(95) Therefore he is a sweet, friendly, bounteous, good, meek, pure and merciful God, according to his heart in the innermost birth or geniture in the place of this world, and still continues so to be; and his meek love presseth forth from his heart into the outermost birth or geniture of the wrath, and quencheth the same, and therefore Sprach Er, He said, Es werde Licht, Let there be light. Here observe the sense in the highest depth.

(125) This is the pith or kernel of the deity, and therefore IT is called GOTT, GOD, because it is sweet, meek, friendly and bounteous or good, GUTIG; and therefore is IT called Barmhertzig (warmhearted or merciful), because its sweet quality riseth up in the astringent or sour and bitter qualities, and refresheth, moisteneth and enlighteneth them, that they might not remain a dark valley.

(135) Thus is the divine power also; the astringent and bitter qualities are the Salitter of the divine omnipotence, the sweet quality is the pith or kernel of the Barmhertzigkeit, warmheartedness, or mercifulness, according to which the whole being, with all the powers, is called GOTT (GOD).

(35) For when men speak of the mercy of God the Father, they speak of his power, of his fountain spirits, of the qualities which are in the Salitter, out of which his most richly loving Heart or Son is generated. Observe here:

(40) But while both of them qualify or operate the one in the other, in the divine power, as if they were but one power, they are a meek, mild, lovely, pleasant, merciful qualifying.

(60) In this body of nature the kindling was now 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 would 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 would have generated itself eternally in their body of meekness, as the Holy Trinity does in the body or corporeity of God; and their inborn or innate spirit would have been one heart, one will, and one love with or in the Holy Trinity: For to that end they were created in the body of God, to be a joy to the Deity.
