from them; but was like the Image of the Sun, which appears in a Glass,
upon which it is reflected from a Glass which receiv'd that Reflection
from another Glass plac'd opposite to the Sun. And he saw in this
Essence too, the same Splendor and Delight which he had observ'd in the
former. And so in all the Spheres he observ'd distinct, immaterial
Essences, every one of which was not any of those which went before it,
not yet different from them; but was like the Image of the Sun reflected
from one Glass to another, according to the Order of the Spheres. And he
saw in every one of these Essences, such Beauty, Splendor, Pleasure and
Joy, as Eye hath not seen, nor Ear heard, nor hath it enter'd into the
Heart of Man to conceive; and so downwards, till he came to the lower
World, subject to Generation and Corruption, which comprehends all that

Face seventy thousand Mouths, and every Mouth seventy thousand Tongues,
with which it praised, sanctified and glorified incessantly the Essence
of that _ONE, TRUE BEING_. And he saw that this Essence (which he had
suppos'd to be many, tho' it was not) had the same Perfection and
Pleasure, which he had seen in the other; and that this Essence was like
the Image of the Sun, which appears in fluctuating Water, which has that
Image reflected upon it from the last and lowermost of those Glasses, to
which the Reflection came, according to the foremention'd Order, from
the first Glass which was set opposite to the Sun. Then he perceiv'd
that he himself had a separate Essence, which one might call a part of
that Essence which had seventy thousand Faces, if that Essence had been
capable of Division; and if that Essence had not been created in time,
one might say it was the very same; and had it not been join'd to the
