(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.

(34) Now then, seeing the Devils kindled their own Bodies, intending thereby to domineer over the whole Deity, therefore the Creator also, in his Wrath, kindled this third Spirit, or this third Birth or Geniture in Nature, and imprisoned the Devil therein, and made an eternal Lodging therein for him, that he might not be higher than the whole God. [decorated X] Understand, in the outward Sources or Qualities; for the outermost of all, is also the inmost of all.

(39) And so in the sharp and fiery Births or Generatings, there is nothing but a mere Longing of Love, a Tasting, friendly affecting, gracious, amiable, and blessed Generating; there is nothing but mere Love, and all Wrath and Bitterness in the Center is bolted up as in a strong Hold.

(37) But now thou must not think, that thereupon the whole Nature or Place of this World is become a mere bitter Wrath of God. No; here lies the Point; the Wrath does not comprehend the innermost Birth or Geniture in Nature, for the Love of God is yet hidden in the Center, in the whole Place of this World, and so the House which Lord Lucifer is to be in, is not fully separated, but there is still in all Things of this World, both Love and Wrath one in another, and they always wrestle and thrive one with another.

(62) This other Part of the astral Birth, which stands in the Love in the sweet Water, is the Firmament of Heaven, which holds the kindled Wrath together with all the Devils captive, for they cannot enter thereinto; and in that Heaven dwells the Holy Spirit, which goes forth from the Heart of God, and strives or fights against the Fierceness, and generates to himself a Temple in the Midst, in the Fierceness of the Wrath of God.
