Principles out with and through the same subsist all things And without these nothing can subsist that is or hath a Being and are Light Life and Love God Nature and Element Spirit Wind and Water Body Soul and Spirit and that in the Word CHAP. III. Of the first Principle of all things which is God GOd being the beginning of all Beginnings as from which all things proceed then his beginning is from no other He is without a beginning because he is not from another yet though he hath his beginning from no other he representeth in himself his beginning to all This beginning of God is not a beginning to God himself but to us for he himself is all in all Now that he might shew himself to us men to testifie and instruct us of him therefore God sheweth himself in his beginning which is the Word which is God himself Now through this VVord is shewed to us testified and taught that and what God is and who he is But without word or speaking may be neither Doctrine nor Testimony nor a presentation as Reason doth make it manifest Therefore the VVord is the beginning of God to us out of which all Testimonies Names and Relation of God do proceed as out of the depths of God which consist in their own proper Spirit wind and water The name of God is but one according to the Essence which no man knoweth but only he upon whom he is written with the living Letters of the Spirit of God and his VVord Essentially which is Christ and those that are of his Being These are they in whom the VVord dwelleth Essentially and that see his Glory in a Light and Eye that no body else can see All the names of God come together only in this one name For the whole fulness of the Godhead dwe leth in him bodily who is called Alpha and Omega Zach. 14. 9. Col 2. 9. He that seeth him seeth also God and the Father and the living Word and the quickning Spirit John 14. 9. 1 John 1. 1 Cor. 15. 45. Even so he that seeth man seeth also with the Body the Soul and the Spirit which are in their Nature invisible The Testimony of God consisteth in three Namely in three witnesses which are the Father the VVord and the Holy Spirit Now as the name proceeds from the word so doth every Testimony of God and resteth only upon the dear and true witness that is called Amen which is the beginning of Gods Creatures Rev. 3. 14. And the Testimony of God stands thus God Father Word Holy Ghost Amen which is Christ Now because no body can testifie of God but he himself alone and all Testimonies of Truth must be justified by three Therefore God also testifieth of himself by three but they are not three persons But one onely person and one only God even as in one Earthly mans Body Soul and Spirit cannot be three distinct persons so in God are not three persons But this is the Testimony of God to us in the Name non in Nominibus sed in Nomine of the Father Son and Holy Ghost which consist in the word which three are one thing and one But this Testimony none acknowledgeth save he that hath it within himself Essentially that is that hath the Spirit out of God and is annointed and sealed with it This is the Testimony of God with one word through which we are Sons and Heirs of God Rom. 8. Lastly The Revelation of God consists in seven Powers which are the seven Spirits of God Rev. 1. 4. Chap. 4. 5. Chap. 5. 6. Zech. 4. 2 10. And rest upon him who is called and is Jesse who is of no other but out through in and of himself is is self subsisting in whom is all who hath all Also the fulness of the Godhead Rev. 3. 1. Isa 11. Col. 2. 9. For through him all things are Created in Heaven and in Earth and by him all things are preserved by him also all is Redeemed and reconciled He Reigneth over all and hath all under his Power through him all lost things are restored at his glorious coming He also holdeth Judgment over all flesh over quick and dead And lastly he will make old things new and will abandon and put away all old things Everlastingly Therefore the Mystery of God consists in One Three and Seven and according to this Mystery all other things are Created and consist in One out of Three through Seven and are therein testified learned manifested or justified nothing at all excepted whatsoever it be and that for this Reason That God in his mystery may be learned and glorified in and on all his Creatures Herein consists now the Mystery of the VVisdom in its measure number and weight as in One Three and Seven whereby all things are numbred measured and weighed so perfectly that nothing can be added to it or diminished from it For all the works of God are perfect and testifie of the Creator according to the Mystery of the wisdom namely that by the works may be known Him that made them that what and who he is in his Mystery CHAP. IV. Of the Second Principle viz. Nature NAture is the second Principle and beginning of all things and stands betwixt God and the Elements through which God worketh into the Elements at through and by means and is in its consideration even as Angelical whose beginning is out of God a forth-blown Breath VVind and Air of the Almighty in which consists the Soul and Life of all Created things and every living Soul and is concentred and fastened together essentially bodily and self-subsisting in the Tree of Life even as God in Christ and the whole Elementary world in Man This second Principle is not everlasting according to the beginning yet eternal according to the end even as the Angels are It is not Created out of nothing as this world but proceedeth from God even as the Life from the Spirit as a Breath VVind or Air doth proceed and is also the breath of Gods VVord in which is Life thus that the speaking of the word is a living Eternal Breath and is distinct from God as a living breath or Soul from the quickening Spirit The living breath Soul or Life of all things i● according to its Original out of the Nature but the Spirit out of God namely after his measure and the body out of the Elements The Spirit as the Soul or the Life are distinct thus As God who is Eternal Life and the quickening Spirit himself and hath Life from no other because himself is the Spirit And as the living Soul having her Life not out from and by or through it self but out of the Spirit which maketh things alive whose breath is the Life Now that is soulish which hath its Life not from it self but from the Spirit and which is not a Spirit but only a breath All things whatsoever are in their Being have the food of thir
also what Scha Ma Jm is of which is written in the book of the Creation that God Elohim in the beginning have Created Scha Ma Jm which the Interpreters have rendred Heaven and Earth which runnneth contrary to the Text and against the order of the Creation Who can tell us what Scha Ma Jm properly is True we cannot speak with Tongues for we are more taken up with Prophesying according to the grace bestowed upon us Therefore we will give the interpretation of it to others to let them search to learn what Scha Ma Jm meaneth So much is known that out of Scha Ma Jm all other things are come as also the water out of which Heaven and Earth in the beginning of the Creation were Created for it is not enough that we know how that the world was Created out of the water but we ask also from whence came that water then out of which the world was made For the wise go after wisdom even to her depths and give not over till they find the bottom and all Principles The book of wisdom saith Chap. 11. v. 23. The whole world is before thee God as a moment of the little Tongue in the Weights and Scales and as a drop of the Dew that falleth in the mornings upon the Earth It is manifest that all Water and Dew before it is a bodily Water is first a Vapour But how and out of what and from whence and whereby that Vapour ariseth must be searched into And in our opinion it is nothing else but such a bodily spirit who in himself incloseth all in all and yieldeth and giveth all to all and at last gathereth all to himself Out of which now the world is Created that same is also in all things and without it there is nothing no where and when that is taken away from it again then it can be no more of a being That we may set out the depths of the Creation out of which it was produced these are threefold First the Word of God in which is Light through which all things were made and that which is in all things is instead of the spirit according to the highest degree in the Creation of the world and this is the true spiritual Seed of all things without which nothing is neither can be Afterwards is the Soul of all the world and is distinguished from God as the breath from the spirit and is the breath of the speaking Word of God and instead of the soul is the true life of all things according to the highest degree and is the soulish seed of all things in the world Lastly the salt is the body and bodily seed of all things and of the whole world in which dwelleth and resteth the Word and the Spirit of God These three hatch from themselves a water which is a Scha Ma Jm out of which the whole world hath its original according to the middle degree but the lower degrees are the elements These three give and set down the three general Principles for the Creation as God the Nature and the Elements And again these three the Spirit Wind and Water and at last in these three every Creature and all is inclosed totally in the Light Life and Love The word is God and God is the word the Spirit is the Nature and an out-breathed breath of God and the Nature is the Spirit and Soul of the World The Salt is an element of all elements and the elements in their glory are nothing else but a Salt 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Out of these three consists Scha Ma Jm and the whole Creation of the world in each and all their true Principles In all Creations the word is the beginning the spirit the middle and the salt is the end In the beginning of the Creation Scha Ma Jm was unfashioned and unframed there were also darknesses over the face of the depths and there was a Chaos or confused being But the spirit of the Lord moved upon the water thereby it became seedy and the first thing that was Created in it was Light but was comprehended of the darknesses so long till God said Lehior come forth thou light and come before the day and make a day that it may be Light And presently light parte● from the darkness and is according to its body and being an essential most refined spiritual salt which not otherwise but by the eye may be brought to the sense The darkness containeth in it Fire and the light was parted from darkness and the fire lay secretly hid therein which afterward by reason of sin broke forth to be visible and is called not Or Light but Vr Fire After the the Light was Created the Heaven a Firmament out of the water as Ice and Chrystal In which the flying soulish salt of life became fixed an firm and Heaven it self is such a salt in which dwe● all the powers of life and of the soul and from thenc● from above are poured forth into the nether world through the Spirit Wind and Air whose body i● the water into which the flying salt is carryed After the Heaven was Created the Earth the bodily Centre of the world a gross body which containeth in it self the fixed salt into which earth all the elements do incenter The light is compared to the divine world the Heaven to the English and the earth to the elementary Above the Heaven and the Firmament are the spiritual above the waters into which nature doth pour forth it self which above the upper waters have their world and the true Paradise where there is meer light and no darkness Which world in these last times is made manifest in which the Nuptial of the Lamb and his Bride and the great true Supper will be kept Those that in the first Resurrection and Change at the coming of Jesus Christ have part shall meet the Lord and taken up into the Air to go with him into Paradise and shall thus be with the Lord always The whole Sphere of the world of earth and water are carryed and held up by the air even as a body is kept and held up by the spirit and breath that it may not fall CHAP. XIV Of the particular Creation THe Creation in its order is threefold First General in the Scha Ma Jm which was the first Materia and is yet out of which corporally all things are Created into which all Principles come together and are concentred Afterward Special on and in the Element as Lights Heaven Earth and Water Spirit Wind and Air are contained in Scha Ma Jm. Lastly Particular as in all these things which out on in and by the Elements were Created produced and made The first that was made in the particular Creation were the Vegitables all growing things on earth as Grass Herbs Trees amongst which the Vine Tree is the chiefest Now every thing hath its proper seed in it self Therefore here ceaseth Creation and Conception
he that desires to know God must learn to know him in his image and that perfectly which perfect knowledge is this That God is man and that he is true man who is of God and God is in him This is the wisdom that is mystical hitherto and yet is manifest but only to the wise and is called Theosophia because God doth no where so clearly manifest himself as in man who is his image or honour or glory 1 Cor. 11. 7. Therefore man needs not to go far but only into himself to learn the true knowledge of God and to seek after God in himself and himself in God If he do not thus all is vain and no where else any wisdom to be found Acts 17. 27. Luke 17. 21. Seeing the three other books proceed only from the one Book as the world of God therefore all three do testifie unanimously of this book 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 namely each in its letter wisdom and testimony but none so clearly as man doth This is that great whole and perfect Library of wisemen wherewith in justice and equity they may be contented All wisdom and knowledg with their mysteries in these books we may not learn any where else but only through the same Spirit who himself hath penned these books made and testified He therefore who is desirous to study these books must from the bottom of his heart acknowledge and confess his own blindness folly and ignorance and must pray unto the Father of Lights for illumination wisdom and understanding that he would send his holy spirit which may lead us into all truth and take us away from all foolishness and falshood and may bring us to the Light of Gods glory Which may not be done by any other means then through a love to God and to mans own salvation and through a holy life without all Hypocrisie and through the Light that commeth from above and not from beneath from man and his wisdom which all those must learn to deny that desire to learn the wisdom of the holy ones We will speak thus That hitherto all these books were sealed up but are now opened in the end of the World according to the Prophecy 4 Esd 6. 20. Dan 12. 9. Zach. 14. 7. And if wise worldly men are offended at this they betray themselves that the wisdom of the holy one is not in them The books of wisdom testifie unanimously of the word by which all things are created and in which only all wisdom doth rest and which is the beginning of all beginnings in which is all and without which nothing is which is all in all God blessed for ever Amen CHAP. II. Of those principles and beginnings of all things as also of God himself and of all whatsoever it be THe Principle of all Principles and beginning of all beginnings as also of God himself is only the word according to the testimony of the divine truth and word it self John 1. Now the word may not be defined otherwise then that it is a Spirit breath or voice of God yea God himself in such a subsistence essence and being as namely How the image of God doth represent us according to the similitude which is man as that he is a quic●ning spirit a spiritual Adam and heavenly man which is God the Lord glorined and magnified for ever Amen Now we hold altogether that this is the proper definition of God and no other which the holy writ clearly signifieth 1 Cor. 15. 45 47 48. who according to his Image and Similitude hath created a spiritual Adam and Terrestrial man when God said Let us make Adam or Man after our image after our Similitude Gen. 1. 26 27. Now the word being the Beginning of all Beginnings there is contained in the same the Light Life and Love The Light affords the Revelation of God for God is Light and dwelleth in Light and is the Father of Lights Life is the virtue and power of God and a quickning Spirit who hath createth and preserveth all Love is a Testimony of God in which is the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost in one word which is called Jesus Christ the spiritual Adam and heavenly Man Messias who is Essential Alpha and Omega All in All the Beginning and the End the First and the Last Blessed and Praised for ever Amen Rev. 1. 22. Now the word being the true Principle in God himself then consequently all proceedeth from the word out of which do chiefly manifest themselves three general Principles in which Principles with and through which all things are contained and are these namely God Nature Element Now these three general Principles afford also a threefold world namely a divine uncreated from Godflowing world from Eternity then an Angelical world which proceedeth or lighteth forth or shineth forth out of the Light in which God dwelleth and lastly an Elementary world whose Original came out of the water After these three general Principles proceed also three special Principles namely Ghost Wind and Water Now every world hath its proper Ghost Wind and Water in their Kind and Nature All things Created out of the divine world from above are Created out of Water and Spirit from above through the wind and breath of the Omnipotent God for to the Divine world is properly competent the Spirit to the Angelical is properly competent the wind and to the Elementary world is water proper After these special Principles follow lastly particular Principles each of which hath its proper Being out of which in which and from which it consists But these three Principles proceed from the former and are Spirit Soul and Life and Body All bodies are out of the Water All Life and Soul out of the Wind And all Spirit out of the Spirit But concerning the Angels their Body is out of the Wind of the Angelical World their Soul and Life a Fire-flame and their Soul a ●ight of which elsewhere These are our Principles in the Wisdom out of which all things have their Original Whether other Principles may be shewed unto us we do much doubt The Primum mobile first mover of all things is the Word for in it is the Life The Secundum mobile Second mover of all things is the Spirit through which all things are Created The Tertium mobile Third mover is the Wind and these three moving Principles are the Perpetnum mobile everlasting mover of all things by which all things move live and have their Being But these three do rest upon the Water bodily out of which the World is and all things are And in the Air according to the Life wherein all things are And in Heaven from which all things come from above after the Spirit but the Spirit from God from which he cometh and returneth thither John 1. 4. Psal 104. 30. Acts 17. 28. Eccles 12. 7. But all these come together on and in the Earth as in the heart of the world Wisd 1. 7. In these
Souls and Life out of Nature and that from Heaven through the Wind and Air from which all that hath breath doth live und feed as through the forth-going breath of the VVord contained in the second Principle for the word of God feeds every Spirit Life and Body with its breath or blowing upon because Life is in the word which beareth all things by his power even as it hath Created all things Now as all things consist of Body Soul and Spirit so they have three sorts of food to their ilfe substance the bodily food to the body out of the Elements as from that which cometh out of the waters and out of the Earth whence also the body doth come is taken and is made The soulish food to the Soul Life in every thing out of Nature through both the Elements of VVind and Air from whence also the Life and Soul doth bome The Spiritual food to the Spirit and that from God at from whom the Spirit is namely each Spirit according to its measure and to the Spirit in every way this food cometh from Heaven through the Spirit and Light as from the three Spiritual Elements from whence also the Spirit did come Nature doth assemble it self in her Spirits Life and body to the wind Air and water The Angelical world in its body is no earth as the Elementary is but it is the right body of the water out of which it subsisteth and that body is here beneath with us ICE but above it is an Angelical earth like unto a Christal And in a word it is a most noble Salt of Life fertile or constant or firm over all and is the Paradise in it self It is an Angelical Air which doth not fetch breath there as the living Soul for the Life of Nature is Eternal in regard of the end but it liveth and moveth in the Virtue of Gods word Eternally sine respiratione or without breathing Therefore death cannot Reign in the Angelical world over the Nature and over the Tree of Life but is rather overcome by it how much more by God for the Tree of Life stands unmoveable Therefore by the breaking of the fruit of this Tree at the glorious coming of Christ all shall come from death to life and shall be freed and redeemed from death Devil and Curse Lastly in its Spirit also it is of an Angelical Spirit by the power of the word and Testimony of God Thus namely that the Dragon hath no power over it but is conquered by the Spirit of the same is cast out and quite extruded and cast away How much more th●n by God Therefore seeing the Nature in her Spirit is the wind of the Almighty and a going forth of the Light in which God dwelleth and cannot come to that evil one or may not fall into an evil neither may it be blasted or poisoned by the breath of the old Serpent The Divine world in its being is compared to the most noble body of the water and earth as it were to a Heavenly body which is and are an Essential Spiritual Salt as the most noble and pure Gems precious stones and glistering Gold In its Life it is the breath of the Almighty a Soul and Life proceeding out of the mouth of God in and to an Eternal Life and in its Spirit the Spirit of the Lord it self who is God praised for ever God is the Spirit the Nature is the Soul or the Life and the Elements are the Body But be it known that each world hath its proper Nature and Element and that the one world is never changed into the other neither can it be altered nor one Principle general into another Now each Principle hath its proper Spirit Life and Body CHAP. V. Of the third general Principle namely of the Element GOd himself is all in all out of him are all things according to the Spirit by him are all things according to the word and to him are all things according to the Providence or Confidence Rom. 11. 36. Wisd 1. 7. Chap. 12. 1. Gen. 1. John 1. Psal 104. 27 28. 136. 25. 145. 15 16. The nature is all but not in all because she is not in God who hath his own Nature and the Elements also are not all but something only which is a Salt This something is from God after the Spirit from Nature after the Life and Soul and from the Spiritual water after the body And again the water out of the Salt each world is and doth flow out of the other The Nature stands to the Angelical world and is a flowing out of the divine world and the Elementary world is an overflowing of the Nature and Angelical world Lastly Man cometh forth out of the three worlds and is the concentred or conjoyned Centrum of all the worlds There are seven Elements or Powers of the world as Spirit Wind Air and Water Light Heaven and Earth and are such by which in and through which this world consists and subsists and without which it cannot subsist These seven Elements are Created out of such a one which in the Elementary world are all in all and are incorruptible namely Salt which is an excretion of Nature Execrementum quasi sobriè sumptum whereby in this world all things bodily subsist and are preserved Now there is a threefold Salt namely a Spiritual soulish and a Bodily and Palpable The Bodily is fixt and permanent both in Water and Fire Whence we know out of what wherein and whereby all things stand firm and constant both in the Water and the Fire that they may not be drowned and wherewith they are closed up The Soulish Salt is flying because life and Soul is in it and the growth of all whereby all things receive both body and life but when it cometh down again and turneth to the fixed Salt again then they receive Life But the Spiritual Salt is a right true essence and in this world the most noble Being of all Being Spiritus universi the Spirits of the Elements and their Light and Heaven in its Essence The Spiritual Salt dwelleth in the Spirit Light and Heaven and giveth to the body of the Resurrection as Spiritual from the Spirit Light and Heaven The Volans or flying Salt dwelleth in the Wind Air Rain and Dew this giveth out of wind and air to the body after death The fixed Corporeal Salt dwelleth in water and earth out of which this our body doth subsist But Salt is the right fixed Salt and the right water of Life which is a dry water and together water and Earth in which the air and wind is secretly hid and also the Heavens Light and Spirit in its depths which are then the seven Powers of the Element and world and all seven may easily undeniably and manifestly to the eye be demonstrated if the same be Anatomized This only Element of all Elements is a Power of all Powers in this World The Salt is an Excrement
Earth which four Elements stand still unmoveable into which the three special Principles do overflow with their body soul and spirit as to the Water Wind and Spirit and work out all and finish the same The water is as it were the Element the Wind is like as Angelical and the Nature and the Spirit is Divine CHAP. VII Of the particular principles Body Soul and Spirit W●th those are the Principles inclosed and consists in a threefold Trinity and always one produceth another and stand always orderly in their subordinates and agree together that they make up a true and whole Harmony and are enclosed at last in the Light Life and Love The body of all them is and consists out of the water also the Earth the Water out of the Wind the Wind out of the Spirit and the Spirit o●t of God There is a threefold body namely a sensible or palpable out of Water and Earth a Soulish out of Wind and Air and a spiritual out of Heaven Light and Spirit So is an Elementary hody an Angelical and a Divine very well to be distinguished on man Further the Soul is corporeal out of the Air from whence it is fed also and soulish out of the Wind and Spiritual out of the Light The Spirit is Corporeal out 〈◊〉 from the Heaven Soulish out of the Light and spiritual out of the spirit of the Elements out of the Nature and of God according as the Creature is Out of these three general Principles Man hath also a threefold spirit according to his measure and is the perfectest creature Always one body dwelleth in the other and as soon as one body is dissolved and broken in the same moment another and more noble body is manifest and that in all things If now the body becometh nobler needs must the Spirit be more noble high and glorious But this is the body after which the wise do seek Namely the Salt which containeth all in it self This body they drown in a Water which floweth out of the Centrum of the Vegetables and draw out all vertues which afterward come together in a celestial spiritual body and afford that precious jewel All things that are killd and dye naturally are drownd in a cold Saturnine Water for all natural death is done by coldness but what is kill'd in the Fire without a Saturnine Water is not fit to Nature for a better state Only the Salt we seek in the fire and then through the Water and afterwards cleanse and purifie it with the Baptism of Fire and of Water We should therefore six our thoughts on the water and use the fire very carefully because it is a contrary Element before which nothing can subsist but only the Salt This is the true body of all Elements and of all things in the whole world if that be taken away th●● all perisheth quickly and the Gold it self also in the Fire This is the right Heaven wherein dwell all powers and is in all things in the whole world their Heaven and is compared to the Tree of Life in Paradise Now the soul according to the highest degree is out of the nature According to the second degree from the Light and according to the third degree out of the Wind. These are the Principles of the living soul soul and spirit are distinct as God and Nature Spirit and Wind as Angel and living soul yea as spirit and breath The middle Principle among the three Principles is always instead of the Mother as the Nature Wind and Soul The body is the Child which the spirit ●s a Father begets through the soul Out of the spirit cometh the soul he lets it out as his breath and from both these the body The firm soul and spirit as the true life and spirit which is like unto the Angelical world is always in the right body of all things that is in the Salt when it is opened then they come forth in a great clearness as in an Angelical glory At last the spirit of all things is out of the three general Principles in each according to their portion and measure Now the spirit affords the right inward essence the forma essentialis differentia specifica abstractum essentiae and nothing else From the same the body and soul also receive their essence whereby the one from the other essentially and properly are distinguished as man from beasts a beast foul fish vermin c from others and so one thing from another All Creatures are distinguished chiefly into three as into Animalia all living souls into vegetabilia all that grow and spring out of the earth and into Mineralia things that grow under the earth and are digged out and so in the water also These are distinct as the three Principles and in our wisdom always a fair harmony doth represent it self All living souls consist out of Water and bloud in their seeds through a moist warmth and a warm moistness each in its mother All growing things consist in their seed out of a slimy water through the Salt which is fixed in the root flying in the herb leaf and grass and essential in the flower and all three concentre at last in the seed All Minerals Metals and what belongeth to it grow out of a fat earth which the Salt of the earth doth hatch and do coagulate through a cold fire which is a Saturnine Water that is a fiery water and a waterish fire that doth not burn Even as upon earth all things grow by rain and dew as also in the earth it raineth thaweth and is misty thereby grow the Minerals Metals and the like and all this from the salt fixed flying and essential The flying Salt begets Sulphur the essential begets Mercury Among the Vermin the chiefest is the Viper with her brood and kind and is Mercurial Among the Vegetables is the Vine a channel out of which come three sorts of water and also a noble Mineral and is the Centre of the Vegetables Among the Mineral is the Gold yea the Salt Of all these three the Concentred Center is man above all that is created CHAP. VIII Of the Elements and contrary Elements in the Creation THe seven Elements or Powers of the world do rest only upon one which is a right well of all Elements in our thoughts because it containeth all An Element is such a thing out of which and in which the world and all doth consist without which nothing can subsist Again a contrary Element is such whereby the world and Elements are altered and corrupt and at last must quite perish thereby Now all things are Created out of three Principles Materialiter namely out of the word as out of a spiritual out of nature as a soulish and out of the Elements and contrary Elements as an incorporeal-corporeal and Corporeal-incorporeal that is out of the Elements after something and out of the contrary Elements according to nothing The word is the all the Elements are the
Communion of such spirits at all neither should it be because it is the next degree to Witch-craft The Natural Magick can do much of which the wise Men of the East made use profitably who clime to Christ But the Angelical may do more yet and much more the divine But we must strive always after the best and Man hath within him a threefold Magnet or 〈◊〉 whereby he can draw to him all spirits in the world and can do wonders But what saith the Lord to it Mat. 7. 22 Luke 10 20. For by the natural Magick Devils may be cast out and great wonders done by it The Prince of darkness can turn to the shape of of an Angel of light and will have every where his hand in the work Now is a very dangerous time because all spirits are stirring because their end is so nigh that it is hardly believed The Air is fuit of spirits and the he Earth also is full of them and every man hath his proper Angel and his bad Angel also By the good Angels all good things man doth are set down truly and the bad Angels observe all evil that man doth and when once the books are to be opened men will be judged according to their works and words Well be it with him who hath blotted out his black Register with repenting tears The spirit we cannot see unless our eyes be opened Lastly between light and darkness light and fire is such a great difference as between life and death blessedness and perdition yea as between God and the Devil The light is and will be an Eternal dwelling of God But darkness and fire is an everlasting habitation of Devils and the damned CHAP XI Of the Principle of the fire and its Mystery THere is a threefold fire namely the fire of the contrary Element the fire of the Angels and the fire of the Devils The fire of the contrary element is threefold First before the fall a still resting and unmanifested fire without a burning flame Secondly after the fall a kindled manifested burning flaming fire Thirdly a cold waterish fire which doth not burn yet smoketh worketh into the earth upon Minerals and Metals With this cold waterish fire all things are forced and the Metals also for it doth calcinate them and turneth them as it were into ashes destroyeth and openeth them This fire is chiefly threefold as 1. Vegitable which is as it were tempered and is a well rectified Vineger which is extreamly useful Of which not many words Sat sapienti dictum Secondly it is a mineral fire which chiefly is the true spirit of Nitre a spiritual water out of Salt-peter which hath both heat and cold and is Infernal and Coelestial Thirdly Mercurial or Saturnine a strong Salt that hath not its fellow Without this no Metal is engendred nor broken or groweth in which is a great mystery hid more then can be Imagined But the true spirit of Nitre must not be prepared without a cold fire for the raging horrible and furious Hell which is in Saltpeter must in its devouring and consuming fire be over whelmed drowned and devoured and be reduced to a blessed Heaven Now when a Heavenly Water is at hand then a new birth from above out of water and spirit can follow Here lyeth hid a great Medicine in time of the raging Plague Head-aches Leavers Stone Gout and many more diseases to be used And truly the time is come when all things must be made manifest and although we have not yet with our hands prepared it yet the spirit of wisdom can teach us all what is secret and mystical who searcheth into all deepnesses and can shew testifie and make known to us that which no eye hath seen no● Ear hath heard and which hath never entred into mans heart Thirdly There is also a Metalline cold fire which reduceth all Metals yea Gold it self to nothing only that noble grain in the Gold hidden stayeth and remaineth which cannot be forced and that fire is Lead Saturn which devoureth all Metals and consumeth also it self in the fire at last Even as the common fire doth consume and devour all wood and at last it self is consumed and goeth out But in the Cinders that remain there lyeth the treasure hidden which must be drawn out of it with hot water The Metals have two sorts of waters a Cold and a Hot and both are fire The Cold is Saturn Lead the Hot is Mercury Now as the one is an extream Hellish Cold so is the other extream hot of a Hellish Heat so that by reason of heat it stands in a continual flowing although it feels outwardly Cold. Now in this fire water the Metals especially Gold after their death are born anew namely in the Metalline world and Reign and yet are anew Clarified Christalline Spiritual Heavenly body which is so glorious that it can make inferiour and less precious yet to his nature not unlike Metals to his own substance So much is it worth to know the nature of fire and its mystery without which no good or profitable use of it may be had for our good for all must be killed first in the cold fire even as it were through its Winter according to the proceeding of nature must dye and putrifie if it shall be produced again in a new body Now the fire according to its principle is begotten out of darkness from thence it is produced and returneth into it again But darkness was begotten out of the Nothing and that Nothing stood there in the beginning of the Creation to the Something as a Testimony of that which was Created For all that is made and Created that was before nothing and before it be fashioned then it was not fashioned without a frame and was as it were a dark Ens or Being out of which afterward is born the Light that is a fashionable Being that is out of the invisible a visible thing is made Therefore the darkness and fire in a good sense and before the fall are an excrement of the Light yet are good and useful even as that which a Workmaster heweth or cutteth away from that matter which he intends to make some fashionable thing Even as Chips from wood are of the same substance with that which is framed out of it yet an excrement of it and when these Chips are flung into the fire they return to nothing So the contrary Elements when they are known they are no more good but an opposition adverse and stark nought Further be it known that in the divine world are no contrary Elements nay there can be none in it although their power hath pressed into it yea in the depths of God in which it grew dark when the Lord of glory dyed on the Cross and the fire of the raging wrath of God consumed the same and death and perdition killed him Who can speak it out or who knows what this saying doth mean Also in the Angelical world
the things on Earth Col. 3. 2. In my fathers house are many dwellings that last for ever saith Christ John 14. Why should we regard the visible things which are fading away The Apostle saith If there be a Soulish body then there is a Spiritual body also 1 Cor. 15. 44. And when this house of our Earthly Tabernacle is broken then we have an house from above of God which is not made with hands 2 Cor. 5. There are Terrestrial bodies there are also Coelestial 1 Cor. 15. 40. Yet always the Spiritual Coelestial and yet invisible are hid within the soulish Terrestrial and visible Now as God his invisible glory continually poureth down into this sublunary world so he gathereth it to him again and then when all is ended in the end he will set them before him in a new Creation as it is written Rev. 21. 5. Behold I make or Create all things new But before this new Creation cometh the renewing of the old Creation and Creature goeth before Namely in the joyful coming of the Lord which will be with great power and glory because all shall be set free that is called Creature Rom. 8. 23. From the Devil Curse Death then will be the joyful Jubile Now we must know that there will be great difference between the renewing and the new being it self The old Creature is made new in its old being but the new Creature hath a new essence and that not from below as the old but from above For above is the right essence below is o ly the type and Image this is the mystery we are to observe Above are the right Principles and Elements these below are only a shadow Below are meerly Terrestrial bodies but above are the Coelestial although they are hid in those below The Terrestrial bodies are meer Ashes but the Coelestial are a noble salt of life The Terrestrial life is only soulish and a mouth full of breath If that be gone then down falls all But the Coelestial life is an Eternal life and cannot dye The Terrestrial spirit is but a wind if that be gone it flyeth into the air and vanisheth But the Spirit of God is a quickening Spirit ' even as God himself is Now as all things are an Image of the Heavenly so in truth the soulish Adam and Terrestrial man is an Image also of the Spiritual Adam and Heavenly man which is Christ in God and God in Christ This is the great and miraculous Mystery which thou O man O Adam O thou Image of God chiefly above all things shouldst observe that thou maist know thy self in God and God in thee and maist know and learn what man is what Adam is what the Image of God is that is what thou thy self art of which in our book Adam which is the greatest wisdom Namely for one to know himself after a perfect and true knowledge which is spirit and truth He that doth not regard this but despiseth it which yet is Gods Image rebuketh himself and will be rebuked of God also CHAP. XVII Of the Creation of man and his Anatomy MAn hath nothing so much to care for as himself that he may know his own best and salvation Now he that knoweth himself aright in spirit and in truth knoweth God also and all things Therefore mans knowing himself availeth most to himself Now to speak briefly all things and man also consist in one three and seven The one is individual a self-subsisting in it self The three are Body Soul and Spirit And the seven are chiefly the seven Powers after the seven Powers of the seven Elements and after the seven Spirits of God which seven Powers every Creature hath in it self in its glory Even so man is an only man in himself personally 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 individualiter in his self subsistance But is put together of three as of Body Soul and Spirit and is testified by seven Powers as 1. by Moving 2. by Hearing 3. by Seeing 4 by Smelling 5. by Tasting 6. by Thinking and Reasoning 7. by Sounding or Voice Moving containeth the life to feel see go c. are reckoned all to one In this part now Man is Soulish like unto the living Souls and Beasts which have all these but in their portion and measure number and weight namely as much as belongeth to them According to this man hath no more then they and hath with them a living Soul out and after the Elements of equal beginning out of the earth and of like going down to the earth again Sal. in Eccles 3. 19. After Man hath more then the Beasts which is out of another world namely out of the Angelical which is the Mind which in its spirit is a Preacher of the Law in all men from Nature and hath the Knowledge Will and Conscience to good directs Man to all good and accuseth man in evil things in his Conscience Num. 2. 15 16. Lastly Man hath also a higher and more glorious thing in him which is the Breath of the Almighty a Heavenly Soul and life from God which God breathed into the first mans Nostrils and face wherewith he hath marked and testified his divine inward love to his Image in and on a piece and part of the Eternal light and life Gen. 2. 7. Job 27. 3. c. 33. 4. According to this part Man is Immortal because he hath such a treasure within him namely the Breath of the Almighty and thus herein he is very much distinct from the beasts yea he is above the Angels In this Heavenly Soul is hidden the Kingdom of God and in this Breath of the Almighty consists the true Manhood by which he becometh a true immortal man But in the other Elementary part he is like unto the Beasts Terrestrial Corruptible Mortal Dust and Ashes Now man having received at the Creation such a part out of God from thence he can be made partaker of the new birth Creation and Creature from God of his Nature and Essential seed which is the most holy Flesh and Bloud of the Word which is Christ and thus the new man is the new Creature out of Gods and his quickening Words seed that is of Christ and of this Spiritual Adam and Heavenly man of his flesh and bone John 1. 13. c. 3. 1. John 3. 9. 1 Pet. 1. 23. 2 Pet. 1. 4. 2 Cor. 5. 17. 1 Cor. 15. 45 47 48. Eph. 5. 30. This Seed of God Man receiveth into his Heavenly Soul through the Holy Spirit to a new life of Gods Inheritance And this body together with this Heavenly Soul and the Holy Ghost from God in its full self-subsistance doth not personally appear till after the Angelical glory and laying down of the same body Lastly in the end it entreth into the divine world Hence it is said not to be manifest yet what the Children of God are 1 John 3. Only in a Riddle and obscure word is it spoken of After the part of the first Resurrection

THE AUTHORS EPISTLE To the Courteous and Well minded READER Reader I Thought not of publishing this my Epitaph or Hyeroglyphical Figur'd Scutcheons further then my Grave Stone being in a Living Grave and in despair of Life when I made them but since Almighty God hath gratiously extended the Thread of my Life and providentially put these adjoyned Treatises for my Task before I dyed and being earnestly entreated by a Friend to publish and explain them I thought good to offer my mean Mite to the World so that thou mayest not only see and read an Aenygma in these my Scutcheons and Epitaph but have me thy Aedypus to unfold them Where als● I have set forth the Philosophers Stone and shewed the Causes and manner of Multiplication of Life and Seed and given thee as an Overplus a clear relish of the Alchahest and Salt of Tartar volatized with other Elixirs and Philosophick Medicines c. in 5 small succinct Chapters to put thee one step forward in this knowledge if thou wantst my help or if beyond me to shame thy backwardness of imploying thy Talent to Vsury and profit of thy neighbour And I wish all men would rather study substance and matter with Laconick-Brevity and plainness in their writings then prolix Puff-pasted Eloquence and Ostentation that so our Life might be improved in sound Knowledge and virtue and God receive all Praise and Honour to whom it is Eternally due Now to this my short Epitaph with Explanation I have added Pythagoras his Metapaysical Philosophick Figure and have adjoyned Abbreviated notes of Helvetius his Golden Calf and Glaubers new Chymical Light Treating of the rarest Transmutations and Miracles of Nature and likewise of unheard of Extractions of Gold and Silver and something better out of all Sands and out of the very Stones of the Streets for the Relief of all men Proceeding from a true desire to be Thy Christian Friend and Servant W.

TO HIS Worthy and much Honoured Friend ELIAS ASHMOLE Esq One of the Kings Majesties Heraulds at Arms and Comptroller of the Excises through all England Honoured Sir HAving but barely though faithfully Translated this Helvetius treating of the most rare and experimental Transmutation of Metals I thought it not fit to make any Dedication but seeing I have adjoyned my own Epitaph with several Scutcheons Mottos and Explanations with Pythagoras his General Figure Blazoning Philosophical Herauldry and also the Alchahest Samech ' with other Elixirs c. I consulted it was very proper to present the same to your Judicious view whose abilities might challenge the same especially since I received some civilities from you of a little like Nature in the small intermission of my Long troubles 1662. Likewise being an Englishman whose Patronage in general you seem to avouch by those Worthy Collections of English Philosophick Chymical Authors formerly published by you I know you have another Coat of Arms for my Paternal Family in your Heraulds Office which would suit with the said Epitaph if it were only as it is also intended for a plain Sculpture to be upon my Grave Stone Yet such Scutcheons had not been so proper for this place these being chiefly here intended for the Philosophers Stone agreeing with my said Epitaph in the Elements Principles and whole perfection thereof excellently manifested by our late English Phaenix or Elias Artisto Anonymon in his Book of The open entrance to the shut Pallace of the King Now some perchance may think it incongruous for any man to publish his own Epitaph or annex any such Novel Scutcheons Yet since they and their Explanations are Philosophick and the Philosophers Patrons are Truth and Reason which should govern all sorts of men I was the more confident of allowance and approbation And indeed Sir I may affirm they were made in a Living Grave 1652. From whence I never thought to come forth no more then probably Jonas might in the Whales Belly Daniel in the Lyons Den or the three Children in the Fiery Furnace Being grievously oppressed and clowded in my long Troubles and since as little regarded Wherefore I hope these may be better excused especially if it may tend to Gods Glory as I hope it will by a continual warning or Memento Mori to the Reader for his souls health though he want the Philosophick spectacles to understand the sense more perfectly However Sir give me leave to tender you these small Reliques of my obsequious obsequy as Burnt Offerings Reviving and describing Aarons Calf ground to dust by Moses with Helvetius his Golden Calf burnt to a stone or Pouder by the Teutonic Elias Artista and I wish you might prove another Elias as your name imports in this Fiery Chariot or Transfiguration for the benefit of this our English nation and of the whole world to glorifie him who is the giver of all good things And although as if dead I should remain unknown in the Whales Belly on Jobs Dunghil or Diogenes his Tub Yet entertain these as your own worth deserves and requires with a Noble mind not regarding the weakness or misfortunes of the giver which will the more illustrate your virtues and oblige Worthy Sir Your faithful Friend and humble Servant W.
