Eccho to the Voice from Heaven pag. 20. 22. Comparing this trouble of mine by Kindred to that of my Saviour's who was in a like manner dealt with by his own Kindred I taking it to be unto me a similitude of my Saviours grave I rested confidently that I should be delivered the third day the first and second day came and I had nothing when I did ask for something but threatning words and by that the third was come I was very faint and as I lay upon my Bed the third day in the morning expecting some sign of deliverance from God there came in at the Window a round Cloud in Colour like unto the Rain Bow and it covered me abiding upon me about a quarter of an hour and when it came upon me I was so revived as if I had eaten all the Delicacies in the World and after a quarter of an hour the Cloud departed out of the window in the same manner as it came in untill it ascended out of my sight Ibid. pag. 33. 23. He answered You said Woe be to them that are not of this House shortly meaning the Queens Chappel I said Friend you err as the Jews did for I did not mean the Chappel but this House of my Body and of my Faith and Judgment Ibid. pag. 43. 24. I said I believe we shall be better acquainted for you are the King's Secretary and I am God's Secretary To Secretary Windebank ibid. pag. 45. 25. William Heyfer reading a Book called the Anatomizing of the Common-Prayer Book which I disputed against but not being able longer to heare him read such Blasphemies again the truth I cried out saying Lord for thy truths sake shew thy displeasure against this wicked Book and as I spake a mighty flash of fire struck against the window put all in a fright and the fellow cast away his Book Ibid. pag. 51. 26. I had the same Spirit to declare the Scripture as did Pen them Ibid. pag. 54. 27. When Green the Recorder asked me what I was suppose I had answered him saying I am the Lord thy God thou shalt have no other God but me I am sure I had not sinned in it Ibid. pag. 67. 28. As I was desiring God to shew me a figure of the Judgment to come and the Glory that is to follow I fell into a Trance that I seemed to be at Maysellan-kadder-ruse where I was brought up and I was with my elder Brother by the River-side it was a glorious Day about Two in the Afternoon but on a sudden my Brother was gone I knew not how nor where and as I lifted up mine eyes again the Sun by degrees became dark so that the Stars appeared about it at which darkness the Sheep did cry and run to seek a shelter in holes of the Rocks as they use to do in those parts when a darkness comes before a storm and all the light of Heaven was taken away Then appeared by a mad-man's house that lived there when I was a Boy a great Bonfire and people making merry about it but as I still waited for some light above I espied a little white Cloud breaking out in the North-east after which the Sky appeared and upon the Sky appeared the King's Arms as it is upon blue in some Churches and it rid upon the Heavens very terrible towards Southwest and as the light appeared abundance of waters sprung out of a dry Hill Northwards Ibid. p. 107 108. 29. The interpretation of it is thus My Brother did signifie Jesus Christ appearing and after absenting himself for a time from his people Ibid. 30. I beheld and saw a peaceable modest young Woman standing on a Plain another of a malicious Countenance and looked enviously upon the modest Woman and she took up a small Pipe as it were of green Glass but I was given to understand it was the sting of a Serpent and she did put it in her mouth and blew it against the modest woman and they came close together and did blow one against the other so furiously that a Wheel of sire in colour like the Rainbow covered them both that I thought she had consumed the modest woman but at last she that took up the sting was consumed to nothing and the modest woman remained peaceably and did shine with beauty far more glorious than before The first woman signifies the Church of England the other the Presbyterians that took up the Sting against the Church of England but at last the Church of England gets the Victory and the other is consumed Ibid. p. 113. 31. On Good Fryday at Night about Ten a Clock as I came from one Mr. John Lee who lived then in Printting-house Lane and I lived in Cob's Yard but as I came by Black-Fryars Church along the Paved Alley it being a light Night over against the Church-yard there I met a man all in black with a black long Cloak like a Presbyterian Minister and we justled close he fell before me as if a black Cloak had been spread upon the ground and vanished away This was that Presbyterian evil Spirit which knew I should discover his wickedness and banish him out of the World as I did in part in 1646. 32. I say there is no true Church of God in all the world but the Church of England and from henceforth there is no Salvation for Souls but in it there is no Elect visibly seen save those of the Church of England and all the Elect must come to Unity with these in Form of Worship Doctrine and Discipline before they can be justified and saved England at this time contains all the Elect of God and those that will not come to this Church must be destroyed Preface to the Eccho to the Voice from Heaven 33.
