towards her children and here the Bitternesse may be rightly called Joy for it is the rising or moving thereof what joy there is here there is no other similitude of it than when a man is suddenly and unexpectedly delivered out of the pain and torment of hell and put into the light of the Divine Joy 18. So also the sound where the Love is predominant it bringeth most joyfull tidings or newes into all the forms of the Birth as also the fire in the love that kindleth the love rightly in all the Fountain-spirits as is mentioned above and the Love kindleth Love in its essence When the Love is predominant in Love it is the sweetest meekest humblest lovingest fountain of all that springeth in all the fountains and it confirmeth and fixeth the heavenly birth so that it is a holy divine Essence or Substance 19. You must also mark the form of the Water-spirit when that generateth its like so that it is predominant in its regeneration or second birth and that a center be awakened in it which it self in its own essence doth not awaken but the other fountain-spirits do it therein it the Water-spirit is still and quiet as a meek mother and suffereth the other to sow their seed into it and to awaken the center in it so that the fire riseth up from whence the life is moved In this form the fire is not a hot burning scorching fire but cool milde soft and sweet and the bitternesse is no bitternesse but cool milde budding and flowing forth from whence the forming or figuring and beauteous shape in the heavenly glory proceedeth and is a most beautifull substance for the sound also in this birth floweth forth most pleasantly and harmoniously all as it were palpably or feelingly or in a similitude as a word that cometh to be an essence or a comprehensible substance For in this regeneration that is brought to passe in the water-spirit that is in the true mother of the regeneration of all the fountain-spirits all is as it were comprehensible or substantiall although no comprehensibility must be understood here but spirit CHAP. IV. Of the true eternall Nature that is of the numberlesse and endlesse generating of the Birth of the eternal Essence which is the Essence of all Essences out of which were generated born and at length created this World with the Starres and Elements and all whatsoever moveth stirreth or liveth therein The open Gate of the great Depth 1. HEre I must encounter with the proud and seeming wise conceited who doth but grope in the dark and knoweth or understandeth nothing of the Spirit of God and must comfort both him and also the desirous longing Reader who loveth God and must shew them a little doore to the Heavenly Essence and shew them in what manner they should understand these writings before I come to the chapter it self 2. I know very well and my spirit and minde sheweth me as much that many will be offended at the simplicity and meannesse of the Anthour for offering to write of such high things and many will think with themselves he hath no authority to do it and that he doth very sinfully in it and runneth clean contrary to God and his will in presuming being but a man to goe about to speak and say what God is 3. For it is lamentable that since the fall of Adam we should be so continually cheated and befooled by the Devill to think that we are not the children of God nor of his essence He continually putteth the monstrous shape or form into our thoughts as he did into our mother Eve which she gazed too much upon and by her representing it in her imagination she became a childe of this world wholly naked and vain and void of understanding And so he doth to us also continually still he would bring us into another Image as he did Eve that we might be ashamed to appeare in the presence of the Light and power of God as Adam and Eve were when they hid themselves behinde the trees that is behinde the monstrous shape or form when the Lord appeared in the centre of the birth of their lives and said Where art thou Adam And he said I am naked and am afraid which was nothing else but that his beliefe or faith and knowledge of the holy God was put out for he beheld the monstrous shape which he had made to himselfe by his imagination and lust by the Devils instigation representation and false perswading to eat of the third Principle wherein corruption was 4. And now when he saw and knew by that which God had told him that he should die and perish if he did eat of the knowledge of good and evill it made him continually imagine that he was now no more the child of God and that he was not created out of Gods own essence or substance out of the first Principle he conceived that he was now but a meere child of this world when he beheld his corruptibility and also the monstrous image which he was in and that the Paradisicall understanding delight and joy was departed from him so that his spirit and perfection was driven out of Paradise that is out of the second Principle of God where the Light or the Heart of God is generated from eternity to eternity and where the holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne and that he now lived no more meerly by the word of God but did eat and drink viz the birth of his life henceforward consisted in the third Principle that is in the Region Kingdome or dominion of the Starres and Elements and he must now eat of the vertue and fruit thereof and live thereby and thereupon he then supposed that he was past recovery and that the noble image of God was destroyed And beside the Devill also continually represented his corruptibility and mortality to him and himselfe could see nothing else being he was gone out of paradise that is out of the incorruptible holy geniture or operation of God wherein he was Gods holy image and childe in which God created him to continue therein for ever And if the mercifull love of God had not appeared to him again in the center of the birth of his life and comforted him he would have thought that he were wholly departed or quite separated from the eternall Divine birth and that he were no more in God nor God any more in him and that he were no more of Gods essence 5 But the favourable love that is the onely begotten Sonne of God or that I may set it down so that it may be understood the lovely fountain where the light of God is generated sprung up grew again in Adam in the center of the birth of his life in the fifth form of his birth whereby Adam perceived that he was not broken off from the Divine root but that he was
