80. V. They had alfo all power to difpofe of all the Ideas, figures and growths or vegetations,as they would, all was a hearty Love-play Sport or Skene in God, they had not at all moved God their Creator to any contrary will, though they had broken all the heavenly Ideas figures or vegetations and growths,, and had made of them all, Horfes to Ride on; God had ftill alwaies cauie enough of other •, to come up inftcäd o£them3 for it had all been but a play or Scene in God.
8 1. For to that very Snd alfo they were created, that they iliould play and fport with the Ideas, figures and growths or vegetations, and difpofe of them for their own ufe as they pleafed.

83. Thou haft a very good Example and Inftance of this, if thou wilt but fee, and wilt not be ftark blind here: liz. In the Beafts3 Fowles, and all vege- tations or growths in this world: all thefe were crea- ted C h.

Anfwer, 84. When God had thus gently incorporated it or compacted it together, then it found and felt it felf to be mighty and powerful, and faw that it retained a Body as fair and excellent, as the figures were that were without diftinft from it: thereupon it became high minded, and elevated it felf in its Body, and would be more fevere and eager, then the Saliner was, which was without diftincl: from its Body.
85. But being t it could not do any thing 4/0»^ t the Aftrk- it flattered and playd the hypocrite with the other |e™°rhaiA Spirits, fo that they followed it as their Father, and piIitl did all as they faw it do, each in its own Quality.
8 6, Now being thus agreod, they generated alfo fuch a fpirit which did come forth at the Mouth, at the Eyes, at the Ears and at the Noßrils, and affed- ed or mixed it felf with the Salitter that was without diftinft from the Body j 87. For, the intent and purpofe of the aftrin- gent or harfn quality, being it was fo glorious, when the kernel was incorporated or compacted to- gether out of the whole Kingdom,!'/*, its intent was, tnatitalfo through its fpirit, which it did generate by or with the other fpirits, would rule powerfully Tt 2, with 2 % i 7§w Lucifer the fair eft Angel Ch.XIV.
with the marpnMe Externally without its own Bo- dy, in the whole saliner of God, and that all fhould ftand and be in or under its own Power and Autho- rity.
8 8. It would Image frame and form ail through its own fpirit, which it generated $ as the whole Deity did, It would have the Primacie in the whole Deity: This was its purpofe, 89. But being it could not effect, it in its true Na- tural feat, it thereupon elevated it felf, and kindled it felf.
20. And fo by this kindling it kindled its fpirit alio, which now went forth at the Mouth, the Ears> the Eyes and the Noftrils as a very fierce furious fpi- rit, and ftrove againft the Salitter in its place, as a furious ft orming raging Lord, and kindled the Sa- lute/^ and attracted or drew all forcibly together.
Thou mufi understand it aright.
9 1. The aftringent or harfh Quality in the fpirit that went forth> kindled the aftringent or harfh Qua- lity which was in the Place of its %sgion^ or in Na- ture, zizAn the feventh qualifying or fountain Spi- rit} and ruled powerfully in the aftringent quality in the Salitter, and that, the Aftringent Quality in the Salitter would not have,, but ftrove with the fwcet water againft this fpirit, but all would not help, the ftorm grew hotter and hotter, the longer the greater, till at length the aftringent or harfh Quality of the Salitter was kindled,.
$ 3. And fo when this was done, then the ftorm grew/o hot) that the aftringent quality drew the Sa- litter together, fo that hard f ones proceeded from it, whence the ftones in this world have their Original: """' And Ch.XIV. became the fiuleft Devil. 325 And the water in the Saliner was alfo attra&ed or drawn together, fo that it became very thick, as it is now at prefent in this world.
93. But when the aftringent quality was kindled in Lucifer,then it became very Cold:for the Coldneße is its own proper fpirit, and thereupon now it kin- dleth with its cold fire alfo, all, in the Saliner -.
94. And hence the water of this world became fo cold dark and thick, and hence it is that all is be- come fo hard and palpable, which was not fo before the Times of the Angels.
95. Aud this now was a great contrary will in the Divine Saliner^ a great Battel and ftrife, and an Eternall Emnhy.
But now thou wilt fay: Objection.

98. Ye Philofophers and Jurijh or Lawyers of Prince Lucifer, here you muft firft defend the aftrin- gent or harm quality in Lucifer, and anfveer whether it hath dealt righteoufly or no, and prove it in Na- ture. I do not accept of your extorted wrefted bow- ed ftretch'd and far-fetch'd Texts of Scripture, brought in by head and (boulders for a froof, but I will have living Teftimonies.
99. And I will fet before you alfo living Teftimo- nies3 viz. the created and comprehenfible Heaven, the Stars, the Elements, the Creatures, the Earth, Stones, Men, and laftly your dark, cold, hot, hard, rough fmoaky wicked Prince Lucifer himfelf: all the[e are come into this prefent condition, through his elevation.
100. Here bring in your defence, andanfwer for your fpirit; if not, it will be condemned. For this is Gods Jw Right or Law, which hath no begin- mg, that the child, which is generated of the mo- ther, mould be Humble before the mother, and be obedient to her; for ithath its life and Body from the mother, who hath generated it.
to 1. Alfo the houfe of the Mother, as long as the mother liveth,is not the childs proper own, but the mother keeps the child with her in love,fhe nourifh- ethit, and puttethon it the bell and braveft Attire which fhe hath, and giveth the fame to it for its own, that her joy may be encreafed by the child, and that me may have Joy in it.

103. And thus it was between God and his child Lucifer. The Father did put on him the faireft At- tire, hoping to have Joy in him: But when the child got the Robe and Ornament, he defpiled the Father, and would domineer over the Fattier 5 and would luine his Fathers houfe; and befides, ftruck at the Father, and would not be advifed or taught to do otherwise.

Now what did this aftringent or harm Qua» lity with its CMotber the fweet Water?
Arfwer.
106. It flattered with the Bitter Quality, and with the ffeat&nd perfwaded them that they {hould elevate themfclves and be kindled^ and fo together they would deftroy their mother, and turn her into a /b»?' form or property, whereby they would do- mineer with their fpirit very fharply, over the whole Deity, all muft bow down and crouch to them, and they would form frame figure and image all with their fyarpnefle.
107. According to this falfeor wicked conclufion, and rcfult they agreed to do one and the fame thing, and fo dryed up the fweet water in Lucifer's Bpdy,the heat kindled it, and the aftringent dryed it, and then it became very four and Jharp.
108. And when in this qualifying or acting they had generated the Spirit of Lucifer^ then the life of the fpirit, which rifeth up in the water, asalfo the //g/;/,became very (our and (harp.
109. And now this four fpirit alfo ftormed with all its powers againft the fweet water, which was wichout diftinct from the Body, in Gods Salitter,an& thought, itfelf muft needs be the Prime and chief, and i hould in its own power, form frame and Image every thing.

And this was the Second Smnitj againft God, from whence is exifted the four quality in this world j Ch.XIV. became the foulejt Devil, jis alfoy •%£ world, for it was not fo from Eternity 5 as you have an Example thereof in this 5 viz.. if you fet any fweet thing in the warmth, and let it ftand therein,it grow- ethfowr of it (elf: as alfo Water, Beer or Wine in a vefTell will do 5 but none of the other qualities do alter, but only into &fiinck> which is caufed by the Quality of Water.
Now thou wilt Ask: Quejtion.
Why did God fuffer Lucifers Evilfpirit which proceeded out of the Body of Lucifer, to come into Him} could he not » hinder it?
: Answer.
in. Thou muftknow, that betwixt God and Lucifer there was no other difference? then there is between Parents and their children 5 nay, there was yet a nearer relation between them: For as Parents generate a child out of their Body according to their Image, and keep it in their houfe, as a natural Heir of their Bodies, and cherifh it 1 thus near alfo is the Body of Lucifer to the Deity.
112. For God had generated him out of his bo- dy, and therefore alfo made him the Heir of his Goods, and gave him the whole Region or Extent of the place in which he created him, for a Poffef- iion.

113. But here thou muft know, what it was,that Lucifer did fight againft God with, and fo moved Cod to Anger. For, he could not do it with his Body: for his Bo Jy reached no further, then the place, where he then ftood; he could Effect little with that, but it was fomething elfe.
Be attentive here, Be attentive here, 114. Thefpirit, which is generated from or out of all the feven qualifying Spirits in the Centre of the Heart; the fame doth ( while it is yet in the Body, when it is generated) qualifie mix or aB'm and with God, as one fubftance or thing, neither is there any difference.
115. And when that fame Spirit, which is gene- rated in the Body, feeth any thing through the Eyes, or heareth through the Ears, or fmelleth through the Noftrills, then it is already in that things and worketh hboureth or að therein as in its own propriety.
1 1 £. And if the fame be pleafing to it, it eateth thereof, and is aßefted with the thing, and wreftleth therewith,and maketh a mixture or Temper together: let the thing be as far off as it will, eVen fo far as the Originality of its Kingdom, in Göd, reachcth 5 fo far can the Spirit govern orruleina Ulfoment, and is withheld or hindred by Nothing.
117. For it is, and comprehendeth the Power, as God the Holy Ghoft doth; and in this there is no difference at all betwixt God the Holy Ghoft, and the Chap.XIV, in Lucifer, 331 he Spirit of the Body, fave onely this, that the Holy Spirit of God, is the wifole fulnejje, and the fpirit of the Body is but a Piece, ox Part,which prefTeth through the whole FulnefTe,and where ever it cometha there it is mixed or afiefted with the place, and prefently ruleth with God in the fame place.
1 1 8. For it is of God and in God, and cannot be withheld or hindred, fave onely by the feien Na- ture-fpirits öf the Body, which generate the anima- ted or Soulith fpirit, they have the Reins in their Hand, and generate it as they pleafe.
« Gods Sprit lath all the qualities fountains or X. cc fources, but difiinguifheth it felf in three cc Principles, where three four c es or qualities cc arife, the ßrfi in the fire according to the <c ßrfi principle, and thefecondin flight cc in the fecond principle, and the third in the cc fpirit of this world in the Aeriall and cC idfiraii fourcei] ii?. When the aftringent or harfli quality 5 as the Father, formeth the Word or Sonne, or Spirit, then it ftands captive in the Center of the Heart, and is examined or tryed by the other fpirits, whe- ther it be good or no. Now if it pleafe the fire,then the fire letteth the flajh (in which the Bitter fpirit ftandeth) go through the fweet water,wherein it con- ceiveth the Love,. and goeth therewith into the aftringent Quality.
120. Now when the flafh returns with the Love into the aftringent quality again, together with the new generated fpirit or will; then the aftringent qua- lity rejoyceth in the New young Sonne, and elevateth itlelf. Vv 2 1 2 1. Then 3 J 2 The Second Kind of Sins Beginning Ch.XIV.

12 2. Therefore the original Luft fticketh in the circle of the Heart,in the Councel of the. feven fpirirsj and as they generate the fpirit, fo alfo it is.
1 2 3. And lb in this manner Lord Lucifer brought the Deity into Anger and Wrath: Y. [« that if, Kindled the Eternal Nature according cc to tkefirft Principle: ] Being he, together with all his Angels, as a malicious IM;/?,fought or ftrove againft the Deity, intending to bring and fubdue the whole Circumference Cir- cuit or Region under his innate Spirits, that they fhould form frame figure and Image all, and the whole Circumference Region or Extent flhould bow>% yield, and fuffer it felf to be ruled and formed by the kindled foarpneße of the innate fpirits. ter ji this 1 24.

The Fifteenth Chapter* Of the Third Species kind or form and manner of Sinnes beginning in Lucitet.
Hethiri Spirit in God is the Bitter Spirit, which exifteth in the flafh of Life: for the flafhof Life rifeth up in the fweet water through the rubbing or fretting of the aftringent and hot quality: but the body of the tiafh abideth in the fweet water, fubfifting very meekly as a Light or heart, and the flafh is very trembling, and by the tcrrour, and fire, and water, and aftrin- gent fpirit, it becomcth bitter through the original of the water, in which it rifeth up.
2. And that flafh or raging terrour, or bitter fpi- rit is caught or laid hold on by the aftringent quali- ty, and in ehe clear bright» light in the aftringent fpi- rit,is Glorified&nd exceeding highly Joyfull: which now is the mobility or the root of life, which in the aftringent quality Imageth frameth and formeth the Word, cr maketh it diftwft or feverall> fo that in the Chap. XV. in Lucifer. ^j the body, a Thought or Will doth exift.
3. Now this highly triumphing and Joyous fpi- ritis very fitly and excellently, in tne Divine Salit- ter, ufed to the Imaging or framing^becaufe it chief- ly moveth in the tone or Tune, and in the Love, and is nearefi to the heart of God in the Birth, and bound or united therewith in joy, which indeed is it felf alfo the fpring and fource of Joy, or the rifingup in the heart of God.
4. And there is no difference here but onely fuch as is between the Body and Soul in Man: and fo the Body {jgnffieth or Refembleth the feven qualify- ing fpirits of the Father ^ and the Soul fignifieth or Refembleth the onely begotten Sonne of God the Father.
[ cc The fpirit of the Soul fignifieth or reprefcnteth *» ** the Heart of God 5 and the Soul, the Eye of <c God in the firfi principle 1 as is declared in *c our Third Book, concerning the Threefold Life -cc of Man: ] 5. Now as the Body generated! the foul, fo the feven Spirits of God generate the Sonne: and as the Soul is a peculiar diftinB thing when it is generated, and yet is united with the Body, and cannot fubfift without the Body 5 fo alfo is the Sonne of God, when he is generated, a peculiar feverall diftind thing ^ al- io, and yet cannot fubfift without the Father: Now Obferve 1 # 6. Juft in fuch a Kind and manner was alfo the bitter quality in Lucifer,and had nojcaufe to elevate it felf,ncither had it any driving to it from any thing, but followedthe proud loftinefle of the aftringent X x quality,' 338 The ihtrd Kind of Sins beginning Qh.

quality, as its Fächer, and fuppofed alfo, it would reign in its kind and manner over the whole Deity, and 1 o kindled it felf in its elevation.
7. Now when it had half generated the animated or ioulifh fpirit in the Body, that fpirit became in this kind and manner a fierce, flinging, raging, kin- dled5and tearing ipirit, bitter as Gall, and is rightly the Quality of Hell fire, a very fierce and Enimici- tious hoftile Being.
8. Now when this fpirit in the animated or fou- lifti fpirit out of or from the heart of Lucifer and his Legions, roved [or [peculated] into the Deity $ [cc that is, brought its will thereinto, as into the Geni- trix; ] then it was no other but a tearing, break- ing, murthering and poifonous burning; concern- ing which Chrift laid 5 The Devil is a Liar and mur- therer from the beginning; and hath not continued in the truth y J oh. 8. 44.

But Lucifer intended, by that means, to be above God, none could domineer and rule (o terri- bly as himielf, all rauft (loop to him -, he would with his fpirit in the whole Deity, Rule as a power- full King over all; being he was the faireft and bem- tiful/eft, he would needs alfo be the moft Potent. 4 10. But hefaw and knew very well the meek andhu-nble Being, in God his Farher: moreover he knew alio very well3 that it ftood in fuch meekneffe from eternity, and that he alfo fhould generate in fuch meekneffe, as a loving and obedient Sonne.

Now when thefe Evil Devillifli Spirits [un- dcrftand the Center of the Genitrix.*] moved or boy- led in Gods Saliner, and Imagined Speculated or roved thereinto, then there was nothing but (tinging, burning, murthering,Robbing, and a meer Opposite or contrary will.
14. For the Heart of God delighted in Love and meekneße-, and Lucifer would needs turn the fame by force into a Raging Tyranny: And fo there was no- thing but Emnity and a contrary or Oppofite will; for by force he kindled the Saliner of God, whi^h •had refied from Eternity and ftood in its Meeknefle.
