The Three Principles of the Divine Essence
Chapter 5: Of the Third Principle, or Creation of the material World, with the Stars and Elements; wherein the First and Second Principles are more clearly understood. (24)
When God in the first Matrix moved himself to create, and created the Angels, he created them in Paradise, in the light holy Matrix, (which is this and no other;) but the Matrix, with its fiery, dark, and harsh bitter Property, remained altogether hidden; for the Light of God from Eternity preserved it, and kept it pleasant, clear, and bright. But when God moved himself to create, then it became manifested; for the Angels were created out of the indissoluble Band, out of the Matrix, and were corporized from the moving Spirit of God.
