(118) For it is of God and in God, and cannot be withheld or hindered, but only by the seven Nature-spirits of the Body, which generate the animated or soulish Spirit; they have the Reins in their Hand, and generate it as they please. [God’s Spirit has all the Qualities, Fountains, or Sources, but distinguishes itself in three Principles, where three sources or Qualities arise, the first in the Fire according] “to the first Principle, and the second in the Light in the second Principle, and the third in the Spirit of this World in the aërial and astral Source.”

(21) there are two Things to be observed in God; the First is the Saltiter, or the Divine Powers, out of which the Body or Corporiety is; and the Second is the Mercurius, Tone, Tune or Sound: Thus also it is in like Manner and Form in an Angel.

(47) "But in the Out-speaking of his Word, wherein the Nature of the spiritual World exists, wherein Perceptibility or Sensibility is understood to consist, and wherein God calls himself an angry, zealous or jealous God, and a consuming Fire, therein indeed God has known the Evil from Eternity, and that in Case he should once move himself therein, that the Source or Quality thereof would become creaturely also, but therein he is not called God, but a consuming Fire. [† In that, according to which he is called a consuming Fire.]

(93) Thus the Reader is to understand this Book as concerning three Principles or Births; viz. One is the Original of the eternal Nature, in the eternal Will or Desire of God, which Desire drives itself on in great Anguish till it comes to the fourth Form, viz. to the Fire.

(119) The Meaning is not, that He is God the Father, who consists in the seven Spirits of the whole Deep, and is not creaturely; but the Meaning is, that in Nature among the Creatures there is also such a Kind of Creature, as is like God the Father, as he is in the seven qualifying or fountain Spirits, which is to reign among the Creatures. For when God made himself creaturely, then he made himself creaturely according to his Ternary: And as in God, the Ternary is the Ground and Object, and yet his wonderful Proportion, Form, and Variety, cannot be measured, in that he shows himself in his Operation so various and manifold; so also he has created three principal Angel-princes, according to the highest Primacy of his Ternary.

(83) Thou must know, that I do not suck it out from the dead or mortal Reason, but my Spirit qualifies, mixes, or unites with God, and proves or searches the Deity, how it is in all its Births or Genitures in its Taste and Smell: And I find, that the Deity is a very simple, pure, meek, loving and quiet Being; and that the Birth of the Ternary of God generates itself very meekly, friendly, lovingly, and unanimously, and the Sharpness of the innermost Birth can never elevate, or swell itself into the Meekness of the Ternary, but remains hidden in the Deep.

(93) Behold! that is the Birth or Geniture of Nature; and so now if in these three Qualities, viz. the astringent, bitter and sweet, the Wrath-fire was not kindled, then thou wouldst plainly see where God is.

(59) In the three Names and Powers stand Heaven and this World, and all what- soever thy Heart can think upon, and though thou shouldst draw a little Circle, which thou canst hardly look into, or which thou canst hardly discern, even less than the smallest Point thou canst imagine; yet even in that is the whole Divine Power, and the Son of God is generated therein, and the Holy Ghost therein goes forth from the Father and the Son; if not in Love, then in Wrath, as it is written, 'With the Holy thou art holy, and with the Froward thou wilt show thyself froward.' [Psalm 18. 26.]

(71) And as the three Elements move in the Deep, as a self-subsisting Spirit, and cause Heat, Cold, and Clouds, and flow forth from the Power of all the Stars; and as all the Powers of the Sun and Stars are in the three Elements, as if they themselves were the Sun and Stars, from whence is the Life and Spirit of all Creatures, and it consists therein; just so the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the Son, and moves in the whole Father, and is the Spirit and Life of all Powers of the whole Father. Observe here, the deep Mystery.
