Do ye know the Paradice of God and the Tree of Life there Do ye indeed feed thereon Have you passed through the Flaming Sword to the Tree of Life and is the Flaming Sword which once fenced from Life and the Power thereof set now to fence up the way to the Tree of Knowledg that ye may feed no more thereon and dye but feed only on that which is Life and gives Life and so live for ever Q. 4. Have ye witnessed the effects of the great and terrible day of the Lord in your Spirits Is Antichrist destroyed the Whore burnt Flesh consumed Man ceased from both within and without Is the Loftiness of Man bowed down in you the Mighty removed out of his seat and the Meek Holy Humble seed raised up to rule in Righteousness in your hearts Is every high Tower battered down and every fenced Wall laid flat are all your imaginations and conceivings and fleshly apprehendings upon Scriptures yea every pleasant Picture and Image of the things in Heaven formed in your minds brought to an end and the pure living truth of the Father waited for received from him and lived in Yea is the Lord alone exalted in your Spirits and all other Dominion Authority Rule and Lordship put under Q. 5. Do ye know the Mountain of the Lord's House and the Lord's House built and established by his own Holy Spirit and Power upon his own Holy Mountain and do ye worship the Lord alone therein Do ye come up to the New-Jerusalem to offer your sacrifices there according to the institution of the Gospel And do ye worship the Lord there on his own Day which he hath spiritually made And do ye bear no burthen kindle no fire do no work on that his Day Do ye never warm your selves at any fire or by any sparks of your own kindling Or are ye yet worshipping upon some of the many Mountains and Hills which the Lord hath not formed nor established but have been formed and set up by Man in the Night of Darkness before the everlasting Light of the Day brake forth Q. 6.
