this verfe, “iftcrri *n', that is, let there be light and there was light : in like manner the name Ararita, nj-v-ijok, from this verfe, -inN'itmiran innnN
“ihk, that is, one principal of his unity, one beginning of his individuality, his viciffitude is one thing ; and this name Hacaba. , Nipn, is extracted from this verfe, NimMtpnprv., the holy and blelfed One ; in like manner this name Jefuy w, is found in the heads of thefe two verfes, viz, that is,
until the Meffiah fhall come ; and the other verfe, miDt» p*, that is, his name abides till the end. Thus alfo is the name Amen, jon, extracted from this verfe, pro ffi’D’j-iN, that is, the Lord is the faithful King . Sometimes thefe names are extracted from the ends of words, as the fame Amen from this verfe, D'yiznm that is, the wicked not fo j but the letters are tranfpofed : fo, by the final letters of this verfe, nopty that is, to me what ? or what is his name ? is found the name Tetragrammaton : in all thefe a letter is put for a word, and a letter extracted from a word, either from the beginning, end, or where you pleafe ; and fometimes thefe names are extracted from all the letters, one by one, even as thofe feven-two names of God are extracted from thofe three verfes of Exodus, beginning from thefe three words, d> wt tyDr*, the firft and the laft verfes being written from the right to the left j but the middle contrariwife, from the left to the fight, as we fhall fhew hereafter ; and fo fometimes a word is extracted from a word, or a name from a name, by the tranfpofition of letters, as Mefia , rvtyo, from Ifmah , now*, and Michael from Malachi , onVd ; but fometimes by changing the alphabet, which the Cabalifts call Ziruph, *p*v2f ; fo from the name Tetragrammaton, mrr, are drawn forth yssn, Maz-Paz, inn, Kuzu. Sometimes, by reafon of the equa- lity of the numbers, names are changed, as Merattron , p-iDton, pro Sadai, nw, for both of them make three hundred and fourteen ; fo Jiai, »«*’, and El, are equal in number, for both make thirty-one ; and thefe are the hidden fecrets, concerning which it is moft difficult to judge, or to deliver a perfect fcience ; neither can they be underftood or taught in any other language but the Hebrew. Therefore, thefe facred words have not their power in magical operations from themfelves, as they are words, but from the occult divine powers working by them in the mind of thofe who by faith adhere to them.
