In the Night season I heard a Voice crying Holy Holy who can enter where the Terrible Majesty of Holiness doth dwell Then was presented to me somewhat all over covered as with Swans Wings no other proportion seen and it was said This all white Nazarite may enter in here is no Partition-Wall or Skreen that will intervene After this pass'd away it was opened to me This was no other then the White Dove Body of the Holy Ghost that could wing up into the Jerusalem Court where the Antient of Days did sit to receive and welcome the Spirit of the Bride thus embodied and all attired with Plumes of White signifying the necessity of passing through the Swan-like Washings Which do make us thus pure and white for the bringing into this Virgin-state where nothing is heard to cry but Holiness to the Most High For said the Word No other can enter here therefore see what you must attain to be Swan-like keeping upon the River pure which doth proceed from the Throne Where do you abide till you come to the tenth Number washing-Tide that may present you the all fair and lovely Bride to enter in and looking find where their needs no more Sea for washing but firm Golden Ground there to walk with your Dove-Mate Who doth wait to see you come up as Sheep from the Washing each one bearing Twins in the fruitful Nature of the Holy Ghost from within that overspreading Wing to put forth and to take its Flight to this City of Light wherein Holiness is writ without and within August the 27th 1676. Being upon my Watch-Tower to heat and learn what further Remove we must go forward to and Eagerly pressing to get out from under the Reign of the Ten Horned Beast who doth daily at us push as being exalted to that Pinacle of Power which doth command all these lower Worlds imprinting its mark on the whole Universe who are under his Planet born and in his Kingdom found Out from which our Lord with many Trumpets sounds hath called us this Word anew was uttered Ah come and see the Thousand Years Reign of the Lamb are upon the Entring by those who are worthy to find a part in the first Resurrection This only will free from the decree of unavoidable Death which is the Wages of the Sin-deformed Beast who is to return again to the Lake at the time when Jesus begins his Reign Lo the old Dragon who in the Beastly Nature hath governed will be laid hold upon by the strong Angel who hath prevailed to chain him up and also to obliterate both his Image and Name that have lived and reigned in this visible World in such mighty Fame But strong and omnipotent is he who saith Behold I come to sound that Trumpet which shall bring forth a new World for an end of the Old is come before me in them who will be found the first model of this new Creation which will consist all of new raised Spirits with their full grown Bodies bearing the Lamb's Mark and Name as Sheep of another Pasture and Fold feeding in such a rich Soil as maketh fat and flourishing meet to stand in the view of the great King whom you must come up to in your new risen Immaculate Spirit and Body that we may see you are the right Heirs now grown up for the Kingdom to whom the Key of the Government doth belong Being passed through this Kingdom standing out against all his imposed Traditions Mark and Name whereby you were to be proved whether or no ye would bow to his unrighteous and pernitious Power and Scepter Against which still maintain your Ground and hold out for your ten daies Tribulation are not all fully expired in which time the Dragon will have great rage knowing his date is almost worn out as to those that have gone through the beheading for the Resurrection-Life sake For which death's hour of Temptation holding out a weighty Crown will be sent down and put on by him in the sight of all your Enemies who will maintain his right upon and over the Earth with these his tried Stones to unite his power to as with them to reign till you shall see all and every thing put under which now is above you for when my Name is known to spring within the Resurrection Body and to open in Majesty doubt not but thereto every Knee shall bow and will bring their Gifts and entreat your aspect and favour The God and Father of Lights having anointed you above your Fellows and reinstated you with me to a Throne of dignity where all in the lower Sphear shall be judged by you having received Kingly Power not for hours or dayes but for to endure throughout all Generations Now consider as wise Princely Virgins what for a while ye may yet encounter with during the Dragon's reign Do not fear him nor his Scorpion Stings which now will hardly come into you his place being demolished and his Towers falling and the new Body rising wherein nothing of his Kingdom can be more found which he seeing it will make his Kingdom to tremble that power is now assuming that will bind the crooked Leviathan who still sends out his poisonous Floods to destroy this Birth of Life which shall reign over all by him who hath gotten the Victory over the Fall and came up with great boldness shewing your bloody marks through the fight of Faith whereby ye may make claim to the Bride and the Ivory Throne there with her to lodge live and reign in everlasting fame Amen crieth your Bridegroom from Heaven August the 28th 1676.

FRom the 6th of this present to the 13th I have been exercised in great Conflicts upon and through a sudden surprize upon the mortal part of my Companion and Fellow-Labourer in that Paradisical Husbandry he being smote and struck as with a Leviathian Dart upon his Animal and Vital Spirit the first time was on the Monday being abroad upon his returning home which went over again The next Day about the same time a Feaver took him and in great Violence ceased on his Heart and so he wrestled a good space of time in great Anguish which so affected me that I drew in and awakned a great Travel for his escape from these Sorrows of Death which had so ceased upon him I having had some warning of an imminent Danger and Peril which I saw the Night before he was first affâ—…cted and came down to advertise him hereof before he went from home As thus there was a deep Pit with great Swelling Waters under which the subâ—…il Levia than with his outstretched Jaws did lie to grasp in such as near there did walk Now the Doctor with my self being that way to pass I heard a word uttered Be ware come not too near it is a dangerous place Upon which I watchful was and took good heed and avoided it that the Doctor might not therein be ingulphed but draw off with all speed Which did predict there was some Danger nigh this being the Pit of Death as by the effect thereof soon did shew it self But the mighty Jehovah hereunto a Counter-check did give to reverse what the destroying Angel was upon executing For this second assault was very grievous being upon Tuesday which did abide on his vital Spirits from 4 in the Afternon till 10 at Night In which interim a Daniel's Spirit did come down which in us did Pray with mighty fervency winged up by Faith as knowing that in this ascending Power stood our help For after I had ceased and the Doctor began to Pray I saw a bright Star dance about his Bed and a Word came with it unto me I have heard and I will deliver for my own Name sake out of the present Jaws of Death This was a signal Evidence that Saving Health was near and that in this Hour of Exercise Jesus with his Healing Vertue would appear which soon after was witnessed So the Pains for that time were asswaged and he slept that Night and the next Day had respite So as we did hope this Storm was gone over But on Wednesday Night he found himself ill again So together we did seek the Lord for his Counsel whether or no he might venture upon some outward means to help to remove that violent Humour which by that strong Leviathan would have grasped away his Life For without permission from the Court and College of our Spiritual Physicians we dared not to adventure because we had committed the whole Cure of this deadly Wound to those All-healing Soveraign Powers While then we were supplicating and soliciting to know the Mind of Wisdom â—…erein this Word came It is suffered â—…n condescention to the instability of â—…our Faith however by Grace the corruptible Drugs shall be changed in their Constitution and Quality for else they in this case could not be available For know that my secret Medicine must be the Preparative Then after this the Doctor was free to take a Powder which gave him two or three Vomits and Purgations On Thursday Morning after which he was very cheerful and thought himself to be eased of his weight and talon which had so terrified him but after he had Dined it beset him again more fiercely and violently then at
any time before the extremity being so great as he desired to be released by Death as the greatest kindness which he could in this hour of Extremity of his Heavenly Father seek and request for At this sudden onset upon him I was somewat staggered for the Black Cloud of Death seemed all over to cover him which seemed to make void and frustrate those Words and Tokens I had received for his Restoration on the Tuesday Night before But in this juncture of time I felt a Power upon me to descend that made me Pray as in an all-Bloody-Agony and a mighty Strife betwixt Fear and Faith was in me But the strong Angel of Faith prevailed and I felt something move that was all aiery mighty and swift to overcome and conquer and which would not permit to give him up to what he himself desired Then had I a sight of all the dark afflicting Powers to be put under his Feet and that they should no longer over his mortal part have power The Relation of which I did to him declare but such was his anguish that at that time he could nothing from me hear So this Day and Night was passed away in this terrible Conflict All Night I retired from him wrestling with my God on his behalf waiting and watching what the issue of this trial would be For I do not know that I ever was in any one thing more proved because of the Word that came that he should be saved from Death Towards the Morning this Word came to me God is not a Man that he should repent or reverse what he hath spoken as to him for whom thou hast prayed Then coming to him I found him yet Ill. Then had I another Word all that Day followed me saying I am come to give him Life and that more abundantly therefore let thy mind hereupon be stayed So I saw the good Hand of our God was near and did the whole Cure and after this Bleeding he found a great alteration although before that his Extremity was much mitigated but not so sensibly taking it away as he now in himself did see So that by the Counsel of Wisdom he was hereunto directed most expresly to whose sight the Malady was only conspicuons all outward Physicians in their sight would have been too short and their power too weak and had been befooled and frustrated if any expectation had been thence For the Word for immediate Healing still followed close one upon another as matter of doubt arose Again the Word thus spake O faithless and unbelieving have I not said I will make him perfectly whole Which was the last Confirmation that I had on his behalf as to his outward Recovery Upon which I fully rested and was quieted as to him who from this time recruited his Natural Force and Strength which was abated more then he himself was sensible of But gradually he shall grow to his former strength again as a Monument of Praise to him who had renewed his Life and Being which the Princess of this World did War against with all the poysonable Influences of the lower Elements concurring and triumphing that their Mortal Robe was wrought out in him For the Dragon did see he would much more be a prosessed Enemy than ever to all his strong Holds and Territories But Wisdom's Antidore of such an high extracted Composition was made up that it expelled all his poysonable Influences she coming in with her Adjuring Power and unresistible Spell saying O Death I will be thy Death Thus the Victory was obtained through the Life-Blood â—…prouting fresh from the Fountain God-â—…ead Praise Praise Glory Glory all in us all round about us go forth with Acclamations and Thanks-giving-Offerings for such a signal Deliverance as we have been madâ—… Witnesses of which for our future Encouragement Jehovah hath wrought March the 15th 1675 6. After all this coming into my solitary composure of Spirit waiting upon my Temple-Office and Service where I met with a bright encompassing Cloud the Tabernacle-Witness rose and spake thus in me I have now answered to thee the desire of thy Heart who pressed me hard to give thee a Sign to effect somewhat through the operating force of Faith that it might work to a Deed and Wonder Behold and see this in the reviving and restoring thy Friend's dead Body which is to be great and marvellous to each Spiritual Eye For know all this restoration was managed by my Omnipotency that ye might not doubt the Root of this all sprouting Power will yet further work out and that youâ—… Prince and Saviour may yet live again that hath been so long slain Expecâ—… him he is at hand to take now foâ—… himself in you a Kingdom wherein thâ—… peaceable Reign shall be by this Solomaâ—… And the Holy Temple must be Built by Wisdom's Hand that the most Holâ—… Dove Hereupon may descend most swiftly to rouse and raise up the dead Seed which asleep is yet in Jesus therefore know as a Type of this was this late raised Man who through great Strife hath obtained his Life Now the same strong Angelical Powers that here did move in thee on his behalf must doubled be upon you both for the drawing down the Riding Power and Triumphing Birth of this more excellent Life of the Holy Ghost March the 16th 1675 6. The Dâ—…ctor being much recover'd and the Mountain and heavy Talon of Death removed he was very sweetly Spirited on the Lord's Day and carried out in Prayer speaking singing A few of us meeting together did own that day his Signal Deliverance The next day being Munday in the Forenoon waiting together I had this Word put into my Mouth immediately and unexpectedly As verily as ye have been Witnesses of my Power in plucking him out of the Pit of Death and guarding him from the violent Executioner thereof so this shall be a Sign that ye shall ascend up into the House of the Lord even the Holy Mountain of that God who hath in this hour of distress appeared and ye shall surely inherit the precious things that your Eyes shall there see Which have been long laid up in store to be given to such as can ascend with their bright Temple-Bodies which are now to be your Change of Rayment that ye may in this Holy Place both meet and know I am and will be unto you what yet cannot be conceived or believed Therefore to the charge of Wisdom expresly keep and ye shall see what the issue of being obediâ—…nt to the Law of her Mouth shall be who would not that ye should have less Purity Power and Dignity then your Jesus who is exalted and hath the Command to give and take whatever doth lie in the Father's vast Treasury Know then no less freedom ye shall have with Wisdom in her secret Stores who nothing will or can deny to conquering Spirits who through all Throngs do push and through all Armies do pass and will not be fearful or so
