Isa 24. 3. but the dreadful Sentences of his Judgments are now to be executed on a sinful God-daring Generation that scorned to take any Warning till Himself should come and take Vengeance on them Yet blessed be his glorious Name there is a Rainbow round about his Throne and when he shall bring a Cloud and cover the Earth the Bow shall be seen in the Cloud and he will remember the Everlasting Covenant Glory to the Righteous we have a full assurance of Faith we shall see an innumerable Company of all Kindreds People Tongues and Nations with white Robes and Palms in their hands crying Salvation to him that sits on the throne and to the lamb for ever and ever And for all these things Blessing Glory Wisdom Honour and Might be unto our God for ever and ever Laws Statutes and Judgments to the Church of Philadelphia THAT that I am to Witness to you now is that which was declared by the Lord's Servant whilst the Mystery of God was finished and witnessed by the Church of Philadelphia was the Laws Statutes and Judgments of the Eternal God that stand fast for ever and ever throughout all Generations And when the Word came forth in the Father's Season He that sits on the throne saith behold I make all things new The Lord pointed me to Witness to it and write it down and gave it to his Servant 't is gone forth in Righteousness and shall return no more till it hath formed the new heaven and the earth You will say How should I know that that Word was gone forth in Righteousness Alas I knew no more than a stock or a stone but the Lord made me know that it was the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus and that I must bear witness to it and I could have no ease in my Conscience till I had done it and again when the heavens were planted and the foundations of the earth laid and he said to Zion thou art my people That Lord sent me to bear witness I saw the new heaven and the new earth and he had sworn in my heat time should be no longer The day is come he makes a new covenant with the house of Israel Jer. 31. 31. These Mysteries were as far above the reach of such a poor Worm as I as the Heavens are above the Earth for when I was so wrapt up in the sight of the new heavens and the new earth I could not forbear saying as I went up and down I see a new heaven and a new earth it was as wonderful to me when I heard those Words Rev. 21. as if I had never known there had been any such Scripture therefore God forbid that you should think there was any thing in the Creature in these things I did also about this time several times here Voices and they were those Voices in Revelations and I knew when I heard it it was the Voice of God differing from all other that ever I heard in all my life-time and when-ever I heard a Voice or saw a Vision or bore witness to any of the Words of the Prophecy of that Book I was so awed with it that I durst never entertain a thought ever any more against it it became a perpetual law in my Soul and when the Blessing was pronounced upon the Church of Philadelphia in a Ministerial way the Lord sent me to bear witness to it Rev. 1. 3. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the word of the prophecy of this book and he had declared the Downfall of Babylon and the chaining of Satan the Lord made us see it done in an Angelical way and so bare witness to it according to these words Rev. 20. 1. I saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent called the devil and satan and bound him for a 1000 years Rev. 18. I saw another angel come down from heaven and he cryed mightily with a strong voice saying Babylon the great is fallen is fallen Again when the seventh Angel had poured out his Vial into the Air a great voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying It is done enter Philadelphia in the Name of the Father Son and Holy-Ghost the Lord sent me to bear Record to the Word of God and to the Testimony of Jesus Christ That we are now entered into the Paradice where there is no more curse but the Throne of God and of the Lamb are in it and his servants shall serve him and they shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads and there shall be no night there and they need no candle neither the light of the son for the Lord God gives them light and they shall reign for ever and ever Some of these things I am forced to bear witness too that all the World may know that the Words of the Kingdom are no cunning devised Fables when our Blessed Lord and Saviour came and wrought those Miracles that never Man did yet they would not believe but said He cast out devils by Beelzebub the prince of devils What a dreadful Sentence he passed on them therefore said he All manner of sins and blasphemies shall be forgiven but the blasphemy of the Holy-Ghost shall never be forgiven You must think God will stand up for his great Honour and Name and call all nations together Who amongst them can declare this Isa 43. 9. Could all the Art in Heaven and Earth have caused one of these Voices to have been heard or Visions to be seen or one Word of the Prophecy of this Book to have been kept without the omnipotent power of God Indeed we might have seen these things with our bodily Eyes when they had been done to our outward Senses but to see them with Christ's seven Eyes which are upon the Stone that can be attributed to none but God Himself Can you think without a Commission from God any under the Copes of Heaven durst be so audacious as to take his Sacred Name into their Mouth and come and witness and affirm before all the World The keeping of the sayings of the prophecy of this book when such a dreadful Sentence is passed on them That shall add to these things Rev. 22. 18. but so great and vast are these Misteries above the comprehension of Men and Angels no Word can utter or Tongue express what is here delivered is but a short account of some few particular things to be a Testimony to you of the fulfilling of the whole Book but you must look to it for what comes to you is the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ Object But we look for visible sensible things Answer That we are bound in Conscience because of this Word every moment to expect the great change that comes on the whole world but yet if the Word of God

thou and thy fellows ye are men wondred at but behold I bring forth my servant the BRANCH Zech. 3. 8. Established for ever is his Word in Heaven signified sealed and ratified upon Earth but we knew not what these things meant until the Lord's Servant came with these Words from God Behold the Man whose name is the BRANCH See the Christ of God given to you out of the Father 's own hand here 's the visible sensible unvailed Christ performed to you And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air and a great voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying It is done Rev. 16. 17. Enter Philadelphia in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy-Ghost the Lord he declares the Revelation which is a Prophecy of a Prophecy is fulfilled The voices have been heard and the visions seen and the words of the prophecy of the book have been kept from that word Rev. 1. 3. Blessed is he that reads and they that hear until that Sentence was pronounced upon them They shall reign for evermore Rev. 22. And then the mighty angel came down with a rainbow on his head and the little book open in his hand and lift up his hand to heaven and sware by him who lives for ever and ever who created the heaven and the things that therein are and the earth and the things that therein are and the Sea and the things that therein are that there should be time no longer O joyful happy day And the Lord himself descended from Heaven with a Shout and with the Voice of the Arch-Angel and the Ark of his Testament was seen in his Temple and they were called to return thanks to God and to sing with gladness for Jacob and the Lord appeared to his Servant as a Zion's God and then received him to himself on whom he had writ the Name of the City of his God for the new Jerusalem comes down out of heaven from God Rev. 21. 2 10 11. I witness That this Oath continued with that strength and power upon me that like Fire it broke through all that was cast upon me to damp it till the same Words were put into his Servants Mouth according to that Scripture Isa 59. 21. and then the Everlasting Covenant being pronounced with the Oath of the Eternal God it was declared in the Name of God That the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah had prevailed and they that had kept the Words of the Prophecy of this Book are all Conquerours in Him and as we had derived all Guilt and Misery Death and Sorrow in the first Adam so now we are come to inherit all Grace Glory and Comfort which came by the New we are come to the Blood of sprinkling to the Spirits of just Men made perfect Heb. 12. And that God that had set the bounds to the old Adam hath took an Oath of the time and he is cursed and gone for ever The Seed of the woman hath broke the serpent's head I heard a loud voice saying in heaven Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ Rev. 12. 10. After these things the Lord shewed us as there had been a dark and obscure Sign in the Church of Philadelphia a Rainbow and a pouring down of the Spirit for a Covenant for Zion Isa 59. 21. so now there should be a bright and glorious Sign Isa 66. 18 19. And he will bring all Nations and they shall see his Glory for he will set up a Sign amongst them and in this Mountain will the Lord take away the Vail that is spread over all Nations for he will swallow up Death in Victory Isa 25. 7 8. After these things God ordered it to be declared That the days of the voice of the seventh Angel was ended he had finished his course and kept the Faith and received the Crown of Righteousness which the Lord the Righteous Judge had given him and that the Church of Philadelphia is that Stone spoke of Zech. 3. 9. And that Stone shall bear witness for it hath heard all the words of the Prophecy of that Book And in the Name of God it was declared That the Law of God was writ upon that Stone according to these Words Jer. 31. 33. The day is come saith the Lord that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah and I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts Object I. This means Zion Answer This is Zion's Representative this is that elect Seed that was to inherit God's Holy Mountain as you may see Isa 65. 9. Rev. 3. 12. I will write upon them the name of the City of my God Object II. Where is this New Covenant Answer I saw a mighty angel come down from heaven with a rainbow upon his head and the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lift up his hand to heaven and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever that time should be no longer I bear witness in the presence of God this Oath hath been sworn and performed to the Church of Philadelphia as Zion 's representative Isa 59. 21. As for me this is my covenant saith the Lord My spirit that is upon thee and the words that I have put into thy mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed saith the Lord from henceforth and for ever Arise shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee Isa 50. 1. I bear witness That the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia hath the highest badge of Honour writ on him that ever was engraven on the Sons of Men For he hath writ on him the name of God and the name of the city of his God which is new Jerusalem which comes out of heaven from God Rev. 3. 12. and 21. 2 10 11. He writ on him his new name King of kings and Lord of lords for as he represented our Lord Jesus in all his Offices of the Kingdom during the time they were done in Spirit and Mistery so he shall do again when they are done visibly and sensibly in the Eyes of all the World and as we have heard that mighty Voice saying Babylon the great is fallen is fallen so we shall see that other angel come down from heaven having great power and the earth shall be lightned with his glory Rev. 18. He was that olive-tree that stood on the right-side of the bowl that was on the top of the golden candlestick He was that anointed one that stood before the God of the whole earth Zech. 4. 14. He is that prophet that had power to smite the earth with all manner of plagues as oft as he would Rev. 11. 6. For the land is utterly emptied and spoiled the Lord hath spoken this word

ever And the whole Creation shall now break forth into the high Praises of God because the Adoption is come and it is delivered from the bondage of Sin and Corruption into the glorious liberty of the Sons of God Rom. 8. 21. But oh how much more should Philadelphia be night and day at this Work who hath been so highly favoured of God to see these things with the seven Eyes that are upon the Stone before there was any visible appearance in the World thou elect Seed that was to Inherit God's Holy Mountain on whom he hath writ the Names of the City of his God the People that was to be born to praise him come and adore before his Feet for thou shalt again be Adorned with Tabrets and shall go forth in the Dance Jer. 31. 4. for that God that hath finished the dark obscure Sign appears in the bright and glorious Sign You will say Was not the Sign finished before Answ It is more than two Years since the Mystery of God began to be fulfilled and the Lord appoints Witness from time to time to be given in that such and such things was fulfilled and done And we thought every Word to be the Last and that no more was to be done for this blessed Olive Tree that had so long emptied the Oyl through the Pipe into the Candlestick God shews him that he was to be removed and stand in another place and so he tells you he had but a very little more to say to you and after this declares That the days of the voice of the seventh Angel are ended and the Lord receives him to himself And then the dark hour comes on Philadelphia Thy Sons have fainted they lye as a wild Bull in a Net full of the fury of the Lord Isai 51. 20. The Beast that ascended out of the bottomless Pit is now permitted to make War Overcome and Kill alas what was we able to do now it was God's infinite Mercy and he alone that enabled us to hold what we had received My dear Friends I drunk with you of this bitter Cup but it was most grief to me at the beginning of the Sickness of the Lord's Servant and it continued until God had ended his Sorrow And then I was again received into those Joys and Comforts that I was in before and ordered to go on Witnessing to things as I had long before And many Ingravenings after this time came upon my Soul from which I was forced to conclude that the Mystery of God on both parts was not fully ended before for as it was all along first we received the Word then God writ-his Law upon it It was Sworn Time is no longer and this is the Witness to that Oath and the Ingravenings of God that is come upon it I witness That Zerubbabel that laid the Foundation of this House his hands have finished it Zech. 4. 9. and the Lord of Hosts hath sent him unto us and now everlasting Crowns of Honour and Glory for ever shine upon his Royal Princely Head that hath laid the top Stone in Glory Grace Grace Come away Philadelphia down down upon your Face before him that sits upon the Throne Worship the Lamb that only was found Worthy to open the Book to read and look thereon and every Creature in Heaven and Earth and under the Earth and such ar are in the Sea heard I saying Blessing and Honour and Glory and Power be unto him that sitteth on the Throne and unto the Lamb for ever and ever Rev. 5. 13. And so God Almighty bless you and turn you into a Rainbow for a Sign and Covenant unto Zion and all the Churches and make thee a burning and shining Candlestick before the Throne of his Glory to whom be Glory and Dominion now and ever Amen To the Church of Philadelphia I Bear witness this day That Christ is the True and Faithful Witness one Word hath not failed of all the good things that he hath promised I have overcome only by the blood of the Lamb and no other way have I entered the gates into the city but by the tree of life I hate and detest all mine own righteousness I loath it as filthy raggs and menstrous cloaths I Witness to you as one of Zion's Representatives That I have received the fine Linnen clean and white to be drest up for the everlasting Bridegroom of my Soul The day the day the glorious day is come That he hath raised up to David a righteous BRANCH and this is the Name whereby he is called The LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS Holy Holy Glory Glory now must we contribute to that Everlasting Hallelujah which shall be sung to free Grace and Mercy to all Eternity I Witness That our honoured Friend was the true Messenger and Fore-runner of the Coming and Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and what God hath promised to the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia is this day performed for he hath set before him that open door which none can ever shut I also Witness That there is such a thing as entring in through the gate into the city Rev. 22. 14. At the gates are twelve angels Rev. 21. 12. The walls of the city have twelve foundations Vpon her head was a crown of twelve stars Rev. 12. 1. I Witness That Christ is the door and none can enter in but by the tree of life He that takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy is condemned already his part is took out of the holy city and of the book of life Rev. 22. 19. And now for ever bless I God for the Doctrine of the Kingdom O God thy Testimony and the Laws of thy Mouth have been more to me than thousands of Gold and Silver My Dear Philadelphia Love the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ by which abundant entrance is ministered to us into the Everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Glory Glory FINIS Another Witness I Do Testify in the Name of Jesus Christ King of kings and Lord of lords That the Lord hath remembred his Servant Jacob and hath declared and saved and hath given to them the Land of Canaan according to his Word that he would settle them after their old estate and do better for them than at the beginning Ezek. 36. 11. and that the Adoption is come and the Glory is come and the Devil is bound and the Old Adams State is finished and all is done Rev. 16. 17. And time is no longer and the Lord himself descended from heaven with the voice of the arch-angel and I was Eye-Witness of his Majesty and for this Blessing Glory and Thanksgiving be unto our God and Zion's God and our King and Zion's King now and ever now and ever Glory Glory Glory to the Holy and True that sate on his Throne and made us all New I do also Testifie That then we had a Personal Christ amongst us and then Philadelphia was called to Sing and Dance and Rejoyce because great was the Holy One of Israel in the midst of us I also do Testifie That this Blessed Servant that had The revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to him to shew to his servants things which must shortly come to pass Rev. 1. 1.
