NOTHING ALL THINGS AT Number 1. standeth the Abysse the Nothing and All things and there we must begin to Consider what God is in himself without and beyond Nature and Creature and that Consideration of the hidden God goeth on to Number 7. Wisdom whereby is understood how God dwelleth through and through all things and how all existeth from him and yet himself is incomprehensible and as a Nothing to All things and yet makes himself visible perceptible palpable and inventible by and through All things 2. Will of the Abysse At Number 2. standeth the Will of the Abysse and right before it standeth FATHER and on the other side standeth I.E. this signifieth that the Will of the Abysse is the Father of Every being or of all Substances and the I.E. signifieth the Eternal One viz. the Name JESUS proceeding from the Eternal One. 3. Longing Delight or Impression At Number 3. the Longing Delight or the Impression or Contraction of the Will standeth right before which words standeth SONNE and after them standeth H. O. which signifieth how the Own will impresseth or frameth it self into a place for its possession that place is the Generating forth from it self wherein God Generateth God viz. a longing delight or Well pleasingnesse to himself The H. O. is the breathing of the Will whereby the Longing goeth forth 4. Science Root or Mobility At Number 4. standeth Science Root or Mobility and right before it standeth SPIRIT and after it standeth V.A. The Science or Root is the Wills drawing in to be a place for God wherein the Will impresseth the outgone Longing or Delight to be the Sonne or Breathing by the breathing forth of which is understood the Spirit of God And here the Great Name JEHOVA viz. the Tri-Une Substance is understood viz. how the Father generateth his Sonne out of himself and how the Holy Spirit goeth forth from them both and yet they are but One only Substance which hath nothing before it For the Science in the Impression is understood as a Root of the Eternal Skill Knowledge or Mobility 5. God in Trinity At Number 5. standeth God in Trinity signifying the Tri-une Substance whereof a Similitude may be given in the Will Mind and Senses or Thoughts wherein the Eternal Understanding Lyeth for that is the Trinity of the One Eternal Understanding and Cause of Every Beeing 6. WORD At Number 6 standeth WORD signifying the Distinction or Separability in the Understanding viz. the Speaking or Expressing the perceptibility of it self which Word continueth Eternally in God and God viz. the Power or Vertue of the Perceptibility is the Eternal † Goodnesse Good 7. Wisdom At Number 7. standeth Wisdom signifying the outspoken Word viz. the Power of the Divine Vision wherein God himself is understandingly and perceptibly Revealed and Manifested And thus far God is Invisible and Incomprehensible to the Creature and not Natural also not Creatural The Beginning of the Mysterium Magnum or Eternal NATUR Under the line standeth these words The beginning of the Great Mystery Mysterium Magnum or Eternal Nature viz. the distinction or Separability percepribility and inventibility of properties whereby is understood the Divine Explication or Revelation shewing how God introduceth himself into Love and Anger in the Eternal Nature and not in himself for he is himself the Eternal One only Good which yet without distinction or separability could not be perceptible or Manifested But here we are to note that the Seven chief Forms of Nature are marked with Number I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII to difference them from the other Numbers used in this Table 8. The Second Principle   9. The First Principle On the first side at Number 8. The Second Principle standeth and on the other side at Number 9. The First Principle standeth The words at Number 9. signifie the Fathers property through the Speaking of the Word in Wrath and those at Number 8. signifie the Sonnes property in

the Love wherein Gods Love is Manifested through the out-speaking or expressing of the Word viz. that in the Love Number 8 signifieth the Angelical powers World and that in the Wrath Number 9. signifieth the Dark powers World of Pain Woe and Torment wherein God is an Angry God 10. Tincture At Number 10. standeth Tincture which signifieth the Temperature or Harmony of all Substances or things shewing how they therein through the Word go forth into distinction and forms viz. into seven chief Forms as into I. Desire II. Science or Root III. Anguish IV. Fire V. Lovefire VI. Sound and VII Substances and further there standeth by every chief form what properties go forth and are generated out of them for if Speaking must be then must the power first draw together that it may breath forth it self and then that drawing together or Magnetick Impression generateth the somewhat which is the beginning wherein is understood the Fiat which hath attracted the powers I. Desire And it is the First chief Form of the Spiritual Nature standing at Number I. viz. Desire which Desire sharpneth it self so that out of it Harsh Hard and the Cause of Cold existeth and is a Ground of all Saltish properties in the Spiritual World Spiritual and in the outward World Substantial And thus the Desire of the Impression is ac●use of the Overshadowing of it self or of the Darknesse in the Abysse as we see all these forms belong to Number I. viz. to the Desire of Impression II. Sting or Science Close by standeth the Second chief form Number II. which is the Sting or Science viz. the root which signifieth the indrawing of the desire whence the first Enmity or Contrary will existeth for hardnesse and moving are unlike things in this form now existeth the moving and feeling as a root of painfulnesse wherein is understood the Mercurial poysonous Life both spiritually and in substance and in the Darknesse the Torment or the painfulnesse of the Evil Life neither would the Good Life be manifested without this root of Evil and it is the root of Gods wrath according to the Eternal Nature of the perceptibility III. Anguish The Third chief form Number III. is Anguish which existeth out of the Desire of the Impression and out of the Enmity of the S●ing whence the Will standeth in the source or pain and is a Cause of the * Or perception in the Mind and Thoughts feeling and of the five Senses therein and because in the Anguish all forms are pained that makes them that they find one another and herein the WORD becometh distinct and is a root of Sulphur both spiritual and Substantial wherein is rightly understood in the Darknesse in the painful Life the Hellish fire as is noted in the Table downwards IV. Fire The Fourth chief Form Number IV. is called Fire wherein is understood the Kindling of the fire from the painful Sulphurey root for the Will goeth from the Anguish into the Liberty again and the liberty goeth into the Anguish to its manifestation In this Conjunction the Crack or Lightening Flash is effected wherein the Abysse viz. the Eternal Good becomes manifested and is in the Forms of NATURE the Understanding and Life in the Darknesse painful woe and Torment and in the Liberty it is the Root of Joy or the awakening of the powers and is the fires Kindling in which Kindling the Abysse becometh a shining Light viz. Material V. Lovefire The Fifth Form Number V. is called the Lovefire wherein is understood how the Eternal Good through the Kindling of the painful fire introduceth it self into an exulting burning Lovefire which fire is indeed in God before but thus now it unfoldeth it self forth so that it is perceptible and moveable wherein the good powers become working 11. Angel VI. Sound At Number VI. standeth Sound or Distinction viz. the Sixth chief Form signifying the Natural clear life wherein the Eternal Divine Word hath through the forms of Nature unfolded it self forth wherein all the powers of the Wisdom stand in the Sound and in this now consisteth the understanding Life in the Light it is Angelical and Divine and in the darknesse it is Diabolical as right before it Number 11.
