Chapter 173:
I Delight in the Strong
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. I TELL YOU there is mercy in being politic; I tell you there is honor in knowing the adversary and the work of his hands; I tell you there is profit in beholding the world and declaring for its welfare.
2. Are we not brethren laboring together that the hidden shall be marked, that the righteous shall be given that which they have prospered?
3. How else are ye souls that do gain benediction?
4. I tell you times come when the enemy pursueth you; he driveth you forth; he giveth you mockery.
5. He saith unto you, Who is greater than I, your enemy? have I not seized you? do not my minions guard you?
6. Ye do laugh him to scorn.
7. What of his bindings, that they should impale you? What of his mockeries that they should deflect you?
8. I say that in that hour ye shall take counsel among yourselves, saying, Doth service unto the Father comprise that which is false? are we slaves to a caprice that these lashings disturb us? who are these who bind us but the arbiters of vomits? must their word be as law? wherein do they rule over us? hath the Father set them up?
9. I tell you, beloved, they do lash you in fear of you; they perceive your bright diadem, but lo, they cannot grasp it.
10. I tell you to be of stout heart and good courage, but arise not in hatred declaring for your honor.
11. So live that men shall see your good works and desire to be likened to you, that wheresoever ye do dwell, on that place cometh blessing, that those of the Beast shall depart from your presence, that the temple of Earth may be purged for my advent.
12. Have I given the least of you a commission to sit upon a little star alone and dwell on your own goodness? What of that warfare that casteth down the proud? have you not armor in it?
13. Whence cometh this humor that saith, I will mind my own text and fix mine own harness; mayhap the tumult findeth me not out; mayhap I win this contest by good wishes toward the lawless; mayhap the proud will cast me their vestments?
14. A folly, all of it!
15. I have said unto the circumspect, Arise and gird on weapons! Stride forth and cast glance on the doers of iniquities! Strike them in their treasonings, but see to it whilst ye strike that the harmless keep their distance!
16. Are my cohorts straw effigies?
17. I tell you, beloved, I delight in the strong, for thereby are they strong that they have harkened to my witcheries.
18. I have given them a lore, I have feathered them a bonnet, I have opened a cavern and shown them their sanctuary.
19. Have I done these things to mock them? have I opened mine heart and taken them into it to have them befoul it by the wettings of infancies? . . .
20. I seek manly men and noble women who give not their hostages to manifest alchemies, who ride not a tempest in frail and little chariots, who say unto themselves, The earth is our Prince's and we sweep it as a household!
21. Whenever did vermin agree to such sweepings?
22. My beloved, know sense! Know the fond benediction, that those come to glory who take glory as their birthright, . . who stride forth from a strong house, who laugh a strong laughter, who deal lusty blows that the earth may know purity.
