• Some certain, hidden, or vailed spiritual Verities revealed, &c.
  • Query 1. WHat is God really in himself, without any definiti∣on? And in what did he dwell, and manifest himself before the foundation of the Heavens and the Earth was laid?
  • Qu. 2. Whether is there a manifestation of God in every thing that hath a life, motion and being, in this outward Creation? And whether is a Creature to expect ever to know God under any other Dispensation or Administration, further then by the manifestation of the Spirit of God in him, which is given to, &c.?
  • Qu. 3. Whether are the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Man, and the Spirit of the Devil, three distinct Spirits?
  • Qu. 4. Whether be they essentially impregnated in man? If so, When, and after what manner were the said Spirits infused into him?
  • Query. 5. What is the Spirit of man in it self? Is it natural, yea or nay? Is it mortal or immortal? And whether hath it a Be∣ing distinct from the body (when expired?) If so, how, and where, clearly demonstrate.
  • Query 9. What, and where is that Heaven in which it's said God doth dwell? Is it above the Firmament, or must a Creature wait to know it manifest in him, and not otherwise?
  • Query 10. What is Hell? and where is it? Is it a certain lo∣cal place? or that, which through the creatures disobedience, is mani∣fested in him; and that there is no other?
  • Query 11. What is it in man that must be made sensible of the joy of the one, through obedience, or the torment of the other through disobedience, since what God hath loved, he loves to the end, and the Earth must return to the Earth, and the Spirit to him that gave it.
  • Query 12. What is that City that hath no need of the light of the Sun, nor the Moon to shine in it, &c.? And where is its stua∣tion? And what is that honor and glory, which the Kings of the Earth must bring into it? And in what manner must they perform it? Also, how, and when shall they that are saved, be made inhabi∣tants of it.
  • Query 13. What are the Chains in which the Angels (who kept not their first estate) are reserved under darkness unto the Judgement of the great Day? And where is the place of their confinement? And what is the great Day, and the Judgement? We pray you plainly de∣monstrate.
