tell_v from_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o fierce_a against_o sin_n and_o evil_a for_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o must_v only_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o what_o i_o say_v before_o viz._n that_o when_o i_o say_v that_o eternal_a love_n be_v god_n unchangeable_a nature_n i_o speak_v of_o god_n as_o he_o exist_v in_o himself_o in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n before_o

the_o eye_n show_v that_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v contain_v and_o shut_v up_o in_o his_o heart_n for_o since_o the_o divine_a nature_n do_v continual_o flow_v from_o and_o return_v again_o to_o this_o essential_a heart_n of_o god_n as_o its_o centre_n and_o spring_n and_o since_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o expression_n and_o manifestation_n of_o his_o nature_n therefore_o this_o image_n must_v needs_o be_v impress_v on_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o very_a centre_n of_o his_o divine_a nature_n and_o therefore_o this_o heart_n of_o god_n be_v

you_o will_v object_v that_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n have_v no_o image_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o indeed_o god_n have_v no_o organical_a outward_a image_n

that_o the_o image_n of_o god_n do_v consist_v in_o these_o the_o scripture_n will_v inform_v we_o if_o we_o compare_v colos._n 3._o 10._o with_o ephes._n 4.24_o so_o that_o we_o see_v that_o god_n

to_o which_o i_o answer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v no_o passion_n or_o affection_n like_v to_o those_o which_o be_v in_o men._n second_o there_o be_v no_o evil_n

pure_a virginity_n do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o she_o be_v free_a from_o all_o manner_n of_o spot_n blemish_n or_o mixture_n but_o especial_o in_o this_o that_o her_o bright_a

their_o delight_n with_o wisdom_n and_o again_o the_o whole_a joy_n and_o delight_n of_o wisdom_n be_v the_o flame_a love_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n she_o be_v exalt_v above_o all_o thing_n

the_o essential_a property_n of_o god_n wisdom_n 3._o i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o head_n viz._n what_o the_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v in_o the_o still_a eternity_n i_o find_v that_o wisdom_n discharge_v these_o two_o office_n viz._n 1._o she_o be_v a_o revealer_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o hide_a wonder_n of_o the_o deity_n 2._o she_o be_v a_o enlightner_n of_o the_o still_a eternity_n first_o as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o scripture_n and_o revelation_n assure_v we_o that_o wisdom_n be_v the_o revealer_n and_o manifester_n of_o the_o unsearchable_a secret_n of_o god_n she_o be_v the_o golden_a key_n of_o the_o eternal_a eye_n by_o which_o all_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v unlock_v as_o the_o office_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o effect_v and_o create_v all_o thing_n so_o the_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v to_o manifest_v and_o reveal_v all_o thing_n she_o never_o bring_v forth_o any_o thing_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n also_o be_v call_v a_o pure_a virgin_n but_o only_o discover_v and_o manifest_v whatsoever_o the_o holy_a trinity_n by_o their_o effecting-creating-power_n be_v please_v to_o bring_v forth_o this_o

the_o still_a eternity_n it_o be_v wisdom_n bright_a glance_n which_o be_v the_o day_n and_o light_n of_o this_o most_o holy_a mansion_n not_o a_o create_a light_n but_o a_o pure_a divine_a light_n in_o that_o sense_n as_o god_n be_v call_v a_o light_n in_o who_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o and_o no_o otherwise_o but_o you_o will_v object_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o divine_a

and_o holy_a enlighten_v man_n have_v speak_v concern_v wisdom_n after_o another_o manner_n than_o here_o i_o have_v do_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a for_o they_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n after_o the_o production_n of_o eternal_a nature_n as_o wisdom_n be_v introduce_v into_o the_o seven_o form_n of_o eternal_a nature_n whereas_o i_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n existence_n with_o the_o

be_v find_v in_o the_o original_a essence_n of_o god_n i_o do_v according_o and_o i_o find_v that_o no_o pardon_v mercy_n nor_o vindictive_a justice_n nor_o wrath_n nor_o death_n nor_o curse_n neither_o any_o anguish_n sorrow_n darkness_n evil_a or_o element_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o solitary_a abstract_a essence_n of_o the_o deity_n i_o say_v first_o no_o pardon_v grace_n or_o mercy_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o beside_o himself_o and_o consequent_o no_o object_n which_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o pardon_n or_o forgiveness_n no_o vindictive_a justice_n because_o no_o object_n capable_a of_o punishment_n no_o anger_n nor_o wrath_n for_o god_n can_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o himself_o for_o so_o contrariety_n and_o enmity_n will_v be_v find_v in_o the_o bosom_n and_o centre_n of_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n no_o death_n for_o the_o deity_n be_v a_o live_a god_n yea_o life_n itself_o and_o the_o author_n of_o it_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v no_o anguish_n nor_o sorrow_n because_o god_n be_v the_o high_a and_o chief_a good_a and_o consequent_o must_v needs_o be_v all-triumphing_a joy_n all-delight_n all-pleasure_n no_o darkness_n because_o god_n be_v all_o light_n light_v itself_o and_o the_o source_n and_o centre_n of_o it_o no_o element_n because_o the_o deity_n be_v the_o most_o perfect_a and_o absolute_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n without_o any_o mixture_n or_o composition_n whatsoever_o but_o you_o will_v object_v that_o i_o seem_v to_o reject_v god_n vindictive_a justice_n and_o to_o deny_v his_o anger_n against_o sin_n and_o sinner_n i_o answer_v not_o at_o all_o for_o i_o do_v not_o simple_o deny_v god_n vindictive_a justice_n and_o wrath_n but_o only_o say_v that_o none_o of_o these_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o solitary_a and_o primary_n be_v of_o the_o deity_n and_o be_v only_o attribute_v to_o he_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v introduce_v himself_o into_o the_o property_n of_o eternal_a nature_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v concern_v the_o discovery_n and_o manifestation_n which_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n give_v of_o the_o essential_a heart_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o next_o place_n as_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n discover_v itself_o and_o the_o heart_n so_o it_o likewise_o manifest_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o exit_z or_o outgoing_a emanation_n of_o both_o eye_n and_o heart_n even_o a_o sweet_a pleasant_a outflowing_a life_n or_o power_n like_o to_o a_o breath_n or_o gust_n of_o air_n proceed_v from_o the_o abyssal_n eye_n of_o the_o father_n as_o ●rom_v its_o eternal_a root_n and_o beginning_n and_o convey_v through_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n as_o the_o golden-oyl_n transmit_v through_o the_o golden_a
