(142) This now is the very door of the hidden, secret Mystery of the Deity. Concerning which the Reader is to conceive, that it is not in the power or capacity of any man to discern or to know it, if the Dawning or Morning-Redness does not break forth in the centre in the soul.

(100) Against which the wrath, with its snarling in the astringent and bitter quality, at the hinder gums in the hollow on the tongue, struggles, and keeps its right to itself, and keepeth its seat in its place, and lets the meek spirit come forth from the heart, through itself [the wrath], and thundereth with its [the wrath's] snarling after the meek spirit, and so helps to form or frame the word, yet with its thundering cannot get away from its seat, but abideth in its hollow hole, as a captive prisoner, and appears terrible. This is a great Mystery.

(116) And in the same way as the spirit goeth forth from the heart through the grumbling, murmuring and snarling of the bitter and astringent quality, very strongly and powerfully, and with its going forth ruleth in the astringent and bitter quality, incomprehensibly as to the astringent and bitter quality, as a potent king, so also the spirit of God ruleth in the outermost birth or geniture of this world (in the wrathhouse) mightily, and generateth to himself a temple therein, incomprehensibly to the wrathhouse.

(119) But that the bitter spirit lies still, and neither heareth nor comprehendeth nor apprehendeth the work of the spirit, signifieth that the bitter wrath-fire, which ariseth in the flash of fire at the time of the birth or geniture of the light, is not awakened by the light, neither comprehendeth it, but lies captive, imprisoned in the outermost birth or geniture, and must give leave to the spirit of light to do its work in nature, how it pleaseth, and yet can neither see nor hear nor comprehend the work of the light.
