A55474	Theologia mystica, or, The mystic divinitie of the aeternal invisibles, viz., the archetypous globe, or the original globe, or world of all globes, worlds, essences, centers, elements, principles and creations whatsoever by a person of qualitie, J.P., M.D.	Pordage, John, 1607-1681.; Lead, Jane, 1623-1704.; Hooker, Edward.	1683 (1683)	Wing P2968; ESTC R8838	181,392	278

Names consists in this Now we cannot imagine but that those Names by which the Holy Spirit doth call any thing have all the excellence and truth which a Name is capable of and consequently must very properly and significantly express the Nature of the thing named the name of this third Place you have heard is the still Eternity and consequently have reason to conclude that the Essentiall difference of this Place is the Majestick silence and awful stillness with which it is continually filled This is such a stillness as surpasseth not only all expressions but likewise all thoughts and imaginations and because of this Majestick silence and unexpressibly awful stillness this most Holy Place is also called the Presence-Chamber of the Deity this supernatural silence and stillness being the ornament state and pompe of it to which all the Glory and magnificence of Monarchs here is but as a shadow or nothing 3. The third particular is the Wonders which are to be seen in this place in respect of which as was mentioned before it was called the Rock of wonders and these wonders are five in number viz. 1st The Spirit of Eternity or the Eternal Unity 2dly The Holy Trinity 3dly The Virgin Wisdome of God 4thly The Seren Spirits before the Throne 5thly and Lastly the Inhabitants of the Still E●●rnity 1. The first wonder which manifests its self in this Rock of wonders is the Spirit of Eternity or the Eternal Unity which doth fill the total deep Abysse with it self that is with all Power Here the Spirit of Eternity discovers its self to be the first and original Power the Power of all Powers yea All-power it self And this manifestation of the Spirit of Eternitie's being All-power is more full magnificent and glorious in the stil Eternity than in the inward or outward Court where the Deity doth also discover himself to be All-sufficient and Omnipotent but not in that Sovereignty and Majesty with which he appears to the Eye of the Mind in this his presence-Chamber Here the Glory of the All-power of the Deity is seen Nakedly openly and without a veile eye to eye and face to face the sight of which doth cause ravishing Extasies unexpressible Ioys and transporting admiration to fill the heart of the beholder it being a sight so glorious as no words can express nor no thoughts represent to the mind as being beyond all comprehension The second wonder in this Rock of wonders the still Eternity is the Holy and ever blessed Trinity Father Son and Holy Spirit The Father is the Original power of all powers subsisting in by and from himself which Original power of the Father is most clearly and openly discovered in the still Eternity in the highest magnificence Majesty and Glory This supreme power of the Father is the beginning of all power and the fulness of all power filling the Heighths Depths and Bredth o● the still Eternity this Power of the Father is an Eternal Unity and simplicity that is it is free from all manner of contrariety divisibility composition or mixture as being an Uniform Universal diffusive power which is nothing else but pure Deity and further we cannot search into this Power of the Father to know what it is for none knows what pure Deity is but God himself It is this Paternal power which fills the still Eternity throughout in the appearance of the clearest transparency and brightness I have now given you an account how the Father manifests himself in the still Eternity to be All-power yet before I leave this particular for fu●ther explanation I shall shew you negatively what this Power of the Father is not First then say I that this Power of the Father is no personal power for nothing of personality is manifested in the still Eternity only a Uniform Universal diffusive Power in the appearance of the greatest brightness fills it throughout 2. Neither is this Power of the Fathers any Organical Image resembling that of Angels or men having distinction of parts and members for nothing of this kind can be found in the Eternal Unity of the Father's All-power And thus much shall suffice to have spoken concerning the Father who is the First in the Trinity We now proceed to the second viz. the Son of the Father The Son is an Essential power immediately generated by the Father out of his own divine Essence and therefore he is co-essential and co-equal with the Father For the Son's power dilateth and co-extendeth it self in with and through the Father's power to the utmost bounds and limits of the still Eternity and filleth the deep Abysse with his own Power 's in the Father's Power as being co-essentiall and co-equall with the Father Again this Power of the Son is also the co-eternal with the Father for though the Father may be said to be before the Son in order of Nature forasmuch as he is the generator of the Son yet we cannot say that the Father is before the Son as to priority of time for the Son exists from all Eternity at once and together with the Father and therefore is the Eternal Son of the Father If you would further know what this generated Power of the Son is I say it is an Eternal Vnity and pure Deity even as the Father's Power is But for the further opening of what the Son of God is you may take notice of these following particulars 1. In the first place the Son of God is the first begotten of the Father He is the first born of all Beings as being that Essentiall word Co-eternal with the Father by whom the Father made all things and without whom nothing was made By him were all things created whether they be in Heaven or on Earth whether visible or invisible whether Thrones or Dominions Principalities or Powers all things were created by him and for him and therefore he must needs be before them all and consequently be the first begotten of the Father Secondly this Son of God is the only begotten Son of the Father all other Sons whether Angels or men receive their filiation or sonship from this only begotten Son of the Father and are called Sons forasmuch as they part●ke of and are centred in this only begotten Son they are Sons in and because of this only begotten Son and beloved in the only beloved of the Father Thirdly this Son is the Co-essentiall Son of the Father of the same essence and nature with the Father now the Nature of the Father is Purity Holiness Righteousness Meekness Love Goodness and Perfection and such is the Son's nature also and therefore the Son is called the Brightness of his Father's Glory and the expresse Image of his subsistence But the Image of the Father is no organicall Image but consists in Light Life and Love The Father is all Light and in him is no darkness at all he is all Life and in him is no Death he is all Love and in him is no Wrath and the
