(42) And the Element remains hidden to the Anger and Fierceness [or Wrath,] and stands in Paradise; and the fierce Wrath goes still out from the Element; and therefore God has captivated the Devils with the Element in the fierce Wrath, and he keeps them [in] with the Element; and the fierce Wrath cannot [touch or] comprehend it, like the Fire and the Light; for the Light is neither hot nor cold, but the fierce Wrath is hot; and the one holds the other, and the one generates the other.

(13) Also the Devils tremble at the Kindling of the Wrath, whose Faces appear before the Eyes of the Ungodly; for they see the angelical World before them, and the hellish Fire in them; and they see how every Life burns, and every one in its own Source, in its own Fire. The angelical World burns in Triumph, in Joy, in the Light of the Glory, and it shines as the clear Sun, which neither Devil, nor any of the Wicked dare look upon, and there is Praise [and Hallelujahs] that the Driver is overcome.

(16) Thus you must understand what it is [or means] when the Scripture speaks of revenging the Ungodly, that there is Joy in the Saints at it; for the fierce Wrath [or Grimness,] and the Source [or Torment] of Hell, is the Joy of the Heaven: For if there was no Source [or Pain,] there would be no Flowing-up [or Springing.] But if the Light comes [to be] in the fierce, [austere, sour] Source, then there is mere Joy; and in the Darkness there is a peculiar Enmity in itself, and therein is the eternal Worm generated.

(15) Therefore there is also very great Joy in Heaven, rfor this World, because there is a Principle generated, so that the Devil can make no more Use of the fierce Wrath, which he poured forth and kindled in the Time of his Creation; but is imprisoned between the two Principles, which are both good.

(51) To conclude, God will have no fiery Spirit in Paradise, they must remain in the first Principle, in the eternal Darkness; if they had continued as God had created them (when the Meekness shined [or appeared] to them) and had put the Center of their Minds into the Meekness, then the Light of God should for ever have shined through them, and they should have eaten of the Verbum Domini [the Word of the Lord;] and they should with the Root of their Original have stood in the first Principle, like God the Father himself, and with the Will in the Mind [they should have stood] in the second Principle: Thus they should have had a paradisical Source, [Quality or Property,] and an angelical Will; and they should have been friendly in the Limbus of Heaven, and in the Love of God.

(21) And if it elevates itself back into the Anguish of the four Forms of the Original, and will horribly breathe forth out of Pride in the Original of the Fire, knowing itself [shall] so [become] powerful; it so becomes a Devil: For the Devils also with their Legions had this Original, and they out of Pride would live in the i fierce Wrath of the Fire, and so they perished, and remained Devils.

(30) Thus in this springing up [or going forth] the material Matrix was extinguished, and the Wrathfulness [Tartness or Fierceness] is come in the Stead thereof. And the Devil remained in the Original of the Matrix (which cannot be altered in Eternity) between Paradise and this World, in the dark Matrix; and with the Creation of the Earth, he was thrust down from his high Throne [or Seat,] where now the fiery starry Heaven is.

(23) Therefore the Devil also, in Regard of the Might of the tart [strong fierce Wrath,] was called a Prince of this World in the [angry strong] Fierceness, of which you shall find [more] about the Fall. And therefore God created but one Man; for God would that Man should continue in Paradise, and live eternally; and on the contrary, the Sternness [or strong fierce Wrath] would tempt him, [to try] whether he would put his Imagination and Will wholly into the Heart of God, and into Paradise, wherein he was.
