that_o seem_v to_o spread_v itself_o over_o a●_n through_o all_o his_o deep_a and_o mystical_a write_n the_o first_o head_n what_o god_n be_v before_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n the_o subject_n of_o this_o chapter_n be_v what_o god_n be_v in_o the_o primary_n and_o original_n be_v of_o himself_o before_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n do_v exist_v quest._n if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o this_o god_n be_v that_o be_v before_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v bring_v into_o manifestation_n answ._n i_o answer_v that_o by_o god_n in_o this_o place_n i_o understand_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n himself_o as_o he_o be_v a_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n but_o what_o this_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n of_o himself_o be_v who_o can_v tell_v but_o himself_o it_o be_v unknowable_a to_o any_o beside_o himself_o for_o no_o creature_n can_v comprehend_v a_o infinite_a unsearchable_a and_o incomprehensible_a creator_n therefore_o none_o can_v know_v what_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v out_o of_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n but_o himself_o alone_o the_o first_o manifestation_n of_o himself_o be_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n there_o he_o first_o become_v knowable_a to_o intellectual_a creature_n but_o without_o and_o beyond_o it_o he_o be_v as_o a_o nothing_o to_o all_o create_a understanding_n be_v hide_v and_o wrap_v up_o in_o his_o own_o unsearchable_a mystery_n wherefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o god_n consider_v as_o exist_v before_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v absolute_o unknowable_a to_o all_o creature_n and_o this_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o second_o head_n or_o particular_a which_o be_v handle_v in_o the_o next_o follow_v chapter_n the_o second_o head_n which_o make_v the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o treatise_n what_o god_n be_v in_o the_o primary_n and_o original_a be_v of_o himself_o in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n before_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n be_v in_o be_v if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o god_n be_v as_o he_o exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n without_o and_o before_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n i_o must_v before_o i_o come_v to_o give_v you_o a_o more_o particular_a answer_n to_o this_o query_n advise_v you_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o he_o exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n without_o eternal_a nature_n be_v a_o very_a deep_a and_o mystical_a knowledge_n though_o it_o be_v true_a withal_o that_o in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n god_n be_v much_o more_o knowable_a than_o without_o it_o in_o the_o solitary_a abstract_v be_v of_o himself_o for_o so_o he_o be_v altogether_o unknowable_a and_o incomprehensible_a have_v premise_v this_o i_o now_o come_v to_o answer_v the_o forego_n question_n by_o explain_v these_o two_o follow_v particular_n viz._n 1._o what_o god_n be_v with_o relation_n to_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n 2._o what_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v wherein_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n do_v manifest_v himself_o which_o particular_n i_o intend_v to_o make_v the_o subject_a matter_n of_o two_o chapter_n which_o be_v to_o make_v up_o this_o second_o part_n chap._n i._n concern_v what_o god_n be_v in_o relation_n to_o his_o existence_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n the_o deity_n exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o first_o a_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n and_o this_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v a_o uncreated_a essence_n for_o he_o can_v not_o be_v a_o spirit_n without_o be_v a_o essence_n and_o be_v not_o he_o uncreated_a he_o can_v not_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n second_o again_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n or_o god_n as_o he_o ●s_v a_o uncreated_a essence_n so_o he_o exist_v and_o subsist_v in_o himself_o and_o from_o himself_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o he_o or_o above_o he_o from_o whence_o he_o may_v receive_v his_o be_v ●nd_v if_o there_o be_v he_o c●●ld_v not_o be_v god_n for_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n

we_o must_v conclude_v that_o all_o world_n and_o all_o creature_n derive_v their_o ●eing_v from_o this_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n and_o consequent_o ●hat_n the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n or_o

eternity_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n ●o_o by_o consequence_n he_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v before_o it_o as_o the_o cause_n be_v before_o the_o effect_n which_o neither_o may_v no●_n can_v be_v confound_v together_o in_o the_o three_o place●_n i_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o essence_n of_o all_o essence_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o a_o cause_n for_o this_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o one_o only_a tru●_n god_n from_o who_o all_o other_o being_n do_v at_o first_o deriu●_v their_o be_v and_o in_o and_o by_o who_o they_o

be_v a_o eternal_a incom●prehensible_a and_o unmeasurable_a unity_n now_o this_o eternal_a unity_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o pure_a deity_n and_o pur●_n deity_n be_v a_o eternal_a unity_n for_o as_o a_o unity_n be_v the_o begi●●ning_n of_o all_o number_n so_o be_v this_o eternal_a unity_n the_o b●●ginning_n of_o all_o being_n now_o if_o god_n be_v a_o eternal_a unity_n it_o follow_v that_o

precious_a stone_n of_o eternal_a wisdom_n which_o be_v fast_o lock_v up_o in_o this_o cabinet_n and_o lye'_v deep_o bury_v in_o this_o field_n and_o whosoever_o will_v find_v it_o must_v dig_v deep_a for_o it_o but_o you_o will_v say_v where_o shall_v i_o find_v this_o field_n i_o answer_v the_o field_n be_v thyself_o if_o thou_o can_v find_v in_o thyself_o the_o union_n of_o fire_n and_o light_n and_o these_o two_o qualify_a together_o in_o one_o essence_n than_o thou_o have_v meet_v with_o the_o place_n where_o this_o noble_a stone_n be_v hide_v and_o thou_o need_v seek_v no_o further_a and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v concern_v the_o principle_n of_o eternal_a nature_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o four_o general_a head_n or_o the_o last_o part_n of_o this_o discourse_n concern_v god_n introduce_v of_o himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n the_o end_n of_o the_o three_o part._n soli_fw-la sapienti_fw-la deo_fw-la gloria_fw-la the_o four_o part._n concern_v god_n in_o eternal_a nature_n the_o mystical_a divine_n do_v make_v mention_n of_o two_o great_a mystery_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o first_o be_v the_o trinity_n in_o unity_n and_o unity_n in_o trinity_n which_o respect_n the_o deity_n in_o their_o single_a solitary_a and_o abstract_a essence_n the_o second_o mystery_n be_v the_o deity_n in_o humanity_n and_o humanity_n in_o the_o deity_n which_o concern_v god_n as_o be_v introduce_v and_o subsist_v in_o eternal_a nature_n i_o have_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o discourse_n treat_v of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o and_o do_v now_o intend_v in_o this_o chapter_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o late_a and_o that_o by_o open_v this_o proposition_n that_o god_n have_v introduce_v himself_o into_o the_o principle_n of_o eternal_a nature_n which_o proposition_n you_o will_v find_v explain_v in_o these_o follow_a particular_n 1._o in_o the_o first_o place_n when_o i_o say_v that_o god_n have_v introduce_v himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n i_o understand_v that_o the_o bless_a trinity_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n have_v introduce_v themselves_o into_o eternal_a nature_n the_o father_n with_o his_o intellectual_a all_o see_a eye_n the_o son_n with_o his_o all_o flame_a heart_n of_o love_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o his_o outflowing_a act_v power_n 2._o second_o when_o i_o say_v that_o god_n introduce_v himself_o etc._n etc._n i_o do_v include_v the_o eternal_a wisdom_n which_o god_n introduce_v together_o with_o himself_o into_o the_o principle_n of_o eternal_a nature_n 3._o in_o the_o three_o place_n god_n introduce_v himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n together_o with_o his_o essential_a love_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a nature_n of_o the_o trinity_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n john_n god_n be_v love_n object_n but_o some_o may_v object_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o love_n but_o also_o in_o light_n and_o life_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a trinity_n as_o well_o as_o love_n sol._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o love_n in_o the_o sense_n i_o take_v it_o do_v include_v both_o light_n and_o life_n for_o this_o essential_a love_n be_v all_o light_n and_o all_o life_n so_o that_o neither_o death_n nor_o darkness_n can_v come_v near_o it_o now_o we_o must_v know_v that_o this_o essential_a love_n be_v the_o unchangeable_a nature_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v change_v by_o be_v bring_v into_o and_o clothe_v upon_o with_o eternal_a nature_n and_o from_o love_n turn_v to_o wrath_n or_o from_o meekness_n to_o severity_n no_o by_o no_o mean_n for_o as_o god_n be_v all_o love_n in_o himself_o so_o he_o be_v the_o same_o in_o eternal_a nature_n quest._n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v reconcile_v with_o scripture_n which_o attribute_n wrath_n anger_n severity_n and_o justice_n to_o god_n ans._n i_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n anger_n wrath_n and_o severity_n it_o have_v regard_n to_o god_n manifest_v of_o himself_o in_o and_o through_o eternal_a nature_n as_o it_o be_v infect_v and_o defile_v by_o sin_n whereas_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n in_o nature_n be_v all_o love_n i_o speak_v of_o nature_n in_o its_o purity_n before_o it_o be_v infect_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o lucifer_n and_o when_o all_o its_o form_n and_o property_n be_v harmonize_v to_o the_o most_o penfect_a concord_n and_o unity_n for_o in_o this_o state_n nothing_o but_o love_n which_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a nature_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n 4._o in_o the_o last_o place_n i_o say_v god_n introduce_v the_o seven_o spirit_n before_o the_o throne_n together_o with_o himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n else_o these_o seven_o spirit_n can_v never_o have_v be_v see_v or_o manifest_v in_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n but_o the_o scripture_n oft_o make_v mention_n of_o they_o as_o introduce_v into_o eternal_a nature_n so_o they_o be_v represent_v to_o john_n in_o the_o first_o chap._n of_o the_o revelation_n as_o exist_v in_o mount-zion_n or_o the_o new_a jerusalem-principle_n which_o be_v bring_v forth_o out_o of_o eternal_a nature_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o first_o part_n or_o subject_n of_o this_o proposition_n which_o be_v god_n we_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o predicate_v which_o be_v eternal_a nature_n 2._o now_o by_o eternal_a nature_n into_o which_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v introduce_v himself_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v eternal_a nature_n in_o its_o puriey_n not_o as_o defile_v with_o sin_n for_o the_o holy_a trinity_n will_v never_o of_o their_o own_o freewill_n have_v introduce_v themselves_o into_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v defile_v or_o impure_a again_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o when_o gnd_v introduce_v himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n that_o she_o stand_v yet_o in_o her_o original_a unity_n simplicity_n and_o harmony_n without_o any_o duality_n or_o contrariety_n for_o the_o holy_a trinity_n will_v never_o have_v enter_v with_o their_o divine_a nature_n of_o love_n into_o that_o where_o division_n disagreement_n and_o contrariety_n have_v take_v place_n no_o eternal_a nature_n be_v without_o strife_n or_o contest_v without_o any_o mixture_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a or_o light_n and_o darkness_n but_o be_v all_o perfect_o harmonize_v or_o else_o the_o bless_a trinity_n can_v not_o have_v make_v it_o the_o habitation_n of_o their_o divine_a love-essence_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o what_o sense_n we_o be_v to_o take_v eternal_a nature_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n introduce_v himself_o into_o it_o 3._o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o particular_a in_o the_o forego_n proposition_n which_o may_v need_v some_o explication_n which_o be_v the_o word_n introduce_v how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o in_o what_o sense_n we_o be_v to_o take_v it_o in_o this_o place_n when_o we_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a trinity_n have_v introduce_v themselves_o into_o eternal_a nature_n we_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o union_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n with_o eternal_a nature_n and_o eternal_a nature_n union_n with_o the_o bless_a trinity_n which_o be_v the_o full_a meaning_n of_o god_n introduction_n of_o himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n here_o the_o deity_n subsist'_v in_o its_o eternal_a humanity_n and_o eternal_a humanity_n subsist'_v in_o union_n with_o the_o deity_n god_n in_o nature_n and_o nature_n in_o god_n and_o thus_o god_n and_o nature_n be_v in_o one_o another_o because_o god_n have_v introduce_v his_o divine_a nature_n of_o love_n into_o eternal_a nature_n pure_a principle_n the_o nature_n of_o which_o union_n i_o shall_v explain_v and_o open_v to_o you_o in_o these_o follow_a particular_n 1._o first_o than_o i_o say_v that_o this_o union_n of_o god_n with_o eternal_a nature_n be_v a_o true_a real_a essential_a and_o most_o intimate_a union_n in_o every_o union_n these_o three_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o meet_v together_o viz._n the_o uniter_fw-la the_o thing_n united_n and_o the_o union_n itself_o which_o join_v the_o uniter_fw-la and_o united_n together_o in_o this_o union_n of_o god_n with_o eternal_a nature_n the_o vniter_fw-la be_v the_o bless_a trinity_n the_o thing_n unite_v be_v the_o principle_n of_o eternal_a nature_n and_o the_o union_n of_o they_o both_o be_v the_o divine_a nature_n of_o love_n now_o this_o love_n which_o be_v the_o link_n and_o tie_v of_o both_o the_o uniter_fw-la and_o united_n be_v the_o essential_a love_n of_o the_o deity_n wherefore_o this_o union_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o essential_a and_o most_o intimate_a union_n it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o incorporation_n the_o vniter_fw-la and_o unite_v penetrate_a and_o mix_v with_o one_o another_o and_o therefore_o
