to the Supper of the Lord Jesus Christ wherein we perceived in what manner the Supper of our Lord Jesus Christ is g uprightly kept And how that all those who rightly keep that same Supper with the Lord Jesus Christ enter with Christ h out of the death into the good life and totally delivered or freed from all the enemies of the life and from all their temptations 30 Now when we observed all this obteined an intire desire of heart to the same Supper we then for * to keep uprightly the same Supper according to his requiring submitted our selves to a good * safeguard namely to the Body and to the Bloud of Jesus Christ and having assembled us to the same Body and Bloud of Jesus Christ we committed our selves wholy to the Body of Jesus Christ and his requiring and to the Bloud of Jesus Christ and his requiring 31 And thus were kindly * received of the Body and of the Bloud of Jesus Christ and were also on the same day earnestly invited to the Supper of the Lord Jesus Christ that in us with us and through us also with the Lord Jesus Christ i all righteousness should be accomplished and established whereto God the Father hath chosen and loved Mankind 32 Now for to * keep or celebrate rightly that same supper of the Lord Jesus Christ to which we were invited by the Grace of the Lord and his commiserating Love we endevored us earnestly for the same and joyned our selves humbly as * invited ones to the Table of the Lord where at first were uttered forth great praise and thanks to the Lord * 33 Now when all this was done then the k good food of the same Supper was administred to us And then to it the most precious cup with the costly pure drink of the same Supper 34 And so we did eat of the most worthy good food and did drink out of the excellent cup of the precious pure drink of the same Supper of the Lord 35 And moreover also when we had fed upon this good food and pure drink of the same Supper there was made known unto us in the understanding that all must so be l accomplished and fulfilled in Jesus Christ with the manhood which was fore-appointed and written of Christ and of the salvation of the * manly Generation 36 But this good food which was administred unto us in the same Supper was m the Body of Jesus Christ and the good drink was the Bloud of Jesus Christ And that same Body and bloud of Jesus Christ was the good meat and pure drink of which we did joyntly eat and drink and the Cup out of which wee drunk the precious pure drink was the n Suffering or Passion of Jesus Christ 37 Now when we in the Supper of the Lord had fed upon the body and bloud of Jesus and had received or drawn it in to our Body and bloud and we having submitted us wholy to it to the will and requiring of the same Body and bloud of Jesus Christ as unto a good * conserver And thus being come with our body and bloud one o body and bloud with the body and bloud of Jesus Christ so rested we with the same body and bloud of the Lord Jesus Christ on the sixth seventh day 38 The first day to it next the sixth seventh day we travelled as of one being with the body and bloud of Jesus Christ forward on our way rested us not in all the seven six dayes of our journey to do our labour diligence for to live and walk with the body and bloud of our Lord Jesus Christ with which we were one body and bloud in p all upright righteousness and holiness of our Lord Jesus Christ and to conquer with him and his armour of righteousness all enemies of the godly being of Jesus Christ and to q reign and to triumph with him eternally in the everlasting life and kingdom of his heavenly Father 39 For at that time when we had fed on the body and bloud of Jesus Christ and were with our body and bloud become oâ—e body and bloud with the body and bloud of Jesus Christ and with him as a Wife with a Husband become one flesh and r bone of his flesh and bone and endevored us with all diligence to go forth with him in all upright righteousness and holiness to his true being according to the Spirit then we observed how that all enemies of the Godly life and all those who were turned away from the obedience of the requiring of our service of Love rose up very resistingly 40 For all those who were turned to themselves and their opinion and imagination of the knowledge became our enemies together with the enemies of the Godly Life and upright being of Jesus Christ all did resist or strive every one with his particular power and malice against the body bloud of Jesus Christ and against us Namely the worldly hearts with their worldly pride or lusts s of the flesh lust of the eyes and haughtiness of life The false hearts of the Letter-learned with their scribling knowledge * The hypocrites with t their self made holiness and counterfeit ceremonial God-service The self Seekers with their profit-seeking and * greediness The self-conceited together with the Apostates from the obedience of the doctrine of the service of Love with their opinion of the humane Self-conceitedness and with the fals freedom of impenitent unregenerate men The lascivious sinners and sinneresses with their ungodly and unchast life The envious and slanderers with their persecuting and speaking lyes and all spiteful and wicked doers with their malice and falshood c. 41 All these and such like with their consorts adherents or companions used all their subtilty totally to destroy and from the sight of their eyes to put away or root out from the earth the holy Body pure bloud or life of Jesus Christ and his good or upright being and so then to live free by themselves in the separateness from the obedience of the doctrine of H. N. and the service of the love of Jesus Christ 22 For the eyes of the wicked hearts can by no means endure u the Goodness nor the true doctrine of the love of Jesus Christ nor also the obedience to the entrance of his upright being as * to cast a good lookon it or to think well on it but to make the worst construction of it and to despise and to destroy his Body and bloud 43 Yea they say one to another he boasteth himself too highly and giveth himself out that he is of one being with God and u is the Son of God and the heir of Gods spirituall and heavenly treasures and that there belongeth not to us though we yet know how to talk of it to have any * share in
the inheritance of the Lord Let us accuse Him x that is his body and bloud or his Fellowship of Love with all manner of malignity or unjust actions and let us charge him with most wicked things let us destroy or kill him with the most shamefullest sufferings or let him be delivered up to the Iudge to his * slaughter or destruction So remain y we in the Inheritance in the estimation among men that we are pure upright and have right in our cause or demands against him his Communialty of Love 44 Thus we observed in the union with the Body and bloud of Jesus Christ that the wicked hardened hearts against us the Body bloud of Jesus Christ likewise the apostates from the obedience of the Truth did all their endeavour or diligence to have the estimation amongst z men as if they against that Body and bloud of Jesus Christ and against us were * upright and did well therein although they earnestly endevoured wholy to dishonour Jesus Christ and us and to make us detestable before men and likewise that precious pure bloud of Jesus Christ that was to the forgiveness of sinnes d shead for many wherewith we with our bloud are become one bloud to defame as impure before all men so that the same is * despised for unclean among many And as unclean might be poured forth and trampled upon 45 Now when we thus observed the rising up of the wicked and all Hypocrites and enemies of the Godly Life against the Body and bloud of Jesus Christ And beheld that the Body bloud of Jesus Christ wherewith we were become one body and bloud was suffering all that with lowly and meek hearts without resisting so we saw and observed that the same Body and bloud of Jesus Christ in all his suffering and reproach opened a not his mouth even as a Lambe that is led to the slaughter-house and as a sheep that is dumbe before his shearer Where through we also in all our sufferings wherewith we were one Body and bloud with him were wholy moved with his sufferings So that we also in our whole Body and bloud obteined an inclination to suffer with them we found our selves wholy prepared rather to suffer to die with him forasmuch as we knew him righteous then to live in sin with the falshood of the false hearts with the sin of sinners and enemies of the Godly life 46 And thus travelling forth in this-Good-willingness with Jesus Christ b we came on the seventh sixth day to the * accomplishing of the sufferings of Jesus Christ wherein we observed the whole summe of the finishing and fulfilling or satisfaction of Jesus Christ and his Believers unto the true Godliness 47 For in this fulfilling or or accomplishing we perceived in the understanding That all men who will live and reign with the Lord Jesus Christ in his Glory must also c suffer with Christ and then likewise with Christ enter into the Glory of Christ and inherit the same 48 Furthermore wee observed also in this accomplishment to what end this Gospel of the Kingdom is d published in all the World and from thence cometh the accomplishment and fulfilling of e all that is written of Christ and the salvation of man 49 There was also in the same * accomplishment fully revealed and in clearness made manifest * unto us The whole Scripture which testifieth of Christ and of his Sufferings or Passeover and of the upright righteousness of men in Jesus Christ And f how that Christ like as we have heard and seen of him in his sufferings and passed through with him must suffer all these things and so to enter into his Glory and thus g go before all sinful men in to the entrance of the eternal life and the Kingdom of Heavens that they also should follow after him therein and inherit with him the eternal life 50 For Christ h must thus * suffer and accomplish his love to us and so go before us as an * Innocent and that he also by his guiltless sufferings should be an example or patern to all sinful men and thereby to shew unto them that they by reason of their sins are debtors to the same sufferings and as debtors to i follow him therein and to draw unto him all men who are loaden with sins and also to acquit them though his Body and bloud and through his like sufferings from their sins to deliver k them from the bonds of death and to save them and restore or bring them again with him in all upright righteousness and holiness to their God his heavenly Father and to his glory in the kingdom of God and in the everlasting life 51 And that wee might uprightly endeavour us to this aforesaid accomplishment with the Lord Jesus Christ and the * humanity and rightly enter into and inherit the same with the Lord Jesus Christ according to the truth of Jesus Christ and according to the requiring of the obedience of his belief So gave wee up our selves there on the same seventh sixth day of our travelling into a good * custody with the Body and bloud of Jesus Christ which standeth upon the Mount Nebo l on the uppermost height top or firmness from whence we obtein'd the sight of the holy inheritance of God of his living ones 52 And on the same Mount * Nebo there was revealed and made known unto us also m the secret place where the Prophet Jeremian had hid the true Tabernacle and Ark and the true Altar of the Offerings of Incense And the time also was come or accomplished in which the Lord should be merciful unto his people and bring them to his rest 53 And the same good * watchfunless to which we betook our selves on the Mount Nebo was the true n implanting with Christ in his like death and the right implanting with Christ in his like burial 54 Of this implanting with Christ in his like death and of the implanting with Christ in his like burial wee were very firmly embraced 55 At the same instant in the embracing of the implanting with Christ in his like death and burial we offered to the God of Heaven on his Altar of Incense in the Holy of the true Tabernacle our free willing Offering in the Offering * of the High Priest Jesus Christ And o the Offering of the High Priest Jesus Christ kindled or fired our Offering And thus our Offering was a hollowed burnt Offering before the Lord And the Lord Jesus Christ made this our Offering through his Offering acceptable before God his Father and the holy of his Tabernacle was full of sweet perfumes and the p veile opened asunder and the most holiest in his pure and perfect beauty was revealed and Christ also according to

Acts 13. b. THE PREFACE Tobias with H. N. a fellow Minister of the gracious Word of the Lord wisheth to all lovers of Truth Salvation and Peace in Jesus Christ our Lord Amen FOrasmuch as I Tobias a fellow Elder with the Oldest Elders in the Houshold of Love have alwayes been present with H. N. in all what the Lord hath revealed unto him and now in this day of the Love of Iesus Christ am impulsed of the Holy Ghost to declare and to publish among the children of men under the obedience of the love of the Truth of certain wonderful works of God which befell H. N. and us the oldest Elders in the house of Love and that I also know that H. N. Gods chosen Minister and his ministration of the gracious Word of the Lord hath been disorderly rejected and censured with several false judgements by many false hearts and good-thinking wise-ones by many false Christians and unsent Teachers or Preachers and by some unfaithfull and opinionated self-seekers who are turned away from us And that the Godly Testimonies of the holy Spirit of the Love of Iesus Christ published by H. N. were by many disgracefully contemned and reproached as if God had neither chosen nor sent H. N. to be a Minister of his holy and gracious Word and as if the holy Spirit of the Love of Iesus Christ were an unclean thing So have I for Gods cause and in regard of the Love which I bear and have to all mens salvation I could not omit to declare to all God-fearing-understandings and Lovers of the Truth That they may believe the Truth understand the Godly Testimonies of the holy Spirit of Love and may be preserved in these dangerous times and to witnesse the Truth before them how and in what manner the Lord the living God of Heaven hath chosen H. N. from his youth to the ministration of his holy and gracious word and hath sent him thereunto in his old age of the holy and godly understanding through the holy Spirit of his Love 2 For the holy Spirit of the Truth of God and of the Love of Iesus Christ was alwayes powerfully abiding upon H. N. in all his ministrations after that the Lord had anointed him a with the same spirit and hath through the same spirit raised and sent him for to declare to all people the true b repentance for their sinnes and to draw and bring in through his ministration of the holy and gracious Word all those that love Gods Truth and the accomplishment of the Godlinesse in Iesus Christ and hunger and thirst after righteousnesse c to the peaceable Love and his Godly service for the preservation of them all in the Godlinesse that all they which H. N. and our fellowship may have their communion in Iesus Christ and may not be seduced in these dangerous times in which if it were possible the very elect d should be seduced with the unprofitable prating of the false hearts and unsent Teachers or Preachers which alwayes oppose the Truth of God e and blaspheme against the holy Spirit nor through any depraved hearts and Apostates who continually accuse with falshood the true Ministers of the gracious word and endeavour with all their power to abolish the same ministration nor should be kept of or held back from our most holy Service of the gracious word under the obedience of the Love to their condemnation 3 And therefore and for the Truth of Gods cause and for to declare the knowledge that the Promises of God the Father and of the Lord Iesus Christ g be fullfilled and established in the Love So is there also now presently in this same day of the Love in plain words to all understanding and before all good-willing hearts unto the righteousnesse through H. N. testified and published what that very thing which the Gracious Word of the Lord which the Lord now hath raised up according to his Promises doth require of all men 4 And for to witness and publish the truth that the Lord hath chosen and sent H. N. therefore have I through the holy Spirit of the Love of Iesus Christ plainly testified and declared the sending of H. N. also certaine wonderfull workes of God which from his youth hapned unto him from the living God That all those which read or hear all the Godly Testimonies of our writings may believe the Truth with a single heart to have a right regard to the true Promises of the Father and of the Sonne our Lord Iesus Christ and of the accomplishing of the same and may hope upon the fulfilling of the requiring of the gracious word and of his service of Love and rightly and in Truth follow and imitate our Lord Iesus Christ in the saving word of his holy Spirit of Love h and might be of one mind with us and our communialtie of the Saints i in the Love of our Lord Iesus k into all unity and peace 5 And likewise that through the same declaration the enemies of H. N. together with all the opposers and reprochers of the Truth and of the holy Spirit of the Love of Iesus Christ may see and know That they have villified and contemned not onely H. N. a choseu servannt of God but also God the Father the builder of our house of Love and the Lord Iesus Christ our Phisician and Saviour and the holy Ghost the inheritance of our spiritual and heavenly goods l and have pulled upon their own necks the wrath and judgement of their condemnation That they with humble hearts might bring forth real fruits of repentance 6 For it is not unknown or uncertaine to us that H. N. doth testifie out of the Truth of God and his gracious word and that the office of the ministration of the gracious Word is imposed and intrusted to him through m God's grace to administer for the Lord
hath chosen him thereunto from his youth to witness the same Testimonies of the Truth of God And to administer Gods holy and gracious word and to manifest his heavenly works and to declare upon the earth now in these last times under the obedience of the love of Iesus Christ Gods Truth and upright being and the acomplishment of the Godlinesse in Iesus Christ 7 Thus in this election by the living God H. N. hath declared on earth to this present day from the n uncovered face of God and of Christ Gods real Truth and the requiring of his upright righteousnesse together with his righteous Judgement and the fulfilling of the Godlinesse in Iesus Christ 8 Now whether this be believed or not believed however he hath revealed the the same out of Gods true light eternal life in manifest declaration brought it to light in this holy day of the love of God and Christ 9 And the same day of the love of God and of Christ which is come unto us from Gods grace is the newest or last day of which long agoe the Prophets of God and the Evangelists of Iesus Christ have foretold and published and is the day o which God hath appointed or ordained for to judge on the same the whole circuit of the Earth with righâ—eousnesse 10 For on the same day of the Love of God and of Christ p shall all unbelievers and disobedient ones to the gracious Word of the Lord and all evil surmisers towards the Ministers thereof together with all opposers of H. N. and blasphemers of the holy Spirit of the Love of Iesus Christ be q revealed and r judged and according to their works shall receive their reward 11 Therefore take warning by this declaration of mine all ye people which love the truth of Iesus Christ that you in no wise oppose neither the gracious Word of God nor his chosen servant H. N. because God the Father with his Son Iesus Christ dwelleth and liveth perfectly * in H. N. in the heavenly being and hath anointed him with the holy Spirit of God and of s Iesus Christ and that no man without the fellowship of H. N. or without the obedience of the requiring of his doctrine can be brought or gathered to the true living God nor to his Sonne Iesus Christ nor united with the same good being 12 Behold out of a very hearty love which I have to all your preservations in the godlinesse am I presently in this day of the Love impulsed and forced through the holy Spirit of the love of Iesus Christ to make the same known before all your understandings and to declare unto you how the calling H. N. came to passe by the living God and how he was chosen of the same God to Administration of his holy and and gracious word under the obedience of the love of Iesus Christ 13 And also to testifie unto you some mysteries t of the Kingdome of the God of heavens and of the heavenly revelations and workings of God which were revealed and shewed to H. N. by the living God out of his heavenly being even from the youth of H. N. 14 The Lord grant unto you all mercy and his Graee that in the hearing of these Testimonies your hearts may not be offended nor be hardened against the Truth u of the same Testimonies but that yee may hear them humbly receive and accept of them in all thanksgiving to God for his grace be well minded to the holy and gracious word of the Lord and his service of the Love to your preservation in the Godlinesse and may enter into the requiring of the same obediently Amen So be it Take it to heart Certaine wonderfull Workes of God which befel H N. from his youth CHAP. I. IN the eighth year of the age of H. N. in the days of Maximilian the first being made Roman Emperour by vertue or power of the Electoral Princes of the Roman Empire and the German Nation it fell out on an Evening in a Winter season That the Father of H. N. exhorted his Family and instructing them with many words That they should fear God a and to give praise and thanks unto him for the grace he bestowed on man 2 The same time The Lord opened the mouth of the childe H. N. and touched his lips and tongue and with this the childe spake to his Father and said Instruct me O my Father what is that singular Grace bestowed on us for which we ought to give praise and thanks to God 3 When the child had asked this questiof his Father The Father looked on the child and wondered that the child should aske him so earnestly and answearing the child said to him 4 O my sonne doest thou aske what that especial grace is which God hath bestowed on us and for which we are bound to give praise and thanks to him The same you read daily in the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ and is set forth unto us dayly in the service of the Masse and often also and abundantly is attested by Preaching how that God the Father by reason of Adams sinne whereby we all became the children b of death and damnation caused his deare Sonne Jesus Christ to suffer the ignominious c death on the Crosse and that thus Jesus Christ hath born the sins of Adam satisfied for the same on the Crosse and delivered us from that sinne into which Adam did fall hath reconciled us to his Father d and hath set up again the sincere righteoness and the true e life of Godliness and so all is found and restored againe that was lost by Adam that same is joyned again f made whole which through Adam was broken and wounded And this is that singular Grace which God bestowed on us to the laud and praise of his great Power 5 Then said the child O my Father I doe read indeed of the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ and I heare it daily testified in Sermons that God the Father hath bestowed on us his great mercy and that his beloved Sonne Jesus Christ hath suffered the ignominious death of the Crosse by reason of sinne g but I finde not according to Truth that the sinne is amended in us nor that the true righteousness h wherein Adam was created and placed is restored in us or set up again 6 Then said the Father Oh my sonne what I have told you about the grace of God shewed to us through Jesus Christ you need not to doubt of it beleeve the same in simpleness of heart and that it all is come to passe as I have told you 7 Then said the child O my Father I make no question of the mercy of God which is come unto us through Jesus Christ and all that which is preached to us of Christ and his satisfaction for the sinne as that he through the death on the Crosse
and transgression of Adam this is I hope no doubt of Christ satisfaction but I may iustly doubt of our satisfaction for I conceive in my understandings that we are still indebted to God concerning our satisfaction in Jesus Christ 8 Then said the Confessor O my sonne thou runnest out too far with thy young understanding for after that thou mayest not search so deepe nor no man else but simply beleeve all that concerneth Christ and our salvation 9 Then said the child well Sir I will simply beleeve all as you say yet must I aske somthing of thee out of my simplicicy desire for the love of Jesus Christ that thou wouldest answer to my simple question 10 Then said the Confessor well my sonne aske and I will answer thee 11 Then said the child if Adam had lived simply according to the commandments of God and had not falne off from God had not transgressed the command of God should then he and we have lived in the sinne or in the righteousnes 12 The Confessor said Adam and we all should have lived eternally in the righteousness and no sin nor e death should have reigned over us 13 Furthermore the child asked and said when God created Heaven and Earth and all that is therein f and the man also whom he made after his owne Image did not God then make all things good and perfect and came it not to passe as he would have it 14 The Confessor said O yea my son g what ever God hath made he made it well and good and all what God said and h commanded to be it stood there present and all things had their progresse * towards perfection according as God would have it and even so the man in his upright being 15 Then said the child Seeing the man was created from the begining good and upright and i to live eternally in Gods upright righteousnesse and that he remained not steadfast therein And that God for to reduce the man to his right estate againe hath given up his beloved Son Jesus Christ to the death of the Crosse k and so through the death of the Crosse of Jesus Christ to re-establish l the man and all that was fallen in his right state and condition Therefore all must then be m restored to the same in his right form through Jesus Christ and his death of the Crosse even as it was from the begining the transgression of Adam must be mended and we must be n justified or cleansed from the sinne and must be o borne again unto the Image of God 16 Behold Sir in my understanding I conceive it soe and that we ought to take heed to this mercy of God p and to follow our Lord Jesus Christ in his q death of the Crosse and to be wholy incorporated into him with his r like death where through in us also the s sinne of Adam and our sinne becomes amended and blotted out in us from the death of sinne her t power and dominion taken away and the upright righteousnesse simplicity and the eternal life to which Adam was created u and set and was ordained to live therein eternally be raised up again 17 Now if all as you say should be fulfilled or satisfied then as I conceive nothing should be wanting in Gods work nor in mans upright life and obedience to God and all things must be restored to his right forme And seeing there is yet defect therein thereupon I aske where doth the fault lie in God or in us that the worke of God and his will is not performed in all on us and in us and that not the righteousnesse and the good life of Jesus Christ but the sinne and the death reigneth and hath dominion over us for me thinks that the right ground of this whereof we now speakâ— is not yet by many entred into nor rightly understood and that the most necessary part of our Godlinesse in Jesus Christ and the x obedience which God requireth of us through his Son Jesus Christ is still to be performed by us and in us CHAP. III. WHen the Confessor had heard all these words from the young child he could answer nothing to it but said to his fellow brother that was present and had heard all the speech of the child I know not what I shall say of the child and his sayings I know not whether it be childishnesse or Godly understanding it speaketh of 2 Then said his fellow brother surely thou art bereaved of thy wit doest thou not perceive that it is foolery and childishnesse the boy speaketh and I wonder also very much why thou exchangest so many words about it for if men of judgment were present they would say that you were more childish then the boy himselfe because thou hearest and answerest him in all his foolish words whereas they are meerly unprofitable things after which he diggeth and searcheth and should with these matters if he be let alone bring himselfe into weaknesse of minde Therefore it is most needfull that he be punished for these things and make him to forget them This he spake that the Father and the childe should heare and spake it so loud to that end that neither the Father nor the childe should observe that they were not able to answer to the childs questions or informe him therein and so these two fellow brethren tooke the childe between them and in the presence of his Father rebuked the childe with many hard words and among the rest the Confessor said to the childe do'st thou know what evill thou hast committed that thou troublest thy selfe with the matters of the mysteries of God the child said no Sir 4 Then said the Confessor O my son thou hast nigh committed the greatest sin that man can do on Earth for thou hast with thy thoughts digged and searched and troubled thy selfe which is not permitted to any man upon the a Earth let him be never so judicious to know the secrets of God I scarce know whether this sin may be forgiven to thee or whether thou shalt for this go to hell and he made the child quite astonished so that he spake no more of the same nor asked after any more instruction but fell on weeping and said Oh that I and all men might be saved Then said the Confessor 5 O my sonne seeing thou art now sory for thy sinne I promise salvation unto thee and that thy sins are forgiven 6 Then said the child I thank you Sir and will commit the cause to God let it come to passe according to his will And so his Father thanked the Minory brethren for that they had well taught and instructed his sonne and so departed from each other and the Minory brethren went their way and thought no more on this businesse or gave little respect unto it 7 But child was not appeased with the sayings of
the Minory brethren nor satisfied in his understanding but went up and down with a sad heart and seeing could not forget the things he had spake off So kept he all the same within himself and imparted the businesse no more to any man till he came to the day of his manly oldnesse with the gray haire and was stil more and more an earnest lover of Service and Ceremonies of the Roman Catholique Church and the requiring of it and being alone busied himselfe dayly with divine matters and with the fulfiling of the Godlinesse in Jesu Christ CHAP. IV. IN the ninth yeare of the age of H. N. in the days of the Emperour Maxmilian the first there was revealed to H. N. after midnight near upon day breaking by Gods grace a great wonderous work of God and wonderful vision of a heavenly mystery out of the heavenly being for he was compassed about with a mighty a great being of the glory of God and the same was ad a very great Mountain of glorious Beauty And when he was surrounded by this huge great Mountain and was throughly illuminated in all his being with the glory thereof then this great Mountaine wholly united it selfe with him in his whole spirit and mind so that his spirit and mind with the same great and glorious Mountaine became so great and broad that he became also of an equal greatness and like being with the same in altitude latitude and profundity 3 With which revelation and wondrous work of God it was declared to H. N. That the same and the uniformity thereof b within the man is the true accomplishment of the Godlinesse in Jesus Christ and the righteous c Iudgement of God or the great day d of the Lord which for righteousnesse is promised to come upon the Earth 4 And as then that great Uision and wonderfull Revelation of God vanished wholly from his eyes and sight so found he himselfe awakened lying on his bed and was very much troubled and wearied in all his being and mind and in respect of that wearinesse he had a mind to sleep 5 And whilst H. N. lay thus on his bed near the breaking of the day he fell into a slumber 6 And being fallen asleep there were then revealed unto him in his sleep wonderfull things which should befall him and the Saints of God for at that time understood he it not so well as he did when the same befell him 7 In this sleep he saw in a Uision That many Saints of God were with him on the Earth and that the same Saints of God and he joyntly rejoyced much with one another in the Godliness of our Lord Jesus Christ And that he loved all men highly to the same Godliness and called and invited them all thereto that they with him should rejoyce in the same and that he also out of great Love shewed to manifold men great friendship and many kindnesses for that he might likewise rejoyce in the same Godliness with men like as with the Saints of God And that he held forth unto them with all pleasantnesse aâ—d discreetnesse and lovely speech the transcendant worthy nobleness of man and the most peaceable life of Godlinesse to which e God hath created man and chosen him thereto through Jesus Christ 8 And he saw also in this Uision that many men which did not accept or take to heart the friendship and love which he shewed unto them thereby to bring them to a peaceable life of Godlinesse and did not repeut were withered and changed into dry and exâ—cicated trees f and that many of these Trees were wholly eaten hollow by knawing wormes and inwardly were mouldred g away to dnst and consumed away to nothing and â—hat there was not left the least h monument or being of greennesse or blooming 9 He saw also in the same Uision that many good thinking men did oppose him and that the same and sâ—ch as were offended at him and at all that love and goodness which he shewed unto men and for which they mightily envyed and reproached him and hardned their hearts against his sayings and the Grace and Mercy which he offered unto them were changed into several terrible hurtful and tearing wolves or devouring beasts and they were inclined to bite and to i teare and wholly to devoure him and the Saints of God and that they joyntly together with great bitternesse and and hardnesse of heart exceedingly bellowed and foamed against him and the Saints of God and with clamour and extream horrible noise came on against him and railed and raged very terribly against him and the Saints of God for to destroy and consume them 10 In which horrible and terrible out cryings and fury of these horrible beasts awakned H. N. out of his sleep through great feare that they should teare and destroy him and all the Saints of God that were on earth with him and at his awaking he cryed out aloud Oh how long shall these yet judge * over my soul 11 When he thus cryed out and awakened from his sleep he found himself much disquieted and perplexed at his Uision 12 His Father and Mother being affrighted at the noise of his out-crying ran hastily to him to his bed and said God blesse thee my Sonne what ayleth thee what is is come on thee my dear what is hapned to thee that thou thus cryedst out Oh how long shall these yet judge * over my soul 13 But H. N. out of a heavy mind did sigh and said I ayle nothing but I am somewhat sorrowfull and a little weaknesse is upon me And he remained in all silence and stilnesse and related nothing of all what had hapned unto him however by the commotioâ— in his Uision he found himselfe not well in his body and was made very weake and feeble in all his joynts from that commotion 14 When he was recovered in his joynts and got his health againe yet would he say nothing of any thing that befell him in his Uision and spake not at all of that heavenly Revelation which awakened him on his bed nor of the Uision that appeared to him in his sleep but kept all this in his heart CHAP. V. IN the nine and thirtieth year of the age of H. N. in the dayes of Charles the fifth being made Roman Emperour by vertue or power of the Electoral Princes of the Roman Empire and the German Nation there was revealed to H. N. from the high heavens a mighty revelation of the living Godhead and by the same was shewed and manifested unto him the upright Truth and Righteousnesse of God together with the faithfull love of his dear Sonne Jesus Christ 2 Which heavenly manifestation of the living Godhead together with all that was shewed unto him descended to H. N. and wholly comprehended him to it selfe 3 And the same God of heaven excited and revealed in H. N. his holy and gracious word even
as he of old had promised to a raise up the same through his holy Prophets and with the same word and out of the same word the Lord b poured upon H. N. his holy Spirit of the of the Love of Jesus Christ 4 With this heavenly glory and out-flowing of the same holy Spirit of the true Love of Jesus Christ upon H. N. the Lord chose him to be a Minister of his holy and gracious word which He the Lord had excited and revealed in him 5 And the Lord prepared or ordained to H. N. for his assistance in the same ministration Daniel Elidad Tobias which continued allwayes with him and assisted him in all his ministration of the the gracious word of the Lord 6 And at that time also through the power of God and impulse of the holy Spirit of the Love of Jesus Christ H. N. was driven in his whole spirit mind for to administer on t of the holy and gracious word and holy spirit of the Love of Jesus Christ the most holy Office of the Love according to the command of God and to attest and set down in writing the godly truth of God and of Christ and the c upright way of the through-going or Passe-over which reacheth to the npright righteousnesse and to the eternalllife and to publish and express writingly in letters before all eyes of understanding 7 H. N. being thus chosen of the God of life to the ministration of his gracious word and was impulsed by the holy spirit of the Love of Jesus Christ to set * forth the manefestatton of the Truth of God and of the Godlinesse of Jesus Christ and let the Sonnes of men to know their errours that they repenting of their sins d may turn from their errour and sincerely endeavour to keep the truth of God and the godliness of Jesus Christ So he gave himself obediently at that time to that service and work of the Lord and carefully endeavoured to set down all that the Lord revealed and commanded him and that should be most profitable and necessary for the Sonnes of men to their Salvation and Peace and to the entrance of the upright life 8 But in his beginning of the same service and writings the word of the Lord came to him and said H. N. stay thy hand from writing in this place and get thee up and travel out of this land wherein now thou livest that thy soul may be preserved alive in my service and worke and be not devoured by bloud-thirsty men and in thy going out from this land take thy journey Eastward and dwell there till I my selfe by the hand of my Angel bring thee from thence 9 For whilest thou livest there thou shalt apply thy selfe for the most part to be in the land Pietas that thou mayest be diligent there rightly and according to the truth to manifest my honour and Love and to reveal the same to those who are worthy of love 10 For there in the manifesting of mine honour and Love thou shalt testifie and figure forth in writing the godly and heavenly things which I do reveal and make known unto thee and that profitable for the children of men unto Godliness 11 To thee shall also from henceforth many mysteries of my heavenly Kingdome which hitherto have been kept and concealed from the e world and her wise and letter-learned be revealed and made known for to bring the same to light 12 At the time according to the word and command of the Lord H. N. instantly took his journey Eastward and became an Inhabitant in the land of the East and was for the most time iu Pietas even as the Lord had commanded him ae3 And the Lord the God of heaven revealed to him in Pietas many godly mysteries and in these revealed mysteries H. N. excereised himselfe in Gods holy understanding to the serviceable benefit or utility of the children of men and to all their good knowledge of their Salvation and peace in Jesus Christ 14 There were revealed unto him also many wonderfull Acts or Workes of God many of which are testified and brought to light in the writings of H. N. to the knowledge of the upright Godliness in Jesus Christ 15 But in all this which the Lord hath revealed to H. N. he was rejoyced too exceedingly insomuch that he forgot all the sore wayes which he in great sadnesse had passed through 16 And the Lord afflicted him heavily through his enemies for the Lord suffered him to fall into the hands of the wicked his enemies whose ungodly being is the false destruction which hath brought on the Earth death or f mortality namely the Kingdome of the Devil and of hell which God hath not willed that it should be in the Earth but be condemned in the g bottomlesse pit and the everlasting darknesse from whence it also came And that the h Glory of Jesus Christ should be revealed on the earth and raigne over it eternally 17 Yea the same wicked Beeing must be abolished in the condemnaâ—ion at the appearing of Jesus Christ in his glory for that same is the i envious man against God and his righteousnesse and against all that is Godly and * God-service k and wherewith the man practiseth his whoredome and adultery to the disobeying and resisting his God so that thereby the man every where l turneth or inclineth to himselfe and to things which are vaine and unprofitable whereby also the same ungodly being in the false light of the mans disobedient knowledge is become predominant 18 Behold into this Abysse or Depth the Lord let fall his chosen servant H. N and suffered him to tast and feel the condemnation of all ungodly ones in the hellish fire the most horrible perdition and the most ugly abomination of desolation 19 But when now H. N. found himself thus captived in misery wherein hee was sorely vexed by his enemies so there came on him a great and mighty sadnesse and he could find no comfort at all insomuch that by reason of his great heavinesse of mind he wringed his hands and exceedingly bewailed his sinnes and cryed aloud to God and besought him for his Grace and continued therein day and night And in this his misery he composed these Psalmes of mourning and lamentation and did not hide his sinnes and thus calling on and praying to the Lord he spake forth his mourning Psalmes with weeping and lamentation Here follow the Psalmes of H. N. and the declaration of his weeping and praying in his chastisement The Rod and punishment giveth wisdome Pro. 29. For whom the Lord loveth he chastiseth and delighteth in him as a Father doth in his sonne Pro. 3. Therefore shall the eare which barkeneth to the correction of the Lord dwell among the wise but he that letteth go the chastising Instrâ—ction or turneth away from it he rejecteth his own â—oul Pro. 2.

XXVI THus hath the Lord who forsaketh not a Elect likewise not forsaken his chosen servant H. N. in his misery lamentation aâ—d prayers For like as he bringeth his own even into the death and b maketh alive againe carrieth into hell and bringeth from thence againe permits the c enemy to carry away into captivity and againe delivereth them out of the hands and captivity of their enemies and exalteth or honoureth them among his living ones So likewise the Lord delivered H. N. out of his misery and out of the bonds of his enemies and brought him also with Gladnesse with his children of the Kingdome againe to his most holy being which is full of all pure beauty and heavenly riches and revealed unto him the whole Tabernacle of his Sanctuary and the requiring of the service thereof 2 And H. N. praised and thanked the most highest for the abundance of his mercy because that he replenished him with all fulnesse of his godly understanding and H. N. diligently endeavoured himselfe againe to the obedience of his Service And the Lord revealed all things to him in the understanding that was needful for the children of men to know for their salvation 3 And so in all these things that were revealed and given him to understand from the Lord hee was very zealous and diligent out of the revelation of God to set down in writing the godly understanding and the right knowledge thereof Also for to describe the godly Testimonies as far as the Lord revealed unto him and might be profitable to the children of men and to declare to the lovers of the Truth and before all understadding according to the true Being of Jesus Christ and his holy Spirit of Love to publish the same in writing And he hath done the same and through the help of God in some measure accomplished it 4 But after that this ministration of the same godly Testimonies had had their forth-going thus for some years through H. N. in writing and Printed Letters So were there some Writings of the same godly Testimonies come into the hands of Whoremongers into the hands of Traitors and into the hands of self-conceited wise ones also into the hands of the generation of Cain and of the false hearts of the Letter-learned whose d fore-fathers persecuted Christ and his Witnesses accused him falsly and killed him 5 Which wicked generation of false hearts have dealt most shamefully with the Writings of H. N. and the same testimonies of God and have also out of their evil deeds manifested e the wickedness of their hearts and that the good nature of Christ dwelleth not in them f but the false nature of Cain who murthered his brother Abel also the evil spirit of g Saul who persecuted the holy Prophet David and
the Spirit as High Priest in the same most holy as a minister of the spiritual and heavenly Goods 56 Thus had the Lord our heavenly Father through the Offering of our High Priest Jesus Christ to the accomplishing of the dayly God-service in the holy of the true Tabernacle a great delight in the accomplishing of our Offering and God-service in the holy of the true Tabernacle of Jesus Christ under the obedience of the Beliefe 57 Which freedom to the entrance into the said holy for to perform to the living God of heaven such acceptable Offering and pleasing Service of God we have obtained and purchased through the bloud of Jesus Christ Yea verily to the accomplishing of the same hath Jesus Christ prepared for us the entrance into the Holy by a new and living way the q veil that is through his flesh 58 And thus when we had finished or fulfilled our Offering and God-service under the obedience of the Belief in the offering and God-service of our Lord r Jesus Christ wee rested us with Christ in his like death and burial on the nine and fortieth day of our journey 59 And thus on the nine and fortieth day resting us in our Lord Jesus Christ from our work and labour we have perfected or * fulfilled our journey and our offering and God-service with Jesus Christ in the holy under the obedience of the Belief And thus through Christ according to the Spirit wee have gotten and obteined the ministration of the spiritual and heavenly Goods and the everlasting life CHAP. XXXII 1 BUt on the fiftieth day of our journey on the fifteenth day of the first moneth on the day of Phase or Pasche came into us a still soft silent voice wind or Spirit And we were enlightned in Christ with the a clearness or brightness of Christ And thus in our illuminating * on the same fiftieth day there appeared to us in a cloud the living God-head of our Lord Jesus Christ and became altogether of one being with us and gathered us to the Mercy-Seat of his divine Majesty and also to the holy Mount Sion b where the Law or Ordinance of the Lord is promised to go forth at the last time And to the true Jerusalem where the Word of the Lord at the last time is likewise promised to go forth 2 And the Lord gave his mighty great sound out of Sion and caused his voice to be heard out of Jerusalem And so c flowed the Law or Ordinance of the Lord out of Sion And his Word forth of Jerusalem And the Scripture of the Godly Testimonies were accomplished in us and with us in Jesus Christ And the former kingdom full of all pure beauty and heavenly riches and full of all vertues aâ—d upright righteousness which God from the beginning d hath prepared for the man was shewed unto us in his perfect adorning and we were inherited therein eternally and it was all e restored again to us in us and with us what God had spoken wrought and appointed and promised through the mouthes of his holy Prophets from the beginning of the World 3 And that same is the new day and the manifestation of the kingdom of Heavens and his righteousness wherein all Believers of Jesus Christ who follow after Jesus Christ f to the second birth do inherit And the same new day with the fulnesse of his beauties riches and vertues is the day of which the Kingly Prophet David hath of old Evangelized like as there standeth written this is the g day the Lord hath made let us rejoyce and be glad therein 4 And thus in these wonderfull works of God the word of the Lord came to H N and said This holy Land which thou here at this present beholdest and wherein thou art now everlastingly inherited is the holy inheritance of my living-ones h and is my rest and the holy place of my dwelling it is also the true Rest which I have promised my people Israel and all the holy-ones of my Christ and have given it for an eternall inheritance 5 It is my true Building i that I my selfe have prepared for all those who love mee and whereinto I gather all my Lovers to mee and to my people and it is my holy and godly understanding wherein I live eternally and in which I illuminate and endue all the Believers of my Christ in their second birth with such an abounding godly understanding That they far excel all humane and Letter-learned knowledges and in the life of my godly clearness far surmount the same 6 It is my durable kingdom k wherein I will for ever plant and firmly settle all mine Elect to an eternal rest and perfectly joy now in the last times 7 And I have from everlasting ordained them thereunto to manifest therein for ever and ever my heavenly wonders and also to declare the same from thence upon the earth for a witness That I the Lord who am an eternal and living God live from everlasting to everlasting l And that I now at the last time m bring upon the earth the judgment and the righteousness and the Majesty of my divine Glory 8 Therefore shalt thou H. N together with the four and twenty Elders and the four Seraphims dwell with me and all my holy ones in this my holy place eternally 9 And the declaration of my upright Godliness which thou here hast received from my n uncovered face shalt thou also make known upon the earth And with the testimonies of my righteousness and with the publication of the joyful message of my Kingdome enlighten the whole World and so declare that now my true kingdom of heavens with the fulness of it's pure beauty and heavenly riches is appeared manifested and comne upon the earth according to the promises to the salvation and blessing of all men who with their whole hearts seek the same and the righteousness thereof 10 I also will yet shew unto thee in this holy place of my living-ones more of my heavenly workings and give thee also to understand many mysteries which hitherto hath not bin known to the o world Also what my last Will or Testament is of the ministration of my most holy Priestly Office under the obedience of my Love 11 For from hence-forth in this day will I look upon the estranging of men from my Truth with the eyes of compassion to give unto them out of my Priestly Office of Love p the true repentance for their sins and shew forth the true entrance of the Goodlife 12 And because that all men in their estranging or before they out of the doctrine of my grarlous word and out of the holy Spirit of my love are renewed or born again beare q a veile or covering before their hearts betwixt them and my face so will I also now in this last time be gracious unto all those who believe my
