Faith of the Substance CHRIST the living hope in you which clenseth the Soul from Sin and washeth the Heart from Iniquity Wait in the Silence for the Revelation of the LORD from Heaven who unto us is come that in you also he may be known and witnessed and testified to be come according to the Promise the second time without sin unto Salvation Wait for his Appearance in the Clouds to come breaking thorow the thickness of the blackness of the long night to come down in the Earth as a burning fire and to darken the Air with the smoak to set the Heavens in fire and to melt the Earth before him that you may come to know the Wonders of GOD fulfilled the Sun to be darkned and to become black as sackcloath of hair the Moon turned into blood and the Stars to fall from Heaven in the same substance to see and know these things come to passe and with the same eye by which the Glories of the Heavens were created and saw that it was good I say with the same Spirit and Life which spake

when these things you know and witness fulfilled within you even as they are known and testified in the Life of GOD's Heritage you shall bear me Testimony in the Holy Ghost That although the Judgement be weighty the Ax burthensom and the flaming Sword of the LORD a most grievous thing all the burden the weight the grief and the travel is but of the carnal and sinful part And to it only is the irkesomness thereof until it be utterly cut off and slain upon the Crosse even of that part which is this day the cause of the cry of the Just in the Land and then you shall be one with the Judgement

this World and you coming hither will enter into the way of the Wisdom and Counsel of the Most High to see all things purposes Statutes and Judgments by that of GOD ordered and brought forth in the Wisdom and Counsel of GOD and your own cast under foot as a corruptible thing for ever Then the whole Creation of GOD which travelleth in pain until the Redemption cometh will joy in the approach of Wisdom for then shal you use the Creatures singly to the proper end in the same Wisdom by the which they were created The burning desire of Lust shall dye and the evil appetite be taken away Increase
