The day dawned both to Jews and Gentiles, and clear discoveries of light and righteousness; the bright and moning star appearing Jacob wrestled with the angel until the break of the day, and would not let him go until he blessed him.

the Lord is gathering all Nations inone place of Worship into his own Spirit the Spirit of Truth as he saith such Worshippers is my Father seeking to worship him and in the beginning of the first creation he said Let the Waters be gathered into one place so the people are the Waters which are to be gathered into one place of Worship And John saw the numberly number that stood upon Mount Sion of all Nations and he saith I heard the sound of many Waters as of a great people with Harps harping with their harps and they sung a new song which none could learn but they that followed he Lamb these were the redeemed of God which were brought home these sung before his Throne who lived for ever who had their Names written in Heaven these Reigned with the Lamb over the Beast and over his power these were sealed with the Seal of God in their foreheads and in their right hand they stood upon the Sea of Glass mingled with fire and John said I hear as it were the sound of a Trumpet it talking with me so all the redemed comes to hear as well as John the sound of the Trumpet it of God sounding from heaven in them that Trumpet sounded clearer and clearer which is the way of the Bridegroom talking with them who are his true Spouse as a man talketh with his friend So they come to the Ministration of the Spirit unto the ministration of Angels he saith Come let us reason together and Abraham reasoned with the Lord and convened with the Lord unto whose house the Angels came and the Lord saith shall I do any thing and hide it from my servant Abraham so all that truly serve the Lord and fear the Lord they are of the faithful Generation of Abraham and shall be accounted to the Lord for a Generation yea his Seed shall serve him the chosen Seed unto whom the promise is so they shall be a numberless number that shall come from the four Winds of the Earth and hasten to the Holy City whose Gates are not shop by day nor by night but yet the unclean cannot enter therein none but the redeemed the washed and purified by the Spirit of Judgment and burning them that do pass through the Rivers of Judgment that do pass through Jordan such enter the good Land and know Judgment brought forth into Victory so the Lamb and the Lyon comes to lie down together and the little child shall lead them so they come to be lead by Christ their leader they are little children in Christ he that would be greatest amongst his Disciples must become as this little child as Christ himself saith so they must be led by him as those little children that cannot go of themselves nor are not able to do any thing without him as he saith unto Peter Once thou girdest thy self and wentest whither thou wouldest but another shall gird thee and thou shalt be led whither thou would not so he leads his into a daily cross and self-denial Christ saith if any man will follow after me and be my Disciple he must first deny himself and take up his daily cross and follow me a cross to the carnal mind which stands in death and enmity to the pure appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ So to be carnally minded is death but to be Spiritually minded is life and peac Sow to the Spirit that you may reap life for if ye sow to the flesh you will reap the wages of sin and death but all that come to the gift of God which is Life and Truth and receive it in the love of it they come to be set free by it and if the Truth set you free then are you free indeed no more children of the Bondwoman but of the Freewoman which brings forth the Heir of life the Son of Righteousness which she comes to be clothed with and to have the Moon under her Feet she is clothed with his Righteousness with the Righteousness of Faith which speaketh on this wise Justification by Jesus Christ Abraham by Faith was justified and his Faith was imputed to him for Righteousness so every one that is a child of Faith they are of Abraham's seed according to promise they feel their Faith speaking to them better things than the bloud of Abel so they grow up in Faith and from Faith to Faith and from strength to strength and so at last they meet with the Lord in Sion where they behold the King in his beauty and these come to say How beautiful are thy Tents O Israel how excellent are the dwellings of Jacobs O Israel who is like to thee a People saved of the Lord and this shall be the Song that shall be heard in the Land of Judea we have a strong City for which God hath appointed salvation for Walls and for Bulworks a City that hath foundations whose Builder and Maker is God The God of Abraham and of Israel Hath caused us in pleasant Tents to dwell Abraham was perfect he was in his Tent when the Angel to him God then had sent Jacob a plain man dwelt in Tents Therefore O Israel hasten in within thy Tent And stand within thy Tent door that the Angels of God thou mayest see come in unto thee When they do glad tidings brings That thou may'st Hallelujah sing for evermore For such redemption is drawing nigh That the redeemed shall sing on high Yea their peace shall so increase They shall make sweet melody So turn into your strong hold ye Prisoners of hope hold fast your Hope Faith and Confidence which Anchors go in him that is the Rock which the Storms never did nor never can nor never shall more that it may be known you are the mans building that the Rain nor Storms could not beat down because it was grounded upon the Rock then you will come to say and experience that Greater is he that is in you than he that is without you or he that is in the World so the Prince of this World cometh to try and to sift your Building but all that are anchored in the Rock in Christ Jesus who did conquer and overcome and was made perfect through suffering so all that are in him shall be made more than Conquerours through his love this is their victory even their Faith by which they overcome the World the Flesh and the Devil so by Faith Noah entred into the Ark which by Faith he had built so all ye that have built this day the Ark of God's Covenant by Faith and are entred into it will have a safe hiding place within the rock an hiding place which is sure for ever and all who are without this who are not so surely builded the Flouds is coming that will wash them away and quite beat down their building such will be seen to be the foolish builders whose house is upon the sands where no foundation can be laid and blessed is that man whose God is
that inhabit thy holy Mountain they shall always sing Hallelujah with him that inhabits Eternity and dwelleth in the light he also dwells with the Children of men unto that man will I look said the Lord who is of a broken heart and a contrite Spirit and trembleth at my word So the eye of the Lord runs to and fro in the Earth but his eye is upon the faithful that they may dwell with him so he saith I will walk in them and dwell in them and they shall be my people and the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will place his name in the midst of them the name of the great Jehovah in which is everlasting strength and now the Angel is flying forth saying now is Salvation come the â—ingdom of our God and the power of his Christ and blessed are they who witness this saying the Kingdom of God Come in them and the day of his power come in them which is Christ the power of God these know the raign of Christ and the second coming of Christ in the flesh so every Spirit that confesieth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God and they that deny his coming in the flesh are of Antichrist but many will confess that Jesus Christ once came in the flesh but they must come to know the second coming of Christin their flesh so than they come to a right knowledge of Christ in them the hope of their glory and such will come to say although I have known Jesus Christ after the flesh I shall henceforth know him So no more but after the spirit a quicknig Spirit the Lord from Heaven who is come to quicken and make alive them that were dead in sins and trespasses so these come to know the work that Christ came to do in them and and to make them alive unto God so ye that were once dead in your sins and trespasses he hath made alive and these are faithful witnesses of his coming and resurrection who have seen his comingin them yea Christ is their Wisdom their Sanctification and Redemption and they can say the day of the redeemed is come wherein they come up as sheep from the washing and through the washing of Regeneration These comes to be washed from all Spots and Stains and to ware there washed Garments without spot or stain these were the number that John saw they were not defiled with Women but they were Virgins that follow the Lamb so was the State of the Church of Christ signified and foreshone by the Angel unto the faithful and he saith I send mine Angels to testifie the things to the Churches he that walked in the midst of the golden Candlestick he that is in the midst of the Holy City the streets whereof is paved with pure gold and he saith I will make die Soul of man more precious than the golden wedgâ— of Ophir so he is purifying and refining as a refiner of Silver and a purifier of gold as seven times in the fire that his workman-ship may shine forth in the Nations And Christ saith I come to kindle a fire in the Earth and what if it be already kindled but dost thou feel a spark of this holy fire that Christ is kindling of it in thee of his fire of Love dost thou feel the smoking flax begin to smoke in thy heart And dost thou feel the bruised Reed Dost thou feel thy heart begin to be made tender and a desire begin to arise to know the Lord Then surely the Lord will not quench this smoking flax tho it be but a Spark it shall become a flame and he will not break the brased reed but he will bring it forth to victory So though the grace be little in appearance it is strong enough it is sufficient to save all that trust in it it is saving grace so though the faith be little as a grain of Mustardseed it is able to remove the Mountains and to raire the hills far away it is like the little leeven that the Woman hid in the three measures of Meal until the whole lump was levened so grace is the leeven which as it works in thee it will work such a change and beget such a pure mind such a Spiritual a Christ like mind so thou wilt become like minded and changed into his divine Nature a natural branch ingrafted into the vine and taken of the wild Olive and ingrafted into the new stock so the root will be new and the fruit will be new also so thou wilt come to know the root and of-spring of David thou wilt spring and grow up in him who is the righteous branch of David who shall spring forth as die Cedar of Lebanon and grow as a tree by the Rivers of water whose leaf shall never fade this tree shall grow again in Paradise and shall bring forth twelve manner of fruits and shall yield its fruit every month and bring it forth in due season so the people of the Lord are taught of the Lord and in righteousness they come to be established and great shall be their peace and their peace shall flow as the River they shall be as a well watered Garden who feel the heavenly bedewing and showres the former and the latter Rain the showers of his mercy which are renewed morning by morning so they will come to learn the parable if the fig-tree when she began to put forth her tender bud as in the the time of spring then behold Summer draweth neigh doth this fig-tree begin to cast forth her buds in the dost thou feel the time of come in thee is there a spring of life springing up in the than sinners draweth neigh wherein the turtles voice will be heard and the singing of Birds will be known and such will come to sing the Winter is past the rain is over and gone The Turtles voice is heard now at last The sing of Burds is came The Lord is come and secret he doth reveal They can not hinder him by all there wit and still But his Enemies all he will out run He will conquer them he will them over come The voice of the Bridegroom is heard this day The voice of trumphet and of Victory 21 5th Month 1684.
