of captivity and bondage into the place of rest or to that place which I wil make to be the resting place for thy light shal increase and grow bigger and bigger when all other lights shal be put out for I am the light even I the Lord of host who wil make you to shine most illubriously and gloriously even so bright that the Gentiles even my chosen ones whom I have made much of my glory out unto they shal see and know that your light doth not shine there because it is my pleasure for to make my light shine upon you even upon the Jewes who through unbelief were broken off and Gentiles were grafted in but now I wil appear unto them and wil give them hearts to believe on my name and so wil make them the desires of all nations even all nations shal long and desire for to come to thy light because my glory shal be seen upon thee when I have forsaken all other administrations besides this of mine which I wil make more illustriously to shine even to draw up my sons and daughters into spiritual communion with my self and so they shal worship me in spirit and in truth and Kings shal come in even great men of the Gentiles shal be with you for Kings shal come to the brightness of thy rising even when thou hast risen from that death which thou art for the present subject to so that thy brightness shal appear in a more extraordinary manner then now it doth even then shal kings be brought to see thy rising and to behold thy glory by my bright appearing and manifesting my glory unto you then shal thy glory far surpass all the glory and beauty of the world besides and none shal be like to thee for beauty and comliness for I wil make thee to shine so gloriously that thou shalt dazle the eyes of all the earth and all the earth shal stand and be amazed at thee for the kings that shal come to thee shal be such whom I have or shal crown with my love and favour and so my love shal cause them to come to the brightness of thy rising even thine O Iewes who are by nature descended from Abraham and so are Hebrewes and are and shal be made the praise and glory of all nations for these Kings shal see no light and comfort besides I the Lord of host and therefore shal they be brought to thy rising and shal see I the Lord of host in a more especial manner appear to you in Ierusalem whom I wil cause to be inhabited and made the praise of the whole earth in such glory as they shal not be able to tarry behinde but shal come to the brightness of thy rising even when the nations of the earth shal see that I the Lord of host hath raised thee up from that poor estate and condition that thou art now in even from death and slavery and so from darkness into a most glorious condition â—nd so to make thee shine most bright and clear O Sion and daughter of Ierusalem that was a poor and peeled remnant scattered abroad in al the world evenwhen I thy God shal raise thee up from this condition make my glory to bee seen upon thee then shalt thou be enquired after even by kings and great men who shal stand amazed at thy glory and honour where with I wil honour thee in this thy day from the resurrection from the dead which I wil raise thee nito a condition of life and peace which shal be the first resurrection from the dead and so no more darkness or any longer shal Satan or death have power over thee but thou being raised from the dead shal now live and raigne with me a thousand years which thousand years shal be for ever even to eternity and Satan shal never have any power over thee O Sion the praise of the whole earth but thou shal sing and rejoyce and shal go with singing and rejoycing when others shal be thrown into hel even to be deprived of my love and favour which I wil shew unto thee O daughter of Sion whoâ— I wil gather into the Land of Judea and without shal be those that shal apprehend me to be angry with them and so their own consciences witnessing against them and accusing of them wil condemn them for their unbeliefe and hardness of heart and so their hel shal be by being pricked in their own consciences that they have offended me and so shal suffer by the reason they condemn themselves and so shal be in hel because they shal not have any joy or comfort from me to them that I am a God of love to them and even this portion shal those drinke of that stiles themselves to be ministers and are sent to preach by me the Lord of host and they know not me neither can they by all their humane wisdome or Phylosophie attaine to the mistery which I wil make out unto them whom I shal be pleased for to do even for to make out my power and name and so to cause them to see my glory which I wil hide from the learned ones of the world and wil make choice of the unlearned and so wil make them to run when I send them to do my message even as I stirred up poor herds-men and trades-men before the Gospel in the old times and in the primitive times when I refused the Priests pharisees and leaders of the people in those daies and so those that pretend to be the heads and leaders of the people as Priests and Lawyers even they shal drink deeper then any of my sore displeasure because their consciences wil accuse them and so condemn them for not doing that which they know they should do and so they shal with the rest be thrown into the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is not meant material fire or brimstone but is meant the apprehensions which the ungodly shal have of me who am a burning consuming fire not aprehending I their God to be a God of love and peace which thou daughter of Sion whom I wil bring with joy into Ierusalem wil cause it to be built up in glory so wil make you for to inhabite there shal do by my rising upon you causing of you to shine so to be glorious in all the earth Lift up thine eies round about and see all they gather themselves together they come to thee thy sons shal come from far and thy daughters shal be nursed at thy sides Oye my Sons and daughters whom I wil bring up into Judea even you that are by nature Jewes and so are natural Iewes lift up your eies behold looke and behold and see all they gather themselves together even the Gentiles gather themselves together for to come up to thee O Sion whom I have gathered in Judea and have made the praise of the earth even for the glory wherewith I wil glorifie
be on the contrary shine hold forth the glory of me your creator and redeemer who have ransomed you from the hands of them that were stronger then you shine and let my glory be seen upon you for they shal be afraid of you that hate you shine ye therefore and be like so many stars that shines in the Firmament and glister like so many as the only people that are redeemed from death to light for thy light is come I am your life and light and by being absent from you your condition was a condition of death and darkness and you were compassed about with abundance of sorrow by being scattered abroad in the world but I who am your life and light even I the mighty God of Jacob am now risen to bring you into your own country even together ö daughter of Sion shout and rejoyce and cry aloud Sing and make merry and be glad in your King who am now Risen with mighty power for to bring you into your own land therefore rejoyce and sing for thy light is come Sion that vvas scattered abroad but now shal be gathered into your own country even into Judea for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you even my glory is risen upon thee for to bring thee out of a strange country and as Pilgrims and sojourners into your country there for to make my glory and light shine and rest upon thee for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even upon thee ö captive daughter of Sion for to make you see and know that I have purposed to bring you into your own country once again and there to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the earth to see and know my power by which I do things saith I the Lord of host who hath caused my glory for to arise upon thee for you have now a more surer word of prophesie to which you do well to take heed as to a light that shineth in a darke place until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts this was given to the church in that age who was to observe the word of the Apostles then and at that time they being but babes and children so had a rule for to walk by which rule the Apostle bids them take heed unto that they walke by it for how long even saith the same Apostle until the day break until there be some further appearance of light a more glorious dispensation then now is and the day star in your harts that is until you do see know God dwelling in you and so do see know Christ who is the bright and morning star to be one with the Father Son holy Ghost but one God dwelling in you who is your life and strength and so to see this God in love to be your All and in all and the very life of all things til then you being weake have had need of a writen rule to walke by but now you have no longer need of any thing to walk by no not the Scripture to walk by for I even your King and Lord wil be unto you Scripture and Law and rule and ways and formes of worships yea I wil be all arise and shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even my glory shall now shine upon thee for to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the joy of all the nations arise and shine for behold darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people arise shine your condition wil and shal be happy saith I the Lord of host who hath made my glory to shine upon you even upon you ö Sion whom I wil gather into Judea from amongst other people but I wil tel you one thing even you whom I do gather up into Judea for behold this darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people even when you shal see light and walk in light and have light to be your guide and have my glory shining upon you even then shal others the earth be covered with darkness for there shal be no clear light and sun shining upon the earth even upon those that come not up to worship me the Lord of host in Jerusalem but instead of light there shal be darkness and instead of breaking forth of light there shal be a mist and a cloud that shal overspread it self for a while so that they that go not up to Jerusalem shal not have that clear light neither shal they see and know that glory which I wil and shal make out to you ö Sion for you ö Sion shal eat and drink and be ful and have the bread of life and water of life when they that come not up shal be in want and shal be hungry when Sion shal be ful for I wil take away all their food even their formes and wayes of worship and wil utterly destroy them and bring them to nothing for these things as forms of worship have they had some comfort in using them but I wil leave these dispensations wherein I have formerly appeared and wil make darkness cover the earth in this sence for I wil deprive them of all their formes and Church governments for I wil forsake them and they shal receive no benefit by them even darkness shal cover them that they shal not see light in them even gross darkness even such a darkness wil and shal light upon poor creatures that walke by forms and so think to be carried to heaven upon the sholders of their Priests but darkness yea such darkness that both Priest and people shal be amased for they shal be driven out of their common-road and so shal be forced to seek a new way even this darkness shal light upon those that are malicious and ful of envy and so would of a sudden destroy their fellow creatures darkness wil and shal overcome such for though they preach and pray yet al wil not save them but that they must be destroyed and brought to nothing for saith the Lord of host darkness shall cover the earth there wil be no clear sight of God and no clear sight of my way for they shal not come to my knowledge and so to the enjoyment of me here or in any place but where Sion shal be gathered together even my people whom I have raised from the dead and so wil bring them up to Sion at Ierusalem the City where formerly I dwelt which is in Judea and there I wil make them shine and be the glory of the whole earth and after this first resurrection that they shal have for to be raised from a condition of death and slavery into a condition of joy and life where the Second death shal have no power over them for this is the resurrection wherein I wil set you free from all death and you shal dy no more for I wil be your life and you
shal live for evermore for now shal appear the sign of the Son of man coming in the ayre which sign of my coming is now forasmuch as I the Lord of host doth begin to declare unto my servants what I do now intend to do for this ayre where it is said then shall appear the sign of the Son of man is not meant only the ayre above but rather that ayre which is in this earth of yours for as your bodies are earthy so are they aëry for they even your bodys are not compounded only of earth but of aire and so I appearing in your bodies and so making choice of instruments for to do my work and my strange worke that is my sign or the sign of the Son of man coming in the aire which sign is for to give people warning of what I intend to do that so if I find them not doing what I would have them to do they may the better be judged by me and so punished for not doing of what I would have them do for the appearing of my sign is to declare unto them that I am coming to judge and destroy all things in man especially in my Saints besides my self and so to raise my son up from that grave and place of imprisonment as now for the present lies in even to restore her to life that she may dy no more for blessed are they that have part in the first resurrection on whom the second death shall have no power it is a most joyful saying to them that have themselves raised up to be brought into such a place where they shall die no more which will be at the place where I have appointed to make my self glorious and so vvil appear in my glory and so make my povver knovvn by being a God of povver vvho have raised up Sion from amongst their enemies and have brought her into her ovvn land even into a place vvhere she my wife and I must be married and so they shal live for ever and never dy no more for my Sion shal be changed so shal become nevv for the old man vvhich for the present they carry about them shal be destroyed and the nevv man Christ shal come forth and so they shall live for ever and never dy more and so after this they shal be as the Angels of God as my son Christ said that should neither marry or be given in marrige but shal live in the ful enjoyment of me vvho am the Lord of host that lives for evermore for vvhen they are brought into the ful and perfect enjoyment of me and be at peace vvith themselves so as they shal never marry or give themselvs in marriage according to the customes of us novv these customs shall vvholy be destroyed and a nevv one shal come in that they shall live in pure and perfect enjoiment of me their creator and so shal have the use of those vvhom I appoint together and so shal have the use of one another For the Angels that neither marry or give themselves in marriage are not any created substances besides man as to be in a place above the skies keeping of me company in one place yea though it is true the Angels the good angels as you cal them that left not their first estate do keep me company and are where I am and where I be there they be For these Angels made mention of and also them made mention of in Peter that left their first estate and so are reserved in chaines of darkness unto the great day are no other angels then what is in man For I the Lord of host made man purely good and before he fel he was holy just and upright being a pure Angel of mine and so one that should never dy if he had continued in the condition as he was set in but it was the pleasure of I the creator to set him in such a condition as I knew wel enough he should fal for had it been the pleasure of I the Lord he should have stood and so have lived for ever for if he had stood and lived for ever then should not my power have bin seen so much as it is now for this Adam was made good and just and all things in him and all things besides him were good and not evil but yet notwithstanding out of this Adam who was made good and just did proceed a Serpent for to beguil Eve the weaker vessel and this Serpent was not a serpent a creature that poisons and so lives as a creature no but this Serpent was within Eve and Adam and so was somthing from Adam degenerated from its institution from what it should be to what it should not be and that is this as Adam was made good and no evil was to be seen in him as I the Lord of host hath declared at the first but that I the Lord gave him reason and knowledge and wisdome which in themselves were very good for by these things he did differ from the beasts and from every living creature and by these things as reason knowledge and wisdome did he give unto every creature which I the Lord God had made and also did he know the nature of every green herbe and of every thing as to give them a name Thus was Adam in his first estate good furnished with every thing and so did live in paradise even in God and so had the pure and perfect enjoyment of the creator that made him but it did please me for to let him alone and Eve especially being the weaker vessel and not able to contain her self in that condition as to know much and do little but she did put her self forward in a way for to eat the apple that she was commanded to let alone for she had so much reason wisdome and knowledge as that she knew wel enough that if she did eate of the fruit she should have bin as God and this the Serpent who being a more subtil creature then any of the beasts of the field was did urge Eve for to eat of the fruit which Serpent was no other but that reason wisdome and knowledge which is the spirit of men and women and is in man very good of it self if man had but power for to keep it under from going about to do that it should not do and this was the only Serpent that made Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit even that reason knowledge and wisdome that was in her for that reason and knowledge wisdome that was in her did degenerat from what it should do and did do what it should not the degenerating from what it should do was its pride by doing what it should not do as it was given her for to know how she should keep perform that she had a command for to do It was good in its self but instead of keeping she breaks the command that by being beguiled by the Serpent which is
the outvvard court to be trodden under foot even al forms rules and vvorships and governments of men vvhich they have set up to be consumed and destroyed and brought to nothing and so I alone to be al in al vvhen I doth this it shal surely come to pass even then shal the poor creatures be in darkness and not able to see light by reason of my withdrawing my self to my own place and dispensation even into my Iudea there for to make my light shine there to appear gloriously in and amongst my Saints whom all shal acknowledge that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed therefore my drawing my self into this peculiar place for to make my self glorious and so to make my name in far greater esteem by all sorts of men then now it is I wil make my light shine in a far more greater and glorious manner then now it doth for I wil be the praise of the whole earth I dwelling in my people and my people dwelling in me and I will measure the inward court even my Temple wherein all flesh and fleshlyness shal cease and be no more and I alone wil appear to be King and the only ruler and so wil cause my light to shine upon them when darkness shal cover the earth which darkness and gross darkness shal be by reason of my not shining in the world for all people shal be left in darkness and not in light that come not up to the place of rest where I wil cause my people for to ly down in peace and so to be at rest and so to be quiet and be in peace When nothing but sorrow and pricks of conscience shal accompany those that go not up to Jerusalem for that must be built in glory again set on her foundation so this manifestation of God not appearing to the creature shal be hel the lake of fire wherein the wicked and all witches must be tormented and â—his hel wil be in every place where I do not appear in love to the creature for wherein I do appear in love there shal be joy peace no sorrow and where I do not appear in love there shal be nothing but hel for hel shal be in this world even in these bodyes shal men be tormented even by being cast out and not suffered to enter into the city where nothing but peace shal be but dogs and sorcerers shal be without even they shal be in hel until the restitution of all things come that there shal be no more divel nor hel which wil be for all the divel and hel and all witches shal cease then even in the year 7000. for that shal be a year of Jubilee to all sorts of people when all sorts then shal be brought into my love and favour and shal so remaine and they shal dy even men shal dy as formerly they used to do that go not up to Jerusalem even they shal dy and be subject to change until the time comes that they shal dy no more but my people shal hear the sound of the Arch-Angel and they being dead in Christ shal be raised up to meet the Lord in the ayre even from that death they are for the present subject to and so shal even in a moment at the founding of the last trumpet be changed in a moment even in the twinkling of an eye and so shal be raised up from death into life and from sorrow unto joy and happiness and so shal be ever with the Lord of host and so shal dy no more but live for ever and all the Saints shal come with I the Lord of host even to be glorified and so to receive what bodies it shal please I their King to give them there for it is true that my sons and daughters shal be brought to be glorified and shal have bodies given them though not the same bodies of clay as formerly they had even they shal beraised up to live reign for evermore even my Saints as the Saints formerly were raised out of the graves and walked up and down so shal my Saints be now raised up to be at Ierusalem in glory for the Jerusalem is the place which I have chosen for to make my name glorious and the place of my Saints heaven for though people talk of heaven above there is none heaven above is my self drawing my Saints into my fulness then I bring them into my third heaven which is my highest dispensation and the highest discovery of my love to them and this heaven shal be here on earth even at Jerusalem and the place about Jerusalem where I wil appoint my Sons and Daughters to be and this shal be their heaven they shal live in the ful enjoyment of I the Lord Almighty and they shal see all former things to be passed away and all things become new and they shal live in pure love and in the full enjoyment of I the Lord of host who hath made them holy whom I wil alwaies cause to rejoyce and sing and leap for joy of heart because former troubles are passed away and all are now become new and all things shal be new for the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints and the Lord will raign in mount Sion for evermore even I the mighty God of Jacob wil raign for ever over my people and over my enemies and all shal become subject to me But the Lord shal arise upon thee and his glory shal be seen upon thee when nothing but darkness shal be in the earth and in the outward court though there be nothing else in the earth but darkness such darkness as men earthly men shal have no comfort at all in all their outward formes and waies of worships which is the outward court and is not to be measured at all but is to be left to be trodden under foot as that which shal come to nothing and as a thing of no account by Aliens and Gentils even by such as know not me the Lord But as for my sons and daughters whom I have made choice of so wil bring them into Judea there to make my glory to be seen amongst them then shal they see that I am risen upon them and so consequently they are the inward court which is to be measured and so to be made much of even that new man Christ the anointed that is in them shal increase and grow so strong in every kind or degree that their old man Adam shal be destroyed and quite brought to nothing and then in these I mean the Jews and Gentiles which shal be gathered into Iudea the Land of promise where my glory shal be seen and made to appear to all the world and the partakers of this great glory shal be the inward Court that shal be measurable and made glorious and the inward shal increase more and more and so it shal at length break forth in
