eternity_n himself_o as_o he_o be_v a_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n but_o what_o this_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n of_o himself_o be_v who_o can_v tell_v but_o himself_o it_o be_v unknowable_a to_o any_o beside_o himself_o for_o no_o creature_n can_v comprehend_v a_o infinite_a unsearchable_a and_o incomprehensible_a creator_n therefore_o none_o can_v know_v what_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v out_o of_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n but_o himself_o alone_o the_o first_o manifestation_n of_o himself_o be_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n there_o he_o first_o

this_o query_n advise_v you_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o he_o exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n without_o eternal_a nature_n be_v a_o very_a deep_a and_o mystical_a knowledge_n

otherwise_o than_o before_o express_v do_v run_v into_o great_a confusion_n the_o father_n be_v a_o eternal_a unity_n and_o so_o be_v the_o son_n and_o spirit_n the_o son_n be_v pure_a deity_n and_o so_o be_v the_o father_n and_o spirit_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o eternal_a liberty_n and_o so_o be_v the_o father_n and_o son_n therefore_o these_o be_v no_o distinguish_a property_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n in_o the_o eternal_a world_n some_o do_v thus_o distinguish_v the_o trinity_n they_o say_v the_o father_n be_v light_a the_o son_n life_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n love_n but_o these_o can_v be_v the_o distinguish_a character_n of_o the_o trinity_n because_o the_o father_n be_v light_a life_n and_o love_n and_o so_o likewise_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n other_o will_v have_v the_o father_n to_o be_v light_n the_o son_n love_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n power_n but_o all_o these_o belong_v to_o every_o one_o of_o the_o trinity_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v the_o

trinity_n stand_v whole_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o love_n the_o only_a distinction_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n in_o the_o eternal_a world_n be_v this_o that_o the_o father_n manifest_v himself_o as_o a_o wonderful_a all-seeing_a eye_n the_o son_n manifest_v himself_o as_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o a_o outflowing_a power_n

be_v to_o know_v that_o it_o spring_n and_o flow_v from_o god_n eternal_a eye_n as_o from_o its_o eternal_a root_n and_o original_n and_o here_o it_o be_v fix_v as_o in_o its_o proper_a seat_n and_o

be_v seat_v in_o the_o same_o eye_n with_o his_o desire_a mind_n and_o willing_a will_n these_o three_o be_v in_o one_o another_o and_o penetrate_v through_o one_o another_o and_o make_v up_o but_o one_o inseparable_a indivisible_a power_n i_o say_v they_o all_o three_o exist_v iâ—_n the_o eye_n as_o one_o power_n yet_o distinguishable_a and_o without_o the_o least_o disorder_n or_o confusion_n the_o first_o be_v the_o wisdom_n than_o the_o mind_n and_o next_o the_o will_n for_o as_o the_o wisdom_n proceed_v from_o the_o eye_n so_o the_o mind_n proceed_v from_o the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o will_n from_o the_o mind_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o birth_n and_o nativity_n of_o wisdom_n 2._o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o head_n viz._n what_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o wisdom_n be_v i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v a_o flow_a move_a power_n a_o move_a motion_n immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n eternal_a eye_n god_n wisdom_n be_v a_o bright_a ray_n or_o glance_n issue_v from_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n therefore_o she_o be_v term_v the_o brightness_n or_o clarity_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o a_o pure_a breath_n or_o efflux_n from_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o almighty_a we_o can_v say_v nothing_o of_o she_o but_o that_o she_o be_v the_o brightness_n and_o glance_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n who_o as_o she_o proceed_v from_o the_o eye_n so_o she_o be_v move_v by_o and_o only_o by_o the_o same_o for_o she_o be_v a_o mere_a passive_a bright_a shine_a virtue_n that_o swift_o pass_v through_o and_o pierce_v all_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o her_o high_a purity_n and_o subtlety_n which_o can_v be_v compare_v to_o nothing_o better_a than_o to_o a_o lustrous_a shine_a glance_n be_v perfect_o passive_a and_o move_a only_o according_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o father_n which_o make_v she_o more_o swift_a and_o pierce_a than_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o but_o for_o a_o further_a illustration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n wisdom_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a enlarge_v myself_o upon_o these_o follow_a particular_n which_o be_v so_o many_o essential_a property_n of_o the_o say_a wisdom_n i._o in_o the_o first_o place_n this_o wisdom_n be_v coessential_a with_o the_o holy_a trinity_n because_o as_o have_v be_v say_v it_o proceed_v from_o the_o trinity_n as_o a_o outgoing_a ray_n glance_n or_o brightness_n now_o nothing_o do_v immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n but_o what_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o essence_n with_o he_o and_o consequent_o what_o can_v this_o bright_a shine_a glance_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o majesty_n be_v else_o but_o pure_a deity_n as_o proceed_v from_o and_o fix_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n ii_o the_o second_o essential_a property_n of_o this_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v this_o that_o she_o be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o everblessed_n trinity_n god_n be_v never_o without_o his_o wisdom_n nor_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n without_o this_o glance_n and_o bright_a ray_n which_o proceed_v from_o it_o for_o else_o god_n can_v not_o have_v be_v a_o alwise_a and_o all-knowing_a god_n therefore_o according_a to_o order_n of_o time_n the_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o holy_a trinity_n though_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o dignity_n the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v before_o wisdom_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o passive_a effiux_fw-la from_o the_o everblessed_n trinity_n wherefore_o you_o be_v not_o to_o imagine_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n as_o she_o be_v coessential_a and_o coeternal_a be_v also_o coequal_a with_o the_o holy_a trinity_n because_o as_o be_v say_v before_o she_o be_v perfect_o passive_a and_o move_v not_o herself_o but_o as_o the_o eye_n be_v move_v whereas_o the_o bless_a trinity_n be_v all_o act_n all_o act_v power_n she_o be_v indeed_o say_v to_o be_v a_o co-operator_a with_o the_o trinity_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o she_o move_v not_o except_o she_o be_v move_v nor_o act_n except_o she_o be_v act_v thus_o far_o indeed_o she_o may_v be_v say_v in_o some_o sense_n to_o be_v coequal_a with_o the_o trinity_n forasmuch_o as_o she_o fill_v with_o her_o glance_n and_o brightness_n the_o whole_a still_a eternity_n but_o this_o can_v amount_v to_o a_o proper_a co-equality_n because_o she_o be_v whole_o passive_a and_o depend_v of_o the_o trinity_n beside_o she_o be_v clear_o distinguishable_a from_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o eye_n as_o be_v only_o a_o brightness_n glance_v or_o ray_n proceed_v from_o it_o and_o be_v consequent_o inferior_a and_o subordinate_a to_o the_o bless_a trinity_n iii_o the_o three_o and_o last_o essential_a property_n of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v her_o virgin_n purity_n which_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o she_o be_v free_a from_o all_o desire_n will_n and_o motion_n of_o heâ—_n own_o she_o desire_n and_o will_v nothing_o but_o as_o the_o eternal_a mind_n and_o will_v desire_n and_o will_n in_o she_o she_o move_v not_o but_o as_o she_o be_v move_v and_o act_v not_o but_o as_o she_o be_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n for_o she_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o bright_a passive_a glance_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n she_o be_v a_o eternal_a stillness_n in_o herself_o she_o be_v not_o the_o majesty_n itself_o nor_o the_o eye_n but_o she_o be_v only_o the_o beauty_n glory_n brightness_n lustre_n and_o glance_n of_o the_o majesty_n in_o the_o eye_n and_o that_o such_o a_o transparent_a clarity_n and_o brightness_n as_o be_v without_o all_o spot_n or_o blemish_n and_o in_o a_o word_n she_o be_v nothing_o but_o perfect_a absolute_a purity_n she_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n bright_a and_o pure_a than_o the_o sun_n and_o fair_a than_o the_o moon_n and_o indeed_o nothing_o can_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o excellence_n of_o that_o her_o virginpurity_n but_o her_o
pure_a virginity_n do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o she_o be_v free_a from_o all_o manner_n of_o spot_n blemish_n or_o mixture_n but_o especial_o in_o this_o that_o her_o bright_a glance_n be_v from_o all_o eternity_n fix_v upon_o the_o flame_a heart_n of_o god_n love_n which_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n this_o flame_a â—eart_n of_o love_n be_v the_o sole_a object_n to_o which_o her_o regard_n be_v fasten_v continual_o she_o receive_v nothing_o into_o herself_o but_o this_o divine_a love_n from_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n she_o espouse_v herself_o to_o nothing_o incline_v herself_o to_o nothing_o but_o only_o to_o this_o essential_a love_n the_o word_n of_o god_n fix_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o deity_n thus_o the_o holy_a trinity_n have_v their_o delight_n with_o wisdom_n and_o again_o the_o whole_a joy_n and_o delight_n of_o wisdom_n be_v the_o flame_a love_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n she_o be_v exalt_v above_o all_o thing_n because_o of_o her_o beauty_n and_o immaculate_a purity_n she_o be_v the_o high_a purity_n she_o be_v purity_n and_o virginity_n in_o the_o abstract_n she_o can_v be_v touch_v by_o sin_n evil_a or_o self_n because_o she_o can_v mix_v with_o nor_o incline_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o only_o the_o essential_a love_n of_o god_n she_o be_v free_a from_o all_o essence_n whatsoever_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o unspotted_a mirror_n of_o the_o glory_n and_o excellency_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v declare_v to_o you_o what_o that_o pure_a virginity_n be_v which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o god_n wisdom_n 3._o i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o head_n viz._n what_o the_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v in_o the_o still_a eternity_n i_o find_v that_o wisdom_n discharge_v these_o two_o office_n viz._n 1._o she_o be_v a_o revealer_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o hide_a wonder_n of_o the_o deity_n 2._o she_o be_v a_o enlightner_n of_o the_o still_a eternity_n first_o as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o scripture_n and_o revelation_n assure_v we_o that_o wisdom_n be_v the_o revealer_n and_o manifester_n of_o the_o unsearchable_a secret_n of_o god_n she_o be_v the_o golden_a key_n of_o the_o eternal_a eye_n by_o which_o all_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v unlock_v as_o the_o office_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o effect_v and_o create_v all_o thing_n so_o the_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v to_o manifest_v and_o reveal_v all_o thing_n she_o never_o bring_v forth_o any_o thing_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n also_o be_v call_v a_o pure_a virgin_n but_o only_o discover_v and_o manifest_v whatsoever_o the_o holy_a trinity_n by_o their_o effecting-creating-power_n be_v please_v to_o bring_v forth_o this_o wisdom_n be_v the_o companion_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n by_o she_o out_o go_v glance_n reveal_v the_o wonder_n contain_v in_o it_o she_o be_v as_o a_o handmaid_n wait_v upon_o the_o holy_a trinity_n to_o declare_v publish_v and_o make_v know_v their_o counsel_n secret_n and_o wonder_n second_o the_o other_o office_n of_o wisdom_n be_v to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o deep_a abyss_n of_o the_o still_a eternity_n it_o be_v wisdom_n bright_a glance_n which_o be_v the_o day_n and_o light_n of_o this_o most_o holy_a mansion_n not_o a_o create_a light_n but_o a_o pure_a divine_a light_n in_o that_o sense_n as_o god_n be_v call_v a_o light_n in_o who_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o and_o no_o otherwise_o but_o you_o will_v object_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o divine_a philosopher_n seem_v to_o give_v a_o different_a account_n concern_v wisdom_n than_o i_o have_v here_o give_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o easy_o grant_v that_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o holy_a enlighten_v man_n have_v speak_v concern_v wisdom_n after_o another_o manner_n than_o here_o i_o have_v do_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a for_o they_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n after_o the_o production_n of_o eternal_a nature_n as_o wisdom_n be_v introduce_v into_o the_o seven_o form_n of_o eternal_a nature_n whereas_o i_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n existence_n with_o the_o

father_n with_o his_o intellectual_a all_o see_a eye_n the_o son_n with_o his_o all_o flame_a heart_n of_o love_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o his_o outflowing_a act_v power_n 2._o second_o when_o i_o say_v that_o god_n introduce_v himself_o etc._n etc._n i_o do_v include_v the_o eternal_a wisdom_n which_o god_n introduce_v together_o with_o himself_o into_o the_o principle_n of_o eternal_a nature_n 3._o in_o the_o three_o place_n god_n introduce_v himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n together_o with_o his_o essential_a love_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a nature_n of_o the_o trinity_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n john_n god_n be_v love_n object_n but_o some_o may_v object_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o love_n but_o also_o in_o light_n and_o life_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a trinity_n as_o well_o as_o love_n sol._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o love_n in_o the_o sense_n i_o take_v it_o do_v include_v both_o light_n and_o life_n for_o this_o essential_a love_n be_v all_o light_n and_o all_o life_n so_o that_o neither_o death_n nor_o darkness_n can_v come_v near_o it_o now_o we_o must_v know_v that_o this_o essential_a love_n be_v the_o unchangeable_a nature_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v change_v by_o be_v bring_v into_o and_o clothe_v upon_o with_o eternal_a nature_n and_o from_o love_n turn_v to_o wrath_n or_o from_o meekness_n to_o severity_n no_o by_o no_o mean_n for_o as_o god_n be_v all_o love_n in_o himself_o so_o he_o be_v the_o same_o in_o eternal_a nature_n quest._n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v reconcile_v with_o scripture_n which_o attribute_n wrath_n anger_n severity_n and_o justice_n to_o god_n ans._n i_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n anger_n wrath_n and_o severity_n it_o have_v regard_n to_o god_n manifest_v of_o himself_o in_o and_o through_o eternal_a nature_n as_o it_o be_v infect_v and_o defile_v by_o sin_n whereas_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n in_o nature_n be_v all_o love_n i_o speak_v of_o nature_n in_o its_o purity_n before_o it_o be_v infect_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o lucifer_n and_o when_o all_o its_o form_n and_o property_n be_v harmonize_v to_o the_o most_o penfect_a concord_n and_o unity_n for_o in_o this_o state_n nothing_o but_o love_n which_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a nature_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n 4._o in_o the_o last_o place_n i_o say_v god_n introduce_v the_o seven_o spirit_n before_o the_o throne_n together_o with_o himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n else_o these_o seven_o spirit_n can_v never_o have_v be_v see_v or_o manifest_v in_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n but_o the_o scripture_n oft_o make_v mention_n of_o they_o as_o introduce_v into_o eternal_a nature_n so_o they_o be_v represent_v to_o john_n in_o the_o first_o chap._n of_o the_o revelation_n as_o exist_v in_o mount-zion_n or_o the_o new_a jerusalem-principle_n which_o be_v bring_v forth_o out_o of_o eternal_a nature_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o first_o part_n or_o subject_n of_o this_o proposition_n which_o be_v god_n we_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o predicate_v which_o be_v eternal_a nature_n 2._o now_o by_o eternal_a nature_n into_o which_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v introduce_v himself_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v eternal_a nature_n in_o its_o puriey_n not_o as_o defile_v with_o sin_n for_o the_o holy_a trinity_n will_v never_o of_o their_o own_o freewill_n have_v introduce_v themselves_o into_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v defile_v or_o impure_a again_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o when_o gnd_v introduce_v himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n that_o she_o stand_v yet_o in_o her_o original_a unity_n simplicity_n and_o harmony_n without_o any_o duality_n or_o contrariety_n for_o the_o holy_a trinity_n will_v never_o have_v enter_v with_o their_o divine_a nature_n of_o love_n into_o that_o where_o division_n disagreement_n and_o contrariety_n have_v take_v place_n no_o eternal_a nature_n be_v without_o strife_n or_o contest_v without_o any_o mixture_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a or_o light_n and_o darkness_n but_o be_v all_o perfect_o harmonize_v or_o else_o the_o bless_a trinity_n can_v not_o have_v make_v it_o the_o habitation_n of_o their_o divine_a love-essence_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o what_o sense_n we_o be_v to_o take_v eternal_a nature_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n introduce_v himself_o into_o it_o 3._o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o particular_a in_o the_o forego_n proposition_n which_o may_v need_v some_o explication_n which_o be_v the_o word_n introduce_v how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o in_o what_o sense_n we_o be_v to_o take_v it_o in_o this_o place_n when_o we_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a trinity_n have_v introduce_v themselves_o into_o eternal_a nature_n we_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o union_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n with_o eternal_a nature_n and_o eternal_a nature_n union_n with_o the_o bless_a trinity_n which_o be_v the_o full_a meaning_n of_o god_n introduction_n of_o himself_o into_o eternal_a nature_n principle_n here_o the_o deity_n subsist'_v in_o its_o eternal_a humanity_n and_o eternal_a humanity_n subsist'_v in_o union_n with_o the_o deity_n god_n in_o nature_n and_o nature_n in_o god_n and_o thus_o god_n and_o nature_n be_v in_o one_o another_o because_o god_n have_v introduce_v his_o divine_a nature_n of_o love_n into_o eternal_a nature_n pure_a principle_n the_o nature_n of_o which_o union_n i_o shall_v explain_v and_o open_v to_o you_o in_o these_o follow_a particular_n 1._o first_o than_o i_o say_v that_o this_o union_n of_o god_n with_o eternal_a nature_n be_v a_o true_a real_a essential_a and_o most_o intimate_a union_n in_o every_o union_n these_o three_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o meet_v together_o viz._n the_o uniter_fw-la the_o thing_n united_n and_o the_o union_n itself_o which_o join_v the_o uniter_fw-la and_o united_n together_o in_o this_o union_n of_o god_n with_o eternal_a nature_n the_o vniter_fw-la be_v the_o bless_a trinity_n the_o thing_n unite_v be_v the_o principle_n of_o eternal_a nature_n and_o the_o union_n of_o they_o both_o be_v the_o divine_a nature_n of_o love_n now_o this_o love_n which_o be_v the_o link_n and_o tie_v of_o both_o the_o uniter_fw-la and_o united_n be_v the_o essential_a love_n of_o the_o deity_n wherefore_o this_o union_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o essential_a and_o most_o intimate_a union_n it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o incorporation_n the_o vniter_fw-la and_o unite_v penetrate_a and_o mix_v with_o one_o another_o and_o therefore_o
