About the second hour a dream befell me wherein I saw a youth coming unto me in a somewhat long but plain garment yet exceeding comely he talking with me most courteously after I awook and mused who it was that I had seen the Lord answered I have shewn my self unto thee in my habit in which I walked up and down on the Earth from the twelfth year of my age the which my age ye restoring do sing O fill us with thy Spirit thou Lord Jesus Christ.

Octob. 24. 1652. Early in the morning after my prayers were ended I slept again and lo a young-man of a beautiful shape and having comely hair bearing Ensigns or Trophies in his hand the which being beheld I wondred what it should be And presently in that Buckler I saw a Lion with his two feet raised upright and over against us a Vail spread being very beautifully painted The which when I beheld what it would betoken I observed that I was not asleep and I saw there a very pleasant Field through which divers Nations did go with Horses with great familiarity among themselves Which Vision as soon as it vanished I betaking my self to prayer and meditating what those things might signifie I fell into sleep but I soon again awaked And the Lord said unto me Thou hast seen the Lion of the Tribe of Judah the Root of David whose Strength and Arm shall be revealed to the Nations of the Earth which thou hast seen from all the corners of the world after that I shall have destroyed the multitude of those that dwell on the Earth that will not acknowledge my Name For I the Governour of the Earth will perform my New Work in renewing my Laws throughout the Nations that Sion may triumph and Jerusalem may be rebuilt where my Sons shall serve me without Idols and Idolaters the which I will beget in the room of those who do now blaspheme me and my Name committing Abomination with the Whore those Kings of the Earth who have begotten Heathenish Abominations upon the

Earth For the Waters of the Flood that toss the Ark shall depart in which I will keep you my beloved Ones being a small number until a day of Peace unto which there hath not been the like since the beginning of things For my Sons shall come from far the which I will beget unto my self upon the face of the Earth the which ye shall admire at whence these should come they being Children begotten by a Man without a Woman being nursed up without a Mother Do thou my Servant seal what my mouth hath spoken to thee to day But do ye who wait for me watch and pray trusting on me your Creator being single and sincere one towards another I will preserve you but I will overthrow those both mine and your enemies with the Flood Arise and write these things Of the 153 Revelation Novemb. 15. 1652.

When I called to remembrance what it was which I had seen in a Dream a Shepherd or Pastor of a Church with his Wife in a most plain habit yet being clean and covered and distributing Bread-corn among their Children the Lord answered Thou hast seen Me and my Wife in my antient unseen simplicity which the vain and proud Idolatrous Teachers in all Ages will neither know nor understand that I am he who resisteth the proud but do distribnte my Gifts to the humble and that freely as a Father to his Children Which Gift whosoever rightly useth with an imitating of my Life he shall dwell with me for ever But how is it whenas my Worshippers are as they have alwayes been so now oppressed by Idolaters as if there were no God and no Justice in the World as if all things were left free to Violence and Tyranny Of the 237 Revelation May 28. 1654. After my morning-prayer the Lord having talked with me said Dismiss thou Grief my Servant thou shalt receive Comfort in these dayes But I thought with my self that the words of Samuelwere not wont to fall to the ground and the Lord presently answered Is there any cause of that thing except because that my Words have been received with simple faith and obedience Ah! if my Words had been thus heard by Sodom and Gomorrah they had more readily done my Will with Repentance But have I ever spoken otherwise by my Servants the Prophets than thus than after such a manner I say as I have spoken and do as yet speak by thee Do thou only fear me my care is of thee But behold on the very same day there came unto me from the Lord Petroces a Noble Hungarian two bushels of Bread-corn the which I received with astonishment wondring that it should come from that place where I was almost unknown after that not so much as one pugil or small handful of Meal was remaining in my house July 12. 1654. When I had ended my sighs the Lord shewed me a certain Light and it flashed twice in mine eyes the which I wondred at And the Lord said I will loose the Nations of the Earth from the Fetters and hard Yoaks of men who have Spiritual Titles and Carnal Works and through false Doctrine passing away their Life without Vertue They bear about onely a mask of Christianity seeking thereby to deceive Me and my People and in the mean time living most lavishly teaching and doing all things to the disgrace of my Cross and of my Doctrine and of true Christianity Kindle a Fire and cast those Vizards into the Flame and take up my Cross of the true imitation of me in Spirit and Truth And do not kill with the Sword those who as yet know me not but offer unto them the right-hand of Charity and send ye the Light of my Law unto them by men that are enlightned by Me which ye have now in Europe Of the 263 Revelation Septemb. 4. 1654.

you the time of your Reward the which I have both merited for and promised to you that truly believe in me But not unto you only but also to those who through ignorance reproached me yet after a divers manner Some through meer ignorance as I have said others through obstinacy by reason of the transitory gain of Honour and Riches of the World they undeservedly hating you my Worshippers for this cause only because ye did cast a burning Spear into their eyes the Truth of my holy Law and of my Life Ye serving my Sheep freely out of Love after my example and the example of my antient Witnesses They could not upbraid you that ye had eat the fat and cloathed your selves with the wool in feeding my Flock and therefore they have hated you without a cause saith the Lord.

The Lord shewed me two Barrels out of which they drew Wine But out of one of them the bigger did flow forth clear Wine but out of the lesse exceeding thick or troubled with a narrow pipe The which as it passed through the Voice of the Lord spake unto me My Servant I have shewn thee two Barrels That bigger with the Wine already refined is England where I have already ordained Quietness and the Order of my Worship The other Barrel is Poland being most full of the turbulent dregs of discord deceits lies and all kind of confusion it must needs be purged after the manner that I have denounced as also this part of Hungary As long as the Palatinate the Jesuites and the Archbishop are not thrown down this Land will remain unquiet Do thou labour and send Letters to him that is near thee the day after thou shalt receive a sorrowful message May 31. 1657. I have set a Crown of Tyle on the head of the Pope and the like Crown will I put on the head of the King of Spain when I shall have rent his Kingdom from him a part whereof the English also my faithful ones shall receive the which neither they themselves can think nor the World Decemb. 14. 1662. The Lord said Lo there hath already fallen a Stone out of my hand which none of the sons of men shall remove nor any of the Electors of the Empire who do in vain consult of stopping it For a change of things in the whole World is at hand and is already come that all the Nations of the Earth should depart out of Darkness into Light after that the Flood is come upon a great multitude of men But do ye prepare your hands to gather March 8. 1663.

June 18. 1663. Again The Word of the Lord came unto me when the Lord had shewn me a great and sumptuous City which a great River did flow by being adorned on its banks with pleasant Gardens and Mills divers men known and unknown beholding those things with me And lo a vehement Wind rushed on it together with the Flood overturning the Walls and Houses and taking away the Gardens and Mills with a great noise it being a most sad spectacle to me and a great grief of heart concerning the destruction of the City and the men because very few were delivered therefrom but I praised God for the Preservation of us I awakening prayed unto God and my prayer being ended the Voice of the Lord sounded within me My Beloved All my Words are in my remembrance which I spake from the beginning of things by my Witnesses also in this last Age by Cotterus Christiana and others to thee unknown by thee also at length I have uttered what I was about to do before the end of things For lo the age of the Patriarchs Judges Kings and Prophets are passed away and the age of my dwelling upon the Earth and of my Apostles and the age of Cyprian Athanasius Augustine and of others unto Wickliff Hus Luther and the more antient men of the Brotherly Unity But behold the Sixth Age is now at hand wherein I the Governour of the Earth will make an end of the Beast and of the Whore that rides the Beast And I will cast down that great Stone to beat down Vienna that seat of Tyrants to my People for an Abominable Spectacle to the World to Turks and other Nations unto whom the shining light of my Light did not shine that they might receive Illumination to the acknowledgement of me who Alone am the Light of the World illuminating every man that comes into this World December 17. 1663. The Voice of my roaring unto the People and their Kings of France Portugal England where I have many diligent ones and to the Inhabitants of the Empire of Germany its Electors and Princes as also to the Polonians Muscovites Tartars Turks I will have my formerly and now denounced Will performed that ye being made unanimous do throw down from its lofty seat the Power of the Pope of Rome exercising Idolatry and Tyranny whereby the whole Earth may become as a mowed Meadow repurged from Errors and filthy Idolatry and that all Nations may be brought and be converted unto me who Alone am the Light of the World enlightning every man that cometh into this World For I the Governour of the Earth do will that before the end of the World there be One Faith and One Baptism March 20. 1664. And the Lord said I wish that ye Christians who have known my Name and who perform the more weighty Offices in Church and State would be all one in Me without the rentings asunder into so many names unacceptable to me as Waldenses Hussites Lutherans Calvinists c. I therefore cry out Be ye All even now at length a little before Sun-setting One in Me with the Father and Holy-Spirit all of you indifferently with all who desire Salvation O I wish that ye sons of men would remember how that I before my Death prayed my Father and your Father my God and your God for you that all ye whose Natures I assumed a Body like unto you sin only excepted might be One. Nicholas Drabicius being a Minister of the Church in Bohemia which is called by the name of the Brotherly Unity is commended for singleness of mind without any deceit and for the love of Justice and Zeal enduring no Iniquity but he either reproved it or shewed displeasure against it Lastly being ready to succour the necessities of any neighbour whatsoever almost beyond example as is wont to be said of him by good men that are yet alive in an extraordinary manner and it may be most truly said of him That he was ready even to divide his heart with any one The Church being afterwards dispersed through the persecutions of the See of Rome when he saw that he was not banished far off he betook himself to the imployment of Cloathing for which cause especially the rest of his Brethren suspended him from the Office of the Ministry as a Traytor or Apostate In this state of Exile and as it were of Excommunication first the Word of the Lord came unto him in the year 1638 and so until 1664 he now being 77 years of age he hath the place of his abode in Moravia As concerning the question Whether or no these Prophecies or the like ought to be published Mark The said Prophecies will prove either false or true If false then there will when published come of it two notable profits one is that thereby Kings and Princes will be the more sure and prove good because if bad false Prophets would never stir against their Government The second is that the Subjects will henceforth beware of false Prophets and so keep to more firm obedience But if the said Prophecies should prove true then there would when suppressed come of it two irrepairable dammages One is that such who kick against the pricks will be arraigned at the Bar of the Lord Omnipotent and be found guilty of Suppression of the Lord's Voice when he roareth like a Lion to warn the Nations and Rulers thereof that they might not perish unawares but save themselves according to his direction The second is that they will be found guilty of High-Treason both to the King and the Subjects or People like one that knew they should be murdered and destroyed and yet hid it Therefore whatsoever those Prophecies might be false or true they ought not to be kept under a bushel but let them be set forth as a Candle that every one may take notice of them either to Salvation or to beware of false Prophets Or else some might be ready to think that men suppressing the publication thereof were convinced of something and afraid in their consciences of something which they sought to prevent the Lord's Judgment upon even as if humane craftiness were able to prevail with the Power of the Lord of Hosts and stop it which is but a pittiful wisdom to be laugh'd and mocked at by him that sitteth in the Heavens viz. the Lord and his Anointed Psal 2.
