Moone esteem'd Shall be superfluous needlesse most neglected And vnto this compar'd not least respected Also the Heires and Sonnes of this Saluation Euen all th' Elected People of each Nation Kings of the Earth whom Euphrates did barre And once sequester from Christs Kingdome farre So many as are sau'd as many shall Shall in Ierusalem coelestiall With perfect ioy enioy the full fruition Of this m●st infinite and heau'nly Vision And thither shall their pompe and honour bring Euen vnto God and Christ their heau'nly King But here 's not meant their worldly wealth and state Their Gems and Iewells Gold or Siluer plate For since this sacred Citie needs no light Of Sunne or Moone which shine on Earth so bright Much lesse shall there be need of worldly pelfe In this most sacred sumptuous Common-wealth But this is hereby vnderstood and meant That those good Princes which were eminen● For vertuous gifts of Grace and Pietie Shall lift vp all their whole felicitie Their glorie and their Princely estimation From earthly vnto heau'nly contemplation And only fixe their ioy vpon the same And glorie thus to glorifie Gods Name The Gates moreouer of this Citie shall Be neuer shut but stand wide ope ' to all None shall from this felicitie be staid Nor be shut vp as frighted or afraid For there shall be no Enemy to feare them No doubt of danger then shall once come neere them All spight of former Aduersaries cease For there shall be perpetuall rest and peace And which is more there shall be here no Night For why an euerlasting splendour bright From Gods all-glorious presence shall proceed A Light more pure than Light it selfe indeed Shall so incessantly shine forth alway Making an endlesse euerlasting Day But here this Night may further intimate A two-fold meaning L●●'●all Figurate The Literall sense that there no Night shall bee Is that indeed the Saints no Night shall see For why as hath beene said all Times distinctions Of Day and Night Summer and Winter seasons Shall then quite cease and be superfluous The Figuratiue sense and meaning thus May be explayn'd that no obscuritie Of Error or of slye Hypocrisie No vncleane thing foule or abominable No filthy Creature Lyer detestable No murthering Caines no Iudas impious No ●ham's nor Achams sacrilegious No cruell faithlesse friendlesse enuious Elfe That hu●ts his Neighbour but much more Himselfe No Auaricious arm'd in hooking Tenters And clad in Bird-lime catching all aduenters Nor ought that may contagiously infect Or once eclipse the ioy of Christs Elect Or violate the glorious state and blisse Which Christ the Lambe hath purchased for His Nor in the least degree shall hurt or wrong The flourishing estate which doth belong To th' Saints rare dignitie and perfect Light Of sincere-worship of the Lord of Might Which is his Angels glorie and chiefe grace And shall for euer in them keepe fir●e place But those shall hither come with ioyes most rise Whose Names are registred i' th' Booke of Life For whom the Lambe Christ Iesus did ordaine This glorious Kingdome with him thus to raigne Who were predestinate to this Saluation Before the Worlds originall Foundation To these alone the Gates stand open wide These shall for euer with the Lambe abide Lastly to make this Citie most compleat In euery part to be as good as great The Holy Ghost hauing at large declared The Churches glorie being thus compared Vnto a sumptuous Citie full of State Now finally proceedeth to relate That both this Citie and its Citizens Are furnisht and replenisht with all meanes For conseruation of their endlesie ioy Sufficient to protect them from annoy They haue I say spirituall liuely meate Diuine Angelike Mann ' to drinke to eate The soueraigne Balsum to conserue alway Their health in health from fall or least decay The holy Spirit as erst here vsing still These earthly termes t' expresie Heau'ns sacred Will And all to shew Heau'ns great benignitie Descend●ng thus to our capacitie This honour'd Citie hath in it also A sacred Riuer which doth ouer-flow With pure and precious Water of blest Life Whose st●eames doe issue from its Fount most rife A current Riuer not a Poole with soile Not ●oul● or troubled like Aegyptian Nile Or bill ●wing Euphrates but sweet and faire With delectable streames smooth cleere and rare A Riuer for its great aboundancie Pure in respect of its sweet Sanctitie Of Water of Gods Sp'rits rare gifts of Grace Of Life whose Tasters liue an endlesse space And ●leere as Crystall from all ●pisfitude From all vncleane corrupt amaritude This Riuer shall from Gods great Throne proceed And from the Lambs gliding with pleasant speed And thus this Riuer here may signifie The Holy Ghosts gifts third in Trinitie Which is not ●le●ghtly ratifi'd indeed In that 't is said here that it shall proceed From Gods and from the Lambs most sacred Throne Which Iohns shewne Prophecie hath cleerly showne Yea and i th' midst of this great Cities streete Pau'd all with go●d as mould vnder their feete Through all the pleasant passages most faire Whe●e to and ●ro the Saiated Soules repaire On either side this Riuer rare to see Doth fluorish fairely a Life-giuing Tree Which Tree of Life doth ●hus much to vs show That to those gracious Waters which doe flow To all the Graces of Gods sacred Spirit Christ Iesus is conioyn'd by whose iust Merit His Church hath Life true Peace and sure Saluation Thus hauing with the Sp'rite Co-operation And still residing with his Saints Elect Continually doth guide and them direct Exhibiting to all by his tuition Easie partaking and a full fruition Of all the Benefits and heau'nly Graces Which in and 'bout this Riuer he thus places Whereon they all shall spiritually feede Alwayes desiring yet ne're stand in neede Which Tree of life twelue sorts of fruite doth beare Whereby the Holy-Spirit doth declare First that the Lord who is the God of Order Doth much detest Confusion or Dis-order In still retayning as he first begun The number twelue which hitherto is done And also to expresse that there shal be In Numb'r and Measure full Sufficiencie To saturate the longing appetites Of all the twelue Spirituall Israelites Euen of all those that so haue run their race The twelue Apostles doctrine to imbrace T' obserue and keepe Maugre the rage and spite Of Pope or Pagan foes to Truths pure light Thus then we see the Angell here obseruing An exquisite Decorum thence not sweruing Who since the Citie Entries Roomes Foundations And Symmetrie of these blest Habitations To th' Number-twelue haue beene accommodated And orderly thus still continuated Therefore with decent correspondencie The Angell to this Number doth applie The spirituall Food and Furniture most meete Making a Consort most harmonious sweete Conformably agreeing thus in one With those whence they had
