I lift up my hand to heaven and say I live for ever and ever Deuter. 32. 40 To the Church of Philadelphia THAT that I am to bear witness to you is concerning the Angels Oath which was to have a double fulfilment First For a Sign then to all the Church of Philadelphia several courses was gone upon in this Blessed Ministery Last of all The Glorious Mistery of God was to be finished This begun when our Lord was proclaimed KING and it was declared Zion's-God now reigns He is upon his great white throne and there was a rainbow round about the throne This was the time that this Oath came upon me to be a Sign to the Church of Philadelphia that God remembers the Everlasting Covenant the Oath he swore to Abraham that Oath Covenant we so often read of in the Word of God At the end of time times and half a time as it is in the last of Daniel This Oath came forth to All the Church of Philadelphia Time shall be no longer The Lord brought forth his Servant the BRANCH Old Adam's state is finished After this The Tree of Life which is in the midst of the Paradice of God was given to the Church of Philadelphia upon the Word and Honour of the Eternal God Now the certainty of our Lord 's being at this time on his Throne making every thing New and more particularly of our being under the New Adam because the Righteous BRANCH was now brought forth to the house of David and he is called The LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS Jer. 23. 6. And the Church of Philadelphia first pertakes of the Grace and Glory which comes by the New Adam For he hath writ on them the name of the city of his God from these things I was as much assured that it was my duty to believe it was as God said and to take this Righteous BRANCH which was now brought forth

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. He hath seen the Blessed Person of Christ in his Personal Glory and this the Lord hath made as plain to me as any of the great Misteries blessed be his Holy Name for ever and ever God shall have all the Glory for ever and Christ shall have all the Glory for ever for there is nothing in any Creature for All Nations are before him as nothing and less than nothing and vanity I will tell you how the Lord was pleased to make it plain to me which was First He appeared in the Garment the Scripture said he should Secondly Because he graciously promised that his Servants should trust and not be afraid Isa 12. 2. and again he would appear the second time without Sin to our Salvation Thirdly There was so much Majesty seen in his Face and yet so much Mercy that his Servant according to his word was enabled to trust and not be afraid I do also Testifie in the Name of Jesus Christ King of kings and Lord of lords That Mr. Mason was that faithful and wise Steward that is spoken of in Luk. 12. 42 43 44. And the Lord made him ruler over his houshold to give them their portion of meat in due season and that this People that have received the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the houshold there spoken of and he did give us the portion of meat in due season and that the Lord hath blessed him of a truth and made him ruler over all that he hath I do Testifie That the Lord hath made him chief Officer in his Kingdom All Glory to the Lord alone now and ever Thine is the Kingdom Power and Glory now and ever now and ever Amen Elizabeth Glover Behold he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him and they also which pierced him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him even so Amen Rev. 1. 7.

of the blind were opened The Lord plants the Heavens lays the Foundation of the Earth calls Zion brings in the ends of the Earth The Beast is given to the burning flame he lays hold on the Dragon that old Serpent and binds him for 1000 Years Thus things went on until the glorious Mistery of God was finished and the voice came from the Throne out of the Temple of heaven saying It is done Rev. 16. 17. Often then it was declared in the Name of God It is done It is fulfilled but they would not believe Then was Philadelphia called in to bare witness what she had seen done she witnessed that the Heavens were planted and the Foundations of the Earth laid for she saw the new Heavens and the new Earth she witnesseth the New Covenant for Zion for she saw the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband She attests in the Name of God the hearing of that mighty Voice The tabernacle of God is with men She must bear witness to the Words of the Prophecy of the Book and say as God saith There is no more sorrow death nor pain for the former things are past He hath sate on his throne and made all new And he said unto me Write for these words are true and faithful And he said unto me It is done And this day is this Scripture fulfilled in your Ears And he hath given the waters of life and hath replenished every sorrowful Soul that hath waited for him they have Overcome and are on the Sea of Glass with the Harps of God and they sing the Song of Moses and the Lamb. But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and the murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death Rev. 21. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. The Lord commands the Witness to go on another comes and says I saw an angel ascending from the east having the seals of the living God And he sealed the servants of our God on their forehead Rev. 7. 2 3. Another Witness was brought that he hath measured the temple and the altar and them that worship therein But the outward court is given unto the Gentiles Rev. 11. 1 2. He hath opened his Seals sounded his Trumpets poured out his Vials and blessed all his Churches Thus the Witness went on from day to day until all Accounts was taken and given in Philadelphia sometimes trembling and quaking before the Majesty of Heaven often acknowledging what an awful solemn thing it was to bear witness to the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ other times astonished and amazed to think that Mistery the Angels desire to pry into should ever be broken up among a few poor Worms The Lord declares That he hath finished the heavens and the Earth and all the hosts thereof as in the first Creation All was done by his Word so now it is again not by Might nor by Power but by my spirit saith the Lord of hosts Zech. 4. 6. And the Witness of the two anointed ones was the Witness of God himself Now who durst have denied the sound of the seventh Angel when God had called in a Witness that these Misteries were finished or that this was the Angel that was to be sent to shew the things that must be done in a short time When Scripture Witness was brought in that all these things are done it was a very improbable thing that one whose Unction from the Holy One for the Work of the Ministry had been sealed for so many Years with the Conversion of so many Souls should at last deceive the World and delude poor Souls but as for those poor Creatures that bear witness to these things they were not suspected of that being looked upon as not capable to delude or deceive others but that they were deluded themselves It is possible had it been things of another nature you might have brought them off by telling them that their bodily Eyes had deceived them and all their Senses were deluded But if you come to deal with them about the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus you might as well pull down the Sun and darken the World as ever prevail against it for it is the Testimony of that God which is infallible therefore infinitely impossible that ever any thing that is offered against it should stand it will be the utter undoing of all them that shall oppose it for tho' these be never such poor weak contemptable Creatures yet what they witness to is the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus and there is no more to be said Evidence having been given That the mistery of God is finished the mighty Angel he comes down with a rainbow on his head and a little book open in his hand and swares by him that lives for ever and ever Time is no longer Come away Philadelphia and own his Kingly Dignity and Honour they had not been long dancing before the Ark ere the Lord appeared to his Servant this he owns before many Witnesses warns them once more to get Oyl others to go home and trim their Lamps they have no time to spare they should have Watched that God that hath appeared in this place will quickly appear to you all but what do these Wretches do but go and make all the hast and speed they can to turn these things into foolish ridiculous Stories to be cry'd up and down the Streets and so far are they from any fear or concern upon them at such a wonderful time as this is that they make merry and sport themselves at the Word of God and Revelation of Jesus It would make a Christian's Heart tremble to think what a God-daring Generation the Earth groans under And now the Lord comes like a Lyon rends and tears the very cauls of their hearts they would take no Warning till they were dashed in pieces but all the Wit and Art they have must be laid together to make the Word of God and Revelation of Jesus the Scorn and Derision of the whole Nation without any stop being put to these things there was none to do it The Lord sought but for a Man to stand in the gap to make up the hedge that he should not destroy the Land but he finds none good and bad all give in their Verdicts that the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ was a Delusion and so here is an end of all these things until God calls for another Account But we do attest in the Name of the Eternal God That the sounding of the quick and sudden Coming of our Lord and Saviour was the sound of the seventh Angel and God hath given infallible Proof and Witness for the Mistery of God is finished as he declared it to his Servants and as it was declared when the Trumpet first began to sound

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
