a greater fullnesse of the Glance or Lustre than another childe out of another body although thou evill Beast art scarce worthy to have this told thee thou art such a devourer yet because the Counsell of God hath concluded so q It shall be manifested it shall stand for a witnesse against thee in thy Judgement 88. Behold doest thou know how a childe cometh to be flesh and bloud and in the end a living soule and doe you not know that the Tincture of the Mother is the first when a childe shall be conceived which is done in the desire of the will between Man and Woman where then the seede for the childe is sowen and then the Tincture in the Matrix assumeth it with the mixture of the L mbus of the Man And though the outward Mother doth not desire to have r Or the impregnation the childe but desireth many times onely to have her pleasure yet the inward Mother doth desire it and also first of all impregnateth it selfe in the Tincture and then attracteth the Å¿ Or the Word which then formeth and createth Fiat to it and holdeth the Limbus of the Man and becometh impregnated 89. But now that Tincture qualifieth or mixeth with the whole body and also with the soule for if it the Tincture be faithfull then it reacheth the virgin of God in the Element and it is rightly the habitation of the holy soule in which God assisteth t The soule it 90. Now thus the childe qualifieth or mixeth with the Mother and with all Essences till it kindleth the light of Life and then the childe liveth in its own spirit and the Mother is its dwelling house but now seeing the soule of the childe is generated out of the Limbus and out of the Essences of the Mother therefore u The soule of the childe it is indeed halfe the Mothers though now it is become the proper own of it selfe 91. Thus also in Christ the will to the childe was the Mothers when the Angel declared the Message to her and the Tincture which received the Limbus of God and brought it into the will that shee was thus impregnated in the Element that was also the Mothers and thus the Deity was conceived in the Mothers Tincture in her will like another naturall childe 92. Seeing then that the soule of her childe was in the holy Trinity what doest thou think here being it went forth out of the Mothers Essences whether might not the holinesse of the childe especially his high Light in the Mother shine bright and gloriously and whether this Mother may not rightly stand upon the Moone and despise that which is earthly as is to be seene in the Revelations of Saint John 93. For shee bare the Saviour of all the world without any earthly mixture and shee is also a virgin of chastity highly blessed by her Sonne Jesus Christ in the Divine Light and Clarity x Or above the clarity of the Heavens more than the Heavens like the Princely Thrones of the Angels For out of her went forth the body which attracteth all members to it which are the children of God in Christ And therefore her Glance Lustre or brightnesse is above the Glance of Heaven and the Glance of her soule is in the holy Trinity where all other children of Adam which are borne or begotten in Christ are also Members therein in that One Christ Jesus 94. Or doest thou think I make a God of her no the Invocation doth not belong to her for the might or ability to helpe cometh onely out of the Father through the Sonne for in the Father onely is the source or fountaine of the Omnipotence which he in the Sonne speaketh forth for the might of the strength is in the first Principle which is the Father himselfe and the Sonne is his Love and y Brightnesse or Glance Light so now the virgin Mary dwelleth in the Heaven in the Light and in the Love of the Father as also all other Saints doe 95. But that they feine or babble that shee was taken up into heaven alive with soule and body and that shee can carry our miseries and present them before her Sonne I would faine know what understanding and knowledge the Author of such an invented fable hath had of the kingd me of Heaven surely he tooke the kingdome of this world to be Heaven 96. I let it passe and it is true that shee may be in Heaven with body and soule but with such a body as Moses and Elias had upon Mount Tabor in the Apparition before Christ at his Transfiguration viz. that new body out of the Element the transitorie corruptible body belongeth to the Earth for if wee could have subsisted in God with this transitory and corruptible body God would not have become Man and have dyed for us Even as all the Apostles of Christ are dead and yet live and so may it also be that the body of the virgin was changed into a heavenly and laid off the Earthly What doth that availe us Shee is no Goddesse 97. And the Invocation of the Saints is wholly against the nature of the first Principle Shee is with God indeed wee need not to dispute that but wee should onely look to it that wee also may come to her where shee is in her Sonne and then wee shall have eternall joy with her for that shee is from the Grace of God become the blessed of all Women and that wee see the greene Lilly twigge on her and that shee is the Mother of our salvation out of whom salvation is borne through God Of z Or purifying Fire Purgatorie 98. That invented and well forged Purgatory hath some ground in Nature but in such a way as it is taught it is a lye and the greedy desire of filling the unsatiable Belly of the fierce ravening Beast sticketh therein for it hath founded its kingdome of Heaven thereon and hath taken upon it to have the Keys of Peter which it never had at all to open and shut Purgatorie 99. Yet I grant that it hath the Key to open Purgatory with but the other Key which it hath will not open the kingdome of Heaven But onely the rich Chist of Gold out of which the supposed Maids or virgins receive their wages and are sent with brave passports into Purgatory then the a The Whore the Apostate unfaithfull soule Strumpet thinketh shee goeth to Heaven to Saint Peter and thus the false God beguileth the false Goddesse 100. O! thou blinde world with thy forged Masses for soules such as thy Blessing is such thou art thy selfe thou doest all for money if nothing be given thee thou wilt keep no Solemnity or Procession If thou wilt pray for thy Neighbours soule doe so while it is between Heaven and Hell in the body of this world then thou mayest effect somewhat and it is very pleasing and acceptable to God that thou desirest to be one
would not generate a perfect Paradisicall Man out of himselfe but an infected poysoned Man according to the lust and would fall into corruptibility And the Text in Moses soundeth further very right thus And God let a deep sleep fall upon Man and he slept or fell asleepe CHAP. XII Of the Opening of the holy Scripture that the Circumstances may be highly considered The Golden Gate which God affordeth to the last world wherein the Lilly shall flourish and blossome 1. LOving Reader I had need have an Angelicall Tongue for this description and thou an Angelicall Minde and then wee should well understand one another But seeing wee have them not therefore wee will expresse the Great Deeds of God with the earthly Tongue according to our received gift and knowledge and open the Scripture to the Reader and give him occasion to consider further whereby the Pearle might be sought and found at last therefore wee will worke in our Day-labour a And leade them that come after us into it according to our duty till the b Or Gate Pearle of the Lilly be found 2. Reason asketh How long was Adam in Paradise before his Fall and how long did the Temptation last I cannot tell thee that out of Moses description of the Creation for it is for great cause concealed yet I will shew thee the wonders of God and c Or search into them expound them according to the knowledge that is given mee whereby thou mayst the better learne to d Or understand consider the Temptation and the Fall of Adam 3. Beloved Reason look into the Glasse of the actions and deeds of God When God appeared to Moses in the e Or fire flaming burning Bush he said Pull off thy shooes for here is a holy place What was that Answer God shewed Moses thereby his earthly Birth For he would give him a Law wherein Man should live if it were possible and attaine salvation But who was it that gave the Law and commanded Man to live therein Answer It was God the Father out of his Centre and therefore it was done with fire and thunder for there is no fire and thunder in the heart of God but kinde love 4. Hereupon Reason will say is not God the Father one and the same Essence with the Sonne Answer Yes they are one essence and will By what meanes then did he give the Law Answer By the Spirit of the great world because Adam after the Fall and all men lived f In the Spirit of the great world therein therefore it must be tried whether man could live g In the Law therein in confidence towards God therefore he established it with great wonders or miracles and gave h The Law it clarity shining brightnesse or glory as may be seene in Moses who had a glorious bright shining face and when he had chosen to himselfe this people he destroyed the children of unbeliefe and brought i His chosen them out with wonders into the W●ldernesse and there it was tried whether men could live in perfect obedience under this clarity Glory or brightnesse 5. What was done there Answer Moses was called by God out from among the children of Israel up into Mount Sinai and stayed there forty dayes and then he would trie the people whether it were possible for them to put their trust or confidence in God that they might be fed with k Manna heavenly Bread that so they might attaine perfection And there now stood the minde Majoris mundi of the l Or Macrocosme great world and on the contrary the eternall minde of God in strife one against another God required obedience and the minde of this world required or desired the pleasure of this transitory life as eating drinking playing dancing therefore they chose them moreover their Belly-God a Golden Calfe that they might be free and live without Law 6. Here you see againe how the three Principles strove one against another about Man The Law that was given to Adam in the Garden of Eden brake forth againe and desired to have obedience in like manner also the Spirit of strong fiercenesse or wrath brake forth againe in the false fruit and voluptuousnesse and sought the corruptible life And this strife now lasted forty dayes before they set up the Calfe and fell wholly like Adam from God so long the strife of the three Principles continued 7. But now when they were fallen away from God as Adam was then came Moses with Josuah and saw the apostacie or falling away and brake the Tables in pieces and led them in the Wildernesse where they must all die except Josua and Caleb for the clarity or brightnesse of the Father in the fire in the first Principle could not bring them into the promised Land and although they did eate Manna yet it did not helpe in the triall onely Josua and at length JESUS must doe it 8. And when the time came that the true Champion or Saviour returned againe out of Paradise and became the childe of the Virgin then the strife of the three Principles m Was renewed came againe For there he was againe set before the tempting Tree and he must endure the hard brunt before the tempting Tree and stand out the temptation of the three Principles which was not possible for the first Adam to doe And there the strife continued forty dayes and forty nights just so long as the strife with Adam in Paradise continued and not an houre longer and then the Champion or Saviour overcame therefore open your eyes aright and look upon the Scripture aright although it be briefe and obscure to reason yet it is very true 9. You finde not in Moses that Adam was driven out of Paradise the first day the temptation of Israel and of Christ informeth us quite otherwise for the temptation of Christ is to a tittle in all Circumstances the same with the temptation of Adam 10. For Adam was tempted forty dayes in Paradise in the Garden of Eden before the tempting Tree and tried whether he could stand whether he could set his inclination on the heart of God and onely eate of the Verbum Domini the Word of the Lord and then if he had stood God would have given him his body the heavenly Limbus to eate that he should eate it in his mouth not into his body he should have brought forth the childe of the Virgin out of himselfe for he was neither Man nor Woman male nor female he had the Matrix and also the Man or masculine nature in him and should have brought forth the Virgin full of modesty and chastity out of the Matrix without rending of his body 11. And here is the strife in the Revelation of John where a Woman brought forth a sonne which the Dragon and the n Or Serpent Worme would devour and there stood the Virgin upon the earthly Moone and despiseth the earthinesse and treadeth it
all three 52. But it was the law and will of the virgin that as God ruleth over all things and e Mouldeth or Imageth imprinteth himselfe every where and giveth vertue and life to all and yet the thing comprehendeth him not although he be certainly there so also should the soule f Or have continued in true Resignation stand still and the forme of the virgin should governe in the soule and crowne it with the divine light the soule should be the comely young man which was created and the vertue or power of God should be the faire virgin and the light of God should be the faire orient Pearle and Crowne wherewith the virgin would adorn the young man 53. But the young man desired to have the virgin to be his own which could not be because shee was a degree higher in the birth than he for the virgin was from Eternity and the Bridegroom was given to her that shee should have joy and delight with him in God 54. But now when the young man could not obtaine this of the virgin then he reached back after the Worme in his own Centre For the forme of this world pressed very powerfully upon him which also was in the soule and this forme would faine have had the virgin to be its own that he might make her his g Or Woman wife as was done in the Fall yet the wife was not from the Pearle but out of the spirit of this world for it viz. the nature of this world continually groaneth or longeth after the virgin that it might be delivered from vanity and it meaneth to qualifie or mingle with the virgin but that cannot be for the virgin is of a higher h Or descent Birth 55. And yet when this world shall breake in pieces and be delivered from the vanity of the Worm it shall not obtaine the virgin but i This world it must continue without spirit and k Or soule Worme under its own shadow in a faire and sweet rest without any wrestling strugling or desiring for thereby it cometh into its highest degree and beauty and ceaseth or resteth eternally from its labour For the Worme which here tormenteth it goeth into its owne Principle and no more toucheth the shadow nor the figure of this world to eternity and then the virgin governeth with her Bridegroom 56. My beloved Reader I will set it you downe more plainely for every one hath not the l Or the light of the wisdome Pearle to apprehend the virgin and yet every one would faine know how the fall of Adam was Behold as I mentioned even now the soule hath all the three Principles in it viz. the most inward which is the Worme or Brimstone spirit and the source according to which it is a Spirit and then it hath the divine vertue which maketh the Worme meeke bright and joyfull according to which the Worm or Spirit is an Angel like God the Father himselfe understand in such a manner and birth and then also it hath the Principle of this world wholly undivided in one another and yet none of the three Principles comprehendeth the other for they are three Principles or three Births 57. Behold the Worme is the eternall and in it selfe peculiarly a Principle the other two Principles are given to it each by a Birth the one to the right the other to the left Now it is possible for it to loose both the formes and Births that are given to it for if it reach back into the strong or tart power or might of the Fire and become false to the virgin then shee departeth from it and shee continueth as a figure in the Centre and then the doore of the m Or Wisdome of God virgin is shut 58. Now if thou wilt turne to the virgin againe then thou must be borne anew through the Water in the Centre and through the Holy Ghost and then thou shalt receive her againe with greater honour and joy of which Christ said There will be more joy in heaven for one sinner that repenteth than for ninety and nine righteous who need no repentance so very gloriously is the poore sinner received againe of the virgin that n The converted soule it must no more be a shadow but a living and understanding Creature and an Angel of God This joy none can expresse onely a regenerate soule knoweth it which the body understandeth not but it trembleth and knoweth not what is done to it 59. These two formes or Principles the Worme looseth at the departing of the body although indeed it continueth in the figure which yet is but of a Serpent and it is a o Or gnawing torment to it that it was an Angel and is now a horrible fierce poysonous Worme and Spirit of which the Scripture saith That the Worme of the wicked dyeth not and their plague torment or source continueth eternally If the Worme had had no Angelicall and humane forme then its source torment or plague would not have been so great but that causeth it to have an eternall anxious desire and yet it can attaine nothing it knoweth the shadow of the Glory it had and can never more live therein 60. This therefore in briefe is the Ground of what can be spoken of the Fall of Adam in the highest Depth Adam hath lost the p Divine wisdome virgin by his lust and hath received the q Or Wife Woman in his lust which is a r Subject to corruption and mingled with it Cagastrish person and the virgin waiteth still continually for him to see whether he will step againe into the new Birth and then she will receive him againe with great Glory therefore thou childe of man consider thy selfe I write here what I certainly know and he that hath seene it witnesseth it or else I also should not have knowne it CHAP. XIII Of the Creating of the Woman out of Adam The fleshly miserable and darke Gate 1. I Can scarce write for griefe but seeing it cannot be otherwise therefore wee will for a while weare the Garment of the Woman but yet live in the virgin and although wee receive or suffer much affliction in the Garment of the Woman yet the virgin will recompence it well enough and thus wee must be Å¿ Schleppen begirt surrounded bound with the t With fragility or with the earthly Tabernacle Woman till we send her to the Grave and then shee shall be a shadow and a figure and the virgin shall be our Bride and precious Crowne shee will give us her u The divine brightnesse Pearle and Crowne and cloath us with her ornaments for which wee will give the venter for the Lillies sake And though wee shall raise a great storme and though Antichrist teare away the Woman from us yet the virgin must continue with us because wee are married to her let every one take its own and then I shall have that which
is mine 2. Now when Adam was thus in the Garden of Eden and the three Principles having produced such a strife in him his Tincture was quite wearied and the virgin departed For the Lust-Spirit in Adam had overcome and therfore he sunk down into a sleep The same houre his heavenly body became flesh and bloud and his strong vertue or power became bones and then the virgin went into her Ether and shadow yet into the heavenly Ether into the Principle of the vertue or power and there waiteth upon all the children of Adam expecting whether any will receive her for their Bride againe by the x Regeneration New Birth But what now was God to doe He had created Adam out of his eternall will and because it could not now be that Adam should generate out of himselfe the virgin in a Paradificall manner therefore God put the Fiat of the great world into the midst For Adam was now falne y Or into the bosome of the Fiat home againe to the Fiat as a halfe broken Person Now therefore seeing he was halfe killed by his own lust and imagination that he might live God must help him againe and if he be now to generate a Kingdome then there must be a Woman as all other Beasts have a Female for propagation The Angelicall kingdome in Adam was gone therefore now there must be z Or a propagated generation a kingdome of this world 4. Then what was it that God now did with Adam Moses saith When Adam slept he took one of his ribs and made or built a Woman of it viz. of the rib which he took from Man and closed up the place with flesh Now Moses hath written very right but who is it that can understand him here If I did not know the first Adam in his virgin like forme in Paradise then I had been at a stand and should have known no other than that Adam had been made flesh and bloud of a lump of Earth and his wife Eve of his rib and hard bones which before the time of my knowledge hath oft seemed very strange and wonderfull to my thoughts when I have read the a Expositions and Marginall notes Glosses upon Moses that so high or deep learned men should write so of it b Damascenus some of them will dare to tell of a Pit in the Orient or East Countrey out of which Adam should be taken and made as a Potter maketh a vessell or Pot. 5. If I had not considered the Scripture which plainly saith Whatsoever is borne of flesh is flesh Also Flesh and bloud shall not inherit the kingdome of Heaven Also None goeth into Heaven but the son of Man viz. the pure virgin which came from Heaven and which is in Heaven which was very helpfull to mee to think that the childe of the virgin was the Angel which hath restored againe all that which was lost in Adam for God brought againe in the Woman in her virgin-like body the virgin childe which Adam should generate And now if I had not considered the Text in Moses where God saith It is not good that man should be alone wee will make a helpe for him I should yet have stuck in the c Or in the earthly thoughts will of the Woman 6. But that Text saith God looked upon all that he had made and behold it was all very good Now if it were good in the Creation then it must needs have become evill when God said afterward it is not good for Man to be alone If God would have had them like all beasts to have a beastiall propagation he would at one and the same instant at first have made a Man and a Woman But that God did abominate the beastiall propagation it appeared plainly in the first childe of the Woman Cain the murtherer of his brother also the fruit or the curse of the earth sheweth it plainly enough But what shall I spend the time for with these testimonies the proofe of it will cleerly follow And it is to be proved not onely in the Scripture which yet maketh a cover over it but in all things if we would take time to doe it and spend our labour about vaine and unprofitable things 7. Now thus saith Reason What are then the words of Moses concerning the Woman to which I say Moses hath written right but I living thus d In the divided transitorinesse in the Woman understand it not right Moses indeed had a brightened or glorified face or countenance but he must hang a vaile before it so that none could see his face But when the sonne of the virgin e The Eternall wisdome of the Father viz. the virgin wisdome came he looked him in the face and did the vaile away 8. Then Reason asketh What was the rib taken out of Adam to be made a Woman The Gate of the Depth Behold the virgin sheweth us this that when Adam was overcome and the virgin passed into her Ether then the Tincture wherein the faire virgin had dwelt became earthy weary feeble and weake for the powerfull roote of the Tincture from whence it had its potency without any sleepe or rest viz. the heavenly Matrix which f Or is the foundation of containeth Paradise and the Kingdome of Heaven withdrew in Adam and went into its g Aire or receptacle Ether 9. Keader understand and consider it aright the Deity viz. the faire virgin is not h Broken destroyed and come to nothing that cannot be onely shee is remaining in the divine Principle and the Spirit or the soule of Adam is with its own proper Worme remaining in the third Principle of this world But the virgin viz. the divine vertue or power standeth in Heaven and in Paradise and beholdeth her selfe in the earthly quality of the soule viz. in the i In the heavenly and not in the earthly part thereof Sunne and not in the Moone understand in the highest point of the Spirit of this world where the Tincture is noblest and most cleare from whence the minde of man doth exist 10. And shee would faine returne againe into her place to her Bridegroome if the earthly flesh with the earthly minde and senses or thoughts did not hinder or were not in the way for the virgin doth not goe into them shee will not be bound to or in the earthly Centre shee finisheth the whole time while the Woman liveth in her stead of her speculation with longing and much calling admonishing and hearty seeking but to the regenerate shee appeareth in a high triumphing manner in the Centre of the minde shee also often diveth into the Tincture of the bloud of the heart whereby the body with the minde and senses come to tremble and triumph so highly as if it were in Paradise it also presently getteth a Paradisicall will 11. And there the noble Graine of Mustard-seed is sowne of which Christ saith That it is at
first small and afterwards groweth to be like a great Tree so far or so long as the minde persevereth in the will but the noble virgin stayeth not continually for her Birth is of a higher descent and therefore shee dwelleth not in earthly vessels but shee sometimes visiteth her Bridegroom at a time when he is desirous of her although shee alwaies with observancy preventeth and calleth him before he calleth her which is onely understood in the Lilly this the Spirit speaketh in a high and worthy seriousnesse therefore observe it ye children of God the Angel of the great Councell cometh in the valley of Jehosaphat with a Golden Charter which he selleth for Oyle without Money whosoever cometh shall have it 12. Now when the Tincture was become thus earthy and feeble by the overcoming of the Spirit of the great world then it could not generate in a heavenly manner and was also possessed with inability and then the Counsell of God stood there and said Seeing he is become earthly and is not able to propagate wee will make a help for him and the Fiat stood in the Centre and severed the Matrix from the Limbus and the Fiat took a rib in the midst of Adam out of his right side and created a Woman out of it 13. But you must cleerly understand or conceive that when the Fiat to the creating of the woman was in Adam in his sleepe his body had not then such hard grissles and bones O no that came to passe first when Mother ●ve did bite the Apple and also gave to Adam onely the infection and the earthly death with the fainting and mortall sicknesse stuck in them the bones and ribs were yet strength and vertue from which the ribs should come to be 14. But you must highly and worthily understand and consider how it was taken out of his side not as a spirit but wholly in substance thus it may be said that Adam did get a rent and the Woman beareth Adams spirit flesh and bones yet there is some difference in the Spirit for the Woman beareth the Matrix and Adam the Limbus or Man and they two are one flesh undivided in nature for now they two together must generate one man againe which one alone could doe before A Pleasant Gate 15. Wee being here in describing the corruptibility of Adam the Spirit frameth in our thoughts a heavenly mystery concerning Adams rib which the Fiat took from him and made a Woman of it which Rib Adam afterwards must want for the Text in Moses rightly saith God closed up the place with flesh 16. But now the k The malice or fierce rage wrath of the Serpent hath so brought it to passe that Adam is fallen in the lust and yet the purpose of God must stand for l Mankinde Adam must rise againe at the day of the Resurrection wholly and unbroken in the first Image as he was created So likewise the Serpent and the Devill hath brought it about that so terrible a Rent is made in him wherefore the Spirit sheweth us that as little as the Worme or Spirit of the soule could be helped except that the virgin came and did goe into Death in the Worme in the abysse of the Spirit of the soule which in its own abysse reacheth the Gate of Hell and the fierce anger of God and regenerate m Adam him anew and make him a new Creature in the first Image which is done in the sonne of the virgin in Christ 17. So little also could Adams Rib and his hollow-side where it stood be helped healed or brought to perfection except that the second Adam Christ suffer himselfe in the virgin to be wounded pierced or cut in the same place that his precious bloud might come to helpe the first Adam and repaire his broken side againe this of high and precious worth wee speake according to our knowledge which when we shall write of the suffering and death of Christ the Sonne of the virgin wee will so cleere it that thou O thirsty soule shalt finde a living fountaine which shall be little beneficiall to the Devill Further concerning the Woman 18. Reason asketh Is Eve meerely created out of the Rib taken out of Adam then shee should be far inferiour to Adam No beloved Reason it is not so the Fiat being a sharp attracting tooke from Adam of all essences and properties of every vertue but it took from him no more members in substance for the Image should be a man after a masculine kinde in the Limbus yet not at all with this deformity Understand it rightly in the ground he should be and he was also a man and he had a virgin-like heart wholly chaste in the Matrix 19. Therefore Eve was for certaine created out of all Adams Essences and so Adam thereupon had a great Rent and so likewise the Woman might come to her perfection to be the Image of God and this againe sheweth a great mystery wherehy the virgin very preciously witnesseth againe that the sonne of the virgin hath not onely suffered his side to be pierced through and shed his bloud out of the hole of his side but he hath also suffered his hands and feete to be struck through and a Crowne of thornes to be pressed upon his head so that the bloud gushed out from thence and in his body he endured to be whipped so that his bloud run down all over So very lowly hath the Sonne of the virgin debased-himselfe to n To heale help the sick and broken Adam and his weak and imperfect Eve to repaire them and bring them againe into the first Glory 20. Therefore you must know for certain that Eve was created out of all Adams Essences but there were no more ribs nor members broken from Adam which appeareth by the feeblenesse and weaknesse of the Woman and also by the Command of God who said Thy will shall be in subjection under thy Man or husband and he shall be thy Lord or Ruler because the Man is whole and perfect except a Rib therefore the Woman is a help for him and must help him to doe his work in humility and subjection and the Man must know that shee is very weak being out of his Essences he must help her in her weaknesse and love her as his own Essences in like manner the Woman must put her Essences and will into the Essences and will of the Man and be friendly towards her Man or husband that the Man may take delight in his own Essences in the Woman and that they two might be but one only will For they are one flesh one bone one heart and generate children in one onely will which are neither the Mans nor the Womans alone but of both together as if they were from one onely body And therefore the severe commandement of God is set before the children that they should with earnestnesse and subjection honour their father and mother upon paine of
of Hell he hath willed it but that kingdome is not called God there is yet another Principle and fast inclosure between but in the second Principle where God a Or manifesteth himselfe appeareth he hath not willed it Indeed all is Gods But the first Principle is the Band of Eternity which maketh it selfe from whence God the Father issueth forth from Eternity into the second Principle and therein he generateth his Heart and Sonne from Eternity to Eternity and there the holy Ghost goeth forth from the Father and the Sonne and not in the first Principle and Man is created for the second Principle 14. And therefore also the Heart of the second Principle by himselfe hath new regenerated him Man out of the Band of the first Principle and delivered him from the harsh or wrathfull Band and each Principle shall stand to it selfe in its own Eternity And yet God alone is Lord and alone Almighty but the Eternall Band is Indissoluble or else the Deity also would be dissoluble but now all must be to his honour glory and joy and he is alone the Creator of all things and all must stand naked before him as the Scripture saith Thou shalt see and rejoyce when the wicked are recompenced whereas in the second Principle there is no desire of revenge b As the light of the fire doth not consume any thing at all but in the sharpnesse of the breaking through out of the first Principle into the second where the soule straineth through from the torment into the joy there it rejoyceth that the c Hunter or Tormentor Driver who plagued and vexed it is imprisoned and because now it is securely freed from him even as it is the joy of the Kingdome of Heaven that the Devill in the first Principle is imprisoned so that he cannot molest the Heaven any more and kindle the habitation of the Element 15. Therefore there is also very great Joy in Heaven d At. for this world because there is a Principle generated so that the Devill can make no more use of the fierce wrath which he powred forth and kindled in the time of his Creation but is imprisoned between the e The second and the third two Principles which are both Good 16. Thus you must understand what it is or meaneth when the Scripture speaketh of revenging the ungodly that there is joy in the Saints at it for the fierce wrath or grimnesse and the source or torment of Hell is the f As the fires consuming is the joy of the light Joy of the Heaven for if there were no source or paine there would be g As there would be no light without fire no flowing up or springing but if the light cometh to be in the fierce austere soure source then there is meere Joy and in the Darknesse there is a peculiar enmity in it selfe and therein is the Eternall Worme generated 17. Therefore wee must know that God as he is all in all so where he is not in the love in the light there he is in the darknesse in the fiercenesse and source or torment for before the time of the Creation there was nothing but the source and over it the Deity which continueth in Eternity there is no other ground you can finde nothing more therefore give over your deep searching for it is the end of Nature 18. Although such h Or manifestations Revelations have been hidden or concealed from the beginning of the world yet because i The world it must now goe into its Ether and into the breaking through therefore all standeth naked whatsoever hath been hidden in Nature and there shall very great things which have been hidden be revealed or manifested and this k Mysterium Mysterie is the break of Day Therefore it is time to awake for the awakening of the dead is neere at hand 19. Now when God had pronounced his sentence upon Adam and ordained the Treader upon the Serpent for him for his comfort and assistance in his toyle and misery upon Earth then he pronounced Eves sentence also and established her perfectly to be a Woman of this world and said to her Thou shalt beare Children with much paine and thy wilt shall be in subjection to thy Husband or Man and he shall be thy Lord and I will cause many paines to thee when thou art conceived with childe 20. And here it is as cleere as the Sunne that it was not intended that Man in the beginning should generate in such a manner for it should all have been done without l Or Smart paine without Beastiall m Conception or growing big with childe impregnation without a wife or Woman and without a Husband or Man And therefore the Treader upon the Serpent was borne of a virgin without the seede of Man although now that also must be to be done in such a humane manner yet that was to this end onely that the Deity might enter into flesh and so might generate the soule of flesh againe out of the dark flesh out of Death into Life But else the Saviour or Champion is wholly the Virgins Sonne and a virgin-minde as the first Adam was in the Creation for you must earnestly and accurately consider and understand what manner of Person he is 21. First he is God and is in the Father of Eternity generated out of the Father of Eternity from Eternity without beginning and end out of the Depth of the Allmightinesse out of the broken Gates of the Sharpnesse or Depths of God in the Joy or habitation where the Father n Or begetteth attracteth the pleasant Joy in his Eternall will whereby the will is impregnated with the attracted vertue of the light out of which impregnation the Father o Or comprehendeth conceiveth the other or second will to generate the vertue and that conception or comprehension is his Word which the Father speaketh out of the will p For or to be the will before the will out of himselfe and this speaking remaineth in the mouth of the Father as q A word comprehended by the secōd will a comprehended word with the second will and the issue out of the spoken word which goeth forth out of the will through the Word is the Spirit and that which is spoken forth r Or for to be the will before the will is the Eternall wisdome of God the virgin of the chastity 22. For God generateth nothing else but his Heart and Sonne and will never generate any other thing out of himselfe Therefore that which is spoken forth before or from the will is a virgin of chastity which never generateth any thing else neither but shee discovereth her selfe in the Holy Ghost in infinitum infinitely in the Deepe of the wonders of the Allmightinesse and openeth them and shee hath the strong Fiat of God for an Instrument to work with whereby shee createth and did create all in
shall be expounded in its due place 32. And there is a very great matter to be seene in Moses concerning his e Glorious shining brightened face where it was tryed whether it were possible that the soule could be ransomed by the Fathers clarity or brightnesse in the fire if they did live in his Law which was sharp and consuming and a great piercing to the soule but it was in vaine it might not be 33. And there the noble virgin in the Spirit of the Prophets did f Or prophecy of point at the seede of the Woman at his Incarnation or becoming Man his suffering and dying for the poore soule of Man that it might be delivered from the Eternall Death and be regenerated anew in the Sonne of the virgin which was done after three thousand nine hundred and Seventy yeares 3970 yeares and then the Word of the Promise which God promised to Adam and Eve in the Paradise in the Garden of Eden when they fell into sinne and which Imaged or imprinted it selfe in the Centre of the life through which all Men that come to God are justified became Man 34. It continued a long time in the Covenant of Circumcision in the life and light of the Father with the shadows and types of the Incarnation of the Sonne But these could not g Or comprehend the rising againe reach the earnestnesse of the coming againe of the body out of the grave But the Word must become Man if Man must rise againe out of the grave It the Covenant ransomed the soule indeed so that it could stand before the Father in the Gate of the corruptibility in the fire of the sharpnesse but not in the pleasant Joy before the light of the holy Trinity and besides it could not bring the new body forth out of the Element for it was defiled too much with sinne 35. Thus in that fore-mentioned yeare the Angel Gabriel came being sent of God the Father to Nazareth to a poore yet chast and modest virgin called Mary her name signifieth plainly in the Language of Nature A Redemption out of the valley of misery and though it be plaine that wee are not borne of the h Universities or Academies High Schooles with i School-learning or tongues many Languages yet wee have the Language of Nature in our Schoole of Wonders or Miracles fixed stedfast or perfect which the k Or learned Doctor Master of Art in his Pontificalibus will not beleeve and he Greeted her l Or from through God and brought the Eternall m Or message Command of the Father out of his will and said to her n Luk. 10. from vers 28. to the end of ver 35. Haile full of grace the Lord is with thee thou blessed among Women And when shee looked upon him shee was terrified at his saying and considered in her thoughts what manner of salutation this was And the Angel said to her feare not Mary thou hast found Grace with God behold thou shalt o Be impregnated conceive in thy womb or body and beare a sonne whose name thou shalt call Jesus he shall be great and be called the sonne of the most High and God the LORD will give unto him the Throne of his Father David and he shall be King over the house of Jacob Eternally and of his Kingdome there will be no end Then said Mary to the Angel How shall that come to passe since I know not a Man And the Angel answered to her and said the Holy Ghost will come upon thee and the vertue or power of the most High will overshadow thee therefore also that holy One that shall be borne of thee shall be called the Sonne of God Then said Mary Behold I am the Handmaid of the Lord let it be done to mee as thou hast said and the Angel departed from her Now when this Command or Message from God the Father came then the nature of the spirit of the soule in Mary was astonished as the Text saith for p The spirit of the soule it was stirred by a precious Guest who went into a wonderfull Lodging or Inne 36. But the Reader must not here understand it as if the word for this Incarnation at this time did first come down out of the highest Heaven above the Starres hither beneath and became Man as the world teacheth in blindnesse No but the Word which God spake in Paradise to Adam and Eve concerning the Treader upon the Serpent which Imaged or imprinted it selfe in the doore of the light of life q Or beeing standing in the Centre of the Gate of Heaven and waiting perceptably in the mindes of the holy Men even till this time that same Word is become Man and that same Divine Word is againe entred into the virgin of the Divine Wisdome which was given to the soule of Adam r Or joyned to neere the Word to be a light and a Å¿ Or maid-servant or Ministresse hand-maid as to the Word 37. And the will of the Heart of God in the Father is from the Heart entred into the will of the Wisdome before the Father into an Eternall t Or espousall contract and the same virgin of the Wisdome of God in the Word of God hath in the bosom of the virgin Mary given it selfe into her virgin-Matrix and united it selfe as a propriety not to depart in Eternity you must understand into the Essences and into the Tincture of the Element which is pure and undefiled before God in that the Heart of God is become an Angelicall Man as Adam was in the Creation and the going forth out of the Heart of God with the whole fulnesse of the Deity out of which also the holy Ghost or Spirit of God and out of the Spirit the virgin goeth forth maketh this high Angelicall Image greater than Adam or ever any Angel was for it is the blessing and the might of all things which are in the Father Eternally 38. For the Word by its being given into the Element into the virgin-Matrix is not severed from the Father but it continueth eternally in the Father and it is in the Heaven of the Element every where present into which Element the same word is entred and is become a new creature in Man which new creature is called God And you must here very highly and accurately understand that this new creature in the holy Element is not generated of the flesh and bloud of the virgin but of God out of the Element in a totall fullnesse and union u Or with of the holy Trinity which creature continueth with totall fullnesse without x Fading ending therein eternally which creature every where filleth all in all the Gates of the holinesse whose depth hath no ground and is without number measure and Name 39. Yet you must know that the corporeity of the Element of this creature is y Or lesse than the Deity inferiour to
whole substance and an Essence of a thing 77. Now Abel is the first Christian Church in Patience which God established that the Cainish Church should be converted by Abel he hath not therefore so rejected the Cainish Church that he would have no member out of it Understand it thus the true Christian Church standeth like a sheepe among Wolves though indeed wee are Men and not Wolves but in Minde and in Figure p The Abellish Church It teacheth the wicked and if he be converted then it hath gained him and he is figured into an Image of God and thereby Joy is caused among the Angels of God that the Kingdome of Heaven hath the victory 78. Or doest thou suppose that the word in Daniel is nothing Chap. 10. concerning the Angel Gabriel who said that the Prince in Persia withstood him one and twenty dayes and that our Prince Michael came to helpe him Thereby it may be seene how the Princes and Throne-Angells strive against the Kingdome of the fierce wrath and assist Men the cause whereof is this The Devill awakeneth the Anger against Men and the Angels of God viz. the Throne-Princes keepe it back because God q For all the Devils stirring up or awakening of his Anger yet willeth not Evill 79. Wee are especially to observe in Cain and Abel what their purpose was Cain was a Plowman or Tiller of the Ground and Abel was a Shepheard or keeper of sheepe Abel relyed upon the blessing of God towards his flock to maintaine himselfe by the blessing of God Cain relyed upon his own labour to maintaine himselfe by his own skill and industry Eve tooke part with Cain and Adam with Abel for Eve counted him to be the Prince on Earth to whom the Kingdome did belong and supposed that he as a Champion would chase and hunt away the Devill although shee knew r The Devill him not 80. But if Men search very Deepe this that followeth they will finde is the very Ground Eve was the Childe in the Matrix of Adam which Adam if he had not been overcome should have generated out of himselfe in great modesty purity and holinesse but because Adams Matrix was impregnated from the Spirit of this world therefore God must frame a fleshly woman out of it which afterwards in her first fruit became lustfull and infected from the Devill as well as the Limbus in Adam 81. And therefore they also generated such a towardly childe as looked onely after covetousnesse as Eve also did who would be like God and surely Adam had some minde that way or else he should not have entred into the spirit of this world 82. And such also now was their Sonne Cain he supposed that he was Lord on Earth and therefore he grutched that his Brother should have any thing especially when he saw that he was accepted before God that vexed him and he thought that Abel should come to be Lord on Earth in his sacrifice he regarded not the feare of God though he as an appearing holy Man or hypocrite sacrificed also but he regarded onely the ſ The highest place of Earthly Dominion Region 83. And here the Antichristian Kingdome tooke its beginning where Men t Or speake good words before God give God good words and their heart is possessed with covetousnesse and seek after nothing but power and authority to domineere over the needy and miserable who trust and relie upon God Therefore Antichrist hath his God in his Chist and in the strength of his power and behinde his cloake there hangeth a Fox He prayeth yet he desireth nothing else but the Kingdome of this world his heart doth not leave off to persecute and to hunt poore Abel But Abel prayeth to the Lord and his heart inclineth it selfe to the Love of God in the true Image for he desireth the Kingdome of Heaven and the Blessing of God here for his u Necessitie or subsistence of the body maintenance 84. Now the Devill cannot endure that a holy Church should grow up in his Dominions he will murther Abel still as he did then because Cain feared not God therefore the Devill gat an accesse to him and stirred up the inbred wrath in Cain against Abel that he slew him Here surely all the Devills danced at it and thought now is the Kingdome ours againe whereat Adam and Eve were much amazed and affrighted when they saw that he whom they accounted for a Prince became a murtherer and as the History saith they copulated or knew one another no more in seaventy yeares after 85. Now it being thus therefore they sought for quite another Treader upon the Serpent also now they inclined their heart to God so that seventy yeares after this murther they begat a very upright vertuous holy Sonne that feared God who established againe the pure Church of the feare of God and promised seede of the Woman whose name was Seth who also begat a very upright vertuous Sonne whose name was E●os and then Men began to preach openly or plainly of God and the Christian Church alwayes rose up like a small flock in spite of all the Ragings of the Devills 86. But Cain exalted himselfe to be a Lord over his kindred from whence arose the Dominion and Rule or Government of this world all according to the influence of the Starres generated per Spiritum Majoris Mundi by the Spirit of the x Or Macrocosme Great world and is not as Cain supposed so ordained by the cleere Deity 87. It is true indeed when the world became so evill malicious and murtherous then there must needs be Judges and Magistrates that the fierce wrath might be stopped by punishment and feare but if thou haddest continued in Love then thou shouldst have had no Lords but loving Brothers and Sisters O Cain thy potent Kingdome cometh not from God but hath its influence from the starry Heaven in Anger which domineereth over thee and many times giveth thee Tyrants who consume thy sweat in Pride and this thou hast for thy Paradise 88. Saint Paul writeth very well that there is no power authority or Magistracy but of God but he saith it is an y Or for the punishment of evill doers avenger of the wicked and beareth not the sword in vaine herein thou hast ground enough that God useth the worldly Government and the sword thereof for the wicked's sake under which thou must now for the sake of sinne beare thy yoake because thou art a continuall devourer and murtherer doe but behold thy selfe together with the avenging sword perhaps thou wilt see thy selfe 89. But if any say that God doth abhorre or loath the Great Tyranny and Oppression when they domineere and take away the sweat of the poore and needy and consume it in pride and statelinesse that Cain cannot endure if the terrible Example of the Floud or Deluge did not stand there then Tyranny would be accounted holinesse but thy z The
