Lyrics

1) man has no body distinct from his soul; for that call'd body is a portion
 of soul discern'd by the five senses, the chief inlets of soul in this age.
 2) energy is the only life and is from the body
 and reason is the bound and outward circumference of energy.
 3) energy is eternal delight.
 Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be
 restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the
 unwilling. And being restrain'd, it by degrees becomes passive, till it is
 only the shadow of desire. The history of this is written in Paradise
 Lost,& the governor or reason is call'd Messiah. and the original
 Archangel, or possessor of the command of heavenly host, is call'd the
 Devil or Satan, and his children are call'd Sin & Death. But in the book
 of Job, Milton's Messiah is call'd Satan. For this history has been
 adopted by both parties. It indeed appear'd to reason as if desire was
 cast out, but the Devil's account is, that the Messiah fell & formed a
 heaven of what He stole from the abyss. This is shewn in the gospel, where
 He prays to the Father to send the comforter, or desire, that reason may
 have ideas to build on, the Jehovah of the bible being no other than (the
 Devil den). he who dwells in flaming fire, know that after Christ's
 death, he became Jehovah. But in Milton, the father is destiny, the son, a
 ratio of the five senses,& the holy-ghost, vacuum! Note: the reason
 Milton wrote in ferrets when he wrote of angels & God. And at liberty when
 of devils & hell, is because he was a true poet and of the Devil's party
 without knowing it.
