(45) now seeing thou hast thy Reason, and art not like the Apple on the Tree, but art created an Angel and the Similitude or Image of God, instead of the expelled Devils, and knowest how thou canst with thy astral Birth, in the Part of Love, qualify or unite with the Word of God, therefore thou canst in the Center in the Word, set or put thy animated or soulish Birth into Heaven, and thou canst, with thy Soul, even with thy living Body in this dead or mortal Palpability, rule with God in Heaven.

(124) as this has a Being or Substance, Form or Condition in Angels, so it has also a Being, Substance, Form or Condition in Man. Therefore bethink and consider yourselves, you that are proud, covetous, thievish, extorting Usurers, calumniating, blasphemous, envious, and whorish or lascivious, what Manner of little Son or Spirit you send into God. [Or as this Condition is in Angels, so there is such a Condition in Man also.] “The Soul was originally comprehended in the eternal Nature with the Word Fiat, which is God’s Nature according to the first Principle and eternal Original of Nature; and if it kindles itself in the Original, then it kindles God’s Wrath in the eternal Nature.” Objection. Thou wilt say: We do not send this into God, but only into our Neighbour, or into his Work which we like and have a Mind to. Answer. [Or meddle with in our Minds.]

(89) Open your Eyes, and consider your Selves: Man is made according to the Similitude, and out of the Power of God in his Ternary. Behold thy inward Man, and then thou wilt see it most plainly and clearly, if thou art not a Fool, and an irrational Beast; therefore observe,

(82) Here, O Man, consider thyself well, and mind what Manner of Seed thou sowest into the Earth, the very same will spring up, and bear Blossoms and Fruit for ever, either in the Love, or in the Wrath.

(26) O Man! Here consider thyself, here thou seest, from whence the Devil and his fierce wrathful Malice has its Original, as also God's Wrath, and the hellish Fire, also Death and Hell, and eternal Damnation. Ye Philosophers, observe that!

(44) Behold! thou pompous, stately, lofty, and proud Man; the World is even too narrow for thee here, and thou thinkest there is none like thee, or equal to thee: Bethink thyself in this, whether thou hast in thee the Manner, Quality, or Condition of an Angel, or of a Devil. To whom now shall I liken the Angels? Answer.

(49) then thy Heart is a dark Valley: And if thou doest not labour and work quickly again to the Birth of the Light, then he kindles the Wrath-fire therein, and then shall thy Soul be freed out from the Word, and then it qualifies, or unites with the Wrath of God, and so afterwards thou art a Devil, and not an Angel, and canst not with thy animated or soulish Birth reach the Gates of Heaven.

(100) O thou excellent angelical Kingdom, how comely dressed and adorned wast thou once? How has the Devil turned thee into a murderous Den? Dost thou suppose thou standest now in the Flower of thy Beauty and Glory? No! thou standest in the Midst of Hell: If thine Eyes were but opened, thou wouldst see it.

(122) O Man, thou wast not created together with and as the Beasts, by the Word, from Good and Evil; and if thou hadst not eaten of Good and Evil, then the Wrath-fire would not have been in thee; but by that means thou hast also gotten a bestial Body: It is done, the Love of God take Pity, and have Mercy in that Behalf.

(103) Thou Child of Man, behold now, how great a Gate of Heaven, of Hell, and of the Earth, as also of the whole Deity, the Spirit opens to thee.

(60) O Man let this be told thee, for the Spirit is earnestly Jealous in this Thing especially: Desist from Pride, or else it will be with you as it befell the Devils. There is no jesting or trifling herein; the Time is very short, thou wilt suddenly taste it, I mean the hellish Fire.
