A28532	The second booke, concerning the three principles of the divine essence of the eternall, dark, light, and temporary vvorld shewing what the soule, the image and the spirit of the soule are : as also what angels, heaven, and paradise are : how Adam was before the fall, in the fall, and after the fall : and what the wrath of God, sinne, death, the devils and hell are, how all things have been, now are, and how they shall be at the last / written in the German language by Jacob Behmen, aliàs Teutonicus Philosophus.; Beschreibung der drey Principien göttliches Wesens.

the_o most_o mystical_a the_o magia_n consist_v in_o the_o know_v how_o thing_n have_v come_v to_o be_v and_o the_o cabala_n in_o know_v how_o the_o word_n and_o form_n of_o thing_n express_v the_o reality_n of_o the_o inward_a mystery_n but_o he_o that_o know_v the_o mystery_n know_v both_o these_o and_o all_o the_o branch_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o wisdom_n in_o all_o real_a art_n and_o

be_v but_o have_v its_o weighty_a signification_n in_o the_o deep_a understanding_n in_o that_o word_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v even_o in_o the_o voice_n of_o all_o man_n and_o sound_n of_o all_o other_o creature_n also_o the_o letter_n and_o syllable_n of_o a_o word_n of_o some_o language_n do_v express_v something_o of_o the_o mystery_n more_o exquisite_o than_o of_o another_o and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v the_o author_n use_v sometime_o to_o expound_v word_n borrow_v from_o the_o hebrew_n &_o greek_a and_o some_o latin_a word_n and_o other_o word_n of_o art_n as_o well_o as_o german_a word_n and_o not_o always_o word_n of_o his_o own_o native_a language_n only_o according_a to_o their_o signification_n in_o the_o language_n of_o nature_n for_o that_o language_n do_v show_v in_o every_o one_o mother_n tongue_n the_o great_a mystery_n that_o have_v ever_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o letter_n of_o that_o word_n by_o which_o it_o be_v express_v therefore_o let_v every_o one_o esteem_v those_o exposition_n of_o his_o according_a to_o their_o high_a worth_n for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o language_n be_v only_o teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o letter_n some_o think_v it_o be_v unnecessary_a to_o know_v such_o mystery_n indeed_o every_a one_o nature_n be_v not_o fit_v with_o a_o capacity_n for_o the_o high_a depth_n therefore_o they_o need_v not_o search_v so_o far_o nor_o trouble_v themselves_o to_o look_v for_o the_o understanding_n of_o that_o they_o desire_v not_o to_o know_v but_o that_o they_o may_v see_v how_o
