121. The sixth property gives understanding in the voice or sound, viz. in the [1] speaking of the word; and the second property of nature is the producer, and also the house, tool , or instrument of the speech or voice: in the second property thep ower and virtue is painful; but in the sixth property it is joyful and pleasant; and the difference between the second and sixth property is in light and darkness, which are in one another, as fire and light; there is no other difference between them.

The Seventh Property ( The Moon 3) )
122. The Seventh property is the substance, that is, the subjectum or house of the other six, in which they all are substantially as the soul in the body: by this we understand especially, as to the light-world, the paradise or budding of the working power.
123. For every property makes unto itself a subject, or [1] object, by its own effluence; and in the seventh all the properties are in a temperature, as in one only substance: and as they all did proceed from the Unity, so they all return again into one ground.
[1] or resemblance
124. And though they work in different kinds and manners, yet here there is but one only substance, whose power and virtue is called tincture; that is, a holy penetrating, growing or springing bud [essence or being]
125. Not that the seventh property is the tincture, but it is the [1] body of it; the power and virtue of the fire and light is the tincture [2] in the substantial body: but the seventh property is the substance which the tincture penetrates and sanctifies; we mean, that it is thus according to the power and virtue of the divine manifestation; but as it is a property of nature, it is the substance of the attracted desire of all properties.

126. It is especially to be [1] observed, that always following the First and the Seventh property are accounted for one; and the Second and Sixth; also the Third and Fifth; and the Fourth is only the dividing mark or [2] bound.
[1] See the table following [2] or limit
127. For according to the manifestation of the Trinity of God, there are but three properties of nature: the first is the desire which belongs to God the Father, yet it is only a spirit; but in the seventh property the desire is substantial.
128. The second is the divine power and virtue, and belongs to God the Son; in the second number it is only a spirit; but in the sixth it is the substantial power and virtue.
129. The third belongs to the Holy Ghost; and in the beginning of the third property it is only a fiery spirit; but in the fifth property the great love is manifested therein.
130. Thus the effluence of the divine manifestation, as to the three properties in the first Principle before the light, [1] is natural; but in the second Principle in the light it is spiritual.

131. Now these are the seven properties in one only ground; and all seven are equally eternal without beginning; none of them can be accounted the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or last; for they are equally eternal without beginning, and have also one eternal beginning from the Unity of God.
132. We must represent this in a typical way, that it may be understood how the one is born out of the other, the better to conceive what the Creator is, and what the life and substance of this world is.
