Of FATHER; Number 9. 178. Number 9. there standeth before the Angle or Point of the Cross, FATHER, and before that the Abysse, signifying the Mystery of the Father without or besides Nature: for with the † Angle of the Cross Nature beginneth. The
first and Greatest Mystery is the Abysse, where the Nothing introduceth it self into a will, which is called FATHER, or the Original to somewhat: Out of the My∣stery of the Father is the Creation, through Nature, originated: A Man is here to understand the Eternal Nature, with its Se∣ven Forms, with or by this Mystery.
Soul; Numb. 10. 179. At the Angle or Point of the line, standeth Soul, Number 10. signifying the Original of the Eternal Spirits, viz. Angels & Souls of Men: the Angle or Point, signifieth the Center in Nature, where the Threefold Spi∣rit revealeth or manifests it self with or by Nature, signifying the Magick Fire, in the Fathers Property, out of which the An∣gels have their Original, as also the Souls of Men.
180. A man should here understand the Ground and Original of an Eternal Spi∣rit, for nothing is Eternal, unless it hath its orsginal out of the Eternal Magick Fire. This Original is not understood to be the true or right Spirit, but to be the Center, viz: the Cause of the Spirit.
Souls Will; Numb. 11. 181. Every true or right Spirit is under∣stood with the understanding in the Light of Life: for in the Fire there can be no right or true understanding, but in the de∣sire of the Light. Therefore must the fiery Will turn it self to the Heart of God, viz. to the Power or Vertue of the Light and understanding, as here is to be seen, where, upon the line of the Cross standeth the Souls Will, marked with Number 11, and there it receiveth Power and Vertue from the Heart of God, and is generated or born an Understanding Spirit.
Will, Numb, 12. and Soul N, umb. 13. 182. For it receiveth the Power or Ver∣tue of the Light, in the Meekness and Hu∣mility, and goeth with its Will-Spirit, viz. with the noble or pretious Image & Simi∣litude of God, through the Power or Ver∣tue of the Heart, into the second Princi∣ciple, viz. into the Light World, as here at the right beyond the Heart in the other or second Circle is to be seen, where stand∣eth Will Number 12. and then Soul Number 13. signifying, how the Soul out of the
fires source or quality out of the Fathers Property, entereth into the Sons Power or Vertue and Property, and dwelleth in the Divine Power or Vertue in the Light∣world.
HOLY SPIRIT, Numb. 14. 183. Without or beyond the Angle or † Point of the Cross, stand∣eth HOLY SPIRIT, Number 14. signifying the holy Spirit, which from Eternity originat∣eth in the Will of the Father at the left at the Angle or Point, Number 9. and bringeth it self through Nature, through the Heart and Divine Power or Vertue at the right without or beyond Nature; also through the Angels or Souls-Spirits, Pow∣er or Vertue, forth, and dwelleth in the Liberty in the Glance of the Power or Ver∣tue and Majesty, and is in Nature, yet of Nature unapprehended, but only in the Divine Power or Vertues Property.
Image, Numb. 15. 184. Beyond the word HOLY SPIRIT, Number 15. standeth Image, also without
or beyond Nature, signifying that the no∣ble or pretious Image sprouteth forth out of the Souls Fire, as a Blossome or Flower out of the Earth, and hath no feeling or sense of the Pain of the fiery Property; for the Fire standeth in it as it were swal∣owed up, and yet it is there but in ano∣ther source or fountain quality, viz. a de∣sire of Love, a light-flaming Fire in Divine Property.
Abysse, Numb. 16. 185. Beyond Image, standeth Abysse, Num∣ber 16. signifying; that the right true Image standeth in the Abysse, without or beyond all source or pain, and dwelleth in Nothing, but only in it self, & with or through it, GOD. Therefore there is Nothing that can find touch or break it, but only the Divine Power or Vertue; for it standeth not in Nature, although indeed, with the Root it proceedeth from Nature, and yet it is another thing; as an Apple is another thing than the Tree, though it stand upon the Tree, and receive pow∣er
and vertue from the Tree, and yet the Sun giveth it also power and vertue: So also the Divine Sun, viz. the Majesty, gi∣veth the Image power and vertue.
Of the Word Omnipotence; Numb. 17. and Wrath; Numb. 18. 186. Further at the left standeth Number 17. Omnipotence; and it stand∣eth also without or beyond the † Circle, signifying the Fathers Mystery, which, with the Magia, viz. with the Desire, introduceth it self into the fierce Wrath, where then the strong loud∣sounding life, and strength, is understood in the entrance of Nature in the first Three Forms, viz. the astringent, bitter, and anguish, as the word Wrath standeth in the space under the † Line, Number 18. signifying that the fierce Wrath, doth not touch the Angle, or Point of the Number Three, but is generated or born in the Desire.
Craft; Numb. 19. 187. Under the word Omnipotence, Number 19. standeth Craft, signifying the Essence out of the Looking-Glass of the My∣stery: which Craft or Suttlety in the se∣cond Principle is changed into a right or rectified understanding, and here in the Magick Fire it is only Craft or cunning Suttlety, for it is accute or pointed and sharp, and a cause of the Understanding.
Devil; Numb. 20. 188. Over against it standeth, Devil, Number 20. in the space † of the Dark World, signifying the evilness malignity or ma∣lice of the Devil, in that he is gone away from the Angle or Point of the Num∣ber Three, and hath set or put his will into the fierce Wrath Craft or Suttlety, in willing there∣with to rule or lord it over God's Meek∣ness, and himself to use the strength and
might or potency of the Fire, and of the Fierce-wrath.
Devils Art; Numb. 21, 22. 189. Under the word Craft, standeth Devils : : : : : Art, Number 21, 22. De∣vils, standeth without the Cir∣cle of Nature; and Art, stand∣eth within the Circle of Na∣ture; signifying, that the Devil was crea∣ted, as well out of the Mystery of the Fa∣ther, upon the Line or † Stroak of the Cross in the Eternal Nature as the other Angels. But he hath framed or created to himself his Art, Number 22. in the magick seeking of Na∣ture in the Center of the dark World, whereas yet he should have gotten framed or created it in God's Heart and Power or Vertue, and that is his Cause of his Fall and of his Envy, or Hatred and Ma∣lice.
Will; Numb. 23. 190. Above the † Line, Num∣ber 23. standeth, Will, signi∣fying, that the Devil hath
hath swung himself aloft above the Divine Line, upon or in which he was created as a proud or haughty stately Spirit, that would himself have been Lord, and have gover∣ned in own Self, Art and Wit.
Darkness, Numb. 24. 191. As now at present, the pride or state and haughtiness, and cunning suttle Policy and Prudence of Men doth, which swingeth it self also thus, from the Line of God, up into own self, wherein it cannot reach or attain the Divine Power or Ver∣tue and Light within, but falleth in it self into the Dark anguishing Magick Fire, as above the word Will is marked Number 24.
First into Darkness; for Reason loseth the Divine Understanding and Desire, wherein it can take hold of and receive God's Substance, and so impregnate it self with Power and Vertue out of or from God.
Fire, Numb. 25. 192. And then the Magick Fire o of Cove∣tousness, kindleth it self, in that it willeth to have much, and
yet hath not enough; as here Number 25.
Anguish, Numb. 26. 193. And when it hath filled it self with Covetousness, then beginneth the Magick Fire in the Anguish, Number 26. to burn. For that which is brought in by the Cove∣tousness, and laden the fire with, is the Magick Fires wood or fewel wherein it burneth: and there is Death generated or born; which must separate what the Cove∣tousness hath laid in.
Death, Numb. 27. 194. And here is also the o heavy Fall of Adam, who imagined as the Devil did, and desired the multiplicity of this world for his own; he would be wise or suttle and prudent, and get much Wit or crafty Inge∣nuity, and also the earthly & hellish source or fountain quality in the wit. Had he re∣mained upon the Stroak or Arm in God's Line, then he had not become earthly; for his will-spirit had dwelt in God, and had introduced Divine food into the Body; but now he standeth in the Anguish, Number 26, and must again go through the Princi∣ple, into Death, Number 27, where his
Body must in the Mystery, be consumed.
195. And if he hath not in this time, converted his will into the Cross of Christ, as in this Figure is to be seen, then is he in the Mystery reserved to the Judgement of God, and there he shall be tryed in the Fire whether his will-spirit hath Divine Power and Vertue in it or not, or whether he can subsist in the Fire: And there the proud stately or haughty earthly works will be burned away from him, and the soul will remain in the dark Magick Will-Fire, for it self is also a Magick Fire, when the Di∣vine Light-Fire is not in it: and so now one Magick Fire layeth hold of another, out of which there is no remedy to help.
Will, Numb. 28. Light, Numb. 29. Spi∣rit, Numb. 30. Man, Numb. 31. 196. But that Soul which hath in this time converted again, and hath with its will given up it self into the Death of Christ on the Line of the Cross, Number 27. that soul is sunk down from its proud or haughty evil works, and is as to them will∣less, or free from willing, and is entered into the Death of Christ, and sprouteth forth with the Will-spirit, Number 28.
through the second Principle in the Divine Power and Vertue, out of the Death of Christ, where then the Will-Spirit, viz. the Image, attaineth again the Divine Light, Number 29. and the Image stand∣eth, Number 30. again in the Divine Man, Number 31.
Image, Numb. 32. God, Numb. 33. 197. For when the Will Spirit entereth into Death upon the Cross, then it draweth again Divine Substantiality, viz. Christ's Flesh to it self, and bringeth the same with it self into the Light into the Light world, there the Divine Life sprouteth again into the holy Body, and the Image standeth free again. As here Number 32. is to be seen, and dwelleth in God, Number 33. and eat∣eth of God's Word or Substance; for the Image is here without or beyond Nature in the Liberty; but the Humanity is within Nature, as is described.
198. But as to those Souls which stick in their proud or stately and haughty covetous Works in the Anguish, Number 26. they stick indeed in the Magick Anguish-Fire, and their works are wood, or fuel, to or for the Fire.
199. But if the Will-spirit do yet turn in
it self a little into the Death of Christ, and yet also is fast bound to the fierce Wrath, that soul hangeth as by a thred to the Death of Christ.
The Ninth Number, Numb. 34. 200. This Soul may well thus burn a while, till the Will-Spirit can enter into the Death of Christ, till its sydereal wood or fuel be burned up: when the earthly body dyeth, then must the Image bathe: which the present too wise and subtle world contemneth, but in Death doth find it by woful experience: There must this little sparkle, which hangeth only by a thred, wind it self into the Death of Christ; for it hath lost body and substance, and stan∣deth naked and bare without Divine Sub∣stance or Body in God's Mercy or Compas∣sion in the Divine Tincture, viz. in the Ninth Number, Number 34. and waiteth for the last Judgment; wherein God will in the Tincture, bring and restore again whatsoever Adam lost; but its here-acted works, will not go or pass through the Fire, but the dark Magick Fire, hath swallowed them up into its Mystery into the Dark World; Let this be said to thee, O Man.
Souls Eternal Habitation, Numb. 35. 201. After Ninth Number, standeth the Souls Eternal Habitation, Number 35. sig∣nifying, that these escaped Souls are not∣withstanding in God, in the Angelical World, but without their works, and can∣not so highly attain the Glance or Lustre of the Majesty, as those Souls which have here cloathed themselves with God's Pow∣er and Vertue. The word Habitation go∣eth into the Liberty without or beyond Na∣ture, as also above, Image, doth; for the Soul must stand in Nature; but the Images Habitation is without or beyond Nature in the Divine Liberty.
Angelical World, Numb. 36. 202. Without or beyond this Habitation, stan∣deth the Angelical World, Number 36. sig∣nifying the Angels Courts and Quires, or Princely Thrones, in the Liberty of the Divine Majesty, where yet their root also standeth IN Nature, but is not apprehen∣ded.
Proud Devil, Numb. 37. Will of the Devil Lucifer, Numb. 38. 203. At the left in the upper space, Number 37. standeth Proud Devil, or stubborn Devil, with two † Lines, one reaching up upon the Character or Letter O, Number 4. and the other reaching up above the Great Mystery of the Number Three, where standeth Will of the Devil Lucifer, Number 38.
204. Here is the Devils Fall to be con∣sidered, he hath brought his proud or stub∣born Will up from the Line or Stroak of the Cross, aloft, and hath willed to rule over or above the Mystery of the Divine Wisdom, in wit and cunning, suttlety and fierce wrath in the Fires might or power, and to kindle the Mystery of the Number Three, that he might be Lord: As indeed he then kindled the Substantiality in the Mystery; whence Earth and Stones have come to be, and hath willed to fly out above the Mystery of the Number Three, Num∣ber
38. as still at this day he desireth to fly out above the Angelical Princes-Thrones.
Abysse of the Dark World, Number 39. Eternal Hell of Devils, Number, 40. 205. And upon this hath followed his thrusting out from the Divine Mystery, so that he is Thrust out from the Superiour Thrones into the Dark Magick fire, and is Thrust down below, that is, into the Abysse of the Dark world; For he must dwell externally without the Principle in the Fire-crack, viz. in the first Three Forms to Fire in the Anguish, there he hath his Hell as below at Number 40. is to be seen, and thereinto also the Damned souls fall back, so that Eternally they cannot see or behold God.
The second Cross Line upwards thus † 206. Over the line Number 1. above aloft, standeth, Abysse, Eternity, signifying the Liberty, without or beyond the Principle; and thereby is understood the Mystery of the Eternity, wherein every Creature standeth in its source or fountain Quality, in its own Fire, be it in Darkness or Light, and hath therein no other Light than shin∣eth
within it, which light also it apprehend∣eth Externally without it self; there are Both worlds, viz. the Light-world, and Dark-world, are there in one another. But the Light becometh not attained, unless a creature be capable of it.
207. There are Angelical Thrones, which we know nothing of Experimentally, our knowledge reacheth but only into the Extent of the Place of this world, so far as the kindling in the Creation reached, and of THAT is this † wheel made with the Cross.
SON, Numb. 41. and of the Heart. 208. Above the upright Line, standeth SON, and at the Left Angle or Point, Number 9. FATHER, and at the Right Line, Number 14. HOLY SPIRIT, signifying the Birth or Geniture, and Persons of the Holy Trinity. The Heart in the Cross is the Center, and ♡ signifyeth the Eternal Band of the † Ternary.
209. The Word SON, Number 41. signifieth the WORD, which the Eternal FATHER, continually and from Eternity, speaketh in the Light and Dark world, according to each worlds source or fountain Qua∣lity or Property.
210. But in that the Three Persons at the Cross are free, and touch not the Line, it signifieth that God is free from Nature, and not † in the apprehension of Nature, but he dwelleth in himself, indeed in Nature, but unapprehended, by that which doth not give up it self into Him.
Of the Heart in the Cross. 211. The Heart in the Cross signifieth, that God's Heart hath manifested it self in Na∣ture, by or with the Principle of the Fire, whence the Majestick Light originateth. Secondly, It signifieth the Manifestation or Revelation in the Humanity, wherein God's Heart hath manifested it self by or with a Humane Heart, and how that Hu∣mane Heart hath attained the comprehen∣sion of the Holy Trinity. As indeed it is the Center in the Cross, by which a Man
is to understand the Inward Man, viz. the Inward Heart.
212. And you see, that the HOLY SPIRIT at the Right, on or in the Line, and at Number 14. goeth forth from the Heart into the Light World, signifying that the Holy Spirit, dwelleth in the Re∣generate or New born Heart, viz. in the Image, and continually introduceth the Images Will into the Divine Light-world. And as this Heart in the Cross is united with the Holy Ternary; so must the Hu∣mane Heart, understand the Inward-Man, be united with the Deity: that God may be in it, All in All, its Will and Deed.
213. But that the word SON, Num∣ber 41. above the Cross Line a loft stand∣eth distinguished from the Heart, signifieth that the Man Christ is become Lord over all, and is the King over this † Circle: for, God hath manifested himself in the Humanity, and this Man compriseth the whole Divine Substance in himself, for within him and Externally without him is one and the same fulness, One God and Divine Substance: there is no other place, where we can be able to apprehend God then in the Substance of
Christ, there is the whole fulness of the God∣head or Deity Bodily or Corporeally.
Heaven, Number, 42. 214. The Word, Heaven, on the up∣right Cross-line: Number 42. signifieth, that the Heaven is in the Man Christ, and also in us, and that we must through his Cross and Death go to him into his Heaven, which himself is; for on the Cross is Hea∣ven become opened to us again, or New∣born and Regenerated to us. Secondly, It signifieth that the right or true Divine Heaven is an Habitation of the Divine De∣sire, viz. of the Divine Magia; therefore it is called not aningoing, but an ingene∣ration of God's Fire, into Divine Substan∣tiality, and that even only on the Cross, viz. through and in the Birth or Geniture of the Holy † Tri∣nity.
Pure Element, Number, 34. 215. The word, Pure Element, on the Crosse's upper Line, Number 43. signifieth the in∣ward world, out of which this outward, with the Four Elements, is become gene∣rated forth, and standeth in the Inward
Root in the Substance thereof.
Holy Spirit, Num. 44. Son, Num. 45. 216. Moreover it is to be observed ex∣actly, how the Words stand, begin and end, for they begin on the outward {inverted †} Circle at the Left, where above Num∣ber 5. the Holy Spirits Character or Letter V. standeth; and beneath Number 8. Substance, and goeth through the two Circles at the Right, even into the second Space, which signifieth the Pure Divine Elements Original, its in∣dwelling and Substance, whence it Origi∣nateth, viz. from the Spirit of the Eter∣nal Mystery in the Divine Substantiality, viz. in the Substance of the Great Myste∣ry, and yet is only manifest or revealed in the second Principle, viz. in the Sub∣stance of the Son and Holy Spirit, as above one the Circle at the Right is to be seen, Num∣ber 44. and 45.
Father, Numb. 46. Holy Spirit of Di∣vine Wisdom and Understanding, Numb. 47. 217. The Pure Element is the working in the right true Heaven, and shutteth it self in and out with or by the Cross, it is the springing or flowing & moving in the Fire and Light-Heaven, from or by with the Divine Substantiality, understand Sub∣stance, and not the Spirit, of God, is a life for it reacheth not into the Substance of the Father, Number 46. where beneath on the Circle, standeth Divine Wit or Understand∣ing, for the Element giveth or affordeth not divine Wit, but the Holy Spirit, Num∣ber 47. giveth Divine apprehension, know∣ledge or skill and wit or understanding.
218. The Element is a Substance in re∣spect of the Deity; as the Life in the flesh is understood to be, in respect of the Soul; For the Tincture is higher, and giveth the ENS of the Spirit, wherein the Light-Fire is understood.
Humanity, Flesh, Numb. 48. 219. Under the word, Pure Element
standeth at Number 27. on the stroak of the upper Line of the Cross, Death, and the word begin∣neth laying hold on the left Circle, and go∣eth through the Cross through the first right Circle: There observe both the outward Circles at the left and at the right, above and beneath, and then thou wilt soon find, what the right or authority of Death is, and how it is the dying source or fountain qua∣lity in the Magick Fire, and holdeth the Substantiality captive in itself; as at the left beneath at Number 8. & at the right, beneath at Number 4. 8. is to be seen; and then above on the same Circle at Number 44. and at the left above, at Number 5. there a man seeth, how the spiritual Life goeth and sprouteth forth through the Death, and possesseth the highest † Circle: For all whatsoever willeth to reach or attain the Di∣vine Life, must go through the Dying Ma∣gick Fire, and stand or subsist therein; as the Heart on the Cross must and doth stand or subsist in the Fire of God.
220. Further it is to be known, that we in A∣dam have turned our selves away from the Cross, and are with the Desire of Lust or Pleasure, gone with our will above the Cross at Number 23. into an Own self Rule or Government; and now Death hath captivated us in it self, therefore we must now sink down out of Death on the Cross at the Line of Christ again into the Heart, and become new born or regene∣rate in the Heart, else Death holds us cap∣tive in it self. For now Death standeth on the Cross-Line: but at the Judgement it shall be given to the Dark World: For our Will must now enter through Death on the Cross, into Rest; but the outward Cross shall be taken away; and then Death is a spectacle or scorn and derision.
221. Thirdly, it signifieth that the Life of God in Christ, bare * Death as a shew or spe∣ctacle of Triumph on the Cross, when Death became broken on the Cross in the dying of Christ, where the Life sprouted through Death, and the Heart gave up or yeelded it self into the middle, viz. into the Center, as † victorious Lord or Conquerour of Death.
Paradise, Numb. 49. 222. Under the Heart at Number 49. stand∣eth Paradise; the Word beginneth at the left on the outward Circle, where above at Number 5. is marked, the Spirit of the Great Mystery of the Profundity or un∣searchableness of Eternity, viz. V. and it goeth through the Cross at the right, through all the Three Circles, even into the Liberty: this signifieth the consti∣tution or existence of Paradise; it origina∣teth in the Mystery of the Eternity, and prouteth through the outward, and also hrough the Light World, hidden in the outward World, and manifested or revea∣led in the second Principle, in the Light World, as therefore the World penetra∣teth through all the Three Circles, shew∣ing the humane Bodies original.
Divine Substantiality, Numb. 50. 223. For in or at this place, out of this substance, Adams Body (understand the outward Body) was created according to the Third Principle, and the inward Body, (understand the Images Body) out of the
Divine Substantiality, as at the right, near Paradise, is marked with Number 50.
Christ, Flesh, Numb. 51, 52. 224. That very Divine Substance, un∣derstand Substance, not Spirit, is included in the Wisdom of God; and therein is the heavenly Tin∣cture: For God's Word that became Man, brought this Substance into Mary, into her in Death inclosed Substantiality, viz. into the Images Body, and thereby God and Man became One Person.
225. For this Flesh is Christs Flesh, ac∣cording to the Heavenly part; therefore beyond Substantiality, standeth, Christ's, Flesh, Number 51, 52. Christ bare such Flesh in the Inward Man, as Adam had be∣fore his Eve was, when he stood in the Di∣vine Image in Purity. Therefore can no Man go into Paradise, unless he attain that Flesh again, that Adam had before the Fall, and Christ attained in the becoming Man or Incarnation. Therefore must we all become born out of the Heart upon the Cross, and put on Christ.
Mystery, Numb, 53. 226. Under Paradise, Number 53. stan∣deth Mysterium, Mystery, and the word beginneth at the left in the second † Circle, where above on the same † Circle, Number 4. the Cha∣racter or Letter, O, standeth, and beneath Principle, and Fire, Number 7. and goeth to the right, through the Cross, through the first † Circle at the right. This signifieth rightly and exactly Mans Creation accor∣ding to the Body.
227. For the Body, is a Mystery, taken out of the inward and outward World, from above and from beneath, understand out of the Earths Matrix; This is the Earths Matrix; out of this Mystery was it crea∣ted, and a Man seeth how it was created out of the inward and outward Substance, viz. out of the dark and light World, and is mixt with evil, viz. with fierce-wrath, and also with Good.
Wonder, Numb. 54. Angel, Numb. 55. Spirit, Numb. 56. 228. But Man was out of the Mystery
created, an Image and Similitude of or according to God, to or for God's Wonder; Therefore at the right, Number 54. stand∣eth Wonder. For he was a Wonder of all things or Substances, a Lord of All things or Substances, taken out of all things or Substances, and was in the Inward Image, an Angel. As next Wonder, in the Liberty, standeth Angel, Numb. 55. For his Spirit dwelleth in the Liberty of God, viz. in the Majesty, as beyond the word Angel, Number 56. Spirit standeth. Which all, sig∣nifieth, the right or true Man, viz. the First before the Fall, and the second in Christ, into which he must enter again, or is rent or separated from God.
Four Elements, Numb. 57. 229. Under Mystery, Number 55. standeth Four Elements; they begin at the left, on the outward- Circle, and go to the right through the Cross, through † two Circles; signifying the outward World, which ori∣ginateth as an Out-birth out of the inward Substance on the outward Circle, and bringeth its Won∣ders
into the Mystery, first into the second Principle, into the first two Circles; for they shall not go with their Substance in∣to the Liberty, through the † Third Circle at the Right, but pass in the Principle into the Mystery, and in the Principle be tryed or purged in the Fire. For there is the Limit of Separation.
The Souls Joy, in Ternario Sancto, Number, 58. 230. Above on the second Circle at the Right Number 45. standeth Son, the same is the Judge and Separator, and beneath on the same Circle, Number 58. standeth Souls Joy in Ternario Sancto, in the Holy Ternary, signifying, that the Soul shall have joy in its works, which it hath wrought in the Four Elements, to the Praise and Glory of God, which it hath in∣troduced into the Angelical World into
the Mystery. For the Four Elements stand, with their Root in the Great Mystery.
231. And were the Earth not come in∣to such a perished Condition, and that the Devils Poyson and kindling or inflamati∣on, had not been done, it were still one and the same Substance with or in the other Three Elements, as indeed it is now, in the Heavenly Substance.
Spiritual Bodies Habitation, Num. 59. 232. This Bit, hath Adam swallowed down into himself, and thereby Lost his Angels Form. For the Four Elements should stand hidden in him, and he should live only in the One Element, in Gods Power and Vertue, and know or experiment no∣thing of the Evil: As at the Right, in the Liberty, Number 59. standeth, the Spiri∣tual Mans Habitation, there should the I∣mages Body dwell, viz. the Souls Body, but that became hindred from it; it must now under the Earth, and become includ∣ed or shut up in the Earthliness.
Earth, Number 60. 233. Under the Four Elements, stand∣eth Earth, Number 60. signifying that the Earth is wholly fallen back to the Inner
World. For the word touch∣eth neither the † Left nor the Right Circle, it is as a Death, but the Cross goeth through it, signifying its Restauration, or bringing again to what it was, that the Humane Earth is new-Born or Regenera∣ted on the Cross, and that the Heavenly and Divine Substance, shall be severed from the Dark worlds Substance, through the Fire of God, where then shall be new Earth in a Heavenly Source or Fountain Quality, Form, Essence and Property, and that which is hidden in the Earth, in the Heavenly Part, shall sprout or spring again. Further is to be Considered, that the Earth standeth thus upon or in the A∣bysse, for it reacheth no Principle, there∣fore it must pass away, or vanish.
Earthly Man, Numb. 61. 234. Underneath standeth Number, 61. Earthly Man, where the Cross goeth through the midst of the Word, which sig∣nifieth the fallen Earthly Man, who is fallen under and into the Earth, that is, he is fallen home or back to the Earth, and the Cross parteth or separateth the words,
Earthly and Man; for Man shall again become separated from the Earth, and en∣ter into his Eternal Part, either into the Light or Dark world.
Wonder, Number 62. 235. Under the Cross Line standeth Number 62. Wonder, sig∣nifying that the evil † Wonder, also the Evil part of the Earth, shall in the Judgement of God, when God will make separation; fall home or back to the Abysse of Dark∣ness, and that shall be to All Devils and Evil Men their Earth, on which they shall dwell one among another, for the Abysse standeth under it below, at Number 1.
Babel, Number 63. 236. Near Wonder standeth Babel, Num∣ber 63. signifying, how Babel is only a Wonder of the Abysse, and worketh only Wonders in the Abysse.
Own Reason in Babel, Numb. 64. 237. Further, above under the † Circle at the Right, after Earth∣ly Man, Number 64. stand∣eth Own or self Reason in
Babel, which goeth round about the out∣side of the Circle of the Second Principle, and goeth in own self Authority under the Divine World, backward, and supposeth She is in God, and serveth or worshippeth him, but is without God in self, She or it Teacheth, and doth only its own Things or Matters for it self, for its own Ends, it Ruleth the outward world in own self Reason, without Gods Spirit and Will, on∣ly according to its own Will. Therefore it goeth about the Light world, dissembling in Hypocrisie, and giveth God good Words, and continueth only without God, upon or in the Abysse, and thereinto also it falleth back and entereth.
