vests be seats of Gods vitality 16 Now deem this universall Round alone And rayes no rayes but a first all-spred light And centrick all like one pellucid Sun A Sun that 's free not bound by Natures might That where he lists exerts his rayes outright Both when he lists and what and eke how long And then retracts so as he thinketh meet These rayes be that particular creature-throng Their number none can tell but that all-making tongue 17 Now blundring Naturalist behold the spring Of thy deep-searching soul that fain would know Whether a mortall or immortall thing It be and whence at first it 'gan to flow And that which chiefest is where it must go Some fixt necessity thou fain wouldst find But no necessity where there 's no law But the good pleasure of an unty'd mind Therefore thy God seek out and leave Nature behind 18 He kills He makes alive the keys of Hell And Death he hath He can keep souls to wo When cruell hands of Fate them hence expell Or He in Lethe's lake can drench them so That they no act of life or sense can show They march out at His word and they retreat March out with joy retreat with footing flow In gloomy shade benumm'd with pallid sweat And with their feeble wings their fainting breasts they beat 19 But souls that of his own good life partake He loves as his own self dear as His eye They are to Him He 'll never them forsake When they shall dye then God himself shall die They live they live in blest Eternity The wicked are not so but like the dirt Trampled by man and beast in grave they lye Filth and corruption is their rufull sort Themselves with death and wormes in darknesse they disport 20 Their rotten relicks lurk close under ground With living w●ight no sense or sympathy They have at all nor hollow thundring sound Of roring winds that cold mortality Can ●ake ywrapt in sad Fatality To horses hoof that beats his grassie dore He answers not The Moon in silency Doth passe by night and all bedew him or'e With her cold humid rayes but he feels not Heavens power 21 O dolefull lot of disobedience If God should souls thus drench in Lethe lake But O unspeakable torture of sense When sinfull souls do life and sense partake That those damn'd Spirits may them anvils make Of their fell cruelty that lay such blows That very ruth doth make my heart to quake When I consider of the dre●y woes And tearing torment that each soul then undergoes 22 Hence the souls nature we may plainly see A beam it is of th' Intellectuall Sun A ray indeed of that Aeternity But such a ray as when it first out shone From a free light its shining date begun And that same light when 't list can call it in Yet that free light hath given a free wonne To this dependent ray Hence comethsin From sin dred Death and Hell these wages doth it win 23 Each life a severall ray is from that Sphear That Sphear doth every life in it contain Arachne Semel and the rest do bear Their proper virtue and with one joynt strain And powerfull sway they make impression plain And all their rayes be joyned into one By Ahad so this womb withouten pain Doth flocks of souls send out that have their won Where they list most to graze as I shall tell anon 24 The countrey where they live Psychania hight Great Psychany that hath so mighty bounds If bounds it have at all So infinite It is of bignesse that it me confounds To think to what a vastnesse it amounds The Sun Saturnus Saturn the Earth exceeds The Earth the Moon but all those fixed Rounds But Psychany those fixed Rounds exceeds As farre as those fix'd Rounds excell small mustard-seeds 25 Two mighty Kingdomes hath this Psychany The one self-feeling Autaesthesia The other hight god-like Theoprepy Autaesthesy's divided into tway One province cleped is great Adamah Which also hight Beirah of brutish fashion The other Providence is Dizoia There you may see much mungrill transformation Such monstrous shapes proceed from Niles foul inundation 26 Great Michael ruleth Theoprepia A mighty Prince King of Autaesthesy Is that great Giant who bears mighty sway Father of Discord Falshood Tyranny His name is Daemon not from Sciency Although he boasteth much of skilfull pride But he 's the fount of foul duality That wicked witch Duessa is his bride From his dividing force this name to him betide 27 Or for that he himself is quite divided Down to the belly there 's some unity But head and tongue and heart be quite discided Two heads two tongues and eke two hearts there be This head doth mischief plot that head doth see Wrong fairly to o'reguild One tongue doth pray The other curse The hearts do ne're agree But felly one another do upbray An ugly cloven foot this monster doth upstay 28 Two sons great Doemon and Duessa hath Autophilus the one ycleeped is In Dizoie he worketh wondrous scath He is the cause what so there goes amisse In Psyches stronger plumed progenies But Philosomatus rules Beirah This proud puft Giant whilom did arise Born of the slime of Autaesthesia And bred up these two sons yborn of Duessa 29 Duessa first invented magick lore And great skill hath to joyn and disunite This herb makes love that hearb makes hatred sore And much she can against an Edomite But nought she can against an Israelite Whose heart 's upright and doth himself forsake For he that 's one with God no magick might Can draw or here or there through blind mistake Magick can onely quell natures Doemoniake 30 But that I may in time my self betake To straighter course few things I will relate Of which old Mnemon mention once did make A jolly Swain he was in youthfull state When he mens natures gan to contemplate And kingdomes view But he was aged then When I him saw his years bore a great date He numbred had full ten times ten times ten There 's no Pythagorist but knows well what I mean 31 Old Mnemons head and beard was hoary white But yet a chearfull countenance he had His vigorous eyes did shine like starres bright And in good decent freez he was yclad As blith and buxom as was any lad Of one and twenty cloth'd in forrest green Both blith he was and eke of counsell sad Like winter-morn bedight with snow and rine And sunny rayes so did his goodly Eldship shine 32 Of many famous towns in Beïrah And many famous Laws and uncouth Rites He spake but vain it is for to assay To reckon up such numbers infinite And much he spake where I had no insight But well I wot that some there present had For words to speak to uncapable wight Of foolishnesse proceeds or phrensie mad So alwayes some I wis could trace his speeches pad 33 But that which I do now remember best Is that which he of Psittacusa lond Did
