The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
65
God
is
so
merciful,
answered
they,
and
so
just,
that
he
will
never
damn
the
ignorant,
and
save
onely
those
that
pretend
to
know
him
and
his
secret
Counsels
by
their
Cabbala's;
but
he
loves
those
that
adore
and
worship
him
with
fear
and
reverence,
and
with
a
pure
heart.
she
asked
further,
which
of
these
two
Cabbala's
was
most
approved,
the
Natural,
or
Theological?
The
Theological,
answered
they,
is
mystical,
and
belongs
onely
to
Faith;
but
the
Natural
belongs
to
Reason.
Then
she
asked
them,
Whether
Divine
Faith
was
made
out
of
Reason?
No
answered
they,
for
Faith
proceeds
onely
from
a
Divine
saving
Grace,
which
is
a
peculiar
Gift
of
God.
How
comes
it
then,
replied
she,
that
Men,
even
those
that
are
of
several
opinions,
have
Faith
more
or
less?
A
Natural
Belief,
answered
they,
is
not
a
Divine
Faith.
But,
proceeded
the
Empress,
How
are
you
sure
that
God
cannot
be
known?
The
several
Opinions
you
Mortals
have
of
God,
answered
they,
are
sufficient
witnesses
thereof.
Well
then,
replied
the
Empress,
leaving
this
inquisitive
knowledg
of
God,
I
pray
inform
me,
whether
you
Spirits
give
motion
to
Natural
Bodies?
No,
answered
they;
but,
on
the
contrary,
Natural
material
bodies
give
Spirits
motion;
for
we
Spirits,
being
incorporeal,
have
no
motion
but
from
our
Corporeal
Vehicles,
so
that
we
move
by
the
help
of
our
Bodies,
and
not
the
Bodies
by
our
help;
for
pure
Spirits
are
immovable.
