near approaching in the which the Earth should cast forth the Dead that have been buried in the Body of Sin For this end a terrible Blow and Stroke upon the Nations of the Earth will fuddenly come God saith he is wearied out with the Sinful Abomination of this World to which he purposeth shortly to put an end For it hath accordingly been sounded in my inward Ear that the Ends of all Sinful Worlds are by the great Creator of them now determined Upon which saying I queried in Spirit with my LORD in what other Worlds besides this Visible and known World the Evil of Sin did yet remain Whereupon it was replied that such as go out of this World in their gross and unmortified Earthly Life without Clarification obtained through the Water of Regeneration and the Blood of Christ shed in them and so Attoning for Sin and Trespasses which not being entirely done away before they go out of this Life will still abide with them in their nature and quality after Death do pass into such Worlds Stations or Centres which are most agreeable and natural to them and do accordingly bear great varieties and sundry degrees of Punishments proportioned to the Impurity that is left in them For as much as Sin dieth not totally with the Body except while in it there hath been a Dying to it by the Spirit of Righteousness spreading over it So that from hence a Cry doth go forth to all Nations Peoples and Languages to Purge out the corrupt Leaven of Sin that it may not go with them into that World or Worlds where their Lot may be § 3. For it hath been revealed unto me that there are several Regions or Worlds that do receive the Souls of all Degrees and Ranks to the Number Eight The First of these is this Mortal Visible World The Second is the Astral or Aerial World The Third is the Waterish Elementary World And the Fourth is the Fiery Dark World These are all the Worlds where Sinful Lustings may be with Punishments answerable till Sin shall expire therein through the Meditorship and Propitiatian of CHRIST the Almighty Redeemer For into the next Four Worlds nothing of Evil or Sin can enter or in the Inhabitants of them dwell The First of these is the Paradisical World being all Coelestial and a very pleasant State where there is a growing up to higher degrees of Perfection to compleat us for the Kingdom of Mount Sion Where Christ's the Lord's Kingdom is in great Magnificence with all the Angelical Principalities under him and with the Elders as Patriarchs Prophets and Apostles The Third Heavenly World is the Royal and Principal Seat of God the Father with the Eternal Virgin Wisdom and the Seven Spirits This bears the Title of the Great City called the New Jerusalem where the Glassy Sea doth encompass about Then above this is that World called the Still Eternity Out of which were generated all of these Worlds above-mentioned Of all which I must give an account according as I have had them shewed and opened from the deep Centre and Original Being of them I did not know when I published my two last Treatises that of the Enochian Life and the other of the Paradisical Laws that my God would ever have had made use of me any more in this kind the Day of my Life being so far spent and growing to its evening Rest. But my LORD doth still follow me with fresh Revelations and Inkindlings from his own immense Deep which run as a Fiery Stream through me so that I find there is no resisting this all-driving Power by which hidden and unknown Worlds must be made manifest in this last Age of Times § 4. But before I go upon this large and copious Matter it will be proper to Answer a grand Objection that is expected to be cast in upon the Reading hereof Namely Since the Holy Scripture maketh no mention of such Variety of Worlds how shall we give credit hereunto In Answer to this it is given from him who Was and Is and Will be the true Inspirer to open new Volumes of his Mind which are not to be less reputed and credited than the foregoing Scriptures The Old Testament having been appropriated to the Ministration of the Father the New to the Son now the Third Day is come in which the Holy Ghost will have His which will Excel all before it to Unseal and Reveal what yet never was known or understood that will be communicated to and by such as are in an extraordinary manner sanctified and set a part for this holy Function For from this Spirits Day must go forth a New Spring of things yet to be revealed both as to the Present and Future State that hath lain hid within these mentioned Worlds The Account of which I am more particularly to give according as it hath been shown to me from the Spirit of Inspiration For I write here from no other Ground than what the Spirit of CHRIST in the Glass of Wisdom hath presented to mine Inward Eye which pierceth into the Deep of God's Mind And which is no longer to be concealed for the Holy Unction is given for this end to drop his golden Oil which will dissolve all those Seals that have stood so long for an hiding and shutting up of those Mysterious Truths that a Commission is now given to bring forth in order to their being proclaimed and inscribed upon the Pillars and Temple of God's House Whether believed or not it must stand as the Engraving of God's Hand § 5. The First in Order is this Corporeal Visible World in which we now live Where good and evil Births have been produced from Adam and so still shall go on to be procreated till the Numbers shall be finished and filled up that are indeed as to us numberless but numbred by God Here is laid a Foundation for his manifold Wisdom in a wonderful way and manner to be made manifest from this first ground of Natural Generation Which Births after a limited time must pass through the Death of the Elementary Body to such Regions as their Lot will fall to § 6. As for such Ranks of Souls that do dye Unregenerated these having no part in CHRIST and having lived ignorant and as without God in this present World do go to their own direful Place within the Circumference of the Evil Worlds where they will be proved and tried till the general Restitution of all Lapsed Worlds by the Mighty God and Saviour shall come to be effected But of this we will not further now insist having elsewhere more largely declared it § 7. Now therefore beginning from below I proceed to make known to the true Simplified Inquirers what the First and Lowest of these Worlds or Elements is This is entitled the Dark Hellish World and by the only Supream Creator and Judge is allotted a Receptacle for Lucifer and the rest of the Apostatized Angels of that Hierarchy It may be also

called the Direful and Black Kingdom over the which Lucifer is King ruling there in the Pride of his Might in the Wrathful Fire Now from hence it is given given us to understand that such Souls as in the time of this Life are Infected and deeply Essenced in this Satanical Principle being stained with all that is Diabolical going hence without being Renewed and Transformed in some degree by the Love Light Principle must when they die out of the Body expect this Hellish World to be their Habitation and Portion with all those Punishments that the Evil Angels will delight to inflict upon them O that this dreadful Place and Company could warn and terrify all that of this Diabolical Spirit are For who would ever endure were it but for a Year or a few Years such intolerable Sufferings if they might by any means be prevented Which may be done if in holy Fear they do eschew all those Evils that do lead hereto So having no more to say to this Dark Kingdom we must leave it to the Fiery Purgation until the Venom of Sin in every Evil Property shall by the means of it expire both as to Angels of the Hellish source and to such Souls as have been deceived and captivated by them For the Creating Fiat will move the Mystery yet once again for the making of all things New Then shall the old things of Hell Death Sorrow and Pain come no more into remembrance God is said to be Everlasting and Unchangable in Love but not so to be in Anger and Wrath For Love must drown and swallow that up § 8. But now the Elementary Worlds with their Peculiar Furniture or Inhabitants severally allotted to them are next to be searched into Be it then known that each Element hath a Spirit of another kind than what is known or can be seen amongst Mortals The Fiery Region hath a Spirit proper to it that is of the only nature and quality of the Fire The Water likewise and the Air each hath its proper Spirit to inhabit therein Which are to fill up the Wonders of Gods Creation having their several Offices known to the Creator the which are not yet manifest to Mortals Only thus much is revealed and deserveth to be known that these Elementary Spirits do Cooperate and Qualify with the Elementory Nature of Man both for Good and Evil according as the Propensity of the Mind doth either way incline But we shall leave this Mystery till the One Everlasting Element shall stand open for unvailing these Secrets and so proceed to let you know the State of such as depart out of this Body Which I am to order according to their several Ranks and Degrees The First I have already mentioned who depart out of the Body in the Diabolical Spirit The Second Sort is such as are Ignorant of God and of their own Eternal Being looking no further than to an Earthly Animal and Rational Life in which they are swallowed up yet do darkly see something beyond Believing in God and Christ Historically and are convinced by the Light of Nature that they stand in need of a Saviour and so falsly do take hold of him These when they dye pass no higher than the Airy Region where they are to abide till they receive power and strength to mount higher For in these Elements the Proper rest is not Found Now for the Third Degree of Souls they are those that are more knowing and believing in GOD and CHRIST who being truly Convinced of their Depravity and lost Estate and of the necessity of Redemption yet cannot come off clearly from the Worldly Principle sticking in the outward Birth so as they cannot pass through the strait Gate of the New Birth of Regeneration and yet do notwithstanding entertain hopes of Salvation through CHRIST that at Death they may presently enter without more a do into the Heavenly Kingdom In which Millions of Souls are deceived For they that are of this Rank and Sort have but some what an Higher Degree in the Elementary Regions where their Receptacle and Mansion must be till time shall wear out all of the gross matter of the Impure Elements And as they feel not much Pain Agony or Sorrow so but little Pleasure or Joy because they cannot reach the Vision of God But Redemption will operate in these and and work through great Compunction and Reflection for the lost time and opportunity which hath been missed to gain an higher State § 9. But here a Query may be put concerning the Fiery Soul that is Eternal and breathed forth from God and found to lye hidden in the Unregenerated Persons For it may be asked where this Divine and Pure Spirit doth go upon their Decease In answer to this we give you to understand according to what hath been in the Divine Magia made known that the Supream Spirit returns to God that introduced it into the Elementary Body So that God takes that which is his own to Himself For this is an high graduated Spirit that doth belong to the Soul and that being smothered and stifled by the contrary Principle never came into any Dominion to suppress and reign over the opposite Nature And so with relation to this God said of the old wicked World that his Spirit should no longer strive with Man So that the Soul which never was renewed and Born again may go into Deprivation and Suffering together with the Astral and Elementary Part for a known and limited time till that which is Elementary shall be Refined and Transmuted When therefore the set time shall come for God to move and Open the One Element that shall transmute all Elements into it self then the New Creation of pure Coelestial Bodies in every Region will be made manifest But here I must stop my Pen for the Mystery of both Living and Dead is so hidden and deep that the Holy Ghost bringeth to light a new Record which this present Age cannot well bear or understand Nor will it be until there come a breaking off from the old Traditional Knowledge and a weaning from the Breasts of a strange Mother that so they as new born Spirits may draw from the Eternal Word of Wisdom fresh Unction that giveth light unto the Understanding and by which the Counsel of the Most High is made known and all the secrets that can be desired are manifested Which leadeth on to the Four Heavenly Worlds § 10. The first of these is the Paradisical World the Inhabitants of which are such as have attained to a good degree of Regeneration being Born of the Spirit and as have been partakers of the Baptism of Water Blood and Spirit for Renovation that so thereby the Principle of the Paradisical World hath been opened in them before they depart out of the Body of Mortality which giveth them a swift passage to enter Paradise Where as Plants they do spring and grow for an higher Transplanting into the Kingdom of Mount Sion For
