behold_v i_o will_v send_v you_o elijah_n the_o prophet_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o shall_v prepare_v etc._n etc._n lest_o i_o smite_v the_o earth_n with_o a_o curse_n now_o by_o the_o way_n of_o caution_n let_v a_o doctrine_n seem_v never_o so_o strange_a understand_v it_o well_o before_o you_o disprove_v it_o nay_o be_v able_a to_o dispute_v the_o author_n before_o you_o condemn_v it_o lest_o like_o the_o jew_n you_o blaspheme_v the_o oracle_n of_o heaven_n and_o say_v my_o doctrine_n be_v blasphemy_n when_o your_o own_o may_v be_v real_o so_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n know_v no_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o he_o they_o be_v foolishness_n to_o a_o natural_a man_n and_o so_o ridicule_v by_o he_o it_o be_v say_v elias_n shall_v first_o come_v and_o restore_v all_o thing_n then_o i_o hope_v a_o curse_n be_v turn_v from_o the_o earth_n suitable_a to_o the_o business_n of_o elias_n in_o mal._n 4._o but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o cast_n of_o man_n into_o everlasting_a fire_n how_o be_v a_o curse_n turn_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n restore_v but_o the_o heaven_n do_v contain_v christ_n until_o the_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n act_n 3._o 20._o

do_v no_o miracle_n though_o testify_v by_o our_o saviour_n to_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o i_o observe_v in_o the_o difference_n between_o a_o natural_a man_n and_o a_o spiritual_a the_o first_o receive_v no_o divine_a vision_n the_o last_o receive_v such_o vision_n and_o ever_o have_v do_v among_o natural_a man_n which_o receive_v neither_o divine_a vision_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n no_o revelation_n none_o of_o they_o be_v so_o know_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o another_o may_v be_v find_v as_o able_a but_o a_o spiritual_a man_n who_o receive_v both_o vision_n and_o revelation_n as_o far_o exceed_v all_o man_n as_o the_o glorious_a sun_n excel_v the_o dark_a night_n as_o to_o vision_n i_o shall_v thus_o far_o say_v for_o the_o discharge_n of_o my_o conscience_n though_o i_o make_v myself_o ridiculous_a by_o it_o to_o some_o unthinking_a people_n after_o many_o year_n unsatisfaction_n one_o morning_n about_o three_o of_o the_o clock_n than_o fly_v in_o the_o sky_n a_o globe_n of_o transparent_a fire_n about_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o moon_n at_o full_a and_o from_o it_o proceed_v the_o form_n of_o a_o sword_n and_o at_o the_o sword_n point_v exceed_o

vision_n i_o receive_v satisfaction_n in_o divinity_n i_o find_v the_o doctrine_n i_o have_v after_o this_o vision_n receive_v comply_v with_o the_o business_n of_o elijah_n in_o mal._n 4._o to_o those_o that_o can_v receive_v it_o for_o it_o prepare_v man_n in_o love_n to_o meet_v christ_n at_o his_o second_o appearance_n and_o that_o do_v much_o startle_v i_o and_o then_o i_o search_v the_o scripture_n whether_o they_o testify_v of_o any_o such_o person_n i_o can_v not_o dare_v to_o say_v i_o be_v this_o person_n and_o sometime_o i_o will_v serious_o consider_v it_o and_o sometime_o i_o will_v blame_v myself_o for_o such_o idle_a thought_n but_o however_o i_o think_v it_o most_o safe_a to_o suspend_v my_o judgement_n and_o i_o thus_o argue_v that_o if_o as_o a_o sign_n i_o can_v see_v a_o dove_n vanish_v out_o of_o my_o sight_n i_o shall_v be_v the_o better_o satisfy_v and_o according_o to_o my_o amazement_n a_o dove_n do_v vanish_v out_o of_o my_o sight_n in_o the_o daytime_n in_o the_o pallisadoe_n at_o jamaica_n this_o make_v i_o a_o little_a more_o uneasy_a and_o that_o i_o be_v this_o man_n in_o mal._n 4._o be_v too_o high_a for_o my_o faith_n therefore_o after_o my_o return_n to_o london_n from_o cambridge_n where_o i_o try_v the_o learned_a i_o again_o th●●_n reason_v with_o myself_o if_o i_o be_o this_o man_n in_o ma●_n 4._o then_o some_o vision_n
