my Son and though he was put to death literally a● Jerusalem yet he was perpetually slaine by the filthy abominations of Sodome and Egypt as Rebellion and disobedience against me the Lord of hosts and so saith the Lord of hosts all formes Lawes governments and wayes of worship opposing me is spiritual Sodom and Egypt that put to death my Son Christ and hath from time to time been the great whore that hath shed the blood of my Saints But as thou sawest one set it one fire and the people which thou sawest running to quench it as Kings and Lords and great men and of all sorts of men with buckets of water and hookes to pull down some of it that was on fire but they could not quench it as thou didst see untill the tenth part of it was consumed I the Lord of hosts by my appearing in my sons and daughters have set this City on fire and it hath been burned a long time by my manifesting my self to them to be their all in all and now the day of my judgement is at hand I have sentenced this City to be burnt for I the Lord of hosts doe burne up and consume all formes and governments of men by my self I being a consuming fire and I said Lord what meaneth that that the tenth part of it and not all is consumed and the Lord said by the tenth part is meant all for ten is a perfect number as ten hornes mentioned that sets forth a perfect strength or all their strength or all their power and I said Lord it hath been generally understood to be Nations as our Nation for one that shall fall off from Rome first to be the City but I the Lord of hosts say this City is formes and Lawes Governments and wayes of worship which is in all Nations and so is the spirituall Sodome and Egypt that crucified my Son and hath from time to time murdered my Saints But the time of her power is almost at an end and she must be destroyed And whereas you see all sorts of people run to quench the fire that it did not burne It shewes the unwillingnesse of all sorts of men and women to have that which hath most deceived them to be burned up because some yea most have made the observations or traditions of men to be their rule to walke by and so have walked more by forme and custorne then by any thing else But now I come I come saith the Lord of hosts and I will take from men from the powers of the world those things which they have gone a whoring after and they with all their might shall not hinder me from doing my worke And the word of the Lord came againe unto me saying Behold behold what dost thou now see and lo I beheld a Temple and it was full of smoke and there appeared one in this temple with a crown of gold upon his head and his rayment was of all colours like unto a rainbow and I beheld that he stretched forth his hands and as he stretched them forth the smoke vanished away and I beheld that after the smoke was gon there went out of his mouth flames of fire and burned up the pictures that were in the Temple and after they were consumed he cryed with a loud voice that the fourtie and two moneths and the time times and halfe times is now come to an end and then the temple and holy city which for 42 moneths was given to the Gentils to be troden under foot shall now no longer be troden under foot But I will redeem it and deliver it from the bondage and slavery that it hath bin subject unto and after this I beheld seven lighted torches brought into the temple And said I Lord whose temple is this and the Lord said it is mine and I said what doth this temple set forth and the Lord said this temple are my sons and daughters and he whom you see in it is I the Lord of hosts who am come to take possession and to make them my dwelling-place But as you see it was full of smoke this smoke is darknesse and gloominesse and cloudinesse and such a mist that untill it be consumed my people are not able to know me but I said Lord it is said that no man was able to enter into the temple for the smoke which seemes to hold forth the temple to be somewhat else then thy Saints and the Lord said that is a metaphor which seems to hold forth some thing else that is my sona and daughters are not able to come to the true knowledge of me as to see and know that I live in them without a more fuller discoverie of my self to them saith the Lord of hosts but as you see me spread forth my hands and the smoke vanished away that they come to have some knowledge of me but as you see flames of fire issued forth from me that burned up the pictures these flames are a full manifesting of my self to my sons and daughters and the pictures are all the wayes of worship formes and governments which by the wit of man are set up and as pictures resemble something else besides what they are so these formes and wayes of worships and governments and all outward administrations have seemingly appeared to be the way which I would have them observe Though indeed it hath been but a picture of me Or my way and not my right way or mine own way but a way of confusion So that when I shall fully manifest my self to my sonnes and daughters my spirit shall burn up all their pictures that is all their wayes of worship and formes of what sort soever and consume them to nothing for I the Lord of hosts am a consuming fire and will ere long appear to be so that they may see me to be forms and wayes of worships and see me all and in all and so to see that they shall have no need any longer of outward administrations But to see me to be their teacher I said Lord what is meant by the temple or holy City that hath been troden under foot 42. months by this temple or holy City is meant my sons and daughters which for the time of Antichrists reign hath bin kept in darkness or in forms or wayes of worships which men have set up and by his crying with a loud voice he was come to deliver it from bondage or from the Gentiles and so from them both it is I by my coming to Judge all the powers of proud flesh which hath been an Alien and Gentile to me and to destroy them burn and consume them up as the forms of men and worships set up by them that so I may deliver them from bondage saith the Lord of hosts for the dayes of my coming is at hand What doth these seven torches or lamps signifie And the Lord said the seven lamps burning shews a perfection of light that shall be When

and so in stead of enjoying me they shall be terrified by me which hell shall be here on earth for when my sons and daughters shall sing and rejoyce they shall howl and weep for sorrow and I said Lord it is said that thou wilt separate the sheep from the Goats and set one on the right hand and the other on the left hand that in the world to come And the Lord said I will make a seperation and such a seperation as is spoken of and that I will now set the one of my sons and daughters on my right hand which is my love and favour to them and the other to wit the wicked shall bee on my left hand that is under my wrath and I said Lord what is become of the wicked that have ceased if there be no hel nor no other life and the Lord said their bodyes are returned to earth from whence they came and so shall ever be and never be more but their spirits as soon as they go out of their bodies being not made of the four Elements as fire water earth and aire neither is it the soule which is their life for I the Lord is their life and soule and so soone as I draw my self which is the soul out of the body the body returnes to the earth and there it continues but the soul which is the life of the body which life is my own invisible being returnes to its centre as the body doth to his and there remaines which centre I the Lord of host am and so the soul which is the life cannot suffer any torment after it is out of the body but returnes to me to be at rest with me but the spirit and the soul being two distinct the spirit of a man it is that is and shall be tormented When the body shall rest and the soul be also at rest I meane the body of him that is deceased when his spirit which is his conscience that is compounded of reason wisedome and knowledge and so proceeds from man and is called the spirit of a man shall be tormented for ever and that in a body though it be not in the same body for this spirit which is compounded of reason wisdome and knowledge is that which exalts and sets it self against God and so is the utter enemy to God it being some thing which proceeds from flesh and proceeds out of man and yet it is not flesh nor man and as soon as it comes out of one man where I the God of gods doe not rule it goes into another wicked man and there acts the same things which it did in the first and so as Cain killed Abel the same spirit is in wicked men killing the Saints which spirit of man being all that shall be tormented I suffer it to embody it self in man untill it becomes a legion of Devils and there they remain in man untill I by my spirit cast them out or till I withdraw my self and so let the body goe from whence it comes and so the Devil which my Sonne Christ cast out of the man which man was tormented by it it being in him for so long as it was in him it did keep him from enjoying me and so did torment him is the spirits of wicked men transfused into one and so rules in a man and as it spake and desired Christ to let it go into the herd of swine it shewes that it was not able to a bide in that place were I would not have him tarry neither can it go into any but to those that I give it a commission to go into and as it chose to go into swine the swine sets forth wicked men so that the Devil that was cast forth went into the herd of swine went into wicked men and as the swine ran into the Sea and were drovvned so those into whom I do suffer the spirit of a wicked man to go into and remaine and not cast it out that man is tormented by that spirit and drowned in a Sea of misery But as the spirit cried out art thou come to torment me before my time it shewes that a spirit is not capable of torment out of a body but in a body which bodies shall now be that the spirits of all wicked men shall be tormented in and they shall for ever as one Devil and his Angels be burning in my wrath that is those wicked men that remaine shall be the places wherein all the spirits of wicked men and their spirits shall be tormented day and night that is in bodies wherein nothing but wickednesse dwels so that all might be tormented and destroyed but I the Lord of host and I said Lord there are some things in likenesse of hens or doggs or any any thing else that can speake and my God said that these are the spirits of wicked men whom I can make in any shape and can give them power to speake to other wicked men or their spirits in them which spirit workes in the children of disobedience in this forme and shape and so these spirits are witches so called because I suffer them in whom they remaine to have power and so to bewitch them that they come not to the knowledge of me that is those in whom this power of darknesse rules are so overpowred with darknesse that they become fit subjects or bodies for me to execute my wrath upon them which bodies being sensible of me the Lord and of the glory and happinesse of my sons and daughters shal gnaw their tongues for paine even in this world so that the resurrection in Scripture mentioned is not a resurrection of the body out of the earth but a resurrection of the the body from darkness to light and from the wrath of me to the love and favour of me For saith Christ I am the resurrection and the life so that the resurrection and life is Christ that is so to be raised from the body of death and sin as to be anointed with the spirit of God and so to become new being dead before and now to be alive and ever to be with God Free from apprehending God to be angry with us but always feeling his divine power ruling in us and causing of us to see and look upon him as one that is well pleased with us FINIS
