A88858	The tree of faith: or, The tree of life, springing up in the paradise of God; : from which all the wonders of the new Creation, in the virgin church of the first-born of wisdom must proceed. / By J. Lead.	Lead, Jane, 1623-1704.	1696 (1696)	Wing L791; ESTC R179388	42,552	175

cannot but find a more favourable Reception if not from the former yet at least from the latter However let it be as it will at the first it is not at all to be feared but that God will vindicate what is from Him and all the Promises in the Holy Scriptures being given to Faith it cannot but reasonably be expected that he will do Right to one that is such an Eminent Asserter of it in an Age and Day of which it hath been Fore-prophesied that Faith shall hardly be found upon the Earth Whether it be not now high time for God to put to his Hand and to manifest his Sovereign Authority by all such Ways and Means as he hath done of Old through the Operation of his own Faith in all the great and mighty Elders of it and to shew himself in the behalf of Truth and Goodness as an Excellent Person who was never Censured as I know of for an Enthusiast expresseth it which are so every where trampled on and despised and to vindicate his own Honour from all those Affronts and Contumelies which stupid and Disingenuous Men which rebellious Spirits have cast upon it having made Shipwreck of the Faith that was delivered to them deserves well to be considered and weighted by every one The Consideration of which as well as of the genuine Sense of our Blessed Master's Words made this most Judicious Author to conclude all Christians under a necessary and daily Obligation to ask of God that he would be pleased to assert the Supream Authority of his Government amongst Men whether it be by a FARTHER and CLEARER Manifestation of his Will such as was made by our Lord and his Holy Spirit or whether some ACTS of Power be exerted for the Protection and Preservation of his Obedient Subjects c. Dr. Burton Of seeking first the Kingdom of God Published by J. TILLOTSON 1684. p. 402. Whence it is apparent that every true Christian may and ought to Pray both for New Divine Revelation which may be of the same Authority as that by Christ and his Apostles and for Miraculous Acts and Deeds which may be a Declaration of God's Sovereignty and Kingdom Even so let thy Kingdom come O God of the whole Earth let it come even so yea Amen! Thou art King let the Earth rejoice yea let the Great Isles be glad thereof Thine is the Kingdom and thou wilt now take it to thy self let the People be never so Impatient yea let them be never so Vnbelieving JEHOVAH Reigneth let the People tremble He sitteth between the Cherubims let the Earth stagger Great wilt thou be O Lord in Sion and thy Scepter shall be lifted up high above all the Nations The Captives and Prisoners of Faith wilt thou set free and thy Salvation unto them wilt thou openly shew in the sight of the very Infidels Let the Sea of thy Love roar for Joy and the Fulness thereof make a joyful Noise for that the despised Ones who have Believed thee wilt thou bring with triumph into the glorious Ark which thou hast prepared for them With Trumpets and with the Voice of a Psalm wilt thou bring them in they shall clap their Hands aloud they shall praise thy great and awful Name for that thou O Lord art Faithful and True and canst not disappoint any that have Faith in this thy Name Therefore a Fire shall go before thee and thy Messengers shalt thou send forth as Flames of Fire Thou shalt speak unto them as in the Cloudy Pillar and they shall be kept as in the Ark of thy Presence Samuel shall be seen among thy Prophets and Elijah among those that call upon the Lord of Israel Moses and Aaron among thy Priests and great shall be the Company of the Preachers to publish that our God liveth and that our Life which was hidden in him shall be made to Appear with him Out of Philadelphia shall thy Word go forth and in Ramath of the Prophets shall thy Voice be known Vpon Mount Sion shall they stand victoriously they shall follow thee there in thy mighty Deeds and from the Balmy Mountain of Gilead shall the precious Ointment distill For in the Name of their God shall they cast out Devils they shall speak with New Tongues no Weapon formed against them shall be able to prosper they shall take up Serpents they shall drink any deadly thing but nothing shall hurt them they shall lay Hands on the Sick and they shall recover So shall they go forth and Preach every where the Lord working with them and confirming the Word with the Signs that follow Faith Thus hath my Spirit been carried out and constrained to bear this Testimony to the Subject here treated on which is the Resurrection of the Faith of JESUS that has lain for a long time as it were in the Grave and is now to be raised up early in the Third Day of the Holy Ghost For which let us Watch Wait and Pray that we may be of the First Fruits of those that are Risen with him that so we may be admitted into Faith's Flying Ark here Described which will transport us into the New Earth of Wonders delivering us from the Deluge of the Curse that is from Infidelity When the Great Diary of this Author or as much as can be recovered of it shall come to be Published the Several Progresses of this Life of Faith the Various Manuductions for it and whatever else may conduce to its growth will then more evidently appear and all that which opposes the Secret and Hidden Divine Life will be more easily Removed and made to Vanish then till then it can be However to those that have been inisiated into the Mystery of it enough is said and it is not in the least doubted but that they will see what is Delivered both in the Former and in This Treatise to move upon a Real Solid and Substantial Bottom such as all the Powers of Darkness shall be never able to shake or the Gates and strength of Hell to prevail against THE Ark of Faith c. § 1. THere is a Cry that hath gone forth from the Heavens these several Years past for the Preparing and Building of an Ark for the Lord 's redeemed Ones and I am at this time as the Natural Term of my Years seems to be expir'd in order hereto again reminded of some former Prophecies that were altogether by me forgotten But the Spirit of Wisdom hath now presented them afresh to me as telling me they were in this Day to be looked into for Faith to be thence revived and Prayer envigorated that so the Heavenly Powers and Constellations co-operating therewithal they might bring down the Golden Floods of Love to cover the Earth that may bring up what hath lain under the Death that is to say a Resurrection Body of pure Spirits in a new springing Paradise which is the New Earth so much Prophesied of upon which Righteousness must dwell § 2. For

warring against the Law of Faith and next to this is the Law of Righteousness which the Apostle mentions And which must also give place unto the Law of Faith All Righteous Works must be excluded for only the Righteousness of Faith must here stand Now if we look in and examine how it hath been with us we shall find we have been in bondage to both these Laws which have carried it very severely towards us So that before Faith came to be revealed in what a dark imprisoned Life were we kept There was no Comfort nor Satisfaction in all strict Observation of the Law of Righteousness no more then in the Law of Sin and Carnal Sense so that it is time for us to look out for another Law which may redeem us out of both these which is this revealed Law of Faith Which will become a New Birth-Nature as is mentioned in the 26th Verse becoming all the Children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus and so Born from the Virgin-Womb of the Jerusalem-Mother § 34. So that you may plainly understand the drift of God our Father is to bring us up in the Faith from the very Day of our being born into it so that we as little Children must learn the Rules of Faith like as in the first and natural Birth we were brought up habitually and inherently in the rational corrupt sensibility and indeed were bound by that Birth and under the Laws also of righteous Rationality and sober Sensuality Which although good in its kind and to be obeyed and subjected to till such time as the Royal Birth of Faith comes to be Born then is to be sounded the Jubilee Hour the Hour and Day of our Release is come then no longer are we under those Laws which was the manifestation of bondage curse sorrow heaviness to Death From this first Husband we are by the Law of Faith set free that so we may gradually come up to that Vnity of the Faith as to come to be in great solemnity married to him who is the full Body Life and Resurrection of this Faith so that by this divine Matrimonial Continuity fruitful Births of Faith may be that may bear the Name of God's Angelical Hosts For none else can ever be capable to do the great Works and Wonders which are to be manifested in him while under the covert of a Mortal form but such as have the Live Coal of Faith conceived in their Hearts and put into their Hands whereby they may go forth to tincture and to touch and leaven from the Vertue of the central Marriage-Union which may bring forth the flaming or blown-up-Coal of the Holy Ghost which always the Birth of Faith doth precede as a Forerunner By which all Miracles may then most easily be wrought which must the last redeeming part of Mankind clear up and finish For all Dominions and Powers in the Worlds of Death Darkness Wars and Strife shall and must evidently by the Holy Ghost in Faith's Power and Might be put under and to flight Even so let it be in Faith's Spirit pray we § 35. Waiting further in Spirit upon this High Matter the Oracle of Witness again open'd in me after Three Days and it said Go forward do not slack to promote and to draw forth for an United Body in the Faith together to stand For hereunto are ye called to Accord and Believe in the One only Saving Name JESUS and such as with thee so shall avouch the Everlasting God their God only to be the Blessings of Faith upon their Heads shall flow Then hold forth do ye mutually a clear Testimony hereof by giving up your selves in way of Pure Seperation as in a Silent Wilderness there to attend for what is yet to come from the Seven Fountain Throne Spirits Which way being to light such Precious and Unutterable Things as have been kept from all vulgar sight Therefore I say in Faith's Tent together abide and to no other Business your Minds apply that so a Praise ye may be to Elohim Great who will assuredly own and stand by you in the Work he hath appointed you to which followed is to be close and uninterruptedly O therefore Courage take my Called and Anointed Ones that hereby raise up ye may that Glory which under a Cloud of Apostacy hath lain and withal count it all Joy that ye who thus agreed are together to see and obtain that high Love-Prize which others have negligently lost and which a warning may be to hold out and to Conquer the Temptations of a Mortal State § 36. As this Word came in the Figure of a Crown was lifted up upon the end of a Scepter which cast from it a Glance of Transparency of Glory And then the Word came anew and said Behold and see this shall be the Reward of Unwearied Waiters in the Faith who for a Kingdom are seeking and deserting all Visibles Such as these who seek out and wait Believingly and who through this Belief are made to forsake all shall come infallibly to inherit and postess the Scepter and the Crown with CHRIST their Head Prince of Righteousness Wherefore gird up ye who are Lovers of and Waiters for the Lamb 's victorious Day to be revealed in you that so glorious Representatives in his Life ye may come to be in the Kingdom of Conquest and Victory The which holding out to shall and will endear you to the Heart of your God and Father actually who hath waited for to see who so Valiant could be as to break through every Cloud of Temptation and in no wise be prevented of the great Felicity which by this Victory of Faith is to be § 37. Then was I for some time afterward followed still with this Word saying Fear not but go on to perform what hath been in the Platform presen●●● to thy Mind For the Heart of thy God will strengthen and cojoin such with thee as of a Gideon-Might and Spirit approved are in Valiantness for that which undertaken is now to be Thus having been encouraged to stand up unmoveably in that Faith which is of Divine Operation and not to be afraid in the least or wavering in the Belief of the Promises which have been given of Old Times and which have powerfully been renewed to me I have been made to hasten from one Degree of Faith to another and to shoot continually Arrow after that so at last I might obtain the Prize by aiming at the Unity of it in hitting the Point which for these many Years I have been Aiming at § 38. Thus having r●●●ved Line upon Line and Prophecy upon Prophecy for my Eucouragement I was still upon the most inward Debate with the Lord Christ or rather with his Agent the Spirit why the Word of Revelation and Wisdom in the Prophetical Sense opened should not be attended with Miraculous working Powers For indeed that is the great Thing that the Mystery of Faith moves hard for namely to bring the Eternal
