Bradford in Iewen-Street near Crowder's-Well 1696. A Message to the Philadelphian Society c. § 1. A Voice from out of the Throne of the Majesty on High did ●hus cry saying U●seal the living Testimony wherein new and Fresh things will be revealed For in as much as there are holy Seekers and loving Inqui●ers so accordingly my Spirit is at hand to open Seal after Seal ●ill the whole Mystery of a Total and Full Redemption shall be understood § 2. Now the same Voice did a second time cry saying Ye that have an Ear hear what the Spirit saith cast up and remove all stumbling-blocks ou● of the way For the Lord whom ye have waited for is drawing near to be revealed in and af●er a wonderful manner Therefore as my Dove-Flock do ye assemble and wait in the Unity of pure Love praying in the Holy Ghost who may go forth to multiply more Universally So shall my Kingdom upon the Earth spread as Plants of Righteousness in my own Likeness and so beholding my self in them my Joy shall be ●illed I am your Immanuel who am the Tree of Life● that with variety of Fruits will you feed and as ye are a Fountain of Gardens unto me so will the golden Floods from pure Deity ●low to water you throughout that in a distinct way ye may grow and spring as the Lily and Rosy Sharon In the midst of which I your Kingly Shepherd will walk and familiarly with you talk so as you shall not complain that I am as a Stranger to you and gone away to leave you as if ye were nothing more to hear from me Know it is far from me so to desert my Love-Inquirers who will not leave you to live upon an old and literal stock for I am that Antient present Rock that will still follow you to open and give forth the Powe● of All-acting Wonders that will gush out plenteously § 3. Then the Voice the third time cryed Blow the Trumpet and proclaim the beginning of the Lamb's Reign who is come to pitch his Throne in Virgin Minds Into which the Honey-Dews shall fall to keep them from all Famine and Drought for that the Fountain● of Life now stands open to refresh and cherish every Plant. § 4. For a farther Confirmation of this and in order to gather up prepared Souls to Mount Sion by the sound of the Trumpet which now blows forth from thence and to knit them in the pure Unity of the Virgin Philadelphian Church tha● they may be presented as one holy Bride without the least spot or deformity by the beloved Bridegroom to his Father I had a Representation shewed me of the several Gathered Churches belonging to Protestantism that came every one in their Order before the Head-Shepherd who was sitting upon the Throne of Judgment Which alluded to Iesse's Seve● Now ●ons that were called to pass ●efore the Prophet Now follows the VISION of the Seven Churches § 5. Fi●st came the Eldest which was the Prelatical Function with their National Church and Disciplin'd Members who would be owned as the Lord 's Anointed but they were refused and shut●out The Second were of a more refined Order nominated by the Name of the Presbytery these also were excluded as the former they could not enter nor have their Mission sealed Thirdly came up a sort that assumed the Apostolical Dispensation in a separated way in the Use of Ordinances more Purely called Independants or the Congregational Churches these were also excepted against and dismissed Then in the Fourth place another sort that imitated the former but such a Flock as came up all washed and linked in the F●ith of Water-Baptism known by the name of Anabaptists presented themselves these also passed away Then Fifthly a Congregated Company that were in the outward formal Part wholly looking and gazing after the State of Christ's Reign and Monarchical Government upon the Earth in a visible manner not turning into or e●ing the foregoing Reign of the Holy Ghost as that which constitutes the Heave●ly Corporation named the Fi●th Monarchy Church but these were also disowned Then did I see a Body greater then any of these come up with great Boldness as deeming themselves to have arrived to Perfection and so visibly distinguishing themselves from all the rest and said Now surely the Anointed of the Lord is before him But a Voice said Neither are these they for the Lord seeth not as Man seeth No Formal Temple shall henceforth be in the everlasting Church of Christ● But of the Stem of David a Virgin Church which hath known nothing of Man is yet to be born into this Earth as to the Manifestation and Propagation thereof § 6. And it was farther shewn me that as David was one of the Seven yet least of all set by or accounted of so it will be also in the matter of the Anointed Church For the Spirit of David who hath derived from Abraham the Spirit of Faith● Love and Meekness as the Type of Heart-Perfection which though it be of no repute but lieth obscure and hid yet the Holy One will find out such to be the Blossoming Root to precede Solomon's Day will bring forth a blessed Offspring whose Train shall be lifted up to the Throne where no more Types or Shadows or Forms shall be For all of this kind shall flee away and dye no corrupt Figure can stand with the Lamb upon Mount Sion For to such a Celestial Degree will the Seventh be Anointed for the Tabernacle-Church that no other Form but God and the Lamb shall be therein seen or understood § 7.
