Lumen de Lumine

Whiles I was taken up with this strange Scene, there appeared in the middle purple Colours, a suddain Commotion, and out of their very Center did sprout a certaine flowrie Light, as it were the flame of a Taper. Very bright it was, sparkling, and twinckling like the Day-star. The Beams of this new Planet issuing forth in small Skeins and Rivulets look'd like Threds of Silver, which being reflected against the Trees, discover'd a Curious green Umbrage, and I found my self in a Grove of Bays. The Texture of the Branches was so even, the Leaves so thick, and in that conspiring order, it was not a wood, but a Building. I conceived it indeed to be the Temple of Nature, where she had joyn'd Discipline to her Doctrine.
