the Eternal Word in the Wisdom make Man in his own Image and breathed into him the Breath of Life and he became a living Soul and the Lord God filled him with Wisdom and Understanding and gave him Dominion over all the Works of his Hands and Man in the Wisdom of God ruled over them all he stood in the Wisdom and received Counsel and had his Way in the Holy Life he walked in the Paradise of Pleasure and fed upon the Tree of Life he lived in still communion with his God and his living Soul stood in his living Virtue and the Breath of Life was alwayes reaching to it he was in the pure Oneness with God that made him and the Image of the Holy Life was upon him and he was in the Power Wisdom and Strength of God and bare the Image in Righteousness and true Holiness without any mixture and all things stood clear in the Separation as they were created and there was no mixture to defile Then did the Wisdom behold his Work and lo it was very good in his sight and he had great pleasure and delight therein and his Mercy Love Goodness and Tenderness was to it and his Blessings and Peace was upon it and Man enjoyed the living Presence of his Maker and did partake of his Love Mercy Blessing and Peace he had a free course unto the Well-spring of Life and there was nothing stood in his way to let him so the Breath of Life was breathed and in it the Soul lived and was in perfect unity with it and this came into Man through the Wisdom of the Creator according to his own pleasure and as it seemed good in his own sight it was not a thing from without but the pure operation of the Power and Wisdom within after he had formed an earthly Body and brought forth a visible Creation that he might fill it with his heavenly Treasure and with his Holy Life which in his Wisdom he breathed into it and brought forth the Man in his own Image and there was no mixture in his Life and Being which is the earthly bodies Nature and it is a Compounded Vessel yet so prepared and formed in the Wisdom as to be a Vessel for the Incorruptible Image of Life which had its course through it and filled it with its heavenly Being and there was no mixture of the Earthly in it And this was the Man that was made after God in Righteousness and true Holiness and bare his Image in perfect Glory and the Body was prepared to be a Vessel fit for his own use who made it that he might fill it with his Pure Holy Life which he breathed into it in his Wisdom whereby Man became a living Soul and bare the Heavenly Image and here Man stood in obedience to the Father of Spirits who had made him a spiritual holy righteous Man and fed him with spiritual holy Food and Man had no will nor desire after any Creature but stood in the Eternal Will and ruled over all the Creatures and his desire was to enjoy the Holy Life in which he was generated and brought forth and what he desired to partake of in the Life it was ministred unto him according to the good Pleasure of the Creator in whom he had his Life and Breath and lived in the pure Enjoyment of the Eternal Being in which he was daily comforted and continually satisfied and in this state no Sin or Evil was committed by him nor no Curse reached him nor no Death was upon him nor no Grave did hold him nor no Wrath went forth against him but in the Mercy he liued and Mercy was his portion and his delight was in his Maker and with him he walked day and night and he had Liberty in Paradise without Restraint and the Tree of Life he had free course unto and the Cherubims and flaming Sword were not set to fence it So was Man created in Righteousness and served God in Righteousness and lived in the Life of Righteousness and he was not in the mixture of any Unrighteous thing but was created in the Wisdom of God and bare the Image of God which drew its Breath and Life from the holy Fountain of its Generation and stood in the Eternal Essence of the Divine Nature and so did the Everlasting God of Wisdom Power and Strength bring forth his own Work in which his own Name was glorified and then he rested from ill the Works that he had made CHAP. II. The state of Man in the Degeneration and also the Serpents Working VVHen the Pure Creation was finished in the Eternal Power and Wisdom it rested in the Holy Order of Life and was in the Pure Harmony and Oneness with the Creator and there should have rested in the Holy Order and not have moved ●●t in the Power and Wisdom of Life but there was a part which did not keep its station but moved out of the Wisdom and wake the Order and did aspire towards the Equallity of the Holy Essence for which cause it was cast down by the Power and driven into the lowest parts of the Creation and was there to have its place and habitation at the furthest distance from God and his Anger kindled against it and he drove it down in his Anger and his Wrath abides upon it and it is sealed down in the Anger and Wrath without recovery and this is the place of that part which kept not in the holy Order of the pure Creation but aspired to have been equal with the Power and his name is Serpent the Devil and his place is Hell the bottomless Pit where the Almighty God exerciseth his Wrath without ceasing because through the Aspiring the Creation went out of its holy Order in which it was created good and in which it should have rested with God and have had its Order in his Power and Wisdom and when this Aspiring Part was cast down into the Lowest Part it became beastly carthly sensual and devilish and was more subtil than any Beast of the Field and having now lost his place in the Pure Creation and cast down in the Separation where the Almighties Wrath was exercised upon him without ceasing and he was alwayes in the Torment of the Anger and Wrath which sealed him down without recovery then did he labour with his Subtilty to draw out of order that which yet did keep its station and order and to beget a motion out of the moving of the Power and the Lord God having given a Command unto Man in the day that he put him into Paradise and charged him Not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt dye saith the Lord God which the Serpent knowing and having in his fall seen through the Creation he attempted the Woman because she was nearest unto Man being given as one meet to be an help unto him and being also the weaker part of the Creation
