it though it were within them otherwise they could not doefo had ●o part in him and this be said when himselfe was conversant with his Disciples before his Suffering and Death Therfore there cannot be a Christ within in Christ without but one and the same Christ within and without now and then and alwaies from Eternity to Eternity There is another great difference concerning Perfection and the attaining to it in this Life one sort condemning the otherf or speaking that which they understand to be spoken in the Scripture but they doe not endeavour to reconcile the meaning of those Texts which seeme so extreamely to differ For perfection Be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect Job was a perfect and upright Man If any Man sin not in word he is a perfect Man And there is mention made of the perfect Law of Liberty also he that is borne of God sinneth not neither can he because the seed of God remaineth in him As many as be perfect let them be thus minded viz to presse for the Prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus On the other side There is none righteous no not one there is not a Man that sinneth not in many things WEE sin all And the Apostle John who no doubt was then borne of God saith If WEE say we have no sinne we deceive our selves and there is no truth in us if wee say not if he or they say or whosoever saith And while he was in the instant of high Revelations he fell down before the Angel to worship him thinking it had been God but the Angel said to him See thou doe it not for I am thy fellow servant And these great differences cannot be reconciled by the distinction of a time or condition of Men unconverted before they have attained Perfection before they are righteous or before they are sanctified but they may be decided by the understanding what it is that sinneth in Man and what it is in Man that is perfect and cannot sinne For as the Soul in this Life entereth into the one or the other through obedience to it that Soul is either righteous and perfect or wicked and imperfect as the Scriptures testifie And ever one that shall be presented perfect is to be presented perfect in Christ Jesus so that our perfection consisteth in him not in Selfe and so the Gifts of God are perfect or else we could not be saved by Faith for that is not of our selves but is the gift of God and therefore it may well be said by the Apostle Paul after his high Revelation I know that in me that is in my Flesh dwelleth no good thing dwelleth not did or hath dwelt before his conversion or at the beginning of the writing that Epistle but at that instant dwelleth in him no good thing in his Flesh also saies he I doe find a Law in my Members rebelling against the Law of my mind and leading me into captivity to the Law of sinne So that the good which he would doe that he did not but the evil which he would not doe that he did To will was present with him but how to performe it that he did not know and then saies So in my mind I serve the Law of God which is perfect but in my Flesh I serve the Law of sin Also the Apostle John saith Let no man deceive you he that doth righteousnesse is righteous and the Apostle Paul again saith as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the Sons of God and his servants ye are to whom ye obey whether of obedience unto righteousnesse or of sin unto Death Also it is said The Soul that sinneth it shall die If a righteous Man which is indeed a perfect Man so long as he is a servant to righteousnesse departeth from his righteousnesse and doth that which is wicked in the wickednesse which he doth he shall die and yet that which is perfect cannot die And on the other side If a wicked Man turne from his wickednesse and doth the thing which is good and righteous in the righteousnesse which he doth he shall live saith the Lord Thus a righteous Man can sin and a wicked Man can doe that which is righteous yet it is the Soul in the wicked Man that turneth and doth righteousnesse in the minde and the will and the Spirit and the heart and the Life through Christ in the Soul And it is the Soul in the Righteous Man that doth that which is wicked in the minde and will and spirit and heart and life through the Power of Sin corruption and imperfection also of the Flesh or the body of Death which is this mortal flesh and bloud therefore we should not let sinne Reigne in our Mortal Bodies that we should obey it in the Lusts thereof But we should strive after perfection that Christ may be formed in us we should give God our Hearts and he will clense them for us make us after his own heart and will make our Hearts desires and minds pure and then they are perfect for nothing that is Impure and so imperfect can enter into the Kingdom of God Thus in our Minds if we do the will of our Father which is in Heaven we shall know of the words of Christ whether they be of God or no which they that heard them from his owne mouth and did not so could not know But we are not to condemne those that have not attained to our mesure of Light Grace Knowledge or Perfection but to let our Light so shine before Men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father which is in Heaven and then they will say God is in us of a Truth they will be able to understand it If we be strong we should help those that are weak in Light or understanding and should declare the Gospel to those that sit most in Darknesse and in the shadow of Death and guide one anothers feete into the way of Peace and then we shall be like him who is in our hearts meeke and lowly and so wee shall find rest unto our Souls and then when He who is now our Life shall appeare we shall also appeare with him in Glory And when we have received the unction of the Holy one in our Souls we are then come to the spirits of Just men made perfect and to the Church of the first-Borne which are written in Heaven and yet some that were so did not know by what Death they should glorifie God and in Death the Body is sown in Corruption it is raised in Incorruption sown in Dishonour raised in Glory sown in weaknesse raised in power sown in imperfection raised in perfection for this Mortall must put on immortality Thus though we are risen with

the light that fierce fire is like the manner of the conjunction of these two Now Observe 26. Now when the fire-spirit and the astringent spirit struggle and wrestle thus together then the astringent maketh a vehement hard Cold astriction and the fiery maketh a terrible fierce Heat 27. And now the rising up of the heat and of the astriction maketh a trembling fierce terrible spirit which raveth and rageth as if it would tear the Deity asunder But thou must understand this exactly and properly 28. This is thus in the Original of the Quality in it self but in the midst in the rising up of this fierce spirit this spirit is caught and mitigated in the sweet water where its fierce source or fountain is changed into a trembling bitter and greenish Colour like a greenish duskinesse and retaineth in it self the condition and property of all three Qualities viz. of the fiery astringent and sweet and so from these three existeth the fourth Quality viz. the Bitter 29. For from the fiery quality the spirit becommeth trembling and Hot and from the astringent it becometh severe astringent hard and corporeal so that it is a spirit which alwayes subsisteth and from the sweet it becometh meek or mild and the fiercenesse changeth it into a gentle bitternesse which standeth now in the Fountain or Well-spring of the seven Spirits of God and helpeth continually to generate the other six spirits Understand this rightly 30. It doth as well generate its Father and Mother as its Father and Mother doth generate it for after that it is corporeally generated it then with the astringent Quality alwayes generateth the fire again and the fire generateth Light and the light is the Flash which alwaies generateth the Life again in all the qualifying or fountain spirits whence the spirits have life and alwaies generate one another again 31. But here thou must know that one spirit alone cannot generate another neither can two of them do it but the birth of a spirit standeth in the operation of all the seven spirits six of them alwayes generate the seventh and so if one of them were not then the other would not be neither 32. But that I sometimes take onely two or three to the Nativity or birth of a spirit I do that because of my own weaknesse for I cannot bea● them all seven at once in their perfection in my corrupted Brain 33. I see them all seven very well but when I speculate into them then the spirit riseth up in the middlemost fountain or well-spring where the Spirit of life generateth it self which goeth now upwards now downwards it cannot apprehend all the seven spirits in one thought or at once but only in Part. 34. Every Spirit hath its own quality or source though indeed it is generated of the other and so it is with the apprehension of Man he hath indeed the fountain of all seven spirits in him but in what quality or fountain soever the spirit riseth up the qualifying or fountain spirit thereof wherein that same spirit is most strongly Imaged that is it which he comprehendeth most sharply in that rising up 35. For even in the Divine power one spirit doth not go through all the spirits equally at once in its rising up for when it riseth up then indeed it toucheth or stirreth them all at once but it is caught in its rising up so that it must lay down its statelinesse and Pomp and not triumph over all the seven 36. It is the Being or Substance of the Senses and Thoughts otherwise if a Thought through the Center of Nature could penetrate all the forms then it were Free from the Band of Nature 37. Thus it is also in Man when one qualifying or fountain spirit riseth up then it toucheth all the other and seeth all the other for it riseth up in the middle or central Fountain or Well-spring of the Heart where in the Heat the flash of Light kindleth it self wherein the spirit in its rising up in the same flash seeth through all the spirits 38. But in our corrupted flesh it is only like a Tempest of lightning for if I could in my flesh comprehend the flash which I very well see and know how it is I could clarifie or transfigure my Body therewith so that it would shine with a Bright Light and Glory For from the Flash cometh the Light of the Majestie And then it would no more resemble and be conform to the Bestial Body but to the Angels of God 39. But hearken friend tarry yet a little while and then give the bestial Body for food to the Worms but when the Total God shall kindle the Seven Spirits of God in the corrupted Earth then if that same Salitter which thou sowest in the earth will not be capable of the fire then thy qualifying or fountain-spirits which thou didst sowe in thy life-time and is sowen in thy departure from hence will rise again in the same Salitter which thou hast sown and will triumph therein and become a Body again 40. But he that will be capable of the kindled fire of the seven Spirits of God he shall abide therein and his qualifying or fountain spirits shall rise in hellish pain which I shall demonstrate clearly in its due place 41. I cannot describe unto thee the whole Deity by the Circumference or extent of a Circle for it is unmeasurable but to that Spirit which is in Gods Love it is not incomprehensible it comprehends it well yet but in Part therefore take one part after another and then you will see the whole 42. In this corruption we cannot get higher then with such a Revelation neither doth this world inclose it self any higher both as to the Beginning and the End 43. I would very fain see somewhat higher in this my anxious generating or Birth whereby my sick Adam might be refreshed 44. But I look round about me in all the world and can find out nothing all is sick lame and wounded moreover Blind Deaf and Dumb. 45. I have read the Writings of very high Masters hoping to find therein the ground and true depth but I have found nothing but a half dead Spirit which in anxiety travelleth and laboureth for health and yet because of its great weaknesse cannot attain perfect power 46. Thus I stand yet as an anxious woman in travell and seek perfect refreshing but find onely the scent or smell or savour in its rising up wherein the Spirit examineth what power sticketh in the true cordial and in the mean while refresheth it self in its sicknesse with that perfect smell or savour till the true Samaritan doth come who will dresse and bind up its wounds and heal it and bring it to the eternal Inne or Lodging then it shall enjoy the perfect Taste 47. This Herb which I mean here from whose Fragancy my spirit taketh its refreshing Every Countrey Plowman doth not know it nor Every Doctor the one is as

Body in the outmost Birth or Geniture Now thou wilt Ask. How shall I understand this Answer 6. I cannot at all write it in thy Heart for it is not for every Mans capacity understanding and apprehension especially where the Spirit standeth in the House of wrath and doth not qualifie operate or unite with the Light of God But I will shew it to thee in an Earthly similitude that thou mightst if possible get a little into the deep Sence 7. Behold and consider a Tree on the outside it hath a hard grosse Rind or Bark which is Dead benumm'd and without Vegetation yet it is not quite Dead but in a faintnesse or imbecillity and there is a great difference between it and the Body which groweth next under the Rind or Bark But the Body hath its Living Power and breaketh forth through the Withered Rind and generateth many faire young Bodys or Twigs all which stand in the old Body 8. But the Rind is as it were dead and cannot comprehend the Life of the Tree but only hangs to it and is a Cover to the Tree in which worms doe Harbour which in the End destroy the Tree 9. And thus also is the whole House of this world the outward Darknesse is the House of Gods Wrath wherein the Devils dwell and it is rightly the House of Death for the Holy Light of God hath dyed therein Understand it stepp'd into its principle and is the outward substantiality in God as it were dead in our Esteem whereas it liveth in God but in another Source or Quality 10. But the Body of this great House which lyeth hid under the Shell or Rind of darknesse incomprehensibly to darknesse that is the house of Life wherein Love and Wrath wrestle one with another 11. Now the Love alwaies breaketh through the House of Death and generateth holy heavenly Twigs in the great Tree which Twiggs stand in the Light For they spring up through the shell or skin of Darknesse as the Twiggs do through the shell or Bark of the Tree and are One Life with God 12. And the wrath springeth up also in the House of darknesse and holdeth many a Noble Twigg captive in Death through its infection in the house of fiercenesse 13. And this now is the Summe or the Contents of the Astral Birth or Geniture of which I here intend to write And now it may be Asked What are the Stars or out of what are they come to be 14. They are the power of the seven Spirits of God for when the wrath of God was kindled by the Devil in this world then the whole House of this world in Nature or the outermost Birth or Geniture was as it were benumm'd or chilled in Death from whence the Earth and Stones are come to be But when this hard drosse or Scum was driven together into a Lump or Heap then the Deep was clear'd but was very dark for the light therein was dead in the wrath 15. But now the Body of God as to this world could not remain in Death but God moved himself with his seven qualifying or fountain spirits to the Birth or Geniture But thou must understand this high thing rightly 16. The Light of God which is the Sonne of God as also the Holy Ghost died not but the Light which is gone forth from or out of the heart of God from eternity and hath enlightned Nature which is generated out of the seven spirits that is departed or gone away from the hard corrupted Nature from whence it is that the Nature of this world with its comprehensibility or palpability hath remained in Death and cannot apprehend the Light of God but is a dark House of Devils 17. Upon this On the fourth Day of the Creation God regenerated anew the whole House of this world with the qualities thereof and hath placed or set the qualifying or fountain spirits in the House of Darknesse that he might generate to himself again out of that a new Body to his praise honour and Glory 18. For his purpose was to create another Angelical Hoast or Army out of this House which was thus to be done He would create an Angel which was Adam who should generate out of himself Creatures like himself which should possesse the House of the New Birth and in the middle of Time their King should be generated or born out of a Humane Body and possesse the new-born Kingdom as a King of these Creatures instead of the corrupted and expell'd Lucifer 19. And at the fulnesse or accomplishment of this Time God would adorn and Trim this House with its qualities as a Royal Government and let those very qualifying or fountain spirits possesse the whole House that they might in that House of darknesse and of Death bring forth Creatures and Images again as they had done from eternity till the accomplishment or fulfilling of the whole Hoast or Army of the new created Angels which were Men And Then God would bolt and barr up the Devil in the House of darknesse in an eternal Hole and then kindle the whole House in its own Light again all but the very Hole Hell or Dungeon of the Devils Now it may be Asked Why did not God bolt him up instantly and then he had not done so much mischief Answer 20. Behold this was Gods purpose and that must stand which is he would re-edifie out of the corrupted Nature of the Earth or build again to himself an Angelical Hoast or Army Understand viz. a true Body which should Subsist eternally in God 21. It was not Gods intention at all to let the Devil have the whole Earth for an eternal dwelling house but onely the Death and fiercenesse of the Earth which the Devil had brought into it 22. For what sin hath the Salitter committed against God that it should stand totally in Eternal shame None It was onely a Body which must hold still when the Devil elevated or swelled himself therein 23. Now if He should have instantly left it to the Devil for an Eternal dwelling House then out of that place a New Body could not have been built Now what Sin had that space place or Room committed against God that it should stand in eternal Shame None and therefore that were unequall to be so 24. Now the purpose of God was to make a curious excellent Angelical Hoast or Army out of the Earth and all manner of Ideas forms or Images For in and upon that all should Spring and generate themselves anew as we see in mineral Oares Stones Trees Herbs and Grasse and all manner of Beasts after a heavenly Image or Form 25. And though those Imagings were transitory being they were not pure before God yet God would at the End of this time extract and draw forth the Heart and the kernel out of the new Birth or Geniture and separate it from Death and Wrath and the new Birth should Eternally spring up in God without distinct from this place

relish for food nor do they rot and grow stinking as those in this world do but all consist in holy Divine power 49. Their Constitution or composition is from Divine power from the Salitter and Mercurius of the divine pomp and are the food of the holy Angels 50. If mans abominable Fall had not spoiled it he would have been feasted in such a manner in this world and have eaten such fruit as indeed they were presented to him in Paradise in a twofold manner 51. But the infectious Lust longing and Malady of the Devil who had infected and spoiled the Salitter of which Adam was made that brought Man into an Evil Longing or Lust to eat of both the Qualities the Evil and the Good whereof I shall write clearly here following and demonstrate it Of the Creation of Angels 52. The Spirit sheweth plainly and clearly that before the Creation of the Angels the Divine Being with its rising and qualifying was from eternity and remained so in the Creation of Angels as it is also at this day and will so continue in and to Eternity 53. And the Space Room or place of this world together with the creaturely heaven which we behold with our eyes as also the Space or Place of the Earth and Stars together with the Deep was in such a form as now at this day it is in aloft above the Heavens in the Divine Pomp. 54. But was the Kingdom of the Great Prince Lucifer in the Creation of the Angels Understand according to the second Principle out of which he was thrust forth into the outermost which also is the very innermost of all 55. Who by his proud elevation in his Kingdom ●indled the qualities or the divine S●litter out of which he was made Understand the Center of his Nature or the first Principle and set it on fire 56. Supposing thereby he should grow hugely and highly light and qualifying above the Sonne of God but he became a Fool therefore this place or space in its burning quality could not subsist in God whereupon the Creation of this world ensued 57. But this world at the End in Gods appointed Time will be set again to its first place as it was before the Creation of Angels and Lord Lucifer will have a hole or dungeon for his eternal habitation therein and he will remain eternally in his kindled quality which will be an eternal base filthy reproachful Habitation an empty void dark valley or dungeon a hole of fiercenesse or wrath Now Observe 58. God in his moving created the holy Angels at once not out of a strange matter but out of himself out of his own power and eternal wisdom 59. But the Philosophers had this opinion as if God had made the Angels only out of the light but they erred therein for they were made not only out of the light but out of all the Powers of God 60. And as I have shewed before there are two things especially to be observed in the Deep of God the Father first the power or all Powers of God the Father of the Son and of the Holy Ghost are very lovely pleasant and various and yet are all One in another as one power 61. And as the powers of all the stars rule in the Ayre so also in God but every power in God Sheweth it self with its operation severally and distinctly 62. Then afterward the Sound is in every power and the Tone or tune of the Sound is according to the quality of every power and therein consisteth the total Heavenly Kingdom of Joy and so from this divine Salitter and Mercurius all Angels are made viz. out of the Body of Nature Question 63. But thou mayest here ask How are they made or generated or in what way and manner Answer 64. If I had the tongue of an Angel and thou hadst an Angelical understanding we might very finely discourse of it But the Spirit only doth see it and the tongue cannot advance towards it For I can use no other words then the words of this world but now the Holy Ghost being in thee thy Soul will well apprehend it 65. For behold the totall holy Trinity hath with its moving Composed compacted or figured a Body or Image out of it self like a little God but not so fully or strongly going forth as the whole Trinity yet in some measure according to the extent and Capacity of the Creatures 66. For in God there is neither beginning nor end but the Angels have a beginning and end but not circumscriptive apprehensive palpable or conclusive for an Angel can sometime be great and suddenly little again their alteration is as swift as mans thoughts are All qualities and powers are in an Angel as they are in the whole Deity 67. But thou must rightly understand this They are made and compacted together or figured out of the Salitter and Mercurius that is out of the exit or excrescence 68. Consider this Similitude Out of the Sun and Stars go forth the Elements and they make in the Salitter of the Earth a living spirit and the stars remain in their Circle or Sphear and that Spirit likewise getteth the quality of the starres 69. But now the Spirit after its compaction is a severed distinct thing and hath a substance of its own as all the Stars have and the stars also are and remain severed and distinct things each of them is free to it self 70. Neverthelesse the quality of the Stars reigneth in the Spirit yet the Spirit can and may raise or demerse it self in its own qualities or may live in the influences of the stars as it pleaseth for it is free for it hath gotten the qualities which it hath in it self for its own 71. And though it had them at the beginning from the stars yet they are now its proper own Just as a mother when she hath the seed in her self as long as she hath it in her and that it is a feed it is hers but when the seed is become a child then it is no more the mothers but is the childs proper own 72. And though the child be in the mothers house and the mother nourisheth the child with her food and that the child could not live without the mother yet both the Body and the Spirit which are generated out of the mother are the Child 's proper own and it retaineth its corporeal right to it self 73. And in this manner it is with the Angels they are also all composed framed or figured out of the Divine Seed but every one hath his own Body to it self though they are in Gods house and feed on the fruit of their mother out of which they were made yet their Bodies are their proper own 74. But the quality Externally without them or externally without their Bodies viz. their mother is not their propriety as also their mother is not the childs propriety also the mothers food is not the and then we shall get the Angelical Clarity

or Glory and Purity again Question 11. Now thou wilt ask How are the Angels then Created according to the Image of God Answer 12. First the compacted figured Body is indivisible and incorruptible and not to be felt by Mans Hands for it is constituted or composed out of the Divine power and that power is so knit and bound together that it can never be destroyed again 13. 〈◊〉 as none no not any thing can destroy the whole Deity 〈◊〉 also there is not any thing can destroy an Angel 〈◊〉 every Angel is formed figured set together or compo●●● out of all the powers of God not with flesh and blood but out of the Divine power 14. And first the Body is out of 〈◊〉 the powers of the Father and in those powers is the light of God the Sonne and now the powers of the Father and of the Sonne which are in an Angel creaturely generate an understanding spirit which riseth up in that Angel 15. First of all the powers of the Father generate a light whereby an Angel seeth into the whole Father whereby he can see the outward power and operation of God which is Externally without its own Body and thereby can see its fellow-brethren and can see and enjoy the glorious fruit of God and therein con●isteth its Joy 16. And that light at first came out of the Sonne of God in the powers of the Father into the Angelical Body creaturely and is the Bodies proper own which cannot be withdrawn from it by any thing unlesse it self extinguisheth it as Lucifer did 17. Now all the powers which are in the whole Angel generateth that light and as God the Father generateth his Sonne to be his Heart so the power of the Angel generateth also its Sonne and Heart in it self and that again enlightneth all powers in the whole Angel 18. After that there goeth forth out of all the powers of the Angel and also out of the Light of the Angel a fountain which springeth or boyleth in the whole Angel and that is its spirit which riseth up into all eternity for in that spirit is all knowledge and skill of all the powers which are in the total God 19. For that spirit springeth up out of all the powers of the Angel and goeth up into the Mind where it hath five open Doors there it can look round about and see whatsoever is in God and also whatsoever is in it self 20. And so goeth forth from all the powers of the Angel as also from the light of the Angel as the Holy Ghost goeth forth from the Father and the Sonne and filleth the whole Corpus or Body Now Observe the Great Mystery 21. As there are Two things to be observed in God the first is the Salitter or the Divine powers out of which the Body or Corporeity is and the second is the Mercurius Tone Tune or Sound Thus also it is in like manner and form in an Angel 22. First there is the power and in the power is the Tone or Tune which riseth up in the spirit into the Head into the Mind as in man in the Brain and in the Mind it hath its open Doors or Gates but in the Heart it hath its Seat Residence and Original where it existeth out of all powers 23. For the fountain of all powers floweth in the Heart as it doth also in man and in the Head it hath its Princely seat where it seeth all smelleth all and feeleth all 24. And now when it seeth and heareth the divine Tone Tune and Sound rise up which is externally without it then is its spirit affected and kindled with joy and elevateth it self in its Princely seat and Singeth and ringeth forth very joyful words concerning Gods Holinesse and concerning the fruit and vegetation of the Eternal Life 25. Also concerning the ornament colours and Beauty of the eternal Joy and concerning the amiable blessed glance or gracious aspect and Countenance of God the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost also concerning the excellent fraternity fellowship and communion of Angels concerning the continual everlasting joyfulnesse concerning the holiness of God and concerning the Angels own Princely Government 26. In brief concerning all powers and that which proceedeth from all Gods powers which in regard of the untowardnesse of my corruption in the flesh I cannot write I would much rather be there present my self 27. But what I cannot write here I will commit to thy Soul to consider further of it and at the day of the Resurrection you shall see it most plainly and clearly 28. You should not here scorn my spirit for it is not sprung forth from the wild Beast but is generated from my power and vertue and enlightened by the Holy Ghost 29. I write not here without knowledge but if thou like an Epicure and Fatted Swine of the Devill from the Devils instigation shouldst mock at these things and say 30. The Fool surely hath not gone up to heaven and seen or heard them these are meer Fables therefore in the power of my knowledge I would have you warned and Cited before the severe Judgment of God 31. And though in my body I am too weak to bring thee thither yet That from which I have my knowledge is mighty and potent enough to cast thee even into the Abysse of Hell 32. Therefore take warning and consider that thou also belongest to the Angelical Quire and read the following Hymne with longing delight and then the Holy Ghost will be awakened and stirr'd up in thee and thou also wilt get a desire and Longing after the heavenly Chorus and Quire of Dancing Amen 33. The Musician hath wound up his Pegs and tuned his Strings the Bridegroom cometh take heed thou dost not get the hellish Gout in thy feet when the Round beginneth lest thou be found uncapable or unfit for the Angelical Dance and so be thrust out from the Wedding seeing thou hast no Angelical Garment on 34. Surely the Gate will be lock'd upon thee and so thou wilt not enter in any more but wilt Dance with the Hellish Wolves in the hellish fire truly thou wilt forget then to mock and sorrow will gnaw thee Of the Qualification of an Angel Question 35. The Question now is What manner of qualification hath an Angel Answer 36. The Holy Soul of a man and the spirit of an Angel is and hath one and the same Substance and Being and there is no difference therein but onely in the quality it self or their corporeal government that which qualifieth outwardly or from without in man by the Ayr hath a corrupt earthly quality yet on the other side it hath also a Divine and heavenly quality hidden from the Creatures 37. But the holy Soul understandeth it well as the Kingly Prophet David saith The Lord rideth on the wings of the wind Psal. 104. 3. Question 38. But a simple man may ask What do you mean by the word qualifying or what is that Answer 39.
