and so in stead of enjoying me they shall be terrified by me which hell shall be here on earth for when my sons and daughters shall sing and rejoyce they shall howl and weep for sorrow and I said Lord it is said that thou wilt separate the sheep from the Goats and set one on the right hand and the other on the left hand that in the world to come And the Lord said I will make a seperation and such a seperation as is spoken of and that I will now set the one of my sons and daughters on my right hand which is my love and favour to them and the other to wit the wicked shall bee on my left hand that is under my wrath and I said Lord what is become of the wicked that have ceased if there be no hel nor no other life and the Lord said their bodyes are returned to earth from whence they came and so shall ever be and never be more but their spirits as soon as they go out of their bodies being not made of the four Elements as fire water earth and aire neither is it the soule which is their life for I the Lord is their life and soule and so soone as I draw my self which is the soul out of the body the body returnes to the earth and there it continues but the soul which is the life of the body which life is my own invisible being returnes to its centre as the body doth to his and there remaines which centre I the Lord of host am and so the soul which is the life cannot suffer any torment after it is out of the body but returnes to me to be at rest with me but the spirit and the soul being two distinct the spirit of a man it is that is and shall be tormented When the body shall rest and the soul be also at rest I meane the body of him that is deceased when his spirit which is his conscience that is compounded of reason wisedome and knowledge and so proceeds from man and is called the spirit of a man shall be tormented for ever and that in a body though it be not in the same body for this spirit which is compounded of reason wisdome and knowledge is that which exalts and sets it self against God and so is the utter enemy to God it being some thing which proceeds from flesh and proceeds out of man and yet it is not flesh nor man and as soon as it comes out of one man where I the God of gods doe not rule it goes into another wicked man and there acts the same things which it did in the first and so as Cain killed Abel the same spirit is in wicked men killing the Saints which spirit of man being all that shall be tormented I suffer it to embody it self in man untill it becomes a legion of Devils and there they remain in man untill I by my spirit cast them out or till I withdraw my self and so let the body goe from whence it comes and so the Devil which my Sonne Christ cast out of the man which man was tormented by it it being in him for so long as it was in him it did keep him from enjoying me and so did torment him is the spirits of wicked men transfused into one and so rules in a man and as it spake and desired Christ to let it go into the herd of swine it shewes that it was not able to a bide in that place were I would not have him tarry neither can it go into any but to those that I give it a commission to go into and as it chose to go into swine the swine sets forth wicked men so that the Devil that was cast forth went into the herd of swine went into wicked men and as the swine ran into the Sea and were drovvned so those into whom I do suffer the spirit of a wicked man to go into and remaine and not cast it out that man is tormented by that spirit and drowned in a Sea of misery But as the spirit cried out art thou come to torment me before my time it shewes that a spirit is not capable of torment out of a body but in a body which bodies shall now be that the spirits of all wicked men shall be tormented in and they shall for ever as one Devil and his Angels be burning in my wrath that is those wicked men that remaine shall be the places wherein all the spirits of wicked men and their spirits shall be tormented day and night that is in bodies wherein nothing but wickednesse dwels so that all might be tormented and destroyed but I the Lord of host and I said Lord there are some things in likenesse of hens or doggs or any any thing else that can speake and my God said that these are the spirits of wicked men whom I can make in any shape and can give them power to speake to other wicked men or their spirits in them which spirit workes in the children of disobedience in this forme and shape and so these spirits are witches so called because I suffer them in whom they remaine to have power and so to bewitch them that they come not to the knowledge of me that is those in whom this power of darknesse rules are so overpowred with darknesse that they become fit subjects or bodies for me to execute my wrath upon them which bodies being sensible of me the Lord and of the glory and happinesse of my sons and daughters shal gnaw their tongues for paine even in this world so that the resurrection in Scripture mentioned is not a resurrection of the body out of the earth but a resurrection of the the body from darkness to light and from the wrath of me to the love and favour of me For saith Christ I am the resurrection and the life so that the resurrection and life is Christ that is so to be raised from the body of death and sin as to be anointed with the spirit of God and so to become new being dead before and now to be alive and ever to be with God Free from apprehending God to be angry with us but always feeling his divine power ruling in us and causing of us to see and look upon him as one that is well pleased with us FINIS

was in it and thus shall all Misers in time throw away their mony that they have horded up and bring it their gold and silver out of their chests and baggs out of their places where they have laid them saith the Lord of host for I will make them do it that they that have gathered much may have none over and they that have gathered little may have no lack saith the mighty God of Jacob. And presently after this I saw the appearance of a man his raiment was of all colours like a rain-bow and it came down to his feet and I looked and could see no seme upon it for it was without seme and he had on his head a Crown of gold and in his right-hand a Scepter and I saw him coming to me and I cried out in the name of the Lord of hoast come not to me but he came to me and told me that he was Jesus Christ the mightie Angell of the Lord of hoast and that he must come into me and then he would declare unto me things that must shortly come to passe for now the Lord of host had done speaking to the outward ears and appearing to the fleshly eyes and will deal inwardly both appear and speak to the spirituall eyes he entred into me which made me tremble quake and then I heard a voice within me saying harken to this noise that I will make and I harkned and loe it thundred and I said Lord what is the meaning of this and the Lord said these are the seven thunders that uttered their voices to John and he would have writ the meaning of them and I commanded him that he should not because the meaning of them would have made my servants not to search so much into this Revelations which were written by John but now I will declare them unto thee these seven thunders shew a perfection or a compleating of my determination Which I have set before I will begin to take the powers from the earth and the last of these thunders or all in one shall take effect according to my determination as I shewed it to my servant John in the year one thousand six hundred and fiftie but I would not have him write it though I have now commanded thee to write it and that I will begin my worke in this year as it was shewed to John in this Iland of England and I will bring to nothing the Parliament but will stirre up their hearts and the wicked to joyne with them against Fairfax that so I may destroy them whom I have appointed for the slaughter and so to be a terror and a dread to the others and will make them be quiet But presently after this the word of the Lord came again unto me saying behold this that I present to thee and I looked and loe a tree that had on it twelve sorts of fruits and the Lord said the fruit of this tree is for the healing of the Nations and I said Lord what doth this tree represent And my eternal God within me said it doth represent me the Lord of hosts I am the tree and onely that which can cure the Nations and the fruits of me or of my work which I am now a doing Is First to destroy earthly powers and so to bring down their strength Secondly I will make those that have drawn their swords to make war if they be not destroyed beat their swords into plowsheers and their spears into pruning hooks Thirdly I will be a terror to those that have opposed me that they shall be afraid of me and instead of gathering themselves together as they have done they shall hide themselves in holes of the rocks Fourthly I will destroy self-interest that so there may be no striving for riches Fiftly I will destroy ambition that there shall be no striving for honour Sixthly I will take away the pride of the heart that there shall be none that shall think themselves better then the rest Seventhly I will take from man that presumption as to think to have one or two men to wait upon him Eightly I will make those that have riches give them to them that have none Ninthly I will make every man to be at peace one with the other Tenthly I will make all my sons and daughters to be of one heart and mind Eleventhly I will take away the curse of the earth that with a very little labour it shall bring forth its fruits And Twelfthly I will make that which one hath to be anothers that so the naked may be cloathed and the hungry fed and if any have any thing better then others it shall be my sons and daughters for I will make all work in one way or other a little for to keep themselves out of want saith I the Lord of hosts for I will take the curse from off the earth that the earth may be fruitful and I will take the enmity from all creatures that they may be at peace with each other and I will make them to be fruitfull and multiply that they may be strong to work and bring forth thousands and ten thousands and so will make working a pleasure and rejoycing that I may be glorified and have the honour saith the Lord of hosts And again the word of the Lord came unto me saying behold behold and loe I looked and there appeared a river running up and down on the earth And I said Lord● what earth is this and river that runs up and down thus And my God said this is your body and the bodies of my sons and daughters which the earth sets forth and the river is the river of life mentioned in the Revelations and this life is the pouring forth of my spirit upon this earth of men and women and as you saw the living waters run about it is that living waters which are the fulness or flowings forth of my self in such a clear discovery and manifestation as to over-power the earth man with my glory as it is written he that beleeveth on me saith God out of his belly shall flow forth rivers of living waters which water of life proceedes from the throne of God that is after my bright appearing and filling my sons and daughters with my fulness from them shall flow forth the water of life that is a discovery of me or making me known to others that I am the Alpha and Omega that I am all and in all that I will now take the power into my own hands and will be glorified for my people are my throne and the place where I dwell saith the Lord of hosts and as there are three that bear record in heaven the Father Word and the holy Ghost and these three are one the Word is the Father and the holy Ghost is the Father and so I bear witness to them that have but a smal discovery of me that is they living in some light and so have some knowledge of me
