wit and understanding 295. And seeing you are a learned Person you should know that God loveth also the silly and despised of this World if he seek God as indeed I have done and that the right and true finding or invention sticketh not in Art but in Gods Spirit and Will 296. For this hand is simple and accompted foolish in the esteem of the World as you know and yet there lyeth such a hidden secret or Arcanum therein as is unsearchable to Reason 297. Therefore have a care pour Oyl into the Wounds that desire or require healing and consider well what Christ saith How hard it is for a man to enter into the Kingdom of God who is captivated with cares of the Belly in Might or Potency and Honour 298. You will not find
Anguish into Death and sprouteth forth again into the Liberty and that is the Light together with the Fires source or quality but it now containeth or holdeth another Principle in it for the Anguish is become Love 6. And just such a manner and kind it hath in the Body for the Flesh striveth against the Spirit the outward Fleshes Life is a Looking-glass of the most inward Fire-Life viz. of the Souls Life therefore is the Souls Spirit-Life together with the Light in the Tincture the Middlemost Life and yet becometh generated out of the Soul 7. But understand us according to its precious height the Souls Spirit wherein the Divine Image standeth originateth in the Fire and is first the Will to the Fire but when the fierce Wrath to the Fire so sharpneth and kindleth or inflameth it self then the Will cometh into great Anguish like a dying and sinketh down in it self out of the fierce Wrath into the Eternal Liberty and yet it is no Dying but thus the other or second World cometh to be out of the first 8. For the Will now sprouteth into the other World as a Sharpness out of the Fire but without such Quality flowing forth in the Eternal Liberty and is a moving driving and apprehending of the Anguish Nature it hath all Essences which are become generated in the first sharp fire-Fire-world in the Anguish but they are as one that goeth out of the Fire into the Water where the Anguish of the Fire remaineth in the Water 9. Understand us thus Concerning this Life of the Souls Spirit-Life the Soul is the Center of Nature The Spirit is the precious Noble Image which God created to his Image herein standeth the High-Kingly and precious Image of God for God is also thus and comprehended in the same Lifes quality or source 10. The Spirit is not severed from the Soul No as ye see that Fire and Shining is not severed and yet also is not one and the same it hath a twofold source or quality the Fire fierce wrathful and the Light meek and lovely and in the Light is the Life and in the Fire Δ is the Cause of the Life 11. Thus you may very easily and without much seeking find the Cause of the Contrariety of the Flesh and of the Spirit for the Inward Spirit hath God's Body out of or from the Meek Substantiality and the Outward Spirit hath the fierce wrathfull Fires-Looking-Glasses Body viz. the Souls Looking-Glasses Body which would continually awaken the fierce Wrathfulness viz. the Great Wonders which lie in the Arcanum or secresie of the Souls Sternness therefore the Inward Love-Spirit hindereth it that it should not lift up it self and kindle or inflame the Soul else it would lose its Love-habitation and Image and the Souls Fierce-wrath would destroy it 12. The Contrariety is thus the inward Spirit would be Lord for it Subdueth the outward and the outward would be Lord for it saith I have the Great Wonders and the Arcanum or Secret and thus Glorieth about the Mystery and yet is but a Looking-Glass of the Mystery 13. It is not the Substance of the Mystery but a Seeking or Searching like a palpable Looking-Glass in which the Mystery becometh seen he will needs be a Master being he hath attained one Principle and is an own Self-Life but he is to be accounted a Fool in respect of the Mystery 14. Therefore loving Brother if you would seek the Mystery seek it not in the outward Spirit for so you will be deceived and get but a Glimps of the Mystery go in even to the Cross then seek Gold you will not be deceived you must seek the pure Child without blemish in another World in this world you find only the Rusty or Drossy Child which is altogether imperfect and now take this right thus 15. Go from the Cross back into the Fourth Form there you have Sun and Moon one in another bring it into Anguish into Death and drive on the made or framed Magick body so far till it become again what it was before the Center in the Will and then it is Magical and hungry after Nature 16. It is a seeking in the Eternal Seeking and would fain have a Body therefore give him for a Body Sol viz. the Soul and then it will suddenly make it a Body according to the Soul for the Will sprouteth in Paradise with very fair heavenly fruit without spot or blemish 17. There you have the fair noble and precious Child you Covetous stiff-necked Person we must indeed tell you seeing it is together born and generated with the time and yet we will hereby only be understood by those that are Ours 18. For we mean not A Looking-Glass or Heaven but Gold wherewith you boast that hath so long time been your Idol That is born or generated and puts the Eyes of the blind Cow or Beetle quite out at last so that it seeth less than before but the Children shall see eat and be fat that they may praise God 19. We speak wonderfully here yet onely that which we should speak which yet none wonder at that he knoweth the Mystery who never learned it Doth not an Herb grow without your counsel or advice it enquireth not after Art so also is the Mystery grown without your Art It hath its own School like the Apostles on the day of Pentecost who spake with many Tongues and Languages without the precognita or the fore-skill of Art and so is this Simplicity 20. And it is a forerunning Message to thee Babel of thy Overthrow that thou mayest know it no fierce Wrath or Anger will avail the Star is born or generated which leadeth the Wise-men out of the East but seek them only where thou art and find thy self and cast the Turba away from thee and so thou wilt live with the Children this we speak earnestly there is no other Counsel or Remedy thy Anger is the fire which will devour thy self 21. Or dost thou suppose that we are blind If we did not see we should be silent how would a Lye be pleasing to God and so we should be found in the Turba which sifteth through the work and doings and substance of all men or do we this service for Wages is it our living why do we not hold to depend on Bread according to our outward Reason 22. If it be our day Labour we should do as the Father will have us For †we shall give an account of it in the evening this we speak dearly and earnestly with deep seriousness 23. Thus we can certainly understand the Contrariety of the Spirit and of the Flesh and apprehend very well how Two Spirits are in one another one striving against the other for the one would have God and the other would have Bread and both are profitable and good 24. But let this be said to thee O Child of Man lead thy life Circumspectly let thy Souls Spirit be Lord and then thou wilt
great Mystery 101. For if there were no Fire there would also be no Light and also no Spirit and if there were no Spirit that did blow up the Fire then the Fire would smother and extinguish and would be a Darkness and so one without the other would not be thus they belong both to one another and yet they sever one from the other but without flying away and yet there is a flying of the Spirit 102. To be understood thus look upon a glowing red hot Fire First There is the Matter out of which it burneth and that is the astringent austere source attracted bitter Substance which standeth in an anguish Source or Quality whether it be wood or whatsoever else which is a dark Body 103. Now when that is kindled then a Man sees three Principles 1. The Wood in the Darkness with the outward Source or fountain Quality of this World 2. Which also hath its life else it would not take fire 104. Now the Fire hath a fierce wrathful astringent or sour strong or stern bitter thirsty desirous Source or Quality a devouring Consuming and the Great Bitterness is its right Life a rager and a wakener that hath all Essences of Life in it and is also the power of the Life and of the Driving forth else there would be no Burning 105. And that maketh the great Anguish-seeking after the Liberty and in the Fire it attaineth the Liberty for it consumeth in the fierce wrath the Darkness and also the Matter of the Fire from which the Fire burneth 106. And here we apprehend the One only Spirit which parteth it self into Two Principles into Two Spirits yet not assunder but one flying from the other and yet the one comprehendeth not the other and one is the Life and Cause of the other 107. And therefore it is Two Principles since it giveth or affordeth a twofold Source or fountain Quality and Life and is but one Root which affordeth that the one giveth Life the other giveth food to the Life and this is a wonder and yet Not a wonder for there is nothing that it self can wonder at for it is it self all things in One Substance 108. Now behold the Fire is first the seeking to draw into it self that is the Substantiality the Phur for the Seeking maketh that in the Desiring in respect of its drawing else Nothing would be and the Drawing is the bitter sting a Breaker which cannot endure the Substantiality nor will not endure it and that not willing to endure is an anguish in the will to over-power the Substantiality with the bitter Sting and the Anguish penitrateth or presseth into it self and reacheth after the Liberty and the Liberty is esteemed a Light in respect of the Darkness 109. Now the Anguish is a horrible Sharpness and thus is the Liberty captivated and sharpned so that it is a Fire-flash of Lightning and the Anguish Will in the sharpness of the bitter Flash of Lightning consumeth the Substantiality be it wood or any thing else 110. And when it hath consumed it then is the Anguish again a Darkness and the Flash of Lightning remaineth hidden in it self again and is an extinguishing and the Anguish is in the Darkness viz. before the flash of fire and standeth now in a terrible Source or fountain Quality where the Bitterness in respect of the rough attracting becometh continually generated the more terrible 111. Now observe this is thus according to the outward Principle of this World as is undeniable before our eyes and so then there is in the Eternity such a continual subsisting Substance which we demonstrate to you thus Observe and consider the Depth and read here diligently 112. The sinking down of the Anguish in the eternal Darkness is an eternal Hunger and Thirst and an eternal Desiring and the Darkness in it self attaineth in the Eternity Nothing that it can have out of the Eternity for its satiating or fulfilling therefore it is rightly the very Hunger and Thirst of the Abysse of Hell and of the Anger of God 113. But the will in the Anguish being it can reach or find nothing it maketh to it self a figure and a similitude in the Desiring with the stern strong drawing and the strong astringent bitter dark Substance is the material Similitude it self it devoureth it self and is it self the Matter of the Fire that so the Eternal Flash continueth perpetually and the fierce Wrath is continually eternally ever burning and burneth eternally out of the Darkness and hath its own Life it it self viz. the bitter Sting of the Anguish which raveth and rageth and is the stirring and original of the Life and that is a Principle 114. And understand herein the Eternal desirous seeking an Eternal Covetousness and yet having Nothing but it self an Eternal Envious Enmity a seeking of the Essences wherein then the innumerable and unsearchable Multiplicity in the Will is continually generated and an eternal craftiness or subtilty a continual climing up in the Hunger and an eternal finding in the Will as namely of the Similitude of its desiring the Similitude of the Essences and in the Flash that is revealed or manifested for the Flash raiseth up it self Eternally above the Darkness and in the Flash are the Essences and are continually brought into the Will 115. Thus is the Fire-will a seeking of the rising Pride a contemning of the Darkness it contemneth its own Root it is a covetous one and willeth to devour more then it hath or then is its right It hath all Lust for the desirous Essences become revealed or manifested in the fire and thence it comes that in every will of every Essence there is again a Center of a whole Substance 116. And that is the Cause of the Creation of this World in that the Model hath thus appeared in A Looking-Glass from Eternity and hath stood in the Eternal Essences in the Figure as in a Vigin without generating and hath been seen in the Light of God And thence originateth the Matter of the Earth of the Stars and Elements also all Art Wit or Ingenuity Craft or Subtilty Deceit Falshood Covetousness and high-mindedness in the Creatures of this World 117. For this World is a material seeking out of the Eternal and is in the Creation viz. in verbo Fiat in the word Fiat through the Water-Heaven become material and palpable as is to be seen in Earth and Stones And the Firmament with the Elements is still the seeking and seeketh the Earthly for it cannot reach back into the Eternal 118. For every substance or thing goes forward so long till the End findeth the Beginning then the Beginning swalloweth up the End again and is as it eternally was except this that the Model remaineth for the Model is out of the Eternal out of which the Creation went forth into a Substance like the Wonder-Eye of God 119. Also it is mentioned to you that the Spirit-Air thus originateth out of the bitter eternal
Fire-Spirit which also goeth forward after the Wonders in the Will of the seeking of the Essences as of the Stars and therefore it maketh a whirling about and cometh from many places as from above from beneath from this side and that side and often as a Wheel all according as the Fire-seeking with the Essences of the Stars become kindled 120. And this is together as a wheel of the Mind and hath its own Will-Spirit and an Own Self-Life and an own Will and therefore it is a Principle and standeth so long till the End-findeth the Beginning then the Beginning taketh the End into it self and maketh the Middle and whatsoever was done therein manifest or revealed as you should and will well consider of this unless you be foolish Virgins 121. Also this Dominion standeth no longer then it is in the Number of the Creation for every Day of the Creation is a Circle of a Revolution in the Eye and hath its Number whereof Ten is the Cross X the highest Number and Man hath the Number Ten 10 times Ten viz. A hundred 100. and in the Crown of Paradise the number Thousand 1000. and in the eternal Substantiality in the Divine Center of the Majesty it hath No Number O. 122. Now see aright with good clear eyes God created in six Dayes this World with all Substances or Things and it was finished in the middle of the Sixth Day past Noon towards Evening then began the Rest on the Sixth Day and the Sabbath was the Seventh Day Thus the Eternal Rest found the Beginning of the Creation on the Sixth Day after Noon that was the End there came the Beginning and End together into one and it was manifested what God had made in the Dayes 123. Now since Man hath destroyed the Angelical Body through his Imagination and hath introduced it into a corruptible Number viz. into the Outward Principle therefore he is also therein for he hath lost the Paradisical Number and is set in the hundreth 100 Number where indeed also in the Outward Life his Leader or Conducter is given to him that is he hath given himself to himself therefore his Number of finishing in the Circle of the outward Principle is clearly apprehensible to us 124. If we fundamentally know the Hour of the Sixth Day in which the Creation was finished we would set you down the Year and Day understand of the last Day for it stayeth not one Minute over it hath its Limit which standeth hidden in the Inward Circle 125. Therefore know assuredly that the time is near for in the sixth Day afternoon began the Rest of the Eternal Day and therefore hath God instituted the Sabbath of the Seventh Day for a Rest and continual perpetual Remembrance 126. And as on the Sixth Day towards Evening began the Rest and the entrance of the Revelation of the Works of the Creation where the End hath received the Beginning in again and so the Six Dayes in the Circle have stood as a Wonder So know this that ye were created in Paradise but are gone out of it and entered into the Spirit of the fierce wrathfull Death which hath now wrought its Wonders in you above the half sixt thousand year above 5500 years 127. And now the End hath found the Beginning again and ye shall see also feel and find what the Paradise hath been viz. all those that become generated or born in God 128. For the Paradise is become generated or born again thus spoken after the manner of Reason and not in God but ye cannot escape mortality also the fierce wrath in the Flesh but in the Mind and in the Soul the Paradise standeth now more and more manifested or revealed to the Children of God and they have the right taste of the Power 129. And no Craft or Subtilty nor Might and Power can keep it back no Subtilty can take it away or quench it nor no Devil destroy it for the End hath found the Beginning there is no preventing of it the Might or Power and Falshood breaketh and there is moreover a waiting for the Bridegroom for the Children of God shall become found in Paradise when the Turba in the fierce wrath shall be swallowed up We speak what we dearly and pretiously apprehend and assuredly know in the Wonders 130. Thus as above-mentioned understand us aright there is generated out of the fierce wrath of the Anger out of the Eternal Center out of which this World is become generated and created as a seeking of the Eternal in the Spirit of this World in this Principle wherein we now live and there will continually be generated Falshood Covetousness Craft or cunning Subtilty Deceit Enmity in the will Lying Murder High-mindedness desire of Honour own Self-might and power Art Wit the VVisdom of this World proceeding from Reason for all is out of this Root and standeth in Gods Anger-Wonders And how sine soever Reason and own Self-wit is yet it is in the Anger of God and springeth out of the Abysse 131. Here behold thy self thou fair World it is no conjecture as thou holdst it to be it is apprehended in Ternario sancto in the holy Ternary or Number Three And they that cannot reach this Gole or Limit are captivated of Antichrist and belong at last to this Lake out of which they are grown there is no time more of lingring both Doors or Gates stand open the Turba will swallow up with it self whatsoever is grown up in it 132. Thus now observe us further concerning the Eternal Fire and take a similitude from all fire in this world for what is in the Eternity a Spirit that is in this world a Substance Thus ye see that Fire in it self is an anguishing fierce wrathful climing up bitter substance and source or fountain-quality and yet ye see in the Fires own Form nothing else but the flash of the shining the source or fountain quality of heat ye see not you must only feel that 133. Now ye see also that the burning Fire sendeth a Smoke up from it and in the Smoke is a Water whence Soot cometh to be which cleaves to the wall especially if the fire be closed in that it is not free then is the Soot manifest as in a Furnace this is Soot and Water mixed one in another by which understand the Material Earth out of the Eternal Fire which Lucifer kindled where then in the fierce wrath Time began and the Creation proceeded as in the Third Part is mentioned 134. Now understand the Great Mystery Mysterium Magnum further ye see that every fire giveth light and then ye see that Air goeth forth out of the Fire-source or Quality and ye understand very well that if the fire had not Air again it would smother or go out as all fires smother if they have not Air and yet they also generate Air the Air is the Fires life which originateth out of the anxious bitter stirring Source or
fountain Quality of the Essences out of the Will 135. Now ye see also well that Fire must have somewhat to consume else it is a Darkness and though it devoureth it self viz. it s strong or stern attraction yet that very fire is only a source or fountain quality in the Darkness whereby we understand the Abyss of the Anger which in God is not revealed or manifested but only as a Cause of the Life in the Kingdom of God 136. Ye see this that every Fire must have substance if it must burn understand this thus the Fire affordeth Air the Air Water and it draweth the Air strongly again into it self with the water whence the Fires source or fountain quality of heat becometh mittigated or meekned so that it shineth 137. For without Water no Fire shineth where in a thing the Water is not to be attained there is no shining of the Fire but only a glimps as is to be seen in a glowing or red hot Stone which hath the source or quality of Fire of the shining it hath nothing but only glimps it may be not that but in the Iron ye see a glimps wherein the Fire attaineth the Water Therefore also Iron is at length consumed and getteth rust and a Stone Not. This is thus to be understood according to the outward Principle of this World but according to the inward viz. according to the Kingdom of God observe this understanding the Eternal Fire burneth Eternally but it is a Spirit and in the Kingdom of God not manifested or revealed in a fierce wrathful manner 138. Observe this thus the flash maketh a shining which originateth from the fire and dwelleth not in the fierce wrath of the fire but it satiateth or fulfilleth the fire totally and giveth light also externally out of the fire and is not held or detained by the fire and bringeth also a several source or quallity as Meekness and hath yet the Fires vertue or power Wit or Ingenuity and Art for in the Light is first the Fires Source or Quality in the Essences manifested or revealed 139. Now the Light maketh no source or pain but goeth in it self into a Meekness and is also desirous proceeding from the Fires source or Quality and its desiring is also an attracting as viz. of the meekness and vertue or power into it self and impregnaeth it self with meekness 140. For the Light is also a fire a very yearning fire a desirous fire and a continual finding fire which continually findeth what is generated in the Original 141. All the vertue and power which originateth in the fierce wrathful Fire is manifested or revealed in the Light and the Light desireth that in meekness for the Fires fierce wrathfulness and the Lights shining are Two Principles of a twofold Source or fountain Quality each dwelleth in it self and the one comprehendeth not the Other in Eternity and yet the One is the others Life and Cause Understand it thus 142. As we consider that a horrible anxious Source or Quality maketh a sinking down in it self like a death where then is the parting limit and yet the Anguish in it self retaineth its source or quality but the sincking into it self as a Death entereth into its Aethen where then the Anguish-Life is no more apprehended for the sinking breaketh it self forth out of the Anguish-source like a dying and is a dying whereas yet in the Eternity is no dying but such an Entrance into another World of another Principle of another Source or fountain-Quality 143. For the sinking goeth into the still Eternity as into the Liberty and being the fierce wrathful fires-Source continueth in it self in its life therefore is the sinking a going forth out of the Fire-Life and yet is from the Fire-Life but its source or fountain-spirit it hath not for it is broken off in Death and is the parting-limit in Death that so the sinking presseth through Death and hath another Substantiality viz. another Water wherein the Light shineth wherein no fierce wrathfulness is 144. For in the Eternity is no Death that with-holdeth but only such an entrance in for that which hath no beginning that hath also no end nor ground and thus originateth the Light out of the Fires-Source 145. For the Light dwelleth in the Fire also not in the Fire it is in another world and is another Fire which is called Love Vertue or Power Wonder Sweet Mild or Gentle Pure or Clean and is no Substance and also not Nature but without or besides Nature in another Principle 146. It is nothing else but a Light-flaming powerful Majesty and hath its own spirit which bringeth the sinking through Death which from the Anguish is the sinking through Death which maketh the sprouting out through Death 147. It is in it self free both from the Fire and from the Light and is held or detained by none as little as the fire holdeth or detaineth the Air and it goeth forth out of the Light out of the Power of the Light and openeth all whatsoever is in the Fire-Source or Quality and also in the Lights-Source or Quality 148. But it hath no perception in it self of the Fire but it is a blower up of the Light-Fire a bringer of the Love-Essences into the desirous power or Vertue an Opener of the Love-Essences 149. And yet that we may be understood when we speak thus of the Love-Essences as of another Fire Observe it Behold when the Light becometh thus generated through the fierce wrathfulness so that the one Fire goeth forth out of the other then the Light-fire desireth no more the fierce wrathfulness for it hath dyed away from the fierce wrathfulness and is an own peculiar fire in it self and sendeth its Life out of it self which is a sprouting for it is also desirous and attractive whence Essences exist and hath all forms in it as the Fire-life also hath such a rising up or springing 150. But the Essences are generated out of the Lights power and vertue and so the one alwayes tasting the other there is a mere pure desiring and satisfying or fulfilling whereas yet there is nothing that the Love desiring can draw into it self therefore it draweth it self into it self and impregnateth it self out of the Power of the Majesty so that that very will is full and yet also nothing is there but such power and vertue and Image of the Wonder it is a Similitude of the Birth or Geniture and is the power and vertue it self It is the Substance of the Spirit whence the Spirit hath its food for it goeth forth out of the Image and floweth or bubleth as the Air in this World doth 151. But now if the Spirit findeth no Similitude wich is without or besides it and yet findeth it self thus in the Power and Vertue then it is also desirous for it dweleth in the powers or vertues ground and is not it self the power or vertue therefore its desiring also maketh a Similitude according to it
for a desiring is a seeking and in the seeking standeth the the Figure of the Seeking the Figure maketh the Seeking manifest or revealed 152. Thus the Spirit dwelleth also in its own Figure in the Power or Vertue and in the Light of the Majesty and is an Image according to the Spirits Property 135. Not that the Spirit is the Image but the Seeking its Desiring is the Image for it dwelleth in its self in its seeking and is another Person in its Figure viz. the Powers or Vertues Figure and according to this Substance is God called Threefold in Persons 154. But that we may open your eyes wide to see ALL the Ground of the Deity as it now will and must be therefore behold now the great wonder which we had lost with going out of Paradise where we must labour in the Six Dayes Works of this World and so see what and where we are and ye will find here such a thing as hath stood hidden even to Nature 155. Behold when you will speak of the Trinity look upon the first Number upon A upon the Eternal Beginning which is the Father and then look upon the O in the middle which is the Son then look upon the V which is the Exit of the Holy Spirit which goeth into it self with the sincking through the sharp fierce Wrath into the second Principle which hath E and goeth through the Power or Vertue forth as a light-flaming Flash which hath I. 156. Now take the swift-going of the flaming Flash to it which is T Allmach T des Ewigen GOTTES the Omnipotence of the Eternal God which there in the fierce Wrath as a flash destroyeth and in der LIEB in the Love in the I as a Mighty loving God exulteth through presseth and powerfully exalteth or riseth up and if you put the I thereinto then have you the Matter of the Divine Substance in the Power or Vertue it is Ein Engel an Angel and in the Out-Birth out of the Center it is GOLDT Gold 157. The World is covetous and full of boasting especially those that would be accounted Masters of Arts and say they know Gold and are blind People why see you it not thou wilt say How Go with the outward life into death there must the outward life die and in the Anguish give it self forth into the Number of the Crown viz. into the Thousand Number 1000 there is the End and Death ariseth and standeth up to a glorious Life with a New fair Body and you need give nothing to it but the Soul it bringeth forth manifold fruit there thou hast an Angel which is free from the fierce Wrath for it is totally clean pure seek it and thou wilt find it 158. But thou supposest perhaps to find it thus in thy Old Garment no friend we will now teach you another A B C learn that first then seek if you will then have a love to it if not leave it for the * O is muchnobler and more pretious than the L. An Exposition of the Philosophick Globe or Eye of both the Threefold Circles which especially signifie the two Eternal Principles wherein yet the Third also is clearly understood And how a Man should understand them 162. THese Circles should be like A round Globe having the Cross go through it for it is an Eye of the Eternity that a man cannot delineate fully it is the Eye of the Substance of all Substances signifying the Eye of God which is the Looking-Glass of Wisdom wherein from Eternity all Wonders have been seen and hereby is delinated how it came into substance for the Reader of this book to Think and consider of 163. Not in such a way as if a Man could fully describe or delineate it for the mind or Thought only can apprehend it and only that Mind which can walk in the Divine Mystery not through Art or Reason but through the understanding which the Spirit of God openeth to the humane Souls-Spirit in the Great Mystery else it can NOT be apprehended 164. The Reader should take consideration of the Number and then of what standeth within or without the Circle or where every word in the Circle beginneth and endeth it hath all its assured certain signification for every word standeth in its exact place 165. That which is without the Circle or Wheel signifieth the Libirty of the Abyss without or besides the Principle Number 1. Abysse 166. The great Mystery of the Abysse wherein the Divine Substance in the Looking-Glass of Wisdom generateth it self in the Ground is marked with Number 1. and Number 2. standeth by it so also round about the whole Circle is to be understood Of the three * Circles 167. The Three Circles drawn about one another signifie the Eternal Birth or Geniture of the Divine Substance together with All Eternal Mysteries without and within Nature viz. the Original of all Things or Substances as they are here marked Of that half of the Threefold Circle at the left hand and of Numb 2. 168. The Threefold Circle at the left where without the Circle standeth Number 2. The Mystery without or besides Nature signifieth how the profundity or groundlesness bringeth it self into a Ground viz. the Eye of Eternity the first Will which is called Father of Eterternity and of all Beginnings how in the Trinity in the Wisdom he introduceth himself into an Eternal Ground and dwelleth in himself and possesseth himself and how he bringeth himself into Nature and how Substance originateth as also Perceptibility and Perception Of that half of the Three-fold Circle at the right hand 169. The other Threefold Circle at the right signifieth the Divine Substance of the holy Trinity together with the Angelical World which originateth out of the Great Mystery of the Eternity and is manifested or revealed through the Principle of the Fire Of the Eye in the Circle 171. The Eye in the Circle where the Cross goeth through with an Angle or Point and Line signifieth each of them a World both at the left and right At the left it signifieth the great Mystery of the Dark World wher the Wonder-Eye introduceth it self in Nature At the right it signifieth the light-Light-world where the Divine Mystery hath through the Fire brought it self forth and dwelleth in the majestick Light with the first Mystery of Wonder An Exposition of the Circles at the left hand Numb 3 4 5. 173. The three Characters or Letters AOV marked with Number 3 4 5 signifie the Mystery of the holy Deity without or besides Nature how it manifests or reveals it self in Nature Of A Num. 3. and Tincture Num. 6. 174. A signifieth the first profound or groundless or unsearchable Will which is called Father go about that * Circle to the nether point of it there standeth Tincture Number 6. which is the Wills Ens and the first beginning to
Nature for the Divine Mystery of the Trinity standeth above and the Mystery of Nature beneath each Circle signifieth one Person of the Deity in the first Mystery Of the O. Numb 4. and of Principle and of Fire Numb 7. 175. The O with Number 4. signifieth the Ground of the Mystery viz. the Geniture or Birth of the Heart or Word of God which the first will viz. the A in the Looking-Glass of Wisdom compriseth and holdeth it in self as a Ground of its substance For the O signifieth also the Eye of the Looking-Glass of Wisdom for in the Wisdom is the Eternal Word comprised which manifests or revealeth it self through the Principle of the Fire in the Light World Go from the O about that Circle and so thou findest beneath Principle and Fire Number 7. Of V Numb 5. and of Substance Numb 8. 176. The V with Number 5. signifieth the Spirit of the Mystery without or besides Nature viz. the first eternal profound groundless or unsearchable Will-Spirit which originateth out of the Will and in the Power or Vertue of the Word in the Great Mystery and goeth forth out of the Will and Word and its Exit maketh Substance viz. Wonders of the Power Colours and Vertue whereas yet in the Mystery of the Profundity Groundlesness or Unsearchableness without or besides Nature no colours are apprehended for they lye all in ONE and it is the twinckling of a great Wonder and that is called a Substance of the Wonder Go about from V on that Circle and thou findest beneath at Number 8 Substance signifying that all Substance is beneath the Spirit of the Number Three or Trinity and that men must alwayes distinguish Substance from the Deity 177. For in Substance originateth Nature with its seven Forms for the Number Three is only a Spirit in Substance and yet there is also no Substance without the Number Three for the Desire of the Number Three is the Eternal Magia and maketh Substance it bringeth into a ground according to the Model which the Spirit openeth in the wisdom out of her is the Creation proceeded according to the Model of the virgin-like Wisdom Further Information Concerning the First Principle and the Mystery of the Beginning in the Creation and of the Dark World how the Angle or Point of the Cross with Number 9. at the left with its upper and neather Space is understood Of FATHER Number 9. 178. Number 9. there standeth before the Angle or Point of the Cross FATHER and before that the Abysse signifying the Mystery of the Father without or besides Nature for with the Angle of the Cross Nature beginneth The first and Greatest Mystery is the Abysse where the Nothing introduceth it self into a will which is called FATHER or the Original to somewhat Out of the Mystery of the Father is the Creation through Nature originated A Man is here to understand the Eternal Nature with its Seven Forms with or by this Mystery Soul Numb 10. 179. At the Angle or Point of the line standeth Soul Number 10. signifying the Original of the Eternal Spirits viz. Angels Souls of Men the Angle or Point signifieth the Center in Nature where the Threefold Spirit revealeth or manifests it self with or by Nature signifying the Magick Fire in the Fathers Property out of which the Angels have their Original as also the Souls of Men. 180. A man should here understand the Ground and Original of an Eternal Spirit for nothing is Eternal unless it hath its orsginal out of the Eternal Magick Fire This Original is not understood to be the true or right Spirit but to be the Center viz the Cause of the Spirit Souls Will Numb 11. 181. Every true or right Spirit is understood with the understanding in the Light of Life for in the Fire there can be no right or true understanding but in the desire of the Light Therefore must the fiery Will turn it self to the Heart of God viz. to the Power or Vertue of the Light and understanding as here is to be seen where upon the line of the Cross standeth the Souls Will marked with Number 11 and there it receiveth Power and Vertue from the Heart of God and is generated or born an Understanding Spirit Will Numb 12. and Soul N umb 13. 182. For it receiveth the Power or Vertue of the Light in the Meekness and Humility and goeth with its Will-Spirit viz. with the noble or pretious Image Similitude of God through the Power or Vertue of the Heart into the second Princiciple viz. into the Light World as here at the right beyond the Heart in the other or second Circle is to be seen where standeth Will Number 12. and then Soul Number 13. signifying how the Soul out of the fires source or quality out of the Fathers Property entereth into the Sons Power or Vertue and Property and dwelleth in the Divine Power or Vertue in the Light-world HOLY SPIRIT Numb 14. 183. Without or beyond the Angle or Point of the Cross standeth HOLY SPIRIT Number 14. signifying the holy Spirit which from Eternity originateth in the Will of the Father at the left at the Angle or Point Number 9. and bringeth it self through Nature through the Heart and Divine Power or Vertue at the right without or beyond Nature also through the Angels or Souls-Spirits Power or Vertue forth and dwelleth in the Liberty in the Glance of the Power or Vertue and Majesty and is in Nature yet of Nature unapprehended but only in the Divine Power or Vertues Property Image Numb 15. 184. Beyond the word HOLY SPIRIT Number 15. standeth Image also without or beyond Nature signifying that the noble or pretious Image sprouteth forth out of the Souls Fire as a Blossome or Flower out of the Earth and hath no feeling or sense of the Pain of the fiery Property for the Fire standeth in it as it were swalowed up and yet it is there but in another source or fountain quality viz. a desire of Love a light-flaming Fire in Divine Property Abysse Numb 16. 185. Beyond Image standeth Abysse Number 16. signifying that the right true Image standeth in the Abysse without or beyond all source or pain and dwelleth in Nothing but only in it self with or through it GOD. Therefore there is Nothing that can find touch or break it but only the Divine Power or Vertue for it standeth not in Nature although indeed with the Root it proceedeth from Nature and yet it is another thing as an Apple is another thing than the Tree though it stand upon the Tree and receive power and vertue from the Tree and yet the Sun giveth it also power and vertue So also the Divine Sun viz. the Majesty giveth the Image power and vertue Of the Word Omnipotence Numb 17. and Wrath Numb 18. 186. Further at the left standeth Number 17. Omnipotence and it standeth also without or beyond the Circle signifying the Fathers
of Christ for it hath lost body and substance and standeth naked and bare without Divine Substance or Body in God's Mercy or Compassion in the Divine Tincture viz. in the Ninth Number Number 34. and waiteth for the last Judgment wherein God will in the Tincture bring and restore again whatsoever Adam lost but its here-acted works will not go or pass through the Fire but the dark Magick Fire hath swallowed them up into its Mystery into the Dark World Let this be said to thee O Man Souls Eternal Habitation Numb 35. 201. After Ninth Number standeth the Souls Eternal Habitation Number 35. signifying that these escaped Souls are notwithstanding in God in the Angelical World but without their works and cannot so highly attain the Glance or Lustre of the Majesty as those Souls which have here cloathed themselves with God's Power and Vertue The word Habitation goeth into the Liberty without or beyond Nature as also above Image doth for the Soul must stand in Nature but the Images Habitation is without or beyond Nature in the Divine Liberty Angelical World Numb 36. 202. Without or beyond this Habitation standeth the Angelical World Number 36. signifying the Angels Courts and Quires or Princely Thrones in the Liberty of the Divine Majesty where yet their root also standeth IN Nature but is not apprehended Proud Devil Numb 37. Will of the Devil Lucifer Numb 38. 203. At the left in the upper space Number 37. standeth Proud Devil or stubborn Devil with two Lines one reaching up upon the Character or Letter O Number 4. and the other reaching up above the Great Mystery of the Number Three where standeth Will of the Devil Lucifer Number 38. 204. Here is the Devils Fall to be considered he hath brought his proud or stubborn Will up from the Line or Stroak of the Cross aloft and hath willed to rule over or above the Mystery of the Divine Wisdom in wit and cunning suttlety and fierce wrath in the Fires might or power and to kindle the Mystery of the Number Three that he might be Lord As indeed he then kindled the Substantiality in the Mystery whence Earth and Stones have come to be and hath willed to fly out above the Mystery of the Number Three Number 38. as still at this day he desireth to fly out above the Angelical Princes-Thrones Abysse of the Dark World Number 39. Eternal Hell of Devils Number 40. 205. And upon this hath followed his thrusting out from the Divine Mystery so that he is Thrust out from the Superiour Thrones into the Dark Magick fire and is Thrust down below that is into the Abysse of the Dark world For he must dwell externally without the Principle in the Fire-crack viz. in the first Three Forms to Fire in the Anguish there he hath his Hell as below at Number 40. is to be seen and thereinto also the Damned souls fall back so that Eternally they cannot see or behold God The second Cross Line upwards thus †206. Over the line Number 1. above aloft standeth Abysse Eternity signifying the Liberty without or beyond the Principle and thereby is understood the Mystery of the Eternity wherein every Creature standeth in its source or fountain Quality in its own Fire be it in Darkness or Light and hath therein no other Light than shineth within it which light also it apprehendeth Externally without it self there are Both worlds viz. the Light-world and Dark-world are there in one another But the Light becometh not attained unless a creature be capable of it 207. There are Angelical Thrones which we know nothing of Experimentally our knowledge reacheth but only into the Extent of the Place of this world so far as the kindling in the Creation reached and of THAT is this wheel made with the Cross SON Numb 41. and of the Heart 208. Above the upright Line standeth SON and at the Left Angle or Point Number 9. FATHER and at the Right Line Number 14. HOLY SPIRIT signifying the Birth or Geniture and Persons of the Holy Trinity The Heart in the Cross is the Center and ♡ signifyeth the Eternal Band of the Ternary 209. The Word SON Number 41. signifieth the WORD which the Eternal FATHER continually and from Eternity speaketh in the Light and Dark world according to each worlds source or fountain Quality or Property 210. But in that the Three Persons at the Cross are free and touch not the Line it signifieth that God is free from Nature and not in the apprehension of Nature but he dwelleth in himself indeed in Nature but unapprehended by that which doth not give up it self into Him Of the Heart in the Cross 211. The Heart in the Cross signifieth that God's Heart hath manifested it self in Nature by or with the Principle of the Fire whence the Majestick Light originateth Secondly It signifieth the Manifestation or Revelation in the Humanity wherein God's Heart hath manifested it self by or with a Humane Heart and how that Humane Heart hath attained the comprehension of the Holy Trinity As indeed it is the Center in the Cross by which a Man is to understand the Inward Man viz. the Inward Heart 212. And you see that the HOLY SPIRIT at the Right on or in the Line and at Number 14. goeth forth from the Heart into the Light World signifying that the Holy Spirit dwelleth in the Regenerate or New born Heart viz. in the Image and continually introduceth the Images Will into the Divine Light-world And as this Heart in the Cross is united with the Holy Ternary so must the Humane Heart understand the Inward-Man be united with the Deity that God may be in it All in All its Will and Deed. 213. But that the word SON Number 41. above the Cross Line a loft standeth distinguished from the Heart signifieth that the Man Christ is become Lord over all and is the King over this Circle for God hath manifested himself in the Humanity and this Man compriseth the whole Divine Substance in himself for within him and Externally without him is one and the same fulness One God and Divine Substance there is no other place where we can be able to apprehend God then in the Substance of Christ there is the whole fulness of the Godhead or Deity Bodily or Corporeally Heaven Number 42. 214. The Word Heaven on the upright Cross-line Number 42. signifieth that the Heaven is in the Man Christ and also in us and that we must through his Cross and Death go to him into his Heaven which himself is for on the Cross is Heaven become opened to us again or New-born and Regenerated to us Secondly It signifieth that the right or true Divine Heaven is an Habitation of the Divine Desire viz. of the Divine Magia therefore it is called not aningoing but an ingeneration of God's Fire into Divine Substantiality and that even only on the Cross viz. through and in the Birth or Geniture of the Holy
56. 228. But Man was out of the Mystery created an Image and Similitude of or according to God to or for God's Wonder Therefore at the right Number 54. standeth Wonder For he was a Wonder of all things or Substances a Lord of All things or Substances taken out of all things or Substances and was in the Inward Image an Angel As next Wonder in the Liberty standeth Angel Numb 55. For his Spirit dwelleth in the Liberty of God viz. in the Majesty as beyond the word Angel Number 56. Spirit standeth Which all signifieth the right or true Man viz. the First before the Fall and the second in Christ into which he must enter again or is rent or separated from God Four Elements Numb 57. 229. Under Mystery Number 55. standeth Four Elements they begin at the left on the outward Circle and go to the right through the Cross through two Circles signifying the outward World which originateth as an Out-birth out of the inward Substance on the outward Circle and bringeth its Wonders into the Mystery first into the second Principle into the first two Circles for they shall not go with their Substance into the Liberty through the Third Circle at the Right but pass in the Principle into the Mystery and in the Principle be tryed or purged in the Fire For there is the Limit of Separation The Souls Joy in Ternario Sancto Number 58. 230. Above on the second Circle at the Right Number 45. standeth Son the same is the Judge and Separator and beneath on the same Circle Number 58. standeth Souls Joy in Ternario Sancto in the Holy Ternary signifying that the Soul shall have joy in its works which it hath wrought in the Four Elements to the Praise and Glory of God which it hath introduced into the Angelical World into the Mystery For the Four Elements stand with their Root in the Great Mystery 231. And were the Earth not come into such a perished Condition and that the Devils Poyson and kindling or inflamation had not been done it were still one and the same Substance with or in the other Three Elements as indeed it is now in the Heavenly Substance Spiritual Bodies Habitation Num. 59. 232. This Bit hath Adam swallowed down into himself and thereby Lost his Angels Form For the Four Elements should stand hidden in him and he should live only in the One Element in Gods Power and Vertue and know or experiment nothing of the Evil As at the Right in the Liberty Number 59. standeth the Spiritual Mans Habitation there should the Images Body dwell viz. the Souls Body but that became hindred from it it must now under the Earth and become included or shut up in the Earthliness Earth Number 60. 233. Under the Four Elements standeth Earth Number 60. signifying that the Earth is wholly fallen back to the Inner World For the word toucheth neither the Left nor the Right Circle it is as a Death but the Cross goeth through it signifying its Restauration or bringing again to what it was that the Humane Earth is new-Born or Regenerated on the Cross and that the Heavenly and Divine Substance shall be severed from the Dark worlds Substance through the Fire of God where then shall be new Earth in a Heavenly Source or Fountain Quality Form Essence and Property and that which is hidden in the Earth in the Heavenly Part shall sprout or spring again Further is to be Considered that the Earth standeth thus upon or in the Abysse for it reacheth no Principle therefore it must pass away or vanish Earthly Man Numb 61. 234. Underneath standeth Number 61. Earthly Man where the Cross goeth through the midst of the Word which signifieth the fallen Earthly Man who is fallen under and into the Earth that is he is fallen home or back to the Earth and the Cross parteth or separateth the words Earthly and Man for Man shall again become separated from the Earth and enter into his Eternal Part either into the Light or Dark world Wonder Number 62. 235. Under the Cross Line standeth Number 62. Wonder signifying that the evil Wonder also the Evil part of the Earth shall in the Judgement of God when God will make separation fall home or back to the Abysse of Darkness and that shall be to All Devils and Evil Men their Earth on which they shall dwell one among another for the Abysse standeth under it below at Number 1. Babel Number 63. 236. Near Wonder standeth Babel Number 63. signifying how Babel is only a Wonder of the Abysse and worketh only Wonders in the Abysse Own Reason in Babel Numb 64. 237. Further above under the Circle at the Right after Earthly Man Number 64. standeth Own or self Reason in Babel which goeth round about the outside of the Circle of the Second Principle and goeth in own self Authority under the Divine World backward and supposeth She is in God and serveth or worshippeth him but is without God in self She or it Teacheth and doth only its own Things or Matters for it self for its own Ends it Ruleth the outward world in own self Reason without Gods Spirit and Will only according to its own Will Therefore it goeth about the Light world dissembling in Hypocrisie and giveth God good Words and continueth only without God upon or in the Abysse and thereinto also it falleth back and entereth Wonder of the Great Folly Num. 65. 238. Under Own Reason Number 65. standeth Wonder of the Great Folly signifying Babel who hath found all Art Suttelty and Cunning Politick Devices and Lost it self It seeketh Gold and loseth God it taketh Earth for Gold Death for Life and that is the Greatest Folly that is found in the Substance of All Substances as is sufficiently mentioned in other Places The Conclusion 239. Thus we see when we are at home not in this World but in the two inward Worlds in which soever we labour here into that we enter when we die we must Lose the outward we must only be new-born or Regenerated on the Crosse 240. Babel hath turned it self wholly away from the Crosse which signifieth the Proud own self Reason-Wise Subtle Men who rule and order themselves in or according to the Wit or Ingenuity of Folly 241. The Earthly Man on the Crosse Number 61. signifieth the simple heap or company which yet hang to the Crosse of Christ and become at length new-born or regenerated through the Crosse 242. But Reason hath even rent and torn it self off from the Cross in its own self Pleasure and Voluptuousnesse in its own Pomp Might or Power and Laws and that is a Wonder of Folly which even the Devils do scorn and deride 243. This the Reader should further consider of for there lyeth much under it it hath the understanding of all the Three Worlds See thy self therein it is a right true Looking-Glass for the Number Three is a Cross and hath Two
Kingdoms in One parting themselves thus by the sinking down through Death 244. Therefore would the Devil be above God and therefore God became Man that he might bring the Soul out of the fierce Wrath through Death into another Life into another World which yet standeth in the First but they turn their backs as this Figure standeth and the Cross standeth between both the Principles and goeth out of the Fire-Life into the Light-Life 245. Beloved Sir understand us thus the Soul originateth in the Fire-Life for without the fire source or fountain quality no spirit doth subsist and it goeth with its own self will out of it self forth through Death that is it esteemeth it self as dead and sinketh down in it self like Death and so falleth with its will through the fires Principle into God's Light-Eye and then it is the holy Spirits Chariot on which he rideth 246. But when it will go of it self it then continueth in its own Fire-Nest in the Original where it was awakened like Lucifer for it was awakened at the beginning Point of the Cross at the left as in this Figure is to be seen that is its original as shall be further mentioned 247. The Soul is a total Figure of a Cross and is like a Cross-Tree according to the outward Image of the Body the Body having two Arms which signifie two Principles the Body standing in the midst as a whole Person the Heart is the First Principle the Brain the Seond the Heart hath the Soul and the Brain the Souls-Spirit and it is a new Child and yet not a new one the Stock is from Eternity but the Branches are born or generated out of the Stock 248. Though indeed it hath not been a Soul from Eternity yet it hath in the Virgin of the Wisdom of God upon the Cross from Eternity been known and in the Root belongeth to God the Father and in the Soul to God the Son in the Will to God the holy Spirit 249. And being it could not stand in the Father in its will when it would rule in its will and thereby fell into the fire of the fierce Wrath therefore the Father gave it to the Son and the Son took it into himself and became in it a Man and brought it again with or by the word Fiat into the Majesty into the Light For the Son introduceth it through the Angel and Death again into the Eye of Holiness at the right into another World in God to the Angels of which here-following shall be mentioned further 250. Now come we again to the Sixt Form of Fire and it is to be known why we set the Cross here which else is the Tenth Number accounting according to the order or way of Reason but according to the two Principles the Eye appearing parted the Cross belongeth to the place between the fift and the sixt Form wherein Light and Darkness part 251. But know that God is the Beginning and the End therefore we set the Cross according to reason at the End for there we go through Death into Life it is our Resurrection 252. The Tenth Number 10. is again the first and also the last and beyond through that is Death and after or beyond Death the Hell that is the fierce Wrath of Darkness that is externally without or beyond the Cross for it falleth again into the A and in the A is the Creator into which Lucifer would have flien back but was thrust out into the Darkness and there is his Kingdom in the Source or Torment 253. You should understand us thus that we by the Twofold Eye understand one round Globe thus partible or each half divided assunder and turns away from the other where the Cross is standing from Eternity within it A man cannot fully describe it with any pen or pencil for it is so in one another it is but ONE only yet TWO the Spirit understandeth it only and whosoever doth not enter into the Regeneration through the Death upon the Cross as viz. into Gods Body he understandeth not this and let him leave it uncontrouled or he will be a Maker and Controuler-Devil We would have the Reader faithfully warned and it is in earnest Sincerity and true Zeal 254. For this Figure hath All or total Ground or the Foundation of All things as deep as a Spirit is in it self and is not apprehensible or knowable to the Reader without Right or True Eyes also a man cannot set it down in due exact Order aright with any words for the first is also the last and the middle goeth through All yet is not known or apprehended but IN it self Therefore searching is not the chief or most especial means to know or apprehend the Mystery but to be born or generated in God is the right Invention or finding for without that is Babel 255. All lyeth in the Will and in the earnest Sincerity that the Will enter into the Magia for the Eternity is magical All is out of the Magia come into Substance for in the Eternity in the Abysse is Nothing But that which is is the Magia 256. And out of the Magia existeth Phylosophy which searcheth out the Magia and seeketh therein and findeth Astrology Eternally and Astrology seeks again its master Preceptor or Teacher and Maker Composer or Producer viz. A stronomy the Sulpher the Mercury which hath a Principle of its own and the third Magia is therein viz. the Medicus the Physician who seeketh the Corrupter or Disease and will heal or cure it but he findeth the fourth Magia viz. the Theologus the Divine who seeketh the Turba in all things and will heal the Turba but he findeth the Eye of the first Magia and there he seeth that all is the wonder of the Magia and there he leaveth seeking and becometh a Magus in the first Will for he seeth that he hath all power to find to make what he will and there he maketh of himself an Angel and continueth in himself and thus he is free from all others and continueth standing Eternally This is the highest Ground of the Substance of all Substances 257. And though indeed the Whore at Babel will not relish this therefore we say with good ground that Babel in her Children are in Magick Philosophy Astrology Astronomy Medicine or Physick and Theology or Divinity born or generated of Whoredom 258. Babel is the true Child of none of these she is a perverse stubborn obstinate Bastard we have apprehended or known her in the A and O by searching of her Philosophy and Astrology and have found her in all Looking-Glasses to be a Whore who committeth Whoredom in all Looking-Glasses 259. She saith She is the Eye but she hath a false or adulterous Eye that glanceth out of or from her Whoredom out of Pride Covetousness Envy and Anger and her seat in the Magia is the averse back-turned left Eye She
with its Will Property be directed and inclined to be in God 5. But all Properties lye in it it may awaken and let in what it will and whatsoever then it awakeneth and letteth in that is acceptable to God if it stand converted with its will into Humility and into Obedience into God's Love then may it do what wonders it will it standeth or serveth all to Gods Honour and Glory The Third Question How the Soul is created to the Image of God 1. IT is clearly shewn that the Number Three with all the Three Principles hath pleased or longed to have a Total Similitude in Substance and Property according to the Sustance of all Substances 2. And the pleasure or longing to have that hath become awakened in Gods Heart as a Great Wonder 3. And that awakening was the harsh or astringent Fiat viz. the desirous attraction which hath drawn out of ALL into ONE and is become an Image according to the Similitude of God according to Heaven and this World and also according to the Anger-World It hath created all viz. the Total Fiat in verbo Domini in the Word of the Lord out of God's and out of the Anger-Kingdom 4. And as there is nothing higher than the Soul so there is nothing that can break it for all is under it and in it it is a child of the Total Substance of all Substances Thus it was created The Fourth Question What the Breathing in of the Soul is and when it is done 1. EVery Spirit without a Body is raw or void and knoweth not it self therefore every Spirit desireth a Body for its food and for its habitation 2. Now being God had before the Soul created the Third Principle as a Looking-Glass of the Deity therefore was the Looking-Glass clearly appendant to the Eternal for it was generated out of the Eternal Wonders and so created Therefore also the Third Principle would not leave the Soul free being it also was created out of God's Wonders and stood in the Beginning as a Figure in God's Wisdom and desired seeing it was material that it also might have a material Similitude in or on the Soul so stirred up in the Souls Creation also its Spirit together in the Fiat 3. And there was the outward Image according to the Spirit of this World laid hold on by the outward Fiat and became a Body created out of the Earths Matrix A Mesch a Mixture a Red Earth consisting of Fire and Water 4 And the Heavenly Matrix longed also after the Soul and would that the Soul should bear its Image and with the Bodies creation laid hold of its own Fiat and did create before the earthly Fiat created that was the First for out of the Center of the Word went the Fiat forth with the Word thus was the Third Principle Created in the Second 5. The Virgin-Wisdom surrounded the Souls Spirit first with heavenly Substantiality with heavenly Divine Flesh and the holy Spirit gave the heavenly Tincture which made heavenly Blood in the Water as in our Third Book is mentioned at large 6. Thus stood the inward Man in Heaven and its Essences were Paradisical its glance in the inward Eye was Majesty an incorruptible Body that could understand God's and the Angels Language the Language of Nature as is to be seen in Adam that he gave all Creatures their Names every one according to its Essence and Property he stood thus in the outward Image and yet knew not the outward Image by Experience as indeed the outward Body hath no apprehension 7. In this Twofold Body which was created on the Sixt Day on the Sixt hour of the Day even in the Hour when Christ was hanged on the Cross was the Kingly or Royal Soul after the finishing of the Body breathed in by the holy Spirit into the Heart into the holy Man into its Principle like an awakening of the Deity 8. The Third Number hath moved it self with the Souls breathing in for it was upon the Center in the Seed as a sprout of the springing of the Essences thus it was breathed in into the inward Center into the inward Man into the Heavenly Heart-blood into the Water of the Eternal Life with all the two inner Principles 9. And the Outward Spirit viz. the Air with the total outward Principle with Stars and Elements hung to the Inward and the outward Spirit breatheth into him its life together also with the Soul through the Nostrils into the Heart into the outward Heart into the Earthly Flesh which yet was not so Earthly for it became corporeal out of the Matrix out of the seeking out of which the Earth came to be 10. Thus the Holy Spirit rode upon the Souls Chariot upon the Inward Majestick Will and moved upon the Water for the Water comprehended him not therefore he moved upon it and in it it is all one and the Soul did burn or flame out of the Heart-blood as the Light out of a Candle and went through all the Three Principles as a King over his Country or Dominion 11. It could potently rule over the outward Principle if it were with its will entered again into the Heart of God into the Word of the Lord. 12. Also the Source or Quality of the fierce Wrath did thus together press in with the Breathing in viz. with the Original of the Soul 13. And the Soul could not otherwise continue to be God's Image unless it continue in Humility and Obedience and incline or set its will into God's Will wherein it was an Angel and God's Child else there was great danger for a Creature to over-power two Principles viz. the Angry and the Outward which was generated out of the Anger 14. Therefore its Temptation was not the mere biting of an Apple and hath endured for a few hours only but Forty Dayes so long as Christ was tempted in the Wilderness and even by all the Three Principles and Israel in the Wilderness when Moses was Forty Dayes upon the Mount when they also stood not but made a Calf The Fifth Question How the Soul is peculiarly formed and fashioned or framed 1. VVHen a Twig or Branch groweth out of a Tree then its Fashion or Shape is from the Tree it is not the Stock or the Root but yet its Form is like the Tree So also when a Mother breedeth a Child it is an Image of her 2. And that cannot otherwise be for there is nothing else that can make it otherwise unless it be fallen back home to the Turba which often awaketh a Monster according to the Spirit of this World according to its beginning or inceptive Maker viz. the Moon where the Fiat maketh a Moon-Monster in the Turba 3. Thus we are to apprehend and know in what Form it is viz. of a round Globe according to God's Eye through which the Cross goeth or pierceth and parteth it self into two parts viz. into Two
Constellation the Elements and if it be not a mymmick Ape suffereth it self to be captivated then it is powerful enough over the outward and the outward must suffer it self to be subdued if the Soul sinketh it self down into God and cometh upon the Chariot of the Bride again into the outward that it hath the holy Spirit for an assistant 7. Then no hinderance from the Devil availeth any thing it destroyeth his nest and driveth him out he must stand in scorn and derision 8. And this is our Instruction and Answer to this Question that it is not so to be understood that when a mans Head is cut off and the Blood runneth out and the outward Life breaketh that it hitteth and killeth the Soul 9. No it loseth indeed one Principle but not the Substance of that Principle that followeth after the Soul in the Tincture in the Spirit as a Shadow for the outward Substance reacheth not the inward in the Soul but only through the Imagination 10. Else there is nothing in this World that can touch or kill the Soul no Fire nor Sword but only the Imagination that is its Poyson for it is Originally proceeded out of the Imagination and continueth Eternally THEREIN The Twelft Question How the Souls enlightening is 1. VVE are to consider that if the Sun were taken away out of this World then all things would be in Darkness and then outward Reason might say we are in Dark Death and in the fierce wrathfulness of the Cold and it were so indeed 2. Now behold O beloved Mind consider when thy Body perisheth then thy Spirit also loseth the Sun and then how thou wilt be in the Light and by what means thou wilt see I offer to you in simplicity for your mind to consider of 3. A thing that is in the Eternal Liberty if it continually entereth into the Eternal Liberty hath no Darkness for it dwelleth in nothing which affordeth that it is free as the Eye of God which seeth into it self by or through the Substance 4. When it imagineth in or according to the Lust Pleasure or longing after any thing then the Will goeth into that thing which the desirous Pleasure or longing it self maketh that very thing receiveth or taketh in the will into it self and overshadoweth it so that it dwelleth in the Darkness and can have no Light unless it go out again into the Liberty 5. Thus we give you earnestly to understand that in all our matters and doings we have no Light if we enter with the will into that which is done or acted if we set our Heart and Will upon the Work of our Hands viz. upon Covetousness Then we are in our Souls totally blind and have no Light in us but only the outward Light of the Sun which giveth light to the outward Body if that breaketh or perisheth then is the Soul captivated with that thing 6. Understand here The Souls Spirit and Will for the stock or stem of the Soul is a dark valley it hath no Light and if perhaps it lift up kindle it self yet it is but a fierce wrathful Fire-Flash and is like the Devil and cannot attain the Divine Light in it self 7. The Cause is it hath introduced Abomination into its Will and Spirit which darkneth the Spirit and holdeth it captive with the Turba for God's Light goeth not back again but forward into the Eternity 8. And therefore is God's Eye twofold or in two parts and standeth back to back as is shewed above in the Figure One part goeth forward into the still Eternity into the Eternal Nothing viz. into the Liberty 9. The other goeth back again into the Desiring and maketh darkness in the Desiring and therein the Center of Nature and driveth on to the great Anguish and Sharpness 10. Where then the Will sinketh down again out of the Anguish through the Darkness into the still or quiet Liberty and so bringeth along with it out of the Anguish the fierce wrath of the Mobility and the earnest severe Sharpness 11. In which Sharpness the Liberty when the will bringeth the sharpness thereinto becometh a high Triumphant majestick Light which is called God's Light which giveth light Eternally and can be barred in by nothing for it giveth Light in the Eternal Liberty and desireth nothing more 12. And now if thou earthly Man shouldst think that God would receive thy Spirit into his majestick Light whilst thou introducest Abominations viz. Covetousness which hath pride and state which is the Fire-Life of Covetousness into thy will then thou wouldst thereby darken God's Majesty and thy will and spirit would stick still only in thy Covetousness and would burn with the fire-source or quality of the Soul in the glance of a looking-glass viz. in pride or state and couldst not reach or attain God's Majesty 13. And if thou didst sit in the Cross of the holy Number Three and wert surrounded with all the holy Angels yet thou didst but sit in the darkness and thy spirit would give Light only into the Looking-Glass of that substance or thing which thou thy self hast introduced into the Spirit 14. Therefore now if the Soul with its Spirit in its Image will behold God and see into God's Majesty and Eternal Light then must it in this world go two wayes and then it will retain the Eternal Body viz. God's Image as also the outward Life together with the Earthly Body and will introduce the Wonders for which God hath created it in the outward life which it shall awaken in the outward life even ALL of them into the inward life and eternally rejoyce it self therein and have them as a Looking-Glass and the right and true way is as followeth The highly pretions Gate of the Morning Redness or Aurora 15. Behold thou beloved Soul if thou wilt have God's Light and see with God's Eye and wilt also have the Light of this world and nourish thy Body and seek the Wonders of God then do it as God himself doth it 16. Thou hast in thy Soul Two Eyes which are set back to back one of another one seeth into the Eternity and the other back into Nature and goeth alwayes on forth and seeketh in the Desiring and maketh one looking-glass after another let it be so it should be so God would have it so 17. But the other Eye turn not that back into the seeking but with the right Eye alwayes draw the left backwards to thee and let the Eye together with the will of the wonders not go from thee from the Eye which is in-turned into the Liberty draw it s opened made or acted wonders to thee 18. Let that very Eye seek food for the earthly Life but let it not go into the food viz. into covetousness but draw it hard and close to the seeing Eye and let it not go 19. But let the hands work and make or procure food and let the Eye draw the Wonders to it
lye shut up in both sexes in the Man and in the Wife then clearly the Turba stirreth it self in that the Essence of the Seeds drive up to a false or wicked Imagination to a false or wicked desire 2. And though indeed the Spirit doth subdue the Body yet it imagineth and that the Turba causeth in the Seeds and no Man can well deny but that to many that very Imagination it self is offensive and they wish it banished from them where there is a right sincere Spirit therefore ye are to apprehend that the Souls Spirit sticketh in a miserable Pinch and cannot be freed or loosed till the Turba taketh the Body 3. There is no full union or agreement between the outward and the new-born or regenerate Man the outward would continually devour the Regenerate for they stand in one another but yet each hath its own Principle so that the outward cannot over-power the inward if the Spirit do but continue in strife 4. And they can thus well cleave one to another for they all three stand or serve to God's Wonders if they stand in their right and due order or subordination each standing or continuing in its own Principle 5. For the Soul hath the Fire-Dominion and is the cause of the life of all three Principles and the Spirit hath the Lights Dominion in which the noble or pretious Image standeth together with God's Love and the outward Spirit hath the earthly Lifes dominion which should seek and open the Wonders and the inward Spirit should give it wisdom wit understanding to do it and the Soul should manifest or reveal to it the Abyss viz. the great Secresy 6. The Soul is the Jewel and the Souls Spirit is the inventor or finder of the Jewel the earthly Spirit is the seeker and the earthly Body is the Mystery wherein lyeth the Arcanum of the great hidden Secresy for the Deity hath manifested or revealed it self with or by the Earthliness as in a comprehensible Substance therefore now THREE Seekers belong to the Soul 7. And you should not look upon it so as if we undervalued the outward Life for it is the most profitable for us of all as to the great Wonders of God there is nothing more profitable to the whole Man then that he stand still in his Threefold Dominion and not go back with the outward into the inward but go with the inward into the outward 8. For the outward is a Beast and belongeth not to the inward but its Wonders which are generated forth out of the inward and have opened or discovered themselves in a comprehensible Substance they belong with their Figures not with their Substance to the inward those should the inward Spirit receive and take in viz. God's Deeds of Wonder for they will in Eternity be its JOY 9. But we say that the Soul can very well be retained or held in the New Man if its Tincture Spirit do but hinder the seeking and Imagination and though the outward Spirit be Beastial yet the inward understanding Spirit can hold the outward and subdue it for that is its Lord but he that letteth the Beastial Spirit be Lord he is a Beast and hath also a Beastial Image in the inward Figure in the Tincture 10. And he that letteth the Fire-Spirit viz. the Turba be Lord he is a substantial Devil in the inward Image and then it is necessary for the outward Spirit to pour water into the Fire that it may hold the stern Spirit captive whereas whiles it will not be God's Image it is a Beast according to the Inward Image 11. And when we consider our selves in or as to the union the outward Spirit is very profitable to us for many a soul would perish when the Beast-spirit acteth which yet holdeth the Fire captive and setteth the earthly beastial Labour and Joy before the Fire-Spirit wherein it can delight it self till it can through the Wonders somewhat discover its noble or pretious Image in the Imagination again so that it seeketh it self again 12. You my beloved Children who are generated in God to you it is said that it is not done without cause that God hath breathed the outward Spirit into Adam viz. the outward Life into his Nostrils 13. It was dangerous for this Image God knew how it went with Lucifer and what the great eternal Magia can do Adam also might have become a Devil but the outward Looking-Glass hindered that for where water is it quencheth the Fire 14. And many a Soul in its malice and wickedness would in a little while become a Devil if the outward Life did not hinder it so that the Soul cannot quite and totally kindle and enflame it self 15. How evil wicked and venomous is many a one that he would murther and commit abominable evil and wickedness but that his Fire hath Water else it would be done and committed as is to be seen in the Gall which is a fire poyson or venome but is mixed with water so that the pomp and fury of the Fire is allayed 16. Thus it is also with the inward Substance the Spirit of this World hath insinuated it self in the Abyss into the Soul and hath in its Source or Quality mortal Water wherewith it often moisteneth the Soul when it would spit fire 17. Also the outward Spirit could not without the Fire have a Life and though it hath Fire in all Creatures yet the Fire is onely the fierce Wrath of the inward Fire 18. The Inward Fire consumeth Earth and Stone also Body and Blood as also the Noble and precious Image if it becometh kindled or inflamed in the Will and there the Water is a Medicine for it which layeth the pomp or fury of going forth aloft over the Meekness of God as Lucifer did The Seventeenth Question Whence and wherefore there is Contrariety of the Flesh and the Spirit 1. YOu know beloved Brother very well that Fire and Water is at Enmity for the Fire is Life and the Water is its Death which you see very well when Water is poured into the Fire then is the source or quality of the Fire out and the Fire is in Death 2. But in Man it is not so totally in Death in respect of the Light which continually causeth the Fire yet there is an Enmity as between God and Hell there is Enmity and yet Hell or Anger-Fire is Gods 3. And God's Majesty would not be if his Anger were not which sharpneth the Divine obscure hiddenness of the Eternity by the fierce wrath of Nature so that it becometh turned into Fire out of which the high Light in the free Liberty becometh generated which in the meek source or quality maketh Majesty 4. And yet the Fire is the only Cause that in the Light in the Meekness there is a Springing for the Light existeth from the Glance of the Fire and hath in it the source or quality of the Fire 5. But as afore-mentioned the Will sinketh in the
true Soul received that same meek Body for a Sulphur then the Soul burneth in the Love-Fire and is wholly gone away out of the first Fire-Life 12. It is now in God's Principle the first fierce wrathful fire cannot touch it in Eternity for it hath gotten another Source or Quality and is rightly and truly New born or Regenerated and knoweth no more of the first Life for it is swallowed up in the Magia 13. The Turba remaineth in the Earthly Body and becometh that again which it was before the Body was viz. a Nothing a Magia wherein all its doings matters or substances stand in Figure as in a Looking-Glass but not Corporeally but according to the Manner of the Eternity as we apprehend that all Wonders before this world stood in a Mystery as in the Virgion of Wisdom but without Substance 14. Thus now we apprehend also here that that very Mystery in its parting became so Manifested that it cannot in Eternity be extinguished but remaineth Eternally standing in the Distinction and in the Separation and is seen in the Magia in the Separation or Parting after that manner as it hath here formed it self 15. Thus it is apprehensible to us what the Separation or parting is viz. This the Turba hath found the Limit of the Substance for sickness to Death is nothing else but that the Turba hath kindled it self and will break or destroy the Substance It is at the Limit and will cast away the Introduced Medium or Middle 16. And this is also the Cause that the Body Dyeth the Turba passeth into it self into the Fire and so the Outward Life extinguisheth for the Lifes fire becometh withdrawn from it and then it goeth into its Aether and is at its Limit 17. And so now if the Souls Fire hath not in its Spirit God's Body nor in its will in its Desire then it is a Dark Fire which burneth in Anguish and in great horrour for it hath only the first four forms of Nature in the Anguish 18. And if the Will hath nothing of the Power or Vertue of Humility then there is no sinking down or into it self through Death into Life but it is like an anxious furious Wheel that would fain alwayes go upwards and yet it goeth downwards on the other side It is a kind of Fire and yet it hath no Fire burning or flaming 19. For the Turba is the very stern or strong Austereness or Astringency and Bitterness where the bitterness alwayes seeketh the Fire and would strike it up and the harsh Astringency holdeth it Captive so that it is only a horrible Anguish and goeth alwayes in it self as a Wheel and Imagineth yet it findeth nothing but it self it draweth it self in it self and impregnateth it self it devoureth it self and is its own Substance 20. It hath no other Substance but this viz. what the Souls Spirit hath made or acted in the outward Life as Covetousnesse or High-mindednesse Cursing Swearing Scorning Jeering Disgraceing or Back-biting Slandering Envy and Hatred Fierce Wrath Anger Falshood or Wickedness that is its Food and the pastime of its Exercise for the Turba taketh its Substance Matters or Doings along with it in the will its works follow after it 21. And though perhaps it hath done or acted somewhat that is good yet that is done but in a Glymps for a shew in appearance out of a vain Glorious or Hypocritical Mind and so it standeth afterwards in a continual Climing up it Elevateth it self continually it would alwayes be above the Meekness and yet apprehendeth or knoweth it not nor seeth it it is a Continual Elevation above God and yet is but an Eternal sinking down it seeketh the Ground or Foundation and there is None and this is its Life 22. And if it hath in its life-time laid hold of any thing that is pure of the Love as many that at Last convert in the End those sink down thus in themselves through the Anguish for the Humble sparkle goeth down through Death into Life where indeed the Souls Source or Quality and Pain taketh its End but it self is a little Branch or Twig Sprouting into God 23. Now what purifying-Purifying-Fire or Purgatory the Soul hath before it can enter into it self with the little Sparkle cannot sufficiently be written or expressed and how it is then detained and plagued by the Devil which the too wise and politick world will not believe it is so Cunning and yet so blind it understandeth it not and yet continually hangeth or dependeth upon the LETTER Oh that none might come into it we would willingly be silent 24. But we speak of no strange source quality or pain but only of that which is in the Turba also of no Power of the Devil over the poor Soul but only its terrour and horrible Apprehension of what is represented before it so that the Souls Imagination is sufficiently terrified therein 25. It is not by far in such a manner with the Soul as Babel teacheth saying the Devil beats and torments the Soul that is very blindly spoken the Devil is not at Odds with his Children they must all do his will the Hellish Anguish and horrour is torment enough to them every one in his own abominations Every one hath his own Hell there is nothing else that layeth hold of it but its own Venom or Poyson 26. The Four Forms of the Original of Nature is the Common or Universal source quality or Torment which every one feeleth according to his Turba one different from another as a Covetous one hath Frost an Angry one Fire an Envious one Bitterness a Proud stately one hath flying up and yet Eternal sinking down and falling into the Abysse A Blasphemer swalloweth up into himself the Turba of his belched forth Abominations A false or wicked Deceitful Heart hath the fourth Form viz. the great Anguish 27. For the Turba standeth in the Fire Circle or Globe viz. in the Heart of the Soul and false or evil speaking Lying and untruth or unfaithfulness are an horrour or abomination and Gnawing a Cursing or Anathema in it self and so on 28. A Potentate who hath oppressed the poor and Miserable and consumed his sweat or Labour in Pride he rideth in the Curse of the Miserable in the full height of the Fire for the necessities and distresses of the Miserable stick all in him 29. He hath no Rest his Pride climbeth up Continually he doth in his condition there as he did here he seeketh continually and yet wanteth all things that which he had too much of that he hath now too little of he devoureth himself continually for Substance to feed on and yet hath none for he is Magical 30. He hath lost his right true Image and hath as it were the Image of a Proud Prancing Horse or of that which he hath here been Conversant about that which he taketh with him in his will that is his Image where his Heart is there is his Treasure also and
have God and to know him and lose that again it were better to lose the World and the Outward-Life then to Lose God and the Kingdom of Heaven 7. It is not a thing to be dallied with to be disobedient to God see what befel Corah Dathan and Abiram about Moses the same will befal the Disobedient and Scorners 8. Indeed the Scorner feeth not his punishment presently but his Turba taketh it in now hath he laughed any to scorn in derision and would fain be freed or released from the Turba thereof then he must in Sorrow Lamentation grieve before God for it or else he will bring his scorn along with him into the anger-Anger-Fire and that will Eternally gnaw him this we would have said for a Warning 9. For here we write of an earnest or severe business it is not to be slighted be not led astray God will not suffer himself to be mocked or scorned the fierce wrathful Anger is in his Might and Power he hath Hell and Heaven in his Power 10. The last Judgment is an Earnest or severe work but being we are to set down the Resurrection of the Dead therefore we must write the Manner of it how it shall be performed in what power this world shall pass away and the Dead arise it will be earnest or severe let none slight it we will speake of the ground of it 11. And think not that it is a Conceit it becometh generated out of the Turba upon your Crown the Turba of your own Spirit telleth you that for the End hath found the Beginning thus the whole Substance Matters or Works of the World stand in the Middle in the Light and out of that goeth your Prophet viz. out of your wrought Wonders or practised works 12. For it is not the Spirit of the Turba that will govern but the Spirit of Christ it hath overcome Death and taken the Turba captive He lead-leadeth Captivity Captive as a Conquerour 13. But the Turba will execute the Judgement or Justice for it is God's Servant in the Anger not his Lord but Servant therefore the Thunder which will terrifie the Earth goeth out of the Mouth of God which will kindle or inslame the Firmament and the Elements 14. The last Judgement belongeth to the Judge Christ together with the Holy Spirit For here will the Eternal Spirits Center stir it self which also hath parted it self into Three Principles viz. One in the Anger-Spirit and One in the Divine Love-Spirit and One in the Air-Spirit of the outward World 15. The last moving belongeth to him he is in Christ's Mouth according to the Deity and according to the Anger in the Hellish anguish source quality or Torment and according to the Wonders in the Spirit of this World 16. He was the Work-master of All Things or Substances and he it is also that will give to Every work its Eternal Lodging and gathereth every thing into its Barn 17. For he hath many helpers for the Angels shall sever and seperate all things and then will the Mouth of God the Father with the Word of the Lord through the Mouth of Christ speak the Sentence and then Beginneth the burning World and the Entrance of Every thing into its Barn and Reservatory 18. For the Reservatories will be manifold not only two viz. in two Principles yet in two Principles but in many distinctions all according to the several power and vertue 19. For every work standeth in a Magick Principle as a several distinct Wonder both in the Heaven and in the Hell every one according to its Spirit and so will its Form or Condition be and appear according as it is good or evil and so will its Power and Vertue be like the Flowers or Blossoms of the Earth in their Varieties and so will Man also have Joy and Glorification all according to his here-wrought acted Substance or Works 20. But we understand Substance or Works of Faith the Power and Vertue in the Love-Substance or Works not of the outward works for all shall be presented or set forth in the Figure in the Wonders and that will be so with its Beginning and Circumstances 21. When the Last Judgment Day shall Dawn then all shall open it self once more viz. the Third Time the Deity in all forms in Love and Anger then will all stand equally manifested at once and visibly before all Creatures and that is done thus 22. The Beginning of the Creation in the Word Fiat hath included this World as a Model in it self and founded the limit wherein now the Wonders are become included which should be manifested or opened in the middle and in the time and come to Substance or Effect which were seen from Eternity in the Wisdom of God's Magia and so those Wonders are then all in the Substance or Work and then the Limit is at hand and no time of seeking more for it is finished whatsoever God hath in his Eternal Councel that he hath comprised and opened in a Time 23. And now is the End of Time and the beginning hath then found the End and the End is then the beginning passeth again into that which it was from Eternity 24. But the middle in the time with its opened wonders remaineth Eternally in the beginning and in the End as an Eternal Middle with its Wonders viz. with Angels and Men in their Substance or Works as also the Figures of all Creatures as also all Creatures and all whatsoever hath become Essential at any time the Earth with its Mettals Stones and all material Substances things or works as also Trees Herbs and Grass all of them stand in the Figure in the middle and in the Wonders but without such Essences and Life as they have here 25. For no Beast cometh again but its Figure in the Magia remaineth standing for it is originated out of the Eternal Looking-Glass therefore also it must now when the outward Earthly Looking-Glass breaketh stand in the Eternal as a Wonder to Gods Honour and Glory 26. And these very Substances belong all to Paradise for it will be the Holy Paradise wherein the Heavenly Elements will bear Substantial palpable Fruits 27. And as we here in this Life account the Fruits of the Earth out of its Essence as dead things without understanding so will also the Beastial and Earthly Images of this world appear as dead Substances things or works as also all other Creatures Substance or Work it shall stand as a shadow but the Paradise hath and beareth Fruit out of the Eternal Lifes Power and Vertue viz. out of God's Essences 28. This all which for the most part lyeth hidden to us is included in the word Fiat in the beginning and End and lyeth therein as a great VVonder 29. And now will the Spirit of the first Creation move all the Three Principles and before that is done the VVord of God compriseth it self with or by that Spirit like an Elevation or Manifestation of
the Figure before them that so there may be no denyal for the Spirit tryeth with the Turba Soul Spirit and Flesh here all is manifest 74. The Kings and Princes shall give an account of their Subjects how they have governed and protected them what Government they have exercised why they have taken away the lives of Many in Tyranny and shed innocent Blood why they have made War for their Covetousness and pleasure sake 75. In like manner other Superiours why they have intruded themselves and have set themselves up for Lords over the simple oppressed and squeezed them and taken away their sweat and labour from them and Consumed it in Pride 76. Now will the Root of every thing be enquired after whence it comes and out of what it is grown whether it bear God's Ordinance and whether it Originateth in the Heavenly Fiat or in the Hellish out of the Anger there shall every one give an account of his State and Condition whether he have intruded out of Coverousness and Pride and made himself a Lord and Master or whether his Government be ordained of God 77. There see O ye Worldly Rulers ye Potentates whether ye be God's Ordinance whether ye sit in a right and true Divine Ordinance what you do with the miserable and needy now they stand before your eyes and complain of you that you have been the Cause of their sins and of all their Evil 78. For there one will cry and complain against the other that he hath caused him to commit such and such abominations and will curse him the Inferiour the Superiour the Superiour his Superiour the Prince his false or wicked Counsellours the Counsellours the Priests who have not reproved their Courses but soothed and flattered them for advancement and honours sake 79. Oh how will you now subsist ye high Schools and Doctors all you that have sitten in Christ's Sear that you have so contended about Christ's Cup about his Honour Glory Doctrine in your Pride and have irritated or stirred up and constrained the Princes of your Countreys who are the Ordinance of God to Wars and Blood-shed for your Words sake which you your selves have forged 80. Where is now Christs Spirit in the Love which saith Love one another thereby men shall know that you are my Disciples where is now your Love see your Bloody provocations wherewith you have involved them in War and led the World astray from Love and Condescention 81. You have made Rents and Divisions so that Kings have divided and been at Enmity for your Pride sake in that you have drawn Christ's Word about by the Hair and not considered whether you have Christ's Spirit and Will or no there you above all others shall give a severe account for you have known the Lord's Will and have not done it you have run and intruded your selves into Christ's Office only for Gain Favour and Honour sake you have not regarded God's Spirit therefore the Spirit calleth you Babel a Confusion of all that live 82. You have set the whole World at Odds you should teach them Love and you have taught them strife and Contention so that one Brother hateth and persecuteth the other for your contrivance sake how is the Name of Christ despised for your Contentions sake whither will you go and where will you abide when the whole World shall Cry Wo wo on you 83. Here the Angels will be the Dividers these will seperate them into two Heads and set the Honest and Godly at the right and the evil and wicked at the Left viz. at the Anger-Eye For the right is here called the Lights Principle and the Left the fires Principle 84. And there will the Judgment be set all the Great Shepherds which God hath sent for Lights into the World who have reproved and taught viz. the Patriarchs concerning the Promise of Christ together with the Prophets and Apostles at the right hand of the Judgement and Moses and all teachers of the Law at the left hand of the Judgement 85. For Moses and Elias have the Fire-Sword together with all highly worthy Teachers of the Law and require God's Justice and Righteousnesse and those at the Right God's Mercy 86. And in this hour is the Last Day of the Judgement when the Judge will say Come ye Blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Beginning for I have been hungry thirsty naked sick and in Misery and you have served or Ministred unto me 87. And to the wicked Crew Away ye Cursed I know you not into the Eternal Fire For I have been hungry thirsty sick naked and in Prison and ye have not served or Ministred unto me 88. And then they will excuse themselves as to the Judges Person Lord we have not known thee and he will say what you have not done to my Children in Misery you have not dono unto me 89. And here will the Spirit of God first move himself to Justice in all the Three Principles and awaken the Center of Nature that it may burn in the Anger-Fire for All will stand in the Fire both Heaven Earth and the Firmament 90. And the Turba will swallow up the Earthly World into the Fire and set it in that condition again as it was before the Creation onely the Wonders remain standing in both Principles the Third passeth away all to the Wonders which will be set in the Beginning again 91. And there will the Earthly Life with the Earthly Body fall away and the fire will consume them 92. And in the Righteous will the Glorious bright Paradisical Body passe through the Fire with its Wonders or Works which will follow after it and that which is false or wicked will remain in the Fire 93. And they will be snatched through the Fire in the twinckling of an Eye although the Fire will not take hold of them as little as the Fire can detain the Light or the Wind so little also can it hold the Light of the Holy Men or Saints for they can dwell in the Fire without feeling any pain 94. And then instantly with the kindling of the Fire is God's Majesty prepared and the Paradisical Life into which they go as Children and live Eternally with their Father in one Love in a simple Loving Childs Life and there is a Communion of Saints or Holy Ones 95. No Dayes and Nights for the Sun passeth away and the Stars pass away and their Wonders only stand in the great Magia to the Honour and Glory of God thus they will sever themselves 96. The wicked must also go into the Fire and their Earthly Life also fall away and in their Spirit will be seen their Vizard-Image according to all manner of Abominable Beasts like the Devils 97. For they dwell in one and the same Principle and Luoifer is their Great-Prince whom they have here served and ministred unto and it was so that they did hang to their flattering Hypocrites
for the sake of the Joy of a Fools Paradise 98. Thus beloved Friend ye have a short explanation and information concerning the Last Judgment Day for all in this World will pass away 99. The Earth and all Rocks and the Elements will melt away and THAT only will remain which God would have for the sake of which he created this World 100. There hath before clearly both Good and Evil been seen in Eternity and hath in this World been only brought to Substance and that is a Wonder and it standeth afterwards so in Eternity The One and Thirtieth Question What manner of New Glorified Bodies the Souls will have 1. THis is also sufficiently declared already For according as any is indued with the Power of Love Righteousness and Purity he will accordingly have fair bright Works of Faith and so he will shine and give Light 2. But this will be very different the works of Many will almost all remain in the Fire and themselves will scarce escape and such a one is not so fair and bright as the Holy are 3. For as the Scripture saith They will excel one another as the Stars of Heaven but there will be no disrespect for it but one will rejoyce at the beautious brightness of another for there is no other Light but this viz. that God filleth all in all 4. And thus every one will receive God's Glance or Lustre and Majesty according as his vertue or power will be capable of the Light for after this Life there is no bettering but every one remains as he entered in 5. For here will the Judge Christ deliver up the Kingdom to his Father and then we shall need no Teachers and Conductors more but he is our King and Brother there is no intercession but we are with him as a Child with the Father and what we do then is good for there is no falshood or wickedness more The Two and Thirtieth Question What other Form State and Condition Joy and Glory there will be to Souls in that other Life 1. IN this Question Paradise is to be Considered by us For this outward World with its Fruits and Colours hath been a Figure Type or Resemblance of Paradise for Paradise was in us and the Outward Spirit robbed us of it and drew us into it self when Adam lusted after that then his lust laid hold of him 2. But now we shall be in Paradise again and Eternally Rejoyce therein and enjoy the fair bright springing of all manner of Flowers and variety of Forms as also of Trees and Herbs and all sorts of Fruits but not so Earthly Thick or Gross and Palpable 3. For our Bodies shall not be so how then shall the Substance of Paradise be so All is Angelical Those Fruits are all Clearer and Subtiler then the outward Elements now are we shall have no intrails into which we shall need to stuff our stomacks as here in this sack of Worms or Carcass but all is in power and vertue we eat in the Mouth not into the Belly we shall not have need of Teeth to Chew with all is vertue and power and yet in a right and true natural form and shape with clear bright Colours 5. Also the Kingdom of Heaven consisteth not in Eating and Drinking but in Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit with singing and sounding forth God's Deeds of Wonder concerning the Corporiety of Paradise 6. We lead there a Childs Life and like them when they rejoyce and are chearly upon a Mount for then there is no sorrow in our hearts nor fear of any thing but a sporting with the Angels 7. This World will be no more regarded for all earthly knowledge and skill and thoughts remain in the Turba of the Earthly Body in the Fire 8. We are concerned no more in knowing of our Parents or Children or Friends which are in Hell 9. But we shall all know one another by Name that are together though yet the Earthly Name will remain in the Turba but we shall have our first Name a Name according to the Language of Angels which here we do not understand fully in the Language of Nature we understand somewhat of it but we have here no tongue to express it withall 10. None saith to the other thou art my Husband or thou art my VVife thou art my Sonne Daughter Man-Servant or Maid-Servant all are alike as to that we are all Children not Husband nor VVife Children nor Man-Servants nor Maid-Servants but all free EVERY ONE is ALL and yet there is but one Sex viz. Heavenly Virgins full of Modesty chastity and purity 11. We all are God's Spouse and Wife he is our Husband he soweth his power and vertue into us and we generate or bring forth to him praise and honour 12. There are also Dancings round and Singings as Children use to do which take hands and sing and dance a Ring together 13. All Art will not be regarded but know that those who here have born the Mystery and have had it opened to them they have great Ingenuity or Wisdom and understanding above others and exceed others 14. Indeed not in Contention Doctrine but their Wisdom beginneth all manner of Exercise out of the Mystery so that the joy is stirred up for as Children run together when one beginneth to sport so also here 15. And little Children are our School-Masters before they Meddle with Evil that the Turba Magra the Great Turba layeth hold of them for they bring their sport with them out of their Mothers Womb which is partly from Paradise else all is lost till we attain that again 16. A King avails no more there then a Begger if he hath ruled well then his vertue followeth him and he will have Clory of it in the Majesty for he attaineth a bright Glorification as a Shepherd over his Sheep 17. But if he hath been Evil and yet at last become converted and enter in as it were by a Threed then his Kingly Royal Works remain in the Fire and here he will avil no more then a Beggar who hath been honest nor be so beautious neither 18. In the works of every one men will apprehend what every one hath been when they shall open their Packets and present them in the Heavenly Magia as the Children do in their Sport 19. Yet know that it will not be a Kingdom of Sport onely for Men will speak of God's Wonders and Wisdom and of the Great Mysteries of the Heavenly Magia The Song of the Driver will remain to the Scorn and reproach of the Devil and to the Praise and Glory of God 20. Yet men will keep somewhat of Hell but see it no otherwise then in the Magia in the Mystery for the Devils must dwell in the Darkness the fierce wrathful Fire in them is their Light they have Fire-Eyes with which they see else all Fire is gone for the Majesty hath diffused it all that it may burn in Love 21.
the Fire only the Turba with the Introduced Abominations plagueth it there is an Eternal Despair in them and therefore they are also God's Enemies 8. Whatsoever belongeth to Blasphemy and Cursing that is their best power and vertue they devour Hellish Brimstone and Abominations For their Fruits are such manner of things a kind of Matter that is outwardly fair and inwardly meer fierce wrath and as they have been such flattering Hypocrites upon Earth therefore also their Heaven giveth them such Bread to Eat 9. They are at Large shut up in Nothing they may go as Deep as they will yet it is every where the Abysse and the Darkness and yet they are but in their First Place the Deeper they desire to swing themselves the Deeper they Fall and yet are no where at an End or at the Ground or Bottom 10. Their Number is no Humane Number their delight is a stink of Fire and Brimstone because of their Cursed Blasphemy that they were Angels and now Devils when they consider themselves then first riseth up the gnawing Worm that Devoureth and Tormenteth them 11. What should a Man write of their Cursedness they are filthy Evil Beasts all that they have practised upon the Earth that followeth after them and that they would also do there they swallow down Abomination and Cursing without Measure a Man cannot apprehend their Dominion better then by the Antichristian Horse and by Cursing blaspheming Men which are Mad with Cursing though it be but a Looking-Glass in respect of the Hellish Abominations and we will not further mention them for they are not worthy to be named The Five and Thirtieth Question What the Enochian Life is and how long it lasteth 1. THis is also above Humane Reason and which no outward Reason can Comprehend but seeing it is born or generated therefore it shall stand open for there stick such Mysteries here that the World cannot comprehend and we shall not mention them at large for it hath its limit how far it shall go for in this Time shall Wonders be done upon Earth for which cause our speech is taken from us that we must be silent 2. Yet we shall shew what kind of Life it is or whither Enoch is gone as also Elias and Moses It is no Conjecture we speak what here is given us we shall further be silent and not believe Reason it is a Fool herein 3. And we may well mention this for the Time is Born that Enoch speaketh and Elias worketh Wonders which Babel shall try by Experience For Moses hath Horns and yet is a Patient or Meek Lamb. 4. O how wouldest thou rejoyce if thou wouldst go amongst Moses Flock for he hath a good Message or Embassie rejoyce ye Heaven and be merry ye Earth for Enoch is in the field and keepeth his Flock 5. What will Elias do He had a white Garment on and was with Christ on the Mount and spake to him concerning the finishing the Redemption of Mankind and spake to him also of the Entrance into Paradise and of the final Deliverance from the Driver or Persecutor 6. He that is born Blind seeth Nothing how can a Lame Man run to the limit for the Prize and a Deaf Man distinguishâ—â—â—… Words and Languages Doth not the Sun shin all the Day and yet the Mole remaineth blind still Will Babel then come to see We say she is a Scorner and therefore also she must be blind though the Sun shineth to her 7. How can any see what is in TWO Worlds that dwelleth alwayes but in ONE Or is it not Art and Wit that hath understanding that can search the Deep Gates But it flyeth aloft like a Wind that holdeth nothing and yet maketh such a Bluster so also Babel 8. When we will speak of the Enochian Life we must consider the Scripture and see who Enoch was and what Life he lead and then we may soon find where he is and what his going away and taking up is 9. The Scripture saith his Father was called Jared if you understand the Language of Nature you had the whole Ground 10. And Enoch begat Methusalah who attained the Highest Age of any Man and after he had begotten him he continued in a Godly or Divine Life till the Lord took him into his Principle 11. And we are not so to understand it as if he were wholly perfect in the Light of God's Majesty and should not appear at the Judgment Day He is indeed in God without necessity and Death also in God's Love but in the Birth of God's Principle for he had also Adam's Flesh 12. So you know very well that the outward Kingdom with the Earthly Flesh belongeth to the Turba though indeed he had in the outward Body the Body of God's Wonders as to which he was taken up into the Mystery so that the outward Body was as it were swallowed up of the Mystery 13. But now must the Mystery give up again all whatsoever it hath swallowed up as ye know that at the End it shall present the outward Body with all Substances or Works before the Judgment of God so also is the Turba still in the outward Body with the Wonders which shall be manifested and tryed in the Fire 14. Seeing then Enoch is taken up with Body and Soul with both Bodies therefore his outward Body is in the Mystery and the inward Body is a Heavenly Mystery in the Arcanum or hiddenness and so he liveth in two Mysteries invisibly and incomprehensibly to the outward World as we give you to understand that Paradise is still at hand and not vanished but is as it were swallowed up by the Curse of God and lyeth yet as a Mystery uncorrupted in the Curse 15. For we can with good ground of Truth say that Paradise is still upon Earth but we are not therein yet Enoch is therein but he hath still the Body of the Turba in the Mystery and in the Heavenly Mystery he hath God's Body a Paradisical Body that is capable of Paradise thus he is a Wonder and is a Prophet on the Crown at the limit of the Wonders 16. For ye know the Scripture saith that after he begat Methuselah the Man of the highest Age that afterwards he continued in a Divine Life and that is significant 17. Methuselah sheweth the end of the Wonders of this World and Enoch in his Divine Life after the Birth of Methuselah sheweth as to his Three hundred years the opening of the Wonders and the open Ministry viz. a preaching of Righteousness whereby every one hath his Turba shewen him and the End of the Wonders of this World is shewed viz. God's punishment and reward to the Good 18. And the Time after Enoch wherein Enoch lived till the Number of the Crown when Enoch with his Preaching was taken up sheweth that the Enochian Light which appeared in his Time will pass again into the Principle and will seek the Earthly Body of Enoch and it will be
found that the Turba is still therein so that there is no seeking more for the Turba is found at the Limit and worketh only to the Fire and to the Judgment 19. Thus the End of this World is as the Dreggs of the Cup and worketh in the Turba to the blowing up of the Fire and to the Judgment for the outward World is become generated out of the Turba and hath taken its beginning in the Turba and the Turba is its proper own thus the Beginning seeketh the End again in the fierce Wrath. 20. And as this World is become Corporeal in the fierce Wrath so also will the beginning at the End have the Spirit again in the fierce Wrath for the Beginning and the End is all one therefore you see very well that in the Beginning the Turba swallowed up Adam and brought him into Anger and Murthered Abel 21. Therefore ye Elect desire none of you to live to the time of the End after Enochs taking up but consider that when Enoch Preacheth the Sun shineth then go out of Babel it is a Golden Time but your Turba causeth that Enoch shall be taken up 22. Enoch is not flyen away out of this World he is passed into the Mystery in the VVonders for he is God's Preacher and after that the Turba hath overcome the VVorld then must he be silent till the six Seals have ended their VVonders and the Angels of the Turba poured forth their Viols and then are the VVonders of the Anger finished 23. Then cometh Enoch again out of the Mystery and goeth into the Mystery and telleth what hath been done and reproveth the World because of the Turba hecause they have let the abomination come into them and have not withstood it 24. And after the world becometh fat and wonton in the Golden Year and seeketh Sodom and Gommorrah again then will also their Turba be fat and Wanton and seek the fierce VVrath and the Limit and the Golden Time cometh to an End and will be swallowed up in the Turba and then Methuselah the oldest Man dyeth and suddenly cometh the Sin Deluge in the Fire think of it it is an Earnest severe thing 25. We say not that you shall feel Enoch with your hands No! Enoch preacheth not from the Earthly Lifes Spirit but from that which was a Prophet which introduced the outward Man into the Principle thus you shall not touch the outward Enoch but hear the Prophet which speaketh out of Enoch out of the Mystery 26. Babel holdeth it in derision and despiseth Enoch for a time then Enoch calleth Noah but they account him an Old Fool for Preaching of the downfal of Babel 27. And Noah passeth into the other World through the Water and calleth to Moses with his Wonders and he Cometh for he hath God's Wonders 28. For he is gone through Death and hath brought his Body through Death where then the Turba desired to consume it and the Devil contended about it and would have the Turba in Moses because he had been an Angry Man and brought the Turba on many 29. But it was said to the Devil that the Turba in the fire did not belong to him for it served to the Majesty of God and hath the VVonders to him belonged the Turba in the Darkness in the fierce wrath and is without the City it shall not dwell in the City in the Principle but without it 30. For God hath not Created him in and for the Fire he may continue in his own awakened fire-Life for he hath nothing to do with Moses Body for Moses's VVonders in the Anger belong not to his Turba he is an Outcast a Castaway 31. And Moses's Body is gone through Death his unfadable Body which hath the VVonders hath swallowed up the Earthly in the Turba and yet not in a fadable manner consumed it but he is also in the Mystery and his Turba which killed the first born in Egypt and drowned Pharaoh in the Water and slew the Worshippers of the Calves also swallowed up Corah Dathan and Abiram with the Earth that remained in Death 32. When he dyed then went his Spirit and Soul forth out of the Turba and he remained in the Wonders in the Mystery 33. And now he is become a Lamb and bringeth his works into Isaac's and Sems Goods as a Mystery of God in his Deeds of VVonder But the House is Isaac's and they all dwell in Sems Tents in his Kingdom Consider that ye Jews and Christians 34. Now seeing Moses is gone from the contention of the Turba and of the Devil with Righteousness into the Mystery and hath likewise his first Body yet unfadably on him brought out from the Turba but yet it shall be tryed in the Fire at the End of the Day therefore his Prophet is in the Mystery 35. And seeing he is become a Lamb after the Turba therefore he hath sent his people many Prophets to Preach of the Mystery as in the Mystery there is not only the Law and Works but also the Lamb Christ into which he also Entred and made his Law to be of the houshould of the Lamb so that his Wonders dwell in the lodging of the Lamb. 36. This Moses calleth to Enoch seeing he also is in the Mystery hath the white Garment on which he gat from the Lamb in the other VVorld to whose help Moses cometh with the Lamb's Deeds of Wonder seeing they call Noah Fool who without Wonders teacheth as an honest or vertuous Man 37. This will not Babel endure for so her pomp and loftiness will be taken away she sets her self against Moses and Enoch and persecuteth them she would kill them but Moses is dead already and Enoch is taken up and none in the outward Life is with them They say well where is Enoch and Moses let us see their Wonders and they are blind and cannot see them thus they rage against Moses and Enoch and go forth to Battel 38. Then Moses calleth to Elias which went out of this World in the Fire of God in the Abysse of the Principle with Body and Soul he dwelleth in the Principle with strong Might and when he cometh and seeth the Cry that Babel standeth in the Fire then he kindleth the Turba wherein the Great Fire Burneth which consumeth Flesh and Blood also Stones and the Elements and then shall Babel drink her last Draught 39. And after that Enoch hath peace a little Time and it is the Golden Year till my Beloved become fat and wanton and stuffeth his Turba well so that it seeketh the Limit and then cometh the End of all Time 40. Let it not be a Wonder to you we will stay in the mean while with Noah till Moses and Elias come and then you will find it by Experience all you that are the Children of God 41. But to the wicked it remaineth hidden till the Turba devoureth them they look upon it as the Jews did upon Christ and the first World upon
similitude of God for in God is Love-Light Meekness and in this Image is Darkness Harshness and Bitterness and its Essential Quality is Fire out of the fierce wrathful Essences and so this Image as long as it standeth in such a Quality and Form in the Darkness belongeth not unto God's Kingdom 16. Further in the Fire ye have a similitude of the Soul the Soul is an Essential Fire and the Flash of the Fire maketh in it the Life the Soul resembleth a fire-Globe or a fire-Eye 17. Now the burning fire in the source or quality signifieth the first Principle and the Life whereas yet the fire is not the Life but the quality or Pain-Spirit which existeth in the Anguish of the fire which goeth forth out of the fire like Air that is the Right Fountain Quality or Source-Spirit of the fire-Life which continually bloweth up the fire again so that it burneth 18. Now the fire giveth forth a shining and Light forth out of the quality or source which dwelleth in the quality or source and shineth forth from it and yet the quality or source comprehendeth not the Light that comprehendeth not the second Principle wherein the Deity dwelleth 19. For Men apprehend that the Power and Vertue is in the Light and not in the fire the fire giveth only to the Light Essences and the Life or the Light giveth Meekness and the Substantiality viz. Water 20. Now we understand that in the Light is an amiable Life without source or pain and yet there is a source or pain in it but not perceptible it is no other then a longing Delight or Love-Desire 21. Where we apprehend that source or quality to be a Tincture in which the growing and Blossoming of flowers springeth up and yet the fire is the cause of it and the Meekness is the Cause of the Substantiality for the Love-desire in the Light draweth and retaineth it so that it is a Substance but the fires desire consumeth the Substantiality 22. And we are to conceive of the Soul thus as to what concerns the Soul solely and purely in the Center it is an Essential fire in the Eye of Eternity and yet that Eye is desirous viz. a Figure and Image according to the Wisdom of God 23. And in its desiring in its Imagination standeth the Image for the Word Fiat hath laid hold of it that it might be a similitude according to the Eternal Wisdom of God in which he dwelleth in which he may manifest himself with his Spirit and whatsoever hath been in his Eternal Wheel Orb Sphere or Globe 24. Thus the Majesty of God flameth in the Image in the Essential Fire if the Essential Fire introduceth its desire into the Majesty but if not then is the Image Row and Naked without God and the Tincture becometh false or evil 25. For the Image standeth in the Tincture and Originateth in the Tincture in the Light not in the fire source quality or pain as God's Heart or Word taketh its Original in the Light of the Majesty in the Eternal Fires-Tincture of the Father and so also doth the Image of the Soul 26. The Image dwelleth in the Fire of the Soul as the Light dwelleth in the Fire but it hath another Principle as also the Light is another source or quality then the Fire 27. Thus the right and true Image of God dwelleth in the Light of the fire of the Soul which Light the fiery Soul must frame in the Love Fountain in the Majesty through its Imagination and glving up 28. And if the Soul doth it not but Imagineth in it self in its fierce wrathful Form to the fire source quality or pain and not in the Love Fountain in the Light of God then ariseth its own source or quality of its harshness sowerness and bitterness and the Image of God becometh a Turba which swalloweth up the Image of God in the fierce wrath 29. And then the sower Fiat in the fiery Essence of the Soul figureth or frameth an Image for the Soul according to its Imagination in the Will so that whatsoever the Essential Fire of the Soul desireth that becometh Imagined in the Soul viz. Earthly Figures whereinto the Will of the Heart casteth it self and such an Image the Fiat of the Soul maketh understand according to the ability or power of the Third Principle according to the Spirit of the Stars and Elements 30. Seeing the will of the Soul casteth it self into the Kingdom of this World therefore now the outward Kingdom hath power and ability to introduce its Imagination into the Inward Principle and if the Inward Fiat discovereth that in the fire of the Soul then it becometh impregnated therewith and retaineth the same 31. And now the Soul hath a Beastial Image according to the third Principle and it cannot be broken in Eternity unless the Soul with its will goeth out again from the Earthly Lust longing or delight and press into the Love of God again and then it getteth God's Image again which can only be done in this Life while the Soul standeth is in its own Aother or soyl in the growing of its Blossom or flower Essentially and after this Life it cannot be 32. Thus we give you to understand what the Soul Spirit Image and Turba is the Soul dwelleth in it self and is an Essential Fire and its Image standeth in it self in its Imagination in its Light so far as it cleaveth to God if not then it standeth in Anxiety in the fierce wrath of the Darkness and is a Visards Image and an Image of the Devil 33. It s Turba which breaketh the Divine Image is the Essential fierce wrathfulness and it is done through the Imagination or false or wicked Love and Imagining therefore it lyeth wholly in the Imagination whatsoever a Man letteth into his desire in that standeth the Image 34. And it is highly necessary for Men continually to strive against the Earthly Reason in flesh and Blood and give up his Spirit and Will to the Mercy and Love of God and continually cast himself into God's Will and NOT account Earthly Goods or Pleasure its Treasure and so set its desire therein which destroyeth its Noble or Pretious Image for that is a Turba of the Image of God and bringeth Beastial properties into the Image 35. In sum Christ saith where your Treasure is there is your heart also and according to that will God Judge the Secrets of Mankind and seperate the clean from the unclean and give that which is false or wicked to the Turba of the fire to be devoured and that which is Holy which is Entered into God he will introduce into his Kingdom AMEN FINIS * * Inward Sabbath of Rest and satisfaction in his Soul * * Outward Reason or Reason judging on things discerned no further than by the outward senses ††Dan. 2. 26. to the 30. * * Gen. 41. 16. ††According to the Reason of the outward-man
