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
Direction for such spiritual-minded Souls as do desire to be well acqainted with a life in God and therein to rest As the first Rule was to discharge and acquit all unnecessary clogs and weights exteriourly so This more interiourly which is by taking all care to clear away from the Heart and Mind the Scum that boileth from Corruptible Nature from whence Generateth multiplicity of profuse Imaginations that no stop can be put to but as the Spring of the Holy-Ghost doth open and drown That chaffy dust which defileth the Temples body Now this skill the Soul must of the Holy Spirit learn that as fast as the puddled-matter of this Kind do rise in the mind so immediately dowse and bath thy self in the Springing Pool where from the Water of Life doth bubble up for That is our Healing and it is as near us as the other contrary Source And thus we may keep our Hearts all pure and clearer reserved to be the most Holy Sanctuary for the Priestly-Spirit to minister in and to make ready a Holy seperated place for GOD and CHRIST to manifest themselves in us Upon This account was the Holy Ghost promised and also given to prepare and make straight the crooked ways internally for Christ his Spiritual Humanity to take up in a pure mind As Iohn the Baptist went before to prepare and declare Him to be the Lamb of GOD to take away the Sins of the World that by Iohn's Ministry a Reformation and Repentance unto life might be given But all this was short of the Spirits Ministry as Iohn confessed which is now come to be revealed Christ being glorified in a body all spiritual He cannot come to Joyn himself with any Soul but where this Holy Spirit abides before-hand to refine and purge the floor of the Heart This is the office of the Spirit Now hence we do see our selves bound to treat This Holy Messenger kindly It is an Infinite valuable Gift Oh therefore prize Him at a High rate for by Him and through Him we have all Knowledge and Intelligence from our Father's House and all of that Heavenly Family We should never know any thing of That state of life which is after Death but as this good Friend the Holy Unction makes out from the Treasury of God's manifold Wisdom Therefore who would not for so great a benefit keep their minds all Vacant and Pure for such a Comforter to abide with them who can tell us of things that are yet to come as the time Present and Eternity and This he doth and will do still for those that love and delight in his Company I must say and leave it for a Living Testimony behind me that had it not been for This precious Sealing-gift of This Holy Spirit I must have spent my days in Gloominess and Sadness Sorrow and Misery Which by the received Gift of This Spirit my age of time hath been past away with much Peace Pleasure and Joy tho' often thronged in upon by this Worlds annoy which could never disrest me whilst I could but keep the Spirit with me who had ever more New things to bring out of his Store to quiet and pacifie what at any time was ruffled and so much disquieted in me This I have only made mention of to provoke such or as many as This Treatise may Read and seriously ponder it in the true Spirit then will they know from whence This is written and prize it greatly and wisely make provision for This self-same bright enlightning Star out from their Hearts to spring who will prepare the way for Christ the King to reign till he hath put down all that can be called Sin for to This end is the Holy Ghost given and still a giving but in various measures and degrees some one portion others double and treble according as a dedication and preparation of Soul is found where most stillness and privacy for a divine contemplative Life is fixed There this Holy Guest will frequently visit whereby it doth well inform and acquaint the devout Soul with what is doing and transacting in the Heavenly Country and Royal City which the Majesty of GOD doth enlighten with his Glory The Discourse the Spirit may maintain with us about this upper Worlds Affairs will mightily hold us and wind up our minds so as we shall fear to let them down into this defiling World lest it should raise a cloud of interposition betwixt the Heavens and us as too sorrowful it hath often been known therefore watch and pray and cease not to keep upon your Guard always But now it may be said This is a Glorious and high Priviledge to receive of This Spirit which bringeth out of GOD's Treasury things New and Old but the way to obtain this Gift is very costly for the Rules prescribed carry out to such a self Abnegation and Denounceation of a creaturely life in Flesh and carnal Sense that it is very rarely that any are able to obtain and retain this precious and holy Anointing whereby we come to know the secret and deep Things of GOD. True it is This Jewel will not be found in common earthly Ground there are several measures as I have mentioned for they that have no degree of This Spirit of Christ cannot be his but if there be so much of this Light as doth check and reprove of Sin and it be Obeyed Then the Spirit will manifestly multiply for Councel and Comfort and so go on to reveal himself clearer as he finds the Heart giving up to be his peculiar Place of Residence that so he may keep all in a sanctified Order in preparation for more extraordinary things to be communicated For the Spirit riseth higher and higher as the Soul is emptied of its own self It may be queried but is there any in this Age of Time that can give any instance of their being baptised with the Holy-Ghost as in the Apostles days Yea surely the succession of which hath been witnessed by some or other in every age since although not in the same manner as with cloven Tongues and rushing Winds This visible Demonstration of the Spirit was to have its day and so pass away and now operates in a more Intrinsical manner and method in Vessels fitted out thereunto Therefore what was done visibly is now more invisible inspiring and opening as a glowing Flame in the Heart lying there as a live burning Coal which is known to us to be the true baptizing of the Holy-Ghost which is in present feeling and when ever it is in its highest penetrating power it may ac● forth it self in miraculous Deeds and Works as the present occasion may call for This has been known and experienced by some in this Age. Then again another evidence of the Spirit is Internals Gusts and Breaths of divine Air by which the Soul is often mounted up upon the wing of This Word or Breath of the Spirit and so gets up to the Heavens entring into the
