glorious God within me which made me as much rejoyce laugh within my self as if I had bin in no miserie at all yea though I was in hel among all the Devils I cryed out sorrow and sighing shall flie away Some 5 or 6. of these fits in my miserie I cryed out I was in hel In my joy I cryed out the Lord of hosts is come and sorrow and sighing will now flie away and that the Lord of hosts will not shake the earth but the heavens also These fits being over there did appear to me four black horses all in harnesse drawing and tugging as if they had bin in a cart that was set and strived harder then ordinary to get out And I said Lord what is the meaning of this sighing and groaning untill I had an answer and I was answered that these do represent the powers of the world that do oppose God in his people all powers that they are now ready to be drawn in pieces and these being vanished There appeared four horses al' read and I said Lord what is the meaning of this and the Lord said these do represent all powers to be in blood readie to be strangled and these being gone there appeared 4. pale horses like unto death for J looked much upon them for they looked very pale yet not withstanding they did brance up and down and kept a vaporing about But presently death seized upon them and I beheld till I saw all powers throwne down and covered in the earth that they should rise no more And after these 4. pale horses were covered under the earth there appeared one white horse without spot or staine and one upon him all in glory having a sword in his hand and he rid from East to West from North to South and he said the kingdomes of this world are becom the kingdoms of the Lord he doth raign Isaid Lord what doth this mean and the Lord said That I the eternall God will appeare so glorious in my people to the burning up of flesh and sin that they shall appear Conquerours and Kings and I the Lord God am and will appear to be all and in all to my people And as he prances from East to West from North to South without any let or hinderance so shall my people live in the injoyment of me and nothing shall make them afraid and a little while after I beheld an Angell coming from God and haveing in his hand abook and it was open And he came to me and bid me put forth my hand and take it and eat it and I did put forth my hand and did take it and I said Lord what means this and my God said that this is a testimonie or a seal to you that I am come to you and have put my law in your heart and have writ it in your inward parts and you shall sin no more and I was made to bow seven times to this Angell and my father said even so shall all flesh bow to me in my people and as the book was open in his hand it shews that the mysterie which hath bin his is now to be made manifest and the everlasting Gospel to be preached And on the thurseday morning between 5. and 6. a clok I was taken with trembling and horror and was strook dead for a while so as I drew no breath at all and at length I heard a great roaring of waters which made a great noise and when I came to my selfe I groaned and sighed and said Lord what means this noise and my excellent majestie which dwell in me said that as you heare the roaring of waters and none is able to still the noise so shall my people even my sons come with singing and rejoycing to Sion and none shall make them weep any more hearing of this I was much taken with joy even overcome with joy and continued full of joy I was taken as I was before and my breath being gone from me again I lay as dead for awhile And did at length see a company of men and women standing upon Sion having harpes and made musick and then came some others and they danced and there was one more glorious then the rest in the midst of them And I beheld till he that was in the midst of them did go into them all and they became all as one And on Friday morning about five or six a clock I was taken with horrour and feare and was much perplexed in my selfe in mind and at length J heard a voice saying heare me and observe what I say and write That as I have tormented and plagued thee so will I torment plague all powers besides my selfe And J said Lord wilt thou torment and destroy this Parliament and the Lord said J will destroy and consume and bring to nothing the Parliament all power that have exercised cruelty upon my people will give the glory and honour and strength of Kingdomes to my people that there may be universall liberty and freedom and will make the Wolfe and the Lamb lie down together and be at peace one with another and as you did see a white horse and one upon him all in glory the night before last night with a sword in his hand riding from East to West and from North to South and none to oppose him and none to help him but that he did destroy all his enemies himselfe So I will even by my own power and by my spirit bring to nothing all the glory honour and power of all fleshly powers that J alone may be and none besides me And J said Lord how long will it be first and the Lord said in a very little while and J will overturne overturne overturne and will appear in my Temple to the effecting of mine own work And on the 25. of January in the night J was taken in the same manner as before but only my fit of trouble was lesn'd and my fit of laughter more then any J had before and after my mirth was over J was caused to lie still And J heard a voice of very great waters which made me greeve within my selfe untill I had an answer what they should meane or what the noise should signifie And at length my God within me told me that the waters doth signifie the persons of Sion singing and rejoycing in Sion and as the noise of the waters was great so should the joy and gladnesse of Sion be great and as I heard a noise and did not know from whence it came so should their joy and gladnesse come from God within them and not from Creature objects And I said Lord they rejoyce and sing allready but my eternall God within me told me that their joy now is mixt with sorrow and so is not perfect joy But they shall ere long be brought into a full enjoyment of me and then shall cease from sorrow And presently after J beheld two
