Blood of God to satisfy their thirsty Souls as Moses gave the People Water out of the stony Rock to drink to satisfy their natural Thirst The Prophet hath brought Believers to the Knowledge of the true God his Form and Nature he hath brought them to feed upon the Flesh of God and to drink his Blood by Faith for the Mind of Man do eat and drink as really as the natural Body doth whereby their Souls have never thirsted nor hungred more after the Forgiveness of Sins or Satisfaction of Mind as to things of Eternity Also the Prophet has been a burning shining Light in this last Age as John Baptist was in his time a Light that has discovered the Darkness of all the World in spiritual and heavenly things for it is Light that discovers Darkness and hath not the Prophet enlightened the Understanding of many that in Light they see Light he hath fed the People with the true Knowledge of God and the true Knowledge of the right Devil with the Knowledge of Scripture and all other Heavenly Secrets which are hid from all other People in the World Besides hath not the Prophet taken the People by the Hand as Moses did and pull'd them out from the Spirit of Bondage in their Minds which kept them under fear burning Brick and Clay in the fiery Furnaces of their Minds and delivered them from the Task-masters in Egypt the Prophet hath led them through the barren Wilderness of their Minds and has brought them into that Paradise of Peace where the Tree of Life standeth in the midst of the heavenly Canaan above the Stars And many of them have stretched forth the Hand of Faith and have taken of the Tree of Life and eaten and live for ever and so are set down at rest there ●nd do not all the People in the World besides perish for want of Knowledge but those few who have been led and guided by the Prophet he hath blest many of them and led them in the way of Peace a strait and narrow way that few can find and when they have wanted Comfort of Mind he hath comforted them and when they have been weak in Faith and Knowledge he hath strengthen'd them and when any of their Brethren have been to strong one for the other he hath holpen the weak up and when Brethren condemn and judge one another he would not suffer the strong to trample upon the Weak and Feeble but would lift them up and uphold them with his own Knowledge so that no People under the Sun live better for the generality than those People who are obedient to or under the Prophet Hath the Prophet been a Burden or Oppressive to any of the Faith let them speak and he will restore them two-fold or hath he favoured the Rich or oppressed the Poor nay hath he not forced the Rich to help the Poor For the Yoke laid upon the Neck of those People by the Prophet is easier and lighter both for Spiritual and Temporal than the Yoke of any other People whatsoever And now I shall speak to you in particular and ask the Cause why you rebelled against me what Cause did I give you to rebel were you offended at my Words and because I did bear with many Weaknesses of some of your Brethren in the Faith and had Compassion on them and would not suffer them to be too much oppressed in Spirit for the guilt of their own Sins and judg'd and condemn'd by their Brethren in the same Faith because they were of corrupt Natures The Prophet must bear with corrupt Natures though you cannot as well as with pure uncorrupt Natures so doth God himself Prophets are not sure that all uncorrupt Natures will believe him so that if the Prophet hath not Power to uphold some corrupt Natures that believe him to what Purpose then should God send him And will you find fault with the Prophet for being merciful to corrupt natur'd Men whose Nature is more corrupt than yours Yet the Prophet hath upheld you this many Years You may remember when you came first acquainted with me that there was some Difference between Claxton and you and Claxton was high in Knowledge at that time and you weak and low and his Faith was over you and above you and did keep you under though his wicked Life had been worse than yours yet your Legal Righteousness between Man and Man would not have delivered you from his Power had not the Prophet kept him under and when you made your Complaint to me I strengthen'd you against him and upon your Request I bless'd you and you became in my Favour and when any spoke against your Wrathful Nature Words and Actions I pleaded for you and upheld you against them Also I led you in a Way which you knew not and in a Path which was not known to any but my self even the Way and Path of Peace I brought you to the Church of the First-born of God even to the Assembly of Saints for there are no true Saints this Day on Earth but those that are under the Prophet I brought you with the rest of Saints from under Mount Sinai that is from being under that fiery Law written in your Hearts Therefore did Paul thank God that he was delivered from that Law of Sin and Death and so doth every one that is delivered from being under that fiery Law written in his Heart I led you by the Hand of Faith through the barren Wilderness of your Minds that is barren of true heavenly Peace I led you from thence unto Mount Sion the City of the living God I shewed you the holy Hill of Sion I shewed you the Habitation of God in Heaven above the Stars I gave you the Interpretation thereof viz. The City of the Living God signifies God's reigning in all true Believers in the Kingdom of Glory as he did here on Earth in the Kingdom of Grace for all true Believers are the City of the living God and Mount Sion signifies the Habitation of God in Heaven where all true Believers shall be brought as Moses did the Children of Israel he brought them to the Temporal Mount Sion where God did use to appear and the Prophet hath brought the Believers of this Commission to that Spiritual Mount Sion where God uses to appear now And the Holy Hill of Sion which I shew'd you signifies the holy God himself in the spiritual as Moses led the People to that Holy Hill of Sion in the Temporal And the Holy Hill of Sion which I shewed you in the Spiritual signifies the Holy God himself from whom Prophets Apostles and Saints receive their most Holy Faith Revelation and Prophecy in the Original Also I brought you to the Spirits of just Men made perfect by Faith as Noah a Preacher of Righteousness by Faith built an Ark and Lot by Faith received two Angels therefore called righteous Lot Abraham by Faith would have offered up his Son therefore called
