The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
64
No,
answered
they:
for
there
is
but
a
Divine
Faith,
and
as
for
Reason
it
is
onely
Natural;
but
you
Mortals
are
so
puzled
about
this
Divine
Faith,
and
Natural
Reason,
that
you
do
not
know
well
how
to
distinguish
them,
but
confound
them
both,
which
is
the
cause
you
have
so
many
divine
Philosophers
who
make
a
Gallimafry
both
of
Reason
and
Faith.
Then
she
asked,
Whether
pure
Natural
Philosophers
were
Cabbalists?
They
answered,
No;
but
onely
your
Mystical
or
Divine
Philosophers,
such
as
study
beyond
Sense
and
Reason.
she
enquired
further,
Whether
there
was
any
Cabbala
in
God,
or
whether
God
was
full
of
Idea's?
They
answered,
There
could
be
nothing
in
God,
nor
could
God
be
full
of
any
thing,
either
forms
or
figures,
but
of
himself;
for
God
is
the
Perfection
of
all
things,
and
an
Unexpressible
Being,
beyond
the
conception
of
any
Creature,
either
Natural
or
Supernatural.
Then
I
pray
inform
me,
said
the
Empress,
Whether
the
Jews
Cabbala
or
any
other,
consist
in
Numbers?
The
Spirits
answered,
No:
for
Numbers
are
odd,
and
different,
and
would
make
a
disagreement
in
the
Cabbala.
But,
said
she
again,
Is
it
a
sin
then
not
to
know
or
understand
the
Cabbala?
