(65) Behold, O Child of Man! All the Angels were created in the first Principle, and by the outflowing Spirit were formed, and made a Body in a true angelical and spiritual Manner, and enlightened from the Light of God, that they might increase the paradisical Joy, and abide [therein] eternally. But seeing they were to abide eternally, they must be figured [or formed] out of the indissoluble Band, out of the first Principle, which is an indissoluble Band; and they ought to look upon the Heart of God, and feed upon the Word of God, and this Food would be their holy Preservation, and would make their Image clear and light; as the Heart of God, in the Beginning of the second Principle, enlightens the Father, (that is, the first Principle;) and there the divine Power, Paradise, and the Kingdom of Heaven spring up.

(40) And after that this high princely angelical Creature, in the Twinkling of an Eye, in the Word and Holy Ghost (in the holy Element) was figured, [fashioned, formed, or made] a self-subsisting Creature (with perfect Life and Light) in the Word; then also in the same Twinkling of an Eye the four Elements (with the Dominion of the Sun and Stars) in the Tincture of the Blood, together with the Blood and all human Essences, which were in the Body of the Virgin Mary in her Matrix (according to the Counsel of God) in the Element, received the Creature, wholly and properly, as one [only] Creature, and not two.

(45) The second Forming is done naturally, in the same Time of the Angel Gabriel's greeting, when the Virgin said to the Angel, Let it be done unto me as thou hast said. In the Performance of the same Word, the Imaging [or Forming] in the P Element was done, which [Image] was like the first Adam before the Fall, which then should have generated such an angelical Creature out of himself; and the whole Propagation of the angelical Men [should have been] so; and that he could not do now, because he had entered into the Spirit of this World; and therefore there must be such a Virgin-like Creature born in the earthly Virgin, which must bring the earthly Virgin (with her Brethren and Sisters) out of the Earthliness again into the [pure] Element (before God) through himself. And this Forming [or Imaging] is done in the Twinkling of an Eye, wholly and perfectly without any Defect; and nothing at all has happened to it the more with the Length of Time.
