Confirmation and we cannot without the highest Affront to that Reason which we pretend so much to but give it to that side which has all the real Characters of Truth and Sincerity when the other has only Phansies and Suspicions to support its Credit But if besides all this God himself has been pleas'd by his Immediate Finger to set his Seal to the Truth of these Revelations and to confirm 'em in a Miraculous Manner as will in part appear by the Account of some Matters of Fact nakedly related in This Letter that are evidently above the Power of Nature then one would think there could be no longer any room for standing out against or even for not surrendring one self up to the Belief of their Divine Original And if all the Marks of True Inspiration be Applicable to These and no Objection has been made to 'em which has not been made to those of the Acknowledg'd Prophets in the Times wherein they liv'd as might be instanc'd at large I know not what more can be desir'd This is left to the Spirits of the Prophets and to the Consideration of all those who profess to believe that sure Word of Prophesie which is the Testimony of JESVS Many Testimonies relating to this Matter might easily be brought were it either Needful or Convenient under the present Circumstances so to do Whence it is thought fit to Publish only One that has been Communicated by an Eye and Ear-witness who made it his Business to be perfectly acquainted with this Matter By all which and by a mighty Cloud who daily bear Testimony hereto and especially by the Two Witnesses of the Old and New Testament there are some who for their own parts dare say that they are fully Convinc'd both as to the Revelations consider'd apart and as to the Blessed Lady whom God has chosen to be the Instrument of ' em Who is not in the decrease at all but still gloriously proceeds as is well known to many in the Increase of this Marvellous Illumination The Sun-beams of the Divine Light and Glory do every day more Throughly and more Intimately Enlighten the Bright Wounds of Jesus do daily more and more purifie Her and in short she is in such a manner prepar'd that if She be call'd out hereafter of the Solitude in which she is at present and be Crown'd with Glory Wisdom and Power it will be no more than what we may reasonably expect It is not to be doubted but that the Spirit will bear Witness that this is Truth to all that will listen to it in the pure stilness of Holy Silence And I am well assur'd that here in England in like manner as it has done in Germany and Holland it must work with great Power on the Souls of many and that God will do something in a little time to awaken the Slumbering Nations But granting there should be nothing at all Divine in this Matter I can't see any Hurt that the Publishing of it to this Nation would be For here is no Encouragement to any Frantick Zeal to set up it self in the Name of the Lord nothing to promote Seditions Strifes and Dissentions but the quite contrary nothing for the Establishing a Sect or Party but frequent and powerful Incitements to Peace Unity and Love of every one Nothing taught but what is highly Agreeable to the Doctrine of Christ and nothing Foretold which a Good Man may not wish for or which as to the Main is not publickly Pray'd for in Most or All the Congregations of Any that are call'd Christians In some of 'em Occasionally in others Constantly As the Conversion of the Jews the Fulness of the Gentiles the Destruction of all Idolatry Superstition Heresie and Schism the Settlement of Peace Truth and Righteousness over the whole Earth that so all that will may come to be Enlighten'd and those that will not but obstinately refuse the Light may be cast out into the outward Darkness the Kingdoms of this World being made the Kingdom of our God and of his Christ and there being One Fold under One Shepherd If then these things be in themselves desirable and to be Pray'd for and have been Pray'd for above these Sixteen Hundred Years we must needs allow that there can't be any Hurt in the Belief of 'em to be near at hand And consequently let this Matter of Fact be never so contestible it can have no Bad Influence either upon the Lives and Actions of Any or upon Publick Affairs But if this Matter be indeed of God God will go along with it Here and those that Fight against it will be found to Fight against God So that if it be of Him it shall stand and Triumph and if it be not of Him none can more Earnestly desire that it may come to Nothing than He who sends it Now abroad to the English Nation for this End that God alone may be Glorify'd and that Truth and Righteousnes may Prevail to the Confusion of Errour and Impiety To which let all the Earth say Amen Hallelujah Come Holy Ghost our Souls inspire And lighten with Celestial Fire Thou the Anointing Spirit c.

A LETTER To Some DIVINES Concerning the Question Whether GOD since Christ 's Ascension doth any more Reveal himself to Mankind by the means of Divine Apparitions With an Exact Account of what God hath bestowed upon a Noble Maid from her Seventh Year until Now MDCXCI Written Originally in High-Dutch and now set forth in English by the Editor of the LAWS of PARADISE newly Published 1 Cor. 2.16 Who hath known the Mind of the LORD that he may instruct him But we have the Mind of CHRIST LONDON Printed and Sold by John Whitlock in Stationers-Court near Ludgate 1695. TO THE English READER MAny and Vain have been the Pretensions to Inspiration in all Ages of the World even â—o many as to make one almost doubt of the Reality of Any Thing that would be thought to be of that kind If God has had his Prophets the Devil has always had his in much more abundance and he has learnt so well to transform himself into an Angel of Light that it requires perhaps something more than Man to trace out his Windings and pluck off his Vizard Hence it is that some Considering Persons and those as there is reason to believe of Good Intentions have at the end after long Search and Puzlings of their Brain on this Head been tempted to conclude that whatever goes beyond the Reach of the Ordinary Light of Reason or Claims to be deriv'd from an higher Source is Uncertain and altogether Unsatisfactory Whence they have thought it sufficient to observe the Laws of Natural and Moral Religion And for fear they should be Impos'd upon have cut the Knot at once and so without fairly weighing the Arguments on both sides have too hastily decided the Controversie in favour of Human Reason against Divine Revelation Others who are convinc'd of the Corruption and Degeneracy of our Nature the Vncertainty of Human Reasoning and the Imperfect Knowledge which we have at best of the Divine Being or of our own Spirits and Souls have thought it absolutely impossible without the assistance of a more than Ordinary Illumination from Him who is the Fountain of Lights to arrive at any True Discerning in the Concerns of Religion Hence they have determin'd it Necessary and Included in the very Notion of a God which supposes the Care of All that has proceeded from Him that God should send his Prophets Apostles Evangelists and other Inspir'd Teachers to inform us of our Present and Future State so far as is needful for us to know to admonish us of our Duty to keep up in us a Sense of his All-directing Providence and to Foretel and Prepare our Minds for the reception of the various Dispensations of his Love and Justice For the Perfecting of the Saints and for the Building up the Body of Christ that by the means of These we may grow up into Him who is the Head But all this say many among the Great the Wise and the Learned has been sufficiently provided for already God has reveal'd his Holy Will to us in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament the Canon of which is now Seal'd up Christ having abundantly Instructed his Disciples in all that 's Necessary to make Mankind Happy whilst he Convers'd with 'em here Below is now Ascended up on High and speaks no more to us but in that Book which He has left behind for the Ordinary Guidance of his Church until he shall come again in like manner as he was seen to go up He has also forewarned us that in the Latter Days many False Prophets and False Christs should arise who would deceive if it were possible the very Elect. We have Moses and the Prophets yea we have Christ and the Apostles Therefore 't is just that we should cleave to these Alone without looking for any further Revelation or Manifestation from God lest we should come to be Deluded by Dreams and Legends or Tales of Women and to be carry'd about with every Wind or Spirit of Doctrine by the sleights of Men lying in wait to deceive Many instances are produced by them of such as have Knowingly or Ignorantly been the Instruments of Seduction and have drawn in many into a Belief not only of the greatest Extravagances but also of the highest Blasphemies And so many things are truly urg'd concerning the strength of Imagination and the Effects of Religious Melancholly that I do not much wonder at 'em for suspecting all that they hear of Extraordinary Illumination to be no better Notwithstanding which prejudices I have yet met with some few Persons both Abroad and at Home that are neither Fools nor Madmen of whom I do sincerely profess after much Doubting and long Examining that they seem to me assisted in a Special Manner by God for some Great and Glorious Ends which are as yet hid from the World These live in great Humility and Simplicity entire Resignation universal Love and an Heroical Faith that is without Doubting without Fear and as free from Credulity as from either In whom I have beheld the Princely Magnanimity of the Lion mix'd with the Meek Sweetness of the Lamb. With these they go forth Conquering and to Conquer in the Power of God being Dedicated to him and most assuredly Possess'd Enlighten'd and Actuated by Him not living their own Life but His neither speaking their own Words nor doing their own Deeds but letting Him Speak and Act all in them whose Right it is to be All in All of whose Nature they are made Partakers in the New Birth having in 'em the Mind of Christ and being truly the Temples of the Holy Ghost They have their Eyes constantly fix'd upon the Author and Finisher of this Warfare for the sake of whom they not only endure the Cross but what is more to a Brave Spirit despise the Shame They are especially given to the Reading of the Holy Scriptures and they believe the Lives of the Antient Worthies that are there Recorded to be set down for them to Copy and not to give 'em barely an Historical Knowledge of some strange Particulars that are not Now any longer Practicable They say that Moses and the Prophets Christ and the Apostles have all had respect to and prophesy'd of the Times that are approaching very swiftly They expect in these Latter Days to see many False Prophets and False Christs setting up themselves yea that the Great Antichrist shall be reveal'd in the Deceivableness of Lying Wonders But they are not at this at all solicitous or troubled they know on whom they relye they will not mistrust their Heavenly Father as if he would suffer them to be misled who have given up themselves without reserve to be led by Him Let Him do say they with us as he pleases we are no longer our Own but His We know our own Weakness and Inability to Guide our selves and that as we cannot but Err and go Astray whenever we follow the Devices and Desires of our own Hearts let 'em appear
it not to be wondred at if it be again permitted to Triumph against His Second Appearance in the Glory of the Father Neither doth the Breaking in of Spiritual Delusion any more than that of Sadducism make against what I aim at but very much for it Both the one and the other have been Foretold and therefore we cannot look for something Better without we look for This too But the great Variety of Spirits ought no more than the Variety of Religious Opinions or the Difference of Human Reasonings to discourage any Lover of Truth from the Searching into so Great and Instantaneous a Concern as this And as one who truly Honours God will not be afraid of the Imputation of Atheism or of being counted to be of no Religion at all in that he cannot acknowledge every thing to be His Word which the Glosses of Men would make to be so So neither on the other side will he be frighten'd with a Fools Cap or the Charge of Enthusiasm so as to be asham'd to own the Pure Teachings of the Spirit of Christ which in all Times entring into Holy Souls makes them Friends of God and Prophets Whereas indeed as nothing is more opposite to Atheism than the true Knowledge of Nature so is nothing more contrary to Enthusiastick Madness than the true Inspiration of the Divine Wisdom and nothing so widely distant from Phansie whatever some Unexperienc'd Persons may imagine as that Real and Sensible Communion with God which our Spirits and Souls are capable of arriving to even in This Life And let those who justly think nothing to be more Derogatory to the Divine Majesty than to be always crying out The Word of the Lord Or The Finger of the Lord Take heed on the other side lest they be found among those who go about to oppose the Revelations he is pleas'd to give of himself In these several ways is our good God Awakening Men to the Knowledge of his Glory and of the Future Times in the Appearance of Jesus by his Living Power in their Hearts while the Adversary that knows he has but a little time longer to rage is using all means to lull 'em Asleep or to make 'em Frantick All sorts of People all Religions and Parties bespeak as much wonderful Providences and strange Revolutions and Alterations of this last Age and this Island particularly for Fifty Years past confirm as much These are General Considerations and there are some others also which your Astrological and Cabalistical Heads give some heed to which I purposely omit But there are some more Particular ones First as for the Blessed Instrument of these Revelations there are all the Indications of Truth and Sincerity that can reasonably be requir'd in such a Case I reckon it a very good proof of the Truth of the Christian Religion that those who first deliver'd it to the World were Persons that could not but be well inform'd of the Truth of what they declar'd and could have no Temptation to Publish it but all manner of Temptations to suppress and conceal it Whence it is to me no bad Proof of the Reality of this Matter if the Principal Instrument her self with several others about her must needs be suppos'd to have had all the Moral Assurances of this Fact whether it be a True Inspiration or a False Delusion and if a True Inspiration not only Moral but also Divine Assurances of the Truth of this intimate Communion with the Spirit of God And if besides there can't be any one Reason produc'd that should tempt this Person to invent and send abroad a Falshood or Heap of Falshoods of this Nature and if there be many Reasons to the contrary the Proof is still stronger Now thus it is here at the very first view to any one that but considers Her Condition and Quality in the World the Reputation of the Family and the Improbability if not Impossibility of her not being discover'd supposing it a meer contrivance to deceive Which has been abundantly confirm'd by Experience both before and since the First Publication of This Letter I also reckon it a very great Proof of the Truth of a Thing if it comes certainly from One that has little Ability to Contrive it and less to Promote it And indeed nothing tends more to the Glory of God than to make use of Weak Instruments that so nothing may be attributed to them but all to Him who is a God that loves out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings to perfect his Praise and to begin Meanly that he may accomplish his Work more Gloriously according to Section XIII This is a mighty Confirmation of the Gospel of the Blessed Jesus and I do not see why it should not be also of the Spirit of the same Jesus speaking In and By the Mouth of this Elect Virgin It also mightily encreases the Credibility of a Matter if it be confirm'd by Persons either in different Times or Places of whom there is no Reason to suppose that they have had any Communication together or Knowledge of one another Wherefore if it appear that several Things deliver'd by this Person do most exactly concur and agree even after a very Nice Examination with what has been before predicted by a Succession of Prophets and Inspir'd Persons in several Ages whose Authority is also allow'd by us and if there be no reason to suppose that she can have had those Notices from them it must follow that she must either have receiv'd what she has deliver'd from the same Hand as they did or else that she must have been instructed by One that was perfectly skill'd in their Writings to believe which we have nothing but simple Conjecture against many Reasons to the contrary Therefore if the Authority of the one be good the Authority of the other must be so too And we cannot Deny one but we must Deny both Besides if there be not only with all the Prophets of the People of God but also with several others who were Strangers to his Written Law an Harmony as to the Main Things contain'd in This Book concerning the Glorious Days of the Future Golden Period the Authority is still stronger And if the Consent be remarkable in some less heeded Particulars it is yet more wonderful and not to be slighted And tho' they all should have been no more Sanctified or Regenerated than Balaam and should have Prophesy'd no otherwise than He or Caiaphas it 's so far from weakening that it strengthens their Evidence In as much as the Favourable Testimony of an Enemy goes beyond that of a Friend Further still if in the same Time at very distant Places there has been found to be as by Letters from Switzerland and other remote Parts has been witness'd such an Agreement as could not possibly proceed but either from a Divine or Humane Communication and there be all the Marks of the One and none at all of the Other it 's a mighty

Right Reverend and Worthy Fathers and Brethren in Christ I. SInce God in these our Times has done great Things on a young Lady worthy of admiration to all the World therefore thought I my self obliged in Conscience to give you a Relation of this Matter as exact as is possible requesting you to impart to me what you shall judge of this Affair as Christians and in the Fear of God And indeed the Worth and Excellence of the Subject requires that you refuse me not this Favour II. A Daughter of a very Honourable Family was Born in the Year MDCLXXII in the Month of November who is now Nineteen Years old the Seventh Child of her Parents who from her Infancy has been of a good Humour having neither Melancholy nor Subtilty in her Temper as all those can witness who have conversed with her Who must grant that there is in her something that is Innocent without any disguise and that there needs no more but only to look on her to perceive something that cannot be expressed of Great and Singular in her very Face Notwithstanding these high Qualities she is yet so Humble and Submissive as if she had them not She Sacrifices them all to Him from whom she has receiv'd them and to whom alone that Honour is due so that I am bold to say in the Presence of God that I have never seen so Humble an Heart endow'd with so rare Perfections and I believe the Ages which are past can hardly bring a Parallel III. As she was Seven Years old without having ever pray'd for any such high Matters she received from God a most Particular Favour One day being with her Mother who then according to her Custom made her Family to perform their common Devotions she saw in the midst of her Prayer a Person clad all in Glory and of most wonderful Beauty making up towards her with a great deal of kindness who had a Golden Shield before his Breast and whose Face was full of Light This she discover'd the very same moment to her Elder Sister who not regarding it let it pass IV. After which this lovely Conversation of her Saviour encreasing according as she advanced in Years it fell out that one day at Dinner her Sisters telling one another in the presence of their Mother what they had Dream'd the Night before she said to them that she indeed had not any Dreams at all but that the Saviour of the World whom she beheld to regard her with a very gracious look had in this wise expresly spoken to her I am JESVS CHRIST who am wounded for thee I will betroth my self to thee for evermore and will remain thy Bridegroom Adding that after this he had promis'd to send her his Angel to gather up her Tears when she should be Afflicted Which punctually came to pass when weeping one time for the grief which a Fit of a Feaver had caused she saw an Angel gathering up her Tears in a Golden Vial with a Conceit of most Majestick Musick which struck her Ears being for certain all the while Awake V. This happened about her Ninth Year but in the following Years the Lord manifested himself to her still more Gloriously every day For one time as she was according to her Custom before God in Prayer she perceiv'd an Hand to be laid upon her Head and this Voice uttered Cast thy Burthen upon the Lord Hope in him and he shall do thee good She receiv'd these Words in Faith which prov'd to her afterward a Sure Comfort on all Occasions VI. A little while after this being all alone in her Prayer she saw again the same Person that she had seen before but in greater Majesty and Glory drawing near to her as if it were to embrace her It is true that at the first this gave her some little Dread but He the Saviour who is the strength of the weak did in such wise strengthen her that her Spirit being quite fill'd with Love all Fear was driven out VII When she was now about Twelve Years old the Lord shewed her the whole Course or Representation of his Passion in like manner as it had been exhibited in the Year MDCXXV to Christiern IV. King of Denmark in the Castle of Rosenbourg She had also besides this about the same time many Divine Openings and Revelations of mighty Importance which at present cannot be here all particulariz'd But this is not to be omitted that she once appeared to her self to be cloathed in a white Robe and to become very great And many Stars in the Heavens she beheld casting their Rays upon her Body by which means it was rendred very Luminous and Glorious Now asking the Lord what might be the meaning of all this she receiv'd for an Answer that these were only Glances of his Favour to her At the same time she heard a Voice above the Clouds which repeated three several times these words Fear God and keep his Commandments Fear God and keep his Commandments Let all the World fear God and keep his Commandments This being ended she saw CHRIST surrounded with a great multitude of Saints in white Robes and Crowns of Gold on their Heads which they took off and cast at his Feet and prostrating themselves sung To thee O Lamb of God be the honour and the praise for ever and ever VIII This lovely and sweet Saviour presented himself once to her saying Be not afraid Thou art my Love my Fair one my Dearest my Queen and I am thy Friend thy King and Shepherd I will not forsake thee nor neglect thee Be at rest and fear nothing I strengthen thee and uphold thee I will not take away that which I have given thee For hereto I have ordained thee from all Eternity HE also at other times witness'd the same to others whom she was oblig'd to write to in these words I am revealed in the Spirit to a Maid whose Mother is a Widow IX Another time JESUS CHRIST appeared to her in this manner His Blood sparkling like Rubies ran down from his most holy Head the little Wounds in his Face being laid open glitter'd very much from his Hands and Feet stream'd forth bright Blood and a very shining Chrystalline Water HE spoke to her these words which she noted down at that very time Come my Dove and rest in my Heart for

Amen 11. Next follows a Glorious Promise how God's Truth shall break forth like Light so that none shall be able to withstand it and that it shall fall like Fire into the Eyes of the Fools whence dread and trouble shall come upon them Should I not in this time cause my unfathomable Faithfulness and mine Everlasting Love to break forth seeing that the Hour is come Yea my Light shall arise in the Darkness and my Truth shall Shine like the Sun in his full strength for my Statutes I will make to be acknowledged and my Truth will I not suffer to lye hid in obscurity I will do another thing in Israel yea a strange thing will I do which shall drop from the Spirit of Truth and like Fire fall into the Eyes of the Unwise And if they will not receive it Darkness shall seize upon them O slumber not now ye Wise Virgins but stand on your Watch for the Bridegroom cometh Go ye forth with a new noise Praise ye and Magnifie my Name O ye Nations and Armies For the New Jerusalem is about building Be ye then compacted every one to another in the Love taking no thought how it should be for I am with you 12.

A very lovely Consolation for Judah and Israel with a Comfortable word to the First-born of Joy in their Posterity Hope in the Lord O Israel shout for joy O Judah for the Lord hath looked upon thee in kindness He shall make thee to rejoyce O thou First-born in thy Posterity I am He that hath said it But to whom is my secret known and who is there that understandeth my meaning Nevertheless the Deep shall utter forth the praises of my Righteousness and the Clouds shall declare my Truth Dear Children be not afraid for I am the Truth Abide in my Truth and what is there that can disturb you Unto you I am All in All. He that loveth me hath Everlasting Life and is Justified in me through the power of Faith Cry aloud lift up your Voices for I am a wonderful God one who levelleth the Mountains and pulleth up Men from the Deep of the Earth Be at peace my dear Sion Waver not my Child Behold in thine hands I have signed thee I am a God of thy Name a Keeper of Israel a Friend of Sion a Benefactor of Ephraim Trouble not your selves dear Friends for no Evil shall be able to reach you and as for what you undertake it shall prosper for I will set your Feet in a large place XVIII All these Testimonies and many more were given by God to this Blessed Maid before I had any manner of Acquaintance with Her Upon the Evidence of which she is so Convinced of the Divinity of this matter that not withstanding all the Contradiction and Opposition of Men she doth without the least mixture of Doubt or Fear believe in pure Simplicity and Child-like Confidence that whatever the Lord hath told or shall according to the expectation of her Faith hereafter tell her shall be punctually fulfil'd both in Her and in others She knows in whom she Believes and understands to distinguish between the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Errour with a clear Eye She bears with those who are not as yet able to own in her the Lord's Work but withal she believes that if they be of upright Hearts they will not be swift to pass Sentance upon Her as also that as many as are Enlighten'd by the Divine Light will be capable to feel that to be from God which God has bestow'd upon her But in bearing thus with the weak she permits not her self to be made Weak And so far is she from being disturb'd at the Blasphemous Sentence of the Unbelievers that she prays for them that God would not therefore on a sudden bring them into Judgment as might justly be fear'd but that he would in mercy delay it who is a God using terribly to punish the Blasphemy of imputing that to the Devil which proceeds from the Holy Ghost She says and maintains No body can make me doubtful of that which I have seen and heard No body knows the New Name but he that receives it None but the Spirit of Man which is in him knows what is in Man even so the things of God are not known to any save to the Spirit of God Now we have received not the Spirit of the World but the Spirit of God that we might be able to know what is given us of God With this one Testimony of the Holy Spirit She overthrows all the Objections made against her from Without which for the most part come from those who cleave too much to the Flesh Notwithstanding all which she trusts that in the end God will manifest His Work so as all the World may own that it is even He himself who hath witnessed all these Words by Her XIX But that you may understand the Method in which these Revelations pass and how this B. Maid doth not see with her Gross and Corporeal Eyes or hear with her Corporeal Ears but doth see and hear the Lord in Spirit and how she doth from time to time write down from his sweet Mouth the Words which she thus hears I will here import a Testimony which was given her on the Twelfth on November in the Year MDCLXXXVIII The LORD himself dictating the same as she wrote to the end that if any were desirous to be inform'd concerning the manner of the Revelation she might be able to answer them in His own Words Which are these Peace be with you the Friends of Our JESUS the Saints Blessed and Beloved I speak with you as one Friend Speaks with another I speak at this time with the Mouth of Truth that I may be heard yet not outwardly by the Bodily but inwardly by the Spiritual Ear which is a Thousand times more delicate then the Outward one I speak to you by my self as true God and true Man and cause my self to be seen not by the Eyes of the Body but by the Internal Eyes the Eyes of the Spirit of such a Spirit naturally as is united and betrothed most strictly to me And this manner of Sight is real tho' it be hidden and subtil This I know will seem strange to you who do not yet understand my Mysteries and my Wonders Yet I tell it you that you may be able to discourse of it properly according to my Inspiration For so and by this means have I spoken to you all those sweet Words which you have hitherto written I have this further in love to speak and say to you Rejoyce ye for your great Glory and Honour since you are rendred so bright through my Righteousness as to become white as the Snow to be cleansed and purged from all Sin yea to be one Heart with me and to be my Temple and Holy Habitation Keep now the House of your Heart clean and let it be mine neither suffer your corrupt sinful Will nor the Love of the Creatures to Lord it therein So will I sink down very deeply into you and then will arise up again in you and such a purifying will I make within you that you shall praise me both with Heart and Mouth My dear little Children rejoice ye for my sake and be of good Courage for I am with you Lay your selves now to rest in my Holy Will and pursue it that I may make you the Instruments of my Graces and Gifts XX. But as the Divinity of this Affair hath been witnessed particularly to some Friends so hath it been to my Wife and Me. For after that God had before this even while we were yet in Holstein made known to us not by such high and extraordinary Revelatiosn but by his Spirit in his Word the great Promise made to Israel in Scripture and the Mystery of his Kingdom and that we for the sake of this had suffered a great deal it pleased him to let us have for about a Year since the knowledge of this Gentle vvoman of whom we had not then heard any thing by the means of a devout Person with whom we
make my Love to be known for as much as I have heard them and my Heart loveth them for evermore Amen But as Slanders encreased more and more we were again stirr'd up and encourag'd in this manner Peace be with you Fear not for my Mercy shall never be removed from you neither my Love shall at all cease for it surpasseth every breadth and every heighth so exceeding great is it wherefore it 's fit that it should make it self seen and heard in all Corners and in all Places for it is therefore risen very richly upon you and advanceth forward in Might And I say once more that when I shall come and do a new thing and deliver the Prisoners of Sion then this Love shall shine forth and be revealed with power Be not then afraid O my Zion nor be thou cast down O my Ephraim for thy Towers shall be built up and I will beget my self in thee Be joyful therefore since all my Prophetical Words I maintain and do according to my Everlasting Purpose For this cause shout for Joy O Daughter of Sion And play thou Ephraim in the Cymbals and Dances Shout for Joy ye Heavens the Work of my Hands and let all the Sons of God give a lusty shout yea all those that call upon my Name and all those that are faint and cast down let them be joyful for the Glorious Day of my Appearance in which I will together with all the Faithful both those who live and those who are faln asleep Reign Triumphantly over my Enemies This is what I wait for now be ye therefore joyful for my coming For Lo I come and rule with Might in that Kingdom and no Body dare resist me for it is the Day of my Marriage wherein I will drink with you of the new Fruit of the Kingdom Wherefore rejoice ye and sing aloud for this is my Word of Truth XXIII 1. Our mutual Love encreased and we became one Heart and one Soul With this Brotherly Love these Friends were stirred up to come and speak with us yet they could not do it without they were certain it was God's Will Which having waited to know they receiv'd according to their desire this gracious Answer Make your selves ready to go along in Simplicity and Silence to my Faithful Servants whom I love I will be with you and my Love shall guide you Be ye therefore of one Mind in the Spirit and go thither in Charity for as much as ye now know my holy Will Live contentedly and fear not for I fight for you and my Truth is your Defence and Buckler 2. This brought us Joy and Blessing Our House too like that heretofore of Obed-Edom was blest in such wise that being far from wanting any thing we were from their Presence laden as it were with Divine Blessings succeeding one another and especially with many gracious Testimonies by which the LORD animated us after this manner I the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob declare to thee the Truth and Hope in which the Fathers have hoped Yea yea I witness it even I the true and faithful Witness the First-born from the Dead that thou maist bear witness of the Truth of my Kingdom for it is a true Kingdom a Kingdom nigh at hand to you Yea yea it is certain I come suddenly Turn ye neither to the right nor to the left all ye who know my Truth and rejoice in the Faith I embrace you all with my Love and I say Be ye happy and praise my Name 3. And soon afterward we receiv'd also this Holy Revelation from the Riches of his Goodness Dear Friends whom I have brought together and whom I have sanctified to my self Peace be with you My Countenance is over you and the Light of it shines upon you in much Love Arise therefore lift up your Voice to me in my Praise Be not terrified for I am in the midst of you and lead you according to my Hearts desire Be ye of one Mind and hold fast one to another for I am with you and bless you for ever I greet you all with my Love and press you to my Breast and declare to you that the Light is risen and the Dawn of the Glorious Bridal Day begins to spread The Bride rejoices for the Nuptial Day the Turtle Dove lets her self be heard the Day breaks forth the Morning Star gets up the Children of the Father make merry together and my Bride is full of Joy and to her a Golden Shield is given to defend her against the Darkness which also breaks forth in its Fog The Dragon Arms himself with those who belong to him why should I not then Arm my Bride and let her see what she is to enjoy The Day-break must go before and Antichrist must behold how the Light rises up against his Darkness Cry therefore aloud for Joy ye blessed for you shall be gloriously Armed against the Wicked for I am your King who Conquer the Kingdom I come suddenly Amen XXIV 1. My Wife in the Humility of her Heart and in Faith besought the Lord by the Elect Maid that he would reveal in what Church we are at present since according to His own Explication the Seven Churches in the Revelation do set forth Seven successive Periodical Communities To which Prayer the Lord was pleased to Answer thus Peace be with thee How should I be displeased with thee that thou speakest before me For I am very Charitable toward thee Hear then my Word thou little Dove Lo the Church of Laodicea fighteth powerfully against the Beast and that of Philadelphia in which you are at present ends gloriously with Spirit and Power in the Believers And this Church shall compleat that which I have chosen and to it shall be the Gathering together of the Peoples that Believe This I witness that thou maist in like manner witness that it is true Farewel 2. Upon the Thirtieth of March MDCXCI there came this following dear Testimony Peace Happiness and Salvation be with you O ye Elect whom I have taken up into my Eternal Communion whom I my self have for my pleasure hallowed in my Eyes Give ear then ye beloved and blessed of me The Bride is for my pleasure Everlastingly hallowed and is in each one singly by me purified and preserved Happy are ye who live in this present day All that have been Rebellious must return to their Duty and all that have gone astray will I bring home again with Joy But as for the Virgins they are pure they are cleansed and set apart they are Redeemed to be my First-fruits that so they may be the first to open the Matrix therefore are they nearest to me for they are Redeemed from among Men they are the Sap and the Balm which gets vigorously above the Old and breaks the Matrix in the New-birth And these being made Perfect who among the Daughters shall be liken'd unto them She the Virgin Bride shall be a Lioness and
Experience propose to the Lord the Treachery and Abomination of any one else And concluded not to propose to Him any thing but what should proceed from an humble Heart wanting to be satisfied And in this Resolution she hath been Confirm'd by the Lord himself who spake to her in this manner I am Holy therefore let every one that cometh to Ask of me examine himself well whether he be likewise of a clean Heart And if not let him not think that I should visit him in my Word to Answer him For this end hold thou to Me for I will not that thy Righteous Soul should be importuned by the impure Wretches of this World Go out from their Abominations and receive not any thing at all from them For I am the LORD Nay even those who love Me if they come not to me in a Child-like and Humble Heart they shall not be heard by me Let every one that dareth to lift up his Eyes toward me come himself to me with his Heart and not by Letter and I will answer him willingly and will not shut him out I go before in Love For hitherto have I spoken in patience but they would make an ill use of it and would make thee to sin without thy knowledge Break then the Cords and suffer not thy self to be bound and take nothing from them but only from such as are true-hearted and humble Such will I hear when they complain and will answer when they enquire not out of Curiosity Now although the Lord will not Answer such Curious Enquirers and She Sanctify'd and Purify'd in the Blood of Christ will not admit of such like Questions yet nevertheless He was the very same day so Good as to give us that which follows Courage My SION thou dear Shulamite shalt now go suddenly forth out of Babylon I will give to thee the Wings of Righteousness that thou mayest fly away from the Abomination of Babel Thou shalt have no Communion with her that so thou mayest not be polluted For I will have thee to be clean and without Spot I will cloath thee with the Saphir and will Crown thee with Righteousness For thou hast been rudely treated and thy Wounds have been very bad but now it is all over For the Vine beginneth to put forth its Branches and I take pleasure in my Bride for she is become lovely in my Eyes Therefore will I deck her with Light and Glory without measure and she shall find that I deal kindly with her Let then the Babylonian Wicked insult over you with all their might Be ye not dismayed hereat I am your Buckler your Defence and your Armour and with Justice I cover you as with a Garment I the LORD am arming my self to fight for you with a Mighty Arm For now is the time that Light and Darkness must be separated from each other that so SION may dwell before Me. And verily the Cherubs with Thrones and Principalities are in Array to Fight for Sion against Babel But take this in a right Sense The Battel is for the sake of Sion's Spirit that her Cause may be strengthn'd and made certain and that there may be a Separation from the Works of Babel For this end it is time that ye watch and stand upon your Guards Night and Day For I come and do sound all the Depths And therefore I witness thus and will witness in all Languages and Tongues and will pour out my Spirit largely and adorn my Bride as to the Marriage-feast yea as to the Triumph She shall cry aloud for Joy and magnifie my Name aforehand When all this shall be transacted before in the Spirit then shall the Decree or Curse come forth against Babel And Sion shall then be as an Armed Man and I as a Roaring Lion against Babel and all her Abominations And then shall the Jdugment be revealed and come forth Wo to you ye Earthly-minded Men when I come Of whom is that saying true That I shall not find Faith upon the Earth But Blessed are the Simple and the Children for unto such doth the Kingdom belong Therefore be still rest in humility and fear not for I am before you Again I say Blessed are the little Children for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven Yea yea Amen! say I the Lord of Lords the God and Saviour in the Spirit of these Children Wherefore study that you may become like to them and so shall ye be made all Light Rejoice ye for the Victory is to Sion XXXV Before I consider the Questions I shall from some Passages of holy Scripture succinctly prove that God never declar'd it to be his Will that there should be no more Apparitions or Revelations after our Saviours Ascension but that on the contrary he hath given express Promises in his Word that before the Dreadful Day of the Lord he will send forth his Scribes Learned in the Kingdom of Heaven his Wisemen and Prophets for a Warning to the World and for an Encouragement to his Faithful Servants Neither have we any room for Doubt as to the Divinity of these Visions and Revelations if once it appear that the Lord according to his holy Purpose and Will doth really and according to the Rules laid down by Mr. Fabricius Superintendent-General of Pomerania in his Discourse * De Probatione Visionum of the Trial of Visions give to his Children in all Ages of the Church such Manifestations as these Of which the said Author has Collected together a great number of Examples from Approv'd Fathers Doctors and other Writers XXXVI That God therefore will for that he may if he will I suppose there is no Divine will deny grant such like Apparitions and extraordinary Revelations I prove first from the Prophet Joel Chap. 2. of which take this brief Account Now that the Contents of this Chapter have never yet been Accomplish'd since the time of Joel will be put out of all Dispute The time in which he Prophesied is not express'd but however certain it is that it was before the Captivity of Babylon Let us then see whether the Prophesie contain'd in this Chapter can have had its fulfulling either in the Calamity which the City of Jerusalem and the People of the Jews suffer'd by Nebuchadnezzar or in that other brought upon them by Titus Vespasian Now it is certain by these Verses viz. 1 7 9 and 11. that when this Chapter must have its Accomplishment then Mount Sion must be in a good Estate and the City of Jerusalem with its Temple be standing Moreover in ver 2. a Day which is call'd the Day of the Lord is describ'd as a Day of Darkness and of Gloominess of Clouds and of thick Darkness And this shall herein consist that a mighty and strong People of whom there has not been ever the like neither shall be any more to all Eternity shall come upon Jerusalem as the Morning spread upon the Mountains Now that this cannot be said
third place since that to this present day the Captivity of Judah and of Jerusalem is not turn'd away nor all the Heathens judged and much less in the Valley of Jehosaphat Joel 3.2 9 10 11 12. which the 14th Chapter of the Revelations compar'd with the Third of this Prophet ver 13. lays down as a thing which ought yet to come And lastly since the 16 17 18 19 20 and 21 Verses are not hitherto in their power executed namely that Jerusalem shall be Holy and that no Stranger shall pass through her any more but that Judah shall abide for ever and Jerusalem from Generations to Generations It is not to be doubted upon all these Considerations but that God will according to his Promise After that time I will pour out my Spirit upon all Flesh cause such Visions Prophesies and Revelations as are here describ'd effectually to be in this Latter Time in like manner as he hath by many Powerful Testimonies witness'd to the same by the Elect Virgin and confirm'd us in the expectation of its future Completion XXXVII In the Holy Revelation of Jesus Christ for this ought to be the Title of that Holy Book according to Chap. 1. where it is said That God gave this Revelation unto Jesus Christ to shew unto his Servants there is also found a clear Argument of God's Will that he will send his Two Witnesses Adorn'd with very many singular Powers true Miracles and consequently many Extraordinary Gifts who shall Prophesie Twelve Hundred and Sixty Days Rev. 11.3 c. This is done in the Fifth Seal in which their Companions and they both at the last when they shall have finish'd their Testimony shall be kill'd and after Three Days and an Half shall truly and bodily rise again to the Terrour of their Enemies and ascend up to Heaven in the Clouds their Enemies beholding them Now that this has not been hitherto Accomplish'd is evident in that the Miracles which are here specify'd as for instance That they should go forth in the Power of Moses and of Elias and cause Fire to fall from Heaven and turn the Waters into Blood and shut Heaven for the space of Three Years and an Half as did Elias Jam. 4. to the end it rain not have not been yet seen Besides the Judgment which follows after the Twelve Hundred and Threescore Days is not yet come which shall be at the Second Wo in the Sixth Trumpet After which shall quickly succeed the Third Wo of the Seven Vials of Wrath being the Seven last Plagues in the Seventh Trumpet and shall make an end of Babylon and of the Enemies of God to the glorious bringing forth of a Better Time of which it is said Now are the Kingdoms of the World become the Kingdoms of the LORD and of his CHRIST And also We give thee thanks O Lord God Almighty who art and wast and art to come because thou hast taken to thy self great Power and Dominion Rev. 11.15 17. Whereas at this time Babylon is standing in its full Vigour therefore the Witnesses are still to come But about the time that Babylon shall be Judg'd the Two Witnesses which are sent by Christ shall before give their Testimony by Prophesies and Miracles according to God's Promise in which his Will is contained That God should do such Miracles as these in the Last Time was both foreseen and believ'd by that dear Man of God Luther who in his Commentary upon the First Book of Moses thus delivers himself (a) Postquam Noah fui diu clamaverunt acccusantes malitiam Mundi ostendit tandem Dominus se quoque illam malitiam videre ulcisci velle Hunc secundum gradum nos quoque Hodie expectamus nec dubium est quin erunt ALIQUI HOMINES quibus revelabitur ista mundi perditio futura Nisi forte ea perditio erit dies novissimus extremum judicium quod sane optamus Et Lat. f. m. 122. a. When Noah and his Sons had a long while Preach'd accusing the Wickedness of the World the Lord at last shews that he also saw the Wickedness and would revenge it This in some Degree we also at this day expect Nor is it to be doubted but that there will be SOME PERSONS to whom this Future Destruction of the World shall be revealed Unless perhaps this Destruction may be the Last Day and the Final Judgment which we indeed do hope And in his Preface upon Amos he says (b) Hic mos est Domino Deo nostro ut quoties insignis aliqua rerum mutatio instat quoties egregium aliquod malum imminet mittat Prophetas suos aut Ministros verbi qui verbum nuncient qui futura mala praedicent ut saltem Aliqui convertantur ad poenitentiam reducantur Tom. III. Jen. Lat. This is the manner with the Lord our God as often as any Signal Revolution is at hand or any notable Evil doth impend to send his Prophets and Ministers of his Word who may Preach the Word and Foretel the Evils that are to come that some at least may be Converted and Call'd to Repentance Also in the German Edition of his Works he hath the (c) Tom. IX Edit Wittemberg Germ. f. m. 268 269 seq Vision concerning the Pope which happen'd in Switzerland to Friar Nicolas Van Felsen and was before written by Charles de Bouillon and he hath made to it a Preface to shew in what manner we ought to make Reflection upon such Signs and Miracles which Christ hath given to the Papacy And do we not also read in the Confession of Ausbourg as in Our Symbolical or Canonical Book the (d) Apolog. Aug. Conf. De Votis Monasticis Prophesie of John of Hilten how that in the Year MDXVI there should come one that should Preach against the Disorder of the Monks which was fulfill'd accordingly in Luther So also the Clergy of Lubeck Hambourg and Lunenburg in their Apology against the Patron of the Revelation of Guthman would not at all declare that they did (e) Part. 1. p. 84 c. 269.297 Simply and Absolutely reject and condemn all Visions and Revelations of these Times Baldwinus confirms the same with these Words (f) Non dubitamus Deum Adhuc nonnullis interdum revelare Futura quae ad Ecclesiae Reipub. statum pertinent in usum hominum annuntianda Comment sup Ep. 1. Tim. 4. p. 251. We do not doubt that God doth yet sometimes reveal to Some Future Things pertaining to Church and State which are to be Declar'd for the Good of Men. There are also other Divines of Authority who assert the same thing whom we omit as being to be found in the aforesaid Fabricius XXXVIII For a Conclusion I shall yet add here one Considerable Testimony which we receiv'd from the Lord by this Blessed Lady this present Year MDCXCI And it is this Dear Friends peace be with you Stir up one another in my Love and give me
an appearance of Godliness as if it were possible the very Elect would be deceived by them For they have Tokens of Perfection making to themselves a Glory of true Humility notwithstanding which there is nothing in them but Deceit and Abomination As I live I will destroy them for they Prophesie by their own Spirit with which the Starry Spirit is intermixed and bring forth many Wise Sayings and say I am he I am he believe me for here is Immanuel Christ is in me he speaks by me But all this is meer deceit they are Lies and Fallen Spirits Yet be not afraid ye Lambs who hear my Voice for ye shall be preserved against the Hour of Temptation for to Babes is the Mystery discovered and that which is Foolish and that which is Simple before the World is that which I have prepared for my self And the Simple tread securely and that which is Nothing I have chosen and unto little Children is given the Heavenly Wisdom to the end they may put to shame that which is lifted up in the Carnal Sense and that which is little may put that which is exalted underneath it Be not then afraid ye Lambs for unto you is given the true Wisdom to the end ye may be certain and able to discern for ye have the pure Ointment and the Spirit of Truth whereby ye may know all the secret Pleasures and become certain Take heed for the False Spirit is now in all States though not so powerfully as he shall be Judge now my Fathers and Brethren beloved in Christ a true Judgment in the Eyes of God I earnestly beseech you for the Universal Love of the Truth and to the Publick Confession of the Holy Wonders of God to send me as soon as may be your Theological Answer May the Lord JESUS to whom this Matter appertains be powerful with his Spirit in your Spirit May he defend you with his Mighty Arm against all the Gainsayers of his Holy Truth and Crown you in the Day of the Resurrection of the Righteous with Everlasting Glory Amen I remain Your c. Most Obliged to Love and Prayer J. W. P. The Postscript IT having pleas'd our Good God and Saviour by several Testimonies of the same kind and Revelations given to Persons in many Places and of all Sorts and Ranks as Rich and Poor Noble and Plebeian Learned and Unlearned Men and Women Young and Old hidden from the World but known to God to confirm what he has Reveal'd by his Spirit in this Blessed Lady I beseech you Country-men and Brethren from the Deep Centre of Love to hearken to this one Sealing Testimony which some few Years since flow'd from the Vnity of the same Spirit to One in This Nation I heard a Voice saying Great silence in Heaven for half an Hour Then there was a great Gathering together of many Saints and Angels before the Throne and they seem'd in great Consultation And He that sate on the Throne appear'd in great Glory with a glorious Crown on his Head Then I heard a Voice saying Arise my Servant that art to go forth with the Everlasting Gospel for I am coming forth with Ten Thousands of my Saints to Judge the Earth Pray and cry aloud that Judgment may not break out in the House of the Lord Say Spare thy People O Lord and deliver thy Heritage and let them not be consumed with the Wicked Mourn O my People betwixt the Porch and the Altar so may ye prevent the Judgment that is coming forth Behold I will put a Key into the Hand of my Servant that is to go forth with the Everlasting Gospel which will unlock the Heavens and bring down a Blessing upon my People Sing O ye Heavens and rejoice O ye Saints that live upon the Earth For I will deliver you from the Adversaries by the mighty Hand of my Power Fast and Pray and your Cries shall be heard and your Tears shall be shut up into my Bottle for a Memorial before me And such as rise up against you shall fall before you And I saw a Rainbow about the Throne and the Voice said This shall be a Covenant betwixt me and my People Then I heard a great Voice saying I will come forth with Power and will scatter such as rise up against the Everlasting Gospel Arise arise my Servant and put on my Strength and come forth For I am coming to do great things upon the Earth Howl ye Wicked for I will pour out my Spirit on my Servants and on my Handmaids and they shall Prophesie and their Prophesies shall come to pass Prepare your Hearts O ye Saints to meet your God and I will fill your Hearts full of Joy and Rejoicing For it is given to you to sing the Song of Praises and Thansgivings Then shall the Daughters of Sion be fill'd with Praises and Songs of Deliverance For behold the King cometh with Triumph and Victory and the Voice of the LORD shall be heard through the Earth Then I beheld Four Cherubims clapping their Hands together and crying Holy Holy Holy Lord God of Sabbaoth Heaven and Earth are full of thy Glory Then I beheld a Glorious Throne in the midst of Mount Sion and Twenty Four Elders round about the Throne and they threw down their Crowns saying Amen Amen so be it FINIS
