It is the visible World, an Image and Quintessence, or Compound of all
that the World is; and the visible World is a manifestation of the
inward spiritual World, come out of the Eternal Light, and out of the
Eternal Darkness, out of the spiritual compaction or connection; and it
is also an Image or Figure of Eternity, whereby Eternity hath made
itself visible; where Self-Will and resigned Will, viz., Evil and Good,
work one with the other.
Such a substance is the outward Man. For God created Man out of the
outward World, and breathed into him the inward spiritual World for a
Soul and an intelligent Life, and therefore in the things of the outward
World, Man can receive and work Evil and Good.
