substance_n and_o be_v we_o can_v perceive_v or_o think_v upon_o it_o better_a in_o a_o similitude_n then_o in_o fire_n and_o light_n that_o be_v a_o direct_a or_o exact_a similitude_n 151._o the_o fire_n signify_v the_o eternal_a nature_n which_o arise_v original_o in_o the_o desire_n in_o the_o eternal_a will_n continual_o from_o eternity_n in_o eternity_n where_o the_o eternal_a will-spirit_n out_o of_o the_o eternal_a nothing_o viz._n out_o of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o deity_n manifest_v or_o reveal_v itself_o by_o or_o with_o its_o go_v forth_o into_o the_o desire_n of_o nature_n and_o divide_v itself_o into_o two_o world_n or_o principle_n viz._n darkness_n and_o light_n 152._o where_o each_o world_n have_v its_o centre_n to_o the_o source_n or_o quality_n in_o itself_o and_o yet_o neither_o depart_v away_o from_o the_o other_o but_o one_o world_n be_v in_o the_o other_o the_o light_n hold_v the_o darkness_n captive_a but_o the_o darkness_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o the_o light_n for_o in_o the_o harsh_a or_o astringent_a and_o stern_a darkness_n arise_v the_o essence_n or_o the_o source_n or_o quality_n of_o fire_n and_o nature_n 153._o now_o we_o see_v plain_o in_o the_o fire_n and_o light_v a_o twofold_a source_n or_o quality_n and_o desire_n and_o we_o see_v also_o how_o the_o fire_n burn_v out_o of_o a_o dark_a substance_n which_o signify_v the_o dark_a world_n dwell_v in_o itself_o 154._o the_o fire_n signify_v the_o eternal_a nature_n in_o the_o father_n will_n in_o the_o desire_n to_o manifestation_n or_o revelation_n the_o light_n signify_v the_o eternal_a liberty_n without_o beside_o or_o beyond_o nature_n which_o manifest_v nature_n in_o substance_n 155._o the_o fire_n have_v in_o itself_o the_o dark_a world_n fierce_a wrathful_a essence_n and_o the_o light_n have_v in_o itself_o the_o eternal_a liberty_n viz._n a_o meek_a soft_a quiet_a still_a habitation_n or_o delight_n 156._o but_o now_o the_o liberty_n and_o meekness_n without_o the_o fire_n will_v not_o be_v manifest_v or_o reveal_v but_o will_v be_v a_o still_o nothing_o and_o the_o fire_n also_o will_v have_v no_o glance_n or_o lustre_n without_o the_o liberty_n and_o so_o the_o fire_n and_o light_n will_v be_v nothing_o without_o the_o desire_n that_o be_v the_o centre_n to_o the_o genetrix_fw-la and_o hold_v or_o contain_v in_o itself_o the_o fiat_n of_o the_o word_n 157._o and_o in_o the_o desire_n become_v generate_v the_o eternal_a word_n or_o the_o understanding_n also_o the_o wisdom_n as_o also_o the_o anger-looking-glasse_n out_o of_o the_o root_n of_o the_o dark_a centre_n 158._o and_o we_o see_v further_o how_o the_o fire_n dwell_v in_o the_o light_n and_o the_o light_n in_o the_o fire_n and_o one_o comprehend_v not_o the_o other_o the_o light_n become_v generate_v in_o the_o fire_n viz._n out_o of_o the_o die_a or_o consumptibility_n it_o shine_v out_o of_o the_o death_n and_o sinck_v down_o to_o the_o death_n in_o itself_o and_o make_v in_o itself_o another_o source_n or_o quality_n then_o the_o fire_n be_v another_o principle_n where_o another_o life_n go_v forth_o viz._n meekness_n and_o amiable_a delight_n whereas_o in_o the_o fire_n there_o be_v only_a anguish_n and_o pain_n 159._o for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o light_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o its_o root_n for_o it_o be_v incomprehensible_a and_o it_o signify_v to_o we_o the_o eternal_a liberty_n without_o beside_o or_o beyond_o nature_n viz._n the_o divine_a substance_n and_o the_o angelical_a world_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v all_o for_o it_o be_v all_o power_n of_o all_o essence_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o out_o of_o nature_n in_o the_o light_n and_o be_v a_o life_n of_o the_o understanding_n also_o of_o reason_n and_o sensibility_n or_o thought_n whereas_o in_o fire_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o opposite_a or_o coutrary_a will_n to_o be_v understand_v 160._o for_o the_o form_n of_o the_o fire_n nature_n be_v themselves_o at_o enmity_n one_o with_o another_o the_o harshness_n bitterness_n and_o anguish_n be_v one_o against_o another_o which_o be_v the_o fire_n root_n where_o in_o the_o desire_n stand_v the_o harshness_n and_o in_o the_o harshness_n the_o draw_v where_o the_o nothing_o become_v bring_v into_o somewhat_o and_o the_o will_n overshaddow_v itself_o with_o that_o which_o be_v draw_v in_o 161._o whence_o in_o the_o desire_n a_o darkness_n and_o overshadow_v exist_v and_o then_o also_o out_o of_o the_o first_o desire_n the_o other_o or_o second_o will_n to_o go_v out_o from_o the_o darkness_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o fly_v away_o from_o one_o another_o but_o the_o other_o or_o second_o will_n enter_v into_o itself_o into_o the_o liberty_n without_o beside_o or_o beyond_o the_o desire_n in_o the_o darkness_n and_o so_o bring_v the_o property_n of_o nature_n along_o with_o it_o 162._o that_o fiery_a property_n be_v the_o liberty_n viz_o the_o nothing_o revelation_n or_o manifestation_n for_o thus_o exi_v the_o glance_n or_o lustre_n and_o shine_v for_o in_o the_o liberty_n be_v the_o property_n which_o be_v bring_v along_o with_o the_o other_o or_o second_o will_n put_v into_o the_o still_o meek_a delightful_a habitation_n and_o out_o of_o that_o very_a property_n a_o love-desire_n come_v to_o be_v 163._o thus_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o light_n in_o a_o sunilitude_n signify_v to_o we_o the_o divine_a substance_n also_o the_o soul_n and_o its_o image_n the_o matter_n out_o of_o which_o the_o fire_n burn_v signify_v the_o form_n to_o the_o eternal_a nature_n and_o the_o dark_a world_n and_o the_o fire_n signify_v the_o property_n of_o the_o father_n 164._o the_o glance_n or_o

virtue_n of_o the_o shine_a of_o the_o light_n signify_v the_o heart_n of_o god_n viz_o the_o divine_a centre_n as_o also_o the_o understanding_n '_o ingenium_fw-la or_o wit_n and_o wisdom_n for_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n stand_v the_o right_a life_n 166._o the_o twofold_a spirit_n which_o originate_v in_o the_o fire_n with_o a_o twofold_a source_n or_o quality_n viz_o heat_n and_o air_n signify_v to_o we_o in_o a_o similitude_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o heat_n signify_v the_o anger_n and_o fierce_a wrath_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o eternal_a nature_n of_o the_o dark_a world_n according_a to_o the_o property_n of_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o the_o meek_a airey_n signify_v the_o property_n of_o meek_a light_n in_o the_o love-desire_n out_o of_o the_o source_n or_o quality_n of_o the_o light_n 169._o the_o meekness_n of_o the_o light_n signify_v to_o we_o in_o a_o similitude_n the_o divine_a substantiality_n or_o the_o water_n of_o the_o eternal_a life_n wherein_o paradise_n be_v understand_v and_o in_o the_o fiery_a property_n heaven_n 168._o now_o we_o see_v how_o all_o fire_n draw_v the_o air_n again_o to_o itself_o and_o burn_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o air_n for_o where_o fire_n can_v have_v no_o air_n there_o it_o extinguish_v for_o the_o air_n blow_v up_o the_o fire_n and_o bring_v the_o substantiality_n of_o the_o light_n into_o the_o fire_n again_o viz_o the_o meekness_n of_o the_o light_n understand_v the_o watery_a matter_n whence_o the_o glance_n in_o the_o fire_n originate_v 169._o for_o the_o meekness_n originate_v from_o the_o liberty_n without_o beside_o or_o beyond_o the_o fire_n nature_n viz_o in_o the_o nothing_o and_o they_o ever_o pant_v the_o one_o after_o the_o other_o the_o fire_n or_o

manifest_v or_o reveal_v 170._o now_o we_o see_v that_o the_o light_n afford_v a_o very_a friendly_a rich_o joyful_a spirit_n out_o of_o the_o source_n or_o quality_n of_o the_o fire_n that_o
