say_v so_o to_o but_o i_o proceed_v not_o mute_o i_o say_v out_o of_o what_o for_o god_n have_v give_v i_o the_o knowledge_n it_o be_v not_o i_o myself_o that_o know_v it_o but_o god_n know_v it_o in_o me._n 73._o the_o wisdom_n be_v his_o bride_n and_o the_o child_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o christ_n in_o the_o wisdom_n also_o god_n bride_n now_o than_o if_o christ_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o christ_n child_n and_o if_o christ_n child_n be_v branch_n on_o his_o vine_n and_o one_o body_n with_o he_o also_o one_o spirit_n who_o now_o be_v the_o knowledge_n be_v it_o i_o or_o god_n shall_v

therefore_o now_o i_o submit_v and_o will_v know_v nothing_o so_o far_o as_o i_o be_o self_n viz_o in_o that_o part_n from_o the_o outward_a world_n that_o he_o may_v know_v in_o i_o what_o he_o

the_o eterna●●_n wisdom_n be_v the_o body_n of_o god_n and_o he_o generate_v therein_o what_o he_o will_v then_o now_o if_o he_o generate_v it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o do_v it_o but_o he_o in_o i_o i_o

i_o will_v not_o hide_v it_o from_o you_o but_o mean_v it_o hearty_o 78._o i_o have_v write_v of_o three_o principle_n which_o be_v know_v in_o i_o but_o weak_o as_o a_o scholar_n which_o go_v to_o

i_o bring_v no_o controversy_n into_o his_o meaning_n about_o it_o he_o may_v make_v ten_o for_o the_o wisdom_n have_v neither_o limit_v nor_o ground_n but_o he_o neither_o understand_v my_o meaning_n nor_o his_o own_o 80._o let_v he_o tell_v i_o how_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v a_o principle_n or_o what_o do_v he_o understand_v by_o a_o principle_n will_v he_o make_v the_o clear_a bright_a deity_n to_o be_v a_o principle_n which_o be_v eternal_a without_o ground_n and_o beginning_n which_o dwell_v in_o the_o nothing_o also_o possess_v nothing_o but_o only_o itself_o i_o can_v not_o speak_v so_o of_o the_o principle_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o three_o world_n in_o and_o with_o which_o the_o incomprehensible_a deity_n manifest_v or_o reveal_v itself_o 81._o one_o of_o they_o with_o or_o by_o the_o wrought_a power_n in_o the_o desire_n to_o the_o eternal_a nature_n viz_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o dark_a source_n or_o quality_n through_o which_o the_o will_n of_o the_o still_a eternity_n sharpen_v itself_o and_o bring_v itself_o in_o the_o fire_n through_o the_o light_n and_o so_o the_o sharpness_n remain_v eternal_o only_a in_o itself_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o still_a will_n of_o the_o meekness_n thus_o receive_v a_o cause_n in_o the_o sharpness_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o joy_n and_o yet_o also_o remain_v not_o essential_o stand_v with_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o fierce_a wrathful_a sharpness_n 82._o but_o the_o root_n be_v a_o darkness_n and_o the_o spirit_n go_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o chaos_n through_o the_o root_n through_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o father_n property_n through_o the_o second_o centre_n of_o the_o love_n and_o kingdom_n of_o joy_n into_o the_o light_n 83._o now_o therefore_o that_o very_a spirit_n which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o all_o in_o every_o substance_n or_o thing_n according_a to_o its_o property_n be_v no_o principle_n but_o according_a to_o the_o eternal_a nature_n of_o the_o fierce_a wrathfulness_n it_o be_v a_o principle_n 84._o thus_o also_o the_o second_o principle_n subsist_v with_o or_o by_o the_o divine_a world_n viz_o where_o the_o divine_a power_n with_o 〈◊〉_d of_o the_o majesty_n be_v pour_v forth_o which_o be_v just_o account_v 〈…〉_z three_o person_n 85._o but_o the_o principle_n in_o the_o fire_n be_v to_o 〈…〉_z where_o the_o die_v be_v and_o out_o of_o the_o die_v another_o life_n 〈◊〉_d viz_o out_o of_o the_o fire_n a_o light_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o die_v but_o a_o consume_a source_n quality_n or_o torment_n and_o out_o of_o the_o source_n quality_n or_o torment_n the_o high_a triumph_a spirit_n exi_v where_o then_o god_n love-will_a and_o anger-will_a sever_v itself_o into_o two_o world_n viz_o into_o light_n and_o darkness_n and_o he_o be_v call_v god_n according_a to_o the_o light_n and_o according_a to_o the_o poured-out_a virtue_n or_o power_n of_o his_o wisdom_n 86._o but_o the_o eternal_a divine_a original_a be_v not_o in_o the_o eternal_a nature_n the_o will_n to_o nature_n be_v soon_o and_o that_o will_n be_v the_o chaos_n wherein_o all_o lie_v and_o the_o spirit_n exi_v out_o of_o that_o and_o manifest_v or_o reveal_v itself_o with_o or_o by_o light_n and_o darkness_n therefore_o i_o call_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n a_o principle_n for_o it_o be_v without_o or_o beside_o all_o beginning_n yet_o with_o the_o eternal_a beginning_n manifest_v or_o reveal_v with_o god_n in_o trinity_n though_o the_o ternary_a also_o be_v in_o the_o chaos_n as_o be_v express_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o six_o point_n wherefore_o the_o outward_a world_n be_v a_o principle_n of_o its_o own_o its_o model_n be_v eternal_a 87._o now_o when_o i_o write_v of_o the_o three_o principle_n than_o i_o also_o say_v that_o god_n have_v create_v all_o thing_n through_o his_o wisdom_n but_o out_o of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v call_v god_n this_o world_n be_v not_o create_v for_o it_o be_v call_v evil_a and_o good_a and_o a_o murder_v den_n of_o the_o devil_n 88_o also_o it_o be_v not_o generate_v out_o of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n but_o by_o or_o through_o the_o wisdom_n the_o wisdom_n be_v not_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o world_n else_o i_o must_v call_v a_o stone_n god_n wisdom_n and_o sin_n also_o but_o it_o be_v generate_v out_o of_o the_o two_o eternal_a principle_n of_o both_o world_n substantiality_n viz_o out_o of_o the_o desire_n of_o both_z 89._o god_n the_o father_n who_o be_v all_o have_v move_v himself_o with_o the_o creation_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o both_o world_n of_o both_o nature_n and_o have_v create_v angel_n understand_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o eternal_a nature_n 90._o for_o if_o a_o spirit_n be_v to_o subsist_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o joy_n than_o it_o must_v have_v the_o centre_n in_o itself_o out_o of_o which_o the_o joy_n originate_v viz_o the_o centre_n to_o the_o dark_a world_n which_o be_v the_o sharp_a might_n else_o it_o will_v be_v a_o stillnesse_n without_o move_a 91._o therefore_o when_o lucifer_n contemn_v the_o light_n he_o remain_v in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o darkness_n for_o his_o will_n go_v out_o from_o the_o light_n and_o will_v domineer_v in_o the_o fire_n may_v whereby_o he_o anger_v god_n according_a to_o the_o fire_n property_n that_o be_v in_o the_o principle_n in_o the_o fire_n property_n 92._o thus_o i_o say_v the_o outward_a world_n be_v a_o principle_n that_o it_o have_v a_o life_n of_o its_o own_o generate_v outof_a both_o the_o inward_a spiritual_a world_n viz_o a_o revelation_n or_o manifestation_n of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o principle_n a_o model_n or_o similitude_n of_o the_o eternal_a nature_n comprise_v in_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o eternal_a nature_n and_o manifest_v with_o a_o beginning_n and_o include_v in_o a_o time_n which_o with_o the_o end_n go_v again_o into_o the_o eternity_n 93._o this_o model_n or_o time_n have_v stand_v in_o god_n wisdom_n which_o the_o wisdom_n have_v manifest_v through_o two_o spiritual_a world_n with_o the_o move_a of_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o that_o which_o be_v reveal_v or_o manifest_v go_v out_o of_o both_o

then_o thou_o say_v thus_o god_n be_v at_o odds_o with_o himself_o be_v he_o be_v evil_a and_o good_a o_o thou_o dear_a reason_n learn_v the_o centre_n here_o or_o stay_v at_o home_n with_o thy_o

143._o therefore_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o now_o 〈…〉_z god_n be_v love_n be_v as_o great_a as_o his_o anger_n his_o fire_n be_v as_o great_a as_o his_o light_n and_o his_o darkness_n as_o great_a as_o
