himself into his Mystery viz into his Rest in the Grave 233. Concerning which David saith He should rest secure for the Lord was set before him in Christ in whose Protection he rested in Christ viz in the Limit or Mark of the Covenant in the Looking-Glasse of Christ which God set before him in the Covenant of the Circumcision and in the Sacrifices as if Christ were therein for he had Promised Christ therein till the fullfilling in the Flesh came 234. Therefore shall not this Authour perswade us That the Earthly Man in Sinne without the breaking of the outward Life doth wholly put on Christ inwardly and outwardly and that the sinfull outward Nature when Man entereth into Repentance doth wholly dye and Christ alone awake or arise and become generated inwardly and outwardly in Man 235. No! Christ is come to heal the Soar which Adam made when he instantly dyed to the Kingdome of Heaven in the Sinne-Bit viz to awaken or raise up the inward Man which disappeared in Adam and new generate it in him in his power and introduce the poore Soul again into a Divine Will and give it the Noble Jewell of the Holy Spirit again 236. And continually Crush or bruise the head of the Anger and falshood of the Old Serpent dwelling with its Will in the outward Flesh also continually slay the earthly Will till the earthly Adam dye altogether consume and enter into its Mystery in which God Created it to the Judgment of God there shall that give its Mystery to the * outward Image again viz the Third Principle and the whole Man as God Created him in Adam shall stand forth in CHRISTS Property and power again and live again in JEHOVA's Light and Power 237. For when Christ hath finished all Then shall he deliver up the Kingdome in the Regeneration to his Father again and God shall be ALL in ALL as he was before the Times of the World 238. The Authour erreth in this that he conceiteth That the Man who turneth himself to CHRIST wholly puts on Christ inwardly and outwardly and becometh wholly CHRIST and that the Nature of the Properties dyeth away There is no ground for this Christs Flesh became conceived in the Power of the Holy Spirit in Maryes Essence but our evill Flesh we receive from Adams sinfull Male or Masculine Seed in the Power or vertue of the two Tinctures of the Man and of the Woman 239. Christ saith That which is born of Flesh is flesh but that which is born of the Spirit that is spirit Flesh and Bloud shall not inherit the Kingdome of Heaven The Spirit is the Life the Flesh profiteth nothing it shall putrifie or rot and enter into its first Substance 240. The Spirituall Man according to the Kingdome of God which dyed in Adam but in the Repentant Sinner is regenerated in Christ that dwelleth in Heaven as St. Paul saith Our conversation is in Heaven from whence we expect the Saviour CHRIST who is the Life 241. His Mystery wherein the earthly Flesh of Sinne dwelleth that passeth into the beginning and expecteth the Saviour JESUS CHRIST to the Resurrection and Restoration into Life This is my apprehension and knowledge 242. I say rot that a Man in this Flesh is Perfect and doth put on Christ outwardly but the Mystery viz the Quintessence putteth on Christ to the Resurrection of the Dead and the Soul in the heavenly substantiality according to Christs true heavenly Corporeity awakeneth or ariseth as to ITS Substance which it had but dyed in Adam 243. Christ giveth US his Body to Eate and his Bloud to drink but NOT to the Man of Sinne but to the Man in CHRIST new Born to Life viz that from the Divine Worlds Substance to the Paradisicall Man which hath a Heavenly Mouth to partake with 244. For Christ dwelleth in Heaven and feedeth us with his Body and Bloud in the Heaven this Heaven is IN Man and not in the Four Elements as to their Operation but in the pure Element Christ feedeth the Body of his Similitude viz the Soul and the heavenly Part in the New born Man 245. Adam eateth of the four Elements and is fed with evill and good Adam the outward Flesh Man sinneth the inward Man willeth not the Sinne Therefore saith Paul Now if I sinne it is not I that doe it but it is the sinfull Desire which dwelleth in the flesh Now therefore with my Mind I serve God and with the flesh the Law of sinne for I doe that which I would not but if I now doe it it is not I that do it but sinne in the flesh 246. Therefore let the Christian Reader that loveth Truth be warned according to my very good bounden Duty and Love-Will not to esteem himself Perfect and to set himself in the Omnipotent Power or vertue of God in the Omniscience and to say He is without sinne and cannot sinne 247. O alasse the Poor Captive Soul in sinfull flesh can dayly Sinne for The Righteous falleth seaven times a Day Also Before thee no Living Man is Righteous if thou wilt impute sinne and he that saith he hath no sinne is a Lyar saith Saint John 248. This Authour erreth in almost all the highest Articles of Faith I therefore admonish you all wisely to consider Pray to God for understanding and continue in true Resignation and Humility before God and continually pray to God according to the Doctrine of Christ Forgive us our Sinnes 249. This Man will be without Guilt or fault he saith he is dead in Christ to the Guiltinesse and if it were at the best with him yet there lyeth the Guilt still in Adams sinfull flesh which according to Christs Doctrine shall not may not can not inherit the Kingdome of Heaven NOT the Husk of Sinne but the Mysterie shall remain for Ever THus is the true understanding upon the Text 1 Timothy 3. 16. sufficiently explained already also the Expositors erroneous Meaning Discovered but yet I will set down his own words here following for the Reader to Ponder The Second Text. 1 Tim. 3. 16. The Mysterie of Godlinesse is apparently great God is manifested in the Flesh first in Adam The Explainers Exposition 1. WHich Text as also the whole Epistle and ALL Writings of the Holy Apostles and Prophets when they illustrate and speak of the apparent Revelation and great Mystery of God can or may no way with Truth be understood applyed or signified Concerning the First created Adam 2. Seeing God in and with this holy Name the whole holy Trinity the whole Divine fullnesse from the least to the greatest with his holy Divine Saving apparent Revealed Great Mystery was not at all manifested in Adam before the Fall or appeared in him much lesse with his Divine fullnesse hath wrought livingly powerfully and actively IN him or dwelt or been implanted but Once and only in Christ the first
Principle or the Second Person in the Deity 15. When the fair Harmony in Adam became poysoned by the Devill so that the Souls Will-Spirit which should have been wholly resigned into Gods Love-voyce went forth out of GODS Harmony and Tang into the Harmony of the DEVIL and all Evill or Malice then the true Divine Lute-player departed from him For Adams Spirit went out from him 16. Now if Adam had been created and brought forth wholly in Christs Image and had been standing in the Harmony of Christ then were the Image of Eternity which God as this Authour conceiteth Generated in his Love-Mother from Eternity in him destroyed and had suffered it self to be overpowered by the Devill and then were the Devill stronger than God seeing he had destroyed Christs Image 17 O how were it possible that any thing should perish that were brought forth onely and solely out of the Image and will of the Love of God then must GOD perish 18. And though he would say the Body over-loaded or overswayed the Soul yet the Soul was breathed into Man out of the Mouth of God out of the Holy Spirit also it were much that God would Introduce an Earthly Man into the Image of the holinesse of God viz into CHRIST who was generated in the voyce of the Mother of the Love from Eternity out of God as he saith So he would indeed have had Divine holy Substance which the Debill had not been able to Sift 19. I beleeve we shall here leave the Author to his Conceit and must Say That God hath Created Man IN his own Image known of God without Substance into a Substance and Image according to Gods out-spoken and Created Substance as Moses saith To be Lord over all Creatures upon the Earth we shall not dare to set him into the Seat of the Deity 20. The Omniscience of MAN was never at all nor in Eternity ever will be for indeed no Throne Angell is Omniscient but all is indeed under God and a work of his Hands 21. When God manifested himself in and with the Serpent Crusher or Bruiser he said Iohn 3. None goeth to Heaven but the Son of Man who is come from Heaven and who is in Heaven It is an empty or void Point which the Authour mentioneth that Christ hath manifested himselfe in a totall pure Virgin immaculate or without blemish and Sinne. 22. He said he was come from HEAVEN and NOT out of his Image which perished as this Authour conceiteth and yet became Man in Maryes right humane Essence 23. Of which this Authour as is to be observed in his Omniscience and Deity knoweth nothing at all O that he would learn before-hand the Theosophick A. B. C. in the School of the Holy Spirit e're he give himself forth or professeth himself to be holy and Omniscient and were a while under Gods Harmony e're he would himself be Gods Lutenist There is for certain a Luciferian Pride under it 24. Observe loving Brother he cometh in Christs Name and wholly in his person try him Christ is gone to Heaven this is but a confused Man MARY was the daughter of Joachim and Anna according to Flesh Soul and Spirit shut up under the Law of Sinne and under the Fall of Adam and Eve 25. But in HER was the Limit or Mark of the Covenant which God had promised in Paradise understand in the faded Image of the heavenly substantiality in which Adam dyed to the Kingdom of Heaven that can receive NO Sinne for the Heaven of God is subjected under no Sinne. 26. When Lucifer perished in his Creature the Heaven spewed him out from it self The true Soul of Adam was the Life in the Heavenly Substantiality but when the Souls Will entred into the Earthly Substance viz into Evill and Good into Heat and Cold viz into the Center of Nature after sutlety and cunning then faded his heavenly substance wherein Gods Light shone and Gods Light remained standing in its selfe in its Principle 27. This Gods Love-Will Lamented that its similitude perished and promised Adam the Crusher or Bruiser of the Serpent out of the Seed of the Woman which had with the Limit or Mark of the Covenant here stuck or set it selfe in MARY 28. Not in the sinfull Flesh of Mary but in the faded Image which JESUS by his entrance would move and move himself in the Limit or Mark of the Covenant and open the CHRIST viz a New Life out of himself and out of this Limit or Mark of the Covenant of Promise in the faded Seed of Mary 29. So that the faded Substance in the power of the moving of JESUS in that this JESUS with his moving moved the divine wisdome and hidden power in it and gave this hidden Seed for a Life might become manifest and in Christ living again who was God and MAN in ONE Person to whom the outward Kingdome of our Flesh in the seed of MARY hung 30. WHEREIN he took upon him our Sins and Infirmities upon his Shoulders and querched them with the bloud of the now present New-borne heavenly Substantiality with the true Womans Seed and drowned the fierce wrath which became manifested in the center of Nature in the Soulish Property together with the disobedient Will and introduced it again into Gods Will. 31. And in this that God moved himselfe in the Seed of Mary in the shut up hiddennesse of the Humanity and manifested himself with his Love and conceived CHRIST in the Faded or disappeared Seed viz the Eternall Life in the still death Therefore is Mary become the blessed of all women 32. For that happened to None that God had moved himself in their right Seed that dyed and disappeared in Adam For here came the first Image again which Adam was in the Creation and God now gave to this Image which could not stand but dyed in Adam this Serpent Crusher or Bruiser out of JESUS or JEHOVA for an assistant that should Help the Soul to over-power the Anger of God and the Devill 33. JESUS hath with this CHRIST which he manifested out of his moving in the Seed of Mary and gave Life to the Seed not received the outward sinfull Seed of Mary into the Deity so that God is become manifested in the outward Seed of Mary 34. This proves it self in Christs Person that he on Earth in form or Shape condition and Outward Conversation and Flesh was like VS for the outward Flesh was mortall wherein he also slew death He took only the Inward Seed viz the disappeared which dyed in Adam wherein Gods Light shined 35. And in the JESU viz in Gods Love and wisdome he manifested the divine power and strength wherewith he would overcome the Anger of the Father and transmute or change IT into the divine Kingdome of Joy 36. But the Soulish and outward Fleshly Seed of Mary Wherein Sinne was hung to the inward disappeared Seed These mix not themselves also they are not
that offereth the Sacrifice of Righteousnesse which availeth before God but he that offereth offereth to him whom he would attone or Reconcile but if he himself be the Creator he cannot also be the Attonement or Reconciliation but he is The Mediatour between God and Man for God hath set him up to be a Throne of Grace but he that is set up is not the Throne it self but he bringeth his Gift viz the Prize or Spoil which he had gotten in the Battle of Gods Anger to the Throne 179. There say I Man was not at first Created in Christ as this Author will have it but the second time he is become generated in Christ The Name Christ was IN the Name JESUS in which Man was Created whose out-going was from Eternity 180. They are indeed one but the Authour bringeth forth strange matters under it a Man cannot admit that he should fold up all Creatures in the Name of CHRIST and will have the Redemption of ALL Creatures in the Name of Christ 181. It looks very strangely and yet a Man may well see what he meaneth thereby viz that HE would be the very ONE only Christ that men are to Hear as the Word of God whereas yet when he is at best he is scarce a little Twigg or Branch on that Tree not the Mother it selfe which hath generated and will generate I put not my trust in him but in the First Christ who in JESUS became a CHRIST whose Twig or Branch I desire to be 182. CHRIST was hidden in JESU and all powers of the wisdom lay in the hidden Christ which no Angels Tongue can expresse that revealed it self first of all when JEHOVA that is JESUS moved in the humanity there was CHRIST first Manifested In the first Adam was JEHOVA Manifested and in the second Adam CHRIST viz The Treasure of the Wisdome of God 183. The first Adam was created Perfect in JEHOVA and to Eternall Life viz in the Eternall Natural but being the Eternall Naturall would not stand then JEHOVA manifested Christ in the Naturall Life that Christ might generate and bring again the Natural into Perfection thus Christ hath with his Birth or Geniture opened the Treasures of wisdom that were in JEHOVA 184. Yet CHRIST was hidden in the Treasure of wisdom but the wisdom was in JEHOVA in the first Adam manifest but not after that manner as the Life breaketh the Anger in peeces for it was not necessary if Adam had remained standing but when he fell it was necessary that this Form should become Manifest 185. Even this Form is called CHRIST and dwelleth in the JEHOVA for out of the JEHOVA it is become Manifested Therefore being JEHOVA was manifest in Adam therefore was God manifested in him else it would follow that JEHOVA had Created Adam to Sinne that he might manifest the Treasures of wisdome in him which is Not so for God so farre as he is called God can NOT Will Evill 186. But if Adam in his Creation be wholly manifested in Christ as this Authour sets it down then with his entring into the humanity nothing New was performed the Crusher or Bruiser of the Serpent was first manifested in the Body or Womb of Mary Adam needed him not before the Fall but after the Fall he needed that 187. This Crusher or Bruiser of the serpent was CHRIST and no other he was generated out of IEHOVA that is out of IESU out from Eternity but in the Humanity after the Fall from Eternity he was in Gods Word viz in Gods voyce and in no Image manifested as this * Author writeth but after the Fall he became manifested in the Flesh then he was called CHRIST as viz a breaker through of death 188. For from Eternity was no Death but only a Fire-dying in which out of the dying the holy Life originateth but with Sinne it entered into the world into the Flesh with the Curse Death began in the world with Christ the Eternall Life came again for he brake death in peeces and therefore he is called Christ and not in the Creation 189. In Christ there is Nothing Created but in his power in the speaking Word all is Created in which his Name is called IEHOVA 190. In Christ man is New born or Regenerated but not Created into the Image therefore this Author erreth where he speaketh of the Mother Love of God 191. IEHOVA is the Generator of the Love and IESUS is IEHOVA who generateth the Love and CHRIST is become generated out of the Love in the Humanity for he was no CHRIST from Eternity but only the Love in IEHOVA in IESU 192. Sinne caused IEHOVA that he gave us the CHRIST out of the Love for in the Eternity will be no CHRIST but IEHOVA all in all the whole Humane Tree in IEHOVA 193. Not that the Person of Christ will Cease to be only the Killing or Mortifying of Sinne in which IEHOVA is called CHRIST is then Ceased The Creature remaineth but CHRIST is then the Eternall High-Priest in ALL and the Creature of CHRIST a King of Men. 194. NOw may the Reader Ask what is the strife or controversie in this place It is THIS The Author saith 12. CHRIST was the Image of God and was generated out of the Woman or Wife of God viz out of the Divine Voyce and Mother of the Love from Eternity to Gods expresse Image And that God hath visibly made and Created Adam and all Heavenly and Earthly Creatures in this Christ 13. That God hath been manifested only in Christ and not in Adam that Adam was Created and Manifested IN Christ And that in Christ was only manifested the Treasure of wisdome and accordingly he hath not at all manifested himself to Adam in the first Creation That Adam had no divine knowledge but should have been obedient IN Christ which he was not but let the Serpent betray or deceive him and so he followed the Devill and perished in Sinne with Soul and Body 14. That then Christ after this Fall manifested himself in him and became a Man and new generated the Humanity in ALL whatsoever it was inwardly and outwardly and made it Wholly to be Christ and God so that this Man Christ was in all things or substances like God the Holy Trinity in power and substance 15. And that all Men who beleeve on this Christ do become all like this one only CHRIST That they instantly dye away as to Nature and they become in Soul and Body this one onely CHRIST who is indeed God and Man in ONE onely Person 16. And like the Holy Trinity in Will knowledge power or vertue and substance and in all Divine Properties Eternal Unchangeable Immortal Perfect without any ONE Sinful thought as we are to be and must be Eternally 17. And in that regard that he in Christ is wholly Perfect and immortall and is changed from Death to the Eternall Life in Christ in and to all that whatsoever Man inwardly
Sal and manifested that in Venus'es Matrix 52. Understand from Adam was taken his faire Rose garden of the great Lust Desire or Pleasure of the Kingdom of Joy viz the Lights Tincture according to the Property of the Love-desire And according to the bodily substance the Property of the Spirituall Water which in the Love-desire becometh generated through the Fire and is the Fires or Souls-Spirits greatest refreshment in which the Fire-spirit had impregnated it self in Substance and generated its Similitude viz in the Love-desire 53. This Venus Mother became figured into a Wife or Woman and in Adam remained the Fires Mother which continually introduceth its hunger into the Venus Mother in like manner also the Venus Mother into the Fires Mother viz into its Father and Man or Husband which giveth it Essence and Life 54. In which Conjunction the PERFECTION of the Kingdom of Joy standeth and the fulfilling of the desire which should damp and hold Captive the Lust of Vanity out of the Center of the Impression according to the dark worlds property and onely refresh it self in the Love viz in the Kingdome of Joy 55. This Love-sport or Scene of both the Tinctures of Fire and Light were divided in Adam in his Sleep for God parted them in the Fiat and here Adam lost his chast Love-sport and his Virginity which CHRIST brought to him again and in the place of his Rib for a Wife where he became broken must Longinus'es Spear enter and the Regenerate Virgin-like bloud must Tincture this Breach and heal and make it whole again and quench the wrath which was in the Breach 56. Thus we understand what the Woman or Wife is viz A halfe Adam Adam hath in the Superiour might the first Principle and Eve the second In Adams part the vanity became first manifest viz in the Center to the Fire 57. Which Fires-desire entered into the Venus desire and in the Lust became manifested in the Substance in which the propagation was therefore God in Paradise promised to enter again into the Seed of the Woman and with the new generated Love-desire to break the Head of the Serpents desire which was existed out of the Center to the Fire-Life 58. That is to overcome IT with the great Love to go it self into the abomination viz into the Womans Seed which the abomination in Venus'es Matrix hath poysoned and introduced into false or wicked Lust and to break that very will which against Gods holinesse and purity went into own self and turn it again into the Love-desire 59. And here when Adam was divided and the Divine might or power slept he together with his Wife with his Pleasure-Garden was ordained into the outward Life for the divine understanding was in him faded 60. For he was gone forth from the Divine Love-Fire with his desire into the self-hood after the vanity viz after the Manifestation of Nature after Art and much knowing THAT he gat also but he lost thereby the knowledge of the DIVINE Kingdome of Joy 61. He was yet indeed in Paradise with his Eve when the Spirit of the outward World awakened to him but in the Lust of the vanity together with his Eve to which the Devill afterwards gave him more cause at the Tree of Temptation as is above mentioned 62. Adam Slept in the Divine world and awaked to the outward world and with the Earthly Eating of the Tree of Temptation which was Evill and good the vanity in the Substance of the Flesh fully awaked for there began the Properties of the abomination in the Center of Nature to qualifie or opperate as a seething 63. Now was Heat and Cold moreover bitter sweet and sowre and all whatsoever is manifested in the Dominion of the Starres and the Elements manifested also in him The Sulphur and Mercury became manifest and stirring in vanity of the Poyson-Life of which now the Souls Spirit in Adam and Eve was ashamed when they saw that they in their self-hood stood in such misery and that Heat and Cold pressed upon them 64. And when God called them again with the voyce of Grace Adam said I am naked and am afraid But God said who hath told thee that thou art naked hast thou not eaten of the Tree which I forbad thee and he said the Woman gave me and I did eat and the Woman said the Serpent beguiled me 65. Here now lyeth the whole forementioned matter or Substance how it came to passe for the Lust stood in Adam and was in the Love-Desire in the Fiat become introduced into Substance in which Adam had the Birth standing that was divided from him and now began that very abomination of false or wicked Desire in the Woman to lust and raised fully the whole work up to Sinne and abomination against Gods holinesse 66. And this is the very abomination before God that the Lifes Forms are gone out from the equall agreement every one into the Manifestation of IT self whence in the Life contention viz rising up of Pride as also Covetousnesse Envy Anger and false or wicked suttlety existeth 67. So that every Forme knoweth it self in the self-hood and is Manifest to it self whence Man viz the Flesh in this opposite Strife is introduced into Sicknesse woe pain and corruption 68. For in the equall agreement NO Corruption can be for all Wills of the Lifes Forms are but One only Substance they goe in one equall harmony every property is the good relish and love-desire to the other but in the inequality or disagreement there is meer Enmity not at all willing in its property to hear see smell tast and feel 69. In these Five Senses standeth the Enmity of the Life wherein there is nothing but meer strife in respect of the inequality or disagreement and disharmony which the sound viz the Voyce of God receiveth not or suffereth not to come into it self unlesse the multiplicity of the Wills let their right or propriety goe and sink down again totally in resignation into Gods Mercy 70. As Christ saith Vnlesse ye convert and become as Children which know of no falshood or wickednesse ye shall not not inherite the Kingdome of Heaven Also ye must be born anew That is this Will of falshood and vanity must totally break and a new spring forth which willeth the falshood or wickednesse no more else there is no blessednesse or Salvation 71. And therefore must the Flesh totally Dye and corrupt wherein the abomination and the vanity lyeth in the Substance and goe again to the Limit where it originally existed in Adam to a new Revelation or Manifestation 72. Now we are to weigh the Propagation of Man the humane body is become earthly for the vanity out of which the earth became generated is awakened in it and hath swallowed up the holy heavenly Substance into it self 73. For the true Love-Spirit departed in the Curse of the Earth from Man when the vanity awakened then God Cursed the Earth
such an Example as that of Moses and David 112. Therefore a Man cannot say that the Spirit of Christ promoteth it and driveth it on and intoduceth it self into the burning or ardent Imagination Christ therefore became a Man without the help or Co-working or concurrence of any Man or Husband that he might bring us forth out of this abomination before God through his holy Incarnation or Becoming Man he became such a Virgin-like Child with both the Tinctures one in another with own self-Love that he might bring our Rent in himself into ONE 113. And this is the abomination in the Marriage work that the Seed is unclean in the Conjunction of both the Tinctures when they are brought together into One it is the Property of the Eternall Joyfullnesse viz of the highest desiring and fulfilling if that might be done without abomination THEN it were holy 114. But the Sulphur of the Seed is an abomination before the Holinesse The Elevation of the Naturall Lifes Forms where the Forms of Nature lift up themselves in self-hood they lye in the Seeds and are kindled in Gods Anger viz in the abomination of the dark world through the Devils Imagination 115. Therefore this impure Sulphur out of which the Tinctures in the Fire Life viz in the Fiery Tincture become generated is an abomination before Gods holinesse and therefore must also this Sulphur with the abomination totally corrupt or break in peeces and go again into the beginning of the Creation 116. And though it be so that the Word of the LORD Verbum Domini intermixeth it self together in the Holy People that is done according to the inward Man where the Divine Sparkle is propagated in the Image of God in the Heavenly Substantiality 117. For the Word of the Deity in the Spirit of Christ dwelleth in Heaven and the right true Image created from the Divine worlds Substance which in Adam dyed and faded is the Heaven's Substance into which NO abomination CAN Enter for the Holy Spirit receiveth not that 118. The Spirit of Christ possesseth and manifesteth it selfe in HIS Tents and not in the beastial Conjunction of the Abominations of Sinne It is not in the power of the Imagination of the Flesh but in the pure Love-desire of Chastity and Faithfullnesse where TWO joyn their Minds together in the Marriage Band and give up their Love and faithfullnesse one to another to be their own and desire to be ONE Heart and Will 119. There the Spirit of Christ is the Love-band and here now is rightly that thing Increase or Multiply and be fruitfull God said to Adam and Eve they should multiply themselves in their Marriage Band. 120. He saith not HE would do it with the promised Crusher or Bruiser of the Serpent but he gave them the power of the Naturall Man but the Holy Spiritual Birth or Geniture he promoteth in his own Principle and not in the perished corrupt Flesh not in the Imagination of Lust which is more Beastiall than truly Humane 121. Indeed he bringeth holy children together but by the means of his Officer Nature how he will have it but the marriage work according to the outward Man is not Holy but according to the inward it is holy in the children of the Saints and Not in Beastiall Vessels 122. But that this Authour sets it down That through this Conjunction of Man and Wife in their Lust-desire the Evill Properties and Lust of the Flesh are separated asunder and totally sanctified in the Spirit of Christ the Love-Spirit of Christ mixeth it self in their Imagination and driveth on all Abominations and worketh in the Imagination this Lust of the Man and Woman and sanctifieth the Imagination and the Seed sinne dyeth and a totall holy child becometh conceived viz a Christ little Child or Infant that is without blemish and Sinne moreover God and Man outwardly and inwardly 123. And this he speaketh as one that understandeth nothing of the Mystery of CHRIST and takes upon him freely as a Saint of his own making a self elected one without power who knoweth not his beastial abomination and Filth 124. He will make Christ to be OUTWARDLY and yet Christ himself saith His Kingdom was not of this World after his appointed work was accomplished he went to Heaven and in the Heaven which is IN us he dwelleth with us and worketh in that very Heaven in us and not at all in the Beastial Man in the fleshly birth in which Death is 125. It is a meer fiction whereby young people which are very eager and fiery in Venus'es desire are made altogether wanton and Luxurious when it is so finely pourtrayed before them that their desire and Lust is Christs driving and that it is the Spirit of Christ which would mix it selfe and beget Children 126. When he conversed upon the Earth HE never desired to mixe himself but only in the Spirit in the Soul and in the Image of God will he then now mixe himself in the beastial outward Work we have NO testimony for that 127. In David was also the Spirit of God should therefore the Spirit of God have mixed it self in his outward whoredom and have driven on the work of the outward Imagination towards Bathsheba the Wife of Vriah whom he murthered then God would have had the whoredome to have been 128. No! God punished David for that very fact therefore men should not say the Spirit of Christ mixeth it self in the Center of the Imagination of fleshly Lust and sanctifieth the outward Seed it is altogether false 129. He sanctifieth his Tabernacles which he possesseth he indeed openeth and shutteth in the work of the Life so that the Mercury viz the Work master cannot many times bring his work to Life and also many times bringeth it to Life according to Gods will as in many times to be seen among the Saints of Old especially in the Line of Christ but men should distinguish the outward from the Inward 130. The Marriage work in it self if it Be done Ordinately is not sinfull for it is driven on by Gods Officer Nature and boarn withall under divine patience 131. God sets before him the Becoming Man or Incarnation of Christ his Sonne as among the Jewes the Sacrifices which God set before him in the Covenant through the future Humanity and reconciled himself in the Covenant that the Anger might not burn in the humane Abomination 132. Thus also in the outward Marriage work God sets before him the true Image which lyeth shut up in our Seed in Christ his Sonne and entereth in the working power into the Substance of that Image of the Heavenly Substantiality as a Glimmering Mother or Tinder of divine Property and herein lyeth the holinesse of the holy marryed peoples Children 133. But in the outward Flesh as also in the Soul the Abomination of Sinne cleaveth to them and so NO child is born into the world without Sinne The will to the outward work of
