Lumen de Lumine

There is a Mountain situated in the Midst of the Earth, or Center of the world, which is both small, and Great. It is soft, also above measure Hard and Stonie. It is far off, and neer at hand, but by the providence of God, Invisible. In it are hidden most ample Treasures, which the world is not able to value. This Mountain by Envie of the Devill, who alwaies opposeth the Glory of God, and the Happinesse of Man, is compassed about with very cruell Beasts and other Ravenous Birds, which make the way thither both difficult, and dangerous: and therefore hitherto, because the Time is not yet come, the way thither could not be sought after, nor found out. But now at last the way is to be found by those that are worthy, but notwithstanding by every man's self-labour, and Indeavours.
