The Signature of All Things — trans. John Ellistone (1651)

7. God would change the Humanity (after it was become earthly, and had awakened the poisonful Mercury in the Love-Property, which [poisonful Mercury] had devoured the Love, and changed it into itself) again into the divine heavenly Property, and make Heaven of the human Earth, of the four Elements only one in one Desire, and change the Wrath of God in the human Property into Love.

8. Now his Anger was a Might of the Fire and Wrath, and was inflamed in Man, and therefore there must be right Earnestness to withstand the same, and change it again into Love: The Love must enter into the Anger, and wholly give itself in unto the Wrath; it would not be enough that God should remain in Heaven, and only look upon the Humanity with Love; it could not be, that the Anger and Wrath should thereby yield up its Might and Strength, and freely give itself unto the Love: As the Fire is not made better by the Light, it still holds its Wrath notwithstanding in itself; but when a meek Essence (as Water) comes into the Fire, then the Fire goes out.

9. Even so heavenly divine Essentiality (understand heavenly Water, which the Tincture of the Fire and Light changes into Blood) must enter into the wrathful Fire of God, and become the Fire's Food, so that the Fire of God Might burn from another Essence; for Water could not have done it; the Fire does not burn in the Water, but the meek oleous Property of the Fire and Light in the Essence of divine Meekness in the Love-Desire, that did effect it.

10. The human Fire-Life consists in the Blood, and therein rules the Wrath of God; now another Blood, which was born out of God's Love-Essence, must enter into the angry human Blood; they must go both together into the Death of the Wrath, and the Wrath of God must be drowned in the divine Blood, and therefore the outward Humanity in Christ must die, that it Might not any more live in the Wrath's Property, but that the heavenly Blood's Mercury, viz. the speaking Word, Might alone live in the outward Humanity, and Solely rule in peculiar divine Power in the outward and inward Humanity; that the Self Might cease in the Humanity, and God's Spirit Might be all in all, and the Self only his Instrument, whereby he makes what he pleases; that (I say) the Self-hood Might be solely God's Instrument, and wholly in Resignation; for God has not created Man to be his own Lord, but his Servant: He will have Angels under Obedience, and not Devils in their own Fire-Might.

11. Now when his Love would give itself into Death, and deprive Death of its Might, then the two Worlds, viz. the Father's Fire-World, with the outward visible World, and also the divine Love-World with the divine heavenly Essentiality, that is, with heavenly Flesh and Blood, and also with corrupted Flesh and Blood, were Formed into one Person. God became Man, and made Man to God: The Seed of the Woman, viz. of the heavenly Virginity, which disappeared in Adam, and also the corrupted Man's Seed in the Anger, viz. Mary's Seed, were Formed into one Person, which was Christ; and the Seed of the Woman, viz. of the Virgin of God, understand the heavenly Essentiality, should bruise the Head of the Serpent, understand, the Wrath of God in the corrupted Man; the head is the Might of God's Anger; the divine Man, understand the divine Property, should change the earthly into itself, and turn the Earth to Heaven.

12. Now when the Person was born, Heaven stood in the Earth of Man. Now the Incarnation could not have done it alone, there must be yet after this another Earnestness; for as long as Christ walked on the Earth, the Humanity which was from Mary's Property was not almighty, but the Humanity from God [was omni-potent], they were set opposite one against the other in two Principles, yet not shut up, but both manifest in each other, the Love against the Anger, and the Anger against the Love.
