	-
Sing the honey bees	J
	-
Then the perilous path was planted	K
And a river and a spring	L
On every cliff and tomb	M
	-
	-
	-
	-
	-
THE MARRIAGE OF	N
	-
And on the bleached bones	O
Red clay brought forth	P
Till the villain left the paths of ease	J
To walk in perilous paths and drive	Q
The just man into barren climes	R
	-
Now the sneaking serpent walks	S
In mild humility	T

And the just man rages in the wilds	U
Where Uons roam	V

Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in	W
	-
the burdened air	C
Hungry clouds swag on the deep	D
	-
As a new heaven is begun and it is	B
now thirty three years since its advent	X
the Eternal Hell revives And lo	H

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 MARRIAGE OF	N
	-
	-
	-
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

them on earth	Y2
