is the Testimony of Jesus the Lord which is the gift of Prophesy which is of very great use and service to the Church here on Earth to have a foresight and knowledge of what things are yet to come that all may be warned who are the Friends of the Bridegroom to make ready for his Kingdom and Appearance which now in very deed is knocking at our Doors Blessed are them that understand the voice of Prophecy and have it in themselves The second Gift is to have the Gift of Revelation opened as a spring that flows with Heavenly Doctrine for a true Teaching-Ministry to go forth with to give feeding from a fresh Pasture which hath not ●●●n defiled by unwashed Feet the Holy Spirit do now in some foretell such Principal Shepherds are now to stand in this Latter Day upon the Earth that shall not speak from Litteral Tradition but from the Revelation of the Holy-Anointing the pure and most excellent words of Wisdom which will not be in the weakness of the L●●ter but in the strength and power of the Spirit so made known The third is the Gift of Vision which is not by sight of the mortal Eye for that is too gross to see Spiritual Objects Now to describe the most pure and right kind of Vision is to have Eyes within fixed in the head of a bright and clear Understanding through this Organ of sight from pure and divine Light God in Christ may be seen and Christ as in the Glory of the Father and the Eternal Spirit streaming forth from both Father and Son Sometime thus seen all in One and at other times Distinct and yet never divided Thus is the Holy Trinity seen through the Pure Christalline Globe of the Eternal Wisdom Oh ten thousand degrees of Happiness to such as are thus Divine and Spiritual seeing so as to be taken up in viewing and speculating the Celestial and Light-World as filled and furnished with such variety of all amiable Objects as Seraphims Cherubims and several Degrees of these about God's Throne with the numerous Company of Angelical Spirits which once did live in Mortal Forms are There to be seen all cloathed with Bodies of Spangling-Light What the eye of the Spirit and Mind doth Here see may well draw and effect the Heart abundantly Now to proceed to the fourth Gift which is the Key that openeth the Kingdom of the Power which being endowed with do coe-work with the Powers in Heavenly Places for binding and loosning shutting up and opening which Power will be granted for to act and do mighty and marvellous Wonders according to what by the Saints in former Ages have been carried forth in this World to do And sure such is the present Time and Age which we now live in that do call for Greater and more marvellous Works than yet have been done Seeing that the Confusions and distresses throughout all Nations look so dreadful upon us that all Need there is of an Eliah's Spirit to arise up amongst us that may turn the Hearts of Fathers to Children and pour out Oil for Reconcilement and healing the bleeding Wounds of Wars and Divisions kindled up into a Flame through all Nations which only the strong impowered Angels that are filled with Spirit of Anointing shall in this Latter Day rise for the quieting these North-Winds that from these Tempestuous Seas of this World do so furiously blow for it is seen that Deliverances to this Nation will not by Carnal Weapons of Slaughter be effected but by the lifting up of the Standard of God's Spirit of Power only Now for the coming forth of which Power we are looking and hastning for in order to the making way for that Kingdom of Peace and Love that must over the whole Earth spread Even so Come Lord Jesus to reign on the Earth in thy Saints powerfully The fifth Gift is the laying on of Hands by such as are Baptised with the Holy-Ghost which being filled with may convey and let into such prepared Souls which have waited for it they may Hereof partake and be inspired from such a virtual fiery Touch and therefrom be so highly Illuminated and Deified as to be made New Creatures in very deed From this Ruby Tincturing Dye a God-like Purity and Power may suddenly arise to Anatomize and burn up the gross corrupt and earthly part For we do experimentally find that all Spiritual Medicines are too short and weak for the rooting out the Venom of Sin till the Holy-Ghost do enter in to refine and purify the Vessel within which may upon some come in more immediately by God's own Hand and then again by a Medium as the Holy-Ghost shall take up any to convey himself by their laying on of Hands which is not to be understood barely of the outward hands but as the inward Power and rich Virtue in the Spirit of Faith and Prayer shall be breathed forth for so it was when by the Apostles in their Day the Holy Ghost was given forth Oh how Great how Worthy is this Gift being the Root and Spring from whence all miraculous Works both inward and outward do proceed Now from this Holy Anointing the Healing-Gift may also spring for the curing of all bodily Infirmities for as much as the Mortal Form and Figure which we bear is the Temple of the Holy-Ghost and it being of a corruptible Matter of Flesh and Blood subject to putrefaction and thereupon painful Diseases do breed yet this often helped hath been and Cures have been performed upon the impotent Body by the Omnipotency of the Holy-Ghost moving through Mortal Creatures as we have numerous instances both in the Old and New-Testament and also since Christ and the Apostles by Saints of a lesser Degree who have been useful to those upon Sick and Dying Beds who have been raised up most miraculously And this Power will still attend to the Worlds end such holy Souls as can retain their Vessels this All-healing-Balsam having Love-Pity to their Fellow-members may much release and help in greatest Extreamity But this Power is not at all times commandable by any Creaturely VVill The Apostles themselves could not act it forth upon the Sick but as the Holy-Ghost moved upon them neither can any that received this Gift but as the Holy-Ghost stirreth this Healing-Pool within them which watching to Healing-waters may flow forth to effect all Cures bodily which is a great Immunity belonging to VVisdom's Children that are observant to all her Rules and Commands most willingly Thus having given an Account of what the Spirit of Christ hath given in as to what is expected and required for the accomplishing such as are to make up for an Espousal Bride to him Therefore it is absolutely needful that we should be furnished out with such Powers and Gifts as may qualify for such an High Marriage-Union with the First Begotten-Son and Heir of the High God who doth most willingly give out and bequeath these five golden Talents here mentioned

that makes the Soul fly so High that nothing of the crawling Earth worms can reach to molest or hurt it The sixth Divine Power that attends the Traveller is the Live-Coal of Flaming-Love that so vehemently Longeth to arrive to the visional Fruition of GOD and CHRIST with all the glorified Train of Blessed and Perfect Spirits This Love-Gale is so Mighty strong that it makes the Soul pull up and run swiftly in this Race Seventhly That which doth most compleat this Holy Guard is Impregnable Strength and Power for if GOD did not take care to Fortify the travelling Soul with His own Invincible strength there were no possibility to reach this Mark of the New-Jerusalem-State but Christ the Lord takes good care and will not omit to provide Munition-strength for accomplishing this Heavenly Journey for Christ the Lord longeth more to see the Soul-traveller safely landed in his own Bosom of Love than the Souls desire is to appear before him So by this mutual Love-Agreement the Everlasting Knot of Marriage-Union will be tyed when there once it is arrived Now then by this time you see what the Company is that will support the Soul in its Travels but the Chief of all is Christ in Spirit that walks in This Holy qualified Soul as in the midst of the Seven Golden Candlesticks The second Proposition is what Stages or Rests that may be allowed the weary Traveller to take up in a while which are Three This second Days Journey is more easy and refreshing the Walks gives a sweet Smell from the Evangelical Promises giving assurance by the Atoning Blood of the Covenant that all Guilt of Sin is obliterated whereby the Soul is Incouraged and Comforted But from this it passeth on to a Second Rest which is the Record and Seal of the Spirit That which was now from the General Promises Literal is not to be staid in Christ in Flesh withdraws and will be known no more in That Figure but in the All-filling Power and Presence of Spirit whereby the Soul shall know him in Her-self So He does then become Salvation to the purpose No outward Application of Christ is of That Availance as a Christ within who pours in His Saving-Name as Oyntment which performs the Cure of the lapsed State of the Soul because an inward Disease must have an Intrinsical Medicine that may penetrate through the Inward Parts that all may be made whole This is the intended Redemption by Christ and nothing less will set the Soul to Rights again so as to give it Boldness to come to appear before That great Assembly of Perfect-Spirits Mount Sions-Kingdom Now we proceed to the third Rest which is yet more pleasant because it is Paradisical As the Travellor passeth through this Country there are various delightful Entertainments Ministring Angels and Spirits that in This Divine Principle do meet the Soul There also are the Sharon's Walks adorned with the Spicy-Beds that gives forth their Ravishing Odours This sometimes opens in the Soul with Sweet-Tastes and Refreshing Draughts for the Godhead Diffuseth it self through All of That Climate so as many Spirits are made vigorous and Joyful knowing nothing but an All-filling Sweetness all calm and still in the mind free from the terrifying Cares and Combustions of this World though in it yet forgotten by it at least during the time it is round beset with this Light and Heavenly Paradise so that the Soul is afraid to be disturbed as to the lower Descent into mortal things again Now we come to the third particular which is the last remove that bringeth up to That Mount-Sion which is mentioned in the Hebrews Thus the unwearied Soul goeth on from strength to strength and is now come to the Fourth particular That is to the Arrival to appear before GOD in Sion This is a High and Glorious Arrival This is a Rest never to be disrested of Now open do the everlasting Gates to receive the faithful Traveller that hath held out its Probation-State It further remains to give you an account as the fifth particular of the Traveller's welcome up There The first Appearance are the Angelical Order that stands before the Throne who commanded are to Usher in the Arrived bringing forth the Royal Robe which is all Pure and Light without spot of the Fallen-Night which giveth the Soul an Holy Boldness to appear in That New World or Principal of Light as becomes all manifest So as Christ the Kingly Priest doth to the Soul Appear and as a Bridegroom Greets it with such a kind of Love-Gratulations as followeth My Bride and Spouse I joy to see thy Soul in my Righteousness and that thou hast past through a dangerous Evil Tempting World and hast escaped with That tender Life of Mine in Thee by which thou art come up a Conquerour here and now behold and view the Glo●y of my Kingdom which the Father hath placed me in and over all Principalities Powers and Dominions both in the Heights above and in the Earth below so as I can give to whom I will to Possess with me Ioy for Ioy and Glory for Glory with me as I have received of my Father so freely I give to thee and as many as from an evil World shall break and get away and in a Pure Naked-Spirit in Loves flame Thus ascend Ask now Oh Spouse of Mine what it is that I should further for the do I give Thee Liberty to ask most free for thou hast found favour both with the Father and me Whereupon the arrived Traveller-worships and Bows before the Throne of GOD and the Lamb and in great Humility doth make this Reply saying in the Language of the Spirit Oh my Lord I am come up to this degree but sensible I am it is all of Benignant-Grace and Love from my GOD and Father and thy Spirit O Lord Christ that my Conduct and Guardian-strength hath been in This my Journey One great proof I have had of a mighty Strong Guard with continual supply from Thy Fountain-Heart or else I had fainted and failed by the way The consideration of it takes such deep Impression upon me that I am at a loss and know not wherewith to pay my Debt-Offering of Thanksgiving unto thee my God and King only accept of what I have which is beyond all Sounds of words that are too finite to express praises for such Boundless Goodness which my Spirit hath tasted so largely Hence it is now that I do study to offer That unto Thee which hath been refined and purified by the Spirit of Love-burning given from Thee unto me This then which is of Thine Own receive for I joy to pass it all away as my true Thanksgiving-Offering unto Thee No part shall I keep back from Thee had I ten thousand Immaculate Lives to give up to Thee all would be too little to run their strength of Love into Thee who hath wrought out so great a Redemption for me And now my Lord seeing I am thus

they may have their fullfilling upon us Of this sort and degree they are the choicest and greatest in the Kingdom of our Lord and have very stately Pavillions which are pitched round the Majesty of the Jehovah God whose Pavillion is so dreadfully bright being mingled with numerous Colours so oriental and fine that as glittering Stones they do shine and above this is spread a wonderful Element which dilateth it self all over these upper Heavens it seemeth to consist only of a transparent golden Mist which giveth a marvellous golden lustre for the Pleasures and Delight of the Inhabitants of this Heavenly Orb Here sometimes the Lord Christ enters into the Father's Royalty and the Holy Ghost and the seven Spirits which appear as radient and sparkling Flames and when I enquired about them what their Office was one of the chief Elders told me they were the seven Invisible Counsellors and mighty Powers equal with the Trinity by which the old Heavens and Earth should pass away in Mortal Creatures and also in the room of which should spring all new This new mold of Creatures both here and elsewhere in other Regions are by these seven Spirits to be performed and also by the going forth of these seven fold Powers that are to do the great wonders in the highest Heavens and so passing down to this lower Earth which time for their sending forth I was informed approach'd very near wherein they should be seen to move and turn all Spheres upside down Now the next marvellous appearance that opened was the Virgin Her Place and Mansion was pitched betwixt the Supream Majesty of the Father and the Throne of Glory of the Lord Christ Her Beauty and Comeliness being great cloathed with the Clouds in which there was such a silver brightness and on them fixed Stars of Gold with golden Hair hanging down with a Crown upon her Head more excelling than others and numerous Virgins the honourable ones such as loved and ministred to the Lord Christ here on Earth and also to her These had Seats round about Hers it would fill up a great Volume to give a Particular of the greatness of the Glory and Magnificency of this Heavenly Court a thousand degrees of Blessedness it is to have a Place and a Name enter'd among this Assembly Now it was shewn me that this Glorious Virgin was She of whom the Lord Christ was born in Flesh who is the Figure of the eternal Virgin which was from Eternity by whom is recover'd all of Eves Generation of Lost Births in which the Virgin-Purity was deflowred but out of this Virgins Womb brought forth and made manifest in time Angellical Births again for a new created Host of spiritual born Creatures begotten by the Holy Ghost wherein the unfathomable Mystery of the Wisdom and Love of God is made manifest to the lapsed state which came in by Adam and Eve so that we are to reckon our selves born anew into the unity tending to all Purity of Perfection with Christ our First Born from the Dead and for to appropriate this Eternal Virgin for our supernatural Mother It is to be observed those Words which our Lord did let fall when he was upon the Cross to the beloved Iohn saying to him Behold thy Mother which was the Virgin Mary who was the Representative of the Eternal Virgin So that from this it may be concluded that the Lord doth transfer this priviledge of Adoption whereby we may entitle this Virgin for our true Mother Now then from hence let us consider what great good we may expect and promise our selves from this our eternal Virgin Mother that now is very great in Wisdom Majesty and Power who cannot but be more naturally sympathising with her Children who are to be brought up after that high born degree and quality in Wisdom and Sanctity as may be after the similitude of their Virgin Mother Now no little care and concern is upon her as may relate unto her Childrens divine and spiritual Education to keep them up to it whilst they are in this perillous tempting evill World and whilst they are making their passage through it therefore seeing we have such mighty paternal Powers in heavenly Places as the Triunity of the Father Son and Spirit with the Virgin Wisdom and the seven Spirits and the Court of Ministring Angels and all the Evangelical Spirits to be our Friends in this most Holy and separated Place that all concurring together may fetch us off from the Earth and the temptations which therefrom do beset us with Legions of Spirits also which invisibly do wind and twist their false Injections into our Minds upon which account excited we are to make use of all these securing Dignities for our help The next thing to be considered of in relation of this new off-spring that are thus born from on high and yet are found to live here below in Bodies Elementary The Query is from hence what is to be their Business and Employ seeing none in the Heavenly World do remain idle therefore it is expected that all of Virgin Wisdom's Children here upon Earth should be in somewhat or other exercised which may suit and agree with their Eternal and Spiritual Descent which is proper to them that are quickned and made one Spirit with the Lord from Heaven Heavenly We are not in this Place to meddle with the outword Man's Calling what do pertain to him in this World but here to give out the Rules of Divine Wisdom as to her Children which are in number Three The first is that they learn to know themselves as to their original Pre-existency in God the Father and brought forth through the VVomb of the Eternal Virgin a pure simplified Spirit The second Rule is to consider and contemplate the triune God as the Father of such Spirits holy and sure seeing the glass of the works of his Creation in his manifold Wisdom made manifest therein as Love Power Omnipotency with all goodness and kindness to what he hath Created A third Rule is that we study from all this Knowledge to come to love and bluss fear and adore paying all Reverence and practical Conformity to the Life of Christ all which will lay a Foundation for what is to follow as tending to what is needful to accompany this high and heavenly Calling which may answer to the Kingdom of the Saints in the upper World which are the gifts which have been much lost and have had their cessation among the Saints in these late Ages but now the Virgin Mother calleth upon her Children to be looking after the restoration of them that so they may be employed and exercised in the works that Christ the Lord speak of should follow those who did believe in him which are to to be the sealing Witness of the Holy Ghost's coming and going forth in acting Powers through Mortals Now it may be asked what are these Gifts that are so needful and proper to Wisdoms Children The first

was This should be effected by Dying out of Creaturely Censation whereby a vacancy of Place for the Holy-Ghost to rise and spring and move as One Entire Spiritual Body within for so it will be when ever there is a cessation and a rest from the whirling Thoughts and Motions which from the outward Astral Birth is This will be the manner of my coming in this Latter-Day to stand upon the Earth which thus emptied is and refined by the Fire that never dieth which Fire is that Seed of God that shall multiply it self to bring your Christ forth numerously to overspread this World till all shall be formed a new Thus shall each one become a Christ or an Anointed from this Deified Root opening within their own Soul And when this Life of Christ shall out-grow its Minority and come to Maturity of Wisdom and Strength then it shall be known what you are made Heirs to and shall possess while in the age of time you do remain for Christ fully Grown will bring such Gain as Trains of Heavenly Powers will open and fly like Lightning that shall reach from one Nation to another by which the dark Corners of the Earth shall become light This is the New and Living Model which your Lord Christ will now begin to manifest himself in Therefore hereunto Let the Holy Anointed Ones be ever waiting for me till Power come over all that is Nature and Creaturely Spirit Seeing I have Oh my Lord Liberty of Speech further to proceed for Enquiry into this deep condescending Love of Thine what upon my Spirit do move which is How the ardent Soul that so great a lover of Thee is may have frequent admittance into Thy Council-Chamber to know hear and learn what may be conduceable to such an high degree of Unity as hath been mentioned by Thee For thou art so over cloathed with Greatness and Majesty that it is no light or easy thing to maintain such Accesses unto Thee as required is in so high an Import as this is For to know the Secrets that do concern the Kingdom of Thine and my Joy and Glory in Thee O my Lord be pleased in This to satisfy me Which was answered most sweet and mildly of my Lord in these words O thou Soul of mine thou hast searched deep for to find a Path of Life that few have found because it is all Holy Ground where none but Spirits that have put on my Spiritual Body can ascend and keep their feet steady in this Track which I to God the Father did freely pass and so may you as I in you this Risen-Body shall quicken up That so as hereby you may know it is not my Personal Glory that shall prevent such Spirits in this their humble and Love attempt For I your Lord do well know it is but expedient you should thus keep up your acquaintance with me For great will be your advantage hereby in taking and receiving from Me such fresh and wonderful Supplies of Wisdom and Knowledge in the Heavenly Mysteries as shall satisfy and quiet the Mind in the middest of an unquiet and disturbing World And now I have informed you in what you are priviledged in take all care to keep this way of the Spirit all free and clear that your Flight may not be stopped so then you will keep your Dwelling securely above with me in the Heavens and need not be careful what happeneth to the World beneath for your Mountain Scituation in God shall never be moved Therefore only happy unutterably are they who knows me thus for to be their new living and ascending way that as with my Spiritual Body they may go in and out taking what is for their present use which they may have from me all free as coming in the Faith of Sanctity Now having taken in these Communications from my Lord I found a precious feeding hereupon and did feel such a spreading and quickning Life come upon me as if all were filled with Christ in every part which may be compared to Elijah's stretching himself upon the dead Child which was made alive thereby Thus the Lord Christ draws a lively Draught of Himself in every part in the Soul and nourisheth it with his own Royal Blood which runneth thro' every Vein by which we know we have put on Christ in his Resurrection-Spirit and inward Body to which Perfect Thing coming Redemption is Finished Highly blessed are those that shall arrive hereunto By all these Manifestations I see the Day of Love is breaking out to compass the whole Earth and Christ will no longer a Stranger be for so he doth Prophesy in me That in the Holy-Ghost he will in this Last Age of the World more wonderfully appear therefore I am press'd in Spirit to Excite all that love and longeth for to see feel and know Him as a Present Counsellor and Comforter that they would thus prepare by Pureness of Heart and Mind waiting for this Love-Star to rise and multiply it self to numberless Stars of Love and Power that may a Heavenly Host be to proclaim the Glory of Christ's Kingdom Even so Come Thou Mighty King of Glory and make us Kings to Reign over all That of the Earthly Life as so redeemed by Thee Thou Lamb of God to whom the Hallelujahs is given A Post-Script Being a Question put to the Author which is this viz. Q. GOD being so Pure Holy and Good in Himself How comes Evil and Sin to be awakened since God is the Original from whence All Created Beings have proceeded As now both Angels and all Rational-Creatures are infected therewith all As this was answered privately so it is thought necessary and serviceable for the publich Satisfaction of All in General to be incerted Here being of a weighty Concern for to be Resolved in which is not from the Reach of Man's Knowledge or Wisdom but from the Revelation of the Spirit of Christ so given in and in This wise opened viz. A. That the Great and Mighty God and Creatour had all Principles and Centers both of Light and Darkness in Himself with Good and Evil Death and Life But all of These tho seeming contrary were bounded in Unity and Harmony So that the Darkness did not mingle to Ecclips the Light Nor the Evil to lessen and diminish the Good Or the Death to be hurtful to the Life The Divine Wisdom kept All in their Place and Station Vnviolated in Himself But what the Mighty God Procreated and Generated out of Himself Angels of That Kind which kept not their first Station they derived from their Creator All Essences both in the Light and in the Darkness and were very Noble Potent and Great But being now Distinct and apart from their Original Root The Being of God They found a Power in themselves to awaken what Principles or Essence they would standing in a Free-Liberty either to the Good or to the Evil But not being watchful to keep All in our Bounds in a meek
