  A description of the state and condition of all mankinde upon the face of the whole earth. And a discovery unto all; shewing what man was in his creation before transgression, and what he is in transgression ... Also, the way of restoration, of salvation, redemption, and of life eternal, is here declared ... that all may come to the knowledge of the Creator, and to have fellowship with him again, from whom all the children of men are separated in the state of enmity, and are ignorant of him, and drove from his presence. This is to go abroad into all the earth, through the whole world ... that they ... may be restored again to serve, and worship, and glorifie the living God, who made heaven and earth, and all things therein. By ... Edward Burrough.

summary:
  And this Restorer , and Saviour , the Power and VVisdom of the Creator , hath lightned all mankind , every one that cometh into the world is lightned by him , that every one may follow him , and be guided by his power and wisdom ; and every one that doth receive him , sin and iniquity , and transgression is condemned , and the seed of the Enmity is cast out by his power , which is revealed against all unrighteousness , and he subdues it , and works it forth of the hearts of all men , and so reconciles man again to his Maker , to have fellowship with him ; and this Restorer , the second Adam , comes to be revealed within every man , who executes true Judgement upon the Transgressor , and bindeth under the rebellious Nature , and death and condemnation passes upon the seed of Enmity and all its fruits , upon the Devil and all his works , upon him who is born of the flesh , and all his wayes , his joy is turned into mourning , his pleasures into sorrow , his glory and rejoycing into sadness of heart , and the life which he has lived comes to be crucified , & the ways which he hath walked in comes to be hedged up , and no more followed , and his strength is turned into weakness , and all his ways and pleasures fadeth and perisheth , and the birth which is immortal comes to be brought forth , which is not of this world , but Heir of the Creators Inheritance , who hath no glorying under the Sun , nor no pleasure in the glory of this world , which passeth away , but lives unto God in all things , and brings forth fruit unto the Father , and is replanted into the living Vine , and is leavened into a new lump , and placed in the Garden of God , all the old garments are put off , & old things are passed away , the devil is cast out , the blinde eye is opened , & the vail is taken away which hath been spread over all , & the deaf ear is unstopped , & man is again returned unto his Maker , & hears , & sees , & understands the things which are eternal , which belongs to his peace ; the fear of God is set up in his heart , and Gods secrets are revealed unto him , & he is become the glory of his Maker , to praise him , to glorifie him , & to magnifie him for evermore , being restored again unto Gods Image , & guided with his power & wisdom , & have received dominion and authority from his Maker to reign & rule over all creatures , & to be exercised in all things to his glory by whom they were made ; he is not in bondage to any creature , but in liberty over it , & the creatures are become his servants , & he servant to his Maker , & the earth yeilds its encrease unto man , the curse is removed , & the blessing restored in the Covenant of Peace and righteousness , where all creatures comes to be injoyned ; the covenant of Death and Hell being broken and disannulled , where the curse stood ; & standeth in all the world , where the Restorer of the second Adam is not received , who moveth by the measure of his power against the evil in the hearts of all men , & he knocketh at the door of the heart , that he may be received , and come in and dwell with the children of men , whose delight is with the sons of men ; & every one that openeth unto him , & hearkeneth to his cry who calleth by the Light , & moveth by his Power , by him they receive life and peace , and sulness from the Father , and are raised from death to life , & redeemed from under the power of Satan to the power of the Creator , all evil in the ground and in the fruits , judgement goes upon it all , and condemnation ; & thus mankind comes to be restored again to God his Maker , to be the children of God , and heirs of his Inheritance , and is no more of this world , but redeemed by Jesus Christ out of kindreds , tongues , and people , out of respect of time , place , creatures , or things , and sees through all creatures , to be before the world was , beyond all the glory of this world , to the glory of the Lord ; and here is the praising , the singing , & rejoycing , the living & walking in that life which cannot change , & in the world , of which there is no end ; and here a greater glory is known then the first mans glory , a greater state then that which was overcome of the Devil , a greater dominion then that which was lost ; this dominion never can have an end , death is swallowed up of life , all sorrow and anguish is swallowed up of rejoicing , all tears are wiped here , and there is no more sorrow , the quickning spirit is felt and witnessed , which hath quickned again to God , and God Tabernacle is with men , and his dwelling place with the children of men , and that is felt and seen , and tasted , which was before the world was , before any creature was made ; and the whole world is comprehended , and mans state in his first creation is here known , what it was ; and mans state in transgression is also known , whiat it was , and mans state restored again , is also witnessed , and the difference sperceived betwixt the first Adam , which was overcome of the Devil , though he was innocent and without sin , and bore the likeness of his Maker , and of the second Adam , who cannot be overcome of the devil , whom Satan hath nothing in , who is the express image of the creator it self . And through transgression of the Povver that made him he vvas cast out of the Creators Garden , and out of his love , to labour under the curse in unprofitable ground ; and also out of his ovvn dignity , and honor , & dominion vvas he cast , & became heir of death , and child of Wrath , and Enemy in his mind unto the Creator , and an enmity vvas placed in him against the Povver that made him , & rebellion in his mind from vvhich all the Works of unrighteousness proceeds , & innocency vvas lost , & man became hurtful to himself & to all creatures , & grieved continually the Povver that made him , & vvas drove from the presence & feeling of his Creator , into insensibleness : and in this state unto this day are all ye sons & daughters of the first Adam in the enmity against the povver that made you , every moment transgressing it ; & death reigns over you all , & the povver of darkness rules in you all , & the Lavv of sin , & death , & transgression are you all subject to & led captive in your minds , affections & desires , at the vvill of the povver that leads into transgression , called the devil ; & in that state you are all strangers to God , & are vvithout him in the World , & ignorant of the knovvledg of his ways , and are in the perishing state for want of knowledge , and subject to the curse of the power which you transgress , and are heirs of his Wrath , having no part in the Inheritance of blessing ; for a vail of darkness through sin hath overspread you all , and covered you all from the sight , and hearing , and feeling of the Creator , and of the mystery of his glory and wisdom ; and every one in particular , and none excepted of all the children of Adam upon the face of the whole earth , but all have sinned and transgressed , and death reigns over all , and blindness of heart hath possessed all , and all have fallen short of the glory of the Creator , & all men are concluded ( by his spirit ) to be under sin , and children of Wrath , and Heirs of Corruption , and in disobedience & rebellion to the life that gives all men a being ; the whole world , & all people in it , without exceptions of tribes , Generations , or Nations , this is the state & condition of all the sons of men ; all flesh hath corrupted his way upon the earth in his sight that made it ; and the wickedness of man is great in the earth , and the imaginations and thoughts of every mans heart is evil continually , and grieveth the Creator ; for the whole earth is filled with violence through mans trnsgression : And now if any stock or age hath priviledge one above another , to redemption and salvation , and to the Kingdom of Peace and Glory , but Jew and Gentile , wise and foolish , Noble and Ignoble , Male and Female , all people without exception are in transgression , and by the line and measure of true judgement are shut out from the knowledge of life and salvation , and of the Inhheritance of the Father , in that state of enmity wherein every man in the world is fallen into , and by one the offence came , & so death upon all men , which reigns in the hearts of all , and opposeth the life of the Creator , and every one is imperfect in the sight of the Lord , blind , deaf , dumb , lame and without the sence of the Power that made him and brought him forth , his eye sees not , for it is covered with a vail of darkness ; neither doth the ear hear , for it is stopped ; nor the Tongue speak , nor the understanding pecceive any thing of the secrets of the Lord , but all are separated and divided from the tree of life , and are cast out from his presence by whom the world was made , into blindness of heart , and to the loathing of your selves , and are more ignorant of your Maker then the Ox is of his owner , or the Asse of his Masters Crib ; for you know not him that gives you life and all good things , and that upholds you by the Word of his Power ; and this is his word unto you all , You are all under the power of Satan , and subject to his wil , acting in iniquity and in evil , bringing forth the fruits of death from that ground in which you now stand , which is cursed , and your Maker hath no pleasure in it , for your fruits grieves his spirit that made you , and vexes his soul which brought you forth ; for man is degenerated into the plant of a strange Vine , and brings forth wild grapes and cursed fruits which is of a bitter taste unto the Lords soul , who planted all things for himself , who is the good Husband man ; but the whole earth is currupted , and all mankind in it , and man is not now acted , nor led , nor ruled in his heart by the Power that made him , which gives him all good things ; but the power of Satan , the Serpent , the old Dragon , which deceived from the beginning who is in the enmity against the life of the Creator ; he acts man , and rules man , to the abuse of all creatures , and to his own destruction , and every particular man is liable to the wrath , and to the curse , and to everlasting wo , and misery , and tormeut from his Maker , in that state of disobedience whereinto all mankind is fallen , not one upon the face of the whole earth excepted from transgression , and so from misery ; nor none priviledged one above another unto happiness , but as I have said , Male and Female , who was made in the Image of their Maker in the first Creation ; but now every man in the whole world is in the enmity against the life of the power that made him and is a child of wrath and shut up in blindness and unbelief under the Devils power , which power abode not in the truth , but is out of the truth , and all mankind is left in this condition without help , or helper , or deliverance , or means , or way of salvation from himself or any other creature upon the face of the whole earth but is a Sheep without a Shepherd , straying and wandering in the thoughts of his own heart , after vanity , and that wherein there is no profit to the Lord , nor to his own soul , but death and sorrow in all his wayes , having forsaken the Fountain of living waters , and gone a whoring after other Lovers , and defiled himself , and so brought destruction upon himself by his own doings , who abounds in all evil , lying , theft murder , envy , strife , stealing , and Whoredom , and such like which are the fruits of the ground that is cursed for mans sake :

  A dialogue full of pithe and pleasure: betvveene three phylosophers: Antonio, Meandro, and Dinarco vpon the dignitie, or indignitie of man. Partly translated out of Italian, and partly set downe by way of obseruation. By Nicholas Breton, Gentleman.

summary:
  oh how soon● began the in●ection of corruption to enter into this excell●nt matter , when the subtiltie of the Serpent began so closely to spet his poyson , that the venome was not felt till it came to the heart , and so ranne to the very soule , when ●it proud of vnderstanding , vnthankful for his knowledge in séeking more then néedfull , lost that was necessarie : and by whom was this bane brought him , but by her that came out of him , euen a part of himselfe , the R●●me of his whole selfe , and which is most to be lamented , a piece so neare his heart , should béé the hurt of his owne soule ● oh what indignitie can there be more in wit ? to proue it more truly ●olly , then like Aesops dogge , to loose a bone for a shadow , or worse , comfort for sorrow ? and what more indignitie to the nature of man , then to be so vntha●kfull to his maker , to make no more regard of his commaund , then hauing b●t one thing forbidden , and with a penaltie of offence , yet would presume to aduenture that ill , that might be the l●sse of all his good ▪ Oh vnwise vnthankfulnesse , the first ground of his vnha●pinesse , and first note of his vnworthin●sse . But of all the most worthy to be noted , as I before said , is the Elephant , who certaine dayes before his méeting with his female , that shee may kindly entertaine him , goes to the Sea , and ther● as deepe as hée dare stand for drowning , stayeth till the waues doo almost couer him , when béeing well washed , hée walketh into some place where hee may drye him in the Sunne , then goeth vnto some Rocke , where betwixt two stones , hée whetteth his tuskes , as it were to burnish them and sharpen them for some fight : all which performed , hée walketh full of melancholly , till he haue met with his female , when putting on a pleasing humour , hée maketh her such sport , as he findes most fitting her contentment : which done , and hauing performed for certaine dayes , that due course where vnto nature hath commaunded him , hee then retires himselfe into some sollitarie place , where as it were , wearie , and not well pleased with himselfe with that he hath done , solemnly stealeth alone downe againe to the Sea , where in like manner as before , hée standeth till hée be cleane washed from that vncleanenesse wherewith hée findes hims●lfe defiled : which done , and dryed as before in some sunni● place , hée getteth him againe to his fellow mates , where he passeth the rest of his life : and ( which I had almost forgot ) it is sai● that ●ée onely once in the yeare , and onely to one , thus ties the time of his delight .

  Anthroposophia theomagica or A discourse of the nature of man and his state after death; grounded on his creator's proto-chimistry, and verifi'd by a practicall examination of principles in the great world. By Eugenius Philalethes.

summary:
  This Influx from Him is the true , proper Efficient of our Regeneration , that {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} of Saint John , the seed of God which remaines in us . Neither is this Spirit in Man alone , but in all the Great World though after an other manner : For God breathes continually , and passeth through all things like an Aire that refresheth : wherefore also he is called of Pythagor as {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Animatio universorum , Hence it is that God in Scripture hath severall names according to those severall Offices he performes in the Preservation of his Creature .

  A consideration upon the book of Esaias Stiefel, of the threefold state of man, and his new birth written anno Christi 1621, by Jacob Behmen, otherwise called Teutonicus philosophus.

summary:
  For in this Conception is the Kingdom of Heaven , or the Heart of God , the Man to the seed which is sown ; and the seed of the Woman ( understand the seed of the Soul and of the noble Image inclosed in the Death ) is the Matrix , which receiveth into it the seed of God after an Essential manner ; so that God and Man becometh One Person , according to the form ( or manner ) of the three Worlds , as they stand one in another , and yet the one is not the other : for they possess not one the other , but every one dwelleth in it self ; so that although God in Christ be born in Us , yet we can by no means say , when we speak of the whole Man , I am Christ ; for the Outward is not Christ : But thus we can and may say upon good ground , I am in Christ , and Christ is become Man in me . But when the Author writeth , that the Old Man falleth wholly away in the Repentance , and dyeth altogether in the Death of Christ , he erreth ; For Christ is not come for the Old Mans sake , nor is he become Man in the old defiled sinful flesh , but in the Essence of the Image , that a New Man may be born out of the Old , and dwell in the Old , yet not in the Third Principle in this outward World , but in the Second in Heaven , in God , and God in him .

  The vanity of this mortal life, or, Of man, considered only in his present mortal state by J. Howe ...

summary:
  1. It administers the ground of just rebuke , that since if we terminate our thoughts and designs upon things , only on this side the grave , it would seem we were wholly made in vain , we do yet so generally employ our cares and endeavours about such things , and even the vilest and most de●p●●●ble of these : And so live , not to our own dishonour only , but to the reproach of our Maker , as if he made us for no more worthy Ends. And let us but impartially debate the matter with our selves : Can we , in sober reason , think we were made only for such Ends as the most only pursue ? Glad , or desirous to see it ingross power , and grasp the sum of things , not from any sense of duties towards God's Vicegerents ; not from love of Justice , or study of publike advantage ; but that the happier lo● may befall or remain to themselves : These men are absorpt , and swallowed up of the spirit of this World , contemper'd only to this sublunary Region , concorporate with the earth , so as to partake in all its pangs and paroxisms , and tremul●us motions .

  The forbidden fruit· or A treatise of the tree of knovvledge of good & evill of which Adam at first, & as yet all mankind doe eate death. Moreover, how at this day it is forbidden to every one as well as to Adam; and how this tree, that is the wisedome of the serpent planted in Adam, is that great image, and that many headed beast, mentioned in Daniel and the Apocalyps, whom the whole world doth worship. Lastly, here is shewed what is the tree of life, contrary to the wisdome, righteousnesse, and knowledge of all mankind: with a description of the majestie and nature of Gods Word. By August: Eluthenius [sic]. Translated out of Latine into English.

summary:
  Therefore the knowledge of Christ in Men is quite contrary unto this ; For hee hath knowne nothing , doth , or wills to know nothing , but onely God , this is his rejoycing , for this only cause doth hee learne sciences , or rather doth God in him ; And to this with all his endeavoure and strength doth hee apply himselfe : that as in Adam hee was made something , even so in Christ and with Christ he may be brought to nothing againe ; and all his knowledge and sciences , even as it were foolishnes & deadly poyson , he may vomit up againe , & esteem as nothing ; that he may wipe out of the tables of his heart all human arrogancie , having action , knowledge and science : to the end that nothing may remaine there , but only that which God teacheth and by his owne finger writeth . Breefly , a true Christian is a certaine bare naked thing , who with Socrates knowes nothing but this , that he knowes nothing ; In these blessed and unknowing fooles , God will know all things , if so it be , man know how to empty himselfe , and to cast away the basenes of his old ragges ; But the fl●s● for this onely cause doth learne that it may be something , or rather be all things , know , have , and doe all things ; wheras the spiritual man learnes only for this cause , that befor God he maj be made nothing to himself ▪ & all other creatures whatsoever , that thereby God may be all things in him : know , have , doe , love , and live in him ; this is behoovefull to bee knowne ; this is the true use of all things , and for this only end ought we to labour to know any thing . Breefly , all witt and arts , which God himselfe doth not plant in the hearts of Men , by the power of his spirit and Word , but acquired and gotten outwardly by the industry and helpe of men are death it selfe , or rather a deaster ; if man doe any manner of way , trust or hope in them , for they doe make man no more acceptable to God , or any way more righteous before him , then doe his meate , drinke , or cloathes , for all these things are out of man ; and a certaine superstition and worshipping of a false God ,

summary:

  An apologie concerning perfection being a fundamentall answer and reply upon Esaiah Stiefel his exposition of four texts of the Holy Scripture written in the year 1622 ... / by Jacob Behme, also called Teutonicus philosophus ; Englished by John Sparrow.

summary:
  The Soul hath free-will to go OUT and IN , but it * can NOT generate it self in Christ ; it must only go out of its own Evill Will , and enter into Gods Mercy ; Then CHRISTS Spirit : which in JESU , stood presented to the Soul in the Light of Life : taketh it in his Armes of the desire ; and Sprouteth in its desire in the faded disappeared Substantiality , forth , from the pure Element of Heaven ; as a New Life out of Death , and that is CHRIST , Man and God. 48. But that † this Authour sets it down ; That through this Conjunction of Man and Wife , in their Lust-desire ; the Evill Properties and Lust of the Flesh are separated asunder ; and totally sanctified in the Spirit of Christ ; the Love-Spirit of Christ mixeth it self in their Imagination ; and driveth on all Abominations , and worketh in the Imagination this Lust of the Man and Woman , and sanctifieth the Imagination and the Seed , sinne dyeth , and a totall holy child becometh conceived , viz : a Christ little - Child or Infant , that is without blemish and Sinne , moreover God and Man outwardly and inwardly .

summary:
  1 If you respect the eternall decree and determination of God , so they were in Christ , for God did purpose to make Jesus Christ a Mediatour between God and man , by whose bloud they should be saved . so Christ he is our Sun of righteousnesse , take away Christ from a man , and there wil no blossomes of grace bud forth in that mans heart : Adams stock is a barren root , upon which no branch of grace will spring forth ; you can never bring forth any fruit unto God , unlesse you be graffed not upon Adams Stock , but upon the Stock of the root of Jesse ; a man during his unconverted estate , he is the Devils slave , and he never brings forth fruit , till he come to be in Christ ; only in and through Christ , we are enabled to bring forth acceptable fruit unto God.

summary:
  Storms and Whirlwinds , Flames and Thunderbolts ; things not so apt immediately to work upon their understanding as their fear , and that will astonish that they may convince : That the great God make himself known by the Judgments which he executes . That any indeed should commence Religious , and persist with blind Zeal in this or that discriminating Profession without ever considering why they should do so ; is unmanly and absurd : especially when a gross ignorance of the true reasons and grounds of Religion shall be shadowed over with a pretended awe and scrupulousness to enquire about things so sacred .

  The nature, power, deceit, and prevalency of the remainders of indwelling-sin in believers together with the wayes of its working and means of prevention opened, evinced, and applyed with a resolution of sundry cases of conscience thereunto appertaining.

summary:
  But it is one thing for a man to know in general , that there is a Law of Sin : Another thing for a man to have an experience of the power of this Law of sin in himself . Adam had a Law of sin proposed to him in his temptation , but because he had no Law of Sin inbred and working in him , he might have withstood it .
