THE ARGUMENTA
-
RINTRAH roars and shakes hisB
fires in the burdenM airC
Hungry clouds swag on the deepD
-
Once meek and in a perilous pathE
-
The just man kept his course alongF
-
The Vale of DeathG
-
Roses are planted where thorns growH
-
And on the barren heathI
-
Sing the honey beesJ
-
Then the perilous path was plantedK
And a river and a springL
On every cliff and tombM
-
-
-
-
-
THE MARRIAGE OFN
-
And on the bleached bonesO
Red clay brought forthP
Till the villain left the paths of easeJ
To walk in perilous paths and driveQ
The just man into barren climesR
-
Now the sneaking serpent walksS
In mild humilityT
-
And the just man rages in the wildsU
Where Uons roamV
-
Rintrah roars and shakes his fires inW
-
the burdened airC
Hungry clouds swag on the deepD
-
As a new heaven is begun and it isB
now thirty three years since its adventX
the Eternal Hell revives And loH
Swedenborg is the angel sitting atY
the tomb his writings are the UnenW
clothes folded up Now is the dominW
ion of Edom and the return of AdamZ
into Paradise See Isaiah xxxiv andA2

HEAVEN AND HELLC2
-
Without contraries is no progresB
sion Attraction and repulsion reaD2
son and energy love and hate areE2
necessary to human existenceB
-
From these contraries spring whatF2
the religious call Good and EvilG2
Good is the passive that obeys reasonW
Evil is the active springing fromZ
EnergyT
-
Good is heaven Evil is hellC2

THE MARRIAGE OFN
-
-
-
THE VOICE OF THE DEVILG2
-
All Bibles or sacred codes have beenW
the cause of the following errorsB
-
That man has two real existingL
principles viz a Body and a SoulH2
-
That Energy called Evil is aloneW
from the Body and that Reason calledI2
Good is alone from the SoulH2
-
That God will torment man inW
Eternity for following his EnergiesB
-
But the following contraries toJ2
these are trueJ2
-
Man has no Body distinct from hisB
Soul For that called Body is a porK2
tion of Soul discerned by the five sensesB
the chief inlets of Soul in this ageL2
-
Energy is the only life and is fromZ
the Body and Reason is the boundM2
or outward circumference of EnergyT
-
-
-
-
-
HEAVEN AND HELLC2
-
Energy is Eternal DelightN2
-
Those who restrain desire do soB
because theirs is weak enough to beT
restrained and the restrainer orK2
reason usurps its place and governsB
the unwillingL
-
And being restrained it by degreesB
becomes passive till it is only theO2
shadow of desireP2
-
The history of this is written inW
Paradise Lost and the Governor orK2
Reason is called MessiahO2
-
And the original Archangel or posB
sessor of the command of the heavenlyT
host is called the Devil or Satan andA2
his children are called Sin and DeathG
-
But in the book of Job Milton'sB
Messiah is called SatanW
-
For this history has been adopted byQ2
both partiesB
-
It indeed appeared to Reason as ifR2
-
-
-
-
-
THE MARRIAGE OFN
-
desire was cast out but the Devil'sB
account is that the Messiah fell andA2
formed a heaven of what he stole fromZ
the abyssB
-
This is shown in the Gospel whereC
he prays to the Father to send theO2
Comforter or desire that Reason mayD2
have ideas to build on the JehovahO2
of the Bible being no other than heT
who dwells in flaming fire KnowB
that after Christ's death he becameS2
JehovahO2
-
But in Milton the Father is DestinyT
the Son a ratio of the five senses andA2
the Holy Ghost vacuumM
-
Note The reason Milton wroteT2
in fetters when he wrote of AngelsB
and God and at Uberty when ofN
Devils and Hell is because he wasB
a true poet and of the Devil's partyT
without knowing itU2

A MEMORABLE FANCYT
-
As I was walking among the firesB
of Hell delighted with the enjoymentsB
of Genius which to Angels look likeV2
torment and insanity I collected someZ
of their proverbs thinking that as theO2
sayings used in a nation mark itsB
character so the proverbs of Hell showB
the nature of infernal wisdom betterP2
than any description of buildings orK2
garmentsB
-
When I came home on the abyssB
of the five senses where a flat sidedK
steep frowns over the present world IQ2
saw a mighty Devil folded in blackW2
clouds hovering on the sides of theO2
rock with corroding fires he wroteT2
the following sentence now perceivedX2
by the minds of men and read byQ2
them on earthY2
