But let me tell you there will not be a mountain nor a hill left in all the world to hide thee from the presence of the Lord for that is the reason why the Lord comes first with clouds and darkness to remove every mountain and hill and every hiding place that you shall have no where to go for shelter for the Lord will make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the Nations Isa 52. 10.

mouth thou shalt be judged either for salvation or damnation and therefore Christ saith The words that I have spoken and you have rejected shall judge you at the last day John 12. 48. You are got into the last dayes yea unto the last dayes of the last dayes that is into the half time Daniel spake of and that half time is almost out too Oh world and therefore a spirituall judgment is near to be revealed to us all And the words that Christ hath spoken shall judge us all that is God will open the eye of the understanding of all by his spirituall light by the which light you shall know and see what you did reject and what you have done in rejecting and also what Christ said and how you all have answered him again and also how you have lived and you shall need no other Judge then the light of God which shall shine upon your understanding and consciences for that shall give you light into all your wayes in the which ye have walked and this your enlightned understanding and convinced consciences shall condemne you all that is all flesh There is a mysterie John 8. 9. And they that heard it being convinced in their consciences went out one by one their consciences bearing witness again Romans 2. 15. Their consciences also bearing witness and their thoughts the meane while either accusing or excusing and a convinced conscience either of good or bad lyeth in the understanding being enlightned your understanding and consciences oh Saints and worldlings is all the book that God needs to use in the day of his spirituall judging of you and behold he is coming to Judgment and every eye shall see by this light of God every one shall be saved that have part in the first resurrection and by the same light every one shall be destroyed that have not part in him so that this light of God will bring salvation and destruction both at one time unto the two hoasts that stand at the right and left hand of God Isa 33. 4 5. The sinners in Sion are afraid fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites and who among us shall dwell with devouring fire reade one of the next verses and it tels you who shall and who shall not the Lord is come and coming still for to destroy and yet to save and that 's the reason why all flesh doth so fear Ezek. 39. 21.

Hear oh world your fall is begun for your Prince that is your leader is wounded by the light of God and so wounded that he bleeds all the way he goes and so he will untill he hath bled himself to death for the wound that is given him is an uncurable wound for it is given him by a mighty Prince called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Sions King and your terrible Judge and from this arises all your fear and you know it not Oh who shall stand before this great Judge when he cometh out of Clouds into light to judge with light and glory why this the Lord is coming near withall and the day of the Lords light will be the day of the Lords dividing Joel 3. 14. Or the day of the Lords great separating not only a dividing or separating the powers of evill men far from you oh Saints or you from them but a dividing or separating two ancient warriers flesh and Spirit so that you shall never learn war more Why oh soul thou shalt never learn war more for the Lord who is thy King will conquer all thy inside enemies as well as thy outside enemies and there shall be a great valley between ye both and that is the reason why he comes with his glorious light for to destroy all and then for to make known all to you Israel thou hast been a long time under a vaile the which vaile so covered thy fathers glory that ye could not see nor yet discern him but now ye shall very suddenly for it is neer taking away Isaiah 25. 7.

Pray reade there O Israel and that will tell thee what condition thou wilt be in ere long for the height and breadth depth and length of the love of Christ shall be known to you and ye shall be filled with the fulness of God How dost thou like this O World I must tell thee one thing more and when that one thing comes to be fulfilled it will be as an Arrow in thy heart and so a hearty plague upon thee for thou shalt know and see all this by the light of God but shalt receive no more of it to thy comfort then that Lord did which stood in the gate of Samaria after that long destructive siege was raised and that bread was to be had who was trodden down in the gate and died he saw indeed but never tasted of it read 2 Kings 7. 2 19 ●0 Thou shalt see it with thy eyes but shalt not eat thereof So O World thou mayest stand without the gate or at the gate and look in and see the glorified ones of God but never enter in for to joy with them for thou art the dog and without are dogs Rev. 22. 15. within is perfect joy without perfect wailing and the Word telleth you That the Reason of the Worlds wailing will be by reason of the appearing of Jesus Christ in his brightness The cloudy appearing of Jesus Christ is a dark appearing and a dark appearing is an unseen and an unknown appearing to all men as men and what the eye seeth not the heart grieveth not for that 's a common phrase among you but you shall have eyes given you for to see the Lord withal and then the sight of him will cause wailing in you The Lords wrath is begun with clouds but shall end with light the Spiritual light of God and then thy plagues will be perfected The Lord hath waited upon you long O Kings Princes Rulers Magistrates and all ye powers of the earth after what name or title soever mentioned with all ye Ministers and people I say my King hath waited upon you very long and suffered you to fill up your wickedness and to make measure up to the brim and when thou hast done Sions King will begin with a saying Put in the sickle for the harvest is ripe get ye down for the fat is overflown their wickedness is great and come to perfection and wickedness perfected will be recompenced with plagues perfected The Lord hath begun to pour out his vials of plagues upon thee O World and he will never leave pouring out until he hath perfected them all for there is a perfection of plagues as well as a perfection of beauty there is a full knowing all miseries as well as a full knowing all mysteries and the time is hastening on apace by the Lord in the which both shall be known Therefore all ye powers of the earth make hast and do that ye do quickly for when you have poured forth all that you have to pour and fulfilled all that you have to fulfil upon Christ and his Members that you have no more to fulfil then the Lord will begin to pour out all that he hath to pour and to fulfil all that he hath to fulfil upon you that is All the plagues written in this Book Revel 22. 18. And when the Lord hath done all that he hath to do and fulfilled or poured forth upon you all that he hath to pour then ye shall be left in your misery for ever and then the word Even so Amen shall be finished upon you The word Even so Amen hath a joyful sound and a terrible sound Hear O Israel and ye Nations of the Earth hear ye Nations and all ye powers of the World Ye are fit for nothing but to be destroyed by the light of God your very actions speak out your destruction is neer at hand for death is written upon all your footsteps and the word Even so Amen will prove your dreadful doom For when the Lord hath poured upon you all plagues and hath separated all his sheep far from you and you from them and withdrawn himself after that he hath enlightened you with an eternal light for to be your eternal plague and to perfect your plagues you shall have darkness and light mixed together eternal light and eternal darkness and darkness shall cover thee for ever even thick darkness that Jude spake of To whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever and when all this is done the Even so Amen is finished And now hear one word more oh Israel behold the Lord my King is coming and yet come too And at his presence the world shakes and mountains tremble and the end of his coming is for to finish upon thee all that he hath for to finish and to give thee of the fatness of his house to cloath thee with the perfect heavenly glory and to give thee that that shall never be taken from thee nor never be shaken but remain with thee for ever thy heavenly King is coming and in his hand there is for thee spirituall and heavenly blessings I and he is coming with both hands full and they hold all the inside treasure in heaven and earth and when all that that is for thee whether it be wisdom or knowledg glory or blessings is given unto thee and cloathed up thee according to the full and perfect gift of God then the word Even so Amen will be finished The word Even so Amen ends all it puts an end to all thy sufferings and sorrows and it puts an end to all thy faith and heavenly hope because thy heavenly King hath brought unto thee the unseen substance and thou hast received that that thou so long hopedst for and if we hope for that we see not then we do with patience wait for it And Faith it is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen but thou shalt have a thousand times more then ever thou couldst believe or hope for and when that not seen and not believed and not hoped for substance and treasure which the Lord hath laid up for thee is given to thee then the word Even so Amen will be finished upon thee I shall therefore close up all with a saying Eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive the things that God hath prepared for them that love him FINIS

John is a spirituall eye or ye may call it the eye of the Lord gone forth from the Lord to the works of his hands to behold their great Workman the Lord of hosts for nothing can behold the Lord but that which comes from the Lord I am apt to think that the eye which the Lord will open to all flesh in the day of his glorious light appearing will be the eye of the Understanding and my reason is this because that Paul saith that by that eye when once opened they shall know what is the hope of their calling what is the riches of his glory of his inheritance in his Saints Ephes 1. 18. Isa 41. 20. That we may see know and understand together and then shall they see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Sion and then shall we behold him as he is Hear Israel and ye gentile world too for ye are both brought in hear Israel the first sight that thou shalt have of thy King will be a sad sight for thy wounded Saviour will be represented unto thee which thou hast wounded pierced and grieved all thy days but the time now of thy grieving him is almost up and he is coming out of cloudy dispensations for to cause thee by his light to see what thou art and what thou hast done and what a condition thou art in and when he hath carried thee hither and thither up and down here and there and shewed thee all thy abominations and all thy idols and imaginary religious Exercises as he did to Ezekiel in Jerusalem and in the Temple there Ezek. 8. 5 6 9 10 11. and so to the end of the Chapter that is a Gospel type we may read there what our condition is for thou art the Temple of God and this Temple of the Lord is defiled with all maner of unclean things O thou Temple of the Lord there is great abomination in thee spiritual abomination mysterious abominations and there dwells in thee thou canst not tell what for every thing that bears not the image of the Lord is sin upon thee and thou art defiled with all maner of unclean things with an unclean heart an unclean minde an unclean conversation O how death is written upon all thy labors and ways rathen then life Behold therefore the Lord is come down for to open an eye to thee wherewith thou shalt see all that thou hast done to be wicked fleshly and nought The first sight will be a sorrowful sight but after sorrow comes joy Israel the Lord will first open thy eye because judgment shall begin first with thee yea this spiritual judgment The Lord will first search thee with candles and after thee then thy enemies thou shalt see first because thou shalt rise first nay dost not thou begin to see for methinks the clouds begin to break if not what 's the reason of so much strange noyses among the Sion of God was there ever heard or seen the like that is in this our age what distress what blasphemies what cursings These days are the last days these days are the blaspheming days I tremble to think how all the world is and will be filled with blasphemy Revel 13. 5. 7. 3. 16. 9 11 21. Here is trouble indeed to the purpose war was but the beginning and this shall be the end and when ended never trouble more shall come neer thee O Israel for thou shalt see thy King ere long with great joy and with such a beholding of him as thou never yet didst behold him withall and by this thy beholding of him thou shalt goe forth and speak great things of his name to the consuming of all the world Ps 40. 3. And he shall put a new song into thy mouth even praise unto our God men shall see it and fear God will come and consume all within thee because thou shalt consume all without thee and make all fall before thee by the light and glory that God will cloath upon thee and all shall come unto thee in chaines and shall bow and make supplication unto thee and Ps 149. 8. To binde their Kings in Chaines 2 Thes 2 8. Whom he will consume with the Spirit of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming all things below himself which destruction every one shall see and be convinced it is the Lord. Saints and worldlings your eyes shall be opened all ere long for to behold your selves first then the Lord after Israel the eye which the Lord will give unto thee shall as well behold all the glory of the fathers house as it did cause thee to behold all thy evill for this eye will carry thee into the secret chamber of God there to behold all the inside glory of thy father and thou shalt not only see it but be convinced all that is thine and laid up for thee of old yea and thine for to wear upon thy shoulders in the day when the Lord comes for to give reward unto his Saints and them that fear his name which day is hasting on amain and it will not be long ere thou seest thy King by the perfect light of God called the light of an eye And for thee oh world thou shalt have an eye opened unto thee by the Lord for to cause thee for to see him withall and so to convince thee of all thy evill wayes and of all thy evill deeds and hard speeches which thou hast moved withall towards his Israel You may all read your doome in Jude and hear there what the Lord saith He saith that the next appearing after the cloudy called the day of light or the day of Christ which day will be a day of conviction a day of enlightning throughout the world of good and bad a convincing day to all men of their wayes Jude 15. ver Therefore rejoyce oh Sion and fear oh world for the Lord is come near to Judgment and it will be a spirituall one attended with the spirituall light of God Isaiah 4. 4. When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughter of Sion and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem by the Spirit of Judgment and the spirit of burning This light of the Lord will be a reproving light a light which shall cause men to see and be ashamed and see and yet not be ashamed because he will bring a further wrath upon them it will be a reproving light John 16. 8. When he comes he will reprove the world of sin of righteousness and of judgment Oh the mighty great and unparallell fear that will fall upon all the world by reason of the light of God which shall break forth upon them for to behold the Lord withall and as they shall behold him so themselves too and reade their own charge and be their own Judges Math. 12. 33. For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned That is by thy own
