All bibles or sacred codes have been the causes
of the following errors:
1. that man has two real existing principles:
viz: a body & a soul
2. that energy call'd evil is alone from the
body,& that reason,
call'd good, is alone from the soul.
3. that God will torment man in eternity for
following his energies.
But following contraries to these are true:
1. man has no body distinct from his soul; for
that call'd body is a portion
of soul discern'd by the five senses, the chief
inlets of soul in this age.
2. energy is the only life and is from the body
and reason is the bound and outward circumference
of energy.
3. energy is eternal delight.

Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs
is weak enough to be
restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps
its place & governs the
unwilling. And being restrain'd, it by degrees
becomes passive, till it is
only the shadow of desire. The history of this is
written in Paradise
Lost,& the governor or reason is call'd Messiah.
and the original
Archangel, or possessor of the command of
heavenly host, is call'd the
Devil or Satan, and his children are call'd Sin &
Death. But in the book
of Job, Milton's Messiah is call'd Satan. For
this history has been
adopted by both parties. It indeed appear'd to
reason as if desire was
cast out, but the Devil's account is, that the
Messiah fell & formed a
heaven of what He stole from the abyss. This is
shewn in the gospel, where
He prays to the Father to send the comforter, or
desire, that reason may
have ideas to build on, the Jehovah of the bible
being no other than (the
Devil den). he who dwells in flaming fire, know
that after Christ's
death, he became Jehovah. But in Milton, the
father is destiny, the son, a
ratio of the five senses,& the holy-ghost,
vacuum! Note: the reason
Milton wrote in ferrets when he wrote of angels &
God. And at liberty when
of devils & hell, is because he was a true poet
and of the Devil's party
without knowing it.
