The Second Booke CONCERNING The Three Principles OF The Divine Essence Of the Eternall Dark Light and Temporary VVorld SHEWING What the Soule the Image and the Spirit of the Soule are as also what Angels Heaven and Paradise are How Adam was before the Fall in the Fall and after the Fall AND What the Wrath of God Sinne Death the Devils and Hell are How all things have been now are and how they shall be at the Last Written in the German Language by Jacob Behmen Aliàs Teutonicus Philosophus LONDON Printed by M. S. for H. Blunden at the Castle in Cornhill 1648. ⧠To the READER SInce the Publishing of this Authours forty Questions in English the Mindes of severall Persons have had divers Thoughts concerning his Writings and yet have been of Searching apprehensions I would they were well acquainted with his Writings and then they would not onely be able to finde out the Truth in their own thoughts but also in the written words of him and others as in the Articles and confessions of Faith or any other Writings and it may be those thoughts they have though they be true if rightly understood yet if they may perhaps be misapprehended they may hinder themselves of inestimable Eternall Benefit Some have complained of the Hardnesse to understand his writings and therefore I have endeavoured the Englishing of this Booke of the Three Principles which the Authour saith is the A. B. C. to all his writings and if they reade it carefully they will finde it though hard at first easie at last and then all his other Bookes easie and full of Deep Understanding A Man cannot conceive the wonderfull knowledge before he hath read this Booke throughly and diligently which he will finde to be conteined in it when he is weighing and deliberating upon the Matter as he readeth and that without hard Study for it will rise in the Minde of it selfe with a ravishing sweetnesse and content and he will finde that the Threefold Life is tenfold deeper than this and the forty Questions to be tenfold deeper than that and that to be as deep as a Spirit is in it selfe as the Authour saith then which there can be no greater Depth for God himselfe is a Spirit And accordingly there appeare some Glimpses of the most Deepe Mysticall Orientall Learning heere and there which is not discovered in any Bookes and therefore some of the Learned Men of Europe think it may be past their Reach but they will finde that Ground in him which will make such things easie to be understood for the time of disclosing those Grounds so plainly was not till now that the Mysteries which have been hid since the wotld began should be revealed Those that had the Spirituall Understanding of the Naturall Mysteries were called Wisemen and they that understood the Divine Mysteries were called * Saints Holy Men and they were Prophets Preachers Apostles Evangelists and Beleevers The Wise Men of All Nations did write darkly of their Mysteries not to be understood but by such as were Lovers of those things and so the very Scriptures themselves which conteine all things in them cannot be understood but by such as love to follow practise and endeavour to doe those things which they finde in them ought to be done and those that led their Lives in such a way came to understand those Mysteries from which they were written and in severall Nations their wisdome hath had severall Names which hath caused our Age to take all the Names of the severall parts of wisdome and sort them into Arts among which the Magia and Cabala are accounted the most Mysticall the Magia consisting in the knowing how things have come to be and the Cabala in knowing how the words and formes of Things expresse the Reality of the Inward Mysterie But he that knoweth the Mysterie knoweth both these and all the Branches of the Tree of Wisdome in all Reall Arts and Sciences and the true Signification of every Idea in every Thought and Thing and Sound and Letter in every Language and therefore this Authour having the true knowledge could well expound the Letters of the Names of God and other words and Syllables the signification of which he saith is well understood in the Language of Nature and as one jot or tittle of the word of God shall not passe away till all be fulfilled so there is no tittle of any * As in the Revelations I am Α and Ω the beginning and the end Letter that is proceeded from that Eternall Essentiall Word as all things are but hath its weighty signification in the deepe understanding in that Word from whence it came even in the voices of All Men and sounds of All other Creatures also the Letters and Syllables of a word of some Language doe expresse something of the Mysterie more exquisitely than of another and therefore I conceive the Authour useth sometime to expound words borrowed from the Hebrew Greek and some Latine words and other words of Art as well as German words and not alwayes words of his own Native Language onely according to their signification in the Language of Nature for that Language doth shew in every ones Mother Tongue the Greatest Mysteries that have ever been in the Nature of any thing in the Letters of that word by which it is expressed therefore let every one esteem those expositions of his according to their high worth for the knowledge of that Language is onely taught by the Spirit of the Letter Some think it is unnecessary to know such Mysteries indeed every ones Nature is not fitted with a Capacity for the highest Depths therefore they need not search so farre nor trouble themselves to looke for the understanding of that they desire not to know but that they may see how necessary his writings are let them reade the Authours own Preface to this Booke and there they shall finde the necessity of * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 knowing themselves for else they can never know God and then they cannot know the way to God though they reade it never so plainly set downe in the Scriptures and besides the way to God is in his writings more easie to be understood by those of our Age than in the Scripture because that hath been so vayled by Doubtfull Interpretations Expositions Inferences and Conclusions and therefore it must needs be highly necessary that such a foundation be laid as may assure us of the true meaning of the Scriptures which teach that which is so Absolutely necessary to salvation Moreover his Grounds will teach us the way to Get such understanding that wee shall know and feele as well as they to whom the Apostle John wrote that wee shall not neede any Man to teach us any thing for we shall know and get that Unction which teacheth all things and leadeth into all Truth though it is thought People cannot have that now by such as know not what is in Man
to seeke the f Wisdome Pearle for behold in the eternall wisdome of God before the Creation of the world the fall of the Devils and also of Man appeared in the Eternall Matrix and was seene for the Eternall Word in the Eternall Light knew very well that if it came to manifest the fountaine of the Eternall Birth that then every forme should breake forth yet it was not the will of the love in the word of the Light that the formes of the tart soure strong wrath should elevate themselves above the meeknesse but it had such a mighty or potent forme that it is so come to passe 23. Therefore the Devill also in regard of the might of the tart strong fierce wrath was called a Prince of this world in the angry strong fiercenesse of which you shall finde more about the Fall And therefore God created but one Man for God would that Man should continue in Paradise and live eternally and on the contrary the sternnesse or strong fierce wrath would tempt him to trie whether he would put his imagination and will wholly into the heart of God and into Paradise wherein he was 24. And because Adam was drawne forth out of the strong sterne soure Essences therefore he must be tempted to try whether his Essences out of which his imagination and lust proceeded could stand in the heavenly quality or whether he would eate of the Verbum Domini the Word of the Lord and to try which essence whether the Paradisicall or the strong fierce wrathfull would overcome in Adam 25. And this was the purpose of God therefore to create but one Man that the same might be tempted and tried how he would stand and that upon his Fall he might the better be helped and the heart of God did before the foundation of the world in his love fore-intend or prepurpose to come to help him and when no other remedy could doe it the heart of God himselfe would become Man and regenerate Man againe 26. For Man is not fallen of strong fierce angry pride like the Devill but his earthly Essences have overcome his Paradisicall Essences and brought them into the earthly lust and in that regard he hath Grace againe bestowed upon him The highest strongest and the mightiest Gate of the Temptation in Adam 27. Here I will faithfully admonish the Reader deeply to consider Moses for g Not onely in this Chapter but in all these Writâ—ngs here under the vaile of Moses he may looke upon the face of Moses Also he may see the second Adam in the h Or womb or lap love of the Virgin Also he may see him in his Temptation and upon the Crosse as also in Death and lastly in the vertue of the Resurrection at the right hand of God Also you may see Moses on Mount Sinai and lastly the Clarification or Transfiguration of Christ Moses and Elias on Mount Thabor Also you may see herein the whole Scripture of the Old and New Testament Also you finde herein all the Prophets from the beginning of the world hitherto and all the might and power of all Tyrants wherefore things have gone so and must still goe as they doe Lastly you finde the Golden Gate of the Omnipotence or Allmightinesse and of the great power in the love and humility and wherefore the children of God must still be tempted and wherefore the noble graine of Mustard seed must grow in stormes crosses and misery and wherefore it cannot be otherwise Also herein you finde the Essence of all Essences 28. And it is the Gate of the Lilly concerning which the Spirit witnesseth that it will i Shortly hereafter grow in the wrathfull Tree and when it groweth it will bring us true knowledge by its pleasant and fragrant smell in the holy Trinity by which smell Antichrist will be stifled Note wee must yet conceale the Exposition of this verse and the Tree of the sterne anger be broken downe and the Beast enraged which hath its might and strength from the Tree for a time till it be dry and fiery because it can get no more sap from the wrathfull Tree that is broken downe and then it will smell or lift up it selfe in the fierce tart k Or Rage wrath against the Tree and the Lilly till the Tree of which the Beast did eate and was strong destroy the Beast and his power remaine in the fire of the Originalnesse And then all Doores will stand open in the great Tree of Nature and the Priest Aaron will give his Garment and faire Ornament to the Lamb that was slaine and is alive againe 29. Reader who lovest God hereby it will be shewne thee that the great mysteries l Or are imparted to us doe meete us concerning the hidden things that were in Adam before his fall and that yet there are much greater after his fall when he was as it were dead and yet living and here is shewne the m Or continuall working Birth of the Eternall Essence and wherefore it still must have thus been that Adam must have been tempted and wherefore it could not have been otherwise though Reason continually n Speaketh against it gaine-sayeth it and alledgeth Gods Omnipotency that it was in him to hinder or suffer the doing of it 30. Beloved Reason leave off your thoughts for with these thoughts and conceits you know not God nor the Eternity then how will you with such thoughts know the similitude which God generated out of the Eternall Minde it hath here been sundry times mentioned to you that the minde which yet is the greatest Essence in Man doth not stand in a o In a working property but is free Quall or source 31. If we thinke of or consider the incliner what that was which inclined and drew Adam to that which was forbidden that he should lust contrary to the Command of God whereas he was yet in great Perfection then wee shall finde the Eternall Minde out of which Adam was also created and that because he was an Extract out of the Eternall minde out of all Essences of all the three Principles therefore he must be tempted to trie whether he could stand in Paradise for the heart of God desired that he should continue in Paradise but now he could not continue in Paradise except he did eate Paradisicall fruit therefore now his heart should have been wholly p Given up to God inclined towards God and so he should have lived in the divine Centre and God had wrought in him 32. Now what opposed him or what drew him from Paradise to disobedience so that he passed into another Image forme or condition Behold thou childe of Man there was a threefold strife in Adam without Adam and in all whatsoever Adam beheld Thou wilt say What was it It was the three Principles first the Kingdome of Hell the power of the wrath and secondly the Kingdome of this world with the Starres and
bringing forth of the pleasant fruit of the Lilly in infinitum or infinitely where then the Essences of the Lilly springing up in wonders in many thousand thousands without number of which you have a similitude in the springing or blossoming earth 89. Beloved Minde behold consider this this now is God and his heavenly Kingdome even the eternall Element and Paradise and it standeth thus in the eternall originall from eternity to eternity Now what joy delight and pleasantnesse is therein I have no Pen that can describe it neither can I expresse it for the earthly tongue is too much insufficient to doe it all that men can say of it is like drosse compared with Gold and much more inferiour yea although the virgin n Discovereth it in the minde bâ—ingeth it into the minde yet all is too dark and too cold in the whole man so that he cannot expresse so much as one spark or glimps thereof sufficiently wee will deferre it till wee come into the bosome of the virgin wee have here onely given a short hint of it that the Author of this Book may be understood for wee are but a very little drop out of the fountaine of the wisdome of God and wee speake as a little sparkle or glimps but high enough for our earthly understanding and o Or in respect for our weake knowledge here upon earth for in this life we have no need of any higher knowledge of the eternall substance being or essence if wee doe but barely and nakedly speake of what hath been from eternity it is enough CHAP. XV. Of the a Or understanding knowledge of the Eternity in the corruptibility of the Essence of all Essences 1. NOw if wee consider of the Eternall will of God and of the b Beeing of all beeings or substance of all substances Essence of all Essences then wee finde in the Originalnesse but one onely beeing substance or Essence as is mentioned above out of this onely Essence is generated from Eternity the other beeing substance or Essence viz. the divine Essence and wee finde that both the beeings substances or Essences stand in Divine Omnipotence but not in one c Or working property source neither doe they mix together nor can either of them both be destroyed dissolved corrupted or broken 2. But yet they have two sorts of inclinations or desires each in it selfe for its own Yet because the divine beeing or Essence from Eternity is generated out of it selfe therefore it is inclined to helpe the weake and is rightly called Barmhertzigkeit Mercifulnesse 3. And now seeing the virgin of the eternall wisdome hath d Or Shone discovered her selfe in the Eternall Originall and in the eternall minde in the sharpe Essence of the breaking of the darknesse in the fire-flash hath found the depth of the e Eben-Bildes very Image of God and that the similitude of God is there in the Eternall Originall therefore shee hath longed after the similitude and that longing makes the attracting in the will and the will stood f Or presented before right against the similitude and the Fiat in the attracting of the willing created the will in the similitude out of which came the Angels altogether But now the Eternall Essences were in the similitude and the wisdome discovered or manifested her selfe in the Essences in many thousand thousands that the eternall wonders might be revealed or made manifest and thereupon there went forth according to every essence as out of a fountaine many thousand thousands 4. And from thence came the Names of the Thrones and Principalities as according to the Essences of the first and great g Or fountain source which in the discovering of the Eternall wisdome of God goeth forth againe into many thousand thousands yet there is a certaine number of them and in the Centre of God none or no number but infinitenesse and thus out of the fountaine of every Essence are gone forth first the h Or Throne-Angels Thrones and in the Throne many thousand thousands 5. These the Fiat created to a similitude and Image of God and overshaddowed the same in the Fiat with the overflowing vertue of God and the will of God i Or presented it selfe before set it selfe right against the Image and similitude and they now which received the will they became Angels for they set their imagination in the will in the heart of God and they did eate of the Verbum Domini of the Word of the Lord but they that set their Imagination in the darke minde as Lucifer did that he might flie out above the Deity and meeknesse in the might of the fire in the flash in the sharpe might of God and be Lord alone they became Devils and they have that name from their being thrust or driven out of the light for they were in the light when the Fiat created them for the Fiat which created them stood in the light 6. Thus the Devill is the fault and guilty of his own fall for he suffered himselfe to be moved by the Matrix of the k Or Grimnesse sternnesse fiercenesse sourenesse or wrath whereas he yet had his own will to take hold of Light or Darknesse And Lucifer was a Throne that is a l A fountaine with a great many veines or as a stock with many branches source or fountaine of a great essence from whence went forth all his servants or Ministers and they did like him and so they were thrust back into the darknesse for the light of God goeth not into the grimnesse wrath or fiercenesse 7. And there the Fiat which created the fierce wrathfull or grim Devils in hope that they would of Devills become Angels who set their imagination therein that thereby they might domineere over God and the Kingdome of Heaven was infected in the figuring of the similitudes and so instantly kindled the Element in the similitude viz. in the out-Birth or procreation in the speculating or beholding so that the Essence hath generated to the highest Essences from whence goe forth the foure Elements of this world of the third Principle and the sharp Fiat of God which stood in the Out-Birth or procreation hath created the out-Birth out of which the earth and stones are proceeded 8. For when the Fiat kindled the Element in the Out-birth then the kindled Materia or matter became palpable or comprehensible this was not now fit for Paradise but it was ex-created or made externall yet that the Element with its out-Birth might no more generate thus therefore God created the Heaven out of the m The one pure Element Element and caused or suffered out of the Element which is the heavenly Limbus the third Principle to spring up where the Spirit of God againe discovered or revealed it selfe in the virgin viz. in the Eternall Wisdome and found out in the out-Birth n the corruptible substance the similitude againe and the discovering stood in
Spirit highly knowne by him Wonderfull Power or vertue Champion or Saviour Eternall Father and Prince of Peace whose Dominion is great and upon his shoulders d Over the creatures of the inward Element understand upon the creatures of the Element 53. And the second Birth of the soule of Christ stood in the naturall propagation like the soules of all men for he also as well as other Men was in six Moneths wholly figured framed or formed with a naturall body and soule with all the Gates of the Minde and senses the soule in the first Principle and the body in the third Principle and then Christ the true breaker through continued standing in the second Principle in the Kingdome of God and after nine Moneths was borne a Man out of the body or womb of the virgin Mary and wee saw his Glory as the Glory of the onely begotten Sonne of God the Father 54. And here the light shone in the Darknesse of the naturall outward body as Saint John witnesseth He came into or to his own and his own received him not for they knew him not but those which received him to them he gave the might to be the children of God and they were through him begotten to the Kingdome of Heaven for his is the Kingdome the Power or Might and Glory in Eternity Amen 55. Thus consider heere thou beloved Minde thou shalt heere finde the e The foundation hit the mark or get the prize roote whereby Men before the f Or nativity Birth of Christ entered into salvation if you understand this writing aright as the same is knowne by the Author in the Grace of God then you understand all whatsoever Moses and the Prophets have written as also all whatsoever the Mouth of Christ hath taught and spoken thou hast no need of any g Or dead teaching or other Mans exposition Maske or Spectacles about it that knowledge needeth not to be h Or approved confirmed by the Antichristian Throne or Stoole who saith The Divine Ordinances must be established by his Sea or Throne and whatsoever Men must teach and beleeve as if i That which we call I or selfe in our Reason he could not erre 56. The light of Nature sheweth us now in the love of God cleane another Throne which God the Father with his Sonne Jesus Christ hath established the same is the Eternall k The Throne of Resignation in the mercy of God Throne in or of Grace where our soule may be new Regenerated and not in the Antichristian Throne that is nothing else but the Throne of Babell the Confusion where he may continue to be the Ape of Christ upon Earth with his brave l Or Degree of Master or Doctor Hood where of late wee saw a young Lad Disciple or Scholler who pluckt the Pearle from his m His might power and authority Hatband and his Hatband broke and then he became as another Earthly Man and none saluted reverenced or regarded him The difference or Distinction between the virgin Mary and her Son JESUS CHRIST The Earnest and true Gate of Christian Religion and of the Articles of Beliefe earnestly to be considered for Mans salvation-sake and because of the inventions and opinions of Hereticks and Schismaticks forged by the confused Babell of Antichrist The high and deep Gate of the Aurara and Day-spring in the Roote of the Lilly 57. The Mysterium or Mystery which wee knew not before meeteth us nor did wee know the Ground of it neither did wee ever esteeme our selves worthy of such a Revelation but seeing it appeareth unto us of Grace through the Mercy of the Gracious Sonne of God our Lord Jesus Christ therefore wee must not be so Lazy but Labour in the Garden of the Lilly in love to our Neighbour and for the sake of the Children of Hope especially for the sake of the poore sick Lazarus who lieth wounded in Babell who after his painfull sicknesse shall be healed e Or by in the smell of the Lilly and when he shall begin to goe out from Babell wee will set a Roote before him in Hebron which shall afford him strength to get quite out of f Out of the contentious wrangling opinions Babell for his health 58. For the virgin the wisdome of God hath graciously bestowed a Rose upon us of which wee will write in such words as wee behold in that Wonder and wee cannot write otherwayes but our Pen is broken and the Rose taken from us and then wee are as wee were before the time of our knowledge whereas yet the Rose standeth in the Centre of Paradise in the hand of the virgin which shee reacheth forth to us in the same place where shee came to us in the Gate of the Deepe and proffered us her love when wee lay on the Mountaine towards the g Or midnight North in the strife and storme before Babell which virgin our Earthly Man hath never seene nor knowne 59. Therefore wee write out of a Schoole wherein the earthly body with its h Or Reason senses never studied nor never learned the A B C for in the Rose of the virgin wee learned that A B C which we supposed wee could have learned from the i Or Senses thoughts of the Minde but that could not be they were too rough and too dark they could not comprehend it and therefore the earthly body must not learne in this Schoole and its tongue cannot raise it selfe up to it for the minde of this Schoole stood hidden in the Gate of the Deepe in the Centre therefore wee ought not to boast of this Schoole at all for it is not the proper one of the senses or thoughts and minde of the earthly Man and if wee goe forth from the Centre of the noble virgin then wee know as little from this Schoole as others just as it was with Adam when he went out of the Paradise of God into the sleepe of being overcome then at his awaking in this world he knew no more of Paradise and he knew his loving k The Noble Sophia the Eternall Wisdome of God virgin no more 60. Therefore wee have no ability might nor understanding in our earthly Will to teach of the Wonders of God wee understand nothing thereof according to our in-bred nature and none ought to require any thing from our owne will for wee have nothing in it 61. But the Spirit l Declareth or foretelleth intimateth that if you shall goe out from Babell into the meeknesse of Jesus Christ then the Spirit in Hebron will give you Teachers with great power at whose Power the Elements will tremble and the m Or the secret Mysteries Gates of the Deep flie open and thou shalt goe out from Lazarus his sicknesses and sores through the word and wonders of these men for the time is neere the Bridegroom cometh to fetch home his Bride 62. And now if wee consider in
yee Turkes and other superstitious People you should observe and understand aright wherefore Christ gave us â—â—ch Lawes as command us not to be revengefull and that when any strike us on the one cheeke wee should present the other to him and so further that wee should blesse them that curse us and doe well to them that hate us and hurt us understand yee this 94. Behold a true Christian who liveth in the Spirit of Christ must also walke in the conversation of Christ he must not walke in the fierce sterne revenging Spirit of this world but as Christ lived and conversed in this world after his Resurrection and yet not in the source or property of this world And though it is not possible for us while wee live in the source of this world to doe so yet in the new Man in Christ whom the Devill hideth and obscureth wee may if wee live in meeknesse then wee overcome the world in Christ if wee recompence Good foa Evill then we witnesse that the Spirit of Christ is in us and then wee are dead to the Spirit of this world for the sake of the Spirit of Christ which is in us and though wee are in this world yet the world doth but hang to us as it hung to Christ after his Resurrection and yet he lived in the Father in the Heaven even so doe wee also if wee be borne in Christ 95. Therefore let this be told you yee Jewes Turkes and other Nations yee need not looke for any other there is no other Time at hand but the Time of the Lilly and the signe of that time is the u See vers 82. signe of Elias Therefore take heed in what Spirit you live that the fire of Anger doe not devoure you and x Or consume you eate you up It is high time to cast Jezabel with her whoredomes out of the house least you receive the wages of the whore and as you revile one another so you devoure one another Truly if the contentious Disputations be not suddenly stayed and these courses mended the fire will burne out aloft over Babel and then there will be no remedy till the Anger eate up and consume all whatsoever is in it 96. Therefore let every one enter into himselfe and not speake of another and hold his way to be false but look that he turne himselfe and have a care that he be not found in Anger of the devourer else if he should hoope and hallow and laughing say looke how Babell burneth then he must be burnt and consumed also for he is fuell for that fire and whosoever feeleth a thought in himselfe that doth but wish for the Anger to devoure y And he is of Babell that proceedeth from Babell 97. Therefore it is very hard to know Babell every one supposeth that he is not in it and yet the Spirit sheweth mee that Babell z Includeth incompsseth encloseth the whole Earth therefore let every one look to his own wayes and not hunt after covetousnesse for the a The wrath devoureth all that covetousnesse gathereth together Driver destroyeth it and the Stormer eateth it up and consumeth it the Counsell of the Wise Man will not help then all the Wisdome of this world is folly for that b Or the devouring punishment Fire is from the Anger of God your Wisdome will turne to your hurt and scorne Of Christs Ascension into Heaven 98. As wee know when Adam had lived forty dayes in the Paradise then he went into the Spirit of this world whereas he should have gone into the Trinity for he stood in the Time of the Temptation and if he had held out these forty dayes then he had been fully with his soule in the Light of God and his body in Ternario sancto in the Holy Ternary like this Christ 99. For when he had conversed forty dayes after his Resurrection in the Proba or Triall in this world then he went up into a Mountaine whither he had appointed his Disciples to come and went up aloft visibly with his own body which he had offered up on the Crosse till a cloud came and did hide him from their fight for a sure signe that he was their Brother and that he in this Earthly forme and body would not forsake them as he also said to them Behold I am with you to the end of the world 100. Now then saith Reason whither is he gone is he gone out of this world aloft above the Starres into another Heaven Hearken my beloved Reason incline thy Minde to Christ and behold I will tell it thee for we see it and know it not I for when I say we you must not barely understand it of my Earthly Man for the Spirit that driveth this Pen is spoken of also therefore I write and say wee when I speake of my selfe as of the Author for I should know nothing if the Spirit of knowledge did not stirre it up in mee and there could be nothing found but in such a way the Spirit would not be in any other way but he did hide and withdraw himselfe and then my soule was very much disquieted in mee with great longing after the Spirit till I did learne how it was 101. Behold that which the Antients have invented and taught is not the Ground They tooke upon them to measure how many hundred thousand miles it is to c Coelum Empyreum they call it the Heaven whither Christ is gone They did it to this end that they might be Gods upon Earth themselves as their invented Kingdome sheweth and declareth which standeth meerly in Babell Behold when wee speake of the Thrones it is cleane another thing than that they meane and their blindnesse and ignorance is found though there is a Spirit in their knowledge which is not so much rejected but that Spirit is not or cometh not ex Ternario sancto out of the Holy Ternary out of the Body of Jesus Christ but it is out of the High Eternity which flieth up above the Thrones which may be mentioned in another place 102. Wee must continue in this Throne which is ours what are the other Thrones to mee where the Principalities of Angels are they are indeed our friends and faithfull helpers in the service of God wee must look upon our own Throne wherein wee were created and made Creatures and upon our Prince in that Throne upon God The first Purpose of God when he created us and beheld us in the Eternall Band that must stand 103. This was the Throne of Lucifer with his Legions but when he fell he was thrust out into the first Principle and then the Throne in the second Principle was empty in the same Principle God created Man which should continue therein and it was tempted to try whether that were possible and to that end it was that God created the Third Principle in the place of this world that Man also in the fall
