also make such a work in all the earth that oppression shal cease amongst them even those that are not brought into my love and favour shal live and be quiet one with the other and shal have all things common but for my Saints which have right to the tree of life and so enter in through the gates into the citty shal not be twain but shal be all one both of one heart and one minde for I the Lord of host wil preach to them and they shal hear me preach and shal learn knowof me even so much that they shal see and know that they possess all things and enjoy all things and so have all things at command for this tree of life is my self which if a man eats of he shall live for ever and also this tree of life is in the City which City may be taken two waies either mystical or literal mystically the Saints makes one City literally it is the Jerusalem where my sons and daughters shal be gathered together the gates of this City is my power which all must be indued with before they can enter into it for the tree of life is my self which will be there for ever keeping of them my sons and daughters alwaies in a continual supply so that they shal have no want of anything but the riches of the Gentils shal be brought into this City even into this new Ierusalem whose children shal be all righteous and nothing but righteousness shal dwel there nothing but the pure chosen vessels of my love shal be there even with singing dancing shal they come thither and leaping for joy for the Lord hath founded Sion and the poor of the people shal trust in it O Sion shout shout and sing for joy for all people shall tremble and quake for fear of thee even for fear of thy most excellent King I the mighty Iehovah that dwels in thee and I wil make thee to be famous and thee to be desired far among all people this word shout shewes abundance of joy joy unspeakable in thee shout and be glad nothing but rejoyce and sing let sorrow and sighing and whatsoever hath formerly troubled thee be now turned into joy and gladness I tel thee that thou shalt be made the praise of the whole earth even thou O Sion that hath bin scattered and driven into all nations here and there one but now I have founded Sion even thee O Sion wherein I do delight to dwel and will bring thee into my own place even into a Canaan of rest from all thy hateful enemies so that thou shalt no longer be here and thereon no but I wil bring you all together both Iews and Gentiles and I wil make you to be both one rejoycing in you and wil be married to you and you shal be my spouse and my wife who shal alwaies be feeding on the tree of life and so I wil make you live for ever for all my joy and delight shal be in you and I wil be your tower and rock and wals and salvation for you and in that day you shal say we have a strong City salvation will God appoint for wals and bullwarks even a free universal liberty from all sorts of enemies both within and without and nothing but joy and love all being knit together in love rejoycing in love heaving so strong a City and all manner of precious things being there even such a City and place for delight that there shal be none like it in the world for nothing but joy wil I give you and wil make you for to rejoyce in me your King of glory and you shal be as so many Kings and Princes that shal reigne here on earth every one of you no less then a King that shal have all nations in subjection to you by my mighty power which I wil manifest in you I wil make you to break the nations in peices like potters vessels even into shivers shalt thou dash all thine enemies whether they be Turk or Pope or any other Countries for all shal become as weak as water I in the midst of you wil shew my self to be strong and powerful even so strong that I wil make all nations to be silent and sit stil and let you alone and instead of making wars against you they shall beat their swords and spears and their weapons of war into pruning hooks and the nations shall not learn war any more but I wil make them say come let us go up to Sion and they will teach us their waies O what a bundance of glory wil I give unto thee O Sion that nations far and near shal come up to thee to be taught of thee and indeed they shall have great need for I wil empty all other teachings of men and all shal be barren so that there shal be no perfect rest but to those that come to Sion where I the Lord of host wil be the a lone teacher and wil make them all to know me even from the least to the greatest not only know me and cal me God because of my power being seen in that I have made the heavens and the earth for this knowledge of me all men have yet they are ignorant of what I am which my people that dwel in Sion shal know they shal see me in my glory and know me what and where I be they shal see me every where and know that I am in every thing and that the whole world is but a garment to cover me from the visible sight of men and thus wil I appear in my people gathering them together where I wil manifest my self unto them and raise them from the dead even all Israel from this death of sin and corcuption and wil make them to be partakers of the second resurrection on which the first death shall have no power and so all Israel even the whole house of Israel shal be gathered together in righteousness and in truth and they shal glory and rejoyce in me even in mount Sion yea even the place where my son Jesus was transfigured and changed so that his raiment became white and glistering and the two Apostles seeing of him in this condition said it is good to be here for the glory that was seen there which was but a resemblance of my gathering my people to Sion and so making them to be as one and when I had so gathered them together in the last daies there to make my glory shine in a more lustrious and glorious manner then ever I did when my son Jesus was on the earth for his being transfigured and shining so bright shews forth abundance of light and glory that shal be manifested to you now in these last daies for as soon as he was in garments that were white and glistering it shewes that I wil appear to be a light and a more excellent light to you then yet I have bin for the glory was so great
at the transfiguration of my son that made his disciples say it was good for them to be there even so shal my appearing in you and glathreing of you together shining in you and among you in so glorious a manner rocking you a sleep in my glory shal make you say it is good for us to be here even in this place where it is thy pleasure we shal be for here shal we be in the same condition as the two dissciples were in for at the transfiguring of thy self made them to say it was good for to be here by reason of the more transcendent glory they saw far more then they did before notwithstanding they had a long time bin in Jesus his companie so that notwithstanding those glorious discoveries which you have had of me and those glorious breakings forth of light which hath bin among you wil appear to be nothing in comparison of that light and glory you shal have when you are taken apart from the people as the two Apostles were had in the mount even then shalt thou see a more glorious discovery of me when thou art taken wholy out of Babylon and wholy from all thy enemies and brought up into the mount even into Jerusalem the place which I wil adorne with all manner of precious things as jewels of gold and pearles and precious stones of all sorts and I wil change these glimpes of light and glory which thou now hast and these little sparkes of light into a full and perfect view wherein thou maist see clearly my light and glory and so these sparkes become coales of fire that shall appear in a more fuller manner to thee then ever they did before which wil be in such an extraordinary manner that al things else shal become nothing in comparison of this glory which I wil now make you to see And whereas Jesus was transfigured before his two disciples and they saw him in glory and he was not alone in this condition but they did see Moses and Elias talking with him this is a mistery which shewes that I the Lord of host appearing in my bright and glorious dispensations which wil now be I shal appear alone but as Moses and Elias was with Christ when he was transfigured even so shal Moses and Elias now be with me in my bright appearing to you and not only Moses and Elias but all that have bin my faithful servants even the whole house of Israel shal appear in glory and you shal see and know them that they are Moses and Elias and the rest of my Saints whom I have now raised up to come and be with you and have given them a body as I have seen good and Enoch of old prophesied the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints so now wil I come not only with ten thousand but with all my Saints to gard and keep me company and so wil make my name a glorious name and a memorial for ever and I thus appearing in glory and majesty wil make all my enemies to tremble and to quake when they shal hear that I the Lord doth raign in mount Sion and that I have brought Moses and Elias and all the rest of the prophets thither there for to make thee rejoyce in me the Lord of host clothing them with my self and making them for to appear in glory giving them a revvard that they shal come and be in my love and favour and that they shal now rule over all their enemies and all their enemies shal be but their footstool and they shal now tread and trample that wicked spirit which hath often persecuted them to nothing and so now shal appear to be Kings and conquerours through me that love them here is but a glimps of that glory which you shal enjoy when you come to Sion when you see me and all my Saints with me rejoycing in me and I in them but how ever know this that Sion shall be made the praise of the whole earth and all glory shal be there even all manner of precious things and all the nations shal ly down in their dust and be brought to shame and confusion and the Lord alone shal be exalted and wil magnifie himself and wil get him glory and honour over all his enmies and so wil bring to nothing all those that have opposed him and wil make Sion a scourge and a torment that shal torment all nations when they hear of the love and favour that I wil do to them and when they hear of that glory and beauty that I wil make to shine amongst them and when they hear of that priviledge that I wil give you O you Sion that you shal alwaies rejoyce and sing and shal dwel in peace and he of one heart and of one minde glorying in me and rejoycing in me and blessing your selves in my name and shal see nothing but joy for former things be passed away and all things now become new nothing but righteousnesse dwelling among you and the glory of me the Lord of host overshadowing you and keeping of you from sorrow and weeping having redeemed you out of the hands of them that were stronger then you and have made you now stronger then all your enemies and all shall lick the dust of the soles of thy feet and cal thee the Sion of the Lord the holy one of Israel and whereas thou hast been forsaken that no man went through thee I wil make thee the glory and excellency of many Generations even the joy and delight of the whole world a place wherein there shal be nothing but singing and rejoycing in God even in me the Lord of host who am the All of all things And the Lord said within me behold I looked there appeared three Suns and they were one above another the lowest was not so glorious as the midlemost neither was the midlemost so glorious as the highest for the highest of them did outstrip the other in glory and did shine so gloriously that it did darken and put out the light of both the rest for I did see that the midlemost had put out the light of the first even so that it did scarse shine but the highest did so gloriously shine in such a bright manner that the lesser lights were but darkness to that And I said Lord what meaneth these Suns and one to be so bright over the other and so to darken the rest and my God said that these three Suns hold forth three dispensations one of them more glorious then the rest and as they do appear unto you in glory so did they shine for the time of their being and the first Sun doth hold forth the first dispensation even that which was given by me the Lord of host to Moses even that law that was written in Tables of stone and the children of Israel had amongst them therefore as I did appear to my servant Moses in such away as to give him
people now come with singing and with rejoycing because I have opened their eies and have taken out their stony hearts and have given them hearts of flesh even such hearts as they shall no longer denie that Jesus their Saviour is come but shall confess that he is come and that they have crucified him and so shall see that I have caused them to be in such a condition as they are now in for it was my good pleasure that it should be so but now will I rise and will show my power for to redeem them from this Egyptian bondage they are now in even as I did appear for their fathers of old and did bring them from the land of Egypt by my mightie and strong hand by my servant Moses whom I did stir up for that purpose even so will I make my power seen in all nations by stiring my servants up and also by sending them a leader for to lead them as my sons of old had and as all Kings and great men fell that opposed them even so will I make all for to fall and perish and become as weak as water that so I may bring you into your own land again and all those that hinder you or rise in armes against you shall be drowned in my wrath and sore displeasure even as Pharoah of old was drowned in the red sea so I will set me glory and honour and will make you appear to be Kings and Conquerours through me that love you and so wil bring you into your one land with joy and gladness and there will make you for to ly down in peace and to be at rest when I will torment and trouble all nations that have fought against you and they shall weep and houl and cry out for sorrow of heart but I will make you my Chosen ones and also them whom I wil bring up with you and have called them by my name to come and go up to the height of Sion with everlasting songs singing and rejoycing with abundance of joy in that I have created Jerusalem a joy and her people a rejoycing for I will make a new Heaven and a new earth wherein righteousness shall dwell for I wil make desolation and wil destroy all things that are now at the present and so will make all things new new in respect that I have gathered you out of all countries and have once again brought you into your own land for to make you the joy and the praise of the whole earth and the place and land where I wil in glory delight to dwel and so wil make all your enemies come bowing and bending and submit unto that hath and wil stil bring you in the everlasting joy where all is joy and all shal be joy and peace so that they shal bring even your enemies their treasurs and riches and the fullness of the gentils shall be brought in rejoyce and sing and shout O ye daughters of Jerusalem for behold I will come and will take all sorrow from you and ye shall see evill no more and I will make all your enemies your foot-stool and all evil shal cease from amongst you and I will make the dayes of your mourning to end and so will make everlasting joy to shew it self and you shal sorrow no more behold I come even I that wil save you from all sorrow and from the cruelty of men and wil make bare my holy arm and all the nations shall see the salvation of God even all people shal see and know that I have redeemed you and saved you and have gathered you from among the heathen and have brought you into your own land there for to make you the praise of the whole earth and all the glory of nations shall be brought into it even into that City where nothing but righteousness shall dwell and all dogs and sorcerers and whosoever they be that have not right to the tree of life shal not enter into this City even into this new Jerusalem which shall be made the praise of the whole earth for this Jerusalem consisteth of all the sons and daughters of Sion who shall be brought out of all countries and out of all nations into this land which I have chosen for to make my self a glorious name and so to make my name a terror and a dread to all that come not into this City for without are none but forcerers and such as makes a ly as dogs and such filthy creatures for dogs are a most beastly creature and seem to be a creature good for little even here such as are to be left out are compared to dogs for all dogs are cruel and envious and are ready to destroy themselves by fighting one with another and also their condition is they alwayes are grumbling and snapping one at another as striving for mastery so are these people that are to be left out of this City a people who have given themselves over to rule and domineere over their fellow-creatures and would have all in subjection to them and they would be lords and so would have their fellow-creatures in bondage to them and keep them as servants and bond-men even for to work and labour for them when they themselves have all the joy and pleasure but now even upon such dogs that have risen from Cain and Nimrod the mighty hunter that have hunted and also have catch their fellow-creatures in their snare and so Esau-like would have all in subjection to them even upon such shall my hand fall very heavy as for to plague them and so to punish them that I may make them know that my time is now at hand for to give redemption to my creatures especially to my sons and daughters whom ye Esaus and great men have kept in bondage and slavery and so to make them a joy and rejoicing singing for joy and gladnes of heart where ye Esaus brood that have a long time raigned over them shall be trodden as straw under foot and be fit for nothing but to be left without even without my joy and love because of your sorceries because of your estrangness from me counting all your pleasurs and happines to be in things here below even in outward substance treasuring up gold and silver which hath bewitched you from the truth and would not let you hear that the best and cheifest commandement is for to sell and give to the poor but when this hath buzzed in your eares and your own conscience accusing you for it you have like the young man in the Gospel as you call it which fain would go to heaven and so have rest but loth to fulfil our Saviours command sell that which thou hast and give to the poor and so thou shalt have treasure in heaven as if my son Christ had said do not you think that by observing a little outward way of worship and so walking on in formes and making an outward profession of religion having a
forme of godliness that you shal enter into my rest not knowing that you are bewitch from me in that you make so much of an outward estate as of houses and lands and also of gold and silver wherein you put more trust and confidence then in me therefore it is but just for me the Lord of host to deal or to give you such a hard lesson for you to learn sell all thou hast and give to the poor for they have need of it even of my mony houses and lands which if you do not you are like to incur my sore displeasure and so to be deprived of my rest for not submitting to this my command which is one of the greatest commandements as that thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self but O thou proud Esau and haughty Lucifer that exalts thy self above thy fellow-Creatures what saies thou to this do I command thee for to sel that which thou hast and give to the poor and thou instead of doing so dost quite contrary even the oppress them and cousen and cheat them and bring them before the judgement-seat haling them to prisons do you think for this that I will be as wel pleased with you as if you had done what I commanded you to do sell that which thou hast and thou shalt have treasure in heaven which if thou dost not I will shut thee out of my love and favour and so thou shall not enter into the citty wherein my glory shall be manifested and made for to out-shine all the glory of the world because thou art disobedient to me and wilt not love thy neighbour as thy self according as I have commanded thee to do but dost still persist in hording up of corn and mony and all the best of the things of the world for thy own private use and so will not give to the poor but doth count thy honour for to have abundance of the riches of this world and wil live very gallantly go in the best and eat of the best when thy fellow-creatures have none of the worst whom I love as well as you but O! thou proud Esau that exalts thy self above thy fellow-creatures I wil reason with you how or wherein dost thou fulfil my wil I commanded thee for to sell that thou hast and give away but that thou hast not done thou wilt have houses and lands of thy own and gold and silver in bags and chests when others have none and wil not if you hear one of your fellow-creatures cry for the Lord sake give me something you wil turn your eares from the crying of the poor and wil tel a ly too and say you have nothing when you have something though they asked in my name yet you wil not give though I command thee for to give all that thou hast but thou wilt make a ly to save that which I have commanded thee even all you that have abundance to give unto thy fellow-creatures for lyers are and shal be without and again how dost thou love thy neighbour as thy self when thou eatest of the best and drinks of the best and wears of the best and lives at ease freeing your selves from hard labour which thy poor neighbours are made for your cruelty over them to undergo therefore consider this left I take you away from your own pleasures as you cal it from eating of the best and drinking and wearing of the best and instead of it give you ragges to put on and the worst for you to eat and drink even curse your dainty things and make all things become gall and worm-wood because you break this commandement of mine love thy neighbour as well as thy self which if you did fulfil which is my pleasure you should then would you give to your poor neighbours such things as your selves have if you your selves have rost-meat then would you give them rost-meat or see that they have rost-meat if you your selves have good drink then would you see that they should not drink water but have good drink if you your selves have good cloaths then would you see that they should have good cloaths and so would not let them go naked but would be like my servant Job give bread to the hungry and clothes to the naked if you your selves have ease and rest from labour then you would not see them labour like horses and take no pitty of them neither would you then give your selves over to be so cruell and hard hearted as to make slaves of your fellow creatures whom I command you to love as wel as your selves but here you may see how you slight me and how little you regard me instead of doing what you should do you do that you should not I command you for to love your neighbour and instead of my command you hate your neighbour but do you think this may serve my turn or that I wil be pleased for you to do so as you do no I wil not be pleased with you unless you fulfil my commandements as in love thy neighbour as well as thy self which if you did you would â—â—â—â—â—…te them but you may say they are my enemies and shal I love them as wel as my self though they are your enemies it is my pleasure that you should love them as wel as your self love your enemies saith my son Christ bless them and pray for them that you may shew your selves to be like my father which is in heaven but if you do not love your enemies neither your neighbour it shewes that you do not fulfil my command neither are you like me who loves all and causes my rain to rain on the unjust as well as on the just but you cannot abide to hear of these things to let your neighbours be as your selves by reason of that proud flesh that rules and domineers in you as to make you think better of your selves then you are Esau-like ruling and domineering over Iacob but I will cut you short and wil make you notwithstanding you go to Church and here Sermons and have your children baptized as you call it and observe Sunday that you have disobeyed my voice and have not walked humbly with mee and so you are no other but sorcerers such as must not come into my place where I will make my name known more then in any place which shall be Jerusalem the citty of the living King whether I will gather my sons and daughters out of all countries to go thither and you that have loved to make a ly shall be shut cut even with dogs and sorcerers and so having no right to the tree of life must not enter into the citty but they that have right to the tree of life shall enter in even into my rest and joys for the Jerusalem which I have built and wil gather my sons and daughters thither for to be tire place which I have appointed to be the glory of the earth and all the nations of the
my ovvn povver bring my vvife vvhich are the Jevvs and Gentils vvhom I have chosen into Judea and so wil set them above all hils even upon the proud hil and they shal rule over the proud hil-flesh and fleshlyness even over al the nations and all the greatness of the earth shal be as nothing in my sight in comparison of them even my chosen ones whom I have purposed for to bring out of the countries where now they be under their enemies and so wil free them from their oppressors and so they shal be by my mighty power brought into a Canaan of rest again I the eternal God even the infinite Iehovah by whom all things subsist and have a being and I only am the life of all things therefore be ye not now as you was before in bondage to weak and beggerly elements and so to be led about by the tradition and rudiments of this world which shal perish and come to nothing but arise and shine for thy light is come and the glory of I the Lord of host is risen upon thee arise from all those foolish things even from all things that you have lived in below me arise I say from out of the dust of the earth and from that darkness which ye have formerly lain in arise I say from all death and sin and from every thing that hath kept thee at a distance from me and arise from all and every one of thy enemies whom I have stricken with fear and with terror and whom I have made to be afraid arise I say even ye O Jewes who are by nature the true olive branches and once were broken off because of unbeliefe that the Gentiles might be grafted in arise I say from that unbeliefe to believe on me yea I say thou shalt be grafted in again notwithstanding the unbelief and hardness of heart and though thou hast bin as a woman grieved in spirit and forsaken having lost thy first husband yet thou shalt now be found again and instead of mourning and garments of sackcloth I wil cloath thee with joy and gladness of heart and thou shalt mourne no more for the daies of the mourning shall be at an end and instead of garments of sackcloth I wil adorne thee with ornaments and with jewels even the best and chiefest among all the rich treasures that can be found thou shalt be adorned with for I do bid thee arise from all former troubles and sorrows whatsoever thou hast bin subject unto even from all manner of slavery as being servants and subject to the pleasures of Kings and other great men yea from the Pope and Turke arise saith the Lord of host for thy redeemer cometh that shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob even all those things that you in my absent have busied your selves about shal now be destroyed and all yea whatsoever it is must now by my bright appearing be brought to nothing and confounded that I the Lord of host may be all things therefore arise from death yea every thing that you have bin acted in arise from them for the time of the resurrection is now come that you shal be raised from a condition of sorrow and trouble and slavery and death it self into a condition of joy and gladness of heart and of life it self whereas formerly you have bin at the command of men and so they have had their wils of you it shal no longer be so with you now in this day of the resurrection but on the contrary you shal instead of being their servants and at their commands becom lords over them and they shal withall their treasures come bowing and bending unto you such is the alteration that I wil now make here on earth to redeem you out of the hands of your cruel enemies and to bring you into my promised land the place where formerly I did make out my glory and my name to your Fathers of old which was the people whom I did chuse out of all nations and so did bring them into that Land where I did make my power and my name known which was but a type of that glory which I wil now make known unto you to my chosen servants the Gentils whom I wil bring with you into this place where I the Lord of host doth intend to hold forth my glory in a more powerful manner then ever I have done as yet and in a far more glorious manifestation of my self then ever I have done as yet even in so clear a discovery of my self to you whom I wil bring up into the place of my glory and the place where I wil make my self known and as formerly all were subject to my servant David who was King of the Jewes even so shal all people be subject to you whom I have appointed to bring into Judea for this is your resurrection I wil now raise you from all sorrow and trouble and so wil set you free from all your enemies and wil make you the praise of the whole earth and al the nations shal see and know that I have chosen Judea to be the place of my rest where I wil make my stocks to ly down at noon dayes even in the heat of the misery of the nation wil I make the Jewes and the Gentils whom I wil bring up by my mighty power shal ly down and be at rest and so be in quietness and so wil cause the work of righteousness to increase and it shal take effect and the fwork of rightousness shal be quietness and assurance for ever for or my people even for you O lewes and Gentils whom I wil bring up into Judea and my people shal dwel in peaceable and quiet habitations even in such peace and quietness after this first resurrection that al your enemies shal be destroyed from you and shal not be suffered to come to you or against you by no meanes for there shal not be a Canaanite in my house even in this city Jerusalem or in the limits of your abode but I the Lord of host wil destroy them al that you may be at rest and so enjoy me without any let or hinderance at al for wil I graft thee into the vine again and so wil raise thee up to thy former condition even to be my peculiar and choice ones to whom I wil make out my self in a glorious dispensation and manifestation of my love and favour once again so that I wil make all thy sorrovvs to be forgotten by reason of so glorious an enjoyment of me vvho am the Alpha and Omega and hath novv raised you up from from the dead and from a condition of darkness into light Arise and not only arise but shine make it appear by your condition that you are not only risen from the dead but you have also light come into you therefore shine and be not so dark as you have bin when you were dead and in your enemies hands no but
be on the contrary shine hold forth the glory of me your creator and redeemer who have ransomed you from the hands of them that were stronger then you shine and let my glory be seen upon you for they shal be afraid of you that hate you shine ye therefore and be like so many stars that shines in the Firmament and glister like so many as the only people that are redeemed from death to light for thy light is come I am your life and light and by being absent from you your condition was a condition of death and darkness and you were compassed about with abundance of sorrow by being scattered abroad in the world but I who am your life and light even I the mighty God of Jacob am now risen to bring you into your own country even together ö daughter of Sion shout and rejoyce and cry aloud Sing and make merry and be glad in your King who am now Risen with mighty power for to bring you into your own land therefore rejoyce and sing for thy light is come Sion that vvas scattered abroad but now shal be gathered into your own country even into Judea for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you even my glory is risen upon thee for to bring thee out of a strange country and as Pilgrims and sojourners into your country there for to make my glory and light shine and rest upon thee for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even upon thee ö captive daughter of Sion for to make you see and know that I have purposed to bring you into your own country once again and there to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the earth to see and know my power by which I do things saith I the Lord of host who hath caused my glory for to arise upon thee for you have now a more surer word of prophesie to which you do well to take heed as to a light that shineth in a darke place until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts this was given to the church in that age who was to observe the word of the Apostles then and at that time they being but babes and children so had a rule for to walk by which rule the Apostle bids them take heed unto that they walke by it for how long even saith the same Apostle until the day break until there be some further appearance of light a more glorious dispensation then now is and the day star in your harts that is until you do see know God dwelling in you and so do see know Christ who is the bright and morning star to be one with the Father Son holy Ghost but one God dwelling in you who is your life and strength and so to see this God in love to be your All and in all and the very life of all things til then you being weake have had need of a writen rule to walke by but now you have no longer need of any thing to walk by no not the Scripture to walk by for I even your King and Lord wil be unto you Scripture and Law and rule and ways and formes of worships yea I wil be all arise and shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even my glory shall now shine upon thee for to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the joy of all the nations arise and shine for behold darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people arise shine your condition wil and shal be happy saith I the Lord of host who hath made my glory to shine upon you even upon you ö Sion whom I wil gather into Judea from amongst other people but I wil tel you one thing even you whom I do gather up into Judea for behold this darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people even when you shal see light and walk in light and have light to be your guide and have my glory shining upon you even then shal others the earth be covered with darkness for there shal be no clear light and sun shining upon the earth even upon those that come not up to worship me the Lord of host in Jerusalem but instead of light there shal be darkness and instead of breaking forth of light there shal be a mist and a cloud that shal overspread it self for a while so that they that go not up to Jerusalem shal not have that clear light neither shal they see and know that glory which I wil and shal make out to you ö Sion for you ö Sion shal eat and drink and be ful and have the bread of life and water of life when they that come not up shal be in want and shal be hungry when Sion shal be ful for I wil take away all their food even their formes and wayes of worship and wil utterly destroy them and bring them to nothing for these things as forms of worship have they had some comfort in using them but I wil leave these dispensations wherein I have formerly appeared and wil make darkness cover the earth in this sence for I wil deprive them of all their formes and Church governments for I wil forsake them and they shal receive no benefit by them even darkness shal cover them that they shal not see light in them even gross darkness even such a darkness wil and shal light upon poor creatures that walke by forms and so think to be carried to heaven upon the sholders of their Priests but darkness yea such darkness that both Priest and people shal be amased for they shal be driven out of their common-road and so shal be forced to seek a new way even this darkness shal light upon those that are malicious and ful of envy and so would of a sudden destroy their fellow creatures darkness wil and shal overcome such for though they preach and pray yet al wil not save them but that they must be destroyed and brought to nothing for saith the Lord of host darkness shall cover the earth there wil be no clear sight of God and no clear sight of my way for they shal not come to my knowledge and so to the enjoyment of me here or in any place but where Sion shal be gathered together even my people whom I have raised from the dead and so wil bring them up to Sion at Ierusalem the City where formerly I dwelt which is in Judea and there I wil make them shine and be the glory of the whole earth and after this first resurrection that they shal have for to be raised from a condition of death and slavery into a condition of joy and life where the Second death shal have no power over them for this is the resurrection wherein I wil set you free from all death and you shal dy no more for I wil be your life and you
of captivity and bondage into the place of rest or to that place which I wil make to be the resting place for thy light shal increase and grow bigger and bigger when all other lights shal be put out for I am the light even I the Lord of host who wil make you to shine most illubriously and gloriously even so bright that the Gentiles even my chosen ones whom I have made much of my glory out unto they shal see and know that your light doth not shine there because it is my pleasure for to make my light shine upon you even upon the Jewes who through unbelief were broken off and Gentiles were grafted in but now I wil appear unto them and wil give them hearts to believe on my name and so wil make them the desires of all nations even all nations shal long and desire for to come to thy light because my glory shal be seen upon thee when I have forsaken all other administrations besides this of mine which I wil make more illustriously to shine even to draw up my sons and daughters into spiritual communion with my self and so they shal worship me in spirit and in truth and Kings shal come in even great men of the Gentiles shal be with you for Kings shal come to the brightness of thy rising even when thou hast risen from that death which thou art for the present subject to so that thy brightness shal appear in a more extraordinary manner then now it doth even then shal kings be brought to see thy rising and to behold thy glory by my bright appearing and manifesting my glory unto you then shal thy glory far surpass all the glory and beauty of the world besides and none shal be like to thee for beauty and comliness for I wil make thee to shine so gloriously that thou shalt dazle the eyes of all the earth and all the earth shal stand and be amazed at thee for the kings that shal come to thee shal be such whom I have or shal crown with my love and favour and so my love shal cause them to come to the brightness of thy rising even thine O Iewes who are by nature descended from Abraham and so are Hebrewes and are and shal be made the praise and glory of all nations for these Kings shal see no light and comfort besides I the Lord of host and therefore shal they be brought to thy rising and shal see I the Lord of host in a more especial manner appear to you in Ierusalem whom I wil cause to be inhabited and made the praise of the whole earth in such glory as they shal not be able to tarry behinde but shal come to the brightness of thy rising even when the nations of the earth shal see that I the Lord of host hath raised thee up from that poor estate and condition that thou art now in even from death and slavery and so from darkness into a most glorious condition â—nd so to make thee shine most bright and clear O Sion and daughter of Ierusalem that was a poor and peeled remnant scattered abroad in al the world evenwhen I thy God shal raise thee up from this condition make my glory to bee seen upon thee then shalt thou be enquired after even by kings and great men who shal stand amazed at thy glory and honour where with I wil honour thee in this thy day from the resurrection from the dead which I wil raise thee nito a condition of life and peace which shal be the first resurrection from the dead and so no more darkness or any longer shal Satan or death have power over thee but thou being raised from the dead shal now live and raigne with me a thousand years which thousand years shal be for ever even to eternity and Satan shal never have any power over thee O Sion the praise of the whole earth but thou shal sing and rejoyce and shal go with singing and rejoycing when others shal be thrown into hel even to be deprived of my love and favour which I wil shew unto thee O daughter of Sion whoâ— I wil gather into the Land of Judea and without shal be those that shal apprehend me to be angry with them and so their own consciences witnessing against them and accusing of them wil condemn them for their unbeliefe and hardness of heart and so their hel shal be by being pricked in their own consciences that they have offended me and so shal suffer by the reason they condemn themselves and so shal be in hel because they shal not have any joy or comfort from me to them that I am a God of love to them and even this portion shal those drinke of that stiles themselves to be ministers and are sent to preach by me the Lord of host and they know not me neither can they by all their humane wisdome or Phylosophie attaine to the mistery which I wil make out unto them whom I shal be pleased for to do even for to make out my power and name and so to cause them to see my glory which I wil hide from the learned ones of the world and wil make choice of the unlearned and so wil make them to run when I send them to do my message even as I stirred up poor herds-men and trades-men before the Gospel in the old times and in the primitive times when I refused the Priests pharisees and leaders of the people in those daies and so those that pretend to be the heads and leaders of the people as Priests and Lawyers even they shal drink deeper then any of my sore displeasure because their consciences wil accuse them and so condemn them for not doing that which they know they should do and so they shal with the rest be thrown into the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is not meant material fire or brimstone but is meant the apprehensions which the ungodly shal have of me who am a burning consuming fire not aprehending I their God to be a God of love and peace which thou daughter of Sion whom I wil bring with joy into Ierusalem wil cause it to be built up in glory so wil make you for to inhabite there shal do by my rising upon you causing of you to shine so to be glorious in all the earth Lift up thine eies round about and see all they gather themselves together they come to thee thy sons shal come from far and thy daughters shal be nursed at thy sides Oye my Sons and daughters whom I wil bring up into Judea even you that are by nature Jewes and so are natural Iewes lift up your eies behold looke and behold and see all they gather themselves together even the Gentiles gather themselves together for to come up to thee O Sion whom I have gathered in Judea and have made the praise of the earth even for the glory wherewith I wil glorifie
in me and so willingly to receive me now I proffer my self to them to be their king and they shal think him now happie that shal come in the name of the Lord and shal crie Hosanna in the highest that is they shal willingly receive instructions from I the Lord of host whom they wait for and whom they do expect daily for to hear of some tha shal say the Lord of host cometh for to redeem them out of all their enemies countries and to bring them into their own Land again which tidings of their returne they shal have from England first and how the God of Iacob wil appear to be their God and so they shal see and know that their redeemer cometh and made himself known to some English men for to bring them word even the Iews that are dispersed about in Holland and Spaine Germany and Italy and how it is the pleasure of I the Lord of host for to put my spirit of courage and valiantness for to make you that are dispersed in these countries as Holland France Spaine Germany Italy gather your selves together and so to meet all of you and these whom I shal send out of England to you for to meet in the year fifty one now a coming on in Italy and I wil be your rock and your strength and wil in cheife be your leader so that you shal not fear what man shal do unto you for I have purposed and it shal surely come to pass that I wil bring you to Ierusalem and not only you but all the rest that are dispersed of you in other countries even for to make you the praise of the whole earth and I wil stir up armies that shal fight for you so that I wil bring you safely into your own countreys and wil make the Gentiles come with their gold and silver to you and you shal be honourable and all your enemies that wil not serve you shal perish for that nation and kingdom that wil not serve thee shal perish yea those nations shal be utterly wasted even the most proudest and stoutest king or governour shal be destroyed even al their armies shal come to nothing for it is my pleasure to bring down the high and mighty one and so to lay him low even wil I not favour any but wil bring them all down to the ground yea I wil bring down that potent enemie that doth so highly exalt himself and he shal come to nothing even the Pose of Rome I mean and before the fifty five years that is now present a coming he shal be destroyed even the Pope of Rome shal lose his life in 1654. and so I the Lord wil make known my power by cutting off great ones and by bringing them to nothing and so wil make them all come bending and bowing to my sons and daughters whom I wil bring to Ierusalem and because it is my pleasure that it should be so I even I the Lord of host wil appear for to confound my enemies and those that have bin enemies to my people the Jews even that proud Turk that rules and domineers now shal be before the year fifty seven consumed destroyed the great head turk shal lose his life in the year 1656 and so there shal never after him nor never any more Pope be but there shal be such alterations and changes that things present and have bin by custome of long standing turned upsides once again that I may make Ierusalem the praise of the whole earth whose gates shal be continually open and shal not be shut day or night that men may bring unto them even unto the new Ierusalem the forces of the Gentiles even such abundance there shal be that shal be brought in for to be your fellows and brethren one and of the same Citty that the places which I formerly gave unto your Fathers for their inheritances shal be enlarged and strangers shal build your Citty even the wals of your Cities even such shal build them up for you that shal not inhabite there and Kings shal minister unto you and shal bring their riches unto you though you shal have no need of any yet it is my pleasure so much to magnifie you that I wil make my self appear to be glorious in you even in the midst of you and wil make people say of a truth that God is in you and so to acknowledge that you are the seed which the Lord hath blessed and so to make them see and know that I the Lord of host am in you even in you all ruling in you and making all your enemies become subject to you But I must tel you that I wil not appear personally for to raign over you and so to give you laws to walk by no but I wil raign in you and I the God of truth wil be in you and I wil teach you how you shal walk by putting my laws in your inward parts and in writing of them in your hearts and so wil speake in you and wil also make you for to worship me in spirit and in truth not in outward formes as now you do for the glory of Lebanon shal come unto thee and the Box tree and the Fir tree shal come together to beautifie the place of my Sanctuary and so to make my feet glorious such is the worke of I the Lord of host that I wil make the very glory of the world be brought to Sion even for to make them glorious and I wil make the place of thy feet glorious ö Sion and all the sons of them the feet that afflicted thee shal come bowing and bending to the soles of thy feet and shal cal thee the Sion the Citty of the Lord the holy one of Israel such a great work wil I do for thee ö Sion that I wil make thee have power over al thy enemies and none shal be able for to oppose thee but all shal be brought to nothing and confounded yea even they shal be in such terror and fear now that they shal submit themselves to thee and cal thee even thee O Sion whom I wil gather to Jerusalem the Citty of the Lord even of I the Lord of host And whereas thou hast bin forsaken so that no man went through thee even thee O Ierusalem that hath been laid wast I wil now of a sudden make thee an eternal excellency a joy of many generations even I wil make thee to be so glorious that thou shalt be the glory and joy of Nations for thou shalt be freed from sorrow and trouble and vexation of spirit and shal live in peace and be at peace rejoicing in I the Lord of host when others shal be troubled and vexed to think that they do not partake of the same glory wherewith I have and wil glorifie thee and thou shalt also suck the milke of the Gentiles even that joy and comfort which formerly they had of me when I did
earth even the great men as wel as Kings and nobles and others that heap up corn and money they shal bring their treasures and jewels thither and I wil make them to rejoyce in me and I wil joy over them and rejoyce in the midst of them I will be their God and they shall be my people even my chosen and peculiar ones in whom I have delighted to dwel and wil dwel and make them to be ful of joy and glory even the glory of all the world and all the world shal become subject to me I the Lord of host in my people in my bride and spouse and chosen peculair ones in whom I wil manifest my self to be a God of power dwelling in them and they shal dwel in me and they shal know that I the Lord of host dwel in them and wil make them to be a terror and a dread to all people and all people that shal hear of my infinite goodness which I wil manifest to them shal even weep and houl and knaw their tongues for pain and anguish which shal fal upon them being sensible of that joy pleasure delight and glory of that love and favour which I wil make out to my chosen peculier ones and nothing shal more torment them then the seeing and beholding my almightinesse ruling in them making others to be as nothing in comparison of them this I say shal torment you even you O proud and stout ones that are loth to be pulled out of your throns of glory as to be deprived of that self fleshly ruling power which in you but though thou art to be deprived of it yet thou shalt even of a sudden yea in an hour when thou art ready to cry peace peace and so to flatter thy self in thy own fleshly pampe to strive after riches and honour and so to get thy self a great name as when you have a bundance of oxen and cowes and two or three Farmes and perhaps bushels of money keeping poor creatures under you even thy fellow creatures thus crying peace and see no likelyness of a change thou wilt not be mindeful of what I send unto you but wil make slight of this businesse not remembring Paules expressions when you cry peace peace behold sudden destruction is upon you even a consumption to all your outward glory for a fire is kindling from me the Lord of host which shal enter into you and burn you until all things are according to my wil and pleasure for this fire is my spirit which shal burn up all your fleshly pompe and riches and houses and shal bereave you of all your gods even your gods of gold and silver and of worships and houses and lands which you have made Iodls of even I the Lord of host wil consume your glory and honour and wil lay it to the dust and thou self-interest that saies this is mine and that is mine shal utterly be consumed by my bright appearing and I wil make you throw away your idols of gold and silver and also your lands which now you possess and your oxen and horses and all things I wil make you say they are the all of all things even mine the eternal God and so say to your fellow creatures whom now we have made slaves of we have nothing of our own for if this be not sufficient warrant or message for to make you relieve the widdow and the fatherless and so disperse abroad telling of them it is yours and not mine I wil come with a far greater torment and will appear in such fury that I will make you think that you see the devil standing by you at all times tormenting you and plaguing you because you do not give up therefore give up before I destroy you in my wrath and fury for I am now risen to cal all my stewards to an account even you mighty ones unto whom I have lent much but finding of you to be very cruel to your fellow-creatures and that you have not dealt faithfully with them I come to judge you and to cal you to an account for your wickedness is so often in my eares that I can stay no longer therefore I pass this sentence against you O rich men that I wil utterly destroy you and bring you to nothing yea I wil torment you day and night that so I may make you know that the last dayes are now at hand which my servant Paul spake of even the day is now at hand that they that are married shall be as if they were not and they that use the world as if they used it not why so as if you should say the same Apostle gives a reason for sayes he the fashion of this world passeth away O you rich men leave off hording of gold and silver least the rust and canker rises in your conscience and so makes you hang or drown your selves and so you run your selves into a pit of misery even into hell for the married shal be as if they were unmarried that is I by my bright appearing wil so powerfully manifest my self that i wil be a sharpe two edged sword cutting and devouring in sunder all the waies that have bin acted contrary to me that is now on foot for I wil gather my own together from the power of their enemies that if any of mine whether man or woman be joined together to one that is of my stock nor wil have no heed to my voice if it be a man he may freely leave his wife if a woman she may freely leave her husband and in my sight do it lawfully because the time is now at hand that those that are married are as if they were unmarried I for this end and purpose even I the Lord of host wil have it to be so that I may seperate the just and unjust that I may gather my sons and daughters out from amongst their hateful enemies and bring them into their own countrie which shal be the Jerusalem that now lies wast but it shal be inhabited once again and made to be the praise of the whole earth therefore flee every one of you out of Babylon for her judgements are great and reaches to the skies and go you up into your own countrie and there declare the praises of God first I would have my people go out of Babylon which if they do they must not tarry here or in any place wherein I do not appear for to speak to them but come you my sons and daughters out of Babylon your captivity and bondage and come with me out of this confusion and out of these false waies and governments and formes of worships for I must pour out my judgement upon them all and I wil plague all them that wil hinder you from doing my wil as to keep you that you shal not come from them even every thing that they have shal be a divel to them especially to those that do not give up
