FIGURE SIX

Here now one of those three Hierarchs, even the most glorious of them, because he was the Created Representative of GOD the Son, commits High Treason, revolts, lets his dark, proud Will-Spirit, in a false Magia, without any Occasion given him from without, out of his own Center fly up on high, above God and all the Hosts of Heaven, to be himself All in All; but he is resisted, and precipitated down, and falls through the Fire into Eternal Darkness, in which he is a mighty Prince over his own Legions, but in reality a poor Prisoner, and an infamous Executioner of the Wrath of God; and may now well be reproached, and asked, How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, Son of the Morning? To which Question a profound, prolix, distinct, most particular and circumstantial Answer is given, in the Aurora, to his eternal Shame and Confusion, which he had hid and covered from the Beginning of the World.
