The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
63
Then
the
Empress
asked
the
Spirits,
Whether
there
was
a
threefold
Cabbala?
They
answered,
Dee
and
Kelly
made
but
a
two-fold
Cabbala,
to
wit,
of
the
Old
and
New
Testament,
but
others
might
not
onely
make
two
or
three,
but
threescore
Cabbala's,
if
they
pleased.
The
Empress
asked,
Whether
it
was
a
Traditional,
or
meerly
a
Scriptural,
or
whether
it
was
a
Literal,
Philosophical,
or
Moral
Cabbala
some,
answered
they,
did
believe
it
meerly
Traditional,
others
Scriptural,
some
Literal,
and
some
Metaphorical:
but
the
truth
is,
said
they,
'twas
partly
one,
and
partly
the
other;
as
partly
a
Traditional,
partly
a
Scriptural,
partly
Literal,
partly
Metaphorical.
The
Empress
asked
further,
Whether
the
Cabbala
was
a
work
onely
of
Natural
Reason,
or
of
Divine
Inspiration?
Many,
said
the
Spirits,
that
write
Cabbala's
pretend
to
Divine
Inspirations;
but
whether
it
be
so,
or
not,
it
does
not
belong
to
us
to
judg;
onely
this
we
must
needs
confess,
that
it
is
a
work
which
requires
a
good
wit,
and
a
strong
Faith,
but
not
Natural
Reason;
for
though
Natural
Reason
is
most
perswasive,
yet
Faith
is
the
chief
that
is
required
in
Cabbalists.
But,
said
the
Empress,
Is
there
not
Divine
Reason,
as
well
as
there
is
Natural?
