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
either in general or particular Concerns so narrow is the Heart of the Creature tyed up in his Generations and cannot see the good of any thing in Posse though that which is in Esse Self is continually labouring for Interest in yet consider the want of Faith in the World concerning any Help and Deliverance to the Oppressed after which they have fixed Expectations shall not always keep down and hinder the day we groan after but it shall come when Faith is scarce to be found on the Earth and Deliverance shall spring up to the Afflicted as well concerning outward Oppressures as inward when they are left as Men without hope XXXV But none of those that are in the fanning Love and out-side shews of Humility in appearances under any pretence whatever of a universality of Spirit while in a sensual Separation they continue rending themselves from the Body of Fellowship in God wherein is the holy Order of Saints will be able to stand and hold out the indurance of the Tryals that are come into the Worlds though for a Time they make Parties and have Headships in the Divisions of Men about Opinionatedness for it is that every thing may appear in its birth that the Mystery of Iniquity hath been suffered to work and the Selfish Love in appearances of Humility is one with the Spirit of the WORLD in which it is grounded and founded and the day hath made it manifest XXXVI For it is not lo here or lo there will now hide the Professor neither A. nor P. in Profession or that thou hast Love or Zeal in thy Heart but what art thou joyned to in the exercise thereof that leveneth NATURE into a Principle it is that which will discover whose Side thou art on which I long since have had a perfect sight of and that both the fearful and unbelieving of God and his Goodness that for want of Zeal to God in the Cause and Case in which they once have appeared seek to cover their dead mind in a habit of Love and Forgiveness and while filled with the Power of Death they move and reach after a sence in others under which they would be apprehended to live and also the Proud and Presumptious who are heightned in a fierceness of that fiery Zeal could be content to persecute for their OPINIONATEDNESS with Tongue or might of Arm and both will joyn hands to conclude the matter under which a Mystery doth work XXXVII This is already seen and that Doctrines of Truth may be received and believed that have Universal Principles and yet retained in a narrow empty Heart whereby the Cause for which the Just doth suffer is maintained in a Ground that is evil to the Life of Jesus who lighteth every man c. and therefore the Nature of what springeth from thence effecteth that which is contradictory to good sence but I leave the Issue thereof to God who is the Highest and Chiefest GOOD whereby the Creature who is the Subject on which it doth work may come to grow into Unity of Spirit with Him therein wherein Time and Place is measured and comprehended in the incomprehensible Beauty of Holiness which shineth in and over all his Works and standeth in the excelling Properties of that Vertue that transcends the worth of all visible created things which are all to perish in that state of Corruption under which they are brought forth BEAUTIFUL into MANIFESTATION that many may come to comprehend with all Saints what is the height and depth and length and breadth of these things as they are in JESUS XXXVIII But the order of what hath relation to a Publique Good herein depends on a Ground that hath the Truth of all Prophecy opened in the concern it hath to both outward and inward man of which a large Testimony is already given forth in the passage of all those that died in the Faith of the Day many are become Witnesses of and do see and possess great Glory therein through a sence of Redemption and Restauration come unto and come up in the Worlds in its Principles in the several and respective States where many have been found wandering from Satisfaction in the progress of the Work which leads up unto God and therefore concerning the Times and Seasons for which the Vision is set and made to speak thou shalt count a year for a day from the Creation of the Worlds in the Generations of ADAM according to the days of the Life of ENOCH which were 365 years wherein is the ground of all Prophecie comprehended in number and figure that is now made able to utter its voice XXXIX And it will appear to be the fifteenth day of the fifth Month of the sixteenth year since the Creation of the Worlds in the Generations of Adam to this present year 1665. wherein thou shalt count in each month 28 days and â…” parts between New Moon and New Moon counting the beginning of the Month from the Phasis or first appearing-time thereof and from the fifteenth year the Worlds stood divided in that which rested the Judgment of GOD which is brought thereinto on its fourth part or North Quarter over which the Eagle hath had Power in the time the Dragon remained bound down in the bottomless Pit with a chain of the Angel of GOD while those that had received the first Fruits of Joy and Comfort in the Spirit of God and that are made partakers of the first Resurrection have raigned in the Dominion and Power of God in that which hath quickned the Spirit of the Souls of the once dead in Sins and Trespasses as of those Spirits in Prison unto whom the Preacher of Redemption is become manifest XL. And by fifteen degrees of the Sun according to which it hath gone ten degrees backward on the Worlds and in which the Days of the Month and Months of the Year are equally divided thou shalt be made able to measure the Worlds in what is discernable and whence Glory descendeth into Nature from the Equinoctial Pole according to its Elevation counting in the Diurnal Motion of the Wheels wherein a Day standeth for a Year in its figure according to the times and seasons under which the Worlds have multiplied their number to the Generations that are come to possess the Substance of the Wilderness Travel where Moses saith I appoint ye a Year for a Day c. for fifteen Minutes of one degree of the Sun to make one minute of an hour of the day each hour being fifteen degrees of the Sun but in the Annual motion in the Wheels by ONE degree of the Sun there is signified a year and in a month is signified five minutes as doth one minute signifie six days and some odd hours of a degree of the Sun which hath four minutes of an hour to every degree of the Sun in its diurnal Course of Motion XLI But wherein the fifteenth year made its Revolution in the first month of the sixteenth
