Book Mode

Original English

L. If, after the Separation of the Spirit from the superfluous Waters, the World, in which it is contain'd, does not appear mighty clear, and full of light, and of the same brightness with our Celestial Water, it is a sign, that the Separation is not fully perform'd, the Spirit being still intermixt with the Waters.

Modern English

L. After the spirit has been separated from the superfluous waters, the world containing it should appear exceedingly clear, full of light, and as bright as our celestial water. If it does not, it is a sign that the separation is incomplete and the spirit remains mixed with the waters.
