30. In the darknesse of the North ariseth a Sunne which taketh its light from the sensuallish properties of the Nature of all Beeings from the Formed expressed re-expressing Word and this is a Wonder at which all Nations rejoyce 31. An f The Emperour of Germany Eagle hath hatcht young Lions in his nest and brought them prey till they have growne great hoping that they would againe bring their prey to him but they have forgotten that and take the Eagles nest and pluck off his feathers and in unfaithfulnesse bite off his claws so that he can fetch no more prey though he should starve for hunger 32. But they fall out about the Eagles nest and teare one another in anger untill their anger become a fire which burnes up the nest and This from the Lord of all Beeings 33. If the rich and potent did know upon what his foundation stood he would enter into himselfe and look to his End 34. The Sunne giveth to many a thing life and also to many a thing death 35. Thus they that lie still in selfe-will as a childe in the Mothers wombe and lets its internall ground whence man hath its rise to lead and guide it the same is the noblest and richest upon the earth 36. The Postilion arising out of the ground of Nature cometh and carrieth a sword over the earth and hath six windes for his assistants which for a long time have ruled upon the earth these destroy the Postilions sword by the manifestation of the seventh Winde which they at all times have held hidden in them but by reason of the Postilions power they must now call and manifest to him 37. Which seventh Winde a new fire revealeth whence a great light shineth forth and at this time shall the fountaine of Grace flow forth and the distressed shall be refreshed 12. The second Epist to Carel van Endern vers 12. c. HOwever at present all is in Babel and there shall a great Rent be made yet let no man despaire For as God helped the Children of Israel with Consolation in the Babylonicall Captivity and sent them Prophets even so shall now also Lillies grow in the midst of thornes and this is wonderfull 13. Also no man need thinke that even now the whole destruction of the Citie Babel shall come to passe there shall verily be an exceeding great Rent such a one as men now doe not beleeve for the Antichrist is not wholly revealed though verily in part 14. Men shall suppose that they have wholly rooted him out and after some sorrow great joy shall follow and they shall make Lawes and Covenants together with severe sharpe Articles of Religion yet for the most part for the advancement of their honour and might and men shall suppose that the holy Spirit of heaven speaketh and now there is a golden world yet it sticketh full of Gods anger and is still in Babel and the true Essence of the right life in Christ is not yet therein 15. Also the rider on the pale Horse shall come after and cut off many with his Sickle yet in the meane time the Lilly springeth in the Wonders against which the last Antichrist shall raise persecution even then cometh his end for the Appearance of the Lord terrifieth him 16. And then Babel burneth up in the zeale anger of God and the same is wonderfull of which I have no might to write more plainly yet at at that time my writings shall be very serviceable for there cometh a time from the Lord which is not from the starry heaven 17. Blessed is he that seeks the Lord with full earnestnesse for he shall not be found in the history but in true affiance and in the right internall resignation into the life and into the doctrine of Christ therein the Holy Ghost shall appeare with wonders and powers which Babel at present in her * Cunning 〈◊〉 vises forge● hypocrisies inventions doth not beleeve yet however it certainly cometh and is already on foote yet hidden from the world 31. I Have now found a precious jewell which might doe you service Out of an Epist vers 3● not onely for the soule but also for the body and be profitable to your Patients 32. If men would labour in Christs Vineyard then might God verily even now at present give us such a Sun-shine that should warme the Apothecaries shop of which many honest people have been a long time desirous which Sun-shine would drive away the smoake in Babel and be a refreshment to the children of Christ in their oppression and misery 33. But in truth men will be so ungodly therefore it shall first horribly raine and haile insomuch that the earth shall quake and drowne many thousand soules in the water 34. I would here very gladly mention somewhat unto you but at this time it may not be be pleased to consider the Storme towards the East that towards the North is not far from it in the South there is a great smoake so that it g Pricketh or maketh them smart biteth the eyes of those towards the West 35. No man need say when the Storme passeth by that this man or that man is righteous before God it shall goe well with him because of his Religion the anger of God is inkindled in all and they are all alike before him in respect of their Religion and knowledge while the one liveth like the other 36. The most High sweepeth out one besom with another yet there springeth a Lilly to all Nations happy are they that apprehend the same 37. The thirsty soule shall in no wise say The Lord hath forgotten me as little as a Mother can forget her childe and albeit shee should forget yet the Lord hath not forgotten his poore exceeding distressed Christendome he hath noted her in his wounds pierced through with nailes his light shall shine from the East unto the West for a Testimony unto all Nations 38. From the South standeth a Lilly towards the North whosoever obtaineth the same for a propriety he shall sing the Song of Gods mercy and in the same time the word of the Lord springeth as grasse upon the earth and the Nations sing this Song of Babel in one harmony for the beginning hath found the end 39. Thinke upon my dark sayings for I might not doe it better at this time seeing that men have onely sought after pride and coveteousnesse and despised the mirrour of Anger and have not at all repented therefore they worke iniquity with iniquity untill iniquity devours it selfe and the wrath of God well satiates it selfe 40. Humane Reason shall be here able to hinder little with its consultations but blow up the fire and give further occasion 41. God was good before distresse but seeing men forsake God thereupon followeth distresse and scorn 42. Let every one consider and have a care of himselfe yet he that shall not seek and defend himselfe shall be sought and defended
