shall I be, should what I shall say, let it be ever so incorrect, be the means of your getting some satisfaction. When you will meet with the words-Thus saith the Lord, I request that you will always remember that what will follow is only the way that I understand this or that passage. I cannot presume and pretend to say that the Lord saith what is not in the Scripture-God forbid that I should! Pro. 30. 6. After having spoken of the earth and of the waters, I shall communicate to you what I understand by Paradise, the Flood, Egypt, the Wilderness, Babylon, Tyrus, Zion, and Jerusalem-from which I shall venture to pass to the knowledge of the heavens. Let me hope that, considering my great inferiority to the subject, and the difficulty I have to express my ideas, you will not be wanting in patience, indulgence, and caution; neither in praying for your own preservation from error. Beware, Theophila-beware !

Of the Earth, the World, and the Dry Land.

Genesis, 1. 1. In the first and scientific matter God created

the heavenly part and the earthly part of the spirit which His word formed within man; or the substance of the heaven and the substance of the earth; or life and death; or the spiritual system and the temporal system; or the spiritual mind and the human mind; or in the yet inanimate and ignorant creature God created the heavenly part, &c. 2. And the human opinion (in the creature) was without any philosophical form or qualification, and void of instruction.

Genesis, 1. 9. Let the simple and persuasive knowledges that are inferior to the spiritual, be gather

ed together unto one body or science, and let the dry part of the human system appear (in the creature) divided from them. 10. And God called the dry opinion of one's self spirit of the earth, or natural philosophy. 11. Let the human opinion, or let the human philosophy, bring forth (in the imperfect creature) human or philosophical opinions, or notions of various kinds.

24. Let the spirit of the earth bring forth (in the creature's mind) the living spirit after his kind, in the degress of humanity represented by the cattle, creeping things, and beast of the human philosophy.

25. And God made (in the creature) the wild spirits, or the inferior knowledges of the human system, and tame spirits after their kind, and every spirit that creepeth upon, or advances slowly in, the human knowledge after his kind.

28. And replenish the human mind (with useful and good knowledges), and subdue the opinion of one's self (within you and within others).

7. And the Lord God formed the spirit man of the opinions belonging to the human philosophy, and breathed into his mind the spirit of life, or the spiritual knowledge: and the spirit man became a living soul.

3. 17. Ill informed (in thee) is the human knowledge for thy sake; in sorrow shall thy degenerate soul eat of its opinions all the

days of thy life; or in all the instructions

thou shalt receive in thy life.

Genesis, 3. 18. Difficulties also and pains shall it bring forth to thy soul; and she shall feed on the in

ferior productions or knowledges of the natural philosophy.

19. With hard labour shall thy soul eat of the opinions that come from the human knowledge, till by instructions she return unto the good philosophical system; for out of it was thy spirit formed: for thy knowledge is particle of it, and unto its opinions shalt thou return.

4. 11. And now is thy mind erroneously informed from, or, and now is thy soul made unhappy with, the spirit of the earth, which hath spoken through thee to destroy the knowledge that was thy brother's life.

12. When thy soul will cultivate the natural phi-
losophy, it shall not henceforth yield forth
unto her the knowledge that is its strength
(but she shall reap from it only the opinions
that are its weak part).

14. Behold! thy will hath by this punishment
driven my
soul out from the knowledge of
good and evil; and from the light or lumi-
nous knowledge that cometh from thee shall
she be hid; and she shall be a fugitive and a
vagabond in the human system, or in the
opinion of one's self: as one who wan-
dereth in a desert without a guide.

11. 1. And (in all souls) the substance of the earth,
or the human mind, entertained and ut-

tered the same opinion.

Gen.

11. 9. Therefore is the name of the system they had began to build, called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the system of

every human mind: and from that mental confusion did the Lord scatter their minds abroad upon the opinions of the whole of the human philosophy.

12. 3. And I will bless (with the knowledge of the truth) the souls that will give good words to thine, and give errors to him that will give thee false notions and in thy righteousness shall all followers of the human philosophy be well instructed.

26.

1. And the human mind felt a want of good instructions.

3. Let thy soul sojourn in this system, and my spirit shall be with her, and shall instruct her in the truth; for unto her, and unto the souls whose knowledge and life will come from her's, I will give all these philosophical knowledges.

27. 39. Behold! the best and the richest knowledge of the philosophical system, or of the knowledge of one's self, shall be the dwelling of thy soul.

Exod. 10. 15. For their errors covered the knowledge of the whole soul, so that the human mind

was put in darkness.

15. 12. Thou stretchest out thy power, the spirit of the earth swallowed their minds into her

opinions or destroyed the knowledge of their souls.

20. 12. Let thy soul follow the instructions of those who have begotten her in the law of God,

that her knowledges may be extended in the good philosophy which the Lord her

God giveth her (for her guide and dwelling). 18. 25. And the human system is defiled (in their heart) therefore do I visit the iniquity

thereof upon it: and the dry system itself rejects the souls that dwell in it: or vomiteth out the opinions of its inhabitants. 26. 38. And the human philosophy, or the imperfect opinions of your enemies shall absorb the knowledge of your souls.

42. And I will remember the humbled heart. 13. 27. Our souls came unto the philosophy whither thy instructions sent or led them, and surely it abounds in gentle, sweet, and satisfying knowledges, and this philosophical truth is the fruit of it.

14. 21. But as truly as I live, every soul shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

16. 30. But if the Lord make a new thing, and the spirit of the earth make known her opinion, and swallow their minds up, or bury them, in it, with all their knowledges, and their souls fall quick into the lowest system; then ye shall understand that their thoughts and their doings have provoked the Lord. 34. For they said, lest the human system swallow up the knowledge of our souls also.

35. 34. Defile not therefore (by false opinions) the good philosophical knowledge which your

souls shall inhabit, wherein my Spirit dwelleth.

11. 10. For the philosophical knowledge whither thy soul goes in to possess it, is not as the
