let no man be puffed up with Knowledge And for our part we are not extol'd therewith for Satan also doth buffet us with fists and doth upbraid us with our shame Therefore we humble our selves that the Lord may accept of us in mercy Who giveth Grace to the humble and beholdeth low things and him that is of a contrite heart and trembleth at his Word Lastly This is the Conclusion that every one examine himself and that according to the Spirit Truth and Wisdom and no otherwise whether God Christ and the Holy Ghost be in him which every one may know by his thoughts Words and Works in his affection will and pleasure and in his Knowledge and Conscience Every good thing is from God and of God and not of Men. All Sin is from the Devil who seduceth man and leadeth him to perdition and destruction Well be to him who separates bad from good rejects bad things and maketh choice of good and beareth fruit thereby The Lord Zeboah will at last take away the evil Eternally and restore the good again and return bad things to that evil one and recompence it upon his head Amen The Lord our God be gracious unto us and help forward the works of his hands yea the works of his hands he will help forward Amen Praised be the Lord that cometh and blessed be his glorious name All the world be full of his Honour Amen Hallelujah FINIS A Catalogue of Chymical Books which have been written Originally or Translated into English ELias Ashmole Esq his Theatrum Chymicum Britanicum Or a Collection of our Famous English Hermetical and Poetical Philosophers viz.

he that desires to know God must learn to know him in his image and that perfectly which perfect knowledge is this That God is man and that he is true man who is of God and God is in him This is the wisdom that is mystical hitherto and yet is manifest but only to the wise and is called Theosophia because God doth no where so clearly manifest himself as in man who is his image or honour or glory 1 Cor. 11. 7. Therefore man needs not to go far but only into himself to learn the true knowledge of God and to seek after God in himself and himself in God If he do not thus all is vain and no where else any wisdom to be found Acts 17. 27. Luke 17. 21. Seeing the three other books proceed only from the one Book as the world of God therefore all three do testifie unanimously of this book 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 namely each in its letter wisdom and testimony but none so clearly as man doth This is that great whole and perfect Library of wisemen wherewith in justice and equity they may be contented All wisdom and knowledg with their mysteries in these books we may not learn any where else but only through the same Spirit who himself hath penned these books made and testified He therefore who is desirous to study these books must from the bottom of his heart acknowledge and confess his own blindness folly and ignorance and must pray unto the Father of Lights for illumination wisdom and understanding that he would send his holy spirit which may lead us into all truth and take us away from all foolishness and falshood and may bring us to the Light of Gods glory Which may not be done by any other means then through a love to God and to mans own salvation and through a holy life without all Hypocrisie and through the Light that commeth from above and not from beneath from man and his wisdom which all those must learn to deny that desire to learn the wisdom of the holy ones We will speak thus That hitherto all these books were sealed up but are now opened in the end of the World according to the Prophecy 4 Esd 6. 20. Dan 12. 9. Zach. 14. 7. And if wise worldly men are offended at this they betray themselves that the wisdom of the holy one is not in them The books of wisdom testifie unanimously of the word by which all things are created and in which only all wisdom doth rest and which is the beginning of all beginnings in which is all and without which nothing is which is all in all God blessed for ever Amen CHAP. II. Of those principles and beginnings of all things as also of God himself and of all whatsoever it be THe Principle of all Principles and beginning of all beginnings as also of God himself is only the word according to the testimony of the divine truth and word it self John 1. Now the word may not be defined otherwise then that it is a Spirit breath or voice of God yea God himself in such a subsistence essence and being as namely How the image of God doth represent us according to the similitude which is man as that he is a quic●ning spirit a spiritual Adam and heavenly man which is God the Lord glorined and magnified for ever Amen Now we hold altogether that this is the proper definition of God and no other which the holy writ clearly signifieth 1 Cor. 15. 45 47 48. who according to his Image and Similitude hath created a spiritual Adam and Terrestrial man when God said Let us make Adam or Man after our image after our Similitude Gen. 1. 26 27. Now the word being the Beginning of all Beginnings there is contained in the same the Light Life and Love The Light affords the Revelation of God for God is Light and dwelleth in Light and is the Father of Lights Life is the virtue and power of God and a quickning Spirit who hath createth and preserveth all Love is a Testimony of God in which is the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost in one word which is called Jesus Christ the spiritual Adam and heavenly Man Messias who is Essential Alpha and Omega All in All the Beginning and the End the First and the Last Blessed and Praised for ever Amen Rev. 1. 22. Now the word being the true Principle in God himself then consequently all proceedeth from the word out of which do chiefly manifest themselves three general Principles in which Principles with and through which all things are contained and are these namely God Nature Element Now these three general Principles afford also a threefold world namely a divine uncreated from Godflowing world from Eternity then an Angelical world which proceedeth or lighteth forth or shineth forth out of the Light in which God dwelleth and lastly an Elementary world whose Original came out of the water After these three general Principles proceed also three special Principles namely Ghost Wind and Water Now every world hath its proper Ghost Wind and Water in their Kind and Nature All things Created out of the divine world from above are Created out of Water and Spirit from above through the wind and breath of the Omnipotent God for to the Divine world is properly competent the Spirit to the Angelical is properly competent the wind and to the Elementary world is water proper After these special Principles follow lastly particular Principles each of which hath its proper Being out of which in which and from which it consists But these three Principles proceed from the former and are Spirit Soul and Life and Body All bodies are out of the Water All Life and Soul out of the Wind And all Spirit out of the Spirit But concerning the Angels their Body is out of the Wind of the Angelical World their Soul and Life a Fire-flame and their Soul a ●ight of which elsewhere These are our Principles in the Wisdom out of which all things have their Original Whether other Principles may be shewed unto us we do much doubt The Primum mobile first mover of all things is the Word for in it is the Life The Secundum mobile Second mover of all things is the Spirit through which all things are Created The Tertium mobile Third mover is the Wind and these three moving Principles are the Perpetnum mobile everlasting mover of all things by which all things move live and have their Being But these three do rest upon the Water bodily out of which the World is and all things are And in the Air according to the Life wherein all things are And in Heaven from which all things come from above after the Spirit but the Spirit from God from which he cometh and returneth thither John 1. 4. Psal 104. 30. Acts 17. 28. Eccles 12. 7. But all these come together on and in the Earth as in the heart of the world Wisd 1. 7. In these

cannot come to its glory unless it be gone in the Crusible through the consuming fire seven times that afterward it may be Baptized with Water and Spirit to a new birth and become a new Gold and become out of the same Spirit and Water increased into many thousands and as a Heavenly Gold Spirit and Metal whereby other inferiour metals may be turned into the substance of the best Gold So it fareth with man that shall get Wisdom first he must be baptized with Fire then with Water and then with the Spirit and all this is done in the Crusible of the Terrestrial man But all wisdom is sufficient through the Spirit and in Truth through Principia subordinata Concordantia which do concenter afterward in a Harmony The Principia contain the true beginning of every thing from whence it came thither it doth return also and from thence it is preserv'd also The Subordinata contain the Order straitness and perfection of every thing as they do hang one in another stand and subsist one by another even as a Ladder or Stairs there must not be one step amiss or wanting else the subordinata are not true Commonly there are seven subordinata and follow one upon another orderly and things that follow one after another are subordinata and thus it is perfect Lastly this is a Concordance that all things may agree one with another and a Contrariety be no where found seen or heard Even as in sweet Musick all things are Harmonious let the Voices be as many as they will and change one in another going out of one into another and an everlasting Ternarius remaineth therein and so the Principles and Concordance consist in Ternarius and Vnity where one floweth out of another till to the number of seven of the Subordinata which reach after the greater number till to Twelve At last the Harmony concentreth and encloseth all which taketh altogether in One Three and Seven and presents one as the other namely the upper as the lower and the lower as the upper so that none be against the other although they be so far distinct as God and Creature Spirit and Soul Heaven and Earth yet one is in the other the one is known by the other and the one is justified by the other and that in Spirit and Truth Search now and see try and learn hear observe and judge what Wisdom this is and what Truth and Spirit is presented in this Book The fool knoweth nothing of the Wisdom and doth not understand her way Lyers do not understand the Truth nor do they know her Principles and the soulish bruitish and profane know nothing of the Spirit although they hear his wind blow yet they know not from whence it cometh nor whither it goeth Therefore do not look upon men do not inquire after men that is nothing and do not stare upon the image to the intent to adore it as all those do that dwell on Earth Rev. 13. But only inquire after the Spirit and fear him for he will direct all in the Word of Truth and Righteousness Him you are to Honour and against him do not think speak or do that you may not be condemned out of your own mouth Now all Spirit Truth and Wisdom reveal themselve in these three and are thereby known and justified namely in a Divine Light in a Divine Life and in a Divine Love where these three are in on and about man there is really Spirit Truth and Wisdom The Divine Light containeth all wisdom understanding and knowledge The Divine Life containeth all Truth Holiness and Righteousness And the Divine Love containeth the whole Spirit and poureth him out into our hearts and thereby we know that God hath loved us because he hath given us of his Spirit which cryeth in us Abba and giveth Testimony to our Spirit that we are the Children of God He poureth forth our Tears and Prayers before God that we might find grace before the Lord and teacheth us to pray aright before the Lord about things that are above maketh intercession for us with unspeakable sighs Thereby we know in the Spirit and in Truth where the right Wisdom the Divine Truth and the Holy Ghost is for these three Light Life and Love proceed from God and God himself is Light and there is neither Darkness nor Fire in or about him God is Eternal Life there is neither Death nor Perdition out of him in or about him God is Love it self and there is neither VVrath nor Pain Hell nor ●amnation out or of him He that stayeth by in and on these three namely by the Divine Light in a Divine Life and in a Divine Love he stayeth and abideth in God and God in him in the Spirit and Truth according to the wisdom and true knowledge of God and knoweth what is Truth Spirit and Wisdom and tells their true Principles Subordinates and Concordances in a Divine Harmony proved to the Elect Angels and Men in Spirit and in Truth CHAP. XXI Of the Mystery of Time to understand it aright NOthing so secret at night but the day may reveal it when the Light cometh to its Day and the day to its light and the clear Sun doth shine over all that is under Heaven The Night is past and behold the day breaks on with its fair morning light which is a light fire and a fire-light who can now subsist for the Lord cometh yea the Lord cometh coming Amen Halelujah He is like unto the fire of a Founder and like unto the sharp Lee of Sope boylers he will melt prove try c. He will wash purifie and cleanse And who can stand before him Mal 3. This he doth therefore that all filth may be done away before the Sun riseth and may not put the whole Earth and world to banishment or destruction Chap. 4. Now that day being come with its light in this time then the Mystery of the time of the whole world will be revealed But always is included and closed in and with the number of Seven For in the seventh day God finished the Creation and so in Seven always included But the number 7 standeth thus 7 49. 70. The number Seven after our time standeth chiefly upon the Seventh Trumpet in and with it the Mystery of God is finished yea revealed Rev. 10 11 12. Chap. As also with the seventh Vial of Gods wrath But as much as we know in part we are and live betwixt the fifth and sixth Vial. The number 49. sheweth expresly that fair Mystery of the time of the refreshing and restitution of all that is lost Levit. 25. And the number 49 is the end of the little seventh day and a beginning of the great seventh day and Sabbath of God Lastly the number 70 seeth upon the 70 weeks in the Prophet Daniel as also upon the expiration of the 1335 days Chap. 9. 24. 12. 12. When these are about then the transgression will be reconciled every

Prophecy fulfilled and the most Holy Holy with his Saints will take the Kingdom and Jerusalem rebuilded and the Eternal righteousness and all what hath been lost by the fall shall be restored Of this great glory and unspeakable joy the Spirit prophesieth in all Creatures yea in all Lights of Heaven and in all the Elements But where are the Seers where are the Hearers and where are the Observers Further concerning the time of the world it is divided in 1. 3. and 7. The one time generally containeth the whole great day of the World 12 hours Mat. 12. Which shall be 6000. years and so there were 500. years to an hour but the days shall be shortned so that they shall not be full 6000. years and the days or years of that shortning are clear in the Book of Genesis at the first judgment over the world c. The three times of the world now are that they shall be divided namely the 6000. years into three times As the first time from Adam till Noah at the Deluge and containeth 1656. years From the Deluge till to the Messiah born of the Virgin Mary is the second time divided into 12 parts each containeth 214. years or 214. ½ year which added together make 2568. years from the Deluge till to the Messias 4 Esd 14. 11. Now if 1656. are summed up with the other then the Messias is born into the world of the Virgin Mary in the year of the world 4230. The third time of the world is from Christs Nativity till to his glorious coming the Mystery of which year is mystically signified in 4 Esd 7. 28 30 Chap. 9. Calculation Concerning the abovesaid threefold number 7. 49. 70. therein is the Mystery clearly signified without any diminution or addition if only you will open your Eyes Ears and Hearts to see hear and observe clearer it cannot possibly be told these numbers in themselves calculated namely to know certainly how many years every hour of the twelve do contain because the 6000. years are not compleat but those days must be shortned But now as in the former times and judgments over the world always seven days went before the judgment came upon the world So it is now in and with the time of the judgment over this world Gen. 7. 4. Josh 6. Levit. 25. Now when the judgment is proclaimed seven days goeth before the Proclamation Now if you have the Spirit of Daniel then number and reckon how many days are past and how many are behind to the judgment None believeth what alterations there are at hand the whole World lyeth in wickedness and it will perish in it But that we may keep nothing from the Reader and wellwisher to wisdom and that he may fully conceive the time of the end namely in the sure token of it then there are three signs of it the first is that presently after the great horrible bloudy Battel that is at hand he do come whom we expect Mal. 3. 4. and the Gospel of the Kingdom be Preached in the whole world for a Testimony over all Nations that one Shepherd and one Flock may be Mat. 24. 14. Rev. 14. 6. Zeph. 3. 8 9. The second time is when the Ten lost Tribes of Israel are found out again over the Water into the Land and upon the Mount Israel do come from the Orient after the sixth Vial is poured out Rev. 16 12. 4. Esd 13. 4. Isa 11. 11. Chap. 27. 13. Jer. 31. 8. Deut. 30. 4. Mica 4. 6. 7. Rom. 11. 25. Yea whole Israel and whole Juda will come again into their Countrey and will turn to the Lord their God Hos 3 Lastly The last sign of the coming of the Lord is when the Beast and all Kings of the Earth together with Gog and Magog by the seduction of the three unclean Spirits into the Land of Israel and to the Valley of Jehosaphat and upon the Hill of Israel come together to a Battel c. and are destroyed with fire from Heaven Rev. 19 19 20 21. Ezek. 3. 8. Joel 3. Isa 24. 21 22. This is the end then beginneth the Kingdom and Priesthood of Melchisedech Halelujah Come Lord Jesus and deliver us from the Evil One Amen Conclusion COurteous Reader we conclude this our Jehior or Morning Light and salute you in the Lord from the Lord in the Spirit of Grace and Supplication which the Lord will pour out over us all through the Power from above that we might find Grace before him at his coming and may not be put to shame when he judgeth Reader if you are a wellwisher to Wisdom then take of us the Crumbs which we have gathered from the Lords Table and accept of them till Melchisedech cometh and distributeth the Holy Shew-bread and to drink of the New Wine of his distributing at the great Supper of the Nuptials of the Lamb in Paradise the fruits whereof himself will set up You are to give thanks with us to him from whom all good gifts come from above the Father of Lights praying that he would inlighten us all turn us to him and make us happy for ever This is according to the love of God whose dedesire is that all men may be saved and that all may come to the knowledge of the Truth Therefore let us be merciful loving and perfect Even as our Heavenly Father is merciful loving and perfect that it may be known and revealed that we are his Children But Curteous Reader if you affect folly and art a despiser of Wisdom go to and despise but be sure that you do not despise men herein but God himself who hath given us his Spirit and from whom all Wisdom cometh and think that the Spirit of judgment will require an account of you in that day But Reader if you are a Pharisee and Hypocrite and seekest rather Honour from Men then from God We 'll consider then what the Lord saith 1 Sam. 2. 30. He that honoureth me him I will honour also and he that despiseth me shall be despised again And Christ saith Mat. 10. 3● He that confesseth me before men him will I also confess before my Heavenly Father that is in Heaven He that denieth me before men him will I also deny before my Heavenly father But Reader if you are a simple Heart and art not fit for Wisdom then abide on in and by the fear of the Lord in a Godly life which fear is not only the beginning of Wisdom but also the end of Wisdom and it is no help to man though he be able to speak with an Angelical Tongue and had all knowledge and understood all Mysteries and had such a faith whereby he could remove Mountains and withall had not the Love of God which endured everlastingly all will profit you nothing Therefore blessed are the Babes and sucklings which know not these outward things for theirs is the Kingdom of God because the Spirit of God is declared in them Therefore
