The branch that drawes its juice or sap, by the root, is the same as the weik, where the fire is maintained by the liquor which it drawes unto it, and the white flame, are the branches and boughes, clad with leaves, the flowers and fruits, whereunto tends the finall end of a tree, are the white flame when all comes to bee reduced: wherefore _Moses_ said that _thy God is a consuming fire_, as it is true; for the fire consumes and devoures all that which is under it, and upon which it exerciseth its action. And therefore very proper in the Hebrew text _Elohenu_, thy God, and not _Anonenu_, thy Lord, because the Prophet was in this superiour white light, which neither devoureth, nor can be devoured. And the Israelites were the blew lights, who endeavour to lift up themselves, and unite to him under the law: for the ordinary of this blew light, inclining rather to blacknesse, then to whitenesse; it is true that is constituted as in the midst, and to ruine and destroy all that it layes hold on, and whereunto it adheres. But if sinners submit thereunto, then the white light shall bee called _Adonenu_, our Lord, and not _Elohenu_, our God, for that it domineers and devours it. And it is this blew flame designed by the little and last ה _He_ of the sacred venerable foure lettered _Jehovah_, which assembles and unites with the three first והי _Jehu_ the white light, which shineth in a most cleare simplicity Trin-one, having under it the blackish, ruddy, & azure colour of the little ה _He_, which is the humane nature consisting of the four Elements, for that it is sometimes represented by 4 ד, the fourth letter of the Alphabet, and which marketh the number of 4. You will say I have brought you here a prolixe place of _Zohar_, I do avow it, but it must have a more ample explication, for there are great mysteries covered thereunder. This _Rabbi_ superlative to all others, endeavouring in his profound and abstracted meditations which transcend all to elevate our spirits by the similitude of a light, to the knowledge of spirituall things, which differs not from our principall purpose, which is fire and its effects. Of this white light, and of its collaterals; other _Rabbins_ speake, as _Kamban_, _Gerundensis_; That by the _Caballe_ it appears unto us, that the Scripture was an obscure and darke fire, upon the backe of white fire, and marvailously resplendent. It is the fire (say they) of the holy Spirit, consuming our iniquities, denoted by the red inflamed ardor, and the blew and azure flame, which is the strange fire, as Saint _Ambrose_ very well expounds it in his fourth Epistle to _Simplician_.
