in me and so willingly to receive me now I proffer my self to them to be their king and they shal think him now happie that shal come in the name of the Lord and shal crie Hosanna in the highest that is they shal willingly receive instructions from I the Lord of host whom they wait for and whom they do expect daily for to hear of some tha shal say the Lord of host cometh for to redeem them out of all their enemies countries and to bring them into their own Land again which tidings of their returne they shal have from England first and how the God of Iacob wil appear to be their God and so they shal see and know that their redeemer cometh and made himself known to some English men for to bring them word even the Iews that are dispersed about in Holland and Spaine Germany and Italy and how it is the pleasure of I the Lord of host for to put my spirit of courage and valiantness for to make you that are dispersed in these countries as Holland France Spaine Germany Italy gather your selves together and so to meet all of you and these whom I shal send out of England to you for to meet in the year fifty one now a coming on in Italy and I wil be your rock and your strength and wil in cheife be your leader so that you shal not fear what man shal do unto you for I have purposed and it shal surely come to pass that I wil bring you to Ierusalem and not only you but all the rest that are dispersed of you in other countries even for to make you the praise of the whole earth and I wil stir up armies that shal fight for you so that I wil bring you safely into your own countreys and wil make the Gentiles come with their gold and silver to you and you shal be honourable and all your enemies that wil not serve you shal perish for that nation and kingdom that wil not serve thee shal perish yea those nations shal be utterly wasted even the most proudest and stoutest king or governour shal be destroyed even al their armies shal come to nothing for it is my pleasure to bring down the high and mighty one and so to lay him low even wil I not favour any but wil bring them all down to the ground yea I wil bring down that potent enemie that doth so highly exalt himself and he shal come to nothing even the Pose of Rome I mean and before the fifty five years that is now present a coming he shal be destroyed even the Pope of Rome shal lose his life in 1654. and so I the Lord wil make known my power by cutting off great ones and by bringing them to nothing and so wil make them all come bending and bowing to my sons and daughters whom I wil bring to Ierusalem and because it is my pleasure that it should be so I even I the Lord of host wil appear for to confound my enemies and those that have bin enemies to my people the Jews even that proud Turk that rules and domineers now shal be before the year fifty seven consumed destroyed the great head turk shal lose his life in the year 1656 and so there shal never after him nor never any more Pope be but there shal be such alterations and changes that things present and have bin by custome of long standing turned upsides once again that I may make Ierusalem the praise of the whole earth whose gates shal be continually open and shal not be shut day or night that men may bring unto them even unto the new Ierusalem the forces of the Gentiles even such abundance there shal be that shal be brought in for to be your fellows and brethren one and of the same Citty that the places which I formerly gave unto your Fathers for their inheritances shal be enlarged and strangers shal build your Citty even the wals of your Cities even such shal build them up for you that shal not inhabite there and Kings shal minister unto you and shal bring their riches unto you though you shal have no need of any yet it is my pleasure so much to magnifie you that I wil make my self appear to be glorious in you even in the midst of you and wil make people say of a truth that God is in you and so to acknowledge that you are the seed which the Lord hath blessed and so to make them see and know that I the Lord of host am in you even in you all ruling in you and making all your enemies become subject to you But I must tel you that I wil not appear personally for to raign over you and so to give you laws to walk by no but I wil raign in you and I the God of truth wil be in you and I wil teach you how you shal walk by putting my laws in your inward parts and in writing of them in your hearts and so wil speake in you and wil also make you for to worship me in spirit and in truth not in outward formes as now you do for the glory of Lebanon shal come unto thee and the Box tree and the Fir tree shal come together to beautifie the place of my Sanctuary and so to make my feet glorious such is the worke of I the Lord of host that I wil make the very glory of the world be brought to Sion even for to make them glorious and I wil make the place of thy feet glorious ö Sion and all the sons of them the feet that afflicted thee shal come bowing and bending to the soles of thy feet and shal cal thee the Sion the Citty of the Lord the holy one of Israel such a great work wil I do for thee ö Sion that I wil make thee have power over al thy enemies and none shal be able for to oppose thee but all shal be brought to nothing and confounded yea even they shal be in such terror and fear now that they shal submit themselves to thee and cal thee even thee O Sion whom I wil gather to Jerusalem the Citty of the Lord even of I the Lord of host And whereas thou hast bin forsaken so that no man went through thee even thee O Ierusalem that hath been laid wast I wil now of a sudden make thee an eternal excellency a joy of many generations even I wil make thee to be so glorious that thou shalt be the glory and joy of Nations for thou shalt be freed from sorrow and trouble and vexation of spirit and shal live in peace and be at peace rejoicing in I the Lord of host when others shal be troubled and vexed to think that they do not partake of the same glory wherewith I have and wil glorifie thee and thou shalt also suck the milke of the Gentiles even that joy and comfort which formerly they had of me when I did
at the transfiguration of my son that made his disciples say it was good for them to be there even so shal my appearing in you and glathreing of you together shining in you and among you in so glorious a manner rocking you a sleep in my glory shal make you say it is good for us to be here even in this place where it is thy pleasure we shal be for here shal we be in the same condition as the two dissciples were in for at the transfiguring of thy self made them to say it was good for to be here by reason of the more transcendent glory they saw far more then they did before notwithstanding they had a long time bin in Jesus his companie so that notwithstanding those glorious discoveries which you have had of me and those glorious breakings forth of light which hath bin among you wil appear to be nothing in comparison of that light and glory you shal have when you are taken apart from the people as the two Apostles were had in the mount even then shalt thou see a more glorious discovery of me when thou art taken wholy out of Babylon and wholy from all thy enemies and brought up into the mount even into Jerusalem the place which I wil adorne with all manner of precious things as jewels of gold and pearles and precious stones of all sorts and I wil change these glimpes of light and glory which thou now hast and these little sparkes of light into a full and perfect view wherein thou maist see clearly my light and glory and so these sparkes become coales of fire that shall appear in a more fuller manner to thee then ever they did before which wil be in such an extraordinary manner that al things else shal become nothing in comparison of this glory which I wil now make you to see And whereas Jesus was transfigured before his two disciples and they saw him in glory and he was not alone in this condition but they did see Moses and Elias talking with him this is a mistery which shewes that I the Lord of host appearing in my bright and glorious dispensations which wil now be I shal appear alone but as Moses and Elias was with Christ when he was transfigured even so shal Moses and Elias now be with me in my bright appearing to you and not only Moses and Elias but all that have bin my faithful servants even the whole house of Israel shal appear in glory and you shal see and know them that they are Moses and Elias and the rest of my Saints whom I have now raised up to come and be with you and have given them a body as I have seen good and Enoch of old prophesied the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints so now wil I come not only with ten thousand but with all my Saints to gard and keep me company and so wil make my name a glorious name and a memorial for ever and I thus appearing in glory and majesty wil make all my enemies to tremble and to quake when they shal hear that I the Lord doth raign in mount Sion and that I have brought Moses and Elias and all the rest of the prophets thither there for to make thee rejoyce in me the Lord of host clothing them with my self and making them for to appear in glory giving them a revvard that they shal come and be in my love and favour and that they shal now rule over all their enemies and all their enemies shal be but their footstool and they shal now tread and trample that wicked spirit which hath often persecuted them to nothing and so now shal appear to be Kings and conquerours through me that love them here is but a glimps of that glory which you shal enjoy when you come to Sion when you see me and all my Saints with me rejoycing in me and I in them but how ever know this that Sion shall be made the praise of the whole earth and all glory shal be there even all manner of precious things and all the nations shal ly down in their dust and be brought to shame and confusion and the Lord alone shal be exalted and wil magnifie himself and wil get him glory and honour over all his enmies and so wil bring to nothing all those that have opposed him and wil make Sion a scourge and a torment that shal torment all nations when they hear of the love and favour that I wil do to them and when they hear of that glory and beauty that I wil make to shine amongst them and when they hear of that priviledge that I wil give you O you Sion that you shal alwaies rejoyce and sing and shal dwel in peace and he of one heart and of one minde glorying in me and rejoycing in me and blessing your selves in my name and shal see nothing but joy for former things be passed away and all things now become new nothing but righteousnesse dwelling among you and the glory of me the Lord of host overshadowing you and keeping of you from sorrow and weeping having redeemed you out of the hands of them that were stronger then you and have made you now stronger then all your enemies and all shall lick the dust of the soles of thy feet and cal thee the Sion of the Lord the holy one of Israel and whereas thou hast been forsaken that no man went through thee I wil make thee the glory and excellency of many Generations even the joy and delight of the whole world a place wherein there shal be nothing but singing and rejoycing in God even in me the Lord of host who am the All of all things And the Lord said within me behold I looked there appeared three Suns and they were one above another the lowest was not so glorious as the midlemost neither was the midlemost so glorious as the highest for the highest of them did outstrip the other in glory and did shine so gloriously that it did darken and put out the light of both the rest for I did see that the midlemost had put out the light of the first even so that it did scarse shine but the highest did so gloriously shine in such a bright manner that the lesser lights were but darkness to that And I said Lord what meaneth these Suns and one to be so bright over the other and so to darken the rest and my God said that these three Suns hold forth three dispensations one of them more glorious then the rest and as they do appear unto you in glory so did they shine for the time of their being and the first Sun doth hold forth the first dispensation even that which was given by me the Lord of host to Moses even that law that was written in Tables of stone and the children of Israel had amongst them therefore as I did appear to my servant Moses in such away as to give him
thee they shal even the Gentiles make enquire after you because you are my chosen people and you are they to whom I wil make out my self in glory to therefore shal they come even those that shal believe that I wil make you the praise of the earth they come even the Gentiles come to thee because I have withdrawn my self from them and wil not be in their worships neither wil I cause them for to receive any joy or comfort in any place or kingdome for to finde rest for their spirits but at this place where I have appointed to bring thee O Sion out of the hands of all thy enemies and from the power of all they that hate thee for thy sons shal come from far and thy daughters shal be nursed at thy sides even thy sons and daughters O Sion shal come from East West North South even from all places to be partakers of that infinite joy pleasure and glory which you shal injoy sons they shal be because they come after you to that ful and perfect enjoyment of I the Lord of host and nursed at thy sides because they shal receive of that fulness which you did receive of before therefore they shal come even as a child doth when he is hungry doth receive food with gladness even so shal al these that come up to thee even thy sons and daughters to be nursed at thy sides come to thee as to their mother for Ierusalem abore is the mother of us all even come to thee ö Jerusalem for comfort hearing that I the Lord of host is pleased for to make out my self to thee in a more especial manner then formerly I have done and so to receive comfort from thee even to suck and be satisfied with the fulness of that consolation you do receive from the Father even to suck and receive comfort from the same fountain of life even from I the Lord of host this shal be the state and condition of you you shal have your fil and be ful when others shal be in want and not be satisfied and they that come up to you shal drinke abundance of my fulness when they that tarry behind shal be deprived of my love light and glory so that they shal find no rest for their spirits for I wil make you to be like Noahs ark that was a place of refuge for Noah and those that were in it when others were destroyed in my wrath even so I have appointed peace and rest to be with you and nothing but trouble of conscience to the rest and to those that tarry behind and come not up to you but some there shal be that shal be like Noahs Raven that he sent forth which wandred up and down and could find no rest for her feet until it came into Noahs ark again even so shal some be troubled and shal have no rest until they come up to Jerusalem the place of my love and favour and the place where I have delighted to dwel and wil dwel forever and whosoever comes up to that place even to Jerusalem the City wherein I have appointed them to dwel shal find rest and be in peace freed from sorrow and trouble even as the Raven found peace in Noahs ark and rested there Then thou shalt see and flow together and thine heart shal fear and be inlarged because the abundance of the Sea shal be converted the forces of the Gentiles shal come unto thee their multitudes of Camels shal cover thee the dromidaries of Midian and Epha all they from Sheba shal come they shal bring gold and incense and shal shew forth the praises of the Lord all the flocks of Kedar shal be gathered together unto thee the Rams of Nebaioth shal minister unto thee they shal come up with acceptance on my altar and I wil glorifie the house of my glory Now shal ye gather your selves together and rejoyce and be glad because of those that are converted for to come up to thee O Sion who hath bin made a laughing stock in all Nations but now shal be made the praise of all Nations and that all shal come up to thee that wil have any rest or be satisfied with my fulness even those that have bin your great enemies shal now be glad to come to thee O Sion which shal be gathered to Ierusalem with their gold and incense to praise and magnifie thee and even I the Lord of host in thee who have chosen thee to be the glory of all Nations look and see who are those that fly as a cloud and as Doves to the windows even these be my sons and daughters who are Gentiles and want rest and seek for rest but can find none therefore hearing of my glory wherewith I make out my self to thee O Sion in whom I am in the midst of thee they fly as clouds they hasten from their Countries even to come to thee that so they may have rest and peace with thee O Sion in whom I the holy one of Israel is in the midst of and wil be king for ever Surely the Isles shal wait for me and the ships of Tarshish for to bring thy sons from far their silver and their gold with them unto the name of the Lord thy God and to the holy one of Israel because he hath glorified thee even these Ilands as England for one that shal be the first that strive to go to my people who have a long time bin cast off but now through my mighty power will graft them into the true vine again and they shal become glorious and shal say blessed be they that come in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest though formerly through unbeliefe and hardness of heart they crucified my son Iesus and so would not have him to be their King because he did not come in pomp and glory but came of a Carpenters wife and descended from so low a linage shal we say they believe this man is the son of God seeing that he is so poor and so mean and seeing he came for to destroy our Laws and formes of worships and governments and the old customes of offering up sacrifice which was that law and Testament that God gave unto Moses for us to observe and keep for ever therefore before they would part from their formes of worships and so would have a new one they would crucifie my son Iesus and would not then have him to be their King for which cause I did cast them off and so did cause them to be dispersed in all Nations But now I have in my mercy and pitty towards them remembred the covenant which I made to their father Abraham that in him all nations shal be blessed and so wil now restore them by my power from their enemies in what country or nation they be dispersed and wil make them to be gathered together into their own Countrey and now I wil give them hearts to believe
aforesaid thus as the tree was digged up by the roots even so as this tree represents all powers so will I root up all powers even I the Lord of host the root and foundation of all powers for the present are set up by the power and strength of men in all Nations It being the good pleasure of I the Lord of host that it should be so and so by the strength and might of men the mankind that are made all of one mold and clay destroy one another which arises from a fleshly domineering and Esau's power that would raign over their fellow creatures which power assoon as one is subdued another takes place and will do so still but the time comes and the set time of I the All of all things is to be at an end and when the fulness of these dayes shall be expired and accomplished then one power shall not destroy another to set himself in power to rule over his fellow creatures no but that power shall destroy all powers besides my selfe as honour and riches shall be destroyed and so the root destroyed that I the Lord of host may be all and in all And the word of the Lord came again saying behold and lo I saw men and women runnnig together and every one said save my god save my god as if men and women had each of them a god which god must now be destroyed and I looked to see what their gods were that there was such running up and down to save them and loe I saw one company and their gods were gold and silver but this god was destroyed and another company made houses and another made their lands but these gods I saw destroyed another made their pride and honour but these gods were destroyed also and so one after another they were all destroyed even all those things which men and women have run a whoring after must be destroyed and brought to nothing and I said Lord what meaneth the people to call these their gods and my excellent majestie at whose bright appearing all things besides himself must be destroyed who will now suddenly appear to make men weep and houl for the miseries that are now a coming upon them said on this manner as followeth they call these their gods because they have set their hearts more upon these things then upon me and have with all eagernesse run after these things but I at my appearing destroys them all and so will take from earthly creatures those things wherein they have put most trust and confidence in and will destroy them in their sight even their gods of silver and gold and will make them throw away their pictures And again the word of the Lord said behold and loe I saw a company of men with their hands upon their loynes weeping and wayling crying out for help and I said Lord what meaneth these to be so feeble and to stand as they do crying for help and my eternal God said these men represent all my enemies and all my Saints enemies as they stand with their hands on their loines crying for help it showes that I the Lord of host have stricken them with fear and terror even I have taken their strength from them and they shall become as weak as water even so weak that one shall slay a 100. and a 100. slay 10000. for all their strength was taken from them so that I am confident 1. wil make nothing to slay 1000 if it doth please God to bring his enemies in such a condition which prophesie I look to see fulfilled in the year of redemtion of the creation from bondage which wil be a year of Jubilee and this Jubilee is at hand for I the Lord of host comes and wil not tarry but will arise like a man of war tearing and devouring in sunder al my enemies and wil consum them by the breath of my nostrils they shal not be able to stand for I will tread trample on them in the fierceness of my wrath wil make them come bowing down to the soals of the feet of my saints wil give the strength glory honor to my Saints and they shal rejoice and sing for ever ever And the word of the Lord came again saying behold what dost thou now see and lo I beheld a woman gloriously arrayed with a Scepter in her hand and she had a maid to wait upon her and I said Lord what meaneth this and my God the most high Jehovah answered me and said this woman represents the sons and daughters of Sion and as you saw her with a Scepter in her hand it denotes unto you that she hath power and strength over all her enemies and so is a conqueror over them all and so hath them in subjection be her enemies great or small more or less so then the time is now a comming that Sion shal rejoyce and be glad and shall sing for joy of heart when her enemies shall stand a far off and weep for bitternesse of spirit and as you saw her gloriously arrayed it shewes that the sons and daughters of Sion shall have of the best they shall eat and drink of the best and wear of the best not that they shall have the others which are those whom God in love doth not make out himself unto in bondage slavery and so deprive them of the outward creatures no but they shal have the use of the creation as to have their fil with food and al necessaries belonging to the body so they shal in this sense be their servants as is shewed by the maid waiting on the woman And presently after I saw one in glory with an army following him and he cut down his enemies a pace and left none to oppose him and of a sudden I saw all his enemies destroyed for this form of glory is the mighty God that is now risen to take vengeance on his enemies and to make them his foot-stool and his armies are his ministring spirits by which he will confound all the glory honour and strength of men yea even bring to nothing all the glory and powers of all fleshly powers how high soever they be lifted up for alas poor flesh what art thou now in my hands I am now risen to judge thee to burn thee up and so to bring thy flesh to nothing yea I will not leave thee root or branch for there shall not be son or nephew but I even I the mighty Jehovah will make a short worke for I will work and who art thou that shall hinder me from doing my purpose Therefore rejoyce and sing for joy of heart for behold I come even I thy king ô Sion shout shout and spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and say my God raignes even thy holy King of Sion therefore sing aloud and let the high praises of God be in thy mouth and a sharp two-edged sword in thy hand and so execute
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
