and Jupiter as also Mars by reason of their great Orb cir●…umference cannot do it because they stand so high above and far distant from the Sun. The other Planets are peculiar Bodies of their own which have a Corporeal Propriety of themselves and are not bound to any fixed place but only to their Circles Orb or Sphere wherein they run their Course but the Sun is not such a Body but is only a place or Locality kindled by the Light of God. Understand the place where the Sun is is such a place as you may chuse or suppose any where above the Earth And if God should kindle the Light by the Heat then the whole World would be such a meer Sun for the same Power where the Sun standeth is every where all over and before the time of Wrath it was every where all over the place of this World as light as the Sun is now bu●… not so intolerable For that Heat was not so great as in the Sun and therefore the Light also was very meek So that man should not dare to say that the Sun is an open Gate of the L●…ght of God but is as the light in a man's Eye whereas also the place of the Eye belongs to the Body but the Light is distinct from the Body The Stars are 〈◊〉 Powers of the seven Spirits of God for when the 〈◊〉 of God was kindled by the Devil in this world then the ●…ole House of this world in Nature or the outermost Birth or Geniture was as it were benumed or chilled in Death from whence the Earth and Stones came to be The Stars are arisen or proceeded out of the kindled House of God's wrath for the whole House is ●…enumed in Death as the Earth is whence the Stars also subsist in Wrath and Love. Before the times of the created Heavens ●…he Stars and Elements and 〈◊〉 the creation of Angels there was no such Wra●…h of God no Death no Devil no Earth nor Stones neither any Stars but the Dei●…y generated it self very meekly and lovingly and formed ●…gured and framed it self in Ideas Shapes and Images which were incorporated 〈◊〉 to the qualifying or fountain Spirits in the generating Of the Earth c. THe Earth is come from the corrupt Saliter of the outermost Birth or Geniture For on the first Day God drove together or compacted the corrupt Saliter which came to be so in the kindling of ●…he Wrath. In this driving 〈◊〉 or compaction of the corrupt wrath S●…liter was King Luc●…r also as an impotent Prin●…e together with ●…is A●…ls driven into the hole of the WrathSaliter into that place where the outward half dead Comprehensibility is generated which is the place or space in upon above the Earth up to the nature Goddess the Moon So far reacheth their extent now ●…ill the last Day and then they will get a House in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 where the Earth now is and 〈◊〉 that is in the 〈◊〉 Birth in the Darkness and this will be called the ●…urning H●…ll For Nature w●… very 〈◊〉 and thin or transparent and all stood meerly in Power and was in a very pleasant ho●… temper But as soon as 〈◊〉 Fight began in Nature with 〈◊〉 proud Devil Nature got a two-fold Source and the outer most Birth or Geniture in Nature was kindled in the wra●… Fire which is called the Wrath of God or the Burning Hel●… But Now when this was done the Deep became clear an●… with the hidd●…n or concealed Heaven th●… Light was seperate from the Darkness and the Globe of the Earth in the grea●… Wheel of Nature was roled or turned once about and th●… p●…ssed the time of one Revolution or of one Day In the duration of the second Day began the sharp 〈◊〉 tion and the incomprehensible 〈◊〉 between the Wra●…h an●… the Love or Light was made And so King Lucifer sirmly strongly or fast bolted up into the House of Darkness and wa●… reserved to the final Judgment And so also the Water of Life was separated from the Water of Death yet in that manner as that they hang to gether in this time of the World as Body and Soul and 〈◊〉 neither of them comprehend the other the Firmament is th●…●…liff or gulf between Time and Eternity But that God calleth it Heaven and maketh a division of the Waters gives us to understand that Heaven is in the world and the world is not in Heaven the VVater above the Firmament is in Heaven and the VVater under the Firmament is the external material Water the palpable water is Death and the impalpable is the Life Moses saith God created Heaven and Earth and all Creatures in six days and rested on the seventh yet God needed no Rest for he hath wrought from Eternit●… and he is a meer working Power and Virtue the understanding li●…th ●…idden in those Words could not 〈◊〉 ●…ve made all his Works in one day Neither can we properly say there was any Day before the Sun was for in the Deep there is but one day in all Therefore the meaning lieth hidden 〈◊〉 understandeth by each days workings the manifestation of the seven Properites for 〈◊〉 saith In the beginning God created H●… and ●…arth This visible World is sprung from the spiritual World and is only an Effluence of the seven Properties for it proceedeth out of the six working Properties but in the seventh that is in Paradise it is in rest and that ●…s the eternal Sabboth of Rest wherein the divine ●…ower and Virtue resteth for the seventh day was the ●…rue Paradise understand it spiritually That is the Tincture of the divine Power and Virtue ●…hich is a temperament this pi●…rced through Properties and wrought in the seventh that is in the substance of all the other Now it may be asked Why did not God bolt up the Devil instantly and then he had not done so much Mischief Answer This was Gods purpose and that must stand which is he would re-edifie out the corrupted Nature of the Earth or build again to himself an ange●…ical Host or Army viz. a true Body which should subsist eternally in God It was not God's intention at all to let the Devil have the whole ●…arth for an eternal dwelling-House but only the death and fierceness of the Earth which the Devil had brought into it Now if he should have instantly left it to the Devil for an eternal dwelling House then out of that place a new Body could not have been built Now what Sin had that space place or room committed against God that it should stand in eternal shame Sure none and therefore that was unequal to be so Also the purpose of God was to make a curious excellent Host or Army out of the Earth and all manner of Images Ideas and ●…orms for in and upon that all should spring and generate themselves a new as we see in Minerals Oars Stones Trees Herbs and Grass and all manner of Beasts after a heavenly

In Popery much iugling ●…ath been invented about this in saying Mass for a Soul and that for Money only but 〈◊〉 hath been a great Cheat of the Pope of Babel for ther●… is earnestness required to wresile with the anger of God and overcome it Yet we confess and acknowledge readily that the Churc●… of Christ hath great power to ransom such a Soul if 〈◊〉 fervency and earnestness it do it as it was done in the Primitive Church when they had holy People and holy Priests who performed their Ministry in real earnestness They indeed effected somewhat but not in such a way as the Pope boasteth of saying That he hath the Key and that he can let out a Soul with 〈◊〉 Blessing when he will if a man will give him Money This is a Lye. VVhether separated Souls take care of human matters FIrst those Souls which yet have not attained Heaven and so stick in the Source in the Principle in the Birth those have yet the human Essence wi●…h the Works in them they diligently search out 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And therefore many of them come again with the 〈◊〉 ●…irit and wander up and down in their ●…ouses and places 〈◊〉 abode and ●…ar in a human Shape desire this and that ●…nd often times take care about their Wills or Tesiaments ●…nd also think to procure the blessing of the Saints that they 〈◊〉 rest and if their earthly A●…airs do still stick in them 〈◊〉 take care many times also about thei●… Children Friends This condition of theirs con●…ueth so long till they fall into their Rest and till their 〈◊〉 Spirits be consumed then all such doings cares and 〈◊〉 are at an end and they also have no more knowledge thereof but that they see them in the wonders in the Magick After this sort are once received into Grace they take no care purposely about human earthly M●…rs but 〈◊〉 the ●…eavenly Matters which are brought to it by the Spirit of 〈◊〉 and rejoyceth in them But there is somewhat still behind which is this A living man hath such power that his is able with his Spirit to go in●…o Heaven to the seperated Souls and stir them up about some Question by a 〈◊〉 desire but it must be earnest it must be Faith that must break open a Principle And this we see in Samuel the Pr●… whom the King of ●…ael raised up that he might make his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to him though it seem otherwise to some of whom we may well say 〈◊〉 they are blind and void of Knowledge 〈◊〉 they speak but their own scholastick Fables and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 about that they have no knowledge of in the Spirit And these are Babel Now secondly the other sort which sink into Death without a Body they are wholly in one and the same place of the Principle in which the first sort are which afterwards did sink down in themselves All these take no evil Affairs upon them wherein the Turba sticketh But when the honest Souls which are alive send them their Works with their Spirit and Will they rejoyce in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 are so a●…able that they appear to men a●…lly in 〈◊〉 and shew them good wayes and many times reveal 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 lie in secret viz. in the Ab●… of the Soul. Thus know that no Soul separated from the Body 〈◊〉 into any wicked matter except it be a damned Soul which indeed entreth in magically and hath its joy therein 〈◊〉 teacheth most notorious vile Pranks in Dreams for it is 〈◊〉 servant of the Devil and whatsover a wicked man desireth that the devil readily helpeth him to for he can do it better by the Soul of a man then of himself for he is too crude and terrifieth the Magia so that the elementary Spirit 〈◊〉 astonished and awakneth the Body Also this you must know that all is done magically in th●… Will without awakning of the Source No Soul 〈◊〉 with its Ess●…nces of its own accord to please man unless man raise and disturb it himself There are many Villanies in Negromancy which ca●… many times vex and torment the Spirits of men but it 〈◊〉 do so to no Soul that is cloathed with Christ's essentiality for that Soul is free The third sort of seperated Souls which are in Abraham's bosom in Christ having the heavenly essentiality none 〈◊〉 stir except they will themselves as when they have a favour to a Soul that is like themselves also they take no earthly thing upon them except it make for the Glory of God and then they are restless to reveal something in a Magical way But then they let no Turba into them neither do they intercede with God for us but whatsoever cometh to them they rejoyce in it with the Angels for the Angels rejoyce at a Sinner that repenteth then much more the Souls Why should they pray to God for us it lieth not in their Prayer but in 〈◊〉 entring into God when he strongly turneth his Will to God then God's Spirit h●…lpeth him without Prayers Of the Resurrection and also of the end of Time. WHen the last Day shall begin to dawn then the Deity manifesteth it self once more and that is the third time in all Forms in Love and Anger and then all things together at once shall be plainly laid open in the sight of all Creatures Now here is the End of Time for then the beginning 〈◊〉 found the end and the end is then the beginning and 〈◊〉 again into that which it was from Eternity If we knew certainly the 〈◊〉 of the sixth Day wherein 〈◊〉 Creation was finished we could then set you down the ●…ear and Day we mean the last Day for it goeth not a Minuit further it hath its limit hid in the inward Circle Therefore know for certain that the Time is near for 〈◊〉 the sixth day Afternoon the Rest of the eternal Day began ●…nd therefore God instituted the Sabboth of the seventh Day for a Rest and an everlasting Remembrance And as the Rest began on the 〈◊〉 Day towards the Evening and the entrance to the manifestation of the Works of the Creation the end then taketh in the beginning again and the six Days stood thus in the Circle as a wonder so know that ye were created in Paradise and yet are gone out from it into the spirit of wrathfulness into Death which hath now wrought its Wonders in you these 5500 Years and upwards And now the End hath found the Beginning again and yo shall see also feel and find what Paradis●… hath been even every one of them that shall be born in God. But the middle with the Wonders which were manifested in the time continueth forever more in the beginning and in the end as an eternal middle with its Wonders viz. with the Angels and Men and their Essences as also the figures of all Creatures all that hath been essential at any time the Earth with its Metals also Stones and all material Substances 〈◊〉 Trees

and he cometh for he hath the won●…rs of God. For he passed through death and brought 〈◊〉 Body through death when the Turba desired to consume it and the Devil contended for it and would have the Turba which was in Moses because he had ben an angry man and carried the Turba in him But it was told the Devil that the Turba in the 〈◊〉 did not belong to him for it belonged to the Majesty of God and contained the wonders and the Turba in the Darkness in the wrath only belonged to him who is without the City he must not dwell in the City in 〈◊〉 Principle but without it Also Moses his Body is passe●… through Death ●…is un●…able Body which had the VVonders hath swallowed up that which was earthly in the Turba and yet not consumed it to 〈◊〉 but it also is in the 〈◊〉 and his Turba which killed the first-born in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the water slew them that 〈◊〉 the Calf and swallowed up Corah Datha●… and 〈◊〉 into the Earth continued in death For when he dy●… his Spirit and Soul departed from the Turba and he 〈◊〉 mained in the VVonders in the Mistery and now he 〈◊〉 become a Lamb. But though the Body of Moses be d livered from 〈◊〉 Turba it must be tryed in the Fire at the end of Day●… At the last Day we shall not ascend above the pla●… of this world but make our abode here in our 〈◊〉 native Country and go into our home in another worl●… in another Principle of another Property VVhen this outward dominion shall pass away 〈◊〉 the very place where the world now stands there 〈◊〉 be meer Paradise for the Earth will be of an heavenl●… Essentiality so that we shall be able to dwell any where●… and be able to pass through and through it There will be no Cold or Heat any more also 〈◊〉 Night there is no Death any ●…ore also no ●…ear 〈◊〉 Sorrow no Sickness the Earth will be like a Christaline Sea and all the VVonders of the VVorld will be 〈◊〉 wholly perspicously and the Brightness of God shall 〈◊〉 the Light thereof and the holy Jerusalem the great City of God shall be therein The whole world would have been a meer Paradise if Lucifer had not corrupted it who was in the beginning of his Creation an Hierarch in the place of this world But seeing God knew well that A●…am would fall therefore Paradise sprung forth and budded only in one certain place to introduce and confirm Man therein whom albeit ●…od saw that he would again depart thence he would again introduce him thereinto by Christ and establish him a new in Christ to Eternity in Par●… For Lucifer poysoned the first Paradise with his false and wicked Desire therefore God promised to regenerate it anew in Christ For the seventh Day which God appointed for Rest is nothing else but 〈◊〉 regenérate anew in the Spirit of Christ in the human Property wherein the poor Soul shall rest eternally from the source of the six dayes Works viz. of the six Properties of the Life A short summary Appendix of the Soul and of the Turba which is the destroyer of the Image and of Virgin Sophia THe Soul is an Eye in the eternal Abiss a similitude of Eternity a perfect Figure and Image of the first Principle and resembleth God the ●…ather 〈◊〉 his Person as to the eternal Nature The Essence and Substance of it meerly and purely as it is in it self is first the wheel of Nature as to the first four ●…orms viz. 1. Astringent 2. Bitter 3. Fire 4. Anguish ●…ire is a similitude of the Soul. The Soul is an essential ●…ire and the flash of Fire i●… the life of it it resembleth a Globe or an Eye of Fire●… The burning ●…ire in the Source signifieth the first Principle and the Life yet the Fire is not the Life but the Spirit of the Source which ariseth from the ●…ire and goeth forth from the ●…ire like Air. That is the true Spirit of the Source of the life of the Fire which continually bloweth the Fire up again and maketh it burn Now the Fire shineth and giveth light out of the Source where it shineth and the source comprehendeth not the light and this signifieth the second Principle wherein God dwelleth 〈◊〉 we know that the Power is in the Light and not 〈◊〉 the ●…ire the fire only giveth 〈◊〉 to the light and the life or the light produceth meekness and substantiality viz. Water Now we understand that there is a meek life in the light without Source and yet it self is an insensible Source it is nothing but a longing or desire of Love. VVhich Source we account a Tincture in which the ●…dding and blossomings hath its original yet the fire 〈◊〉 the cause of it and the meekness is a cause of the Substantiality for the desire of Love in the Light ●…eth it and keepeth it so that it becometh a Substance but the desire of fire consumeth the Substantiality Indeed the Image dwelleth in the fire of the Soul as Light ●…elleth in the fire but it hath another Principle as the Light is such a Source as is different from the fire And so the true Image of God dwelleth in the Light of the fire of the Soul which Light the fiery Soul must create in the ●…tain of the Love of God in the Majesty by pu●…ting and yielding its Imagination into it But if the Soul do not so but putteth its Imaginatio into it self into its wrathful form of the Source of th●… fire and not into the fountain of Love into the Ligh●… of God then its own Source of forceness astringenc●… and bitterness riseth up and the Image of God becometh a Turba and swalloweth up the similitude of Go●… in the wrath And then the astringent Fiat in the fiery Essence 〈◊〉 the Soul figureth for the Soul an Image of the imagination that is in its Will VVhatsoever the essenti●… fire of the Soul desireth that will be the figure in th●… Soul. viz. earthlv Figures that which the will of th●… Heart casteth it self into that image the Fiat of th●… Soul will make that is as far as the third Principl●… an●… the spirit of the Stars and Elements hath power So that if the w●…ll of the Soul do cast it self into the Kingdom of this world then the outward Kingdom ha●… power to bring its imagination into the inward Principle and if the inward Fiat perceive that in the fire of 〈◊〉 Soul then it becometh pregnant with it and keepeth it And then the Soul hath the image of a Beast in 〈◊〉 third Principle and that cannot be destroyed forever●… except the will of the soul return again out of the 〈◊〉 Lust and pierce into the Love of God agai●… and th●… it getteth the image of God again which may be do●… onl●… in this Life while the Soul is essentially in its 〈◊〉 in the growing of its Tree but after this Life

into the Pires Might desiring to domineer in the strong fiery Might Thirdly URIEL is a gracious aimable blessed Prince and King he hath his Name from the flash or going forth of the Light which signifieth rightly God the holy Ghost For as the Holy Ghost goeth forth from the Light. and formeth figureth and imageth all and reigneth in all such also is the power and gracious aimable blessedness of a Cherubim who is the King and Heart of all his Angels that is when his Angels do but behold him they are all then affected and touched with the Will of their King. These three Kingdoms together contain such a deep as is not of any human number nor can be measured by any thing yet you must know that these three Kingdoms have a beginning and end but that God that hath made these three Kingdoms out of himself is infinite and hath no end And the three Kingdoms are circular round about the Son of God neither of them is further or nearer to the Son of God for the one is equally as near about the Son of God as the other From this Fountain and from all the Powers of the Father goeth forth the Holy Ghost together with the Light and Power of the Son of God in and through all Angelical Kingdoms or Dominions and without beyond and besides all the Angelical Kingdoms which no Angel or man is able to search or dive into Neither have I any purpose to consider of it furthermuch less to write but my Revelation reacheth even into the three Kingdoms like an Angelical Knowledge Here you must know that the Angels are not all of one Quality neither are they equal or alike one to another in Power and Might Indeed every Angel hath the Power of all the seven qualifying or fountain Spirits But in every one there is somewhat of one Quality more predominant and strong then another and according to that Quality he is glorified also As the Flowers in the Meadows do every one receive their Colour from their Qualities and are named also according to their Qualities so are the holy Angels also But the King is the Heart of all the Qualities and hath his Court or Residence in the midst or centre like a ●…ountain and as the Sun standeth in the midst among the Planets and is King of the Stars and the Heart of Nature in this World so great also is a Cherubim or King of Angels VVe are not to understand that the holy Angels dwell only above the Stars without the place of this VVorld Indeed they dwell without the Dominion and Source of this world but in the place of this world a●…eit there is no place in Eternity the place of this world and also the place without this world is all one to them VVe men see not Angels and Devils with our Eyes and yet they are about us and among us the reason is because they dwell not in the Source and Dominion of our world VVe understand that evil and good Angels dwell near to one another and yet there is the greatest immense distance between them for the Heaven is in Hell and the Hell is in Heaven and yet the one is not manifest to the other and although the Devil should go many Millions of Miles desir●…ng to enter into Heaven and to see it yet he would be still in Hell and not see it also the Angels see not the Darkness for their sight is meer Light of divine Power and the Devils sight is meer Darkness of God's Anger The like also is to be understood of the Saints and again of the VVicked Their agillity or nimbleness is as swift as the Thoughts of a man yea as the divine Power it self is yet one Angel is mo●…e swift then another and that answerable according to their Quality Now upon the seventh Spirit of God their Foot doth stay which is solid like a Cloud and clear and bright as a Christaline Sea where they walk upward and downward which way soever they please In that seventh Spirit also riseth up the heavenly 〈◊〉 and Colours and whatsoever is apprehensible Antiquity hath represented the Angels in Picture lik●… men with Wings but they have no need of any Wings yet they have Hands and ●…eet as men have but after a heavenly manner and kind At the day of the Resurrection from the dead there will be no difference between Angels and men they will be of one and the same kind of form and our King Christ clearly testifieth the same To whom shall I liken the Angels they are like to little Children that walk in the Fields among the Howers and pluck them and make curious Garland of them they take one another by the Hand and walk together and rejoyce together Here is nothing but a cordial meek and gentle Love. a friendly courteous Discourse a gracious aimable and blessed Society where the one always delighteth to see the other and to honour one another They know of no Malice cunning Subtilty or Deceit but the divine Fruits and pleasant Loveliness is common among them And know that we speak from a true ground and not from conjecture that God created Angels and men to his own Joy. Of the Mystery of the Creation and of the outward World. SEeing the Prince of the Hierarchies when he sate in the heavenly Essence in the Rest did fall and aspired for the centre of the eternal Nature he was cast into the darkness and God by his motion created him another Prince out of this place but without divine understanding for a Ruler in the Essence and that is the Sun. From this place proceeded in the divine motion the seven Properties of Nature understand the Planets which govern the essential Beeing in good and evil in which Essence Lucifer sat and whence he was cast and lost his dominion in the Essence Now observe The Sun hath its own Royal Place to it self and doth not go away from that place where it came to be at first as some suppose that it runneth round about the Globe of the Earth in a Day and a Night and some of the Astrologers also write so Here I shall have Adversaries enough that will be ready to censure me and say Astrologers understand it better wh●…●…ave writ of such matters andthey will look upon this great opening as a Cow looks upon a new Barn-door But that I write otherwise then Astrologers in some things I do it not out of supposition doubting whether it be so or no I dare make no doubt herein neither can any man instruct me herein I have not my Knowledge by study Now this Opinion or Supposition is not right but the Earth roveth or turneth it self about and runeth with the other Planets as in a Wheel round about the Sun Th●… Earth doth not remain staying in one place but runeth round in a Year once about the Sun as the other Planets viz. Venus and Mercury that are next the Sun but Saturn
