| HEAVEN AND HELL | C2 |
| - | |
| Without contraries is no progres | B |
| sion Attraction and repulsion rea | D2 |
| son and energy love and hate are | E2 |
| necessary to human existence | B |
| - | |
| From these contraries spring what | F2 |
| the religious call Good and Evil | G2 |
| Good is the passive that obeys reason | W |
| Evil is the active springing from | Z |
| Energy | T |
| - | |
| Good is heaven Evil is hell | C2 |

| THE VOICE OF THE DEVIL | G2 |
| - | |
| All Bibles or sacred codes have been | W |
| the cause of the following errors | B |
| - | |
| That man has two real existing | L |
| principles viz a Body and a Soul | H2 |
| - | |
| That Energy called Evil is alone | W |
| from the Body and that Reason called | I2 |
| Good is alone from the Soul | H2 |
| - | |
| That God will torment man in | W |
| Eternity for following his Energies | B |
| - | |
| But the following contraries to | J2 |
| these are true | J2 |
| - | |
| Man has no Body distinct from his | B |
| Soul For that called Body is a por | K2 |
| tion of Soul discerned by the five senses | B |
| the chief inlets of Soul in this age | L2 |
| - | |
| Energy is the only life and is from | Z |
| the Body and Reason is the bound | M2 |
| or outward circumference of Energy | T |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| HEAVEN AND HELL | C2 |
| - | |
| Energy is Eternal Delight | N2 |
| - | |
| Those who restrain desire do so | B |
| because theirs is weak enough to be | T |
| restrained and the restrainer or | K2 |
| reason usurps its place and governs | B |
| the unwilling | L |
| - | |
| And being restrained it by degrees | B |
| becomes passive till it is only the | O2 |
| shadow of desire | P2 |
| - | |
| The history of this is written in | W |
| Paradise Lost and the Governor or | K2 |
| Reason is called Messiah | O2 |
| - | |
| And the original Archangel or pos | B |
| sessor of the command of the heavenly | T |
| host is called the Devil or Satan and | A2 |
| his children are called Sin and Death | G |
| - | |
| But in the book of Job Milton's | B |
| Messiah is called Satan | W |
| - | |
| For this history has been adopted by | Q2 |
| both parties | B |
| - | |
| It indeed appeared to Reason as if | R2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| THE MARRIAGE OF | N |
| - | |
| desire was cast out but the Devil's | B |
| account is that the Messiah fell and | A2 |
| formed a heaven of what he stole from | Z |
| the abyss | B |
| - | |
| This is shown in the Gospel where | C |
| he prays to the Father to send the | O2 |
| Comforter or desire that Reason may | D2 |
| have ideas to build on the Jehovah | O2 |
| of the Bible being no other than he | T |
| who dwells in flaming fire Know | B |
| that after Christ's death he became | S2 |
| Jehovah | O2 |
| - | |
| But in Milton the Father is Destiny | T |
| the Son a ratio of the five senses and | A2 |
| the Holy Ghost vacuum | M |
| - | |
| Note The reason Milton wrote | T2 |
| in fetters when he wrote of Angels | B |
| and God and at Uberty when of | N |
| Devils and Hell is because he was | B |
| a true poet and of the Devil's party | T |
| without knowing it | U2 |

| A MEMORABLE FANCY | T |
| - | |
| As I was walking among the fires | B |
| of Hell delighted with the enjoyments | B |
| of Genius which to Angels look like | V2 |
| torment and insanity I collected some | Z |
| of their proverbs thinking that as the | O2 |
| sayings used in a nation mark its | B |
| character so the proverbs of Hell show | B |
| the nature of infernal wisdom better | P2 |
| than any description of buildings or | K2 |
| garments | B |
| - | |
| When I came home on the abyss | B |
| of the five senses where a flat sided | K |
| steep frowns over the present world I | Q2 |
| saw a mighty Devil folded in black | W2 |
| clouds hovering on the sides of the | O2 |
| rock with corroding fires he wrote | T2 |
| the following sentence now perceived | X2 |
| by the minds of men and read by | Q2 |
| them on earth | Y2 |
