secure thee from all beleaguerings hiding thee within the Pavilion of his Power To this oh my Soul do thou enter and for ever rely for here is hiding from the Serpent's Eye August the 31st 1676. Upon these sweet Words of Counsel and Emanations I sprung out in Prayer renewing my Vows formerly made pouring forth the Oyl of Joy and Gladness upon Jacob's Pillar which is the standing Witness betwixt me and Jehovah Nissah Henceforth resolving to adventure only with Jacob's Staff in my Hand finding fresh Power animating my Faith so that I neither feared Famine Nakedness or any Distress that could happen Being resolved to abide where my Lot was cast and to go thro' with my Associate with whom the Spirit of Caleb was to proceed and to go forward unanimously with me till we might reach to the high Calling and Apostolical Power which I felt mightily impulsing to hazard the loss of all reckoning nothing of Validity or worth making Interest for but that which spoken of hath been yet reserved for us in the Everlasting Treasury Whereto upon all accounts I will apply my self for thereout will be given to that Eye which waiteth steadily Which was assured and confirmed to me from that Example of Moses his Hands being held up The Lord said to me if ye will be prevailing Conquerors over your deadly undermining Soul-destroying Foes your Hands of Faith must at no time fall down but when you find them heavy call in Aaron and Hur the Spirit of Prophecy and Prayer which props up and maintains the Affiance still to rest upon the Stone of Strength and Almightiness by which great Conquest and Success will come to be witnessed Thus happy shall ye be in holding out firmly because the Shield of your help shall tread down all strength for you September the 1st 1676. THe Doctor this Morning Praying with me the Word said while he was in Prayer Here is a Ship in full Sail directing to that Prophetical Blessing which was pronounced upon Zebulun whose dwe●…ing should be at the Haven where all rich freighted Ships should unload themselves September the 3d. 1676. This Morning considering of some Passages which were read to me of a Fore-runner who had wonderful things by Vision revealed unto him with which I was much affected they being so weighty much answering to what I did believe might be brought to pass according to the Spirit of Prophecy who did see into the same Mystery of Christ coming While I was Praying in my self for to see this wonderful Time a Pair of Ballances was put forth by a Hand as out of a Cloud where appeared a great Roll writ upon within and a Golden Ball or Globe These in each Scale were weighed The Golden Globe immediately carried the Scale down and thus it was said Vision is not so weighty as Fruition These Writings are as the Bonds of Obligation but the subsisting thing is from this solid Body which turns Vision into Fruition which set thy Heart chiefly upon September the 4th 1676. After this passed I considered how to be changed into this Globe of unmixed solid matter groaning after the contaction of his Heavenly material thing which in Vision I had seen Then heard I Wisdom's Word to cry within me saying Thy Mind must be cast into a new Mold of Imagination that so thy thoughts may come to answer mine That Scripture being brought to me Let the unrighteous Man forsake his thoughts and turn to his God At this Word I said Oh my Lord who can nullify and put a stop to his own thoughts which is a connexion to his Life For every sight of the Eye and hearing of the Ear doth stir up and awaken these Essences therefore there is no possibility of stopping the current of them but they will run their Course as the Sun Moon and Stars in their Order will Under whose Constellations while we are living such common thoughts wil●… arise which though not wholly evil ye●… because they are not holy and perfectly good they cannot be according to what proceeds from the Heart of God who would that our Thoughts and Ways should be like unto his This case I presented before my God and my Lord Jesus to be answered September the 5th 1676. Who the next day thus resolved me saying As thou hast desired that great sublime change which is the Transmutation into the pure solid Body so know thou that for the obtaining of this there must of necessity be a superimaginariness from which fanned are all chaffy Cogitations For such is the Man as the Conceptions of his Mind are Now this is only on thy part to do whereby the circulation of profuse Imaginations may be stopped when wisely and foreseeingly thou dost prevent all occasions which administer such hard matter for such a muddy Spring to generate it self into such Multiplicities as generally fill the whole House of the Mind I Jesus do therefore come to be thy anointed Eye that so thou mayst discern the thoughts of thy Heart what to imbrace and what to forsake For know that a thought is a more considerable thing then hitherto ye have understood for their Nature are most subtle swift Spirits who numerate as the Sand upon the Sea-shore so as they make a World invisible in every Creature From whence first come all Wars Insurrections and Mutations these being first inkindled from the Fire-flash which openeth from its own center which divideth it self part into the Evil and part into the Good For so it is now that two Sources are opened in every Creature his Will standing free being redeemed out of the necessity as adhering to the Earthly the treasury of the Heavenly being free to resort to But that part from whence the pure River doth bubble up and spring multipying divine Conception is a very deep Well into which the Will-Spirit doth launch s●…nking down into the Depths before it can fetch up those precious Thoughts which work from the Source of all pure Deity They will through an habitual Course so unite as to rise up like an Army of great Might able to put the other to flight Here is the great Conquest to subdue every Thought and first to bring down these high Towers of the imaginary part Demolish but these and you will do your work to purpose Now that ye may be wise to know how to stop this muddy Source observe these following Rules Rules for the Government of the Imagination First Wind out of all occasions which from this World may minister and present fruitless and unnecessary Objects and Things which will kindle Essences according to their empty and profuse Likeness Secondly Keep thy self much within thy Holy Temple and Holy Place of Silence where the Trinity with their whole train delight for to descend with whom being much conversant the sight of the Eye and the hearing of the Ear within this Heavenly Sphear will both beget nourish and maintain pure Cogitations Thirdly Thou wilt see feel and know
