is appeased in Salt, and agreeth with its enemy, Water; as Earth in Saltpeter doth with its contra-opposite the Aire; by reason of the water that is betweene them, for Saltpeter participates of the nature of Brimstone, and of Fire, for that it burnes; and of Salt, for that it resolves into water. For saith _Heber_, it is the property of Salts, and Alums, to bee dissolved into water, sith they were made thereof. But of this more to the purpose hereafter in its place. [Sidenote: Pag. 29. _Encyclides ab_ ἐγκυκλόω round.] [Sidenote: Eph. 4. 22, 24.] The meditations of the Covertures, and revestments are of no small importance, to mount from things sensible, to things intelligible, for they are all infolded one in another, as an _Encyclie_ or a spirall Moone. _Zohar_ makes these revestments double, the one _mounting_ and devesting its selfe, _Put off the old man, and put on the new_; for no spirituall thing descending downwards, operates without a vestment; _Sit yee in Jerusalem till you be clad with power from above_, _Luk._ 24. 49. And in this case the body envelopeth and reclotheth the spirit, the spirit the soule, the soul the intellect, the intellect the Temple, the Temple the Throne, the Throne the _Sechinah_, or the glory and presence of God, which shineth in the Tabernacle. In descending, this glory is shut out from the Throne, and from the Arke of the Covenant, which is within the Tabernacle, or Intellect, the Tabernacle within the Temple, which is our Soule; _Yee are the Temple of God_, the Temple is in _Jerusalem_, our vital spirit, _Jerusalem_ in _Palestine_, our body, and _Palestine_ in the midst of the earth whence our body is composed.
