(93) But when God, after the Fall of Lucifer, made the Creation of this World, then all was created out of the same Saltiter wherein Lucifer had his Seat: And so afterwards the Creatures also in this World must needs be created out of that same Saltiter, which now form themselves according to the Condition or Kind of the kindled Qualities, Evil and Good. And

(75) They contain also all the Creatures both in Heaven and in this World; and all the Creatures in Heaven and in this World are imaged, fashioned or framed out of these Spirits, and live in them as in their own Propriety. And

(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 sprung up in its own Being according to its Power, Virtue and Kind, as if it had never been destroyed, but only altered.

(173) Therefore also the Creatures, as Beasts, Fowls, or Birds, Fishes and Worms, in this World, are not created to an eternal Being, but to a transitory one, as the Figures in Heaven also pass away.

(74) Seeing then that they stood in Heaven in the Time of their Creation, therefore their Quality was also manifold; and all should have been and continued Angels, if the great Fountain Lucifer (from whence they proceeded) had not destroyed them. And so now also every one in his Fall continues in his own Essences, only the second Principle is extinguished in them; and so it is also with the Soul of Man, when the Light of God goes out in it; but so long as that shines therein, it is in Paradise, and eats of the Word of the Lord, of which shall be clearly spoken in its due Place.

(20) Thus now even unto this very Day all Things are yet in the Fiat, or Creating, and the Creation has no End until the Judgment of God, where that which has grown on the holy Tree shall be separated from the unholy Thistles and Thorns; and we Men are these innumerable Aspects (or Ideas) in the Fiat of the great princely Throne; and we, who are holy, shall be created in the Body of this Prince in God; but we that degenerate, or perish, shall be cast out as naughty Apples unto the Swine of the Devil.

(110) And in such a Manner, Heaven and Earth are his; also in such a Manner all the Devils, together with all wicked Men, must be his eternal Prisoners, and in the Saltiter, which they have corrupted and kindled in their Place or Space, must endure eternal Pain and Torment, and moreover eternal Shame and Reproach.

(92) And from hence the wild, fierce, and evil Beasts have their Original in this World. For the Host or Army of Lucifer had kindled the Saltiter of the Stars and of the Earth, and half killed, spoiled and destroyed it.

(4) On which will be restored again all that which has been lost through Adam, and in which the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Kingdom of the Devil, shall be severed asunder, in this World.

(41) Therefore in this World all Things are given into Man's Power, because he is an eternal Spirit, and all other Creatures [are] no other than a Figure in the Wonders of God; and therefore Man ought well to consider himself, what he speaks, does, and purposes, in this World; for all his Works follow after him, and he has them eternally before his Eyes, and lives in them. Except it be, that he is again new regenerated out of Evil and Falshood, through the Blood and Death of Christ, in the Water and the Holy Spirit, and then he breaks forth out of the hellish and earthly Image, into an angelical [Image,] and comes into another Kingdom, into which its Untowardness [or Vices] cannot follow, and that [Untowardness, Contrariety, or Vice] is drowned in the Blood of Christ, and the Image of God is renewed out of the earthly and hellish.

(8) Behold, when God had created the third Principle, after the Fall of the Devils, when they fell from their Glory (for they had been Angels, standing in the Place of this World) yet nevertheless he would that his Will and Purpose should stand; and therefore he would give to the Place of this World an angelical he having created the Creatures, whose Shadows after the Changing of the World should continue for ever, yet there was no Creature found that could have any Joy therein [in the Shadows,] neither was there any Creature found that might manage the Beasts in this World; therefore God said, Let us make Man an Image like unto us, which may rule over all the Beasts, and Creatures upon the Earth; and God created Man to be his Image, after the Image of God created he him.

(37) Thus is the Birth (and also the first Original) of all the Creatures; and it standeth yet in such a Birth in the Essence; and after such a Manner it is, out of the eternal Thoughts (viz. the Wisdom of God) by the Fiat, brought out of the Matrix; but being come forth out of the Darkness, out of the Out-Birth, out of the Center, (which yet was generated in the Time, in the Will,) therefore it is not eternal, but corruptible [or transitory,] like a Thought; and though it be indeed material, yet every again, as it was before the Beginning.

(10) Seeing then that the eternal Wisdom of God (viz. in the chaste Virgin of the divine Virtue) had discovered itself in the Principle of this World, in which Place the great Prince Lucifer stood in the Heaven, in the second Principle, therefore the same Discovering was eternal, and God desired to shed forth the Similitude out of the Essences, which the Fiat created according to the Kind of every Essence, that they should (after the Breaking [or Dissolution] of the outward Substance) be a Figure and Image in Paradise, and a Shadow of this Substance. 1 1. 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 Out-Birth [shall] go into the Ether) they should appear before him, and that his eternal Wisdom in his Works of Wonder might he known.

(10) For as all in the Fiat was held and created according to the [Will of the] a Fashioner, which was the sole and total Workmaster in all Things, in the seven Spirits of Nature, which broke nothing when he fashioned it, nor threw one [Part] from the other when he had made it, but every Thing separated itself, and stood in the Source of its own Essences, so there shall not need much Blustering, Thunder and Lightning, and Breaking, as this World in Babel teaches, but every Thing perishes in itself; the Source [or Flowing forth] of the Elements ceases, as a Man when he dies [ceases from working,] and all passes into its Ether [or Receptacle.] 1 1. And at the Time (before this Fabric [of Heaven and Earth] perishes and passes into its Ether) comes the Judge of the Living and the Dead; there all Men must see him in his, and in their Flesh; and all the Dead must rise through his Voice, and stand before him; and there the angelical World shall be manifested. And all the Generations of the Earth (which are not comprehended in the Body of Christ) shall howl, and then they shall be separated into two Flocks; and the Sentence of Christ passes over all, both Good and Bad; and there will be Howling, Trembling, Yelling, Roaring, and cursing themselves, the Children cursing their Parents, and wishing that they had never been born.

(39) For they were all in Subjection under him, and he ruled in all his Angels, for he was created out of the Pith or Kernel of that Salitter, out of which his Angels were all created, and he was the Heart and Lord of all his Angels.
