A38960	Strange and wonderful visions being something concerning a child that lay fourteen days and nights in a trance, and spoke not a word for nine weeks together, and when she came to her speech, she spake wonderful things : as also, of a man in Germany, under the like circumstance, but exprest more fully, what he had seen of the joys of heaven, and the torments of hell.

also the Moon and Stars but unutterably surpassing those we see here in splendor and beauty The Heaven Sun Moon and Stars reflected their Glory upon the Christaline Earth and were seen in it far more clearly then any opposit Objects are discerned in the best Looking-glasses I beheld also the Earth adorned with most beautiful Flowers of all sorts which were splendorous and shining and their Colour far more lively then these here below I saw no Man upon this Earth save only the Lord Jesus in his glorified Body resembling a transcendently beautiful Young Man his Body was transparent so that I could see his Heart in the midst of it his sacred Wounds shined like so many glorious Stars and his whole Body shew'd a lustre far beyond that of the New Heavens in his Face I descerned my own Face more clearly then ever I had seen it in a Looking-glass But what shall I say more of the Glory and Beauty of his all Glorious Face the remembrance whereof doth to this day fill my Heart with such exalting Joy as I cannot compare with any of the pleasures or delights of this world As I was beholding the unutterable Beauty of Christ I said unto him Dearest Lord Jesus shew unto me thy Father Which I had no sooner said but I saw a wonderful Flame streaming forth from his Heart which immediately filled the New Heavens and Earth and gave them a thousand fold greater Glory then they had before I said unto him also Lord shew me the Holy Ghost and as soon as I had so said I saw many thousands of Beams darted from all parts of his Body in like manner as Rays proceed from the Sun Thus I saw the Holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son and I saw the Father in Christ and Christ in the Father for the whole Body of Christ was filled with the fiery flaming Glory of the Father and I saw the Holy Ghost in the likeness of infinit Rays proceeding from the Father through Christ even through all the parts and members of his Body Then I desired to behold the Souls of Saints whereupon he led further into the Father and shewed me the Souls of Believers in God's Hand where no pain could touch them they appeared to me in the likeness of many great Sparks of Light very swiftly moving one through another Then I desired to see my Mother in her bodily Figure for she dyed when I was yet a Child which at the first was denyed me but afterwards upon continuing instant in my request I was commanded to return to the World and to call all the Dead in Christ and to bid them arise for Christ commanded it Upon this I saw many Graves open out of which Bodies arose and they came with me into the New world and stood about the Lord Jesus I could discern them all in his Body as it were by reflection and he again did shine and was seen in every one of their Bodies in like manner as when a Cristial Globe being hung up in the midst of a Room with many lesser Globes round about it all the lesser are seen in the great Globe and the great Globe appears in every one of the lesser I needed not to ask any Questions what this or that was for whatsoever I saw I knew also I saw moreover a great number of Birds with Golden Feathers flying under the Heavens and praising God I saw also the Beasts of the Field which were most beautiful the Hair of their Skin shining like Gold with these the Saints delighted themselves blessing and praising God who had created such a vast number of beautiful Creatures for his Praise and Glory Whilst I was surprised with these Wonderful Sights and transported with Songs and Melody of the Saints and Angels the Lord said unto me Now return again unto the Earth and declare unto the Children of Men what thou hast seen and heard and tell them That if they would come hither to enjoy whatsoever their Hearts can desire and have their Bodies made like my Glorious Body they must heartily Repent and not res●st the Holy Ghost by any known Sin and thereby hinder him from working Faith in them which evidenceth it self by Love without which none can be saved or have their Souls purified and clarified for none shall have their Bodies glorified in Eternity whose Souls have not been purified here in time And when I was instant with the Lord that I might remain in Paradise aleadging that if I should return to the Earth men would not believe my Report The Lord comforted me and said Do thou bear it patiently when thou hearest men Blaspheam my Works for the more thou shalt suffer for my sake in the World the more hereafter shalt thou rejoyce with me in Soul and Body Return thou therefore again into the World and tell them the things that I command thee Run apace gird up thy self l●t not the long Garments of this World intangle thy Feet let no man stop or stay thee haste thee away I say and I will follow thee at thy Heels and will come quickly to make an end of this Wicked World and take my Saints to me in my Kingdom where they shall enjoy Eternal Happiness and will send the Wicked to the Bottomless Pit of Hell Then I desired that before my departure out of Paradise I might fly up into the Air which was granted me where I saw David and Solomon delighting themselves with Birds that perched on their Fingers and sung most Melodiously And from thence at my desire I mounted up to the Stars and from thence was carried up into the infinite space of Eternity where I beheld the unutterable and inconceiveable Glory of God which I can no way in the least declare what it was Then the Lord Jesus put a Golden Tankard into my Left hand and a Golden Cup into my Right hand and said Go now and return to the World and fill out to every one a Taster of this Heavenly Wine of my Kingdom and to every one that doth relish it and desire to pertake of this my Banquet and to have their fill thereof to all Eternity Do thou declare that I will come quickly and take them along with me to my Heavenly Banquet And those that indure great Crosses and Troubles do thou charge from me that they bare it patiently till that blessed Hour shall come when I shall take them to my self to live with me in fulness of Joy to all Eternity wherefore let them rather in Submission to my Will chuse to suffer Anguish and Affliction then in their own Wills to be freed therefrom for in my Will all true Happiness is to be found here in this time with Cr●sses and Tribulation but hereafter in Endless Joys for ever And whereas I had seen a Young man through the Body of Christ and he also saw me through the same Body so that we beheld one another through the Body of Christ the Angel
