in me and so willingly to receive me now I proffer my self to them to be their king and they shal think him now happie that shal come in the name of the Lord and shal crie Hosanna in the highest that is they shal willingly receive instructions from I the Lord of host whom they wait for and whom they do expect daily for to hear of some tha shal say the Lord of host cometh for to redeem them out of all their enemies countries and to bring them into their own Land again which tidings of their returne they shal have from England first and how the God of Iacob wil appear to be their God and so they shal see and know that their redeemer cometh and made himself known to some English men for to bring them word even the Iews that are dispersed about in Holland and Spaine Germany and Italy and how it is the pleasure of I the Lord of host for to put my spirit of courage and valiantness for to make you that are dispersed in these countries as Holland France Spaine Germany Italy gather your selves together and so to meet all of you and these whom I shal send out of England to you for to meet in the year fifty one now a coming on in Italy and I wil be your rock and your strength and wil in cheife be your leader so that you shal not fear what man shal do unto you for I have purposed and it shal surely come to pass that I wil bring you to Ierusalem and not only you but all the rest that are dispersed of you in other countries even for to make you the praise of the whole earth and I wil stir up armies that shal fight for you so that I wil bring you safely into your own countreys and wil make the Gentiles come with their gold and silver to you and you shal be honourable and all your enemies that wil not serve you shal perish for that nation and kingdom that wil not serve thee shal perish yea those nations shal be utterly wasted even the most proudest and stoutest king or governour shal be destroyed even al their armies shal come to nothing for it is my pleasure to bring down the high and mighty one and so to lay him low even wil I not favour any but wil bring them all down to the ground yea I wil bring down that potent enemie that doth so highly exalt himself and he shal come to nothing even the Pose of Rome I mean and before the fifty five years that is now present a coming he shal be destroyed even the Pope of Rome shal lose his life in 1654. and so I the Lord wil make known my power by cutting off great ones and by bringing them to nothing and so wil make them all come bending and bowing to my sons and daughters whom I wil bring to Ierusalem and because it is my pleasure that it should be so I even I the Lord of host wil appear for to confound my enemies and those that have bin enemies to my people the Jews even that proud Turk that rules and domineers now shal be before the year fifty seven consumed destroyed the great head turk shal lose his life in the year 1656 and so there shal never after him nor never any more Pope be but there shal be such alterations and changes that things present and have bin by custome of long standing turned upsides once again that I may make Ierusalem the praise of the whole earth whose gates shal be continually open and shal not be shut day or night that men may bring unto them even unto the new Ierusalem the forces of the Gentiles even such abundance there shal be that shal be brought in for to be your fellows and brethren one and of the same Citty that the places which I formerly gave unto your Fathers for their inheritances shal be enlarged and strangers shal build your Citty even the wals of your Cities even such shal build them up for you that shal not inhabite there and Kings shal minister unto you and shal bring their riches unto you though you shal have no need of any yet it is my pleasure so much to magnifie you that I wil make my self appear to be glorious in you even in the midst of you and wil make people say of a truth that God is in you and so to acknowledge that you are the seed which the Lord hath blessed and so to make them see and know that I the Lord of host am in you even in you all ruling in you and making all your enemies become subject to you But I must tel you that I wil not appear personally for to raign over you and so to give you laws to walk by no but I wil raign in you and I the God of truth wil be in you and I wil teach you how you shal walk by putting my laws in your inward parts and in writing of them in your hearts and so wil speake in you and wil also make you for to worship me in spirit and in truth not in outward formes as now you do for the glory of Lebanon shal come unto thee and the Box tree and the Fir tree shal come together to beautifie the place of my Sanctuary and so to make my feet glorious such is the worke of I the Lord of host that I wil make the very glory of the world be brought to Sion even for to make them glorious and I wil make the place of thy feet glorious ö Sion and all the sons of them the feet that afflicted thee shal come bowing and bending to the soles of thy feet and shal cal thee the Sion the Citty of the Lord the holy one of Israel such a great work wil I do for thee ö Sion that I wil make thee have power over al thy enemies and none shal be able for to oppose thee but all shal be brought to nothing and confounded yea even they shal be in such terror and fear now that they shal submit themselves to thee and cal thee even thee O Sion whom I wil gather to Jerusalem the Citty of the Lord even of I the Lord of host And whereas thou hast bin forsaken so that no man went through thee even thee O Ierusalem that hath been laid wast I wil now of a sudden make thee an eternal excellency a joy of many generations even I wil make thee to be so glorious that thou shalt be the glory and joy of Nations for thou shalt be freed from sorrow and trouble and vexation of spirit and shal live in peace and be at peace rejoicing in I the Lord of host when others shal be troubled and vexed to think that they do not partake of the same glory wherewith I have and wil glorifie thee and thou shalt also suck the milke of the Gentiles even that joy and comfort which formerly they had of me when I did
also make such a work in all the earth that oppression shal cease amongst them even those that are not brought into my love and favour shal live and be quiet one with the other and shal have all things common but for my Saints which have right to the tree of life and so enter in through the gates into the citty shal not be twain but shal be all one both of one heart and one minde for I the Lord of host wil preach to them and they shal hear me preach and shal learn knowof me even so much that they shal see and know that they possess all things and enjoy all things and so have all things at command for this tree of life is my self which if a man eats of he shall live for ever and also this tree of life is in the City which City may be taken two waies either mystical or literal mystically the Saints makes one City literally it is the Jerusalem where my sons and daughters shal be gathered together the gates of this City is my power which all must be indued with before they can enter into it for the tree of life is my self which will be there for ever keeping of them my sons and daughters alwaies in a continual supply so that they shal have no want of anything but the riches of the Gentils shal be brought into this City even into this new Ierusalem whose children shal be all righteous and nothing but righteousness shal dwel there nothing but the pure chosen vessels of my love shal be there even with singing dancing shal they come thither and leaping for joy for the Lord hath founded Sion and the poor of the people shal trust in it O Sion shout shout and sing for joy for all people shall tremble and quake for fear of thee even for fear of thy most excellent King I the mighty Iehovah that dwels in thee and I wil make thee to be famous and thee to be desired far among all people this word shout shewes abundance of joy joy unspeakable in thee shout and be glad nothing but rejoyce and sing let sorrow and sighing and whatsoever hath formerly troubled thee be now turned into joy and gladness I tel thee that thou shalt be made the praise of the whole earth even thou O Sion that hath bin scattered and driven into all nations here and there one but now I have founded Sion even thee O Sion wherein I do delight to dwel and will bring thee into my own place even into a Canaan of rest from all thy hateful enemies so that thou shalt no longer be here and thereon no but I wil bring you all together both Iews and Gentiles and I wil make you to be both one rejoycing in you and wil be married to you and you shal be my spouse and my wife who shal alwaies be feeding on the tree of life and so I wil make you live for ever for all my joy and delight shal be in you and I wil be your tower and rock and wals and salvation for you and in that day you shal say we have a strong City salvation will God appoint for wals and bullwarks even a free universal liberty from all sorts of enemies both within and without and nothing but joy and love all being knit together in love rejoycing in love heaving so strong a City and all manner of precious things being there even such a City and place for delight that there shal be none like it in the world for nothing but joy wil I give you and wil make you for to rejoyce in me your King of glory and you shal be as so many Kings and Princes that shal reigne here on earth every one of you no less then a King that shal have all nations in subjection to you by my mighty power which I wil manifest in you I wil make you to break the nations in peices like potters vessels even into shivers shalt thou dash all thine enemies whether they be Turk or Pope or any other Countries for all shal become as weak as water I in the midst of you wil shew my self to be strong and powerful even so strong that I wil make all nations to be silent and sit stil and let you alone and instead of making wars against you they shall beat their swords and spears and their weapons of war into pruning hooks and the nations shall not learn war any more but I wil make them say come let us go up to Sion and they will teach us their waies O what a bundance of glory wil I give unto thee O Sion that nations far and near shal come up to thee to be taught of thee and indeed they shall have great need for I wil empty all other teachings of men and all shal be barren so that there shal be no perfect rest but to those that come to Sion where I the Lord of host wil be the a lone teacher and wil make them all to know me even from the least to the greatest not only know me and cal me God because of my power being seen in that I have made the heavens and the earth for this knowledge of me all men have yet they are ignorant of what I am which my people that dwel in Sion shal know they shal see me in my glory and know me what and where I be they shal see me every where and know that I am in every thing and that the whole world is but a garment to cover me from the visible sight of men and thus wil I appear in my people gathering them together where I wil manifest my self unto them and raise them from the dead even all Israel from this death of sin and corcuption and wil make them to be partakers of the second resurrection on which the first death shall have no power and so all Israel even the whole house of Israel shal be gathered together in righteousness and in truth and they shal glory and rejoyce in me even in mount Sion yea even the place where my son Jesus was transfigured and changed so that his raiment became white and glistering and the two Apostles seeing of him in this condition said it is good to be here for the glory that was seen there which was but a resemblance of my gathering my people to Sion and so making them to be as one and when I had so gathered them together in the last daies there to make my glory shine in a more lustrious and glorious manner then ever I did when my son Jesus was on the earth for his being transfigured and shining so bright shews forth abundance of light and glory that shal be manifested to you now in these last daies for as soon as he was in garments that were white and glistering it shewes that I wil appear to be a light and a more excellent light to you then yet I have bin for the glory was so great
