Jakob Böhme

For Man is known herein by his daily Practice, also by his Course and Discourse; for the Upper Instrument, which is most strongly drawn, is always played upon: Thus also it is with a Beast that is wild, but when it is over-awed and tamed, and brought to another Property, it does not easily shew its first innate Form, unless it be stirred up, and then it breaks forth, and appears above all other Forms.

Every Thing has its Mouth to Manifestation; and this is the Language of Nature,

Nature has given to every Thing its Language, according to its Essence and Form

for each Thing manifests its Mother

And we are to understand how the Cure of each Thing consists in the Assimulate; for in the Assimulate arises the Satisfaction of the Will, viz. its highest Joy, for each Thing desires a Will of its Likeness, and by the contrary Will it is discomfited; but if it obtains a Will of its Likeness, it rejoices in the Assimulate, and therein falls into Rest, and the Enmity is turned into Joy.
