Epistle V. (Book 5)

Beloved Brethren,

THe word of the Lord came unto me upon the seventeenth day being Munday at four a clock in the morning, and did command me to write: Addam I keep your state, though my intention is another name, and thing; but for your dispute and contest, here is satisfaction, that God hath been pleased to discover unto me. I beseech you minde, for this Mystery is not yet revealed to the sons of men. The Apostles themselves were ignorant in this Mystery, that you are ye think so perfect in: You shall see they knew it not, else they would have declared it, in some one place or other. Now you are so confi∣dent that every one knows it, but the wisdom of God is onely the confounding of man, and so to bring him unto himself: Now minde, Addam you say was man, so say I, with the woman, for know that a man is not a man without the woman; for they two are but one flesh nay one spirit, if they be once brought to be man: Now man being descended from his first principle which was God, know that the de∣sent must be sub under the ascent, and man is Gods descent: Now the very being created, was a fall, you cannot deny, for created must be the workmanship of the Creator, this cannot be denied: Now man was made, you hold man to be one man as we account, I say mul∣titudes of men, and women; for understand the distarings of the spi∣rit, for a million is to him but one; all that was, and is, and is to come, ••ea but one man: I let the Query lye in your own name Addam. Now his descent forth was a fall, but we must understand that state was hap∣py,

because innocent (minde I intreat) Now to be innocent is the state that God stated man in; Now knowledge is the fall, and I prove know∣ledge to be the restoration, thus weakness is mans accounted knowledge, but that that man accounts to be is not, for tis nothing, and nothing can∣not be knowledge, for God is all knowledge, and man as we account man no knowledge, for man is a vain thing, and a vain thing cannot be knowledge, but God is knowledge, and all things are in him: Now this point will open way to dispute, but I would bar it out, you will say, if all things are in him, why then sin is in God: I beseech you minde, sin is no∣thing, therefore not in him: thus, tis the invention in man, that is not in God, for as man is a desent from God, so there may be properly said to be desents from man; Now to be desents in man, it turns him from be∣ing God like, in his essential being, for God made him one, and he not content in being one he became multiplicity, but it was in imagination, and that overthrew him and us; for the wisdom of man is creating all∣ways false creatives, which is like God but 'tis not God, and yet sits in the seat of God, this is mans spirit, lift up by himself out of its cen∣ter: Now Addam in this first desent was happy, because innocent; Now how became he unhappy? in not being innocent, what was the cause he lost that state innocency? it was seeming knowledge, that was a false conception in the heart; what was the garden? it was God his command to be obeyed in love: Look well brethren, for Addam was no more then you are, if yea Be, minde that B, in that lies the mystery; The garden was not a place fenced in, but it was a com∣mand, that man ought to have obeyed, then it gave fruit that was life, but disobedience threw men out from the command, then man became a wanderer: Minde in your selves, how doth love tye you to obedience? how doth hate untye that that love hath tyed, judge ye. Now to finde this serpent, that deceived Eve, 'tis the Devil, turned into an An∣gel of light, it was no created thing that ticed Eve, neither was Eve ticed, but the man and woman are accounted one in that state, for the woman is the glory of the man; why Paul said so, and he and I know so; thus God made man and woman, not as that story saith, of a rib of the man, I deny that: Now you will say I deny the Scripture, I say no; First prove you that to be the Scripture, and then you are able to erect your sentence: but let me tell you both in the Old and New Testament, I see too much of the serpentine knowledge, invol∣ved in with the divine Truth; for where light in the intendant spirit was repealed, man by his wisdom would connex, and so on to make his nothing somthing, and indeed by so doing, hath indeavored to make that that was not, to be: Now what is the woman intended in that state, 'tis the creation of God, what is the man, 'tis Christ, that is the true intendant as the Lord lives, and fancy what you will, till you come to this center, you are lost. Thus the creation of God is the

declaration of himself, in earthly voyces and semblances, or hierogly∣phicies temporal of the Deity celestial: Christ is the glory of God, the wisdom of God, the strength of God: Now God let down the crea∣tion by, and through, and in Christ, that is the strength of God con∣veyed through Christ into the creation, and by the same strength, that is Christ, will God restore his faln creation, and the creation restored is Christs Bride, and his glory, so the creation restored is the glory of the man, which is Christ, the Son of the living God: This is the true intent of the intention in that hieroglyphicie, in Addam and Hevah. But to come to the tractat declarative, declared, which is Addam and Eve: Addi sele localis in sem abbiuisse selemus abdi selat ori asabat arri: The Addam is Eve, and the Eve Addam, both one in flesh and spirit, in me their spirit and life: Ory sabie selat arri nedat merki allat maby sole∣mus abde s••gat ally penat ori apaet nedet me: The beginning was the fall, the end the restoration, the depth heighth, the heighth depth, God all, and in all things, for the essential being in things, is God declared in voyces, and semblances, and the creation created is Gods hieroglyph••∣ie: So now Addam and Hevah 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 that is her proper name, and her derevacie is from 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Heth, that is from God, Heth is Gods strength, Hevah is the created by God: Look into the state of them two Cha∣racters 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 in their hieroglyphicie, now look into their pronounciati∣ons, Heth, Hevah; Heth is one pronounciation, Hevah is two: Now if you could but understand them two Characters, they are the creation in God, for know God cannot be God, but by declared creatings, nor the creation in God, but by him in it, here is the mystery of mysteries, you cannot spake God but in the creation, and that creation is himself in himself, for he is the life and continuance, in his created by him in him, and to him: Minde and do not study disputes, for here is mat∣ter of minding, not of disputing; I beseech ye, that if any be dispu∣tive for Masteries, state your state, and I will answer in writing, or I will give the state in writing, and if you can answer, I shall submit to judgement.

Now the being made in innocency, how came they to be tempted? it was from within, for though the allurements are, as we think from without, 'tis within: Now as 'tis read God made the Serpent, 'tis ut∣terly false, for then he laid the snare, and who could escape, being he created all, and he put enmity betwixt the seed of the woman and the Serpent: Now what was this Serpent? his hieroglyphick was the beast, that was indued with wisdom, above any thing in the material creation, next under man, and he tempted the woman; and Moses said, that man that lieth with any beast shall be put to death, here is an out∣ward disobeying, produced from the false conception in the heart, for she tasted the forbidden fruit of knowledge, but the delusion was from within, in not obeying, and Addam he was tempted by her to act things

not convenient: So the creation became vain in their uninnocent actings: Still the Devil is within, that is the deceiving heart in man, is always hatching his own deformity: The Angels that fell, were the Light of God in our innocent state, eclipsed by our fall; for an Angel is light, light an Angel, this Angel in us is faln from to be restored to the center, they fell from, that is, into God by Jesus Christ, who is the Angel of the everlasting Covenant, he is Chogoas sola sol, he is the high alone rising Sun: Hezeche el parat attah esaboyne sabat allah occare, he is the beams illustrating Gods excellency in his full creations: Sabbah al, holy, or high holy, this is the Angel of the Covenant: Now an An∣gel is God, and the Sons of God are his Angels, that is, the Light of God in man, is Gods Angel in man: An Angel is refined man, or man unbodied or unvailed, for vailing is a fall, because tis not capable of the glory it dwelt in before imbodyed, or invailed and our Angels be∣hold his face in glory, this is an allusive speech to Peter, our Angel or his Angel: 'Tis thus, an Angel in Commission, then he can do what God doth please, as to destroy multitudes, but in his operative course, he is the convertor, and converfor with his fellow-Angels in us men and women: We are come unto the innumerable company of Angels, in rem sopience in the wisdom in the thing: O ovallo in samoas in sepe pauvisse sem allat ori deni potarum ablah solamus in so soollah abbi selorum agoaus a pater orbis selat appi sele oramus in ormoous in se sola: The vigor in the thing, is the life of the thing, and the thing is in it self one thing, and that one thing all things, and all Times, and Titles, and Tri∣umphes, and Trophies, and Conquests, Advantage, and Death, and Life, and Mortality, and Immortality and all things, and the thing nothing: This is the thing in things, and it self nothing, and out of that nothing all things came forth, this is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Heth God, Jesus, or Christ, that cannot fall or lessen, he is always the same; this is the true deri∣vacy from the tongues into English.
