Four Tables of Divine Revelation

HOW sad an Account have they to give, whose Throats, like open Sepulchres, blast with their Breath (as far as their Venom reaches) the most eminent Gifts of God in Men that bear his Image? Of which did they know the Danger, it could not but make them tremble, to consider how their poisoned Arrows will return and stick in their own Souls : Yet some have not feared maliciously to defame this deep illuminated Man of God. A Man, whose Writings manifestly appear to have been the Dictates of God's Spirit. And the Will of God was made the Rule of his Life, resigning himself to the divine Will, to will and work nothing but according to the Will of God.

The 28 images in the original books are over 140 years old. In the old books, the pictures were foldouts and cutouts. Over the years the images have degraded. We chose the best images from four different books. Additional Jacob Behem illustrations have been added that were not in the original book, for your pleasure. (53 total illustrations)

Yet against the Spirit of this pious Man (as if they feared an Eclipse of their Evening Splendor, by the Daylight of his Writings) have some (especially among the Lamps of our modern Sects) spit forth their Venom, in Aspersions so injuriously false, and palpably absurd, that neither Reason nor Religion, Prudence or Piety, could yield any Motive thereto, but only the Monster of their own Frailty.

Thus does the Prince of the Air blind Men with Self-Love; that though in others they would seem to abhor Unrighteousness, yet they themselves can rashly proceed to Sentence, before they understand him, and some before they have read a Leaf in his Writings. Whereas others that have seriously studied him, and (with the divine Blessing) understood much of him, can justly and clearly evince the true Concordance of his Writings with the Word of God in Holy Writ, and their Inconsistence with conceited Sects, corrupt Doctrines, both of our own and former Ages, and all heretical Opinions whatever.

TGS Publishing Note:
This is a facsimile book of an original printing. TGS invested in software and equipment in late 2008 that really increased the quality and speed to create facsimile books. This investment helps overcome many problems of reproducing many older books, such as yellowed pages, stains, see-thru or onion skin type paper, colored paper, brown inks, etc. These are scanned pages, not 'copied' pages, and the quality of print truly represents the quality of the print of the original book, though we may have been able to enhance or darken the print. We are proud to be able to preserve this work through new technology.
