subject_a of_o several_a of_o this_o author_n other_o write_n the_o extract_v of_o it_o be_v forbear_v a_o brief_a exposition_n of_o the_o small_a six_o point_n the_o first_o point_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o water_n of_o the_o soul_n 1._o the_o soul_n be_v a_o magic_a fire_n its_o form_n be_v generate_v in_o the_o light_n and_o though_o itself_o be_v no_o substance_n yet_o it_o have_v a_o substance_n and_o preservation_n which_o be_v its_o flesh_n blood_n and_o water_n for_o the_o tincture_n of_o fire_n and_o light_n in_o the_o water_n make_v blood_n which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o wisdom_n have_v in_o it_o all_o the_o form_n of_o nature_n and_o all_o colour_n be_v another_o or_o second_v magic_a fire_n 2._o according_a to_o the_o light_n it_o be_v divine_a virtue_n and_o according_a to_o the_o fire_n it_o be_v a_o sharpness_n of_o transmutation_n and_o drive_v up_o every_o thing_n to_o its_o high_a pitch_n or_o degree_n 3._o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o divine_a substantiality_n consist_v in_o the_o high_a mystery_n and_o at_o the_o death_n of_o the_o outward_a body_n it_o retire_v to_o the_o same_o and_o the_o outward_a mystery_n go_v home_o to_o the_o inward_a and_o because_o each_o magic_a fire_n have_v its_o clarity_n or_o darkness_n therefore_o a_o final_a day_n of_o separation_n be_v appoint_v the_o second_o point_n of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n 1._o god_n alone_o be_v all_o who_o infinite_a abyssal_n substance_n part_v into_o three_o distinction_n one_o in_o the_o other_o yet_o the_o one_o be_v not_o the_o other_o viz._n the_o fire_n world_n dark-world_n and_o light-world_n from_o the_o desire_n come_v the_o centre_n of_o nature_n and_o from_o that_o centre_n the_o first_o three_o form_n who_o have_v no_o pain_n in_o they_o but_o the_o fire_n cause_v pain_n 2._o in_o the_o fire_n be_v the_o life_n tend_v to_o light_n and_o darkness_n which_o of_o they_o the_o desire_n fill_v itself_o with_o in_o that_o it_o burn_v be_v it_o heaven_n or_o hell_n if_o it_o give_v itself_o to_o self_n property_n it_o burn_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o dark_a anguish_n but_o if_o to_o the_o universal_a will_n in_o resignation_n it_o be_v fire_n burn_v in_o the_o light_n driving_z up_z no_o substance_n but_o be_v in_o the_o liberty_n of_o god_n 3._o god_n predestination_n be_v not_o in_o the_o first_o essence_n that_o be_v only_o a_o mystery_n but_o predestination_n pass_v upon_o the_o introduce_v substance_n be_v it_o the_o wrath_n or_o love_n for_o the_o life_n be_v regenerate_v into_o one_o of_o they_o and_o in_o which_o of_o they_o the_o will_n kindle_v itself_o on_o that_o pass_v the_o election_n or_o reprobation_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o god_n cause_v we_o to_o be_v teach_v so_o do_v the_o devil_n each_o of_o they_o will_v that_o man_n will_n shall_v converse_v and_o kindle_v itself_o in_o his_o fire_n see_v the_o book_n of_o predestination_n the_o three_o point_n what_o sin_n be_v and_o how_o it_o be_v sin_n 1._o two_o contrary_a will_n be_v a_o enmity_n god_n be_v pure_o one_o without_o source_n and_o though_o every_o source_n be_v in_o he_o yet_o not_o manifest_v for_o the_o good_a so_o subject_v the_o evil_a that_o it_o may_v be_v only_o a_o cause_n or_o root_n of_o light_n and_o life_n 2._o the_o good_a or_o light_n be_v as_o a_o nothing_o in●o_o which_o when_o a_o something_o enter_v there_o must_v be_v a_o spring_n to_o preserve_v that_o something_o the_o something_o be_v dark_a and_o the_o quality_n be_v manifold_a and_o covetousness_n fi●leth_v the_o one_o wherein_o god_n dwell_v with_o multiplicity_n 3._o though_o a_o unfathomable_a dwell_v not_o in_o a_o fathomable_a yet_o god_n dwell_v in_o the_o high_a or_o pretious_a life_n of_o man_n therefore_o must_v the_o will_n of_o life_n tend_v and_o subject_v itself_o to_o the_o one_o in_o before_o and_o above_o every_o creature_n for_o it_o be_v pregnant_a with_o that_o it_o lust_v after_o and_o no_o fire-source_n subsist_v in_o the_o free_a fire_n or_o fire_n of_o the_o liberty_n therefore_o can_v none_o unite_v to_o god_n till_o they_o be_v empty_v of_o their_o own_o will_n till_o than_o god_n and_o man_n be_v at_o enmity_n hence_o stand_v the_o immutable_a law_n that_o man_n depart_v from_o self_n or_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o one._n 4._o thus_o sin_n be_v manifest_a to_o be_v a_o will_n depart_v from_o god_n by_o awaken_n of_o and_o 30._o burn_v in_o the_o root_n of_o self-lust_n make_v itself_o a_o sole_a lord_n a_o contrary_a opposite_a will._n so_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o gather_v not_o with_o i_o scatter_v 5._o this_o
