Fire-Spirit which also goeth forward after the Wonders in the Will of the seeking of the Essences as of the Stars and therefore it maketh a whirling about and cometh from many places as from above from beneath from this side and that side and often as a Wheel all according as the Fire-seeking with the Essences of the Stars become kindled 120. And this is together as a wheel of the Mind and hath its own Will-Spirit and an Own Self-Life and an own Will and therefore it is a Principle and standeth so long till the End-findeth the Beginning then the Beginning taketh the End into it self and maketh the Middle and whatsoever was done therein manifest or revealed as you should and will well consider of this unless you be foolish Virgins 121. Also this Dominion standeth no longer then it is in the Number of the Creation for every Day of the Creation is a Circle of a Revolution in the Eye and hath its Number whereof Ten is the Cross X the highest Number and Man hath the Number Ten 10 times Ten viz. A hundred 100. and in the Crown of Paradise the number Thousand 1000. and in the eternal Substantiality in the Divine Center of the Majesty it hath No Number O. 122. Now see aright with good clear eyes God created in six Dayes this World with all Substances or Things and it was finished in the middle of the Sixth Day past Noon towards Evening then began the Rest on the Sixth Day and the Sabbath was the Seventh Day Thus the Eternal Rest found the Beginning of the Creation on the Sixth Day after Noon that was the End there came the Beginning and End together into one and it was manifested what God had made in the Dayes 123. Now since Man hath destroyed the Angelical Body through his Imagination and hath introduced it into a corruptible Number viz. into the Outward Principle therefore he is also therein for he hath lost the Paradisical Number and is set in the hundreth 100 Number where indeed also in the Outward Life his Leader or Conducter is given to him that is he hath given himself to himself therefore his Number of finishing in the Circle of the outward Principle is clearly apprehensible to us 124. If we fundamentally know the Hour of the Sixth Day in which the Creation was finished we would set you down the Year and Day understand of the last Day for it stayeth not one Minute over it hath its Limit which standeth hidden in the Inward Circle 125. Therefore know assuredly that the time is near for in the sixth Day afternoon began the Rest of the Eternal Day and therefore hath God instituted the Sabbath of the Seventh Day for a Rest and continual perpetual Remembrance 126. And as on the Sixth Day towards Evening began the Rest and the entrance of the Revelation of the Works of the Creation where the End hath received the Beginning in again and so the Six Dayes in the Circle have stood as a Wonder So know this that ye were created in Paradise but are gone out of it and entered into the Spirit of the fierce wrathfull Death which hath now wrought its Wonders in you above the half sixt thousand year above 5500 years 127. And now the End hath found the Beginning again and ye shall see also feel and find what the Paradise hath been viz. all those that become generated or born in God 128. For the Paradise is become generated or born again thus spoken after the manner of Reason and not in God but ye cannot escape mortality also the fierce wrath in the Flesh but in the Mind and in the Soul the Paradise standeth now more and more manifested or revealed to the Children of God and they have the right taste of the Power 129. And no Craft or Subtilty nor Might and Power can keep it back no Subtilty can take it away or quench it nor no Devil destroy it for the End hath found the Beginning there is no preventing of it the Might or Power and Falshood breaketh and there is moreover a waiting for the Bridegroom for the Children of God shall become found in Paradise when the Turba in the fierce wrath shall be swallowed up We speak what we dearly and pretiously apprehend and assuredly know in the Wonders 130. Thus as above-mentioned understand us aright there is generated out of the fierce wrath of the Anger out of the Eternal Center out of which this World is become generated and created as a seeking of the Eternal in the Spirit of this World in this Principle wherein we now live and there will continually be generated Falshood Covetousness Craft or cunning Subtilty Deceit Enmity in the will Lying Murder High-mindedness desire of Honour own Self-might and power Art Wit the VVisdom of this World proceeding from Reason for all is out of this Root and standeth in Gods Anger-Wonders And how sine soever Reason and own self-Self-wit is yet it is in the Anger of God and springeth out of the Abysse 131. Here behold thy self thou fair World it is no conjecture as thou holdst it to be it is apprehended in Ternario sancto in the holy Ternary or Number Three And they that cannot reach this Gole or Limit are captivated of Antichrist and belong at last to this Lake out of which they are grown there is no time more of lingring both Doors or Gates stand open the Turba will swallow up with it self whatsoever is grown up in it 132. Thus now observe us further concerning the Eternal Fire and take a similitude from all fire in this world for what is in the Eternity a Spirit that is in this world a Substance Thus ye see that Fire in it self is an anguishing fierce wrathful climing up bitter substance and source or fountain-quality and yet ye see in the Fires own Form nothing else but the flash of the shining the source or fountain quality of heat ye see not you must only feel that 133. Now ye see also that the burning Fire sendeth a Smoke up from it and in the Smoke is a Water whence Soot cometh to be which cleaves to the wall especially if the fire be closed in that it is not free then is the Soot manifest as in a Furnace this is Soot and Water mixed one in another by which understand the Material Earth out of the Eternal Fire which Lucifer kindled where then in the fierce wrath Time began and the Creation proceeded as in the Third Part is mentioned 134. Now understand the Great Mystery Mysterium Magnum further ye see that every fire giveth light and then ye see that Air goeth forth out of the Fire-source or Quality and ye understand very well that if the fire had not Air again it would smother or go out as all fires smother if they have not Air and yet they also generate Air the Air is the Fires life which originateth out of the anxious bitter stirring Source or

What and where Paradise is with its Inhabitants 40. Whether it be mutable and what it will come to be hereafter The PREFACE of J. B. to Dr. Belthasar Walter BEloved Sir and my good Friend it is not possible for Reason to answer to your Questions for they are the greatest Mysteries which are alone known to God 2. For as Daniel faith to King Nebuchadnezzar That which the King asketh and desireth of the Learned Chaldeans Astrologians and Wise men is not in their power only the God of Heaven can reveal or manifest the hidden Thing It is not in my Reason to answer the King but that the King may perceive the Thoughts of his heart God hath revealed it not that my Reason is greater than of all them that live 3. So say I also to you you shall be answered not that my Reason is greater than of all them that live but that you might perceive and obtain the thoughts of your heart your earnest seeking and desiring it is given to me to answer you 4. And you should not in such a way so eagerly seek after such things for it standeth in no outward Reason but to the Spirit of God nothing is impossible and seeing we are the Children of God and in Christ born again in God surely the Son must needs see very well what the Father doth in his house's and also learn his skill and work 5. And seeing we our selves are the Mysteries of God shall we not so much as look upon them as if we ought not to meddle with such Mysteries as Antichrist in folly forbiddeth us for none apprehendeth any thing of God's Mysteries unless it be given to him
filling for it hath nothing whereby it can defend it self but the Desiring 40. And here originateth the Eternal Enmity and opposite Will The Will willeth not to be dark and yet its desiring maketh it dark it endureth the stirring readily for it is its manifestation or revelation but the in drawing and darkning it doth not love though indeed the Will becometh not drawen nor darkned but the Desiring in the Will impregnateth it self 41. But now being the Desiring sticketh in the darkness therefore there is a great Anguish for it becometh stirred and drawn and also darkned and vexeth it self in it self and desireth the Liberty and draweth so eagerly after the Liberty and willeth to draw it self into the Liberty and yet maketh it self onely the more eager rough and hard and is like a horrible sharpness which is consuming viz. of the Darkness 42. For it graspeth the Liberty into it self but is so sharp that it appeareth in the Liberty as a flash of lightning which consumeth the darkness together with the eagerness Therefore saith God I am a consuming Fire 43. Here understand how all Matter standeth in the right Fires Might and how the Floar shall once be purged for that is the original of the Fire which hath ALL Might and Power for it consumeth whatsoever the desire hath made be it Stone or Earth for it is the sharpness of the Eternal Liberty and giveth or affordeth Centrum Naturae the Center of Nature 44. But that you may search yet deeper know that the Fire in it self originally standeth in Three Forms viz. First In the Desiring And then secondly in the Matter of that which is attracted viz. in the Darkness in which is Substantiality from the attracting And Thirdly In the Anguish-source or Pain The Fourth Form 45. And the Fourth Form maketh it self viz. the Flash of Lightning for the Liberty causeth that and that is the kindler of the Anguish-source for the Desiring in the Darkness willeth only to have the Liberty and the Liberty being a light without shining is therefore like a very deep Blew Colour mixed with Green so that it cannot be discerned plainly what colour it is of for all Colours are in it and the Desiring in it self in its eager anguish and sharpness breaketh the colours and maketh in it self the terrible consuming Flash of Lightning and changeth it according to the Anguish so that it becometh Red. 46. Yet the Liberty in the Desiring suffereth not it self to be bound or held but altereth it self from the Red flash of Lightening in the Light into a glance of the Majesty and that is in the Liberty an exulting great Joy 47. For in the Light the Eye becometh manifested or revealed as also the Substantiality in the Will where then it becometh apprehended what Light or Darkness is And thus the Eternity becometh apprehended And thus originateth God's Holiness into wonders continually evermore and from Eternity and hath neither limit nor beginning for it is an Eternal Beginning comprised and framed into Nothing but into the Wonders which are its own substance wherein there is neither limit nor number 48. And thus in the still Eternity is nothing apprehended but the glance of the Majesty and the Spirit which is generated in the Will and is the Government in the Majesty 49. Beloved Sir and Friend understand the sence aright we mean not that the Birth or Geniture taketh hold of the Liberty externally without it self but in it self in the Center it taketh hold of it self in it self and maketh Majesty in it self and yet there is no barring in but is as when out of Death or Nothing a life cometh to be that thus dwelleth only in it self and that is called a Principle and that wherein it dwelleth is called Nature and hath Seven Spirits or Forms as is to be seen in our Second and Third Book 50. Yet the Principle hath but one Spirit which is the life of the Principle and hath also but one Will which is the filling of the Eternity with the glance of the Majesty 51. For the Principle is the power or vertue generated out of the will of the Eternity and the entrance or eternal beginning of the Power is the Powers Life and Spirit which bringeth the Essences of the Genetrix and openeth the Original of the Majesty 52. And the whole Eye which hath thus comprised or framed it self into a Looking-Glass in the A and O is ALL it is the Eternity and bringeth forth in it self in the Eye the Majesty which is the heart and power or vertue of the Eye and also bringeth forth the Spirit which in the heart goeth forth out of the Power out of the fiery-light-flaming Essences 53. Thus you understand the holy Number Three in one Substance that the Father is the Eternity without ground where is NOTHING and yet there is ALL and in the Eye of his glance or lustre he seeth himself that he is All and in the Power of the Majesty he feeleth himself and tasteth himself and smelleth himself that he is GUT GOOD that is that he is GOTT GOD although the T viz. Weightiness originateth in the Center 54. And in the Spirit is the stirring in the Power and the Multiplicity without ground and number wherein an eternal unsearchable Multiplicity doth exist and all in the Power 55. For that which hath no ground hath no number and is no closing up or comprehension or shutting in and that which is within it self is not apprehensible out of it self but as to the Spirit it is feeling indeed Thus the Inward driveth forth out of it self and manifesteth or revealeth it self in Figures else God would NOT be known or apprehended 56. Thus God is together ONE Spirit and standeth from Eternity in THREE Beginnings and Ends and only in himself There is no place found for Him and he hath also nothing in himself that is like unto Him also there is Nothing that can seek or manifest any thing more than HIS Spirit which alwayes it self from Eternity in Eternity manifests it Self 57. He is an Eternal Seeker and Finder as viz. of himself in great Wonders and what he findeth he findeth in the great Power he is the opening of the Power nothing is like unto Him and nothing findeth him but what inclineth or giveth it self up in him that goeth into him that which denyeth it self that it is then is God's Spirit therein ALL for it is A will in the eternal NOTHING and yet is in ALL as God's Spirit it self is 58. And this My beloved Sir is the Highest Mystery and therefore if you will find this seek it not in me but in your self but not in your Reason that must be as dead and your desirous will in GOD and so it is the will and deed in you and so the Spirit of God bringeth your will into it self and so you may well see what GOD is and what Spirits
child this Hand is out of which Spirit it writeth 59. And I exhort you brotherly that you would not so toylsomely seek it you will not fathom it so with searching although you are known and beloved of God and therefore also this is given you for a Rule or Measuring-line 60. Yet I have no power without me to give you only follow my advice and go out from your toylsome seeking in Reason into God's Will into God's Spirit and cast the outward Reason away then is your Will God's Will and God's Spirit will seek you within you 61. And then finding your Will in it self it revealeth it self in your Will as in its own for if you give up that then that is its own for it is All and when it goeth then go you forth for you have divine Power all which you then search IT is there IN and nothing is hidden to it thus you see in its Light and are its own 62. Let no fear deterre you there is nothing can take it away but Your Imagination let not that into your Will and then you will work God's Wonders in his Spirit and acknowledge me as a Brother in him else I shall be as one silent or mute to you I say this of good will 63. And since we thus write of the Eternity to satisfie you at length in your will and desire concerning the Soul which is even our purpose in God's Spirit and Will we will first clearly shew you the Ground of the Soul also its Original and so open your Eyes that you may be released from your toylsome seeking 64. For you have even to your Old age laboured in this kind and as I understand have not yet found out the profound deep Mystery in the Spirit but seeing it is God's Will that you should know and apprehend it and that it is given to you as a reward of your labour see that you receive it and use it aright and cast not the Pearl before Swine which are not worthy of it also in Eternity will not be worthy of it 65. For that which is herein revealed unto you belongeth unto God's Children therefore be faithful and trade with it according to the Spirit and not according to Reason 66. For it is so subtile that it endureth not that which is earthy generated in Covetousness Pride or vain boasting and glorying in self although you are one of them yet look into whom you pour Oyl for it is Poyson to many let themselves seek as you have done but give the Children their bread that they may eat and praise Our Father in Heaven to that end it is given you The Fifth Form of Fire in the Eternal Will 67. Thus having opened to you an Entranoe and Looking-glass of the Eternal Original whence the Eternal Fire originateth and what it is so it is necessary also further to shew you according to the highest Depth what the Eternal Nature in its propagation is 68. Wherein then Two Kingdoms are to be understood the one a good and pleasant one the other an evil and fierce wrathful one an eternal envious sad one After which two the Philosophers from the beginning of the world have continually sought and laboured but the time of finding hath not been yet born 69. But now it is so that the hidden thing shall be found not by me alone but by many who will be faithful and humble themselves in God and seek in his Spirit and Will It will only be found in God's Eye else no where therefore let none enter into any other thing with seeking else he findeth the Devil 70. Seeing then the Eternity is thus which yet is NOTHING but therein is Light and Darkness Life and Spirit which is ALL therefore there is and must be in both a seeking viz. a desiring continually to find it self where yet there is nothing that can find but the Spirit 71. Now seeing it hath nothing that it findeth and yet also the Desiring eternally goeth forward therefore the Desiring is a figure of the seeking Will a similitude according to God's Eye and is a Looking-glass of the Eternal Eye which is called God 72. Now this is in Two wayes one according to the Light and one according to the Darkness for the Seeking is in both and yet there is no departing of one from the other thus the Light is in the inward and the Darkness in the outward whereas yet the most inward of all is also the most outward but the Light is the middlemost 73. For it is in nothing therefore it cannot be the innermost of all for it hath no place or limit it is its own finding which the Darkness findeth not but the will in the Darkness which desireth the Light that goeth forth out of the Darkness and that standeth Eternally in the Light 74. Now the Light 's desiring setteth before it self a Model of its likeness wherein the Eternity standeth revealed or manifested viz. all and every thing which the Spirit in the Eternal Power of God from Eternity in Eternity findeth in it self 75. That Model is not God the Eternity it self for it beginneth it self in the Spirit and is the Spirits wonder which it from Eternity seeketh and findeth and standeth in Gods Eye as a Figure and all Wonders of the Abysse of Eternity are therein and become seen in the Light of the Majesty as one Wonder in many endless Wonders 76. And that is an Image of God a Virgin full of purity and chastity and no Genetrix for the holy Spirit alone openeth the Wonders in the Power 77. But this Virgin is God's Similitude his Wisdom wherein the Spirit discerneth it self and alwayes and in Eternity openeth it self therein again and the more is opened the more is therein 78. For it is without Ground and Number as also unmeasurable as the Eye of God it self is there is Nothing like it also Nothing can be found that may be likened to it for it is the Eternal Similitude of the Deity and the Spirit of God is its substance therein 79. It is a Circle and Model which openeth to us our mind so that we behold it and God IN it for our will is cast into it and it standeth in our will and therefore speak we of God and see him in himself as in that which is our own according to the hiddenness of the Humanity which Seeing is very highly dear and pretious 80. Thus we should also speak as concerning the Darkness which is in it self a bolting in and there being nothing to bolt it bolteth it self and generateth it self and is its own Enemy to it self for it maketh its own source or pain without Ground and Number and hath no Giver that bestoweth it but the Darknesse's own Form 81. And that originateth from the First Desiring where the Desiring attracteth into it self and impregnateth it self so that it is a stinging bitter astringent or harsh hard cold fierce wrathful fire-spirit for the Desiring
Mystery which with the Magia viz. with the Desire introduceth it self into the fierce Wrath where then the strong loud-sounding life and strength is understood in the entrance of Nature in the first Three Forms viz. the astringent bitter and anguish as the word Wrath standeth in the space under the Line Number 18. signifying that the fierce Wrath doth not touch the Angle or Point of the Number Three but is generated or born in the Desire Craft Numb 19. 187. Under the word Omnipotence Number 19. standeth Craft signifying the Essence out of the Looking-Glass of the Mystery which Craft or Suttlety in the second Principle is changed into a right or rectified understanding and here in the Magick Fire it is only Craft or cunning Suttlety for it is accute or pointed and sharp and a cause of the Understanding Devil Numb 20. 188. Over against it standeth Devil Number 20. in the space of the Dark World signifying the evilness malignity or malice of the Devil in that he is gone away from the Angle or Point of the Number Three and hath set or put his will into the fierce Wrath Craft or Suttlety in willing therewith to rule or lord it over God's Meekness and himself to use the strength and might or potency of the Fire and of the Fierce-wrath Devils Art Numb 21 22. 189. Under the word Craft standeth Devils Art Number 21 22. Devils standeth without the Circle of Nature and Art standeth within the Circle of Nature signifying that the Devil was created as well out of the Mystery of the Father upon the Line or Stroak of the Cross in the Eternal Nature as the other Angels But he hath framed or created to himself his Art Number 22. in the magick seeking of Nature in the Center of the dark World whereas yet he should have gotten framed or created it in God's Heart and Power or Vertue and that is his Cause of his Fall and of his Envy or Hatred and Malice Will Numb 23. 190. Above the Line Number 23. standeth Will signifying that the Devil hath hath swung himself aloft above the Divine Line upon or in which he was created as a proud or haughty stately Spirit that would himself have been Lord and have governed in own Self Art and Wit Darkness Numb 24. 191. As now at present the pride or state and haughtiness and cunning suttle Policy and Prudence of Men doth which swingeth it self also thus from the Line of God up into own self wherein it cannot reach or attain the Divine Power or Vertue and Light within but falleth in it self into the Dark anguishing Magick Fire as above the word Will is marked Number 24. First into Darkness for Reason loseth the Divine Understanding and Desire wherein it can take hold of and receive God's Substance and so impregnate it self with Power and Vertue out of or from God Fire Numb 25. 192. And then the Magick Fire of Covetousness kindleth it self in that it willeth to have much and yet hath not enough as here Number 25. Anguish Numb 26. 193. And when it hath filled it self with Covetousness then beginneth the Magick Fire in the Anguish Number 26. to burn For that which is brought in by the Covetousness and laden the fire with is the Magick Fires wood or fewel wherein it burneth and there is Death generated or born which must separate what the Covetousness hath laid in Death Numb 27. 194. And here is also the heavy Fall of Adam who imagined as the Devil did and desired the multiplicity of this world for his own he would be wise or suttle and prudent and get much Wit or crafty Ingenuity and also the earthly hellish source or fountain quality in the wit Had he remained upon the Stroak or Arm in God's Line then he had not become earthly for his will-spirit had dwelt in God and had introduced Divine food into the Body but now he standeth in the Anguish Number 26 and must again go through the Principle into Death Number 27 where his Body must in the Mystery be consumed 195. And if he hath not in this time converted his will into the Cross of Christ as in this Figure is to be seen then is he in the Mystery reserved to the Judgement of God and there he shall be tryed in the Fire whether his will-spirit hath Divine Power and Vertue in it or not or whether he can subsist in the Fire And there the proud stately or haughty earthly works will be burned away from him and the soul will remain in the dark Magick Will-Fire for it self is also a Magick Fire when the Divine Light-Fire is not in it and so now one Magick Fire layeth hold of another out of which there is no remedy to help Will Numb 28. Light Numb 29. Spirit Numb 30. Man Numb 31. 196. But that Soul which hath in this time converted again and hath with its will given up it self into the Death of Christ on the Line of the Cross Number 27. that soul is sunk down from its proud or haughty evil works and is as to them will-less or free from willing and is entered into the Death of Christ and sprouteth forth with the Will-spirit Number 28. through the second Principle in the Divine Power and Vertue out of the Death of Christ where then the Will-Spirit viz. the Image attaineth again the Divine Light Number 29. and the Image standeth Number 30. again in the Divine Man Number 31. Image Numb 32. God Numb 33. 197. For when the Will Spirit entereth into Death upon the Cross then it draweth again Divine Substantiality viz. Christ's Flesh to it self and bringeth the same with it self into the Light into the Light world there the Divine Life sprouteth again into the holy Body and the Image standeth free again As here Number 32. is to be seen and dwelleth in God Number 33. and eateth of God's Word or Substance for the Image is here without or beyond Nature in the Liberty but the Humanity is within Nature as is described 198. But as to those Souls which stick in their proud or stately and haughty covetous Works in the Anguish Number 26. they stick indeed in the Magick Anguish-Fire and their works are wood or fuel to or for the Fire 199. But if the Will-spirit do yet turn in it self a little into the Death of Christ and yet also is fast bound to the fierce Wrath that soul hangeth as by a thred to the Death of Christ The Ninth Number Numb 34. 200. This Soul may well thus burn a while till the Will-Spirit can enter into the Death of Christ till its sydereal wood or fuel be burned up when the earthly body dyeth then must the Image bathe which the present too wise and subtle world contemneth but in Death doth find it by woful experience There must this little sparkle which hangeth only by a thred wind it self into the Death
this Plant in the Highness and Exaltation of the world for you cannot you are a Mystery to them The Spirit it self seeketh the Beginning look to it flatter none for the Beginning is Paradisical that the impure come not into the pure and at last the Serpent beguile Eve again 299. Let there be no fair gloss in you but speak roundly or sincerely with your Mouth with Yea and Nay also fear not for that which is Eternal remaineth standing and it is only the filth and vanity that causeth that the Turba together insinuateth it self as a breaker or corrupter have a care of that for the Old Serpent is suttle that ye may be pure in the Beginning and in the End 300. For this work suffereth not much Glossing upon it hath a clear ground also it belongeth not to the Turba but in and to the Beginning of the Clarity or bright Transfiguration or Glory Therefore take heed of those who are born or become of a wolfish disposition whose Spirit is a suttle Serpent this we speak out of Good will towards you 301. Every thing that beginneth it self is sought of the Beginning for the Beginning seeketh through the Deep and willeth to find the ground If now the Beginning do find the ground that there be a limit in a Thing then the Beginning slips into the limit and leaveth or forsaketh the first and seeketh further so long till it findeth the Abyss and there it must stand in it self and can go no further for there is nothing more 302. But if the first be forsaken of the Beginning then it is fallen home to the Turba which breaketh it and maketh it again what it was in the Beginning 303. And then if the Thing be broken then the Turba standeth naked without a Body and it self also seeketh it self and findeth it self but without Substance and then it entereth into it self and seeketh it self even in the Abyss and then the first Eye becometh found out of which it became generated 304. But being it is bare and raw without Substance therefore it is put back or home to the Fire for it putteth it self therein and is in the Fire a Desiring viz. to seek its Body again and so the Fire of the Original becometh awakened 305. And hereby apprehend we the last Judgement in the Fire and the Resurrection of the Flesh for the Turba in the Fire is desirous of the Body which it hath had but was broken in the limit and its desiring was the Bodies Life viz. the Soul 306. Therefore being the Fires are TWO the Turba also must be apprehended in a Twofold Form or Kind viz. in a corruptible Body and in an incorruptible Body viz. one in the fierce wrathful Fire and one in the Light-Fire wherein or whereby we understand God's Body and in the fierce wrathful Fire the Earthly Body which the Turba corrupteth or breaketh for it findeth its Limit 307. Therefore now the Eternal Fire in God's Eye is to be understood both the fierce wrathful and also the Light-Love-Fire And we give you to understand that the Spirit without a Body must remain in the fierce wrathful Fire for it hath lost its Substantiality the Turba hath swallowed it up in the Fire 308. But the Spirit with a Body which the Turba is not able to devour remaineth Eternally in the Substantiality in God's Body wherein his Spirit standeth viz. the Body in the Love of God which is the hidden Man in the Old Adamical which there hath Christ's Flesh in the corruptible or fragile Body 309. Thus we understand the Soul to be an awakened Life out of God's Eye its Original is in the Fire and the Fire is its Life and so if it goeth not out from the Fire with its Will and Imagination into the Light viz. through the fierce wrathful Death into the Second Principle into the Love-Fire then it remaineth in its own Original Fire and hath nothing but the Turba for a Body viz. the astringent fierce Wrath a desiring in the Fire a consuming and a hunger and yet an Eternal Seeking which is the Eternal Anguish 310. But the Soul which with its desirous will entereth into it self and in its reason that is in its desiring sinketh down and seeketh not it self but God's Love is in its Fire as it were dead for its will which awakeneth the Fire is dead to the Fire-Life and is gone out from it self into the Love-Fire that Soul is fallen home to the Love-Fire and hath also the Love-Fires Body for it is entered thereunto and is a great Wonder in God's Body and it is no more it self for it hath killed its will and so its Turba also is as it were dead and the Love-will filleth or satiateth the Fire of the Original and therein it liveth Eternally 311. But those Souls which have awakned the Turba they have lost the Image For the Turba hath swallowed THAT into it self and therefore those Souls get or acquire in the Anger and in Hell Beastial Images according as the Turba is in them as Lucifer got a Serpents Image all according as the Will or Mind hath here been figured or framed so it standeth then naked and apparent 312. For the fierce wrathful Turba seeketh continually the Image and findeth it not therefore it figureth or frameth the Image according to the Will for the earthly Desire sticketh in the Will and such an Image standeth now in God's Wonders in the Eye of the fierce wrathful Principle 313. And here we understand the eighth Form to be the Turba which seeketh the Image and if it findeth the Limit it breaketh it and goeth into it and seeketh further into it self and findeth at last the Abomination of that which the Soul had done here in this life 314. And then we understand here the Fire which at the End shall purge the Floar and the earnest severe Judgement And we understand how every Fire will receive its Substance from the Turba and what that is 315. Where then the Fire will swallow up the Earth and draw the Elements with the Wonders in them into the Beginning where then the First will be again and the Elements in One And every thing will set forth its wonders there every thing in its own Fire into which the Will is entered 316. Let this be said to you ye Children of Men it concerneth you for No Beast is come out of the Eternal Beginning but out of the Model of the Eternal and in its Spirit reacheth not the Eternal as the Soul of Man doth 317. Also the corrupt or perished Body cannot possess the Eternal it is fallen home back to the Turba but the New Man generated or born in God will possess the Eternal for it is gone forth from the corruptible and hath put on God in Christ which hath God's Body in the Old Body 318. The earthly source or fountain quality the Turba taketh that along with it the outward Body from the Earth remaineth with the Earth
but not matter else that which is drawn in will be darkness to thee 20. Let the Devil behind thee roar before thy left Eye he cannot enter in unless thou lettest thy Eye take in matter 21. Thus wilt thou when thy earthly Body breaketh see all the wonders in the left Eye with the right which thou hast made or acted and found here in this life-time and so when the earthly Body falleth away then is also thy left Eye free from the Nature of the fierce wrath 22. And though it hath Nature for it is Nature it self which awakeneth and retaineth the wonders yet it standeth then with the wonders in the Eternal Liberty being it hath let in nothing of matter therefore it is free 23. And Nature with the Wonders is a fire-sharpness and layeth hold of the Eternal Liberty and so maketh Majesty in the Liberty in the Wonders from which the right Eye which accounteth it self here in this life as dead becometh enlightened and rejoyceth it self Eternally with the left Eye in the Majesty of the highly joyous Kingdom and eternally seeth God with BOTH Eyes 24. This is one Gate whosoever rightly in the spirit apprehendeth seeth THIS he seeth ALL whatsoever God IS and CAN do He seeth also therewith or thereby through Heaven Hell and Earth and through the Substance of all Substances and is the whole Scripture of whatsoever hath been written from the beginning of the world but it is a pretious sight the Old Man knoweth it not he seeth it not but the New Man born or generated in God 25. But being we are so hard to be understood by the purblind mind therefore we will render it more simply behold when thou wilt with thy Soul see God's Light and wilt that it be enlightened from God then do it thus 26. Thou art in this World and if thou hast a lawful honest Calling or Employment without falshood or wickedness continue therein work labour trade and manage it as necessity requireth seek Wonders both in the Elements and in the Earth be it in what Art Science or Employment it will it is all God's Work seek in the Earth Silver Gold make artificial works thereof build till plant it is all to God's Deeds of Wonder 27. But listen to this A. B. C. thou should not suffer thy spirit to enter thereinto fil or satiate it self therewith make a Mammon of it and to set thy self therein as in a Darkness else it is but God's Fool therein and the Devils mymmick Ape and setteh its will therein 28. And thy noble Image becometh altered according to thy Imagination in the Spirit according to thy will which is in Covetousness thou losest God's Image for it is Magical it is as subtile as a Spirit and much subtiler yea much subtiler and thinner than the Soul it self 29. It is as God is who dwelleth in the Eternal Liberty unapprehended by any thing for it is thinner or purer then any thing and so is also thy noble or pretious Image which yet standeth in Heavenly Flesh and Blood and is the Substantiality out of or from God's Body 30. It is Christ's Flesh and Blood and thy Soul dwelleth therein it is the Fire of the Majesty therein 31. And the holy Spirit sitteth in the Heart of the Image and goeth out of the Image forth with Voices Languages Wonders Songs and Sounds Into this Image thou bringest thy Wonders if thou art true and faithful and do it thus 32. Put thy left will into the work which thou dost and consider that thou art God's Servant in the Vineyard of God and labour faithfully and put thy right will into God into that which is Eternal and see that thou be at no time secure or careless but consider that thou art only in thy day labour and shouldst continually listen to have the voice of the Lord calling thee to come home give Reason no place to say this is my Treasure it is mine own I have enough or I will get or gather much that I may come to honour in the World and leave much to my Children 33. Consider that thy Children are God's Children and thou God's Servant that thy work is God's work and that thy Money Goods Labour and Blood standeth in God's hands 34. He may do with them what he will when he calleth thee to go home into thy own Country then he may take thy Labour and give it to another 35. And give thy heart no place to introduce into thee the Will-spirit of High-mindedness into the Image 36. Sink down thy Will-spirit alwayes into Humility before God and so thy Image goeth alwayes in the Humility with thy will into God's Majesty and thy Image becometh continually enlightened with the high-triumphing Light of God 37. O how chearful is the Soul when its Anguish Source or Quality of the Fire tasteth Gods Light how very friendly kind and courteous is it how it boweth it self before God! Thus standeth the Soul and also the Image in the Spirit all three one in another for it is a Substance according to the holy Trinity 38. Thus my beloved Brother we give you in answer to this Question that the Soul can no otherwise be enlightened than thus this is its enlightening It is in this world and also in God it is here in this life a Servant to the Wonders of God those it should open with one eye and bring them with the other into the Beginning before God and put all its substance and doings into God's Will and by no means say of any thing in this world this is mine I am Lord over it for it lyeth if it say so 39. It is all God's it self is Servant and should converse in Love and Humily towards God and its Brother for its Brothers Soul is a Fellow-Member of it self its Brothers Joy in Heaven with God is also ITS Joy his Wonders are ITS Wonders for in Heaven God is all in all He filleth all 40. The holy Spirit is the Life in all there is mere joy no sorrow is there known there all is God's and all belongeth to the Image of God there all is common and universal one rejoyceth at anothers vertue and power charity or glory brightness and beauty there is no grutching or envy all that remaineth in Death and in Hell 41. Therefore ye Elect Children of God Regenerated in Christ take this into consideration go out from Covetousness and own Self-will ye have been a long time lead blindfold in Bable go out from her ye are called with a strong loud voice it will shortly awaken or raise the Dead let it prevail with you that you may attain Eternal Joy in God 42. The Spirit signifieth clearly that whatsoever will not grow forth together with the new Sprout that springeth forth in the Mother shall and must go into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone together with the Dragons Whore in Babel 43. It is a
the Fire only the Turba with the Introduced Abominations plagueth it there is an Eternal Despair in them and therefore they are also God's Enemies 8. Whatsoever belongeth to Blasphemy and Cursing that is their best power and vertue they devour Hellish Brimstone and Abominations For their Fruits are such manner of things a kind of Matter that is outwardly fair and inwardly meer fierce wrath and as they have been such flattering Hypocrites upon Earth therefore also their Heaven giveth them such Bread to Eat 9. They are at Large shut up in Nothing they may go as Deep as they will yet it is every where the Abysse and the Darkness and yet they are but in their First Place the Deeper they desire to swing themselves the Deeper they Fall and yet are no where at an End or at the Ground or Bottom 10. Their Number is no Humane Number their delight is a stink of Fire and Brimstone because of their Cursed Blasphemy that they were Angels and now Devils when they consider themselves then first riseth up the gnawing Worm that Devoureth and Tormenteth them 11. What should a Man write of their Cursedness they are filthy Evil Beasts all that they have practised upon the Earth that followeth after them and that they would also do there they swallow down Abomination and Cursing without Measure a Man cannot apprehend their Dominion better then by the Antichristian Horse and by Cursing blaspheming Men which are Mad with Cursing though it be but a Looking-Glass in respect of the Hellish Abominations and we will not further mention them for they are not worthy to be named The Five and Thirtieth Question What the Enochian Life is and how long it lasteth 1. THis is also above Humane Reason and which no outward Reason can Comprehend but seeing it is born or generated therefore it shall stand open for there stick such Mysteries here that the World cannot comprehend and we shall not mention them at large for it hath its limit how far it shall go for in this Time shall Wonders be done upon Earth for which cause our speech is taken from us that we must be silent 2. Yet we shall shew what kind of Life it is or whither Enoch is gone as also Elias and Moses It is no Conjecture we speak what here is given us we shall further be silent and not believe Reason it is a Fool herein 3. And we may well mention this for the Time is Born that Enoch speaketh and Elias worketh Wonders which Babel shall try by Experience For Moses hath Horns and yet is a Patient or Meek Lamb. 4. O how wouldest thou rejoyce if thou wouldst go amongst Moses Flock for he hath a good Message or Embassie rejoyce ye Heaven and be merry ye Earth for Enoch is in the field and keepeth his Flock 5. What will Elias do He had a white Garment on and was with Christ on the Mount and spake to him concerning the finishing the Redemption of Mankind and spake to him also of the Entrance into Paradise and of the final Deliverance from the Driver or Persecutor 6. He that is born Blind seeth Nothing how can a Lame Man run to the limit for the Prize and a Deaf Man distinguishâ—â—â—… Words and Languages Doth not the Sun shin all the Day and yet the Mole remaineth blind still Will Babel then come to see We say she is a Scorner and therefore also she must be blind though the Sun shineth to her 7. How can any see what is in TWO Worlds that dwelleth alwayes but in ONE Or is it not Art and Wit that hath understanding that can search the Deep Gates But it flyeth aloft like a Wind that holdeth nothing and yet maketh such a Bluster so also Babel 8. When we will speak of the Enochian Life we must consider the Scripture and see who Enoch was and what Life he lead and then we may soon find where he is and what his going away and taking up is 9. The Scripture saith his Father was called Jared if you understand the Language of Nature you had the whole Ground 10. And Enoch begat Methusalah who attained the Highest Age of any Man and after he had begotten him he continued in a Godly or Divine Life till the Lord took him into his Principle 11. And we are not so to understand it as if he were wholly perfect in the Light of God's Majesty and should not appear at the Judgment Day He is indeed in God without necessity and Death also in God's Love but in the Birth of God's Principle for he had also Adam's Flesh 12. So you know very well that the outward Kingdom with the Earthly Flesh belongeth to the Turba though indeed he had in the outward Body the Body of God's Wonders as to which he was taken up into the Mystery so that the outward Body was as it were swallowed up of the Mystery 13. But now must the Mystery give up again all whatsoever it hath swallowed up as ye know that at the End it shall present the outward Body with all Substances or Works before the Judgment of God so also is the Turba still in the outward Body with the Wonders which shall be manifested and tryed in the Fire 14. Seeing then Enoch is taken up with Body and Soul with both Bodies therefore his outward Body is in the Mystery and the inward Body is a Heavenly Mystery in the Arcanum or hiddenness and so he liveth in two Mysteries invisibly and incomprehensibly to the outward World as we give you to understand that Paradise is still at hand and not vanished but is as it were swallowed up by the Curse of God and lyeth yet as a Mystery uncorrupted in the Curse 15. For we can with good ground of Truth say that Paradise is still upon Earth but we are not therein yet Enoch is therein but he hath still the Body of the Turba in the Mystery and in the Heavenly Mystery he hath God's Body a Paradisical Body that is capable of Paradise thus he is a Wonder and is a Prophet on the Crown at the limit of the Wonders 16. For ye know the Scripture saith that after he begat Methuselah the Man of the highest Age that afterwards he continued in a Divine Life and that is significant 17. Methuselah sheweth the end of the Wonders of this World and Enoch in his Divine Life after the Birth of Methuselah sheweth as to his Three hundred years the opening of the Wonders and the open Ministry viz. a preaching of Righteousness whereby every one hath his Turba shewen him and the End of the Wonders of this World is shewed viz. God's punishment and reward to the Good 18. And the Time after Enoch wherein Enoch lived till the Number of the Crown when Enoch with his Preaching was taken up sheweth that the Enochian Light which appeared in his Time will pass again into the Principle and will seek the Earthly Body of Enoch and it will be
Noah what should a scorner do with the Mystery he seeketh only for plenty to Eat and to Drink and looketh how he may satisfie his Pomp wherewith he might Ride on in Babel 42. Thus my Beloved Friend we have given you a short hint of the Enochian Life also what his Office and Condition is as also of Moses and Elias you should further consider of them as a discerning Man for we dare not speak otherwise of it also our Understanding and Will is turned into such a way of Speech and in this place at this time I am not allowed to write more fundamentally with a simple understanding 43. If God permit and that it be given to Us to write somewhat upon the first and also the second Book of Moses more may be opened for the Names that are set down of the Fathers before the Deluge or Flood belong all to the Mystery and there are Great Wonders therein when it will be Day then you shall by them apprehend the whole Course of the World The Six and Thirtieth Question What the Soul of the Messiah or Christ is 1. THis we have explained in our Third Book concerning the Three-fold Life of Man yet seeing every one that readeth this hath not that at hand also because of the Question more must be answered therefore it also shall be set down for you ask in the following Question concerning Christ's Spirit which was obedient and which Christ Commended to his Father 2. Here shall be given to the Old sick Adam a Good reviving Cordial a Medicine for Death that he may be awakened for his Mother will bear or bring forth a young Son who shall live in her Bosom and shall rejoyce at it 3. And now if we will consider of Christ's Soul we must our selves seek it and find it for Christ's Soul is a Hamane Soul conceived in Mary in the twofold Virgin 4. Though we acknowledge the outward Mortal Life in Mary for no Pure Virgin for that which is Mortal hath the Anger and the Turba which breaketh or corrupteth all purity so that no pure Virgin is born of Eve but all are her Daughters 5. And Eve her self was but half a Virgin for Adam was the other half according to the Two Tinctures wherein man appeared in a total entire Virgin and pure Love and God through him as the Original through the Creature which he made out of himself 6. And thus also in one whole or entire person there is a pure Love and Chastity for it seeketh no other Mixture it is it self the Mixture of both the Tinctures viz. of the Souls Tincture and of the Spirits Tincture and therein is power and ability that it can generate a Spirit out of the Fires Tincture which is called Soul and Spirit 7. Which Adam squandred away when he let the Earthly Life captivate him and therefore he must be broken and a Woman be made out of him which must set her Love Delight Longing and Imagination into Adams Tincture if she would be impregnate with a Soul 8. And None can say that Eve before the Touching of Adam was a pure Chast Virgin for as soon as Adam awaked out of sleep he saw her standing by him and imagined suddenly after or into her and took her to him and said This is Flesh of my Flesh and Bone of my Bone she shall be called a she-Man or Woman because she is taken out of Man 9. And she Eve also suddenly Imagined into Adam and one kindled the other in the seeking 10. And where is now the pure Chastity and Modesty It is not Beastial is not the outward Image become a Beast As is sufficiently to be seen in the Will and Substance or Doings that Man doth as a Beast and more foolishly for he hath Reason and rideth on in Reason so senslesly 11. But that it might be remedied and the Image come into One again therefore is the Word which spake the Soul forth out of God's Mouth and by the Holy Spirit breathed it into the Image become Man and is entred into the Earthly Image viz. into the Turba of Destruction 12. And you know very well that the Word hath the Water of the Eternal Life and the Fire of the Deity and out of the Fire the Tincture of the Deity and in the Tincture the Spirit of God which goeth forth out of God's Mouth and in the going forth is the Glance of the Majesty in the working of the Spirit Manifested 13. That very word is in the Virgin of the Wisdom of God and surrounded with the Eternal Wonders and that now out of the Great Love and Humility towards our Image which was destroyed to us in Adam is entered into us again and is in Mary understand in the Earthly Mary but with the Blessing become Man or Incarnate 14. The Blessing is this that to the Soul of Mary the Heavenly Virgin the Wisdom of God was put on which Adam had lost and therefore the Angel called her the Blessed a-among Women 15. No Woman from Adam to this Day had the Heavenly Virgin put on to her but only this Mary and therefore with the Blessing she became Chast and full of Modesty for the Spirit goeth not into the Earthly it Mixeth it self not with the Looking-Glass for that cannot be that the Looking-Glass should be as the Life it self 16. Thus understand us dearly according to its precious Depth Mans Soul is out of God and out of the Eternal but Mans Body is a Looking-Glass of the Eternal Thus hath God put on to the Virgin Mary God's Virgin but in the Souls Principle not in the Earthly Flesh as if she were Deified no she must die as all mankind doth 17. And in that very Virgin hath Gods Word out of God the Fathers Heart assumed the Seed of the Woman viz. the Souls Seed and the first Images Seed which now stood so long time in the Mystery broken 18. And now God's Life came thereinto made again a whole or Entire Image for the Water of the Eternal Life out of God's Heart mixed it self with the Souls Spirit 's Water for the Spirit existeth out of the Water and the Soul is Fire 19. Thus the Word took hold of the Souls Tincture and the Holy Spirit of the Spirits Tincture viz. of the Waters Tincture and out of Both became one Soul and yet the Creature remained distinct from God's Spirit but God's Spirit dwelleth therein and so out of God's Water and Tincture and out of the Seed of Mary out of her Tincture and Water in the high Blessing came one Flesh and Blood so that a Heavenly Man Equally at once in the Earthly became Man or was Incarnate 20. So that a Man might say this is the Womans Son viz. Maries right true bodily natural Sonne with Soul and Body with Flesh and Blood and all whatsoever a Man hath and also God's true Sonne which was generated out of God's Eternal Substance from
