Unitie thus were they the true Paradise for the Essential Spirit with the Unity of God was revealed in them who were to work through Gods love in all things But the Devill envied them and with his false Lust deceived the seven Properties of life and perswaded them it would be good for them and they should become wise if the Properties each one according to its kinde would introduce themselves into self-Acceptance then should the Spirit tast and know what was Good and Evill but then it could not subsist in Gods Unity of that he told them nothing But no sooner had they brought themselves in their own lusts than such a strife and contention awakned in them that all the Properties began to be formed in their self-hood Thus the Unity as the Element was broken or divided and the four Elements strove for predominance whereupon suddenly from without fell in the Inequality as Heat and Cold and the Astral division working in the Body and Gods wrath according to the Dark worlds propertie in the Soul which caused in them according to the Soul Horror Anguish Necessity and Eternal despair and in the Body arose Heat Cold Woes Sickness and a Mortal life Thus Gods Image the whole man fell from his Ordinance and became a disguised monster and the awakened Properties presently began to set up their Government with Envying Murthering Raging Tearing and Tormenting Love was changed into Pride and self-love Desire into Covetousness Sensibility into Envy and the lifes fire into wrath Thus was the Hellish foundation in the whole Man revealed and ruled both in Soul Body Now this Hellish Foundation is the Spirit of Errour for which man must have been damned had not the Divine mercy the Serpent-treader as the efflux of Gods love after the fall been presently (c) promised to the New birth in the Holy Name Jesus Which holy Name hath in meer mercy and great humility for mans soul body given it self forth assumed humanity broken the power of the diabolical Spirit of Error killed the lives self-will brought again the Properties into Gods Unity There the true Spirit as the human Idea and Gods Image is renewed again and filled with the Divine Love-Essence And thus the human Soul through Christs Soul and Spirit in that love and divine Essence hath again attain'd an open Gate unto God Thus in this Table is held forth or drawn to the life what Adam hath been what through the Fall he is become and how he is again Redeemed and what is his New-birth out of Christ Spirit And these are delineated in the seven Properties under the Word TINCTUR In which Properties the Soul hath its Center and in which the Spirit and in which the Body have their Centers also of which the Reader may further consider for under them stand the seven Dayes of the week intimating that Man is even the same This Table sheweth what Man is internally and externally first according to the good Adam and then according to the corrupted Adam and also what he is again in Christ Whereby we may understand how Evill and Good is man and whence exist the Propertie of good and evill both in the mind and senses By the word Sathan signifying the Spirit of Errour is not understood a Creaturely-Devill but the Spring or fountain of the Spirit of Error And by the word Christ is understood the New-Man according to the internal in the Spirit of Christ The other spaces are understood as in the other Tables wherein is understood the cause of mutation FINIS (a) Invenible Finditch (b) Good pleasure Beneplacitum (d) Three in one (e) Or sensibilitie Emp●ndligkeit (f) Infassligkeit (g) Pricking (h) Essential (i) Cruciatus Qual (k) Faculties Kraffen (m) Infoldeth Wickeit (n) N●yse Shaue Thus hath this place been before the fall of Lucifer and Adam namely in an equal temperature or Harmony of the 7.

how the Father of himself begetteth the Son and how the Holy Spirit proceedeth from both and yet they be but one Being which hath nothing before it For the Science in the drawing in is understood a Root of the Eternal knowledge or motion Numb. 5. Is God in Trinity signifying that the Tri-une Being may be known as a Similitude of the Will Mind and Senses wherein lyeth the eternal understanding Thus is the Ternarie the one Eternal understanding and cause of all things Numb. 6. Standeth WORD signifying distinction in the understanding as speaking the (e) Perception of it self which word abideth Eternally in God himself and God as the Power of Perception is the Eternal good Numb. 7. Standeth Wisdom signifying the outspoken Word as the power of the Divine Contemplation wherein God to himself is Intelligible Perceptible and Revealed And thus far is God to the Creature Invisible Incomprehensible not Natural nor Creatural Below the line standeth Beginning of the Great Mysterie or of the Eternal Nature As of the Separability Perceptibilitie and Sensibilitie of the Properties wherein is understood the Divine Extrication or Revelation how God introduceth himself in the eternal Nature in Love and Wrath and not in himself for himself is the one Eternal good but without Distinction were not perceptible or manifest Here is to be Noted that the 7. Capitall Forms of Nature are marked to distinguish them from the other Numbers with I. II. III. IV. V. VI VII Numb. 8. The second Principle standeth to the Right And Numb. 9. The first Principle to the left Thus Numb. 9. signifieth the Fathers Propertie through the speaking of the Word in Wrath And the second Numb. 8. signifieth the Sons propertie in Love where the Love of God by the expressed Word is revealed As that in Love Numb. 8. sheweth the Angelicall power-world and that in Wrath Numb. 9. signifieth the Dark power-world of Painfulness wherein God is an Angry God Numb. 10. Standeth Tinctur signifying the Temperature of all powers how there through speaking they go forth in Distinction and Formes as first in the 7. Capital Forms the Desire Science Anguish Fire Love-Fire Sound and Being And further there standeth by every Capital Form what Properties are born and proceed out of themselves For if there must be a speaking then the power must first contract it self that it may breath forth it self then it begetteth that Comprehensive or Magnetick Impression the something which is the Beginning wherein the Fiat which attracteth the powers is understood I. Is the first Capital Form of the spiritual Nature and standeth with Numb. I. Desire which Desire sharpneth it self from whence existeth Sour Hard and the cause of Cold and is the ground of all Saltish properties Spiritual in the Spiritual world and Essential in the External world So also the Desire of Impression is cause of its own overshadowing or Darkness in the Abyss as all these Forms belong to Numb. I. To the desire of (f) Comprehensibility II. By the second Capital Form standeth (g) Compunction or Science signifying the contraction of the Desire where the first enmitie or contrary will ariseth for hardness and motion are not alike Now in this form ariseth moving and feeling as the root of pain wherein is understood the Mercurial Poyson-life both spiritual and (h) corporall and in the Darkness the paine or Torment of the wicked life Neither was the good life without the root of the Evill manifest unto him and that is the root of Gods wrath according to the Perception sensibility of the eternall Nature III. The third Capitall Form is Anguish which ariseth from the desire of Impression and from the Enmitie of Compunction where the will standeth in (i) Torment and is there the cause of feeling and of the five Senses for in the Anguish all Formes grow Painfull and then are they sensible of one-another And here is the Word become distinct and is the root of Sulphur both Spirituall and Essentiall Corporall wherein is rightly understood the Hellish Fire in Darkness in painfull life as appears in the Table downward IV. The fourth Capitall Form is call'd Fire where is Understood the kindling of the Fire from the painfull Sulphurish root for the Will goeth out of Anguish again into Libertie And the Libertie goeth to its Revelation in Anguish In which Conjunction cometh that terrible like a flash of lightning Coruscation where the Abyss as the Eternall good is revealed And is in the Forms of Nature the Understanding and Life in the dark Enmitie and in the Libertie is the root of Joy or rouzing up the (k) Powers and is the kindling of the Fire in which kindling the Abyss becomes a shining Light as Materiall V. The fift form is call'd the Love-Fire where is understood how the Eternall good through kindling the painfull Fire introduceth it self into an elevating burning Love-Fire which Love-Fire was first in God But thus only it (m) windeth up it self that it becomes sensible and moving where in the good Powers are operative VI Standeth Sound or Distinction as the sixt Capitall Form signifying that the Naturall manifested Life where the Eternall Divine Word through the Formes of Nature hath infolded it self and where all the Powers of Wisdom stand in (n) Sound therein standeth the Understanding Life which in Light is Angelicall and Divine but in Darkness it is Diabolicall As at the right Numb. 11. standeth Angell VII Standeth Essence or Essentiall Wisdom of the out-breathed word wherein all other Forms are revealed and is even the Essence of all Forms as good and Divine in the Light but in the Darkness Evill and Devillish And therein is chiefly understood Mysterium Magnum the great Mystery the Angelicall world is also therein understood and likewise the Internall spirituall body of Man which disappeared in Adam when the Souls will departed from Gods will but revived again in Christ that giveth to him for the Essence of this Power-World which is that heavenly flesh Joh. 6.

the fift is the true Spirit When the fift property is revealed out of the Fire then she dwelleth in all the rest and changeth them all into her sweet love that no more painfulness nor Enmity is discerned but even as the day changeth the night In the first 4. Properties is that life like the Devills but when the Lights-power as the second Principle is revealed in the property then is it an Angel liveth in divine power holiness as appeareth in the Num. 5. downwards The sixt Property is the Understanding as the Sound where the properties in the Light stand all in an equality then they rejoyce and the power of the five Senses is manifest and all the properties rejoyce in one another and thus the love of the Unity leadeth it self into working willing sensibility finding and (n) celsitude Thus is there a contrary in the Eternal Nature that the Properties existing therein the love is known and that there might be something to be beloved wherein the Eternal Love of Gods Unity may work and God may be praised For if the properties of life be penetrated with the Divine love-flame then they praise the great love of God yield themselves all again into the Unity of God Such rejoycing knowledge could not be revealed in the Unity did not the Eternal will bring it self into painfull moving properties The Seaventh Property is that Essence wherein all the other are essential wherein they all act as the Soul doth in the Body wherein the Natural Essential Eternal Wisdom of God as the Mysterium Magnum is understood out of which the visible World with its Essence and Creatures did arise Thus by this Table is understood the hidden Spiritual world as the Eternal manifestation of God from whence the Angels and Souls of Men received their existence therefore may they turn themselves to evill or good for both lie in their Center This Spiritual world is no other than Gods revealed Word and hath its being from Eternity to Eternity for therein is Heaven and Hell understood III. TABLE The seven Properties of the visible World or external Nature MACROCOSMUS In this Table is signified how the hidden Spiritual Eternal Word as the Mysterium magnum by the motion of Gods Word issued forth and became visible manifest and Material And how the inward Powers through Gods working have comprehended and fashioned themselves how good and bad in every thing is to be understood and yet there was no evill in Mysterium magnum but existed through the sensibility and assumption of self-desire Here also is shewed what in the working issued forth from every property and which have the predominancy according to which every thing is formed and governed 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Ground of Nature Pure Element Para dise Cold Earth Snow Original of Air Fire of Essence Heaven Light of Nature Starrs Water Saturn Mercury the planet Mars Sol Venus soft Jupiter Luna Sal Mercury thunder Sulphur Flesh Sal-niter Oyl Power Body Black Gray Mixt-colours Red Yellow Green and white within Blew White without within Red and Green Melancholy Collerick Sanguin Phl●gmatick G●ossness of S●one Metal Stone Rust Growing Pearls Jewels Menstruum Lead Quicksilver Iron St●el Gold Copper Tinn Silver Bone Wood Herbs Res●n Tincture in the Earth Swe●t Bitter Grass Sour Poyson 〈◊〉 Opening Healing Srengthning Flesh Stopping Smelling Feeling Seeing Tasting Hearing Loathing of Nature Dying Lying Wrath War Richness Noble Reason Own possession Lord Craft Force Justice Faithfull Truth Simplicitie Stealing Deceiving Losing Finding Earthly Love being friendly Lightminded Obstinate Sad Confounded Senses Careless Constant Pure Jo●full Ignorant Earthly Beastly Evill H●●venly Modest Sensible Low ●olfe Fox Dogg Lyon Bird Ape Great Beasts Worms Venemous Wormes Evill Beasts Good Beasts Flying Beasts Tame Beasts Fish An Explanation of the third Table MACROCOSMUS IN this Table is understood how the hidden spiritual world hath made it self visible and with its own breathing forth hath made it (a) an object where the Eternal Principles are out-flown and the powers therein became co-material For the External Nature is no other than an efflux or object of the Eternal Nature The 4. Elements exist from the first 4 Properties of the Eternal Nature as the Earth and grossness of all Essences of the Dark desire where the other six Properties alwayes became co-material as we may conceive of Metals and Powers good and bad The Air existeth from the motion of the Magnetick Impression The Water from the abruption breaking off of the Impression where Heat and Cold are in Strife the Fire of the spiritual fire The cold is Perceived in the Magnetick sharpness as in the right root to Fire Before the seven Properties above the Table standeth Ground of Nature distributed in the three first Forms And in the fourth and fift Form or propertie is divided the word Pure Element With the word Ground of Nature is understood the root of the 4. Elements as the four causes of Motion and Sensibility By the word Pure Element is understood the Temperature or the equalitie of Nature and the four Elements where the Light also is sensible Moving and Elemental Thus is understood how the Eternal Element as the motion of Divine Power is accuated by the ground of Nature and revealed in the Light where the pure Element is the motion of the inward Spiritual world and at the Creation of the world went forth into a Being and is understood of the fift Essence The word Paradise in the 6. and 7. Properties signifieth the spiritual work in the Lights Essence as a springing up or spiritual growth which at the beginning of the world sprung up through all the 4. Elements and out of the Earth formed it self into all manner of fruits and changed all the properties of wrathfulness into a Temperature But when those fierce properties with the 4. Elements were awakned by the alienated desire and false will in Adam and attain'd the Dominion then the Greening springing forth retyr'd back that is it remayned in the Tincture of the inward Ground and is yet in the 4. Elements but in the Inward Pure Element only and may not be attain'd but in the New-birth of the inner man and in the material Tincture wherein the Paradisical working is also fully manifest to our understanding This Table sheweth from whence all Essences or Beings in this world did arise and what the Creator is namely that the Creator hath been the divine power-world which the (b) Unity as the Eternal will hath moved which will is God himself But the Separator or Divider was the owt-flown will in the spiritual world in such motion he issued out of himself and made him a subject for his working in which motion one subject issued out of another continually untill the external matter of the Earth through the divine motion was drawn into a Mass or Chaos and this drawing of the Motion standeth thus still all things therefore
