greatness of an Astral Spirit have ruled as potent and strong But the divine Magus that God will ra●se shall far out-do all rational C●aft and Subtilty so that all must be Tributaries and Servants to the anointed of the Most High This is the Crown that will be ●he certain Reward to them who to these Baptisms do fully arrive § 39. An additional Opening came upon an Objection in my self that was raised upon the clear Oracle Dispensation which was this How we should possibly come to distinguish the true Sound of the Holy Ghost passing through us without being adulterated by contrary Spirits that do dash in before the Globe of Nature come to be all fully refined and the muddy Issue stopped This hath been the ground that hath made such deviation and erring from Truth For the method and manner of God's revealing his Mind is not Now so much by those Local Voices as before the Anointing of the Holy Spi●it was given For the Patriarchs and Prophets before Christ's sending down the Holy Ghost had God's Mind delivered unto them by an Express Voice and plainness of Speech which was well understood and known by them to be the express Word of the Lord. And though in those Ages there were false and mixed things that did enter into some who did also reveal true Prophe●ies from God yet the Event of things did it shew and there God's witness was against them But the very Holy Men of God who were truly inspired from his Mouth were ever more attended with a Signal Power whereby they knew it to be of the Lord As much might be called up from what is recorded in Scrip●ure ●or to justifie this Truth But to Answer this grand Objection how it may be cleared What i● of the Spirit 's true dictate from that which is otherwise for it must be granted that it is rare to fi●d that any one hath arrived to that Clarity that nothing of Soil is cast up in the Mind to discolour the Golden Spring of Divine Revelation that does distinctly run Which is discernible by the Spirit of Sound Judgment● that decides and determins all Matters according to the Laws of Christ's Invisible Kingdom which differs and thwarts all of this visible and exteriour judging that Kingdom down For such a superiour wise understanding Spirit doth still survive in some Elected hereunto as in Moses Samuel and Solomon and so all along according to the gift of God th●t doth run from Age to Age rising yet more high and eminent as the Most High takes pleasure to dignifie those who are of the right Line of Abraham's Seed to whom the Promise doth belong that there shall never cease to be a Prince upon th● Throne to judge in Truth and in Righteousness as God's impartial witness in the Soul Of this Moses and the seventy Elders were a Type upon whom God's spirit of Wisdom did rest for determining of Causes that the People from day to day brought before them So verily it is now applied more Internally to those innumerable generating Essences that within the circumference of the Mind do still rise as matter of Controversie to be decided by the true Judge and Law-giver Who in no wise will be corrupted or byassed but make all to bow according to the Light and Eternal Word of Truth Oh the strange Insurrections of Thoughts as so many Princes that would put in to bear part of the Priesthood and Prophetical Function rushing in as Korah ●athan and Abiram that rose ●p with all their Trains saying Are we not meet to judge equal with the Spirit Why take ye so much upon you are not we Spiritual Why may not our Verdict be heard in the Court of the Lord's Tabernacle This is the Language that may be understood in and among the confused Thoughts that would ex●lt themselves against the One only Anointed of the Lord in us Who hath the preeminence to draw nigh to hear and to receive from the most Holy in a distinct separated way from all the common thoughts that rise from the sensitive ground that are under all mixed Confusion Which are the intruding Spirits that are to be brought to tryal and hereby it will be made to appear as in the case betwixt Moses and those murmuring Princes the Decision was given God owned and took part with his own meek Spirit in Moses and gave power to send them down alive into the Deep And thus it will be carried on Internally the Lord will raise and magnifie his own true Prophet within us that shall have a peculiar access unto him in the holy Priesthood and go apart from the whole Congregation of thoughts which are denominated for the mixed Multitude Upon which bounds are to be set that they break not in where God calleth his holy anointed One up to commune about ●he Secret Things that are yet fur●●er to be revealed in order to the ●●tling of the Priestly Kingdom in 〈◊〉 ●eaceable Reign of Christ. § 40. For indeed all need there is for this Wise Solomon to sit upon the Throne to judge the many Causes that will arise and still come before him for determination Till such time that all Strife and Commotion from the Astral Spirit shall cease and no more any such evil occurrent shall be To which effect the Spirit 's Reign will bring all unto and every thought that contrarily does stir and yields not up to these Princely Spirits that in Love and Meekness with Truth and Righteousness doe govern all things in the reign of the Soul that is to be reduced to this pure and spiritual stilne● for a quiet Habitation in which the Trinity may a●●ee to dwell meeting wi●● 〈◊〉 in most excellent Harm●●y that answers to the Eternal Unity of their own Divine Being § 41. This is that Leb●non Glory in all its high d●grees Which the Spirit of Iesus is driving into from the cursed murmuring Spirits that still would be mi●●ng with the Lo●d's anointed Prophet within us Therefore Authority is to be taken in Iehovah's Name to exclude and throw out what will not suit to the Priestly Government For with that Mosaical Spirit God will only be free with all to tell his Mind and commit his Secrets to All other springing Essences that do fly upward from the imaginary part must be searched tried and judged in the superiour Court by that Unction of God that is abstracted from all stirring strange Essences that would readily give in their Votes to corrupt the pure rising Spring of God's Counsel Which had need to be strongly guarded for Attempts to thrust in may easily be discerned But the cry that I do hear pass through me is to keep the Oracle clear that the Heart of God may always live and move there And for this cause Ioshuah after Moses doth arise to bring us forward and on till we come to possess the choice and rich things that are reserved to this Day in the New Ierusalem Land where our
