Excerpt from The Epistles of Jacob Behmen Aliter, Teutonicus Philosophus: Very Useful and Necessary for Those That Read His Writings, and Are Very Full of Excellent and Plaine Instructions How to Attaine to the Life of ChristOthers again, the mysterious Antichrist in Babel, by a selfish illumination, and blind persuasion, hath so deeply captivated and imprisoned, yea, bewildered and bewitched, in his mystery of iniquity and hypocrisy, that they do not only take upon them to contemn and condemn all that seem to contradict their received principles and opinions, but from the workings of the unclean pharisaical spirit in them, tlzey will draw strange conclusions, and perverted meanings from fire words and works of ot/zers, to make them odious and abominable, but these are like unto toads, that turn all they eat into a poisonful nourishment, which they will spit out again upon those that do but touch them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
