the Innocent shall take hold of his Feet in the Way he is walking when the wronged comes to be apprehended on a Hill that is higher than that on which the Enemy and Destroyer hath been exalted and into the Hands of the PURSUED is put a sharp Instrument the strength of that Reason whereof the World is robbed and bereft even the Sword of Goliah and Spear of their Adversary with which they shall wound the Head of RAHAB and the Dragon and thereby they shall do EXPLOITS XXVII Though they are kept from using it in a time of advantage yea I have seen I have seen while the Envious have been hunting abroad the Pursued have been led into the Tents of those that are Mighty in Battel and the Man of War hath been found sleeping over his Master until a Lap of his Garment with which the Envious hath covered the Cruelty of his Spirit is brought forth into open view and the Cruse and Spear at his Beds head can now be shown to his shame because the Blood-Avenger hath kept the Innocent from putting forth his Hand to touch Him that had once the Anointing Oyl on his Head that had the favour of a Lot in Israel when the Spirit of God rested on Him that made it a Proverb Is the Son of Kish also among the Prophets XXVIII But the Cry of the Poor is heard that hath been compassed about with Tormentors who hath said in his heat What shall I now do for behold here cometh a whole Army and I have no Sword but that of Goliahs and the Lord hath said Take it for there is none like it and it shall be known that a Stripling is engaged in the Lords Battel and is able to make war against Israels Enemies though he could not use the Sword in his own defence neither dares he be too bold in the exercise thereof abroad lest the bruised Reed should be broken and the smoaking Flax quenched before Judgment is brought forth into Victory at home where the War is begun by such that are engaged in the Lambs Battel XXIX Therefore in the Mystery of what is herein treated of is the depth of whatever hath relation to the concern both of SOUL or BODIES Welfare in the Knowledge and true understanding of its state and the universality thereof is a Testimony worthy to be heeded in the General or particular Concern because of the relation it hath to the true and right Information of the Mind of all that are capable of benefit therein through a pointing property at that which gives unto the Reader a sence of the Day in which many in old time were made Prophets and Messengers and have largely testified and prophesied thereof in the Restoration of all Principles of Nature it hath possessed and inhabited in the BODY into its first Glory which is the MYSTERY of the Second Resurrection in those in whom the Power of the first Death is weakened and over whom the second Death hath no power XXX For the Life of JESUS is manifest in their mortal Flesh discovering the Glory of which they are made Partakers in a Kingdom everlasting and World without End because of their Faith and Belief in the changing and renewing Power of GOD wherein the JUST do live and witness Redemption from the Sting of SIN and Strength of the LAW which is the Power of Death and the GRAVE hath not Dominion over the Soul therefore you that profess Scriptures contend not against the Verity and Infallibility of the Testimony hereof because for your sakes and satisfaction I am constrained in some cases to use such Words that the RECORD of TRUTH is sealed by in the Testimony of the PROPHETS of GOD in former Ages and Generations of the World XXXI Neither let it scruple any on the other hand that I use not an exact FORM and METHOD of Scripture-Terms but am oft constrained to apply the bent of my Spirit toward such significant terms as are brought to my Understanding in the exercise of the VISION for the Words are but an outward Sound and Declaration of what hath relation to an inward and invisible Work in the Heart of the Creature through the Salvation of the Soul from Death but I see it hard for many professing SCRIPTURES and the Knowledge of the TRUTHS of GOD therein declared to own it nakedly for its own sake and yeild and bend to the disposings of God in matters of such concern for then would it be consented to in what hath relation to the Minds Information without respect to the Persons of such that are found differing in Judgment concerning outward Circumstances in Gestures or PRINCIPLES in DOCTRINE while in the End and Aim there is a respect to Truth in the Heart XXXII And there will be a joyning in the Acceptance against whatever hath relation to Controversies in a state of disobedience against the Spirit of God in which the WORLD is endeavouring to settle a Rest and hence have I seen the Complainer vexed with Burdens of his unruly Passion but that God may more and more unseal the Fountain of endless Good and Happiness in the Knowledge of the Glory of his Kingdom that is everlasting is my Souls desire that Truth and Righteousness may be set up in the WORLD and the Glory of the ANTIENT OF DAYS proceeding in the increase of the Knowledge of GOD may run down like a River and cover the Earth like as the Waters cover the Sea XXXIII And as this hath its due acceptance in the Heart of the Upright and Unbiassed in Censure and Judgment for the sake of the Controversies among men about their Opinionatedness concerning the Truths of God contained in the Scriptures with which the World is filled they will more and more come to see into its service and the end for which it is given forth which will make way for the opening and discovery of many pretious Secrets pertaining to the Restauration of Nature in its depraved Body of infected Elements that are generated under a Power of Corruption that Creatures may come to see into the Mystery of what is contained in many words therein that hath a signification very intricate to the common sence of private Interpretations thereon which the limitting spirit of the WORLD is apt to tye up the Faith of their Communicants in because of the vulgar acceptance it hath in the Heart of a Multitude But the Encouragement I find for the prosecution of what is remaining in this Tract wherein I am taking view of my passage through those Forms of Nature in which I am imbodyed in time and place is centred in an higher Object than the Readers well or ill Acceptance XXXIV Though I am satisfied in the end thereof that coming to be seen into will cause many to say Now I know thou speakest no more unto us in PARABLES but hast plainly shewed us of the Father But among the Multitude how hard a thing is it to believe well of future Events
are in the way of Reconciliation to God and their Brother and have their Sacrifice salted with Salt and do find Acceptance before God without any loud Cry to the World 's BAAL or Lord as did the Priests in Days of old and they awaken nothing before its time but are wayting on the Power of what is already kindled and awakened against Self which is Gods Displeasure wherein the ENEMY hath been strengthened for a time XIX Thus desiring if it be possible to live in peace with all Men no Spirits can be awakened in the wrathful Principle to their hurt because such things are not easily allayed again in their heat and sting for the Executioners of Gods Displeasure as destroying Angels in God rejoyce in the Power of Death taking occasion by Sin to tempt and then to accuse as sin hath taken occasion by the LAW once ordained in the hand of Angels to revive a strength of Condemnation under the Power of Death wherein the Devourer and Destroyer imployeth his Instruments in the Working of Concupisence like a roaring Lyon seeking to betray under his Baits and Snares as a ground of Enmity and Revenge in which he lurketh with accusations after he hath once conquered under the Power of his Dominion and to condemn before God that the Patient in Spirit may be delivered into his hand for torment the time he hath to sift and try them XX. For I have always desired of the Lord to keep out of the ground and Cause of Just Offence to any and to avoid occasions of Enmity which is so ready to spring up in the distempered and discomposed Mindes of Men of unruly Passions who have let in the SEED of Discontent against the Dealings and Proceedings of God either in Themselves or Others wherein many are both seeking and taking occasions unjustly against those they are out of Charity with because of a mind filled with prejudice and gainsayings though to me such things are no whit strange in that I know there is no temptation suffered to work against the life of God in any but what was common to the Saints in days of old who with the Temptation have found out a way to escape the evil and danger thereof XXI Yet am I clear herein that I have not sought to hide the Counsel of God from any by delivering forth the truth of what I have received from GOD in an UNKNOWN Tongue wherein I could keep my Conscience void of offence towards GOD and Man but there is a Spirit which is Worldly wise and subtil yet covered with Religious pretences which is at this day seeking Preheminence in the House and Temple of God and that is it which I desire to live and act out of the reach of in what form or by what name soever they may be called therefore from such I keep in the Clouds and from thence must I in the Truth hereof and the Truth in me descend to their Capacities as way is made therein through the fulfilling of the Prophecy XXII But though this is and hath been my Care and Conscience towards God and love to the Creation of him that formed his Workmanship in the Womb of Nature and curiously wrought the form wherein he rejoyceth in the Mothers Belly not to seek or give any just occasion of offence to Jew or Greek or cast a stumbling Block in the way of the Gentiles in which the House of Israel remaineth under sufferings yet as far forth as I am redeemed out of the ground of hurt which worketh in the excess of Love or Fear of the Creatures I question not but my LIFE will be preserved through all in my Way and out of the reach of evil Tongues in the bewitching faculty of prejudice that swelleth with Envy XXIII My Bow 's bent being wholly drawn against the persecuting Spirit of the World about Religion and Worship of God under what name or pretence soever such are covered who seek to keep the Innocent under the sufferings of Cruelty in the Holes and Dens of the Earth that are filled with a People more righteous before God than themselves though it was Israels Choice to have that Dominion established wherein they might be like unto other Nations of the Earth which is given them in the Ministration of Wrath and Fury and in all Forms of Government he hath come forth higher than the common People by the Head as King in Nature and though he hunt for his Prey as a Partridge on the Mountains yet doth God watch over and preserve his own through all conspiracies of ACHITOPHEL which shall come to nought XXIV Notwithstanding many are hereby given into the Hands of the Tormentor for the destruction of the Flesh whose Spirits are saved alive in this day of the Lord and they are now coming forth in that Power which hath conquered the strength of the old Deceiver which is ready to betray with a Kiss of Flattery and they are made able to trample on the Dominion of Death and Hell in the worldly Spirits Excommunications and Banishments and sensual Separations having not the Spirit of God in a patient suffering and bearing Principle that cannot rejoyce to see and behold any evil in others but mourneth over such that are left to themselves and the pernicious ways of that Will which is deserted by God in the ground and Principle of the Lifes operation though in his Sufferance they live and move and have their Being while they grow in that which is past feeling of his Love and are dead to the apprehension of his Power in the motion of which they were first quickned as given up to a reproved and reprobate sence XXV Therefore let the goodness of God to his Creature lead to Repentance as that which shall leave all Men without Excuse before him which is the only way to bring out of a perishing Estate under which the Worlds are fallen wherein his LOVE and MERCY maketh sensible of the Danger concerning which they are forewarned that as God cometh to leave any to themselves in the danger of their own Pernicious Ways so in like manner they be dealt withal by them that profess his Name and Truth and none to continue contending with the World in the wrathful Principle for it is not lawful striving with any People out of the Power of God in the Ministration of his Love because all wrathful furious drivings and strivings are under the Power of the Destroyer and it is the Devils strength to lead into the same though therein Divine Justice cometh to be exalted over the Creature in the execution of Vengeance that repayeth double to all the Rebellious XXVI Let the stiff-necked consider therefore why many have been given up unto Satan and delivered into the Tormentors hands for a season while Destruction and Contempt hath come on the Glory of the Flesh which is stained for the Hunter after mischief shall fall in his own Snare and Gin and the Trap he hath layd for
God I have a hand reached forth to the helpless towards whom my tender Bowels are moved that they may partake of this VISITATION which is given for the sake of many and great NATIONS This great Salvation of God being revealed to all them that are made partakers with him in the Faith of God's Elect in which the like pretious Promises do work V. To all the People of God whether gathered or ungathered my love reacheth forth though most especially to the scattered Nations over all the Earth that are the Houshold of Faith in which it is not only given them to believe but also to suffer for his Names sake whom they profess Love Mercy and Peace together with all fruits of the Spirit of God to the Brethren of him who is come to possess the Life of Patience under the sufferance of the Spirit of this World through the Revelation of JESUS the Son of God by whom the whole Glory of the TEMPLE of God was brought forth into which entered the Hoast of the Heavens the SEVENTH day wherein God came to rest in the finished settlement of that in which all labour ceased as to the working power of his Spirit in the frame of the Creature and Creation that is become the workmanship of the Father VI. I am filled I am filled with the motion of his Power in the workings up of his informing Spirit that sendeth forth its sound through an Earthen Vessel and in as much as its concern is Universal the peculiar relation and respect which it hath unto People of those Generations is the breathings of Life from a follower of the Lamb of God And the Life of the JUST in his Name that is faithful and true and full of long-suffering and that which is certified concerning these things is what will assuredly be fulfilled and shortly come to pass VII Therefore blessed are they that can read or hear and in whom there is a heart inclined to understand the MYSTERIES herein wherein the Testimony of TRUTH is confirmed amongst the CHURCHES in the Spirit of Jesus unto which Churches in the WORLDS in their divided quarters JESUS who is the Author and Finisher of the Faith of God's Elect whose Nature had glory in raising up that Body out of the Grave and from the power of Death and Destruction in three dayes is now dispersing bowels in which are the Fountains of all good that have been sealed and shut up but are now freely set open for sin and for uncleanness for Judah and Jerusalem VIII And thus saith the Antient of days the AMEN the FIRST and the LAST who hath glory in the Work of God through the Redemption of Souls up unto himself come wash and be clean for he that is faithful and true hath yet a little while a gathering Hand and Arm stretched out towards you all the Bride saith Come as hath been the Voice of the Spirit of God which by many hath been rejected But yet hear what the Spirit saith unto the CHURCHES IX Unto the Churches of ASIA and the ANGELS of these Churches saith the Beloved of God O yet gather if it be possible and behold the Wing of Mercy and everlasting Salvation hovering over you your works have been tryed in the fire and hitherto they have not made weight in the Ballance of Gods Sanctuary neither are they able to stand before him but are like the STUBBLE in his way and are driven before the Bow of his Fury X. Yea unto thy PRINCES saith the AMEN of all Glory in Heaven and Earth bend your Necks to the Yoak and learn to Plow else sorrow wil be your portion To thy PRIESTS I say Howl Lament and be threshed upon the FLOOR by him that can handle the FLAIL to thy PROPHETS I say Take the Cup and drink a mighty draught for as ye have had your fills of Pleasure on the Earth so shall you drink your full Portion of sorrow howling and lamentation XI I know all thy works and thy doings for the secrets of thy Heart are not hid from me thou exalted HORN of ASIA PERSIA and MEDIA are the strength of thine ARM ye Daughters of K'TURAH therefore be ye wakened in time and behold how the ASSYRIAN is broken on the right Hand and on the left XII And unto the ANGELS of the Churches Mystically in AMERICA in thee are a People whom God will yet gather to his Praise but thou wilt be broken as a Potters Vessel and turned on a fiery Hearth Thou hast of the Captivated TRIBES and scatterd-broken-off-branches bound in Chains under thy quarter let them forth for the mighty Day of God is Proclaimed and come XIII Unto the Angels of the Churches in AFRICA write what is ready to befal them in the Day and Hour of their Exaltation Since thou wast lifted up thy day is measured and when thou wast cast down thou hast been warned Yet once more hear pitty the Captives and give of thy Bread to him that cometh under the smiting of the South Wind lest when the awakened North Wind returns its blown Breath out of the Bellows of the Almighty it make thy burthen more then thou art able to bear XIV Thy Feet must tread on Mire and Clay and in like manner will Feet be set over thee But thou the darkest of Countreys I have many NAMES to be gathered out of thee therefore hasten and return when thy WORK is done and remember that thou art warned of what shall come to pass lest on the one hand thou shouldst be heightned in the day of thy Exaltation or left without information of that which will befall thee when thou art cast down for as thou dost unto others to wit the Captivity of the North so will it be done unto thee in the return of measure and weight XV. Say not any more I am strong for one of thy PRINCES is strong above thee and the Daughters of thy Land that have made up thy agreement with the King of the North will not retain the ARM nor prevail in thy strength and Dominion though thou carry away Captive the Inhabitants of that Land whose King hath reigned more years then the King of the South XVI Repent therefore quickly is the Voice of the Angel lest I come and smite thee unawares and remember when that is loosed and awakened which hath been compassed about by PISON and GIHON he that invadeth a strange Land shall place his glorious Habitation between the Seas that the scattered TRIBES may behold the Glorious City which they have been seeking and come forth into the NORTH to see a place prepared in the Kingdom by the Father for ASIA hath faln and is turned to Idols and hath given heed to lying Vanities XVII But both of you shall be purged together in a fiery Furnace until your supplication for Mercy be made able to prevail therefore let thy Princes consider for whom the controversie betwixt two great Kings doth work and thou that wert
I do unto such a People as this And therefore let the German Princes prepare for he is come forth that hath measured thy day the glory of Imperial Support cannot any longer defend the PAPAL Throne on which Foundation thou hast been raised up in great Excellency and exalted in mighty Pomp. Oh! how hath thy practice clouded the Glory of thy Profession and because of a Spirit of Cruelty that hath possessed the strength of thy Zeal in a mis-informed mind how hast thou laid a stumbling block in the WAY of the simple and caused the Ignorant to despise the truth of sound Doctrine XI Dost thou believe Purgation of the Body of Nature from the cause that hath held it down under the Power of Death wherein the Souls of the Righteous have remained crying and groaning under the Altar of God Why then continue ye in the enmity and Spirit of Cruelty to the life of the Just both in your selves and others for where that Life is not refreshed and nourished it dieth for want of strength because it is the Souls strengh to be fed with the Bread of Comfort in God wherein it receives all blessing from him and the Body also without that Spirit is dead XII It is the living therefore that can praise God aright in that power that entereth the Ear of the Dead for whom they stand in Jeopardy every hour making their Supplications unto God in his Spirit that breaketh open the Prison Doors and is come to Preach to the Spirits in Prison comforting the sick and weak that lyeth languishing under the Power of Death and visiting the needy in the day of its distress and calamity through which the dead becometh again raised up to life and immortality in GOD. XIII Many things I have to say unto thee because thou mixest thy inventions with the Doctrine of Truth and hast exalted thy self in the superstition of those gain-sayers that perished before thee great are the Tryals that have overtaken thee and that which is come upon thee cannot be parallel'd because of the end of all things that is come up before the LORD Have I not seen the going down of thy Glory among the Stars of the Night surely it is set in the WEST and it hath a SOUTH Cloud over its Beam but from the EAST is the Morning broke forth and towards the NORTH doth the Star shine that hath burning flames mentained in the dissolution of such forms of Nature that have caused an exhaling in the excremental parts of the fiery Heavens XIV And unto the Angel of the Churches in the separated Islands in the North the transplantation of Europe thy Names are many and divers art thou in the perswasion of thy Judgement in the Doctrinal part of Truth And these are become the Horns on the Heads of the BEAST in Nature which shall hate the WHORE that hath exalted SELF in the destruction of the glory of two Tribes for ten Tribes shall return to behold that which hath been healed up deceitfully in the appearance of the RAM from the EAST whose coming forth is to ex lt his Horns wherewith he shall be found pushing three wayes to wit WEST and NORTH and SOUTH XV. And there will be striving in the EARTH until a HOLY PEOPLE cometh to sit down in their own Land for God is come down into the forms of Nature and will work as in the dayes of old and every on that seeeth him shall be affected with his LOVE and shall mourn bitterly over him as his beauty cometh to be seen in the Earth and overspreadeth the Worlds but none shall be able to awaken his displeasure against others though he will cut off great and strong Nations in his way in his own time and not for the sake of the Wishers of mischief that may inkindle a fire in the Center of the ground from whence their life doth spring XVI But the Angel of my BELOVED hath given in charge unto the Daughters of SION that they awake not Gods displeasure neither stir up the Beloved desire of the welfare of all Nations before he please for you that profess zeal against Superstition see that you stand not above the ground of Humility from whence charity doth spring unto the distressed which worketh the WILL of God in the manifestation of Glory through the LIGHT of his countenance that is lifted up over the Nations by the arising of the Sun of Righteousness with healing in his WINGS XVII For I am well assured of the love of God to his despised Remnant and handful of little Ones trampled on by all and now set in the Front of the BATTEL in which Gods Cause hath engaged them though by the Mighty they are deserted as left to the rage and fury of the Devouring Enemy And I have beheld also such that have plenty in their own Houses yet are they found covetously lusting after one EWE-LAMB of the POOR And shall they prosper saith the LORD since his Sword which he hath not drawn in vain shall not depart from their House until Jerusalem become a quiet Habitation for evermore for an exercise hath sprung from their own Bowels through a Rebellious Seed that flattereth in the WAY XVIII But the ground of all this awakened Fury did break forth in the Spirit of the WORLD in the Nature of sensual Separations in the dispersed forms of the Apostatizing Spirit from its first Love by which the Faith of Gods Elect worketh But Gods intention is to purge his own House and Sanctuary first that his People may be white and clean from the Worldly Spirit of enmity and bitterness which springeth from the covetous Root that standeth in the lusting ground wherefore the BEAST hath power to exalt his HORN for a season XIX Therefore cease Oh cease ye MIGHTY of the EARTH to strive against the Lord for ye have been contending with one another in selfs concernment until your time of healing is well nigh spent in controversies and now hath God taken his own cause into his HANDS and hath it in consideration which he will plead for the Meek of the Earth in the Heart of their Enemies And notwithstanding many things are suffered for a Tryal of their FAITH to God who profess his Name and Truth yet is it not to destroy them but to purifie and refine them wherein Judgement is still strengthened against that part which hath given way to the power and work of the Enemy either in the Particular or General And I am assured deliverance will come in Gods time which is when his People are so sitted thereby that God can get himself a Name in their Salvation XX. And alas you Professors of Cristianity that are quarrelling with each other about the formal part of your Worship how have you lost your day until you are overtaken with a power of Darkness have ye not been afraid of those that should change your Laws and Customs and bring in contrary Orders wherein the ROMANS Power
her borrowed Light from that fourth House which is become her seat in the second House which is her House of Exaltation CHAP. IX Describing the Properties of the IMAGE in the FORMS of Nature that fell in the WATERS XLIX THe Head of the IMAGE which was Gold was the LYONS four first Golden Wings wherein the strength of ASSYRIA was broken the first time in what was pluck'd from the LYON according to that which fell in the WATERS and the Silver Brest which was the two Horns of the RAM in Nature is the strength of the MEDES and PERSIANS that were broken by the Power of GREECE whereby BABYLON spread abroad her Kingdoms in the rising up of the little BEAR on the LYONS side wherein was that second great LIGHT comprehended L. But from the NORTH did he move about the Heavens through his TAYL wherein Centred the Meridian point thereof holding in his Mouth those three Ribs that were taken out of his Side in his rising up to devour much Flesh Furthermore said the Angel of God The great BEAR or LEOPARD that thou sawest is that in which a third part of the Stars of Heaven are comprehended that have fallen unto the Earth which is the brazen Belly of the IMAGE in the FORMS of Nature even the Power of GREECE in that which is dispersed under the Four Winds of the Heavens LI. This is a Power of the South Wind wherein the brass Belly of the Image remained bound down with an Iron Bond of the NORTH Strength from which it could not be loosed in the four destroying ANGELS of God until that was ripened to the Day of Destruction wherein the Wound of the BEAST had been healed up deceitfully though three Horns were plucked up by the Roots while the stumps of the IMAGE continued fallen in ASIA for the discovering of the four Heads of the Beast in which he bore the form of a Leopard or GREAT Bear but the LITTLE Horn waxed strong and became GREAT towards the four Winds of the Heavens LII For as I beheld the Throne of God placed in his Holy Habitation the Ancient of Dayes was sat thereon wherein appeared his burning Wheels and the signs in the WATERY HEAVENS discovered that which rested in their TRIPLICITY from the Zodiack whence those Houses of Mansions have their Constellations And though the RAM in Nature had the first Form in the Fiery Triplicity and was the first House of those twelve Mansions as is the CALF the first Form in the Earthly Triplicity and second House in those Mansions yet through the WHEELS the HEAVENS and EARTH were moved toward a Change throughout the seven forms of Nature in EACH Triplicity LIII Wherein the Lyon hath the Face of the first Beast among the FORMS in Nature though in his fifth House that which shineth from his Seat is exalted in the Head and Face of the Ram. But both the Created and Uncreated Beings having their generated Forms in the Body of Nature the first Form in the Airy Triplicity hath the Face of an EAGLE exalting that which is generated into the Double-Bodied-Being to be his House that is sheltered under the Wing of Favour in that fourth Beast through whom Death strengtheneth those Accidents that are drawn from the FIRST Form in the WATERY Triplicity from whence all changeable Courses do work up Life in the Brest of Nature wherein the SPIRIT of the Creature doth move which is the Candle of GOD through which Glory is put forth in those borrowed QUALITIES of Light LIV. Though from Barenness in the worldly Nature wherein the Glory of the Virgin hath been stained cancered crabbed Qualities have infected the Body whereby it hath sprung up and grew until from the second Form in the Earthly Triplicity the VIRGIN who hath sat in a dark place even the Bowels of Nature which is the sixth House in the Heavens came to put off her night Robes for the Glory of the Birth exalted in the separation of all mixt Qualities which is HEIR of everlasting Renown LV. Yet in the Watery Triplicity where in the Bodies Courses have been defiled through that which hath lain secretly lurking in the Members whereby the FORMS of Nature have power to generate an IMAGE of the Minds Delight the Womb hath opened to the Power of Death and letting in Sorrow into that which is possessed in the Eighth House whence the WORLDS are generated under a Power of Corruptian the Nature of the SCORPION stingeth in the Habitation of that second Form in the Watery Triplicity through the Pleasure under which its Subjects are allured for the multiplying of what is generated to secret content CHAP. X. Describing the MYSTERY of the Four Horses of four several Colours on which the four ANGELS that are loosed c. are come forth exalted LVI THrough the coming forth of the Son of MAN in the CLOUDS of Heaven who was cloathed with a Rain-Bow in which are all the colours of the Heavens in their pure Element as the Powers of Nature became subject to the exalted of God he rod on those CLOUDS that were dispersed abroad under the Four Winds of the Heavens as on the Rain-Bow in the Firmament whence every Angel of God is seen in his Beauty and Glory bending to the Son of his Love and Favour through whom he manifesteth the Life of Delight according to the source they possess and inhabit from the eleventh House of Mansions in the third Form of the Airy Triplicity like unto HORSE men that guide the Chariot of Nature LVII For the preparing of which DAY in its time those Goats have been suffered to come forth imbodyed in that which is loosed out of the bottomless Pit whereby the Earth hath been covered with Locusts wherein pangs have rested on those Men that have the Mark of the Beast Therefore saith the Angel of God In that third Being in the FIERY Triplicity wherein the form of the Son of Man is come forth exalted in the Clouds of Heaven through that which smiteth the EARTHLY Triplicity in its third part among the Forms of Nature the BOW Man is riding on his White Horse and over the White Clouds of the Heavens he hath spread his Glory from the North because of those flying Goats in his Way whose ratlings are like the Chariot-Wheels of the FURIOUS Drivers LVIII And in the Watery Triplicity the burning Mountain continueth in flaming from that which is cast into the Sea which doth rage and swell because of the disquiet that is come into its part of the Triplicity in that Watery Form over whom the Glories of the Heavens do not shine in that third part and wherein both Earth and Waters and all that live therein or move thereon are smitten in the aforesaid third part that resteth its torment on the seat of the BEAST into which Glory hath shined from the Heavens in the operation of those Signs of the Times LIX From whence I see great Alterations and Changes attending the
