Let no man expect onely the outward Prophet he appeareth inwardly in the Spirit the outward man will not know him for he standeth in the number of the Crowne and preacheth in the Mystery He is already knowne and found he that desireth to see him let him seeke him in himselfe and let Babel goe he shall finde him c.

LO I tell thee a Mystery It is already the time that the Bridegroom crowneth his Bride ghesse where lyeth the Crowne towards the North for amidst in the Sharpe-astringent quality the light becomes cleare and shining but whence comes the bridegroom out of the midst where the heat produceth the light and goeth towards the North in the Astringent quality where the light becomes cleare and shining what doe they towards the South they are fallen asleep in the heat but a Tempest shall rouse them up between th●● many shall have a terrible death or end What doe they of the West their bitter quality will blend it selfe with the other but when they taste the sweet water their spirit becomes meeke What doe they of the East Thou hast ever been an haughty bride borne in the beginning thou thoughtest thy selfe to be formerly too faire thou livest with or like the rest Aurora Page 567. THe precious man Moses writeth That God made man of the dust k Ger. erdenklos of a lump of earth massa terrea of the earth as the learned have rendred it but he was not by when it was done but this I must say that Moses hath written very right but the true understanding what the Earth was made of remained hidden in the Letter to Moses and his successours even to this time also it was hidden to Adam while he was yet in Paradise But now l Viz. What ever hath been hidden under the vaile of Moses and the Parables of Christ it will be wholly manifest for the heart of God hath beset the chamber of death and will soone breake through therefore some dawnings of the day will now more and more breake through in some mens hearts and make knowne the day but when this Aurora shall shine from the East to the West then there will be no more time left but the Sunne of Gods heart ariseth and will Ra Ra Ra P. in this cold place and with him in R. P. These are hidden words and are to be understood onely in the language of Nature The Authors exposition of these places taken out of a Letter c. 6. COncerning the interpretation of some words and also of that which you desire of me which are specified in my Booke called Aurora which have very hidden meanings the knowledge whereof was given me of the most High I give you to understand that at present it is not convenient to write at large and expressely thereof in letters seeing the time is dangerous and the Enemy of Christ doth horribly rage and rave till a little time be past yet I will give you a short hint further to consider of it 7. As first there is a twofold meaning of the Northerne Crowne The first pointeth at the Crowne of life viz. the Spirit of Christ which shall be manifest in the midst of the great darknesse viz. in the Contrition or distresse of the sensible nature of the Conscience where a Peculiar Motion is present even then cometh the bridegroom viz. the power of Christ in the midst of such a Motion 8. The other overture is a Figure of the outward Kingdome where the great confusions entanglements and contentions shall be when as the Nations shall stand in Controversie There also is the Figure viz. the victory signified as it stands in the spirituall Figure how it shall goe and what People shall at last conquer and how in the meane while in such lamentable time of Tribulation Christ shall be made manifest and knowne and that after and in such lamentable time of Tribulation the great Mysteries shall be revealed that men shall be able to know even in Nature the hidden God in Trinity in which knowledge the strange Nations shall be converted and turne Christians also therein is signified how the Sectarian Contentions in Religion shall be destroyed in such manifestation for all gates will be set open and even then shall all unprofitable Praters which at present lie as so many bolts before the truth be done away and all shall acknowledge and know Christ which manifestation shall be the last then the Sun of life shall shine upon all Nations and even then the Beast of iniquitie with the Whore end their dayes which is signified under the Characters Ra Ra Ra P. in R. P. as is to be seen in the Revelation 9. Wee dare not at present make this large interpretation more cleare all will shew it selfe and then men shall see what it was for there is yet clean another time 13. A Letter at the end of the way to Christ KNow That a Lilly blossometh unto you yee Northern Countries if you destroy it not with the Sectarian Contention of the Learned then it will become a great Tree among you but if you shall rather choose to contend then to know the true God then the ray passeth by and hitteth onely some and then afterward you shall be forced to draw water for the thirst of your soules among strange Nations 14. If you will take it rightly into consideration then my writings shall give you great furtherance and direction thereto and the Signate-Star above your Pole shall helpe you for its time is come about or borne 15. I will freely give you what the Lord hath given me onely have a care and employ it aright it will be a witnesse for you against the mocker Let no man looke upon my person it is a meer gift of God bestowed not onely for my sake but also for your sake and all those that shall get to reade them 16. Let no man gape any longer after the time it is already come about whom it hitteth him it hitteth whosoever waketh he seeth it and he that sleepeth seeth it not the time is appeared and will soone appeare he that waketh seeth it many have already felt it but there must first a great Tribulation passe over before it be wholly manifest the cause is the Contention of the Learned who tread the Cup of Christ
