11 . And that there should go nothing in Vain out of the Substance of God, therefore God created Beasts, Fowls, Fishes, Worms, Trees and Herbs out of all Essences; and besides [created] also figured Spirits out of the Quinta Essentia, in the Elements, that so, after the completing of the Time (when the OutBirth [shall] go into the Ether) they should appear before him, and that his eternal Wisdom in his Works of Wonder might he known. 12. But seeing it was his Will also in this Throne, in the eternal Element, to have Creatures that should be instead of the m The one pure Element. n Kindness. o The eternal one Element. fallen Devils, and possess the Place [of them] in the Heaven in Paradise, therefore he created Man out of the o Element. 13. And as this Place was now twofold, and p with the eternal Originality threefold, viz. [having] the first Principle in the great Anxiety, and the second Principle in the divine Habitation in Paradise, and then the third Principle in the Light of the Sun, in the Quality of the Stars and Elements, so must Man also be created out of all three, if he must be an Angel in this Place, and receive all Knowledge and Understanding, whereby he might have eternal Joy also with [or in] the Figures and Images, which stand not in the eternal Spirit, but in the eternal Figure, as all Things in this World are [to do.] 14. And there God manifests himself according to his eternal Will, in his eternal Wisdom of the noble Virgin, in the Element, which in Paradise stands in the Sharpness of the divine Virtue [or Power.] And the Fiat created Man out of the Element in Paradise, for it attracted to it out of the Quintessence of the Sun, Stars, and Elements in Paradise in the Elements of the Originality, from whence the four Elements proceed, and created Man to the Image of God (that is, to the Similitude of God) and breathed into him into the Element of the Body (which yet was nothing else but paradisical Virtue) the Spirit of the eternal Essences out of the eternal Originality; and there Man became a living Soul, and an Image of God in Paradise. 15. And the Wisdom of God, the pleasant Virgin, q discovered herself in him, and with the Discovering opened Adam’s Center, in [or to] many thousand Thousands, which should proceed out of this Fountain of this Image; and the noble Virgin of the Wisdom and Virtue [or Power] of God, was espoused [or contracted] to him, that he should be modest and wholly chaste to his Virgin, and let no Desire in the first, nor in the third Principles, to qualify [mix with] or live therein, but his Inclination
or Longing must be to get into the Heart of God, and to eat of the r Verbum Domini [of the Word of the Lord] in all the Fruits of this World. 16. For the Fruits were also good, and their Inclination [or that which made them to be desired] proceeded out of the inward Element, out of the s Paradise. Now Adam could eat of every Fruit in the Mouth, but not t in the Corruptibility, that must not be, for his Body must subsist eternally, and continue in Paradise, p Or in. q Shone forth, or appeared. r The Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God. s The divine Habitation. t Or in the Stomach or Maw, where the Meat turns to corrupt Dung. and generate a chaste Virgin out of himself, like himself, without rending of his Body; for this could be, seeing his Body was [proceeded] out of the heavenly Element, out of the Virtue of God. 17. But when the chaste Virgin found herself thus in Adam with great Wisdom, Meekness, and Humility, then the outward Elements became lusting after the eternal, that they might u raise themselves up in the chaste Virgin, and x qualify in her; seeing that Adam was extracted out of them, [viz. the four Elements,] out of the Quinta Essentia, therefore they desired their own, and would qualify therein, which yet God did forbid to Adam, [saying,] that he should not eat of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but live in [the] one [only Element,] and be contented with Paradise. 18. But the Spirit of the great World overcame Adam, and put itself in with Force, in Quintam Essentiam, [into the Quintessence,] which there, is the fifth Form, the Extract out of the four Elements and Stars; and there must God create a Woman [or Wife] for Adam out of his Essences, if he must be to fill the Kingdom, according to the Appearing [Discovering, Shining, or Sparkling] of the noble Virgin [with many thousand Thousands,] and build [or propagate] the same. And thus Man became earthly, and the Virgin departed from him in Paradise; and there she warned [called and told] him that he should lay off the Earthliness, and then she would be his Bride and loving Spouse. And now it cannot be otherwise in this World with Man, he must be y generated in the Virtue of the outward Constellation and Elements, and live therein till the Earthliness falls away. 19. And thus he is in this Life threefold, and the threefold Spirit hangs on him, and he is generated therein, neither can he be rid of it, except he [corrupts or] breaks to Pieces; yet he can be rid of Paradise, whensoever his Spirit imagines in the Fierceness [or Wrath] and Falshood, and gives up himself thereto, that so he might be above Meekness and Righteousness in himself, as a Lord, like Lucifer, [and] live in Pride [and Stateliness;]
