we_o have_v very_o exact_o explain_v it_o in_o the_o threefoldlife_n three_o book_n 7._o and_o since_o we_o see_v and_o know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o only_a light_n and_o majesty_n but_o also_o darkness_n as_o be_v plain_a before_o our_o eye_n 8._o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o know_v from_o whence_o darkness_n originate_v for_o in_o the_o eternity_n without_o or_o beside_o nature_n no_o darkness_n can_v be_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v afford_v it_o we_o must_v only_o look_v into_o the_o will_n and_o into_o the_o desire_v for_o a_o desire_v be_v a_o attract_v 9_o and_o whereas_o yet_o in_o the_o eternity_n it_o have_v nothing_o but_o only_o itself_o it_o attract_v itself_o in_o the_o will_n and_o make_v the_o will_v fall_v and_o that_o be_v its_o darkness_n 10._o whereas_o otherwise_o if_o it_o be_v not_o desirous_a it_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o a_o eternal_a stillness_n without_o be_v or_o substance_n the_o attract_v therefore_o make_v mobility_n and_o essence_n which_o otherwise_o in_o the_o stillness_n can_v be_v and_o therefore_o also_o it_o make_v austere_a astringency_n hardness_n and_o grossness_n as_o also_o sharpness_n 11._o yet_o we_o can_v say_v neither_o that_o the_o darkness_n swallow_v up_o the_o light_n viz._n the_o eternal_a liberty_n for_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a suffer_v not_o itself_o to_o be_v alter_v or_o change_v but_o we_o must_v say_v that_o light_n and_o darkness_n be_v in_o one_o another_o 12._o now_o the_o light_n be_v good_a and_o have_v pleasant_a virtue_n or_o power_n and_o the_o darkness_n have_v austere_a or_o astringent_a hard_a cold_a and_o the_o will_n desire_v make_v essence_n and_o attract_v that_o be_v a_o stir_v in_o the_o hardness_n thus_o the_o attract_a stir_v from_o the_o draw_v and_o be_v a_o whirl_a whereby_o in_o the_o sharpness_n light_n and_o darkness_n become_v mingle_v 13._o and_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v how_o the_o free_a light_n in_o the_o sharp_a stir_v in_o the_o substance_n be_v also_o sharpen_a where_o we_o understand_v the_o fire_n flash_n of_o lightning_n and_o the_o earnest_a severity_n and_o yet_o can_v say_v that_o any_o rend_n asunder_o be_v there_o 14._o for_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a from_o no_o beginning_n have_v no_o part_n of_o one_o from_o another_o but_o stand_v as_o a_o looking-glass_n wheel_n that_o generate_v itself_o in_o itself_o as_o you_o have_v a_o similitude_n of_o it_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n where_o there_o be_v indeed_o a_o will_n of_o rise_v and_o fly_v but_o no_o depart_v away_o and_o the_o great_a the_o will_n be_v the_o great_a also_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o the_o more_o express_v potent_a be_v the_o matter_n or_o the_o thing_n represent_v see_v it_o be_v sharpen_v 15._o thus_o see_v the_o still_a liberty_n which_o be_v neither_o light_n nor_o darkness_n become_v sharpen_v in_o the_o sharp_a desire_v &_o attract_v so_o that_o it_o appear_v as_o a_o flash_n of_o lightning_n that_o shine_v 16._o therefore_o also_o we_o can_v say_v that_o the_o liberty_n hold_v or_o captivate_v the_o light_n for_o from_o eternity_n it_o have_v have_v nothing_o but_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o the_o light_n and_o the_o glance_n shine_v in_o the_o liberty_n 17._o for_o that_o which_o be_v transparent_a free_a let_v in_o the_o light_n but_o that_o which_o be_v not_o free_a as_o the_o harsh_a or_o austere_a astringency_n which_o make_v darkness_n and_o be_v material_a speak_v after_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n that_o receive_v not_o the_o light_n 18._o but_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o which_o be_v meek_a and_o not_o hold_v or_o contract_n receive_v the_o light_n as_o you_o see_v in_o water_n

the_o devil_n and_o what_o propriety_n or_o part_n he_o have_v in_o it_o it_o go_v not_o naked_a unless_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n conduct_v it_o so_o that_o it_o have_v he_o for_o a_o shield_n or_o defence_n so_o that_o the_o devil_n suttlety_n can_v press_v or_o slip_v into_o it_o 25._o it_o make_v no_o wonder_n unless_o god_n spirit_n awaken_v or_o stir_v it_o up_o it_o give_v god_n the_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o attribute_v the_o might_n &_o power_n to_o he_o it_o do_v as_o a_o humble_a child_n and_o remain_v stand_v under_o the_o cross_n and_o let_v the_o

the_o devil_n can_v do_v nothing_o to_o that_o soul_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v dead_a to_o he_o he_o may_v with_o his_o turba_n in_o the_o earthly_a life_n with_o his_o helper_n and_o instrument_n

spirit_n and_o will_v fain_o be_v above_o god_n wonder_n but_o a_o humility_n can_v bind_v he_o or_o subdue_v he_o 27._o in_o such_o a_o manner_n may_v every_o man_n escape_v the_o false_a and_o wicked_a magus_n and_o also_o the_o necromancer_n for_o no_o power_n take_v hold_v on_o they_o where_o god_n dwell_v as_o christ_n 14._o in_o his_o death_n overcome_v the_o devil_n and_o death_n so_o also_o we_o in_o christ_n for_o the_o word_n that_o become_v man_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o in_o that_o word_n we_o can_v rule_v over_o the_o devil_n and_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o hindrance_n 28._o thus_o we_o give_v you_o for_o a_o answer_n upon_o this_o question_n that_o the_o soul_n in_o its_o original_a be_v great_o powerful_a it_o be_v able_a and_o can_v do_v much_o but_o only_o in_o that_o principle_n into_o which_o it_o look_v or_o stand_v be_v its_o power_n and_o might_n for_o the_o devil_n can_v rule_v over_o god_n its_o might_n or_o power_n be_v not_o give_v to_o it_o as_o a_o king_n give_v may_v power_n authority_n or_o favour_n to_o any_o but_o it_o stand_v in_o natures-right_a therefore_o we_o be_v child_n of_o the_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n and_o inherit_v his_o good_n in_o the_o omnipotency_n the_o seven_o question_n whether_o the_o soul_n be_v corporeal_a or_o not_o corporeal_a 1._o a_o thing_n which_o be_v from_o no_o beginning_n have_v also_o nothing_o that_o can_v give_v it_o any_o thing_n and_o if_o it_o be_v something_o it_o must_v seek_v the_o beginning_n in_o itself_o for_o every_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o the_o deep_a abyss_n of_o its_o substance_n but_o if_o it_o must_v make_v the_o substance_n to_o itself_o it_o can_v dwell_v in_o nothing_o that_o be_v strange_a to_o it_o but_o in_o itself_o in_o its_o own_o substance_n 2._o when_o god_n create_v the_o soul_n the_o holy_a spirit_n surround_v it_o with_o the_o tincture_n for_o it_o stand_v therein_o as_o to_o one_o part_n in_o itself_o it_o be_v raw_a or_o red_a as_o the_o glow_a of_o the_o fire_n be_v raw_a or_o red_a and_o be_v surround_v with_o the_o tincture_n 3._o as_o you_o understand_v that_o from_o the_o warmth_n the_o grow_a exi_v that_o be_v a_o drive_v of_o the_o tincture_n which_o drive_v the_o twig_n or_o branch_n out_o from_o the_o root_n viz._n out_o of_o the_o same_o fire_n be_v it_o cold_a or_o hot_a 4._o for_o the_o darkness_n have_v a_o cold_a fire_n so_o long_o till_o it_o reach_v the_o anguish_n and_o then_o it_o kindle_v itself_o in_o the_o hot_a as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o a_o herb_n if_o it_o come_v into_o another_o quality_n 5._o thus_o we_o give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o tincture_n be_v the_o right_a and_o true_a soul_n body_n for_o the_o soul_n be_v fire_n and_o the_o tincture_n go_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o fire_n which_o the_o fire_n draw_v again_o to_o itself_o and_o meekn_v or_o allay_v itself_o therewith_o so_o that_o the_o fierce_a wrathful_a source_n or_o quality_n extinguish_v 6._o thus_o the_o tincture_n stand_v in_o meekness_n and_o it_o have_v no_o substance_n or_o might_n or_o power_n in_o itself_o but_o the_o water_n be_v its_o might_n or_o power_n there_o come_v out_o of_o the_o meekness_n of_o the_o tincture_n water_n to_o be_v 7._o for_o the_o fire_n be_v desirous_a and_o where_o there_o be_v a_o desire_v of_o the_o original_a there_o be_v also_o a_o find_n of_o the_o original_a thus_o the_o fire_n find_v in_o the_o tincture_n water_n and_o turn_v that_o into_o sulphur_n according_a to_o power_n or_o virtue_n of_o all_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v a_o water_n of_o life_n 8._o for_o the_o tincture_n drive_v up_o in_o the_o water_n as_o a_o sprout_n and_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o abyss_n cause_v that_o 9_o thus_o be_v the_o water_n in_o the_o sulphur_n of_o the_o seven_o spirit_n change_v into_o the_o mystery_n and_o the_o great_a areanum_fw-la or_o secret_n lie_v therein_o whatsoever_o god_n and_o the_o eternity_n can_v do_v thus_o the_o mystery_n contain_v two_o form_n viz._n fire_n &_o water_n and_o wondelt_n change_v itself_o according_a to_o both_o viz._n according_a to_o the_o fire_n into_o red_a and_o according_a to_o the_o tincture_n into_o white_a so_o that_o a_o clear_a shine_a or_o glance_n exi_v from_o the_o fire_n so_o that_o the_o life_n see_v or_o know_v itself_o out_o of_o which_o reason_n and_o thought_n

viz._n a_o house_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o tincture_n be_v its_o body_n 11._o the_o right_a or_o true_a soul_n have_v no_o palpable_a body_n which_o be_v call_v soul_n but_o in_o the_o tincture_n grow_v the_o body_n in_o the_o sulphur_n out_o of_o sulphur_n that_o be_v every_o spirit_n of_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o nature_n desire_v substantiality_n which_o be_v together_o

conceive_v and_o generate_v or_o bear_v 14._o and_o the_o tincture_n be_v the_o grow_v of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o original_a of_o the_o spirit_n through_o the_o tincture_n for_o in_o the_o tincture_n the_o soul_n spirit_n take_v its_o original_a which_o viz._n the_o right_a true_a image_n figure_v according_a to_o god_n image_n that_o be_v according_a to_o all_o the_o three_o

16._o and_o i_o give_v you_o for_o answer_n that_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o soul_n mere_o and_o pure_o by_o which_o we_o understand_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o fire-globe_n with_o a_o
