A76959	The tree of Christian faith: being a true information, how a man may be one spirit with God, and what man must do to perform the works of God: in which is comprehended (compendiously) the whole Christian doctrine and faith. Item, what faith and doctrine is: an open gate of the great mystery of God out of the divine Magia, through the three principles of the divine being. / Written in High Dutch by Jacob Behmen.; Baum des christlichen Glaubens.

understand_v that_o the_o light_n be_v the_o master_n in_o all_o the_o form_n for_o it_o contain_v meekness_n and_o be_v a_o life_n which_o be_v beget_v by_o furious_a death_n as_o by_o a_o anguish_n quality_n in_o the_o sink_n as_o another_o principle_n which_o consist_v subsi_v in_o the_o fire_n without_o feeling_n yet_o it_o have_v its_o feel_n as_o the_o pleasant_a taste_n 41._o whereby_o we_o understand_v that_o the_o water_n be_v beget_v through_o death_n by_o the_o sink_n through_o the_o anguish_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o we_o understand_v further_o how_o it_o be_v no_o death_n at_o all_o and_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v a_o death_n 42._o but_o the_o light_n make_v it_o spring_v up_o that_o there_o be_v a_o life_n in_o it_o which_o life_n stand_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n where_o life_n spring_v up_o out_o of_o death_n 43._o and_o we_o understand_v the_o entity_n as_o the_o palpability_n for_o the_o water_n in_o itself_o be_v dead_a but_o the_o fiery_a life_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n be_v its_o life_n 44._o thus_o be_v the_o ens_fw-la esteem_v as_o dead_a in_o which_o life_n be_v a_o proper_a thing_n and_o possess_v itself_o in_o itself_o 45._o where_o the_o death_n of_o the_o ens_fw-la must_v afford_v a_o body_n into_o it_o as_o in_o our_o three_o book_n be_v demonstrate_v where_o we_o understand_v also_o two_o form_n in_o the_o life_n of_o light_n and_o in_o the_o water_n of_o death_n and_o after_o the_o anguish_n the_o three_o in_o the_o fire_n 46._o as_o first_o in_o the_o anguish_n of_o mortify_v in_o the_o fury_n of_o fire_n we_o understand_v a_o furious_a water_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o four_o quality_n unto_o nature_n as_o sharp_a bitter_a anguish_n and_o fire_n be_v like_a unto_o poison_n and_o it_o be_v a_o poison_n also_o a_o hellish_a entity_n in_o the_o fury_n after_o the_o original_a of_o the_o principle_n into_o which_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n spring_v 47._o and_o second_o we_o understand_v the_o second_o water_n in_o the_o lights-crack_a when_o the_o quality_n sink_v through_o the_o mortify_n and_o become_v in_o death_n as_o a_o nothing_o for_o in_o the_o nothing_o be_v the_o eternal_a freedom_n be_v the_o eternal_a abyss_n of_o eternity_n attain_v unto_o 48._o now_o if_o the_o incomprehensible_a light_n sink_v in_o itself_o give_v a_o glimpse_n into_o the_o eternity_n and_o continual_o replenish_v the_o sink_a then_o in_o the_o light_n spring_v up_o the_o power_n of_o the_o light_n that_o be_v a_o life_n out_o of_o death_n which_o be_v sink_v 49._o for_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o fire_n abide_v in_o the_o furious_a quality_n of_o the_o fiery_a water_n and_o do_v not_o go_v along_o into_o death_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v for_o the_o fierceness_n be_v the_o sharp_a omnipotent_a life_n which_o can_v die_v and_o that_o can_v reach_v unto_o the_o eternal_a freedom_n for_o it_o be_v call_v and_o abide_v in_o eternity_n the_o life_n of_o nature_n 50._o and_o though_o that_o in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o light_n there_o be_v find_v also_o a_o life_n of_o nature_n yet_o be_v it_o neither_o painful_a nor_o hellish_a as_o that_o in_o the_o original_a of_o nature_n after_o which_o god_n call_v himself_o a_o zealous_a angry_a god_n 51._o for_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o light_n come_v the_o water_n abroad_o which_o through_o death_n be_v sink_v into_o liberty_n a_o quality_n and_o water_n of_o the_o eternal_a life_n of_o joy_n in_o which_o meekness_n and_o love_n spring_v eternal_o 52._o where_o it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o sink_n but_o a_o spring_a up_o which_o be_v call_v paradise_n 53._o and_o the_o move_a out_o of_o the_o water_n spring_n be_v call_v element_n that_o be_v pure_a element_n in_o the_o angelical_a world_n 54._o and_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o light_n be_v the_o eternal_a firmament_n in_o which_o be_v reveal_v the_o eternal_a knowledge_n in_o god_n wisdom_n a_o similitude_n whereof_o we_o have_v in_o the_o outer_a firmament_n and_o star_n 55._o thus_o we_o understand_v two_o world_n one_o in_o another_o where_o the_o one_o do_v not_o comprehend_v the_o other_o as_o one_o in_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o fiery_a nature_n in_o the_o water_n of_o poison_n and_o anguish_n quality_n in_o which_o the_o devil_n do_v dwell_v 56._o and_o then_o also_o one_o in_o the_o light_n where_o the_o water_n of_o light_n out_o of_o the_o anguish_n be_v sink_v into_o the_o eternal_a freedom_n which_o the_o poison_n water_n may_v neither_o comprehend_v nor_o reach_v 57_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o divide_v but_o only_o through_o death_n where_o it_o do_v separate_v itself_o in_o two_o principle_n and_o be_v divide_v in_o two_o life_n as_o the_o one_o in_o wrath_n and_o the_o other_o in_o love_n which_o life_n be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o true_a life_n of_o god_n 58._o and_o herein_o stand_v the_o ground_n that_o as_o we_o go_v forth_o with_o adam_n out_o of_o this_o life_n into_o a_o external_a life_n for_o who_o sake_n god_n also_o become_v man_n which_o be_v to_o bring_v we_o again_o through_o this_o death_n and_o out_o of_o the_o furious_a quality_n out_o of_o the_o anguish_n of_o the_o fire_n of_o life_n through_o death_n into_o the_o light_n and_o life_n of_o love_n 59_o where_o indeed_o the_o door_n of_o death_n be_v lock_v in_o the_o fury_n in_o the_o humane_a soul_n where_o the._n soul_n stand_v in_o the_o anguish_n quality_n in_o the_o inner_a nature_n in_o the_o fire_n of_o poison_n as_o in_o the_o water_n of_o anguish_n 60._o there_o the_o prince_n christ_n break_v the_o lock_n of_o death_n and_o be_v spring_v up_o again_o with_o his_o humane_a soul_n through_o death_n in_o the_o light_n of_o god_n and_o now_o its_o life_n lead_v death_n captive_a and_o death_n be_v become_v a_o ignominy_n 61._o for_o by_o this_o closure_n lucifer_n intend_v to_o become_v a_o lord_n and_o a_o omnipotent_a prince_n 62._o but_o when_o the_o closure_n be_v break_v than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o deity_n in_o the_o light_n destroy_v his_o kingdom_n there_o he_o become_v a_o imprison_a servant_n for_o god_n light_n and_o the_o water_n of_o meekness_n be_v its_o death_n for_o wrath_n be_v kill_v thereby_o 63._o thus_o go_v love_n and_o light_n into_o wrath_n with_o the_o paradisical_a element_n and_o also_o the_o water_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o god_n wrath_n be_v quench_v 64._o and_o continue_v only_o in_o itself_o a_o anguish_a furious_a quality_n when_o its_o body_n be_v a_o poison_n a_o quality_n of_o a_o poison_a water_n 65._o and_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o god_n fire_n into_o the_o matrix_fw-la of_o eternal_a nature_n as_o into_o the_o austere_a sharpness_n which_o beget_v eternal_a darkness_n wherein_o the_o the_o devil_n lead_v the_o severe_a government_n in_o the_o anguish_a mercury_n and_o be_v as_o one_o that_o be_v put_v to_o shame_n or_o that_o be_v expel_v 66._o who_o at_o the_o original_a be_v a_o prince_n but_o go_v now_o only_o for_o a_o executioner_n a_o graceless_a servant_n who_o remain_v in_o the_o fury_n of_o god_n like_o a_o hangman_n which_o do_v execution_n upon_o evil_a doer_n be_v command_v by_o his_o superior_n further_o he_o have_v no_o power_n 67._o though_o he_o be_v a_o deceiver_n and_o catch_v after_o many_o to_o increase_v his_o kingdom_n that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v numerous_a and_o not_o be_v ashamed_a in_o a_o few_o 68_o he_o be_v like_o a_o whore_n have_v many_o of_o her_o condition_n she_o excuse_v the_o matter_n that_o she_o be_v not_o alone_a a_o whore_n she_o be_v as_o other_o be_v so_o he_o covet_v after_o a_o numerous_a multitude_n thereby_o to_o mock_v god_n 69._o for_o he_o still_o blame_v god_n for_o his_o fall_n as_o if_o his_o fury_n have_v thus_o draw_v he_o and_o precipitate_v he_o into_o such_o a_o will_n into_o pride_n that_o he_o can_v not_o subsist_v 70._o he_o suppose_v that_o he_o can_v draw_v many_o unto_o he_o to_o increase_v his_o kingdom_n that_o he_o get_v a_o great_a many_o which_o will_v do_v like_o himself_o and_o curse_n god_n and_o justify_v themselves_o that_o this_o be_v his_o strength_n and_o pleasure_n in_o his_o dark_a sharp_a anguish_n when_o he_o still_o rouze_v the_o fire_n up_o unto_o himself_o and_o go_v above_o the_o throne_n so_o he_o still_o count_v himself_o a_o prince_n and_o king_n 71._o though_o he_o be_v evil_a yet_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n in_o his_o legion_n in_o the_o wrath_n in_o his_o creature_n but_o with_o the_o wrath_n without_o his_o creature_n he_o have_v no_o power_n whereby_o he_o remain_v a_o impotent_a prisoner_n 72._o thus_o understand_v the_o humane_a life_n in_o two_o form_n the_o one_o after_o the_o fire_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o other_o after_o the_o fire_n of_o light_n which_o burn_v in_o love_n in_o

and_o spend_v his_o earthly_a life_n about_o it_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n give_v over_o unless_o he_o have_v break_v the_o earthly_a will_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o sharp_a war_n where_o two_o

the_o victory_n he_o must_v break_v the_o power_n of_o the_o earthly_a will_n which_o yet_o out_o of_o his_o own_o power_n he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v 22._o but_o if_o he_o do_v sink_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o earthly_a reason_n into_o christ_n death_n with_o his_o inner_a will_n than_o he_o sink_v through_o christ_n death_n through_o god_n fury_n and_o through_o all_o the_o let_v and_o stop_v of_o the_o devil_n into_o the_o paradisical_a world_n into_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n 23._o he_o must_v make_v his_o will_n as_o if_o it_o be_v dead_a than_o he_o live_v unto_o god_n and_o work_v into_o the_o love_n of_o god_n though_o he_o live_v in_o the_o external_a kingdom_n 24._o i_o speak_v of_o the_o warlike_a garland_n which_o he_o gete_v in_o the_o paradisical_a world_n if_o he_o once_o press_v through_o for_o there_o be_v then_o sow_v the_o noble_a seed_n there_o he_o get_v that_o most_o dear_a pledge_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o afterward_o lead_v and_o guide_v he_o 25._o and_o although_o he_o must_v walk_v in_o this_o world_n in_o a_o dark_a vail_n when_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o worldly_a wickedness_n still_o assault_v he_o and_o many_o time_n flinge_v

against_o all_o the_o rage_a of_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o complice_n 27._o and_o the_o more_o the_o noble_a pearl_n tree_n be_v seek_v the_o more_o forcible_o and_o powerful_o it_o grow_v it_o will_v not_o be_v suppress_v though_o it_o shall_v cost_v the_o external_a life_n 28._o thus_o my_o dear_a mind_n search_v after_o the_o tree_n of_o thy_o christian_a faith_n right_o it_o do_v not_o

24._o for_o he_o have_v two_o friend_n which_o still_o draw_v he_o each_o will_v be_v in_o the_o image_n and_o bring_v his_o quality_n into_o it_o as_o the_o inner_a fire_n and_o also_o the_o

for_o all_o reach_v after_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n and_o after_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o joy_n kingdom_n 27._o now_o there_o lie_v a_o necessity_n upon_o the_o image_n to_o defend_v herself_o

in_o that_o mystery_n 31._o where_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o inner_a fiery_a life_n still_o ride_v forth_o into_o the_o outer_a earthly_a life_n in_o pride_n covetousness_n and_o falsehood_n over_o the_o noble_a image_n and_o will_v bring_v she_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o anguish_n life_n and_o break_v she_o 32._o for_o he_o still_o suppose_v that_o the_o place_n of_o this_o world_n be_v his_o
