into himself the whole Body of the Sonship which is the height and luster of that Kingdom which is to come and is to be yielded up to the one God who is over all Not that he will be a living Tabernacle to all but only to those who are meetly qualified Who are they then who may expect to be rearers up of this Tabernacle which the Majesty of the Glory will fill They are pure holy and separated Souls set apart for this very purpose bearing the Inscription of Heavenly Magicians as being principled in that great Mystery and being made all knowing through the friendly Counsel and Revelation of the Virgin-Wisdom who is the great Revealer of these Mystical Sciences and Magical Arts such as were practised before this World or its Craft were in being But now the Wisdom of this World is needed and universally exercised by all ranks and degrees under the present Fall Regenerate and Unregenerate do both agree in this matter and do make use of Reason for the supply succour and support of the mortal Spirit and Body But what will you say if this good old Magical way from which the whole Creation is turned shall in this last Age be restored and found again for the redeeming out of the Care Sorrow and painful Exercise of Mind and Body This will be worth lending an Ear to it being such a mysterious and advantagious Art as will sufficiently pay the Cost of what we shall be out in attaining it The ground we go upon for this new way of living after a God-like manner are the many Scripture-Prophecies that run all in this Sense with which agrees what is of late-renewed to some who are waiting for their Lot within this New Paradisical Scene being under the Dispensation of such Revelations as are in order to give entrance into the Tabernacle of God where it will be natural to produce all things Magically beginning first to exercise this Mystical Wisdom and Power upon it self as having an old Creation which must be dissolved that a new one may take its place The Physitian must first give proof that he can heal himself before he undertake others So in this matter the true Magus is taught to make a tryal of his skill upon his own inward and outward Defects and thereby gain the Fearful and Unbelieving that they also may come and enter through this everlasting Gate where the New Jerusalem Magicians are in their first Paradisical Callings which the holy Ghost hath received Commission to put some holy qualified Souls afresh upon that they may be leading Presidents to others But it may be further enquired What this Magia is And how it may be acted forth to alter the whole state of things Internally and Externally It is thus made out to us That it is arising Infinitum that forms it self into a Birth the matter of which can no otherwise be described than the unknown Beeing of God himself who is a meer virtual working Power in a finite Beeing from whence a flowing source of generating Powers do act forth from what lieth hid so unconceiveably as cannot be either seen felt or heard out of it self but only as it produceth great and marvelous Effects upon whatever it doth move This is that which is called the Magia of the holy Ghost so defined as he hath pleased to reveal it unto us Now it remains to enquire By whom and how this is to be acted forth and for what end it is to be manifested after such an high degree As to the first By whom this is to be exerted or acted forth of this much hath been said already we shall only mention one thing which is the principal Qualification of those to whom this Honour shall be given viz. They are to take up a firm and fixed Resolution to follow this Magical Vocation only and to reject all others that proceed from the Astral Birth that do pour in whole Floods to drown the little spark of Faith from whence the Magia Tree must first grow and appear in all its various Fruits This I say is that which is to be done on our parts as we would be Adeptists in the supersensual working Wheel which will run us into our lost Dominion to be in God again But then watchfulness is required to repel and judge down every whirling Motion and Thought that shall rise to thwart the Magia Way which indeed is nothing else but a most pure single act of Faith heightned to that degree as to become a kind of Omnipotency if they can but get free from the Life of Sense which is its great and home-born Enemy which will hardly suffer the Soul to make its pass away but follows still at the Heels till the Hand of Faith grows strong enough to use the Magical Rod which may break their binding Circle that so we may get a swist pass into the boundless Liberty and some to be expert in the Theosophical Science which is not of Man nor after any rational Wisdom of Man but as the pure fiery Breath of the holy Ghost doth incorporate with the Fire-Essence of the Soul and so drive it up into a Body of all-Magical operation For the free actuation of which Life we are warned to cease from all other ways and employs and upon this only to fix our Minds and to stop our Ears to the pleas and cryes of the Senses that would still have us to lie at the Breast of the Creature when-as nothing but Death Sorrow and the Curse can be sucked from it It is indeed but natural so to do as long as we stand in the first Birth from which it will be hard to get loose till the other come to rise in the Soul's center For in this second Birth there is a strong force which is able to overcome and break that Yoke which hath been so often near strangling this Magical Birth of Life that it could not display its free Breath wherefore let us now take heed and ny away from our mortal Senses and totally exclude them from that new erected Throne Council and Court wherein pure Austraction and Child-like posture of Spirit we may wait to learn how to act forth each one according to his Gift in this high land supernatural Magia That we may speak out what Lineage and Birth we are brought forth in after Gods own likeness in Power Wisdom and Purity to glorifie him in a new Tabernacle-Body Magically raised which being consummated within the outward form of visible Corporeity the unchangeable Priesthood begins within the most holy Place and is carried on not as in the figurative and fleshly Administration wherein was need of Attonements and Offerings for Sin which in this great and more perfect Tabernacle there will be no occasion for Sin being ended and the holy Ghost having obtained a more excellent Ministration in us to wit Offering the first Fruits of Redemption which in no fore-going Ministration was ever reached unto
out of request both as to spiritual Wares or bodily Sustenance as soon as some Virgin-Passengers shall have entred this Gate who shall be so highly favoured for having here broke through that they shall have liberty to open this high Factory to the rest of their fellow-Members that yet are Captives in the Assyrian Land and were there brought up according to the Laws and Customs of the Babylonians which could not be avoided during their time of Captivity But now Babylon's Sun is going down and the Night of Death and Darkness is spreading it self over all the pompous state of the Merchants of the Earth All this will be seen upon the breaking in of the Bridegroom's Spirit and his Virgin who will deliver the exile Captives and clasp them close within themselves and exercise the Soul in another Science Its skill and wisdom in the divine Magia will actually go forth from this Co-essential participation of the Virgin-Nature to renew all good and pleasant things according to the first Paradisical Property as in the following Gate will be made out where the Virgin will particularly exercise her Magia for Redemption out of the present Captivity under which the Israelites as well as Ethiopians do groan being beset with the effects of Sin and Mortality which this sixth Gate doth deliver us from The sixth Gate is called the transferring Gate where the most choice and noble Gifts are transferred from the Palace of the glorious Majesty as the Foundation of Wisdom's factory mannaged by Wisdom's Correspondents who are skilful in the working Wheel of the divine Magia Oh! what transferring Powers will pass from one to the other to bring forth the flourishing of Eden that it may again appear in this habitable World Wisdom's Lovers now must dig deep to find this Kernal which hath lain hid in the Ground of Virgin-Wisdom from whom it must be transmitted to them who shall plant Paradise in a greater Latitude in this World For which a sure and unalterable Decree is gone forth for it is affirmed by the living Word who declares before-hand the truth of these things which are already begun and shall be finished as soon as all the Virgin 's Gates are past and entred And this is more considerable where such a mutual constant Correspondency is betwixt those two Kingdoms Paradise and Mount-Zion all rich things will be transferred from each to other yea an immortal Factory is here to be maintained betwixt the Inhabitants of these two heavenly Countries and so transferred still into this lower Orb as occasion shall be For though some part of this Earth by virtue of the Virgin-Stone may be ting'd into a Paradisical Property and thereby made capable of Commerce with the superior Worlds yet there will be a race of Vagabond Cains that will abide still under the Curse Tho Paradise be made visible in this World yet all will not suddainly thereby be brought to leave Babylon's Merchandize neither will the divine Arts and Mysteries be transferred commonly but upon such who have sought them diligently and have let all other Arts and Callings to for them being resolved to know no other but the heavenly Magia This is the invisible Stock which the Virgin doth traffick with to gain Honour Wealth Renown and a Crown of Glory to her God and Bridegroom Now it may be asked What matter is here to work upon for such abundant increase Where lies the Mystery of this Art that must be transferred by her as a Gift I Answer That this is a great Secret which cannot be revealed all at once and so deeply Mystical that none but Wisdom's exercised Magicians have ever founded it and found the matter hereof Yet we must not deny the great favour which the Most-High hath afforded for the opening of this secret thing through the very Person of Christ's glorified Humanity that so we might know what will make mortal Dross become like the fine Gold of Opher But to give an answer to that Question What that matter is which in Wisdom's Principle we are to work upon I say first negatively That it is no gross tangible Matter that we shall traffick with we shall need no Barns or Store-houses to lay it up in To describe it according to what is revealed we say it is a rushing Breath a tincturing Blood a running flash of Light and Fire coagulating together in a word it is the Power of the Deity transferred to a Virgin-Spirit on God's behalf as in the Person of Christ and his Virgin transmitting themselves as a spiritual Root from whence all fruitful Powers of the holy Ghost may be proved for otherwise all fore-passed things will bring little Glory to our mighty King and Saviour The seventh Gate is the Gate of Projection which will take off all Vails that have been upon the most Holy Place where we may enter as all knowing in Wisdom's Mysteries and Wonders But here lies the difficulty how to attain the skill to stir up the precious Gift that according to what was before described from the tincturing Blood of the divine Virgin we may be able to bring forth Matter Form and Colour according to the Quint-essential Spirit transferred from the highest Beeing But it may be asked here How or in what manner doth this Projection operate I Answer Several wayes all which may be referred to these two Heads viz. Transformation and Transfiguration in which two great effects Projection will be known in its essential Virtue flowing out and entring in where the Venom of the Serpent is which poysonous matter is transferred in the Soul by means of this Projection from the Tincture of Wisdom's Stone which causes an unalterable Transmutation of all gross Matter and the vile Bodie 's shape into a bright heavenly Consistency Such a Coelestial Body Wisdom's Virgin shall have power to put on when called up to the Seraphick Thrones and to appear before the highest Majesty to receive new Commissions what to act further according to the Counsel and Will of the Holy Trinity who will greatly delight to put them upon working what is Noble Great and Wonderful which none can parallel except they have first passed all the fore-mentioned Gates If it be asked What Works and Signs shall follow Wisdom's Projections I Answer They are such as Jews will not believe before they see them nay even Wisdom's Disciples who have been gathered under her Wing and drunk of her tincturing Blood will be sometimes in doubt of these things whilst they are yet but Passengers from Gate to Gate Wherefore we must not expect to be believed by those who are yet without the Gates However we will according to what hath been revealed by the supream Magns declare and set forth what God can do by his Instruments who are thus highly and divinely qualified In the first place they will be able to act from a creating Power the Virgin 's Omnipotency will enable them to give a new Form Virtue and Purity to all things
signal Demonstration by opening the divine Magia whereby the holy Spirit comes to act in his own place viz. in the ascended Body of the Resurrection from thence to go forth and work his Wonders such as yet were never wrought which will be the Introduction into the fixed Glorification for to be Co-centred in the ascended triumphant Spirit the Glory of which is attributed to the Lamb of God of whom it is said That he is worthy to receive Blessing Wisdom Power Strength and Glory for the effecting of so full and perfect a Redemption all which shall be assigned to the glorified in Christ who in the Royal unchangeable Priesthood shall be confirmed as going up from Glory to Glory till swallowed up in Glory Power Might and Excellency the manner of which is defined as the Close of all that hath been treated of in this Book as the finishing Testimony which at present was given me from the Lord of Glory Therefore so receive them in Faith and Love for this is the day of Gods Revelation who sends forth this as a fore-going Harbinger who according to his Promise will soon follow to fulfil all the rich and precious Things prophested herein and therefore calleth upon his scattered Stones to get together to Harmonize in the Eternal Light Love and Purity provoking each other to go on forward in this four-fold Process of our Lord Jesus arising out of this long Night of Slumber for the Day is broken and the Morning-Star may be discerned Consider to what a Life of Glory and Immortality ye are called it is great and wonderful indeed yet know the East-Gate now will open to those that earnestly knock thereat so that there is a certain possibility to get up unto all these Degrees of Glory Wherefore let none doubt but be girded with the Omnipotency of Faith which will rid the way swiftly leaving all unbelieving Loyterers behind A Race we have to run some may not be yet set out others newly engaged and others a good way in the Race but blessed are they who shall at the Price first come that so they may return to strengthen and encourage their Companions in the Race who may see the Rosie-Garland of Victory in their Hands and the Diadem of precious Stones as the Price which they have won which doth well deserve to be run hard for not delaying so much time as to look behind being once set out but so run that we may obtain But it may be questioned Who and where those are which are so resolute and strong in Spirit as to hold out to the end of the Race For this none can be found indeed but such as are arisen with Christ from the dead he is must become the Racer in us for all other Legs we run with will soon tire and be weary therefore set not out till Christ your Life and Strength be risen as a Gyant refreshed to run out this conquering Race where ye may come to lie down under the encompassing Glory as in an everlasting pleasant Shade possessing all those high and wonderful Immunities Glories Crowns Joys Gifts Powers in the Holy Spirit who will magnifie his Office in acting and working all in the Body of the Resurrection concerning which I shall no further enlarge but refer you to what is treated of in the former and this the following Revelations I shall now cease and shut up all in that springing Fountain from whence this bundle of Revelations did proceed having a good Hope and certain Perswasion that the Lord will be with his own Testimony in a light Ray spreading over all the Darkness of those Minds that shall attend and receive without Prejudice what is written though to some it may appear Obtruse Deep and Mystical and hard to be understood yet to others who are come under the teaching of the same Unction it will appear plain and easily apprehended and that the Spirit will bear record with us of what was and is and yet is to come Now the things yet to come is that Powerful and Princely Reign unto Glorification which hath long been prophesied of and now again with an Affirmation that the Lord will suddainly be upon us to take unto him his Kingdom which nothing of the Beasts Reign shall mingle Oh! Holy Precious and Elect let us not Sleep but set our Morning-Watch for Tydings are come to make all things ready for him Let it appear who the Wise Virgins are by their making themselves ready to meet the Lord not only for a Visit or Salvation but for an Eternal Marriage and an un-interrupted Nuptial Fruition and so to be ever with the Lord or rather the Lord to be ever with us as his dear Bride perfectly redeemed from the Earth as it becometh her thus Holy and Blameless to be found for the everlasting Priestly Celebration and Holy Ministration in no other Temple but what is called God and the Lamb where the only true Spiritual Worshippers are found and from whence our Praise-Offerings will spring as from the bright Sphere of Glory that swallows up Darkness Death Sorrow Contempt and the Curse in a full and total Victory for the Hopes of which and first budding Fruits now shall conclude with high Acclamation Glory Salvation and Praise to God and the Lamb that cometh to Reign evermore even so and Amen Known to be Yours in the unsealed Book of Life which none can shut again J. ☞ Lead and E. H. follows The Introduction IT was in my purpose to have suspended as yet any further manifestation of the Revelation that still followed me and would have hid the golden Talent only for an encrease in its own invisible Ground from whence it open'd at first till such time is it might come forth in the multiplying Number of the holy Spirit to seal up the glory of all that had gone before in Vision and Prophecy but Christ the bright Banner of Glory stood before me and said Keep in Record the Journal of the now raised Life according to the Profession then art going on in and know that what hath and it further to be revealed shall be sealed with a mighty Witness conquering all Opposition where-ever it shall rise Wherefore go on and forbear not writing for it shall be as the unclouding of the present dark Day and many shall come in at the brightness of its rising though it now seems to be under an Eclipse Thus was I afresh enkindled from the All-pierciug Word of my Lord who knows for what end he moves me horeunto tho I still objected against it as fore-seeing no Passage for such high Mysteries nor likelihood of their Reception in that Love which is void of censuring and therefore would rather have hid these heavenly things in their own Centre But seeing it hath pleased the Lord to over-rule my Resolution I shall be obedient to his Word as believing it may extend to the benefit of some who are known to himself who will not difesteem
find it self in another form of Life and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Principality before Jehovah's Throne attend 〈◊〉 to know the counsel and decrees of the Soveraign Majesty under whom is mannaged all inferior Government which shall be committed to those who reign with Christ the Lord Oh! this will be a wonderful time indeed For while the Lord is opening these things to me I am as one sunk into the Abyssal Ground where I am as nothing till he put forth a piercing Ray from his flaming Eye to fetch my Spirit up again who thus spake unto me Stand thou up and hear and declare the new Model of my Reign and let it be published for it is time to awaken those who are ordained for the first Resurrection that they may no longer sleep in the day break of my appearance And do thou solemnly see thy Heart to the great Immunities that are revealed not only for speculation 〈◊〉 for sulfilling where great Earnestness shall be found Thus the 〈◊〉 One set home his Word and causeth it to pass through a Vessel that is nothing to be accounted of whereat my self stands amazed what should move the Lord thus to appear and hold such a free Converse and leave such weighty things in trust with me Oh! What can be said but that it is the Good-will and Pleasure of my Christ and King who will change Tin and Dross into Gold as it pleaseth him The Fifth Property of the Holy Ghost is that whereby the Soul gets free from the striving Elements and comes to Rest and Peace all Wars and Combates ceasing The Soul having got up these four ascending Steps towards the Throne can now look down like a Tower of strength terrible to all the lower Inhabitants round about It is a Palace compacted within it self knowing nothing but a serene Peace and Concord neither Dragon nor Beast do so much as attempt to come here for Love and Peace is their Hell and Torment Christ's personal Reign in his Saints consists of Peace Power Love Joy the holy Ghost moveth in the mild and meek Property from the Water of Life that captivates the Enmity and Strife and shuts up the dark Center with all its Spirits This carries a two-fold meaning for first it is to be understood of that Love and Peace which possesseth the whole inward Hemisphere of the Soul and in the next place of the same Love flowing forth and diffusing it self through all the Subjects of that peaceful Kingdom which Christ will establish in the high Angelical Harmony of Love The Sixth out-flowing Property is the Omnipotence of God exerted in the renewed part in an absolute and Almighty Dominion that admits of no controule Here is no need of going out to borrow Gifts or Powers which are now fixed in the Soul to manifest the Wonders of the Magia which hath been shut up in Wisdom's Principle whose Virgins Crown of Power is sent down as a signal Testimony of the Kingly Reign that must prevail over all the Earth The bright flaming Standard of Christ's Personality will be of that Magnificence as to draw home the dispersed and scattered Flock which hath suffered Violence in this Babylonish Kingdom A Jubile will be proclaimed by them to whom this Dominion shall first come They the Head-Kings and Leaders are appointed to shine forth as Stars that shall bear such sway in God's Omnipotency as shall make all the Elect to haste and fly to this Kingdom as Doves to the Windows where all occasions of complaint about the Necessities of Life shall be cut off because Wisdom's Store-house shall from the Inherent Omnipotency abundantly supply whatsoever is needful of this kind The Paradisical lost Power shall be restored in a higher degree than ever to the end that Self-Love and Propriety may be taken away which cannot enter into Christ's Kingdom for the Lord hath averred That none who are thus spirited shall ever his Kingdom inherit The vast and inexhaustable Treasure of divine Riches cannot be enjoyed in Propriety but only in Loves Communion The Seventh and last Property of the holy Ghost that gives witness to Christ's Reign doth consist in a Life of Praise Exaltation which goeth forth in the Angelical Tongues Powers and Sounds of so many persumed Offerings paying an everlasting Love-Tribute of Joy to the Antient of Dayes by and in whom they are come to reign over all Kingdoms in this World in Christ's personal Power The New Hallelujahs from the Fire-breath of the Holy Ghost shall be the Holy Sport and Coelestial Play of the Children of this Kingdom All their Works shall speak forth the Praises of the Most High for Wisdom's Spirit will act so high and in such a mysterious manner as hitherto hath not been known all which miraculous Powers have been reserved to make up the Glory of Christ's second coming in his Representatives here on Earth For if the Lord should not in this manner demonstrate his God-head-Power in his Saints they would be set very light by and it would be a vain thing to assume the Title and Name of Kings without anointing Power suitable to it No Dominion whether inward or outward can be maintained without Loves-Omnipotency And truly my Lord hath assured me that he hath made large and full Provision for this Day who upon some private Objections of my own said to me Be thou nothing doubtful concerning all the great Things of my Kingdom which have been opened to thee from the Center of Light they have been revealed for a ground of Faith The Head of the Dyal is moving towards the fixed Hour which will manifest all these working Powers of the holy Ghost Wherefore do not streighten thy self nor any to whom this Word shall come but run out in a spacious large Belief answerable to Loves-Power and the ability of the object to whom the Eye of Faith is directed For wonderful things are upon the Wheel by which you may know it is high time to put forth your Hands to raise and awaken that which hath been so long asleep This was the concluding Word of Counsel from the Lord. The fore-going Properties is that which makes way for the Reign of Christ in personal Power and Glory which is now the great thing to be waited for as the End and Consummation of all that hath been revealed in the bare discovery of which we are not to rest but we are to press forward to enjoy the Fruit or Product of it in the inward Center where Christ will be manifested in his Personal Glory and Power For the driving seeking Spirit will not be at rest till it can put on its Resurrection-Body It knows that hitherto notwithstanding all its Refinings and Dyings to sinful Self and the World it yet remains a naked Spirit which must return into the Virgin-Womb of Eternity there to be regenerated into an heavenly Corporeity from the one holy Element out of which Christ's holy Personality is taken This is the
rich Garment with which the Sion-Kings are to be arrayed and thereby will be distinguished from those who stick fast in corrupted Nature and are not regenerated into this bright Image and from those also who though they are regenerated according to the inward man yet being intangled in the Thickest of the many things are fain to stay behind till those who by their hard pressing forward have overcome the World Beast and Dragon Therefore be first instated in the Lord 's personal Power for the Lord assured me that this would be the way he would take in this present Age to instate some who are known to him in his Personal reign that they may enjoy here on Earth their first Heavens to the terror grief envy of such who have been hard cruel in the dealt's Kingdom restraining their good things from the Lambs of Christ's Fold Here it will be as in the case of Dives and Lazarus they shall see those who were most despicable in their Eyes to be greatly beloved and honoured as being intrusted with a Kingdom in which they shall reign as the true Born Co-heirs with their Head Christ bearing rule over all those who have been their Oppressors in this World It was also revealed to me That there were others which stood in a mixed state and divided between the two Kingdoms of Light and Darkness but yet followed after the Mark and Crown these would scarce believe that such a Commission as this would ever be given to any appearing in a mortal Form to be crowned as Co-heirs with the Lord in his Personal Glory But the just One hath shewed that thus it shall be to convince and provoke to Emulation these last spoken of that they also may make haste to be made Kings and Priests to God The grand Query after all that hath been revealed concerning the Reign of Christ in his Saints is this Where this Government shall be pitched It is an ancient Scripture-Prophecy that Judah shall reign with God for he is faithful with the Saints The Scepter shall not depart till Shiloh come who is the King and Law-giver that is was and is to come And to whom will he come first of all but to those pure Virgin-Spirits who travel to bring forth Christ spiritually as the product of an invisible Almightiness which will appear to be that Man-Child which is to rule the Nations with the Rod of God's Power in this World and do far greater Wonders with it than Moses ever did with his For the eternal Magia shall bring forth all her Plants of renown The highest Wisdom shall be brought into manifestation and replenish the Earth a-new that God may walk in the midst of it and no longer be unknown to its Inhabitants who are refined from their Dross and thereby got a free and open entrance into the Jerusalem from above The partition Wall must be broken down that Christ above and Christ beneath may joy n together for mutual Joy and Fruition But here it may be objected How can this be as long as the Body is yet Terrestrial for an Earthly Body cannot ascend to the Lord's Glory I Answer That therefore a new Body is prepared even a Heavenly such an one as Christ had who could change his Form how and when he pleased So he appeared to Moses and Elias in his transfigured bright Body and then came down again in a terrestrial Body to the sight of Mortals which Power shall be renewed again in those who shall personate Christ upon the Earth they shall ascend and descend at pleasure and transmute themselves readily which state will much excell all Visions of the glorified Person of Christ for without this Coelestial Body we cannot hold out in that Sublime and Seraphick Communion hid with Christ which shall be in this Kingdom of the Saints Wherefore there is such a Body prepared which shall be able to pass into the invisible Orb where the King of Glory dwells It is given me to see this approaching day in the Spirit if the Representation thereof be so glorious what will the thing it self when actually accomplished This report which the holy Ghost doth give of it doth powerfully constrain the Soul to put in its whole stock of faith for it The sum of all these Discoveries concerning the Reign of Christ must be terminated in the Virgin seed Eve's lost chastity will produce a new Generation to whom this Kingdom shall be committed in trust This was revealed from that Vision which Holy John saw of a great wonder in Heaven a Woman clothed with the Sun and the Moon under her feet and a Crown of twelve Stars on her head Many interpretations have been made of this Vision which here I am neither to approve of or condemn but to mind the opening of the living Word who is present to explain whatsoever is obscure to those who turn aside from the Wisdom of the flesh and receive the united drops as they fall from the Heavenly Cloud to which is required a well purified vessel in which no taint of putrifaction doth remain This was a Proviso given me to observe throughout all this Ministration which made me set time a-part to prepare the vessel before I could see the Cloud break and send down its shower upon my ground This I mention for their sakes who are in this Ministration of Revelation Now to proceed to what the Lord hath opened to me from this figure of the Woman who is represented here as travelling in Birth intimating to us that as by a Woman a finful off-spring was brought forth in which Sorrow Sin and the Curse had dominion so from this Eternal Virgin-Wisdom a birth is to be born in which nothing but Joy Life Blessing and Eternal Power and Dominion shall take place This Virgin Adam had in himself before ever Eve was taken out of him but she with-drew as soon as Adam looked outward as if he were not sufficient of himself to encrease and multiply for the replenishing of Paradise God having created him Male and Female in himself But this design was overturned and Eve's Generation is now multiplied over the face of the whole Earth from whence Paradise with the Virgin is fled yet a wonder is now again seen in the Heavens which we are to declare to our own little flock which brings such tidings of Joy as doth far excel that of Gabriel to her who was the blessed amongst Women as being defigned to be the Mother of our Jesus in his fleshly appearance But now by this Virgin he is brought forth in another appearance as a mighty Ruler and Potentate over this Earth who is really and truly to fulfill whatsoever was tipified in Solomon's Reign David's Wars must cease which cannot be till this everlasting Virgin hath brought forth her Man-child who is to possess what Adam and Eve have lost of Paradise and Mount-Zion Kingdom All which is to be restored by the Virgin who is not limited to Male
or Female for she may assume either according to her good pleasure for she is both Male and Female for Angelical Generation But here it may be asked What is this Virgin Whence is she How can she introduce her self into that Nature where her pure chastity hath been violated This last indeed may be accounted a wonder above our hopes and expectation which yet she is in a rendiness to do as is well known to them who have understood her and preferred her above all things as being well assured that like as all Bliss and Peace sted away with her so upon her return all good will come back with her again As to her Nativity it is from everlasting before the Creation of Heaven or Earth She was before all as being the Co-essential creating Power in the Deity which formed all things out of nothing and hath given a dignified existency to all those Seraphick Glories which move within her own Sphear who are the product of an unsearchable Wisdom for the replenishing of those superior Worlds which are little known in this where we are out-casts neither can we be acquainted with much glories till we be born again out of her Virgin-Womb for so it must be before ever we come to be Christs in conformity with Christ our Head A Marvelous thing the Lord hath revealed to me concerning this Woman which holy John saw viz. that she represents Gods Spouse and Mate from whom the highest Birth the Eternal Word of Wisdom did go forth as the mighty Alpha and Omega in a distinct glorious personality known to himself in God and the Everlasting Virgin before any thing of the heavenly Hosts were created For he stood equally in the Counsel of the Father and Virgin for the bringing of the whole Creation into a figurative manifestation Now for what is all this but to discover the mystery of this Woman that she is the eternal Virgin who will essentially introduce her self into those who are prepared and appointed to enjoy her She will confer her Sun and Crown of Stars upon her Representatives Here will be brought down the one elemental Robe and the quint Essential Root will again be found which will give a most glorious Luster and all renew the gross vile matter as heing the acting Wisdom to shew forth Gods wonders all which reserved are until her day She is looked for as Gods fruitful Bride to bring forth Christs personality in plurality as so many immaculate Princes ruling in God Just cause will be found if we consider this Principle wherein the Serpent with so much bitterness wars against the Virgin and her Seed why her Off-spring as soon as born is caught up to Heaven from whence the Dragon is cast out and where the Iron Rod will crush him and be too hard for him and his adherents Her Off-spring will appear all Virgins with her own lustrous Son who is the first-born amongst the Kings of the Earth and Heavens Oh the high and majestical Glory which shall proceed from the Virgins Womb with whom is the blessing that will abound in fruitful Gifts and high working Powers from the Magia ground Eve's Conception in Sorrow shall not here be known for this Virgin never was disobedient or broke Faith with God who is her Husband the fruit of whose travel is Blessing and Joy through the whole Generation that shall be Born of her She shall be the Mother of the true Virgin-Church wherein no mixture of Will-Worship or False Doctrine shall be found But it may be queried How can this heavenly Virgin endure to come down upon this defiled Earth for to multiply her Off-spring in it For without doubt the Serpent and Dragon will violently rage against her which we have experience of in our selves when he crowds into our very Heavens with all evil Beasts at his Heels waging War against us Yet nothing of all this shall be able to prevent God's purpose who will appear with his Virgin in the divine Body and cover her with the one Element which will torment all evil-evil-Spirits and wear them out who can as little endute her Virgin-Purity as the Virgin-Spirit can bear their Poyson Therefore a separation is made as we read that the Woman had a Place prepared for her in the Wilderness which signifies the Spirit of Faith which carries it from off the sensual Ground where the Concourse of fluttering Spirits of all kinds are wherefore this is no place for God's Virgin to stay in she may be in danger of having her Chastity violated or of being drowned with the wrathful Floods of the Dragon The Serpent will not cease to make his attempts with more subtilty than eyer because by this introduced Virgin-Spirit his Head-power shall be crushed and his Seed dis-inherited but the Virgin-Spirit shall mount like an Eagle and so escape the Dragon's deluge A Fountain is opened in the Desart of which the Soul which is in union with the Virgin shall drink instead of the muddy Waters of the Earth which she loathes Pleasant Food is provided in this Wilderness by God himself and his Christ. The Lord affords these Dainties to the abstracted Life where the Virgin-Spirit is a stranger to sensitive Self within as well as to the enchanting World without Here it wants no good company for its never without heavenly Visitants because it reserves it self chiefly for converse with the Deity from whom she expects all her Blessing and Encrease And thus the Soul shall spring and multiply where the Virgin hath realized her self Her Wilderness shall become a rich Sharon-Pasture a Land of unknown Plenty where Gold Silver and precious Stones shall be as the Dust under the Feet of these holy separated Virgins Also within and without their feeding shall be on Power Joy and Peace till the division of Time shall come to an end in which a further Mystery will be understood But oh let all this be first sully witnessed Here follows a further Advertisement from him who is come to fulfill old Prophesies in the substance of his own Person that is Born of the Virgin from whom we may expect the perfecting of that which all fore-going Ministrations and Manifestations have left short in regard of those wonders which shall be effected in this latter Age. To which end Christ hath opened the Center-Eye that can pierce as deep as the Deity where this Virgin lies with all her Glory who ever since Adam's day hath been obscured because she would not trust her self with any Mortal only some of her shining Rays have now and then been scattered into holy Souls a taste of which hath been given as the first Fruits of what is reserved for Christ the Lord's second Birth-day where shall be provided a Penticost-Feast according to the royal and heavenly state of Jehovah's Bride and Mate Oh! how unable am I to bring forth in Words what hath been shewed me of the later Fruits that Wisdom's Children shall feed upon in that day
down such Gifts as will all abundantly enrich more than came down in the day of Penticost for they were but the first Fruits and did but continue a little while but here is such a Shower of the Eternal Powers to fall down upon this second Call to the Jerusalem waiters as shall bring forth the Harvest of the Lord's Joy whose Spirit for the ripening of these Fruits doth work most powerful What is to be done by us but only to drink in the falling Dews and dropping Showers and to grow as Lillies that may know neither Heat nor Draught Toil nor Care Hasten oh God! and send thy Angel Reapers for some Fields do begin to 〈◊〉 White whose ripe Fruits may into thy Store-house be brought as the first Offerings for the consvmmating of all those great and mighty things which thou hast taught us in this little Volumn of thy Life 〈◊〉 Here follows a high ravishing Communion with the Trinity enjoy'd but receive it not as an Elivation but from a Spirit â—â—â—â—â—ated as into another light Region the half of which is not to be expressed which was here enjoyed Some Throne of the most Holy is now pitched in the center of the Heart of Jesus as in conjunction with my Heart from whence such issues of Life do flow which renew a perpetual Spring of Joy For the Lord pronounced the fulness of all Blessing from the circle Throne of his Presence bedewing me with the Water of Life from the glassy Sea mingled with the Fire of Love assuring me that the Curse which is annexed to fallen Nature should now flee away from God and the Lamb's Throne which Throne the Lord hath chosen me to be unto him in which the Scepter of his Kingdom should rule over all in the divine Omnipotence Upon which Thunder-cry which passed through my Heavens all Nations Tongues and Languages Spirits and Powers did give up to him who is come to fix his Throne and to create all things new and to confirm his Covenant in the newness of the Spirit and to nullifie all of the dead and fruitless-Life which stands in the Letter-Precept which could never destroy the Root of Sin It is now made known from the Word of Truth that nothing else shall ever fetch out the Serpent's Sting but the overflowing of the burning Oyl from the Sea of Glass which is broken up by the violent stroke of the holy Ghost All Sanctifications and Renewings are imperfect and changeable till this doth come to rise as a covering to make the gross Body transparent So now then we are to observe that when-ever God shall come in very deed to enthrone himself in any there will be felt this burning Sea from which the firey Lamps do proceed which guard the Throne Oh! it is the great and high attainment that a Spirit vail'd with Corporeity can look for to have God come down in his Throne-dominion and to cast down all other Thrones in which the dark firey Spirits have acted their part in the inward Tent of the Mind all which now to be destroyed and consumed by the pure flaming Throne will sufficiently witness that God's Kingdom is now got beyond Words is sprung up in a feeling Power Oh! the Joys Pleasure which my Soul doth feel in its first rising which is infinitely more precious than hath been related though by Christ's own Personality whose appearance did so variously describe the Glory of his Kingdom to me but now to come and bring it into me will in due season produce other things than what hath been believed or expected by the Staggering Fearful who have cryed The Lord doth yet delay his coming so upbraiding and beating his fellow Servant crying for Signs and Wonders without which they can own nothing But let all such slighting Spirits know that the Throne and Kingdom of the Lamb may for some considerable time be forming fashioning furnishing and enriching with Glory and all this carried on very secretly till the whole Mystery of the Kingdom be first inwardly compleated before it come to make a visible Show by a terrible acting of Wonders And know that such as are come to feel the Kingdom in its invisible Powers and the seven Lamps of Fire burning and are set down with Christ upon the Throne reigning over and judging down all Nations in themselves shall have Judgment and Power given them over all that have villified and set light by them in the day of their outward Rule and Authority whilst the suffering Lambs of God were in their Minority But careful we will not be concerning Judgment given or Dominion exercised as yet out of the Throne of the Lamb in our selves but must follow on till it be fully perfected and the Kingdom established It is the present Business of our Day to watch to have every Lamp fed from the glassy Sea that so springing in the Light Love-Flames a Chrystaline Throne may be maintained for the whole Deity For verily whilst such a thing as this is felt and witnessed there is a most ravishing Tranquility Oh! what is greater than to have Christ seated upon his Throne within us All things then must needs be in a peaceable and holy Order and blessed Subjection Happy are they whose inward Eyes are opened all this to see possess and enjoy even when retired out from all Creaturely Society and so translated into and among the Seraphick Spirits in heavenly Places Since my apartment to be alone a full Concourse doth now continually meet me even such Company as makes me spend my hours and dayes with all spiritual Mirth and Joy For I am now come in truth without Flattening or crackling Sparks that go out again unto the everlasting burning Throne of the Deity where just and perfect Spirits do use as so many lesser Flames most numerously as God's encompassing Host ministring all that may delight me So that I find I am to be reserved for God's Throne-Conversation which is as the seven dayes Feast of Tabernacles wherein nothing of servile work is to be thought upon This is a time of an holy Convocation and for celebrating the Praises of the Lamb who alone hath wrought the Victory for us Oh! what shall let now but that all within me may give the Trumpes-sound and great shout that the Lord Omnipotent is come to Reign Rejoyce ye Heavens without within and round about for the Lord Jehovah hath only done it He hath made Wars to cease and keeps the Enemy without the Gates Oh mighty Prince and Saviour thou art entred into thy Throne-rest Thou art become Lord of the Sabbath indeed and therefore thou hast Power to Eternalize it as a Memorial of thy redeeming Blood which is become the quickning and reigning Life Maintain my Love evermore in this new governing Sphere with thee for never knew I such a pleasant state as since the time thou hast brought thy Kingdom into me to rule over all in Peace and Love and keep every Spirit
greet them whom we discern to be of a high and lofty stature having shot forth their Branches in great lustre and glory as having got beyond all declarative Revelations and Teachings as not receiving or needing any but what their own center of Light will supply them withal here-from inclining to slight what lies in bank and store with their fellow-Labourers for this same Treasure to such this word is sent that they carry it in great humility and lowliness of Mind prefering each ones gift before or as their own maintaining all sweet and lovely Fellowship with those of lower or higher degrees in mutual Concord and Harmony for the maintaining a holy Fraternity and spiritual Neighbourhood although each Saint may have a full Provision and plentiful Portion of Spirit in themselves so as they have no dependance on another yet love is freely communitive and disperseth it self in great variety so as what one Saint is gifted and furnished with the other may want of that sort and kind and so a heavenly Traffick and Correspondency may be maintained feeding and feasting with each other on the various Fruits as all springing from one Stock and Tree of Life for it is experienced that much increase of the holy Anointing hath flown forth by the converse and declaration of divine Inspirations from one Saint to another the which hath begotten a new and spiritual Generation as in former Ages so in this sending forth divine sparks of Light and Love for the gathering in of the holy priestly Train that are to make up the Temple-Glory till the which shall come to be compleated there will be all need of this holy in spiring Breath to be breathed from one to another whether by vocal Voice inspeaking or converse as the holy Spirit shall go forth in its various operations for the edifying of the Body of Love for a holy Convocation to the Lord. In the hopeful Expectation of which I have been driven to disclose these great and deep secrets being assured That this Generation shall not pass away before there shall be a fulfilling of what hath been revealed prophecied of in this little Tract and blessed are they that shall have their lot and portion herein There is a rich Bank yet behind from whence the oily Springs do fill that may be emptied forth when Vessels are made more fine and ready thereof to take in for the which we shall wait and seek to find some such for to partake of that rich and weighty Prize that yet lieth in the secret eternal Mine for there is Vally deep which under the Water of Life doth lie that will bring forth the fruitful Olive Plants that shall be there fed and nourished hiddenly till of a strong and full grown stature in Spirit and Power they may come for to be then will they shew themselves to the true Israel of God universally that the Priestly Kingdom may come for to spread and flourish every where in power and great glory sealed with Mission of the holy Ghost acting and going forth in signal miraculous working Powers for confirmation of the truth of this Dispensation in such a way as none shall resist nor any dark Magician shall be able to counterfeit for so strong and impregnable is the Foundation of this Temple-body of glory that neither Dragon Beast or false Prophet shall be able it to undermine it being built and compact together of precious Saphire Stones transparent for Beauty and Glory the Jasper Stone being both Foundation and Covering thereon then will the shout of a King be heard in the Land of Salvation Oh! ye holy and elect of God where-ever you have been hid appear if you have put on your anointed Shield promote and help forward this royal Priesthood wherein the lively express of the holy Ghost is to be manifested Oh! that some fitch might be known that hereto do give themselves and mind no other thing as the Lords approved Work-men that may come to build up the inward Priestly Temple whose Furniture and Glory shall be the Gifts and Powers of the holy Ghost And now what have I more to do but to wait in hope that the pure flaming Spirit may henceforth go forth to gather in this Priestly Host who as in a reathed Chain of Love united may be inseparable that so we may come to take our degrees of Prophets Priests and Kings for the making good what hath been in this Treatise revealed which though in the form of a dead Letter yet O God as the Auther hereof did in the writing meet with a mighty flow of the anointing Presence so let the same out-flowing Spring accompany such whom thou hast ordained to be taken into this holy Priestly Order to which give thy Amen O great High-Priest to whom the Glory hereof doth belong Even so let that Kingdom come into this World that shall consist of Kings Priests and Prophets with all such Righteous Plants let the whole Earth be plantd for Joy and Praise to him who is the Antient of Days Hellelujah to him who is KING of Kings THE END As you may see in the Book entituled The Heavenly Cloud by the same Author Meaning the Book of the Heavenly Cloud Acts 1. 4.

Beast did rise is a terrible tossing working Sea where all the worldly Spirits drive their Traffick for to make Babylon pompous and great who ever loves the Earth and are admirers of the Beast who gives Riches and worldly Honours to such as serve him but oh come here and see how he must fall with his whole Hierarchy Wherefore let none trust to his Kingdom which in one day shall be made desolate through the fiery Judgments Here are two Seas at strife one against the other turn your Eyes inward you who are the Lamb's Warriors and witness bear to these two Seas meeting within the Ground of Nature The Sea of the Beast contains great abundance of Riches according to its perishable kind besides there is an overflow to the Merchants of it that are in a free Trade to uphold that worldly Kingdom wherein all Nursery of Sins-Wuchcraft is maintained But according as I was called upon to come and see how the Beast and all his rich trafficking-Sea is to be dryed up as the Lamb of God shall fill his Vials from out of this glassy Sea and pour them upon it when all its Pomp and Riches shall sink as a Mill stone never to rise again Oh? at this let all our Nations rejoyce within us as this Vision is fulfilling Now follows another great Mystery which I was called upon to look into concerning the seventh Seal wherein lies hid the Reward and rich Price which though not yet given in Possession yet the Holy One hath seen it expedient to reveal it by breathing sorth this Word in me saying Come thou apart and Sanctifie a Fast tonelling nothing of the Leaven which is found in the House of fallen Nature abstain from any other Cup but what I the Anointed shall sill unto thee from the burning Sea of Glass which will be a Lamp to give Light and perfect Knowledge in the most hidden things that everlasting Wisdom hath hitherto sealed up For to you who are come to the sixth Seal and to your burning Elements in the heat of that melting Furnace these further Secrets are disclosed for the Consolation who shall hold out in this last Battel-Race for Conquest Therefore put on your Life-Armour day by day and continue in the Fight for joy of that which is now revealed as your Reward taking all care to abstain from the Leaven of Imaginations which may stop the Sluce of Revelation in its Purity The empty Bowl with light burning Oyl began to come in and became a rising Spring which did give light to the dark Socket of my Understanding within and the first thing that was shewed me was an open Book written within and every one of the seven Seals broken and it was in the Hand of the God-head-man who said Come and read what the seven Wonders which my faithful Witness did declare of in his day of Revelation which were then to be sealed up because the Day of their fulfilling was so far off But now in this present time there hath been such a servent heat of flaming Intercession which hath made all these Seals to melt away that the Secrets contained in the Book might be opened and made known This Living Book which was presented to my view to read was the glorified Person of the Lord Jesus who did now appear to reveal what was sealed up in the seven Thunders His presence was not terrible as appearing under the Vail of pure Humanity where he hides me as in the Clifts of his own Spiritual Body whilst he talketh with me who thus said Thou art come to a deep Knowledge for here the greatest Good highest Beeing stands unsealed to the introverted Eye of thy Spirit that can enter into the Light of Eternity where the Looking-Glass of all Mysteries does stand open Now the cry of the first Thunder was this Behold how the six dayes Creation is come to its limit and Man ceaseth to be being returned into the Eternity of his own Spirit there to rest in God while the Number of the Beast is summed up and his Kingdom furnished with the Ordinances of Day and Night which take place in this changeable Element from whence the Craft and Subtilty of Reason doth arise to uphold and maintain the lapsed earthly Life All which there will be no further need of according to what the second Thunder doth utter The second Thunder uttered as follows Come and see who out of the Bed of passive stillness do now arise and come forth all new and immortalized to rule as Gods in an immutable Creation These are they who have been exercised in great Tribulation and lain as dead under the Seals but they are come to live and take the Lamb's Power to reign in Gods Omnipotency which is the only Instrument they shall play upon to subdue all inwardly and outwardly For they are now put in Commission under him who is come to judge the Quick and Dead and to remove all things wherein the Serpents Brood hath been nourished The cry of the third Thunder is this Ho! come ye whose Names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life The way is all cleared and the great River Euphrates is dryed up for to give Passage to the Holy Land where the Tree of Life shall meet you with its flowing Fruits whose savour leaves a perpetual Sweetness and such a strength of Joy as will make you know the Feast of Tabernacles it come indeed with God alone for to celebrate and keep The Walls all ranged are with Seraphims that are appointed for your Guard to usher you into an higher Sphear and more magnificent place than this which was the Seat of the first Paradisival Man where you are to make but your forty dayes stay For an higher Orb doth descend as a Cloud to take up the Elders that have their Throne-Seats prepared in the great Jerusalem City which is the settled Rest where no more removing is feared for there is an indissolvable Link all fixed in a Co-operating Power which never shuts up The fourth Thunder opened thus unto me by way of Vision I saw seven Golden Candlesticks branched out from a Suid of Gold and each Socket appeared empty and there came one in the appearance of a Jaspher-light and poured in some sparkling Liquor and there arose a shining burning which sent forth Flakes of light very numerous running up and down like Lightning so as nothing could contain them nor prevent them from going whither they would then was it cry'd in my hearing What hast thou seen but the great Wonder of the fourth Thunder disclosing the fiery Lamps that are appointed to be fixed in renewed Nature which are so impowering that on whomsoever they rest they may act and do whatsoever they will into For the Concord of these seven Spirits is of that force as they can save or destroy bind or loose they are the seven proper Powers that must make out who are God's Co-deified Ones and
commissioned to act in this last Seene of Wonders in the wonder-City that shall be all compacted of pure Spirits Hear and see ye shall be planted there as the great Cannons for these Powers will multiply as a great Host which can cut off this visible World at one stroke This is the great reserve to be given as a Reward to the suffering Conquerors The fifth Thunder cryed Now unseal the Tabernacle-Testimony let the eternal Gospel of Love and Peace go forth in the cloven Tongue which can only speak out what springs from the original Law of restored Nature to its primary Purity out of the Fountain of the Deity Behold these are the separated and anointed Ones who have this Gospel-Dispensation as a perpetual rising spring proceeding from the holy Spirit who can indeed absolve and pronounce Remission of Sins For Power will rest upon those who can conveigh the New-Testament-Blood to heal and deliver from the infective Root of Sin not in a painted formal Imitation but there shall go forth a Fire-breath to send this healing Gospel into the very Center-Root of the sick and sorrowful in Spirit who under the wound of Sin have laid long for Cure To which true Royalty and Priesthood some shall be more eminently ordained for the gathering in of those who lie under the Babylonish Rubbish who shall be raised through the out-going Might of the everlasting Testimony in the Blood of the Lamb's Life which is the known Character that only shall be given to them The Declaration of the sixth Thunder was thus represented to me I saw one holding forth a Saphire Signet or sealing Stone with which were to be marked all the Free-born that do belong to the New-Jerusalem for none but such as are marked can have right to the vast Riches which are concentred in Wisdom's Bank who to this day hath locked up the Brides Dowry and will not part with it till she can come with this Seal upon her Heart which is now brought out to put the highest impress of Saphire-Glory and Purity that may signifie that the Lamb's Bride is all thus dignified Oh! who shall henceforth detain those Riches Wealth and Honour which have been treasured up from before the Foundation of the World For all must now be given up to her command whether it be in Heaven or Earth or in the glassy Sea whether in Heights or in Depths or in any of the Eternal Sphears The sealing Name is every where the Authority that must set all open which hath been locked up hitherto because none could bring alone with them the Seal which is now freely brought down of God's own ingraving and therefore can never be counterfeited for it bears the lively Portraiture of Father Son and Spirit to whom all Riches Power and Glory are given The last Thunder comes in great Power to declare the Great Day of the Marriage-Feast of the Lamb The Fountains run now with that Spirit Wine that was in the Grape before all Time the choice and precious Fruits ripened by the Serene and Pure Elements are prepared and the Table is covered with all Replenishments that God himself can set out to express the Content and Joy he takes to see this consummating Day wherein I saac hath brought home his Rebecca into God the Father's and Jerusalem's Glory where henceforce a perpetual Feast of Joy forever is to be kept Angels now sound your Trumpet-Songs because the Harvest is reapea and God's Kingdom come The Lamb and Bride are now met to maintain a living Fame in another Creation The Redemption is finished Salvation is witnessed and the Mystery of God is unsealed The Harpers are summon'd to the Holy Quire with their Sounds and fiery Tongues that may proclaim the Lamb hath given up the Kingdom consisting of perfect Spirits that God only may be the top covering of great Majesty Strength Wisdom and Glory in and over all the Inhabitants of this Holy City which beareth this Name The Almighty creating Power â—â—â—ileth and taketh up his abode here Henceforth bless the Lord on High It s he that hath unsealed Treasures richly What can them hide from the Spirit 's Eye That pierced have into the Heart of the Deity Tribute-Offerings pay to our God and King Who hath revealed Wonderful Things Oh what Seraphick Sounds do I hear Are they not the Thunders of the Coelestial Sphear Calling for an attentive Ear Spirit to hear o're Which as the Doors be to the Golden Ore Where vast Treasures land up are in store But sound are only by Spirit 's Pore This is the state in which the Souls blest Eye May see God without Thought intellectually Though Speech and Converse away may fly The thunder of his Power abides essentially This is the Day we rejoyce to see Even the acting Power of the Deity What is it but the fiery piercing Eye That can the unsealed Book untye Wherein the perfect Number Seven lie Blessed is that Power from on High That hath struck the Crystial Rock From whence the Thunders did fly I feel the gushing in of Crystial Springs That whirleth as upon Cherubim Wings No more to look down to Earthly Things The Glass so clear through which I see Beholding glorious Objects variously That snatched away before I am awake Pass we on to the Sea of Glass Through all Worlds we make our Pass Brought we are to our own Land Where all Wonders in order stand Rewing what the Mortal cannot endure Even those Coelestials that are ever pure Blessed are those in whom the wonder Of the seven Thunders uncloaked be That feel that see that possess God in Unity Raised high into the Heart of the Deity Whereout Spring secret pleasant things That swallows up in Joy that hath no end Thus were the seven Thunders opened and interpreted to me from the springing Word upon which I closely waited and witnessed felt a sweet precious anointing and refreshing Joy to come in from every Thunder-Cry Oh! this is so great so weighty and rich and such surprizing Goodness which in this Book of Life is found which is now unsealing that no other things any more ought to be minded by us Thus the triumphant King and Conqueror who is possessed of all these Royal Powers and Dignities that are infolded in these seven Thunders hath given his Word that none of these shall fail in any one that hath the mark of the seventh Conquering-Seal broken up in themselves to whom joynt-power and authority will be given in order to the beginning of that Reign which is to be settled here on Earth according to the Prophecy in John's Revelation which presseth hard upon me from the Fiery Cloud that circles round my Spirit for a defensive Banner which will let nothing of the eclipsing dark Principle come in whilst the Center deep from the Soul 's fiery Essence opens and the bright Streamers from the Heart of the glorified Jesus who meets me in such a peaceable Love-paved-Walk
