CHAP. IV. Of the Will of God flowing OUT, and in the percepti∣bility IN again into the ONE.

JOhn 1. 11, &c. He came into [or unto] his own, &c. In which words lyeth the Divine Manifestation, viz. the hidden Power or speaking Word of the Unity, out-flown into his own the Creaturely Word, or averted Will of Flesh and Blood; which Self-power received not the Efflux of Divine Grace, but would be its own Self-lord, for it cannot inherit the Filiation.

But that Will which turneth it self about and coingenerateth with the Unity, hath Power to become the Child of God. For it is like or equal to all things which God willeth and worketh.
