come_v and_o i_o will_v speak_v with_o he_o of_o the_o mystery_n else_o let_v he_o leave_v my_o apprehension_n unreproved_a 36._o if_o he_o be_v a_o christian_a let_v he_o live_v in_o love_n towards_o a_o christian_a and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o gift_n which_o god_n give_v we_o one_o among_o another_o why_o do_v he_o brag_v and_o reproach_n so_o much_o that_o show_v he_o to_o be_v a_o proud_a man_n let_v he_o deal_v meek_o and_o i_o will_v meet_v he_o meek_o if_o he_o understand_v any_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o gift_n let_v he_o praise_n god_n and_o not_o contemn_v that_o which_o god_n give_v to_o another_o if_o he_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o read_v it_o let_v he_o leave_v it_o for_o those_o who_o god_n have_v call_v thereunto_o to_o who_o he_o will_v reveal_v or_o manifest_v it_o 37._o be_v not_o that_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o he_o will_v reprove_v the_o three_o principle_n and_o understand_v not_o out_o of_o what_o centre_n and_o understanding_n the_o spirit_n speak_v he_o will_v begin_v the_o first_o principle_n with_o the_o fire_n where_o then_o remain_v the_o centre_n out_o of_o which_o the_o fire_n originate_v 38._o let_v he_o tell_v i_o how_o the_o eternal_a nothing_o introduce_v itself_o from_o eternity_n in_o eternity_n into_o a_o eternal_a centre_n and_o how_o the_o eternal_a nature_n from_o eternity_n continual_o generate_v itself_o whereby_o the_o eternal_a will_n which_o be_v call_v god_n manifest_v or_o reveal_v itself_o from_o eternity_n 39_o with_o this_o his_o half-mute_a description_n he_o will_v not_o bring_v i_o into_o it_o but_o in_o my_o book_n of_o the_o six_o point_n he_o will_v well_o find_v it_o let_v he_o read_v that_o it_o be_v like_a he_o will_v become_v see_v if_o he_o but_o seek_v and_o begin_v aright_o 40._o when_o i_o write_v of_o three_o principle_n than_o i_o understand_v three_o world_n as_o first_o the_o centre_n to_o nature_n the_o dark_a world_n in_o which_o the_o fire_n or_o the_o sharpness_n of_o the_o stern_a may_v originate_v from_o eternity_n the_o form_n to_o the_o fire-life_n in_o which_o property_n god_n fierce_a wrath_n and_o anger_n also_o the_o hellish_a fire_n be_v understand_v from_o whence_o the_o nature-life_n originate_v which_o be_v not_o call_v god_n and_o though_o indeed_o it_o be_v god_n yet_o it_o attain_v not_o the_o name_n and_o divine_a source_n or_o quality_n in_o its_o own_o essence_n as_o saint_n john_n witness_v chap._n 1._o verse_n 5._o where_o he_o say_v the_o light_n shine_v in_o the_o darkness_n and_o the_o darkness_n have_v not_o comprehend_v it_o and_o this_o show_v itself_o also_o in_o the_o outward_a world_n how_o the_o light_n shine_v or_o give_v light_n in_o the_o darkness_n 41._o now_o if_o the_o fire_n be_v the_o first_o principle_n as_o he_o say_v then_o let_v he_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o darkness_n come_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n or_o whether_o the_o fire_n make_v darkness_n also_o what_o that_o be_v which_o make_v darkness_n and_o how_o all_o this_o thus_o generate_v itself_o from_o eternity_n in_o eternity_n 42._o i_o suppose_v here_o my_o pamphlet_n maker_n will_v remain_v mute_a he_o will_v indeed_o be_v silent_a concern_v it_o unless_o he_o go_v with_o i_o into_o the_o school_n but_o he_o shall_v first_o put_v off_o the_o click_n of_o pride_n else_o this_o schoolmaster_n will_v not_o receive_v he_o he_o will_v have_v child_n at_o school_n which_o look_v and_o trust_v upon_o he_o not_o lord_n 43._o when_o i_o write_v of_o three_o principle_n than_o i_o write_v of_o three_o world_n of_o three_o eternal_a beginning_n how_o they_o generate_v themselves_o 44._o i_o understand_v with_o or_o by_o the_o principle_n not_o the_o chaos_n the_o eye_n of_o the_o aether_n which_o dwell_v without_o ground_n or_o place_n in_o

glance_n and_o glory_n viz_o with_o desire_n and_o lust_n or_o long_a delight_n where_o in_o the_o desire_n the_o first_o shut_v in_o be_v effect_v which_o be_v a_o darkness_n where_o the_o desire_n be_v the_o first_o centre_n to_o nature_n which_o introduce_v itself_o into_o the_o source_n or_o quality_n into_o the_o perceptibility_n and_o perception_n even_o into_o the_o fire_n viz_o into_o the_o four_o form_n as_o be_v sufficient_o describe_v in_o our_o book_n viz_o of_o the_o three_o principle_n also_o of_o the_o threefold_a life_n also_o in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o the_o become_v

which_o the_o blind_a man_n oppose_v it_o be_v not_o here_o express_v at_o large_a 45._o now_o if_o god_n fire_n which_o generate_v the_o glance_n or_o lustre_n of_o the_o majesty_n be_v the_o first_o principle_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o darkness_n the_o source_n quality_n or_o torment_n and_o pain_n and_o moreover_o the_o stern_a life_n be_v generate_v and_o also_o the_o fire_n itself_o originate_v out_o of_o the_o darkness_n viz_o out_o of_o the_o sharpness_n with_o the_o aspect_n or_o appearance_n of_o the_o liberty_n in_o the_o lust_n or_o long_v out_o of_o the_o chaos_n then_o tell_v i_o now_o my_o opponent_n whether_o the_o dark_a world_n be_v a_o principle_n or_o whether_o he_o or_o i_o be_v blind_a in_o the_o mystery_n 46._o i_o know_v also_o very_o well_o that_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o source_n or_o quality_n of_o every_o life_n but_o i_o say_v that_o the_o root_n of_o the_o fire_n be_v dark_a and_o that_o the_o dark_a world_n be_v not_o call_v god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o enimicitious_a quality_n in_o itself_o a_o cause_n of_o nature_n 47._o indeed_o it_o be_v god_n and_o god_n who_o manifest_v himself_o through_o the_o dark_a world_n with_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o majesty_n be_v its_o lord_n for_o it_o become_v generate_v in_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o chaos_n out_o of_o the_o abyss_n in_o the_o nothing_o and_o in_o the_o desire_n introduce_v into_o darkness_n but_o the_o lust_n or_o long_a delight_n of_o the_o chaos_n to_o the_o revelation_n take_v only_o thus_o its_o sharpness_n and_o fire_n may_v to_o itself_o and_o yet_o bring_v

make_v another_o or_o second_o principle_n of_o another_o source_n or_o quality_n viz_o joy_v meekness_n and_o love-desire_n 48._o thus_o the_o dark-source_n or_o quality-spirit_n remain_v to_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o anguish_n and_o pain_n and_o be_v call_v god_n anger_n and_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o the_o kindle_a fire_n in_o the_o four_o form_n at_o the_o centre_n be_v call_v a_o consume_a

that_o he_o may_v become_v a_o paul_n see_v he_o be_v so_o zealous_a then_o may_v his_o zeal_n be_v profitable_a towards_o the_o further_a the_o salvation_n of_o man._n 8._o but_o so_o long_o as_o
