without any consideration of a dividual Will in Creatures though sinking fallen from the glory of the Creator of all forms in Nature so subjected under a state of Corruption XLI And as the FIFTH day became subjected unto the Government of that under whose power all forms in Nature were brought forth I saw a THIRD PART of the Stars in the Heavens moved from the WEST to the EAST for the Glory of the Sun in the midst of the Heavens suffered the Motion of what drew TWO and as it were both WAYES as the Clouds of Darkness came to intermix their darkning quality in the Air between the Original Cause and Center of such Glory in its shining Properties and Virtues and the Creatures sence wherein the Lustre became apprehensive XLII And God beholding all Forms in Nature in the state of Subjection wherein they were placed in Creation as labour came to be felt coming up into the Body of Nature after Gods forming and finishing of Work on all that came forth out of the Womb of Eternity he became moved for his Creatures sake that second time which creature remained subject in the ground of the Lifes first motion to the unmoveable power from which SELF could not separate him without the yielding of his own WILL. XLIII But the MAN in divided qualities who was thus made Keeper of the Vineyard of his Brethren came forth as a WAY-FARING Man and Pilgrim in the Earth whose Face was exalted in the Principle and Region of AIR and in the World was his Body afflicted wherein he lost his way as a stranger to his Journeys end though attainable and sought it with Tears for Rests-sake XLIV Yet for FORTY DAYES was he tryed in that state whether or not he could live without the food of that which drew the LIFE under the power of corruption And for FORTY WEEKS was the form of Nature subjected for Generations sake after it became thus degenerated into its Principle for the replenishing the Earth anew in the state under which the Worlds were fallen XLV For all that came forth from the Womb of Eternity in FIVE DAYES took form from the Womb of Nature on the FIFTH day of Gods Glory in the Body of Creation and came forth imbodied in the Creaturely form whereby it was separated in its own Region and being as a peculiar SOURCE in the SPHERE wherein it was brought forth thus imbodied in form over which the WHEELS moved in their SEVEN TURNS and overturnings XLVI And all properties in the outward Wheel came forward in the Annual Motion thereof but that which came forth in its DIURNAL Motion went BACKWARD from the first moving cause of all beings in Creatures and things though it was also forward in the course and race which it had to run which in reference to the INWARD WHEEL was SIDEWAYES from EAST to WEST whereby the Wheels came to move through the whole frame of the Heavens both EAST WEST NORTH and SOUTH in its course which was of thirty years of thirty months of thirty dayes and thirty hours XLVII But the course in the Inward Wheel was of TWELVE YEARS making a separation of all that came forth in the twelve hours of the day in the light whereof it was given for man to work and TWELVE HOURS of the night that came stealing on Men and all other Creatures wherein no man can work and of the Twelve MONTHS of the year whereby the hours of the day became multiplied into their number separating between Winter and Summer XLVIII And this was the ground of all ANNUAL Motion in the Wheels which from the fifth day came FIVE YEARS forward wherein God had glory in the work of Separation in its divided Properties and Qualities that made SEVEN REVOLVES in a Week a Month and a Year of a natural Day of TWELVE HOURS divided from the night CHAP. V. Describing the Government of Nature as it was brought forth under the Power of four Forms in the first FOUR BEASTS XLIX THen I saw until the BEAST himself had taken unto him FIVE HEADS and NINE HORNS on each Head was a Horn but on the Head in the midst of the four which was the fifth Head were FIVE Horns and over his Heads and Horns past THIRTY-FIVE DAYES and a course in the Moon was exalted for a season but the Beast was driven EASTWARD and he came forth again and received a Wound on the Head which was in the midst but the Wound was healed up and he was driven from the Face of the Earth and I said Whither is he gone To which the Angel replyed He is gone into the EAST until THIRTY DAYS divide what cometh forth in FIFTEEN YEARS L. But Day and Night being separated in both Worlds in which the Two great Lights were moved about in their over-ruling Power the glory of the Power of Supremacy in GOD became manifest in both grounds to wit the ground and cause of both the DAY and NIGHT for the man whose Face was exalted in the Principle of Air in the Heavens magnified the sufferance of God by his Spirit for a season against the Creature and Creation of God which became a MARR'D IMAGE of the IDEA in all Forms in Nature though it was the Workmanship of his Hands LI. And the Glory and Lustre of all STARS distinguishable in their Operation and Qualities over Coelestial and Terrestrial Bodies became exalted forms which had TINCTURE among the dignified Virtues in Natures Course and Bond of Equality in Government out of which the DRAGON made up his Tail in the division of the Heavens which were moved about and drew the Creature under the power of Destruction LII Though the Body of Light and Glory through which the Suns Lustre came thus to shine was and is UNMOVEABLE except thus in its suffering wherein it did move as it was MOVED and no otherwise for it was not moveable from the Eternal CENTRE in all beings which is unalterable but from or in Nature whereby the fulness of all glory remained incomprehensible but the WORKER was therein apprehended in a shaddow and the glory of God seen darkly as in a Glass LIII For after all forms in the work of Creation were finished according to what I saw come forth out of the Womb of Eternity the WHEELS came to move over these forms in Nature which stood subject to the Power of God in the CHANGE which was come into the WORLDS and the name of the FIFTH DAYES work in God was in the Heavenly Language the ORB of MAHALALEEL in which the QUINTESSENCE of life strove in a Mystery among the forms of Nature LIV. But as the Worlds continued sinking in their state and condition wherein I beheld all things and Creatures thus brough forth that THIRD which aboad exalted in the Region of Air could not come into form in that creaturely being without great hurt and wrong to the Body of Nature therefore were all forms in Nature corrupted into MONSTROUS SHAPES
of moveability because God is the unchangeable being of Love Delight in REST in the Center of all that is good and Nature is that into which good and evil hath entered from whence its TREE hath sprung up and doth grow which the Creature who is the cause of work and labour in God hath fed on that hath brought the sence of pangs and misery into the World where is the worldly sorrow that worketh and bringeth under the power of Death and all other afflictions they meet with in their way CHAP. V. Describing the Form and Order of the WHEELS in their MOTION XXV FOR God is the cause of nothing without NATURE though in the Wheels there appeared two Motions whereby the cause of moveability was kept from centering in the ground of Corruption and Mortality under the power of which the Creature of God was thus fallen in a NATURAL Body through that which was sown in Weakness therefore in what ever the Creature was betrayed under the power of its guidance it was a CROSS to all proneness and adiction of Motion that did arise from the ground of Corruption XXVI And about the CENTER in which stood a Heart inflaming was made a Diurnal Motion in the Wheels which moved at a distance in two Rings of the inward Wheels wherein the third and inward Principle moved equally with the ground of Motion from the first CENTER and the two outward Principles of the inward World acted according to what was formed in a third Principle by which those three Principles came to manifest their CENTER in Nature XXVII But in the WHEELS there was also an Annual Motion that moved round that which stood fixed in the Center and this caused a ground without the Center as it stood manifest through the inward Motion to be corruptible and to Center under a power of Corruption though in those inward Rings of the Wheels there were kept and preserved a tincture of the first Motion XXVIII Yet having let in another Tincture from the power of Corruption under which the Worlds were labouring to Center what ever came forward under its motion must again be brought back into the sence and feeling of that which it reacheth after through DEATH to the cause of all labour and pangs wherein the Body of Nature standeth afflicted XXIX For there was neither East West North nor South from the Center in the inward Rings of the Wheels though it appeared to me in the ground whereon I lay for the beholding of the Vision that as the outward Rings in the Wheels were moved in a power of the four Winds of the Heavens the inward motion was from East to West and the Wheels went side wayes in all courses of the World XXX In which the three Rings of the outward Wheels did move and were moved according to the frame of the Worlds wherein centered the Principles of the whole but the inward Wheels moved by reflection the CENTER being unmoveable wherein two Rings only were discerned at a distance in that inward Wheel though in the Principles of each and both Worlds there were moved about three Rings in each Wheel XXXI And though in the outward Ring of the Inward Wheel in its Diurnal Motion the Heavens did move and were moved in what stood fixed toward the CENTER yet the outward Ring of the outward Wheel standeth 〈◊〉 in the 〈◊〉 distance of years from the motion in the 〈◊〉 as doth the inward Ring of 〈◊〉 inward Wheel from the revolution of the Moon in the Annual Motion of the Wheels And in the second Ring of the outward Wheels the Heavens were moved about in their Annual Motion at the same distance from the Center as they were in the second Ring of the inward Wheel in their Diurnal Motion CHAP.

Oh! how hath thy practice clouded the Glory of thy Profession and because of a Spirit of Cruelty that hath possessed the strength of thy Zeal in a mis-informed mind how hast thou laid a stumbling block in the WAY of the simple and caused the Ignorant to despise the truth of sound Doctrine XI Dost thou believe Purgation of the Body of Nature from the cause that hath held it down under the Power of Death wherein the Souls of the Righteous have remained crying and groaning under the Altar of God Why then continue ye in the enmity and Spirit of Cruelty to the life of the Just both in your selves and others for where that Life is not refreshed and nourished it dieth for want of strength because it is the Souls strengh to be fed with the Bread of Comfort in God wherein it receives all blessing from him and the Body also without that Spirit is dead XII It is the living therefore that can praise God aright in that power that entereth the Ear of the Dead for whom they stand in Jeopardy every hour making their Supplications unto God in his Spirit that breaketh open the Prison Doors and is come to Preach to the Spirits in Prison comforting the sick and weak that lyeth languishing under the Power of Death and visiting the needy in the day of its distress and calamity through which the dead becometh again raised up to life and immortality in GOD. XIII Many things I have to say unto thee because thou mixest thy inventions with the Doctrine of Truth and hast exalted thy self in the superstition of those gain-sayers that perished before thee great are the Tryals that have overtaken thee and that which is come upon thee cannot be parallel'd because of the end of all things that is come up before the LORD Have I not seen the going down of thy Glory among the Stars of the Night surely it is set in the WEST and it hath a SOUTH Cloud over its Beam but from the EAST is the Morning broke forth and towards the NORTH doth the Star shine that hath burning flames mentained in the dissolution of such forms of Nature that have caused an exhaling in the excremental parts of the fiery Heavens XIV And unto the Angel of the Churches in the separated Islands in the North the transplantation of Europe thy Names are many and divers art thou in the perswasion of thy Judgement in the Doctrinal part of Truth And these are become the Horns on the Heads of the BEAST in Nature which shall hate the WHORE that hath exalted SELF in the destruction of the glory of two Tribes for ten Tribes shall return to behold that which hath been healed up deceitfully in the appearance of the RAM from the EAST whose coming forth is to ex lt his Horns wherewith he shall be found pushing three wayes to wit WEST and NORTH and SOUTH XV. And there will be striving in the EARTH until a HOLY PEOPLE cometh to sit down in their own Land for God is come down into the forms of Nature and will work as in the dayes of old and every on that seeeth him shall be affected with his LOVE and shall mourn bitterly over him as his beauty cometh to be seen in the Earth and overspreadeth the Worlds but none shall be able to awaken his displeasure against others though he will cut off great and strong Nations in his way in his own time and not for the sake of the Wishers of mischief that may inkindle a fire in the Center of the ground from whence their life doth spring XVI But the Angel of my BELOVED hath given in charge unto the Daughters of SION that they awake not Gods displeasure neither stir up the Beloved desire of the welfare of all Nations before he please for you that profess zeal against Superstition see that you stand not above the ground of Humility from whence charity doth spring unto the distressed which worketh the WILL of God in the manifestation of Glory through the LIGHT of his countenance that is lifted up over the Nations by the arising of the Sun of Righteousness with healing in his WINGS XVII For I am well assured of the love of God to his despised Remnant and handful of little Ones trampled on by all and now set in the Front of the BATTEL in which Gods Cause hath engaged them though by the Mighty they are deserted as left to the rage and fury of the Devouring Enemy And I have beheld also such that have plenty in their own Houses yet are they found covetously lusting after one EWE-LAMB of the POOR And shall they prosper saith the LORD since his Sword which he hath not drawn in vain shall not depart from their House until Jerusalem become a quiet Habitation for evermore for an exercise hath sprung from their own Bowels through a Rebellious Seed that flattereth in the WAY XVIII But the ground of all this awakened Fury did break forth in the Spirit of the WORLD in the Nature of sensual Separations in the dispersed forms of the Apostatizing Spirit from its first Love by which the Faith of Gods Elect worketh But Gods intention is to purge his own House and Sanctuary first that his People may be white and clean from the Worldly Spirit of enmity and bitterness which springeth from the covetous Root that standeth in the lusting ground wherefore the BEAST hath power to exalt his HORN for a season XIX Therefore cease Oh cease ye MIGHTY of the EARTH to strive against the Lord for ye have been contending with one another in selfs concernment until your time of healing is well nigh spent in controversies and now hath God taken his own cause into his HANDS and hath it in consideration which he will plead for the Meek of the Earth in the Heart of their Enemies And notwithstanding many things are suffered for a Tryal of their FAITH to God who profess his Name and Truth yet is it not to destroy them but to purifie and refine them wherein Judgement is still strengthened against that part which hath given way to the power and work of the Enemy either in the Particular or General And I am assured deliverance will come in Gods time which is when his People are so sitted thereby that God can get himself a Name in their Salvation XX.

the BOOK and on the day of the first Beast in Nature I beheld the coming forth of the great LYON that stood Rampant in the WHEELS among the forms in Nature and he called to his DAY Come and see And I beheld on the back of the LYON four Wings of a Fowl in which were thirty six thousand Fethers in each Wing and therein were written so many names of Men for the Wings were of Golden Feathers and his Face was towards the WEST VI. But on the coming forth of this first BEAST the Winds were moved and greatly strove on the face of the WATERS which were gathered together in heaps on the great SEAS And in the Night season there broke forth flashes of Lightning and Fire under the Roof of the House wherein I was exercised with the Vision of the WONDERS of God and his Glory which the PEOPLE saw but understood not the Mystery thereof and great fear fell upon them being not usually exercised with things of that Nature but I laid up all these things in my Heart until I came to know the meaning thereof VII And I cryed unto the Lord with a loud Voice What is the Mystery of all these things that I have seen For loe I am become weak and feeble like a little Child and have beheld until nought was remaining in the Heavens but a Sealed Book under the Power of a Strong Angel of God and it hath been taken to the Learned to Read but they said Lo it is Sealed and we cannot read nor open the Book or loose the Seals thereon and also to the hands of the unlearned it hath been communicated and they say We are not learned so that through the power of the Lyon it hath been shut up for a long season that hath caused weeping in the Heavens VIII And through the loosing of the Seals of God from off the Book of Wonders that was taken out of the Angels Hand at the appearance of the Lamb of God that taketh away sin from the WORLD and that was slain from the Foundations thereof that in the Fathers time he might come forth a Witness of the fulfilling of the daily Sacrifice unto God I beheld the Lamb with his seven Horns full of Eyes as the seven Spirits of God that walketh among the seven Golden CANDLESTICKS and are like unto seven Lamps of fire burning which are seven Stars in the Angel of God whose form is like unto the Son of Man and who travelled among the Churches who are saluted in their seven Angels until a second Seal on the Book became loosed in my sight IX And the second Beast with the Face and in the form of a Cherub or Calf called to his day Come and see and I beheld on the EARTH the form of a great BULL and he came at his Liberty and came towards me with Violence breaking over all bonds in his way and though I had by me a Weapon of Defence yet had I not power to use it to that end but was otherwise preserved from hurt of that Wild Beast But as the West Wind was reproved as the Waters were moved on the great SEAS by the striving of the Winds the second Beast roared rearing himself on his hinder Legs whereby he stood upright which was terrible to behold X. And I said unto the Angel of God How long shall this continue Then I beheld the BULL cast into a deep and dark Pit in Nature while the fourth Beast in the forms of Government in the Body of Nature was set to watch over him by the third Beast with the Face of a MAN for as the third Seal on the Book came to be loosed and taken off the third Beast called to his day Come and see And I beheld from the Face of the Heavens wherein a course of Glory in the Sun of the day of the Son of Man was comprehended in the Heart of the Lyon that night which was come into the Body of Nature was dispersed and the power of the Heavens over the forms in Nature were divided into four Parts in the coming forth of the Worlds into manifestation XI Then appeared the form of a little BEAR that arose on the LYONS side and he took three Ribs out of the Lyons side and held those three Ribs in his Mouth for a long season And from the Tail of the little Bear among the Signs in the Heavens the Power of the DRAGON was loosed and appeared among the Forms in Nature who made up his Tail out of a third Part of the Stars in the Heavens which were drawn towards the NORTH XII And I beheld until the LYONS Wings were pluckt from him and he stood on the EARTH like a Man and a Mans HEART was given unto him for out of the EAST came the form of a RAM with two Horns and his pushing was three wayes to wit WEST and NORTH and SOUTH and when he had lifted up the BULL out of the PIT he was caught by his Horns in the Thickets of the Earth And in the Heavens was the form of the WOMAN exalted in the Bulls Eye called Oculus Tauri And she had in her Hand a Crown of twelve Stars which was taken from her Head and put on the Head of the Lyon CHAP. II. Describing the Motion of the Wheels in their seven turnings over all that came forth into manifestation in the loosing of the seven Seals on the the Book c. XIII BUT as the fourth Beast called to his day Come and see through the loosing of the fourth Seal on the Book I saw the Face of an EAGLE in the Heavens in whose right Eye the form of the VIRGIN in Nature was exalted among the Forms and the second great light in the Heavens was comprehended in the Breast of a great Bear who had also the four WINGS of a Fowl on his Back And the Winds again strove on the great Seas wherein the WATERS were greatly moved in the coming forth of this fourth Beast XIV And as the MAN prevailed in the Heavens I beheld all consumed which stood under the Power of the Waters and the Name of the third Month was called SIVAN in the Nature of what was produced from the Heavens whence came a Voice from the Heart of the LYON in the fiery Heavens Let the Light shine into the Earth that that which is done may appear and be seen And the form of the Heavens stood divided in a double Relation of that which is comprehended in Day Night wherein the Day in Nature had its two-fold Operation over all forms subjected into being in that State and the Clouds of the Heavens were folded up together wherein I saw the form of the RAM coming down out of the Head of Nature descending the right Arm of the Man in the forms of Nature and there went up towards his Head the form of a HEE GOAT mighty and strong and there was labour in the Heavens for the space of sixty one

VII Describing the form of the Temple which setled its Foundations on SEVEN MOUNTAINS of the EARTH LXXIII ON four of those MOUNTAINS rested the Body of the Temple according to its Foundations and the names of the Months by which they were called which stood in the fourth part of the WORLD with its Corners and Quarters East West North and South according to the four Winds of the Heavens that were moved from thence with their four Angels exalted on their Towers from the sounding of the sixth Angel on the great River EUPHRATES through that which prevailed in the fiery triplicity of the Heavens over the Earth and Waters in their third part LXXIV Wherein the Vernal Quarter was Manifest in a fourth Mountain from whence all Fruits of the Earth came under fiery Tryals to the scorching and consuming all that stood on that foundation in the Ground of such a Nature whence it received the name of the 4th Month called THAMUZ and on the fifth Mountain which had the name of the fifth Month called AB was manifest the Image of Jealousie from whence proceeded the fiery Zeal of that consuming power which prevailed over the Fruits of the Earth until they became reaped after which was nought found through the appearance of a sixth Mountain which had the name of the sixth month called ELVL LXXV And in the Temple there appeared the form of a WOMAN exalted in the Heavens on whose Forehead was written JEZEBEL the Mother of Harlots and I beheld until nought was remaining but the Palms of her hands which the Dogs refused to eat yet did she reign as Queen of Nations and had power over the Kings of the Earth there appeared the Scarlet coloured BEAST on which her form was exalted who was very gloriously decked and adorned with Gold and precious Stones and Pearls and Purple and delicate aray and on her forehead was a name wrote MYSTERY BABYLON the Great the Mother of all Fornication LXXVI And she was carried into the Wilderness whither I was led by the Angel who shewed me her Cities of Refuge and there was a very great City in which the sixth Thunder thundered
