(72) And this third Birth or Geniture is the almighty and holy Heart of God, wherein our King Jesus Christ with his natural Body sits at the right Hand of God, as a King and Lord of the whole Body or Place of this World, who encompasses, holds and preserves all with his Heart.

(98) Now the Heart signifies the Sun, which is the Beginning of Life in this outward Body of this World. And now thou canst not say, that the animated or soulish Birth goes away or departs from the Heart, whilst the Body stands in the Mobility or Life.

(53) But the Heart, when it is generated, is singular or distinct, viz. a peculiar Person, and yet not separated from the Spirits; but the Spirits cannot transmute or change themselves, in their first Birth or Geniture, one into another.

(40) But this third Birth or Geniture is the clear and holy Heaven, which qualifies or unites with the Heart of God without, distinct, and above all Heavens, as one Heart; also they are the one Heart, which holds and bears up or sustains the Place of this World, and holds the Devil captive in the outermost Birth in the Anger-fire, as an almighty, incomprehensible God. [See v. 55.]

(65) I know very well, that the Word concerning the three Births cannot be comprehended or apprehended in every Man's Heart, especially where the Heart is too much steeped, soaked, or drowned in the Flesh, and bolted or barred up with the outtermost Birth. Or fleshly Matter. [Or fleshly Matter.]

(10) This Birth [or active Property] with the indissoluble Band, is generated in every Soul; and there is no Soul before the Kindling of the Light in the Child in the Mother's Body. For with the Kindling, the eternal Band is knit [or tied,] so that it stands eternally, and this Worm of the three Essences does not die, nor separate itself; for it is not possible, [because] they are all three generated out of one [only] Fountain, and have three Qualities, and yet are but one Being [or Substance;] as the Holy Trinity is but in one only Essence [or Substance;] and yet they have three Originalities in one Mother, and they are one [only] Being [or Substance] in one another. Thus also (and not a whit less) is the Soul of Man, but only one Degree in the first Going forth; for it is generated out of the Father's eternal Will (and not out of the Heart of God) yet the Heart of God is the nearest to it of all.
