to its own Eternal Originality which consisted in Light Purity and Power And thou shalt have no other God live in thee but JEHOVAH whose Arm alone hath redeemed and brought thee into thy Primitive Liberty and Soveraignty again through the Internal Dying as the acceptable Propitiation The Second Commandment THou art not to Frame or Carve out in thy Mind a strange God tho' it may be after an Heavenly Likeness worshipping thou knowest not what or whom The Fallen Essences would make a God like unto themselves Gross and Elementary with which the Earthly Sense might be familiar and have recourse to for supply in a gross Visible manner owning the Invisible Creator in word but denying the Faith in his Omnipotency through the going a Whoring after the God of Reason bowing down and worshipping the Rising Sun which governeth the Day of this Fallen Creation the Apostate Spirits still crying in Man's Nature as of old Vp make us Gods which may go before us that we may have our sensible sight fed As for this Invisible Working Power it delays to come down to us though his Arm hath been made bare and wrought great deliverance yet now being withdrawn we wist not what is become of this Unknown God that keeps in such a Circle as we can not break in to him Therefore saith the Unbelieving Israel We will make choice of a God for our selves after our own Likeness Now from this high Idolatry thou art prohibited upon pain of losing Wisdom's Blessing For thy God will not bear or suffer any one whom he hath placed in this New Land to have any other God but himself who is Jealous of his Honour and who will be trusted to and rested upon and have the whole worship and subjection of the Will and adoration of the Mind not admitting either Sense or Reason to be his Rival Faith without doubting and Love unfeigned is the Sum of this Commandment which observe thou with all fear The Third Commandment LET none dare to make mention of the most Holy Name in their Mouths that are not with their Hearts incorporated into it Oh! what a Covering hath VVisdom's all-piercing Eye seen this Sacred Name vainly to be made and highly to have been abused by many dead rotten Spirits that have put it on as a Mantle to hide their VVitchcrafts and Spiritual Sorceries which is one of the greatest of Grievances this day to thy God It is not so ill taken from the unbridled and Profane Spirit as from the civilized Righteous one whose Leaven be thou aware of And understand from me what weight this Name beareth when not taken in vain but to good purpose as thou art required now to do according to these my Directions I. First Suffer thy Restored Creaturely Being as being become a New Believer to be Baptized and plunged throughout into this Name which is the Golden Pool where the Holy Ghost opens his Fiery Stream And he invites to drink down this precious Name or else all will be in vain No Unbeliever is capable of this Fiery Baptism for the solemnizing of this holy Seal must according to what is Recorded follow after Believing II. A Second Rule is That thou maist receive and bear this Name worthily give it place that it may all over-run thee in such wise that thou maist disappear and be hid in it so as nothing may be found but this Holy Flaming Name purifying every Property turning all into a Godlikeness as becomes this holy Place Thus will you come to know what is the Effectual VVorking of this Name as it is written not only VVithin but upon the Forehead being all over cloathed therewith This is no less than the Establishing the New Covenant making good this Promise I will be to thee a God and thou shalt be to me a People to shew a cementing into each other so as there shall be no need for such as are come here to say Know the Lord for his Name is now become One and All knowing himself in Thee to be IEHOVAH acting in a restored simplified Nature as of old time After this manner it is only worth taking and bearing the Name of thy God To which take thou heed and drink it in The Fourth Commandment THis is a considerable Duty that thou art charged to call to remembrance minding whereto thou are called to solemnize an holy Sabbath And since none but those who are Dead can cease from their Working Properties this Commandment reacheth only the Children of the Resurrection that know nothing of serving in the Martha-like Carefulness Here must be a Rest in Paradise yea all that smells or favours of the six days Labour which entred in with the Curse of Mortality is to be ceased from I say all sinful Workings either in Mind or in Body we are to rest from not doing our own pleasure or speaking our own words This is that true Inward Sabbath we are called to sanctifie our God with This is a Truth but there is a Rest which reacheth further than all this But you will say wherein and from what must we cease Pray give us the Particulars of it I. The First is this A Total Cessation from the Working Property of Reason the motion of which must be stopped Here is no occasion for it in this New Paradisical World It is Forbidden Fruit to the Children of the Resurrection that must live one and the same Life with JESUS and with the Angels that is a Divine Magical Life strictly bound up to the Mystery of Faith here to be revealed Thou must as one alive from the dead forget all those Morsels of Mortality which maintained the sensitive Properties and which are only allowable for the Inhabitants of the Earth II. A Second Particular is That not only thy Eternal Spirit and Mind rest from Labour and Commerce but also thine Outward in whom live the Working Essences which would be continually Trafficking like a whirling Wheel that is never at rest These are the Son and the Daughter the Man-servants and the Cattel within the Gates of the External Man that are prohibited working having fulfilled the time hereof in the six days Working Properties being now entred into this holy Sabbath where nothing must be known but such a Life as can take pleasure in loving the Lord thy God with all thine Heart No Work being required of thee but to believe and rest upon his Omnipotency to bring all into thy hand Thou needest not to wander out from the Tabernacle which the Lord hath pitched to gather Provision it shall be rained down into thy Tent if thou continuest in this holy Rest of Believing The Fifth Commandment HEre thou art required to honour thy Eternal Father and Wisdom thy true Natural Mother which hath brought thee forth and up to that stature and degree in which thou now art Hence no less is expected from thee and as my Fear and Love is with thee so my Honour must be thy great Concern that so

be Solemnized For I am now kept in suspence not knowing how long my Iesus in Paradise will yet prove me to try my Loyalty who like a desponding Lover would fain know the very Day and Hour that so I might get my self all in a readiness to meet my Beloved that when he calls I may not be surprized This is a Query that may be allowed tho' not as to the date or prefixed time to be resolved Hast thou not learnt how the Times and Seasons the Father still reserveth in his own Power who keepeth always this Prerogative to himself while he admitteth none to look into his Calender no not the Angels till they are ordered the Trumpet to sound for Proclamation when the Marriage Feast is ready Therefore go thou thy way and stand in thy Lot It is enough thou art chosen and elected hereto Thy present Business is to observe this Law of pure Chastity in which thou art to wait patiently the Motion of thy Bridegroom who doth not forget the Cry of the Spirit and Bride but suddenly may come e're thou art aware Therefore at all times watch and have thy Virgin Robe on and thou shalt not need to fear that he will stay long The Eighth Commandment WHereas it is said Thou shalt commit no Theft so by Me it is again confirmed as the Law of Paradise that thou this Rule also observe as it relates to thy God in the first place and in the second to thy Neighbouring Inhabitants in the Outward World where thou visibly art resident Now wherever there is a peculiar Property there may be an Offering of Violence by way of Robbery to it Here therefore understand that the Everlasting Father doth appropriate unto himself that which he will not give to much less be robbed of by any What is that You will say It is his Godhead which none are to assume to themselves after any manner whatever For in this doth absolute Soveraignty and Greatness of Majesty and Honour consist which are Essentially Appropriable to Him and to none other Wherefore of this high Sacriledge be thou aware and give not this Honour or rather steal it not away from that Holy Being to whom it doth belong But you will say Far be it from me ever to rob the most High of his Honour Knowingly thou wouldest not do it but I shall unfold to thee a most subtle and hidden way of deceit which the First Adam was guilty of so making it Hereditary to all his Posterity who by that first Act of Disobedience purloined from God his Maker the Glory of his Soveraignty and would have assumed the Godhead to himself by going forth into a Divided Essence to be wise in a Self-property which awakened the sinful Arrogancy to those sad Effects that are known throughout the whole Universe of Fallen Spirits to this very day For Adam committed this high Theft in Paradise and stole out there in the Divided Property from God with whom he should have kept in an Indissoluble Band of Unity whereby he lost his Godlike Power and Dignity which would have been appropriated to him had not he rent and gone out from the Eternal Essences of God the Abyss of his Being out of which he was generated to be a Mighty Potent King and Hierarchy in the Angelical and Paradisical World the which under God he was to have Ruled like a God uncontroulably and did so till it was lost most Cowardly Well but now in thine Heart I know thou sayest How may I bring back into Paradise this Honour Name and Praise which I would not for a Thousand Millions of Worlds be reckoned to rob my God of now that I O Mother see in thy Glass the Evil Consequences hereof If so then Call and Summon in all those Essences wherein stand the Virtual Powers and Mights which belong to thy God to whom thou art to return with them and to work in an Undivided Spirit according to the Operative Power which will work Godlike through all thy Properties unto the recovering of those lost Goods which the subtle Serpent together with the Harlotry Spirit of this World had Cheated thy God in Thee of But now Wisdom is come to direct how all should be cemented and gathered in again that so thou mayest not take from the Inhabitants of the Outward World any of their bitter unsavoury Morsels in all which lyeth hid to this day the secret Venom of that Evil Tree which the whole Universe of Spirits do still take and feed upon as if it were lawful for them so to do making it matter of Necessity or even of Ordination from the most High But that this is not so will soon be made appear when the Sun shall break forth the Day spring being now upon its Rising that shall convince the Unbelievers that there is quite another way for the Ransomed of the Lord to live Which way I will declare and open to thee that thou mayest take nothing of Egypt's stuff along with thee into thy Father's House where is All in abundance But these Treasures indeed cannot be come at but by the Key of Faith which opens and shuts and doth all here at pleasure bringing down and carrying up as a mighty Power which Spirit is God's only Familiar Friend that can do any thing with him Then with all gettings do thou aim at this which will make thee do Exploits indeed As it is my Gift and Skill to make this Key so it lyeth in thy power to turn it into the Lock which will make this Magical Door to fly open uniting the Divided Essences to act Miraculously The Ninth Commandment HEre thou art required not to bear false Witness against thy Neighbour but to love him as thy self being one with or nearer to thee than thy self But you will say Who is this my Neighbour Dost thou not know him thou that hast been so long an Inhabitant in the Paradisical Ground He is even that true Samaritan who hath poured in the Restorative Oil for thy Healing who hath taken the care of thee wholly and undertook thy Cure then when he saw thee wounded unto Death His Eye pitied and officiated in this Love Service as one that had a fellow-feeling of thy Calamity and Suffering under the Violence of Cruel Blood-thirsty Spirits under whose power thou wert fallen And seeing thee now in such imminent danger to lose thine Eternal Life he was immediately sent by the Everlasting Father to rescue thee out of the Hands of these Robbers that designed to kill the Heir of Life and Glory in Thee So here you may see who is that true Worthy Neighbour whom you are obliged to bear witness to and for and not against stedfastly bearing Record of the Truth from the Spirit of God's Wisdom dwelling in you which is the only True Prophet and Witness for Jesus in Thee Verily there are intruding Spirits that would come in as False Witnesses of whom be thou aware and be not found in the
