t The appearing or Flash. the swelled [or impregnated] Will) and it brings the Essences (or the Attracting) of the Willing again out of the Will, before the Will; for the Desiring draws forth the Swelling [or Impregnation] out of the swelled [or impregnated] Will, before the Will; and that [which is] drawn forth is the pleasant Virtue, u Joy, and Meekness. And this now is the Desiring of the eternal Will (and no more) but to eat and to draw again this Virtue into it, and to be satiated therewith, and [it can] desire nothing higher or more x refreshing: for therein is the Perfection [or Fulness] of the highest x Joy and Meekness. 73. And so in this Virtue (which is in God the Father, as is before mentioned) stands the Omniscience of what is in the Originality in the Eternity; where the Flash then y discovers itself in many thousand Thousands z without Number. For this Virtue of Joy in the [Refreshment or] Habitation, is proceeded from the Sharpness of the Flash, and (in the Sharpness of the Omnipotence over the Darkness) sees [or looks] again in the eternal Sharpness in the dark Mind; and that Mind inclines itself to the Virtue, and desires the Virtue, and the Virtue goes not back again in the Darkness, but a beholds itself therein, from whence [it is] that the eternal Mind is continually longing [panting or lusting] after the Virtue [or Power;] and the Virtue is the Sharpness, and the Sharpness is the Attracting. This is called the b eternal Fiat, which there creates and corporizes what the eternal Will in the almighty Meekness, (which there is the Might and the Breaking [or Destroyer] of the Darkness, and the Building of the Principle,) and what the Will in the eternal [Skill or] Knowledge discovers, and in itself conceives [apprehends, or purposes] to do. And whatsoever gives itself up to the Meekness, that will the Will create by the sharp Fiat which is the eternal Essence. And this now is the Will of God, whatsoever inclines itself to him, and desires him, that same will create in the Meekness; even all whatsoever (out of the many thousand Thousands, out of the Infinity) inclines itself in c its Virtue to him. 74. Now thus the Infinity has the Possibility, while it is yet in the first Essence [or Substance,] that it can d incline itself to him; but here you must not understand it any more concerning the Whole, for God only is the Whole [totum universale] the great Deep all over; but this [which is] in the Infinity, is divided; and u Habitation. x Habitation. y Or sparkles into. z Infinitely. a As the Sun does in the Water. b Note. c Or his. d Enter into Resignation. it is in the appearing [Flash or Sparkling] of the Plurality [or
Multiplicity,] where the Whole, in and through himself in the eternal impregnated Darkness, [sparkles, or] discovers itself in infinitum, [or infinitely.] This Discovery, [or e these Sparklings,] stand altogether in the Originality of the Fireflash, and may again, in the impregnated Darkness, (viz. in the f cold Sourness, and in the Flash of the Fire) discover [flash or sparkle,] and g give up themselves, or again conceive a Will out of the Darkness, to go out of the Anxiety of the Mind (through the Sharpness in the Flash) h in the Meekness, to God. 75. For the Sharpness in the Flash is always the Centrum [or Center] to the Regeneration in the second Principle; to which now the Worm in the Spark inclines [or unites] to generate itself [in,] whether it be in the eternal cold out of the sharp Essence through the Flash in the Fierceness [or Sternness] of the Fire, or out of the Sharpness in the Regeneration of the Meekness to God; therein it stands, and there is no i Recovery [back from thence.] For the Meekness goes not back again into the dark, fierce, and cold Essence, in the first Attracting, which from Eternity is before the recomprehended [or reconceived] Will; but it comes to help that [Darkness,] and enlightens whatsoever comes to it out of the strong Might of God, and this lives in the Virtue, and in the light Eternity with God. 76. And the Deep of the Darkness is as great as the Habitation of the Light; and they stand not one distant from the other, but together in one another, and neither of them has Beginning or End; there is no Limit or Place, but the sharp Regeneration is the Mark [Bounds] or Limitation between these two Principles. 77. Neither of them is above or beneath, only the Regeneration out of the Darkness in the Meekness is said to be above; and there is such a [Bar or] k Firmament between them, that neither of them both does comprehend the one the other; for the [Bar or] Mark of Limitation is a whole Birth or Principle, and a firm Center, so that none of them both can go into the other, but [only] the sharp Fireflash, the strong Might of God, that stands in the Midst in the Center of the Regeneration, and that only looks into the Worm of the Darkness; and with its Terror in the Darkness makes the eternal anguishing Source, the Risingup in the Fire, which yet can reach nothing but only the Anguish, and in the Anguish the fierce [stern] Flash.
