The Concentrated Centre of Nature · Passage 48
German
Es ist, ich wil es deutlich sagen, ein geistlich Wasser, ein wässeriger Geist, und ein Wasser des Lebens, welchs Adam und Eva zu ihrem Trost und Verstärckung haben mit aus dem Paradieß genommen, und durch ihre Kinder den Nachkommen überlassen.
English
It is, I shall say plainly, a spiritual water, a watery spirit, and a water of life which Adam and Eve took with them from paradise for their comfort and strengthening, and passed through their children to their descendants.
