sticks in the Midst in the Birth of all Creatures, viz. the Poison, [Venom,] or BrimstoneSpirit; as we see that all Creatures have Poison and Gall; and the Life of the Creatures sticks in the Power [or Might] of it, [the Poison;] as you may find before in this Book, in all the Chapters, how the eternal Nature takes its Original, how it works, and how, [or after what Manner,] its Essence [Being or Substance] is. 21. Now the Tree of the strong [Tartness or Wrath,] (which is in the Midst of Nature,) grew also in the Midst of the Garden of Eden; and was (according to the Ability of its own Form which it has from the eternal Quality in the Originality) the greatest and the mightiest [Tree.] And here it may be seen very clearly, that God would have preserved and had Man to be in o Imaged or imagined. p The Darkness, and Source, or Pain. d Mors. Paradise, for he forbade him this Tree, and caused other Fruit enough [besides] to grow in the Forms and Essences. The Gate of the Tempting. 22. St. Paul says; God foresaw [or elected] Man, before the Ground [or Foundation] of the World was laid: Here we find the Ground so very [plain or] fair, that we have a Delight to write on, and to seek the r Pearl. For behold, in the eternal Wisdom of God, before the Creation of the World, the Fall of the Devils, and also of Man, appeared in the eternal Matrix, and was seen. For the eternal Word in the eternal Light knew very well, that if it came to manifest the Fountain of the eternal Birth, that then every Form should break forth; yet it was not the Will of the Love in the Word of the Light, that the Forms of the tart [sour, strong Wrath] should elevate themselves above the Meekness; but it had such a mighty [or potent] Form, that it is so come to pass. 23. Therefore the Devil also, in Regard of the Might of the tart [strong fierce Wrath,] was called a Prince of this World in the [angry strong] Fierceness, of which you shall find [more] about the Fall. And therefore God created but one Man; for God would that Man should continue in Paradise, and live eternally; and on the contrary, the Sternness [or strong fierce Wrath] would tempt him, [to try] whether he would put his Imagination and Will wholly into the Heart of God, and into Paradise, wherein he was. 24. And because Adam was drawn forth out of the strong [stern, sour] Essences, therefore he must be tempted, [to try]
whether his Essences (out of which his Imagination and Lust proceeded) could stand in the heavenly Quality, or whether he would eat of the Verbum Domini, [the Word of the Lord;] and [to try] which Essence, (whether the paradisical, or the strong, [fierce, wrathful,] would overcome in Adam. 25. And this was the Purpose of God, therefore to create but one Man, that the same might be tempted, [and tried] how he would stand, and that upon his Fall he might the better be helped: And the Heart of God did before the Foundation of the World in his Love before intend [or predetermine] to come to help [him;] and when no other Remedy could do it, the Heart of God himself would become Man, and regenerate Man again. r Wisdom. 26. For Man is not fallen out of strong [fierce, angry] Pride, like the Devil; but his earthly Essences have overcome his paradisical Essences, and brought them into the earthly Lust, and in that Regard he has Grace again bestowed upon him. The highest, strongest, and the mightiest Gate of the Temptation in Adam. 27. Here I will faithfully admonish the Reader, deeply to consider Moses, for s here, under the Vail of Moses, he may look upon the Face of Moses: Also he may see the second Adam in the t Love of the Virgin: Also he may see him in his Temptation, and upon the Cross; as also in Death; and lastly, in the Virtue of the Resurrection at the Right Hand of God: Also you may see Moses on Mount Sinai; and lastly, the Clarification [or Transfiguration] of Christ, Moses and Elias on Mount Tabor: Also you may see herein the whole Scripture of the Old and New Testament: Also you find herein all the Prophets from the Beginning of the World to this Time, and all the Might and Power of all Tyrants, why Things have gone so, and must still go [as they do:] Lastly, you find the golden Gate of the Omnipotence, and of the great Power in the Love and Humility; and why the Children of God must still be tempted; and why the noble Grain of MustardSeed must grow in Storms, Crosses, and Misery, and why it cannot be otherwise: Also here you find the Essence of all Essences. 28. And it is the Gate of the Lily, concerning which the Spirit witnesses, that it will u hereafter grow in the wrathful Tree, and when it grows, it will bring us true Knowledge, by its pleasant and fragrant Smell, in the Holy Trinity; by which Smell Antichrist x will be stifled, and the Tree of the stern Anger be broken down, and the Beast enraged, which has its flight and
