The Most Incomprehensible & All Abundant God, hath framed too Images like

unto himselfe; & they are the world & Man, that in one of these he might be delighted

to behould all these his Greatly Various, Manifold, Admirable & wonderfull workes

of his Creation & operations; & in the other be glorified, who seeing he is one,

[interlinear: he hath created the world One, Seeing he is infinite]

hath Created the world, Round, seeing he is Eternall, hath Created the world

Immoveable, Seeing he is Immense, hath Created the world the Greatest of

all things, Seeing he is the Cheifest Life; he hath Adorned the world with Vitall

Seeds, begetting all things out of himselfe, & seeing he is Omnipotent,

By his will alone (not by any Necessity of Nature) hath Created the world

(not out of any foregoing Matter, but out of Nothing; & seeing he is the Cheife

Goodness, Embracing his word, which is the Idea of all things (ab origine) wth

his choicest & Essentiall love; he hath fabricated this Externall world, After

the Example of this Internall, or Ideall world; Sending forth nothing of the

Essence of the Idea; but Created of Nothing that which he had from the

Eternity by the Idea.

He Created Man also after his owne Image for as the world is the Image of God,

So man is the Image of the world.

Wee must observe this by this way, that man is not Created Simply of ye Image

of God, But after the Image, or the Image of the Image, wherefore he is

Called Microcosmes, or the Lesser world.

illegible of God in his word, his Wisedome, Light, life

& truth, Existing by him selfe, of which Image Mans soul is the Image;

Therefore we are said to be made after the Image of God, not after ye

Image of the crossed out world, or of the Creatures, For as God cannot be

touched nor perceived by the Eares, nor seen wth the Eyes, So the soul of

man can be Neither Seen heard nor touched, And as God him selfe is

Infinited, & Cannot be Comprehended by any,

So also the mind of man is free & Cannot be Enforced or bounded,

It is illegible capable of this whole world, & whatso ever is in it, in his

minde alone; So the minde of man Comprehendeth Eden in thought,

And as God moveth & Governeth all this world by his Beck alone,

So mans Mind Ruleth & Governeth his Body; therefore man is called

the Other world, & the Other Image of God, because he hath in him selfe

that is to be found in the greater world; So if this illegible Remaineth nothing

which is not governed & works truly by the illegible man himselfe, as many

illegible were kept from him as illegible the greater world.

of the soul in proportion Correspondeth to the Heavens.

illegible the Vegetative life of plants, the illegible of Animalls,

Angelicall Reason, Divine illegible, & the true union of

Divine possession of all these things, flowing together into one,

wherby one may truly say, that man is called Body illegible

Creatures, not onely as being made in the World, that he Comprehendeth all ye world

thereof in himselfe; but also Doth Receive & Containe Eden God him selfe

As Saint paul Clearly Expresseth, Saying ye are the temple of God.

illegible it is no absurd, unjust, or Abhorridall Conceit, nor any ways unbecoming

a Christian to Confirme this tenet, and say, that man is the most Expressed Image

of God, Seeing he Containeth in himselfe, all things which are in God.

First, that God by a Certaine Eminency Containeth all things by his

power simply as the beginning of all things, And he hath given this power to man,

That he should in like manner Containe All things, but it is by a Certaine

Act & Composition as the Bond, Tye and Knot of all things, Therefore man

onely Rejoyceth in this honour, that he hath a similitude with all operation

no it shall & Converdiction wt all, [long horizontal line]

illegible It with the matter In a proper Subject, with the Elements in a

fourfold body, with plants in a four fold illegible, with Animalls in a sense

faculty, with the Heavens in an Etheriall spirit, & by these to the Superiour

parts in the illegible with the Angells in wisdom and illegible with God

in Containing all things.

many of several illegible, but in that to have power & make, do over

ye Divin wisd, by knowing & Loving him,

illegible so man illegible know all things Intellectual,

Seeing he hath for an Abyss & so fost in a illegible, Truth & [interlinear: something]

Is how any Disposition, and thing found in man, in which of Divinity may not

shine forth the minde; is there any thing which God may not also be Injoyed

& tasted in man.

illegible shall know him selfe, shall know all things in him selfe,

And more Especially he shall know God according to whose Image he

was made, he shall know this world, the Resemblance of which he

Beareth, And he shall know all Creatures wth which he Symbolizeth,

& obtaine all the power & true understanding, that can be had from

Angells, spirits, Heavens, Elements, Animals, plants, stones, & whatsoever else,

& how all things may be fitted for all & every purpose, in order

According to their time place order Measure proportion & Harmony.

And that the more Every one shall know him selfe by God much he

obtaineth the greater power of attracting the like Qualityes & Vertues,

& Likewise operateth greater & more wonderfull things, & so by consequence

& Course Gradually ascends to so Great perfection, that he is made the son

of God, & is transformed into that Image which is God, & is united wth

him; A gift that is not granted to Angells, ye world, or any Creature, but

to man Onely.

illegible to be made the son of God, & to be illegible

to God, all things which are in man are united really & Especially his

minde, then his spirit, then his Animall powers, & then his vegetative

qualities &c:

It illegible of this divine Image, is the proper peculiar Guift to

man, & Common to no other Creature.

Therefore since things placed in man, having relation according

to their respective Situation parts & Qualityes.

7. Septimum, is that Divine thing which is Called the mind, or Superior portion,

or illuminated Intellect, Moses Calleth it the Breath of life (that is) Brought from

God, or his spirit inspired into us, ----------------

8. Sextum is the Sensitive Soul, which is also called an Imagination.

paul nameth it the Animall Man: ----------------

9. Tertie is the Rationall spirit, knitting & tying together both Betweens;

(that is) the Animall Soul with the mind, Savoring of the Nature of

Both Betweens, yet it Differeth from the Illuminated Intellect the

mind & light & Superiour portion; it Differeth also from the Animall

Soul, from the which the apostle teacheth us, that we ought to seperate it

by the power of the word of God, saying the word of God is lively &

powerfull, more penetrating than a two Edged Sword piercing Even

to the Dividing of the Soul & spirit ----------------

Is the superiour expression, now determined in order both to Visible,

out alwayes move with Errour, & Err to the worst things; So that

in generall, illegible & draweth to the worst things, of which Saint

James saith, God was not the authour in, nor Mens bad imaginations tempting

to this, are of Sin.

The illegible illuminated Intellect in no wise illegible,

but although it, illegible not so depraved & illegible way or heart.

In no wise Reject the illegible, the illegible will doe grievous things

by nature good, wch according to its illegible, adhired to either

of ym

of them, & is considerably illegible to the Superior portion; it is at length

Given of these forth wth, to all the animall powers into body, And is illegible

Then to the inferiour Animall man, it is Depraved & becomes Vitious,

Thus the minde illegible spirit. ----------------

The Soul of Man, Being a Certaine Divine Light Created after the Image

of the word, the Cause of Causes, & first Example & Substance of God,

illegible some what there in particular, through what

immediatly joyned to the Body &c: ----------------

Hence Oratours Devine Substance, Individuall & wholly present

in Every part of the body, So produced by an incorporeall Author, &

Dependent by the power of the Agent only. ----------------

The Soul is a Substanciall unum, but Triforme Rationall

& Corporeall, as also for the binding of Body and Materiall

things, but for the Administring to the matter, not proceeding

illegible from the Superior things, but from the Inferiour illegible

and Quantity or Number, but one and from all Corporeall

illegible divided and not all together. ----------------

Therefore the Soule, since it is a Certaine Divine Substance flowing

from a Divine fountaine, carrying along with it selfe the Number

illegible Naturall Soule united to bodies for preparation, And the Soule

before Divine, by the Image of the Divine proprietyes illegible

illegible Created by the illegible.

Now Mans Soule illegible proceeded forth wth, yet every way

begirted by Corporeall organs to the Body, hath gotten illegible

In it Identitie, Involved in a Celestiall and Ayeriall body, Called the

Celestiall Vehicle or Chariot of the Soul. ----------------

Through this Middle thing, by the Command of God, who is the Center

of the world, is first infused into the Middle point of the heart,

Which is the Centre of Mans Body, & from thence is Diffused through all

the parts and Members thereof, governing the Chariot of

Naturall heat, being a spirit generated to the heart, by heat of the

Physicall life into the Humors, which first introducing all Formall

illegible the call Celestiall and equally the weight as having illegible

throughout the Middle, And thus it is manifestly illegible forth

by an Immortall Body that is to say an Etheriall Vehicle united to

a Terrene and Mortall Body. ----------------

But these these Middle things doe dissolve or faile being illegible

same Accedentall which before held the Soul illegible and then

when it selfe may Remain back into the twofold quicknesse,

seperable of the Soul. ----------------

But therefore the wise Philosophers have Settled & founded

three Degrees of the Soul proceeding with the Celestiall illegible

Being Naturall Soule united to bodies for preparation, And the Soul

before Divine by the Image of the Divine proprietyes illegible

the Essence, which equally produceth the illegible

of the Devine hypostaticall union illegible.

The fourth Animall or Naturall, by Communion with the body & these

Inferiour things. ----------------

Break forth into this passion, psal: 130; I will Magnifie thy name O Lord,

how wonderfull am I made, all the works of thy hands are wonderfull, as

my Soul hath testified and knoweth right well, my substance was not hid

Seeing it descends from above, from the first Light, & remaines nearest to it,

is far more Noble and Excellent, then all the art Sciences, & beliefs arising from

Inferiour things: By faith is man made somewhat the Same in the Superiour powers;

and enjoyeth the Same power with them. Faith is the Root of all miracles, by which

alone we approach to God, from whome we obtaine Divine power & perfection;

whereof all things are to be beloved, because all things are raised to God;

In his faith, shall Do nothing worthy Admiration, but rather incur punishment,
