told me That hence I should take occasion to tell Christians That they must look one upon another in and through Christ with the Eyes of Love and Charity as also that Christ must dwell in us and we in ●im And whereas it was a Young man whom I saw the Angel bid me to signisie to Men from thence That in this Eternal Life we shall continually grow more Young and Beautiful whereas here we still grow Older and more Deformed Also whereas I found that I could do whatsoever I desired or wished for the Angel bid me tell Men That when they come hither nothing shall be impossible for them and whatsoever they desire shall as soon as desired be effected Moreover I knew for certain that there we shall find a Glorious New Heaven and Earth and that Paradise shall be in the midst of the Eternal Space and the New Heavens shall surround the New Earth upon which shall live all manner of Beasts and the Air shall be full of Birds though these shall never come into Eternity no more then the Sun Moon and Stars because in Eternity nothing of this outward Creation is to be found but the Beasts shall abide upon the New Earth and the Birds in the Air and upon the Trees where they shall sing most Melodiously to the Praise of God for upon the New Earth shall be all sorts of most pleasant and beautiful Trees Plants and Flowers And when we are here we may as oft as we please ascend up into Eternity and descend again to the New Earth and sport with Beasts and Birds ven with the Sun Moon and Stars Here we shall as oft as we please begin a Divine Musical Consort and shall rejoyce in God after an infinite variety of ways now altogether unknown to us we shall be able to pass through and through the New Earth with the same ease as Fishes glide through the Water or Birds through the Air.
