(6) And you, east, and west, and north, and south, upper air and lower air, and all the powers and authorities, you are in creation.

(6) Then the whole nature of this world became springing, boiling and moving in the earth, as well as above the earth, and everywhere, and began to generate itself again in all things.

(14) In the midst of heaven and earth they duly created (him

(77) Thus all had its beginning, even to the angels and devils, which, before the creation of heaven, stars and the earth, were produced from the same power from which the heaven, the stars and the earth were produced.

(9) Then were created the gods in the midst of [heaven

(53) But it is to be considered how all was comprised in the word at the great tumult and uproar of the devil, so that all sprang up in its own being according to its power, virtue and kind, as if it had never been destroyed, but only altered.

(1) When the gods in their assembly had made [the world

(14) You made one in understanding; you made another in creation.

(43) As the air goeth forth from the power of the sun and stars, and moveth in this world, and causes that all creatures are generated, and that the grass, herbs and trees spring and grow, and causes all whatsoever is in this world to be:

(42) For the earthly and corrupt nature has continually laboured from the beginning of its creation to this day to bring forth heavenly forms or shapes in the earth, as also in man and beasts; as men very well see that every year new arts are invented and brought to light, which has been constantly so from the beginning to this time.

(7) Created was the matter which they have; Created was the informing influence Within these stars that round about them go. The soul of every brute and of the plants By its potential temperament attracts The ray and motion of the holy lights; But your own life immediately inspires Supreme Beneficence, and enamours it So with herself, it evermore desires her. And thou from this mayst argue furthermore Your resurrection, if thou think again How human flesh was fashioned at that time When the first parents both of them were made."

(95) This I set down here only for a manuduction; you will find it demonstrated more at large concerning the creation of this world.

(136) Now I speak here not only of the heaven above the earth, but this stirring and birth or geniture was also in the earth, and everywhere.

(101) Concerning this, much higher things are to be written, which you will find concerning the creation of this world: This is only brought in for a similitude, and described in the briefest manner.

(84) Upon this king Lucifer was thrust out of his royal place or kingly throne, which he had in that place where now is the created heaven, and thereupon instantly ensued the creation of this world.

(33) For before the beginning of the creation of the creatures there was nothing but GOD only; and where there is nothing, out of that, nothing will be. All things must have a cause or root, or else nothing will be.

(10) But the Limbus out of which he created him is the Matrix of the Earth; and the Earth was generated out of it; yet the Materia [or Matter] out of which he created him was a Massa, became earthly, when Man awakened the earthly Center, and did instantly belong to the Earth and Corruptibility.

(65) Only the birth therein is thus, and so the one generateth the other, in and through itself, and the birth lasteth or continueth thus from eternity to eternity.

(2) Nay, we have it clearly and plainly to be seen in ourselves, and in all Things, if we would not be so mad, blind, and self- conceited, and would not be so drawn and led by a School-boy, but did stick close to the Schoolmaster himself, who is the Master of all Masters; for we see indeed that all Things spring out of the eternal Mother, and as she is in her own Birth, so she has generated this World, and so is every Creature also generated. And as that [Mother] is in her springing forth in Multiplication, where every Fountain [or Source] has another Center in it from the Genetrix, and a Separation [or Distinction,] but undivided and not asunder, so also this World is generated out of the eternal Mother, which now is such another Genetrix, and yet is not separated from the eternal Mother, but is come to be in a material Manner, and it has through the Sun attained another Light and Life; which [Light and Life] is not the wise Master himself, but the wise Master (who is God) he keeps that Light and Life, so that it stands and continues in the eternal Matrix, and yet it is not the eternal Wisdom itself.

(69) But seeing the water, which is the spirit of the astral life, stood in the midst or centre of wrath, and also in death, thereupon also every body formed itself as was the birth or geniture to life and mobility. Of the Earth.
