A64768	Magia adamica or the antiquitie of magic, and the descent thereof from Adam downwards, proved. Whereunto is added a perfect, and full discoverie of the true cœlum terræ, or the magician's heavenly chaos, and first matter of all things. By Eugenius Philalethes.	Vaughan, Thomas, 1622-1666.	1650 (1650)	Wing V151; ESTC R203905	72,517	175

this_o mystery_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v several_a way_n and_o that_o because_o of_o its_o several_a subject_n the_o primitive_a original_a existence_n of_o it_o be_v in_o god_n himself_o for_o it_o

for_o we_o unless_o we_o can_v look_v into_o that_o glass_n where_o all_o occurrence_n may_v be_v see_v past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v i_o must_v therefore_o build_v my_o discourse_n on_o the_o

be_v not_o my_o intention_n to_o rest_n on_o these_o rabbin_n as_o fundamental_n but_o i_o will_v justify_v their_o assertion_n out_o of_o scripture_n and_o entertain_v my_o reader_n with_o proof_n both_o divine_a and_o human_a final_o i_o will_v pass_v out_o of_o judaea_n into_o egypt_n and_o graece_fw-la where_o again_o i_o shall_v meet_v with_o these_o mystery_n and_o prove_v that_o this_o

the_o ground_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v curse_v and_o this_o indeed_o be_v accomplish_v in_o some_o sense_n after_o the_o flood_n as_o the_o same_o scripture_n tell_v we_o and_o 25._o the_o lord_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n i_o will_v not_o again_o curse_v the_o ground_n any_o more_o for_o man_n sake_n here_o now_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o curse_n itself_o and_o next_o the_o latitude_n of_o it_o to_o manifest_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o curse_n and_o what_o it_o be_v you_o must_v know_v that_o good_a essential_o be_v light_n and_o evil_n be_v darkness_n the_o evil_n proper_o be_v a_o corruption_n that_o immediate_o take_v place_n upon_o the_o removal_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a thus_o god_n have_v remove_v his_o candlestick_n and_o light_n from_o the_o element_n present_o the_o darkness_n and_o cold_a of_o the_o matter_n praevail_v so_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v near_o her_o first_o deformity_n and_o by_o consequence_n less_o fruitful_a and_o vital_a heaven_n and_o hell_n that_o be_v light_n and_o darkness_n be_v the_o two_o extreme_n which_o consummate_a good_a and_o evil_a but_o there_o be_v some_o mean_a blessing_n which_o be_v but_o in_fw-la ordine_fw-la or_o dispose_v to_o heaven_n which_o be_v their_o last_o perfection_n and_o such_o be_v these_o blessing_n which_o god_n recall_v upon_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o first_o man_n again_o there_o be_v some_o evil_n which_o be_v but_o but_o degree_n conduce_v to_o their_o last_o extremity_n or_o hell_n and_o such_o be_v this_o curse_n or_o evil_n which_o succeed_v the_o transgression_n thus_o our_o saviour_n under_o these_o notion_n of_o bless_a and_o curse_a comprehend_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o light_n and_o darkness_n come_v you_o bless_v and_o go_v you_o curse_v in_o a_o word_n then_o the_o curse_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o act_n repeal_v or_o a_o restraint_n of_o those_o blessing_n which_o god_n of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n have_v former_o communicate_v to_o his_o creature_n and_o thus_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v a_o very_a fair_a and_o

knowledge_n which_o make_v he_o sinful_a and_o altogether_o unlike_o he_o for_o god_n if_o i_o may_v so_o express_v it_o know_v the_o evil_n only_o speculative_o in_o asmuch_o as_o nothing_o can_v escape_v his_o knowledge_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o evil_n for_o as_o tritemius_fw-la have_v well_o observe_v scientia_fw-la mali_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la malum_fw-la sed_fw-la usus_fw-la the_o knowledge_n of_o evil_n be_v not_o evil_a but_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o it_o remain_v then_o that_o this_o speech_n concern_v the_o second_o adam_n christ_n jesus_n who_o know_v the_o evil_n but_o do_v not_o commit_v it_o and_o therefore_o be_v like_o one_o of_o we_o that_o be_v like_o one_o of_o the_o trinity_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a and_o yet_o no_o way_n guilty_a of_o the_o evil_n this_o primitive_a and_o compendious_a gospel_n be_v no_o soon_o impart_v to_o the_o angel_n but_o they_o become_v minister_n of_o it_o the_o law_n as_o st._n paul_n say_v be_v ordain_v in_o their_o hand_n till_o christ_n shall_v take_v it_o into_o his_o own_o and_o their_o administration_n to_o man_n take_v beginning_n with_o this_o oracle_n thus_o say_v the_o cabalist_n raziel_n the_o angel_n be_v present_o dispatch_v to_o communicate_v the_o intelligence_n to_o adam_n and_o to_o acquaint_v he_o with_o the_o mystery_n of_o both_o world_n eternal_a and_o temporal_a for_o as_o he_o can_v not_o obtain_v the_o blessing_n of_o the_o eternal_a world_n unless_o by_o a_o true_a faith_n he_o apprehend_v the_o three_o eternal_a principle_n of_o it_o so_o neither_o can_v he_o full_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o this_o temporal_a world_n unless_o he_o true_o understand_v the_o three_o visible_a substance_n whereof_o it_o consist_v for_o there_o be_v three_o above_o and_o three_o beneath_o three_o as_o st._n john_n say_v in_o heaven_n and_o three_o on_o earth_n the_o inferior_a bear_n witness_n of_o the_o superior_a and_o be_v their_o only_a proper_a receptacle_n they_o be_v signature_n and_o create_a book_n where_o we_o may_v read_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o supernatural_a trinity_n but_o to_o proceed_v in_o our_o former_a discourse_n the_o cabalist_n do_v not_o only_o attribute_v a_o guardian_n to_o adam_n but_o to_o every_o one_o of_o the_o patriarch_n allow_v they_o their_o precedent_n and_o tutor_n both_o to_o assist_v and_o instruct_v they_o in_o their_o wearisome_a and_o worldly_a peregrination_n a_o doctrine_n in_o my_o opinion_n not_o more_o religious_a than_o necessary_a how_o prodigious_a soever_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o some_o fantastic_a insipid_a theologician_n for_o certain_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o find_v out_o mystery_n of_o ourselves_o we_o must_v either_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o the_o instruction_n of_o his_o minister_n whereher_n they_o be_v man_n or_o angel_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v out_o of_o the_o tradition_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o jew_n how_o their_o cabala_n and_o our_o magic_n come_v first_o into_o the_o world_n i_o shall_v now_o examine_v the_o scripture_n and_o consult_v with_o they_o where_o if_o i_o be_o not_o much_o mistake_v i_o shall_v find_v some_o consequence_n which_o must_v needs_o depend_v on_o these_o principle_n and_o thus_o i_o apply_v myself_o to_o the_o task_n the_o first_o harvest_n i_o read_v of_o be_v that_o of_o cain_n and_o the_o first_o flock_n those_o of_o abel_n a_o shepherd_n life_n in_o those_o early_a day_n be_v no_o difficult_a profession_n it_o be_v a_o employment_n of_o more_o care_n than_o art_n but_o how_o the_o earth_n be_v plough_v up_o

they_o attend_v both_o to_o the_o altar_n and_o the_o first_o blood_n be_v shed_v by_o sacrifice_n the_o second_o by_o murder_n now_o so_o dull_a be_o i_o and_o so_o short_a of_o syllogism_n those_o

to_o know_v how_o come_v they_o first_o to_o sacrifice_n and_o by_o who_o be_v they_o initiate_v if_o you_o will_v say_v by_o adam_n the_o question_n indeed_o be_v defer_v but_o not_o satisfy_v for_o i_o will_v know_v further_o in_o what_o school_n be_v adam_n instruct_v now_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o invent_v these_o shadow_n and_o sacrament_n of_o himself_o i_o will_v undertake_v to_o demonstrate_v and_o that_o by_o invincible_a reason_n which_o no_o adversary_n shall_v dare_v to_o contradict_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o hope_n and_o expectation_n of_o man_n in_o matter_n of_o sacrifice_n consist_v in_o the_o thing_n signisy_v and_o not_o in_o the_o sign_n itself_o for_o the_o material_a corruptible_a shadow_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n but_o the_o spiritual_a eternal_a prototype_n which_o answer_v to_o it_o and_o make_v the_o dead_a figure_n effectual_a the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o element_n of_o the_o

all_o it_o be_v plain_a than_o that_o sacrifice_n be_v first_o institute_v upon_o supernatural_a ground_n for_o in_o nature_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v find_v why_o god_n shall_v be_v

but_o from_o the_o displeasure_n of_o the_o creator_n i_o know_v the_o learned_a alkind_n build_v the_o efficacy_n of_o sacrifice_n on_o a_o sympathy_n of_o part_n with_o the_o great_a world_n for_o there_o be_v in_o every_o animal_n a_o portion_n of_o the_o star-fire_n which_o fire_n upon_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o compound_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o general_n fire_n from_o whence_o it_o first_o come_v and_o produce_v a_o sense_n or_o motion_n in_o the_o limbus_n to_o which_o it_o be_v unite_v this_o indeed_o be_v true_a but_o that_o motion_n cause_v no_o joy_n there_o and_o by_o consequence_n no_o reward_n to_o the_o sacrificer_n for_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o to_o appear_v elsewhere_o that_o the_o astral_a mother_n do_v mourn_v and_o not_o rejoice_v at_o the_o death_n of_o her_o child_n now_o if_o we_o look_v back_o on_o these_o two_o first_o sacrificer_n we_o shall_v find_v abel_n and_o his_o oblation_n accept_v which_o can_v not_o be_v have_v he_o not_o offer_v it_o up_o as_o a_o symbol_n or_o figure_n of_o his_o saviour_n to_o drive_v home_o my_o argument_n then_o i_o say_v that_o this_o knowledge_n of_o the_o type_n in_o who_o all_o offering_n be_v acceptable_a can_v not_o be_v obtain_v by_o any_o human_a industry_n but_o by_o sole_a revelation_n for_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v a_o ordinance_n wrap_v up_o in_o the_o secret_a will_n of_o
