Opus Mago-Cabbalisticum Et Theosophicum In Which The Origin, Nature 

By Georg Von Welling, 1655

ON RELIGION, ACCORDING TO THE CLEAR AND PRECISE MEANING OF SACRED SCRIPTURE, AND ON THE TRUE MAGO-CABBALA, BASED ON THE SAME

PART I

In the name of God we now move to a topic, which will surely earn us the censure of orthodox scholars. Many of these gentlemen believe they alone have the right and ability to teach and write about theological matters, and that priests cannot err in matters of the Law. Thus they will attack anyone who is not a member of their guild the moment he dares to speak on such topics. 

They will criticize, fault, judge and condemn in a most unpleasant manner anything he might say that doesn't conform with their ideas. And if they cannot find anything in his statement to criticize or condemn, they are mean enough to simply reject the author's work because he is not a member of their order and was not educated like them in their discipline at the best schools, which they feel gives them the privilege of speaking and writing about theology. 

However, neither Christ the Lord nor his disciples came from their order of priests and theologians, nor did Christ and his true teachers and disciples attend the top schools of theology. Rather, the disciples studied in the school of Christ and his Holy Spirit. Therefore, no upstanding and enlightened theologian would approve of the insane and downright idolatrous illusions of the orthodox heretic-makers. And so we will not expect a reasonable judgment from them, based on the rules of Christ. 

Their mocking and faulting will not affect us. 

And so, let us move on to our principle purpose here.
