(42) This Fire-spirit, and right Devil’s spirit, elevated itself now also in the Center of the Heart, and would rule through the animated or soulish Spirit, [“Hereby is understood the Spirit of the Will, or of the Center, which is generated out of the Genitrix, viz. out of the seven qualifying or fountain Spirits, which is the Image of God,”] in the whole divine Power, and kindle the whole Salitter of God as a new and potent God; and so the Formings, and heavenly Imagings, should rise up in a horrible fiery Quality, and suffer themselves to be imaged and framed according to this Fierceness.

(60) in this Body of Nature now was the Kindling made, for out of this Body the Angels also were created; and if they had not elevated and kindled themselves in their Highmindedness, then their Body might have stood eternally in a Stillness, and in an incomprehensible Meekness, as it is in the other Principalities of Angels that are without, distinct from this World, and their Spirit had generated itself eternally in their Body of Meekness, as the holy Trinity does in the Body or Corporiety of God, and their inborn or innate Spirit had been one Heart, one Will, and one Love with or in the holy Trinity: For to that End also they were created in the Body of God, to be a Joy to the Deity.

(75) For in that Place, or in this Birth or Geniture, is Lord Lucifer become a Creature, and his Dominion reached no further or deeper than so; but if he had continued in the Love, then his animated or soulish Spirit had reached even to the Center of the Heart of God, for Love presses or penetrates through the whole Deity. [Lord Lucifer become a Creature,]

(137) Else if the Light had kindled itself in the Birth or Geniture of the Soul, then all the seven qualifying or fountain Spirits, according to the eternal Birth-right of the Deity, had triumphed and qualified, mixed, or united in and with the Light, and had been a living Angel; but seeing the Wrath had plainly already infected the Salitter, therefore that Danger was to be feared which befell Lucifer. Now it may be asked,

(71) Now when King Lucifer, together with all his Angels, kindled himself, then the Wrath-Fire rose up instantly in the Body, and the gracious amiable and blessed Light was extinguished in the animated or soulish Spirit, and became a fierce, furious, devilish Spirit, all according to the Kindling and Will of the qualifying or fountain Spirits.

(123) so in this Manner Lord Lucifer brought the Deity into Anger and Wrath; “that is, kindled the eternal Nature according to the first Principle;” seeing he together with all his Angels, as a malicious Devil, fought or strove against the Deity, intending to bring and subdue the whole Circumference, Circuit, or Region, under his innate Spirits, that they should form, frame, figure, and image all, and the whole Circumference, Region, or Extent, should bow, yield, and suffer itself to be ruled and formed by the kindled Sharpness of the innate Spirits. And

(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.]

(101) For the Light of God, and the Spirit of God, cannot comprehend the sharp Birth or Geniture, and therefore they are two distinct Persons; and so Lord Lucifer could no more touch, see, feel, or taste the Heart of God and the Holy Spirit of God, with his austere, cold, and hard Fire-birth, but was spewed out with his Fire-spirit into the outermost Nature, wherein he had kindled the Wrath-fire.

(80) Behold here the Wickedness and Malice which is the Cause; viz. when King Lucifer did sit in his Kingdom, like a high-minded proud Bride, then his Circuit, Circle or Orb contained or comprehended the Place or Space where now the created Heaven is, which is made out of the Water;

(46) But now the qualifying or fountain Spirits in Lucifer did not so; but they seeing that they sat in the highest Primacy or Rank, they moved themselves too hard, and strongly, that the Spirit which they generated was very fiery, and climbed up in the Fountain of the Heart, like a proud Damsel or Virgin.

(129) For at the very Hour when Lucifer elevated himself, the Father was moved to Wrath in the qualifying or fountain Spirits against the Legions of Lucifer, and the Heart of God hid itself in the Firmament of Heaven, where the Salitter, Effect, Product or Fabrick of the Corporeity, was burning already, for without or distinct from the Light, is the dark Chamber of Death.

(91) But when Lucifer exalted himself, and kindled his qualifying or fountain Spirits, then the animated or soulish Spirit went forth in the Tone out of or from all the Bodies of Lucifer’s Angels, into the Saltiter of God, as a fiery Serpent, or Dragon, and imaged and framed all Manner of fiery and poisonous Forms and Images, like to wild, cruel, and evil Beasts.

(76) And if thou art not wilfully blind, thou mayest know, that the Air is that very Spirit, but in the Place of this World Nature is kindled therein very swelling in the Wrath-fire, which Lord Lucifer effected, and the Holy Ghost, who is the Spirit of Meekness, lies hidden therein in his Heaven.

(35) Now when the Heart of God with his Meekness and Love made Haste towards Lucifer, he despised it, and thought himself far better than that, and then stormed back again with Fire and Coldness in hard Claps of Thunder against the Son of God, supposing he must be in Subjection under him, and that he himself was Lord; for he despised the Light of the Son of God. Question. Then thou askest: How! Had he such Power? Answer.

(30) The outward Comprehensibility or Palpability in the whole Nature of this World, and of all Things which are therein, stands all in the Wrath-fire of God, for it is become thus through the Kindling of Nature. And Lord Lucifer with his Angels has his Dwelling now in the same outward Birth or Geniture which stands in the Wrath-fire.
