the_o exit_z out_o of_o the_o will_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o be_v a_o spirit_n so_o that_o the_o eternity_n stand_v in_o three_o eternal_a subsistence_n form_n which_o be_v call_v person_n as_o 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

fountain_n quality_n of_o the_o essence_n out_o of_o the_o will._n 135._o now_o you_o see_v also_o well_o that_o fire_n must_v have_v somewhat_o to_o consume_v else_o it_o be_v a_o darkness_n and_o though_o it_o devour_v itself_o viz._n it_o be_v strong_a or_o stern_a attraction_n yet_o that_o very_a fire_n be_v only_o a_o source_n or_o fountain_n quality_n in_o the_o darkness_n whereby_o we_o understand_v the_o abyss_n of_o the_o anger_n which_o in_o god_n be_v not_o reveal_v or_o manifest_v but_o only_o as_o a_o cause_n of_o the_o life_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n 136._o you_o see_v this_o that_o every_o fire_n must_v have_v substance_n if_o it_o must_v burn_v understand_v this_o thus_o the_o fire_n afford_v air_n the_o air_n water_n and_o it_o draw_v the_o air_n strong_o again_o into_o itself_o with_o the_o water_n whence_o the_o fire_n source_n or_o fountain_n quality_n of_o heat_n become_v mitigate_v or_o meekn_v so_o that_o it_o shine_v 137._o for_o without_o oil_n water_n no_o fire_n shine_v where_o in_o a_o thing_n the_o water_n be_v not_o to_o be_v attain_v there_o be_v no_o shine_v of_o the_o fire_n but_o only_o a_o glimpse_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o a_o glow_a or_o red_a hot_a stone_n which_o have_v the_o source_n or_o quality_n of_o fire_n &_o of_o the_o shine_a it_o have_v nothing_o but_o only_a glimpse_n it_o may_v be_v not_o that_o but_o in_o the_o iron_n you_o see_v a_o glimpse_n wherein_o the_o fire_n attain_v the_o water_n therefore_o also_o iron_n be_v at_o length_n consume_v and_o get_v rust_n and_o a_o stone_n not._n this_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o the_o outward_a principle_n of_o this_o world_n but_o according_a to_o the_o inward_a viz._n according_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n observe_v this_o understanding_n the_o eternal_a fire_n burn_v eternal_o but_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n not_o manifest_v or_o reveal_v in_o a_o fierce_a wrathful_a manner_n 138._o observe_v this_o thus_o the_o flash_n make_v a_o shine_a which_o originate_v from_o the_o fire_n and_o dwell_v not_o in_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n of_o the_o fire_n but_o it_o satiate_v or_o fulfil_v the_o fire_n total_o and_o give_v light_a also_o external_o out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o be_v not_o hold_v or_o detain_v by_o the_o fire_n and_o bring_v also_o a_o several_a source_n or_o quality_n as_o meekness_n and_o have_v yet_o the_o fire_n virtue_n or_o power_n wit_n or_o ingenuity_n and_o art_n for_o in_o the_o light_n be_v first_o the_o fire_n source_n or_o quality_n in_o the_o essence_n manifest_v or_o reveal_v 139._o now_o the_o light_n make_v no_o source_n or_o pain_n but_o go_v in_o itself_o into_o a_o meekness_n and_o be_v also_o desirous_a proceed_v from_o the_o fire_n source_n or_o quality_n and_o its_o desire_v be_v also_o a_o attract_v as_o viz._n of_o the_o meekness_n and_o virtue_n or_o power_n into_o itself_o and_o impregna_v itself_o with_o meekness_n 140._o for_o the_o light_n be_v also_o a_o fire_n a_o very_a yearning_n fire_n a_o desirous_a fire_n and_o a_o continual_a find_v fire_n which_o continual_o find_v what_o be_v generate_v in_o the_o original_a 141._o all_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n which_o originate_v in_o the_o fierce_a wrathful_a fire_n be_v manifest_v or_o reveal_v in_o the_o light_n and_o the_o light_n desire_v that_o in_o meekness_n for_o the_o fire_n fierce_a wrathfulness_n and_o the_o light_n shine_v be_v two_o principle_n of_o a_o twofold_a source_n or_o fountain_n quality_n each_o dwell_v in_o itself_o and_o the_o one_o comprehend_v not_o the_o other_o in_o eternity_n and_o yet_o the_o one_o be_v the_o other_o life_n and_o cause_n understand_v it_o thus_o 142._o as_o we_o consider_v that_o a_o horrible_a anxious_a source_n or_o quality_n make_v a_o sink_v down_o in_o itself_o like_o a_o death_n where_o then_o be_v the_o part_a limit_n and_o yet_o the_o anguish_n in_o itself_o retain_v its_o source_n or_o

out_o of_o the_o anguish-source_n like_o a_o die_a and_o be_v a_o die_a whereas_o yet_o in_o the_o eternity_n be_v no_o die_v but_o such_o a_o entrance_n into_o another_o world_n of_o another_o principle_n of_o another_o source_n or_o fountain-quality_n 143._o for_o the_o sink_n go_v into_o the_o still_a eternity_n as_o into_o the_o liberty_n and_o be_v the_o fierce_a wrathful_a fires-source_n continue_v in_o itself_o in_o its_o life_n therefore_o be_v the_o sink_v a_o go_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o fire-life_n and_o yet_o be_v from_o the_o fire-life_n but_o its_o source_n

another_o substantiality_n viz._n another_o water_n wherein_o the_o light_n shine_v wherein_o no_o fierce_a wrathfulness_n be_v 144._o for_o in_o the_o eternity_n be_v no_o death_n that_o withholdeth_a but_o only_o such_o a_o entrance_n in_o for_o that_o which_o have_v no_o beginning_n that_o have_v also_o no_o end_n nor_o ground_n and_o thus_o originate_v the_o light_n out_o of_o the_o fires-source_n 145._o for_o the_o light_n dwell_v in_o the_o fire_n &_o also_o not_o in_o the_o fire_n it_o be_v in_o another_o world_n and_o be_v another_o fire_n which_o be_v call_v love_n

and_o yet_o that_o we_o may_v be_v understand_v when_o we_o speak_v thus_o of_o the_o love-essence_n as_o of_o another_o fire_n observe_v it_o behold_v when_o the_o light_n become_v thus_o generate_v
