These receive, through the Power of God, the Influences of the Cœlestial Bodies, and of their respective Intelligences.

XXVII. Thau is the Symbol of the little World, Man ; because as Man, with respect to this World, was the Being created last, so is this Letter the last of the Hebrew-Alphabet. He is govern'd of God, through the Qualities of the First Matter, and according to the Influences of the Stars, and likewise by Guardian-Angels, which attend him, and which, in Hebrew, are call'd Ischim, i. e. Strong Men; who are said to have been the Last of the Angelic Creation, as Man was the Last of This. Such are the References of the Letters of the Hebrew-Alphabet, towards the Accomplishment of the Mysteries

of the Cabala, extracted, not without

great Labour, from the Writings of Rabbi Akkiva, who was, it seems, a most profound Cabalist, and who hath been already frequently mention'd in the Course of these Papers. They pass, from God, down to all the Stages of the known Creation; the Letter Aleph, the First in the Hebrew-Alphabet, being referr'd to God, who is the First Cause of all Things, and who, through his unsearchable Power and Judgment, comprehends, directs, and governs all Things; working by, and diffusing his Power upon, Second Causes; and, from them, deriving his Power upon Third Causes, &c. Which Causes are the Sacred Hosts and Principalities;. who have their different Degrees of Influence; rising gradually, one Class above another, to different Stages of Power and Perfection.
