The whole true Christendom is Christs Mother which beareth Christ in her And John viz. the Servants and Ministers of Christ are her Nurses which take care for the Mother of Christ as John did he presently received the Mother of Christ and provided for her as her Son and not as her Lord for Christ said also unto him Behold she is thy Mother even so should all the Disciples and Teachers of Christ do and take care of the poor Christendom as Sons with great Humility towards the Mother provide for and cherish her with diligence and circumspection and serve her with all discreet modesty courtesie and humility feed and comfort her with the Spirit of Christ not as the Priests in Babel do who ride over her as wealthy rich domineering Masters and will be Lords over the Mother and only seek Honours and to fatten their Bellies in pleasure and live in Strife and Contention these one with the other of what Name or Title soever they be are not all Johannites but they are the poysonful Mercurial Pharisees in whom there is nothing but meer anguish vexation pain and torment where one property doth continually torment envy and hate the other and holds it out for false and yet they are all only out of one root and have all only one will save that one colour doth not glister as the other 58. For Saturn is not as Jupiter Jupiter is not as Mars Mars viz. the Fire spirit is not as the light of the Sun and the Sun is not as Venus with her meek water-Source and Venus is not as Mercury with his Sound for she is meek and still and Mercury soundeth and setteth up his note and Mercury also is not as Luna which as a simple body doth give body to all the rest for manifestation the one is far otherwise then another and have not one property and will and yet they are in the Centre of the Essence viz. in Luna and Saturn in the property of the Soul and Body all of them one and the same batch Thus the partial Sectarian Mercurialites and Baals Servants are divided in these properties they are the Pharisees which judg and condemn Jesus in his Members 59. They wrangle and contend only about the Church and yet none will take care of the poor forsaken Mother of Christ they are mad in their Martial and Mercurial Contest and are not Johannites they enter not in Christs Spirit at the door of Christ into the Sheep fold They are Wolves Lyons and Bears yea Foxes and fearful Hares who fly from and forsake the Mother their Rise and Original is out of Babel where they continually contend wrangle grin and bite one another for the Letter Every one will be Lord and Master over the Letter and transpose and place it as he pleaseth only for the Honour Applause and Pleasure of this World They consider not that the Mother is a Widow and that Christ hath left and ordained them that they should be such Curates for her as John 60. O thou dear Mother of Christendom let these Wolves Bears and Lyons go and shelter themselves where they please regard no longer these evil Beasts take the John the Disciple of Christ who teacheth the Love and Humility 61. O thou dear and worthy Mother art thou not only One Wherefore dost thou suffer the Lyons to rent and teer thee in pieces Christ is thy Husband all these are Strangers and Hirelings unless they walk in thy filial Love and humble themselves towards the Mother and provide for her as Ministers else they be all Wolves Bears and teering Lyons although there were many thousand of them yet one is not at all better then another unless he comes forth in the line of Iohn and take care of Christs Mother and provide for the Mother with earnestness in Christs Spirit which if he hath not he is not then called of Christ to be a Guardian or Curate to the Mother but he is a Mercurialite a Pharisee such as Christ called the Seed of Serpents and Generation of Vipers who crucifie Jesus in his Members 62. And thus the Philosopher must consider of well observe Christs Mother whom he recommended unto Iohn to take care for he must likewise be a Iohn and know that his business is about the Mother and that his work in this world is not wholly Heavenly he will not so manifest Paradise that God will appear and be manifest face to face in his Work no he remaineth in the Mother yet he obtaineth the Universall in the Mother for the Mother of Christ obtained it also for it was said unto her Thou art the blessed among all women 63. So likewise the Philosopher reacheth unto the Blessing in this valley of misery that he is able to bless his corrupt body that is Tincture it and free it from sickness even to the limit of his highest Constellation according to Saturn and therefore let him take heed of Covetousness for so he introduceth the Turba 64. By the Type of Iohn and the Mother of Christ he is to know that the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of this World are two in his Work and that Gods Kingdom lyeth shut up in the Mother viz. in his work of which he must take care be a Minister thereunto and not a Lord of the Mother but an Alms-giver and not a gatherer of Treasure and Wealth not a covetous muck-Muck-worm also none shall attain unto it or understand our meaning that wil not be a Guardian of the Mother the most High hath laid a bar before the foolish understanding that it is blind until it be weary with secking I speak in the ground of truth 65.
