the Earthly Life in our selves for to the Conquerors the Glassy Sea and the New Jerusalem as a reward will be given for it will open within the Soul-Center Let us remember our Calling We were called to Fight with our inward Spiritual Enemies for the Garland of Paradise aad for the Garland of Flowers which were wont to be given to the Conquerors And we are to contend for the the Crown of Pearl which is Christ's perfect Deity in his Eternal Humanity in our Souls we are yet to strive with all earnestness for to obtain the Banner of Victory over the Hell Sin Death and Curse in our Souls by reigning with the risen Lamb 〈◊〉 dominion over all Devils and wicked Babylon from whence we are called to Separate from Yet Good and Evil are wrestling within us Day and Night in Strife Life and Death Light and Darkness are in Contention who should Reign and which should have the Dominion therefore in the Unity and Harmony of the Love we are to persevere till we see Christ's Coronation-Day till he in us and we in him come to see him Crowned and all our Enemies under his Feet This will be our Reigning-Day indeed when Hell and Sin and Death and Mortality in us shall be swallowed up of Immortal Life and Glory When we shall know but one Heavenly Life moving and acting through every form of the Soul Seeing such a Ministration is left us by Christ on this the Grave to be enjoyed when the Seventh Angel shall sound his Trumpet and it is so near us and we near it let us give all Diligence all Watchfulness all Labour for the Possession of it Then Christ within us and Christ without us will meet in one Center of Glory and both will make up but one Wonder These Lines I hope will be no Block in your Christian Progress If a Spark of Love-●…ire inflame your Soul to seek after the Center of Perfection in Christ I shall rejoyce Christ in us can do it in a moment by opening the Glassy Sea in the Soul's Property This is the Mark we are pressing after as fellow Travellers Wherefore we make our selves Strangers and Pilgrims to this Earthly Principle I commend you dear Soul into the Arms of our Emmanuel who will bring his Constant and Faithful Seekers to be with him in his Kingdom of Glory So I rest Your fellow Traveller in the Patience under the Cross J. P. II. Mr. T. B's Testimony of this Dispensation THis Dispensation does not only keep us close to the Person and Offices of our Lord Jesus Christ but with it or in it is conveyed the very essential Grace or the Body Spirit and Power of Christ to abide in us as a constant Spring of Divine Teaching and of Spiritual Sensation and as the true and great Root of Regeneration which is Christ in us the Hope of Glory So that in this Dispensation we do essentially and vitally enjoy that which many other Christians do but discourse of and breath after as a thing mostly unknown keeping close to it i●… purifies us Soul and Body and leads us most directly into Mount Sion or the Heart of God this is most essentially true and a long considered experimental Testimony T.

Law of Sin hath Dominion so long as he liveth So from hence the Spirit did testifie that nothing less then a Thorough Death would put me into a Capacity of this Marriage with the Lamb. For he will match himself only to a Virgin Spirit incorporating and thereby changing into his own pure Humanity and this is a Begetting into a Living Substance which springeth through the Death of the Old Which as the Grain that dissolveth in the Earth and generateth a New Body so in like manner doth the New Creature spring forth which indeed is Christ our Life whose appearance will put an end to Sin in us Now what brought in the Curse the Care the Toil and the Impotentcies which distress poor Man in this his fallen estate but a Deviation from his God And while in this state he stands as a Debtor to Sin being under the Dominion of it this maketh him obnoxious to all the Calamities which do attend those that live in Bodies Elementary But now to hear of a Possibility of a Putting off of this Body of Sin this is good Tidings indeed and verily the Prophet which is risen in me hath prophesied that such a Day is at hand And that I shall be a Witness of Jacob's Star arising and shall see for my self and not for another Then shall that saying be fulfilled Death is swallowed up in Victory even the Death of that First Husband who so long hindred my Marriage with the Lamb. Who by a New Law from Mount Sion hath set me free from the Law of Sin and Death Be astonished O ye who are Wounders and Despisers of this Grace which I now see is near to be Revealed For the Garments of the Bride are making ready and it is granted to me to see in whose hand they be O Wisdom to thee is committed only the Ordering of this Wedding Garment which of divers Colours shall be that known from all others may be the King's Daughter who under thy Teaching and Discipline is committed April the 20th 1675. The Shulamits Debate Expostulation with Wisdom OH my Mother how is it that thou hast shewed me of the Glory of thy House and of the Honour Riches and Dominion of thy Kingdom and hereby hath allured and drawn the Spirit of my Mind that I cannot turn my Eye from thee my Senses being refined and with thy Life close touched that I altogether incapable am to join to Baal or to immerse my self with the druggy polluted Life of this outward Principle which hath no consistency with that transparent state where unto thou hast called me with thee to have my Conversation as one that hath obtained Grace to be sirnamed by thee and admitted into the secret of thy Counsel in order to some peculiar Service for thee If so why is it I am yet straitned in force and power What signal mark do I bear to demonstrate my holy and consecrated Calling to wait in thy Pavilion What Commission have I from thee to shew whereby all unbelieving and gain-saying Spirits may be convinced and put to silence true it is I have had free Communications through Transportation of my Spirit but what is this without fixation and Seal of the Power which may bear Record of its own Omnipotency working forth to redress all Maladies and Grievances seeing I have taken upon me to plead suffer me yet a little to empty and unload my self to thee whom I well know to have the tender working Bowels of a Mother and numbrest all my Complaints the first Argument is from thy free choice of me calling me out of all Nations Tongues and Peoples no more to know my Fathe'rs House or the Land of my Earthly Nativity but to renounce and seperate from all attending thy Appointments only at whose Knee I have been for some time brought up to hear and learn the manner of the worship of my God which is expected in a different Living All-Powerful Ministration which to know is indeed Life but to act forth from that Life brings the Joy Peace and Glory which will be the Renown of Wisdom's Nursery among whom I have thus far found favour as to have her Friendly Salutations with Word upon Word sealing Instructions to me but this is not enough Oh the Spirit and Breath that goeth forth with all Influencing Powers to create new Forms of things this I know will give the express signature of a Godlikeness putting forth through Nature's contemtible Appearance Here is surely a matchless Glory to break forth the highest Mystery which was ever unveiled the best and choicest of all Wisdom's Treasury yet to be brought out for such as pursue and make it their only one Interest minding and regarding nothing else Oh my Mother while herein have I busied my self in putting and throwing off all Weights that I might come a naked Spirit unto thee How have the pernitious Necessities cryed for the out-part to have Right done it to act and work and plot in Reasons Counsel-House as the manner is of all which live in the gross Animal Body is known to thy all-viewing Eye which runneth to and fro and what my Conflicts have been and still are while I have studied to evade and make my escape through the Throng of Worldly-Wise Reasons Guard who have by order of their great Prince watched me in every going out and in when with my only Friend I would my Time secretly in all sweetness spend contrivance hath not been wanting to draw me down to wear again the dark Linsywolsey-Gown I being well aware through divine caution These are the Pirats that have lain in wait for me to take what Substance is with me embarked So that Perils on all kinds do beset but this my Ark above all Waters doth keep floating a Man of War is within which will keep this Vessel from being a Prize to the subtil Man of Sin pitched within and without by Wisdom's Skill no fear of leaking while I thy bottom am so saith the Amen Thus encountring fresh with Temptations and strong Gusts from the cold North which I feel many times blow so sharp as if they would put back the Spring from coming on upon which only my Hope is entertained which keeps up my Spirit from fainting Thus while I was pleading and pressing hard for the finishing Power to come down that might put an end to all Strife whioh is from the Root of Sin Here is a Break by the loss of the Original Therefore O Shulamite do not thou judge thy Furnace to be too hot it well becomes thee the same with thy Lord in all things to be who in thee beareth and endureth and suffereth Were it not that hadst high Conjunction with the Deity thou wouldst not stand in that Enmity universally to what from the Root of Iniquity doth spring How much better is it to be numbred with thy Jesus amongst the Transgressors and to bear the Sins of others rather then thy own that the Evil One may

The New Book Opened Or the Everlasting Gospel of JESUS THis Morning my Spiritual Informer came and presented to my view a Book wherein great and hidden Secrets were writ telling me here was neither Parable nor Allegory but the plain Doctrine of the Everlasting Gospel Into which it was said it is given thee to look for it is an Epistle of good-will and love to thee and thy fellow Waiter that ye may come to a right and genuine understanding of those weighty things which lay concealed under the Vail of the Letter The summ of which is the Incarnation Dying Rising Ascending and Glorifying of thy Jesus All which being finished in his own Personality I now look to see that all should be actually wrought in you to which end I have poured out of my Spirit upon you which may bring you up through all to me Read then and see in Wisdom's Glass what is contained in this Book for a further instructing of thee into a Gospel Death and Rising into Victory Many are the Deaths ye have passed over and I grant every Death hath brought forth a rising Body so that ye are come so far as to bear the very Image of the Heavenly Man in which the Life-Seed doth spring But this is not all you are to aspire unto but you are here to dye with Jesus For in all those foregoing Deaths you had not that fellowship as ye shall have with me when I am grown up in you For I the Just One died for the Unjust so I must Personate this dying again in you after a Paradisical manner sowing my own pure Grain and Seed into the Mount Sion Ground For as it is said such as the Seed and Soil is such a Body in the Resurrection it will be and such a Body it will produce And although you come thus to dye in the Lord I mean in your Lord Jesus Christ in whom your Life lies safe and inoculated there will be no danger And while you are sowing here be not as others without Hope for indeed you sow not that Body which shall be to the account of a Bare return as Spirit for Spirit or Body for Body For though it was sown a single Seed yet it shall be various and manifold though the Seed is sown contemptible yet it shall rise honourable and though sown as weak yet it will rise mighty in strength So mighty potent strong and honourable this Resurrection will be as it will bring forth the Seed sown with another manner of Body then what hath yet been known For ye shall know all Blessedness indeed by thus dying into me fear it not therefore but valiantly spill your Life and mingle it with me then shall ye know a cessation to your own busie-acting Properties For that Spirit which dyeth into me ceaseth to Sio sweetly sleeping and slumbering in Sion's Golden Dust till I my secret Trump shall sound with the Vial of Life quickening Oyl poured in which shall make the dead in you to come forth with an unchangeable habit and form of the Holy Ghost of which I speak I will after this manner rai●…e up at the last Day which day to thee is very near if thou canst sink and dye so totally into me who do promise to thee long here lay buried thou shalt not be This is the Connexion to the former Part. Before I the LORD will move again to the finishing of the last glorious Mystery the first that can dye thus into me shall rise as the first Fruits out of me into a Body Celestial and mighty Powerful For my Seed shall never Corruption see it shall soon rise into a Mount Sion Body Lay but the Ground-work hereunto sure and ye shall see and feel another Spirit and another Form after this passive Sleep For after it ye shall awake in that Image which shall be no more despised being all compleat and giving proof of my Resurrection and Life Oh blessed are they who can say that they were dead in me and are alive evermore to Reign with me in my Kingdom waiting for me their Lord from Heaven to bring them thither For in this new risen Body I shall not be ashamed of thee it is so Signatured into the Father's Nature of Purity that in it thou mayst freely ascend to me Where I will in the Light Airy Region meet with thee and bring thee through all the Pearly Gates O come resign and dye know me no more out of this Dying and Resurrection State Thus Death is not Metaphorically but Really the last Enemy that is to be destroyed Here Sing ye may that dwell in Sion's Golden Mold and triumphantly Cry Oh Death by this Spiritual dying I am mortally become thy Death and so swallowed up as you can nothing of it see Go go preach thou this for the Everlasting Gospel to such as have an Ear to hear it rejoyce and give Glory to God on high Now when the Hour of this Judgment shall fully come by ushering in the New Jerusalem freedom through the Streets of Nature This Gospel Ministration which is all Love Grace Mercy and Peace by those shall then be proclaimed who do partake of this Resurrection as the first Fruits They shall be honoured with this Message to all those who in this Noah's Age are asleep in their dark Prison-Houses For an Almighty Voice I in you my Sion-born Spirits will utter forth to call in more to know this Death-Liberty and Life-Resurrection and Ascension into all Fellowships and free Communions with the High Eternity and Me the chief Head of all Sion's new risen Body Whereunto being come no other Banner will I display there but that Love which casteth out all Bondage and Fear May the 6th 1676. In the Morning being the first Day pondering and considering this last Opening which shewed me the necessity of dying into my Jesus and of sowing the Seed of my Eternal Spirit as an unmixed Grain sifted from all Chaffiness or Cockle or any such thing for to twist about it Thus the Word said
