down such Gifts as will all abundantly enrich more than came down in the day of Penticost for they were but the first Fruits and did but continue a little while but here is such a Shower of the Eternal Powers to fall down upon this second Call to the Jerusalem waiters as shall bring forth the Harvest of the Lord's Joy whose Spirit for the ripening of these Fruits doth work most powerful What is to be done by us but only to drink in the falling Dews and dropping Showers and to grow as Lillies that may know neither Heat nor Draught Toil nor Care Hasten oh God! and send thy Angel Reapers for some Fields do begin to 〈◊〉 White whose ripe Fruits may into thy Store-house be brought as the first Offerings for the consvmmating of all those great and mighty things which thou hast taught us in this little Volumn of thy Life 〈◊〉 Here follows a high ravishing Communion with the Trinity enjoy'd but receive it not as an Elivation but from a Spirit â—â—â—â—â—ated as into another light Region the half of which is not to be expressed which was here enjoyed Some Throne of the most Holy is now pitched in the center of the Heart of Jesus as in conjunction with my Heart from whence such issues of Life do flow which renew a perpetual Spring of Joy For the Lord pronounced the fulness of all Blessing from the circle Throne of his Presence bedewing me with the Water of Life from the glassy Sea mingled with the Fire of Love assuring me that the Curse which is annexed to fallen Nature should now flee away from God and the Lamb's Throne which Throne the Lord hath chosen me to be unto him in which the Scepter of his Kingdom should rule over all in the divine Omnipotence Upon which Thunder-cry which passed through my Heavens all Nations Tongues and Languages Spirits and Powers did give up to him who is come to fix his Throne and to create all things new and to confirm his Covenant in the newness of the Spirit and to nullifie all of the dead and fruitless-Life which stands in the Letter-Precept which could never destroy the Root of Sin It is now made known from the Word of Truth that nothing else shall ever fetch out the Serpent's Sting but the overflowing of the burning Oyl from the Sea of Glass which is broken up by the violent stroke of the holy Ghost All Sanctifications and Renewings are imperfect and changeable till this doth come to rise as a covering to make the gross Body transparent So now then we are to observe that when-ever God shall come in very deed to enthrone himself in any there will be felt this burning Sea from which the firey Lamps do proceed which guard the Throne Oh! it is the great and high attainment that a Spirit vail'd with Corporeity can look for to have God come down in his Throne-dominion and to cast down all other Thrones in which the dark firey Spirits have acted their part in the inward Tent of the Mind all which now to be destroyed and consumed by the pure flaming Throne will sufficiently witness that God's Kingdom is now got beyond Words is sprung up in a feeling Power Oh! the Joys Pleasure which my Soul doth feel in its first rising which is infinitely more precious than hath been related though by Christ's own Personality whose appearance did so variously describe the Glory of his Kingdom to me but now to come and bring it into me will in due season produce other things than what hath been believed or expected by the Staggering Fearful who have cryed The Lord doth yet delay his coming so upbraiding and beating his fellow Servant crying for Signs and Wonders without which they can own nothing But let all such slighting Spirits know that the Throne and Kingdom of the Lamb may for some considerable time be forming fashioning furnishing and enriching with Glory and all this carried on very secretly till the whole Mystery of the Kingdom be first inwardly compleated before it come to make a visible Show by a terrible acting of Wonders And know that such as are come to feel the Kingdom in its invisible Powers and the seven Lamps of Fire burning and are set down with Christ upon the Throne reigning over and judging down all Nations in themselves shall have Judgment and Power given them over all that have villified and set light by them in the day of their outward Rule and Authority whilst the suffering Lambs of God were in their Minority But careful we will not be concerning Judgment given or Dominion exercised as yet out of the Throne of the Lamb in our selves but must follow on till it be fully perfected and the Kingdom established It is the present Business of our Day to watch to have every Lamp fed from the glassy Sea that so springing in the Light Love-Flames a Chrystaline Throne may be maintained for the whole Deity For verily whilst such a thing as this is felt and witnessed there is a most ravishing Tranquility Oh! what is greater than to have Christ seated upon his Throne within us All things then must needs be in a peaceable and holy Order and blessed Subjection Happy are they whose inward Eyes are opened all this to see possess and enjoy even when retired out from all Creaturely Society and so translated into and among the Seraphick Spirits in heavenly Places Since my apartment to be alone a full Concourse doth now continually meet me even such Company as makes me spend my hours and dayes with all spiritual Mirth and Joy For I am now come in truth without Flattening or crackling Sparks that go out again unto the everlasting burning Throne of the Deity where just and perfect Spirits do use as so many lesser Flames most numerously as God's encompassing Host ministring all that may delight me So that I find I am to be reserved for God's Throne-Conversation which is as the seven dayes Feast of Tabernacles wherein nothing of servile work is to be thought upon This is a time of an holy Convocation and for celebrating the Praises of the Lamb who alone hath wrought the Victory for us Oh! what shall let now but that all within me may give the Trumpes-sound and great shout that the Lord Omnipotent is come to Reign Rejoyce ye Heavens without within and round about for the Lord Jehovah hath only done it He hath made Wars to cease and keeps the Enemy without the Gates Oh mighty Prince and Saviour thou art entred into thy Throne-rest Thou art become Lord of the Sabbath indeed and therefore thou hast Power to Eternalize it as a Memorial of thy redeeming Blood which is become the quickning and reigning Life Maintain my Love evermore in this new governing Sphere with thee for never knew I such a pleasant state as since the time thou hast brought thy Kingdom into me to rule over all in Peace and Love and keep every Spirit
order to the revealing and making out this high and peculiar Priest-hood it is expedient I should declare in what a living figure it appeared to me or rather to somewhat which was raised up to be as a clear burning Lamp of Love which was capable of this great and marvelous sight which did open from the very God-head Beeing in whose Body of Light and Glory this Priesthood in the Heavens was clearly manifested to my Eye sight which is the ground work I shall go upon according to the express which the great Melohizedeck Priest hath set open and made teachable hereby for the benefit and service of that Holy and Royal Tribe that shall hereunto be numbred For in the present Age wherein the most precious have their Call to come out from what is vile temporary and Soul cankering against the Love minding of Earthly things and as to the more refined religious dress where the Viper of sinful Hypocrisie which hath had a fair covering spread over it in every changeable Ministration which refers to an outside Holiness till from this there be a departing and entering into Love's substantiality there can be no bearing part in this peculiar and Royal Priesthood But let us go on to describe it according to the Mount Zion Pattern which we have seen and the Words which were heard from thence The Vision of the Heavenly Tabernacle I was carried in Spirit where I saw a light flaming Glory unfolding and opening it self larger and more conspicuous and in the midst of it an Abysical Deep from whence there was a working flowing Sourse in a restless Motion flashing up transparent Matter so sparklingly glorious for Colours as if all manner of precious Stones had been comixed in the Matter then did appear numerous Persons gathered to the Glory of this flowing Sourse from the Virtue and Power that rose out of the Deep which was as the Resurrection of pure heavenly Bodies bright and clear that stood there to receive and drink in from this Abysical Deep then was it asked by that translated Spirit that saw all this What was to be understood by all this and it was answered It is the flowing of the Deity that is ever generating forth for begetting and renewing what is like to its own Beeing and the sparkling Matter that so continually flashed out was to consecrate the heavenly Order of Kingly Priests which would be the very Tabernacle-Glory upon them for this Priestly Kingdom under the highest degree of anoiming are for to be And who-ever can pure and abstractedly come up and lie near the flowing of this Abysical Deep are under the Ordination for Kingly Priests and so near to God as nothing shall them be denyed for which they shall interceed for great Power they will have within their own command for they are Spirited very high by daily drinking in this deified Matter In this Vision there was no formal Temple Tabernacle or Alter to be seen but God in his Virtual Power Light and Purity filled the numerous company that made up the Priestly Body which was termed the God-head Fraternity No particular Christ here I did see but as he was said to be the Head and the Power that made them shine as so many burning Lamps before the Throne of the Fathers all-piercing Eye of Glory There were degrees amongst this Holy Preistly fellowship some in a higher others in a lower order But the Testimony of Truth Love and Purity did open through all as one entire Ark of the Heavenly Body compacted together sounding forth New and wonderful Laud and Praises different from all others who in the Heavenly places did worship the Lord God Almighty This was a lively express and manifestation of the Everlasting and unchangeable Priesthood which the Holy Ghost will build up and appear all in it and therefore is come before hand to open the Scene of it and to give Rules to direct in the Way which leads thereunto according to this substantial ground which opens from the Central Eternity from whence all perfect things must spring out again in this faded and corrupted Region For which a most Holy and Royal Priesthood is ordained that is to be the Salt of the Earth to send forth their seasoning for Life where Putrifaction unto Death hath reigned Now we shall proceed and give forth what hath run in as a Fountain sending forth its Springs It is then assured to us by an irreversible Covenant that a Kingly Priesthood shall in this latter day stand upon the Earth An Election and Call from the Holy Ghost is going out for to effect the same who only knows where the true born Nazarites are and where the sanctified in the Water of Life do lie who will be brought out as baptized Ones into this Holy Priestly order so that it may be evident to all to know who they are and to acknowledge their Priestly Royalty each one in their various order and degree for power and eminency for which there are several Rules Characters and holy Missions that will make out where all these pure clear lively Stones are connexed together for a ruling and governing Priesthood in this visible Earth These are of the Election hereunto that may yet be hid amongst the Stuff of Babylon's confusion A David may be keeping of Sheep an Elisha Plowing with a yoke of Oxen till a special ordination come forth for anointing to a more high worthy and honourable Employ in which the business will be only to have to do with God and therefore is set apart and sanctified only for that use ceasing from all througing Cares and seculiar Services and a withdrawing from all defiling things of this kind Whoever feels the touch of the Life-coal that sets the only matter of the Souls eternal Essence a burning they will soon find what separation is made and can henceforth no more favour the low vulgar gross and Earthly concerns from all which this Priestly Function doth set free as called and anointed by the most Holy that is head of this separated Congregation therefore it is but meet that the Body should answer hereunto that as our great High-Priest is passed into the Heavens being found perfect separate from sin and Sinners so likewise all appertaining to this heavenly order will be known in their pure consecration For the Spring of the Spirit will rise from within to cleanse every instrument that must be used about the Tabernacle service because God will have nothing to come near Him but what hath Holiness engraved upon it which doth imply a coming out of what is common and defiling that nothing of this corrupting Nature may be found amongst the Priestly Tribe For these are designed and appointed to deal with God in all weighty Spiritual matters belonging to the Restoration and that may erect the New Jerusalem state in this very World Therefore there is to be an extraordinary Call of the holy Ghost for the impowering and fitting out hereunto for else it
will be impossible to carry this Evangelical Ministration in such an evil Region where the Cry and Plea of mortal necessities are continually heard as making it a lawful imposition upon the very illuminated Saints to puddle about Earthly things by which indeed the wayunto the most Holy hath been blocked up no open Face of God could through this muddy glass be seen as being the dark side of the Cloud which keeps from God by many removes and distances Therefore a healing Balsom for a continual bleeding wound the great and merciful High Priest hath sent down even the victorious reconciling Crown of the Priestly anointing which is in very truth his Essential Diety which riseth as a Fountain of purity overspreading the whole Humanity and consecrates it for both Tabernacle Ark and Altar in which the Holy Ghost officiates and accomplisheth the whole Divine service Now whatever Soul and Spirit shall be thus taken up and arrested upon Gods account to serve and minister about the Heavenly and most excellent things which belong to the Everlasting Priesthood for it is not to be thought that the most holy will allow or permit such to prophane what he hath Sanctified or the Living to be entombed with the Dead or the high sented Oyl which springs from the Holy Ghost to let in the noysom putrifactions from the loathed Kedar where all unclean Spirits do dwell Here is an absolute command to have no touch nor intermedling withal so as to ensnare or come into hazard of breaking the consecrated Vows For it is a true saying of that great Saint That we in this consideration do cease to be our own we cannot according to the Law of the Spirit dispose of our selves no not for an hour or day from our Lord and Master's Employ and Business further than as good and faithful Stewards we can give a satisfying account according to those Spiritual Circumstances we are bound in unto him The great and mighty King loveth to see all his Priestly train and attendants still about him in such an Holy order and Heavenly posture as they may be ready to be sent forth upon the most eminent services who can find employment enough for his Subjects and Ministering Spirits who takes it as a great dishonour to have this holy order bring their high profession to be brought into contempt by running into the cloud and thickest of vain rudimental things Nay more than this the restitution extends to the ordained and called ones upon whom the anointing hath been poured forth for the most Holy incense Offering they cannot be at liberty to fall in with those lawful and necessary concerns which pertain to the feeding and cloathing of the Body but if here at any time engaged the Spiritual part suffers hurt because it acts out of its own Sphear and divine property which should stand in Faiths essentiality where all our motions should be accompanied with the Principle of Faith in the Priestly Ministration for the supplying what is needful to the true Temple worshippers whereunto keeping and walking with God in a perfect way fulfilling all his Sanctuary institutions such are as Lillies to Spring and grow without toil or care The blessings of the Deep shall ever more abound and flow in while there is an abiding in the Faith hereof giving God full credit and running all fully upon his acconnt in this case The Truth is the Lord stands engaged to provide all sufficiency for his Servants whom he hath called from all other low inferior Services and Employes being himself in Covenant with the Priesthood of his own ordination Holy Paul makes use of it from the unchangeable Law that runs from Shadows and figurative Services till it comes to the Life and Substance Do you not know saith he that they which minister about Holy things live of the things of the Temple and they which wait at the Altar are partakers with it They have a right hereunto according to a Law of divine Institution But the Proprietors of these worldly Goods do uot hold themselves obliged hereunto but do engross and take up all and if they let go any thing it is rather by constraint than a free and voluntary Offering But we are not to search too deep into this matter for Faultiness may be found among our own Tribe that lie within the circle of the Priestly Covenant in whom much Remisness and Shortness hath been found as to the ministring to the Necessities of the true dedicated Nazarites But we hope to see another Power and Spirit that shall bear rule which shall make the fast clasped Proprietors to become all free and open-handed according to the fore-going Prophecy that the Churl shall be made liberal yea so as to reckon nothing to be his own But here it may well be asked What is it that must come to loosen from this Self-bottom so as to unhinge this strong Gate that hath kept out from the Land of eternal Store and Blessing whereof Abraham's Seed in the Faith are Heirs This doth in part answer the Question which may produce the great change in narrow Spirit 's which is the Gift of the Faith of the operation of God which openeth from the Springs of Love which are spread abroad by the holy Ghost and kept as a live Coal that can multiply it self into a strong and vehement flame of Love which is the cherishing Root that makes Faith to become all fruitful beyond all exteriour sense and sight resting and considing in the creating Fiat which can call those things that are not to be and make a something of nothing This we may call the Riches of Faith that can make an increase where no visible Matter appeareth This is no common Faith it is no where found but where the holy Ghost hath planted himself for a Blessing and growing Revenue Who ever shall receive of this Gift and taste the Power of it will soon cease to grasp and love earthly and perishing things they will be constrained to offer and consecrate all that may be for the service and use of the holy royal Melcbizedeck Priesthood And though at this time little of this Spirit and Power doth appear in the World yet know of a truth from the Witness of Jesus that the long tircling Motion of the holy Anointing which hath hitherto but scattered his Sparks of Light is now in very deed upon the out-breaking Day of Life that what hath been only in sweet Love-Movings and transcient passing Powers that have in the very Altar-waiters ceased But we shall say now again Behold come and see the burning ghostly Body is risen that will turn all uncertain Motion into a fixed act of all flowing generating Powers But this the Lord hath shewed me This will be first appropriated to the high Priestly Order that can pass beyond the Vail to whom the Holy of Holiest stands open For there are different Degrees States and Oders in this last and new erected Priesthood in which
The first Objection that meets me asking How and after what manner are these great and deep Mysteries revealed and made known for we are in doubt whether any since the Apostles days can have so pure and clear a Discovery of the Mind of God by way of Vision or Revelation As to this I Answer The thing is weighty and may be allowed of to search and follow this Query close and home for too many there be that are Pretenders to the Gift of Prophecy and Revelation whereby they put a cheat upon themselves and others and bring themselves under that Wo of taking up the Lords Spirit for their covering which is the greatest of all Evils to be under a spiritual Fraud Therefore I say let every one search try and examine from what ground and spirit they come forth as the Oracles of God to give his Mind out for assuredly they will be called to a severe Account by the Spirit of Truth Now as to this I will assure thee O Querior whoever thou art it was my great fear and jealousie even upon my first entrance into this Ministration and was made well aware of the wiles and subtilties of Satan that was ready enough to mingle his Deceits with Truth but divine Wisdom was my Counsellor and Cautioner and her Spirit became the Conduct to Truth and Separater she still throwing out what would not bear the touch of the burning Stone which Wisdom had placed in the Center of my Heart by which a wonderful Light of Manifestation did spring for the knowledge of the Truth in the deep Essentiality of it the Way Method Measure and Rules of it as experienced by me I shall demonstrate for the service and benefit of such as are true Seekers and fervent Lovers of Truth how they may come to know the true Revelation of the Spirit of Christ from those mixed Spirits that are apt to inject their Motions and so mudy the pure Springs of Revelation for know it is a nice and difficult matter to know the Spirit 's speech and voice in his day since Christ the Lords ascending than what it was before when as the Word of the Lord came expresly to the Patriarchs and Prophets articularly by immediate Voice God was very familiar in way of Speech as with Araham Moses and so to the Prophets till Christ's time but now in these last days he speaks to us by the Spirit of his Son which is the Spirit of Truth and Comforter that is the Spirit we are to try and to be proved by whether or no he is come into us as a Spirit of Prophecy and Revelation which you shall know first by way of Preparation of the inward Mind for the speaking Word or Oracle of God must have a most holy separated place distinct and apart from the outward Man for there is to be prepared an inward Temple body else no expectation of the holy Ghost without a suitable Body be prepared for him as the living Ark in which the Oracle of Truth may open and shew the Records of the Heavens But it may be further queried How can this Temple Body be raised up and kept so spiritually as to be distinct and separated from the mortal body with its senses and earthly Motions I Answer Herein indeed lieth the great Mystery of all Mysteries how to keep the spirit of the outward birth with all his infecting Multiplicities from rushing into the inward Court where the Soul and God are to be in private Counsel together for if there be a breaking in of the troubled Sea of thoughts this is that which adulterates the pure revealed things and brings a false covering upon them therefore I shall give these following Rules as they were given me by the holy Anointing when I first sought this Priviledge of divine Inspiration I was counselled as to the outward state of things To avoid as much as I could the choaking intangling Cares of this Life and also to sequester my self from all wordly Conversation and give up Spirit Soul and Body in pure dedication the which I can say in my measure I have been obedient to and have found good things as to the spiritual part have accrued thereby which I shall never have cause to repent of let my losses be what they can be as to the worldly lot of things Now the next Rule which is more interior and Evangelical as to the inward and holy place of the Mind For this take more special care and keep the outward Birth at distance from the superior and inward birth call in your heavenly guard upon it enter into no Parley with the outward Man of Reason concerning spiritual matters for you will find him a false Prophet and no way consonant to this Ministration the Soul is waiting upon therefore to watch and be in a defensive Posture against all invasions of this kind Then again take a further Caution concerning a more finer subtiltier sort of imaginariness which comes in the appearance of spirituality here lieth the greatest danger for mistake when seeming good Motions do rise and spring and yet but from the Astaral Kingdom but they are sometimes so divine as you can hardly discern them from the true teaching of the holy anointing there are Spirits that will put on such a Priestly dress like those that rose up against Moses the Lords infallible Prophet saying Are not we spiritual and therefore may be admitted into the secret of God with you and there give our Verdict as front the Oracle of God Thus we are in danger to be encompassed with Spirits so finely clothed as they would think much to be refused but where the Urim and Thummim of sound judgment in such is come that can only discern and taste Spirits of all sorts of Qualities Natures and Degrees for I well know a Mind may be replenished with knowledge and understanding of divine Mysteries from the outward Tongues receiv'd and taken in and yet have been kept strangers to the flowing Springs of Wisdom and Revelation within from whence the certainty of the true Prophet is to be known therefore let every one look to it what they speak teach or write for it will pass through the inward ground for trial where the fiery Region will prove it But now I shall come to describe the true and more certain way of divine Openings and Revelations know then where holy Consecrations and special Separations as the foregoing Preparation to this high Ministration those are as such may come to feel in themselves one essential Birth of Life to spring which is not to be catched in by verbal Comprehension Knowledge or Understanding No such thing But the Spirit of Truth and Revelation openeth himself in the fiery Essence of the Soul in a sweet silent stillness where out all thoughts are excluded then doth the light Ray of the Deity rise and overshadow and fill the Temple of the Mind with light and glory then will the soul sink away deeper
unto me that none could or ever should come to the opening of the seventh Seal till all this were fully finished and I must give Witness that it is a doing and it doth not seem grievous because of what is to succeed and follow when the next Seal shall be opened Thus I have been driven on according to Experience and Revelation to open the mystical meaning of what is written in the Revelation according as it is to be fulfilled in Holy and Heavenborn-Saints though I also well know that their opening will cause a terrible Day of Wo to the Rebellious and Unregenerate for they who shall then be found in the Beasts Kingdom must look to fall and go into Perdition with him for as there are inward Vials to be poured forth so there are outward Vials to be poured forth on the World which I could enlarge upon but that it is not my Commission being otherwise instigated Besides the Lord shewed me that to every Seal there is an Eye opens within which is therefore called upon to look inward where the great Mystery is to be opened and as every Seal hath it's Eye so the Ear hath its sounding Horn which is filled with Holy Oyl which makes Kings and Priests in Gods Tabernacle These are the Trumpets that give the most certain sound for Time to end and the everlasting Kingdom of the Alpha and Omega to begin in that Soul where the sixth Trumpet shall sound upon which so ows the loosing of those Angels that have been bound who are to fight the Lamb's Battel and to revenge his Quarrel For the great and last War will be upon this sixth Seal opening and the Lord did testifie it would be such as in no fore-going Seal had been known But he said withal I am the Lord strong and mighty who will prevail and wholly overturn the Kingdom of the Dragron and Beast Continue thou whilst I am doing this in the most holy secret of my Beeing where the constant Mediatorship and Offerings may go on as the strength of an Army that shall all overcome through the burning Incense that is mingled by the Angel whose place is to stand alwayes at the Altar no hurt or suffering by all this Constagration shall touch the Jewel that lies hid in my Deity that would shine forth again in the Body of its Native Virginity as before time was wherefore suffer thou all this Vulence on thy Elementary part as knowing that it will not at all disturb the inward Temple-Worship and Communion of the pure Spirit But now as of old time in the first elect Church and People God was ministred to and worshipped in a dark formal mixed manner going up and down in a moveable Tabernacle till Solomon's day where the Typical Temple which was to be filled with the Glory was built even so since the time of the Son of Man's offering up himself the holy One hath walked in Clouds and hath been worshipped after an imperfect rate and therefore he hath prepared a burning flaming Day for all his Vessels to pass through to know whether they be Sanctuary proof or no For the Lord is carrying on a pure Jerusalem-Worship in truth and substantiality Rejoyce all ye who shall stand the tryal of this sixth Seal in order to it Now according to this divine Interpretation of the six Seal we may know how near the end of time and the passing away of the old Heavens and Earth in our selves are for that it is we are to look to at every Seals opening For from the first to the last there is a sounding Trumpet to bring Ruin and Desolation to the first six dayes Creation because of sin and the Curse which came in by the Serpent's sting by which means the Beast hath created his Kingdom and corrupted the whole Principle of time which the holy One hath suffered now so many thousand Years during which all Just Men dyed indeed in the Faith of this Prophecy but attained not to that degree which is to usher in the heavenly new Jerusalem in her Glory But the Lord is now stirring and in good earnest is sounding his Trumpets for Battel and there is that in us which doth witness he is going on gradually to unmake and dissolve all of the first Creation for the Lamb will not much longer carry the weight and burthen of a sinful Creation he hath in some already sounded to Judgment and will set himself free thereby and the Spirits and Souls of those who are resolved to follow him through every Seal till they shall overcome It was given me to observe that there are six Engagements to which six Overcomings do answer mentioned in the Revelation and to every Conquest a most high and wonderful Reward promised all which is to encourage to follow him cheerfully who is our Leader who hath sworn that time shall be no longer than till he hath gotten the Victory over the Beast and Whore and hath destroyed the Dragon's Kingdom in every Property within us who are elected to reign in his Life with him on his Throne with a rain of new created Powers in the Properties of the redeemed Earth in the Souls Essence and then we shall know how unconfined the Lordly Dominion over all outward things is even over all the Beasts of this visible Earth who must be subjected to the Lamb who hath taken his Victorious Crown and put it on the Heads of the holy Warriors that have passed through all and are come to the last Overcoming that gives entrance into the seventh Seal As I was collecting in my Mind the near approaching time for the manifestation of this great Overturning which is to bring in the overflowing stream of Christ's Kingdom into the Overcomers Behold I did see and hear the Voice of him from whom the first Heavens and Earth die flee away who uttered these Words As there hath been a long and tedious War between the House of God and the Serpent's Brood together with the Harlot and Beast who have maintained their envious War on the Ground of fallen Nature but now come and see the Place where they shall lie bound in perpetual Captivity And immediately I was all filled with Light from the opened Centre of the peaceable Kingdom that flows in as a virtual Life felt in the Quality of the pure glassy Sea with Sounds Powers and Lightnings as if all of the old Earth were now drowned in this bright Ocean and rollowed a bright Star with a Voice going forth which said The Lamb rising out of this new Elementary Sea overcomes the Serpent and Beast with all their Seed and this will be their Deluge to an everlasting Victory So from hence it was demonstrated that the Beast hath his Sea wherein the great Leviathan sporteth himself and casts out Floods to Persecute and make War against the Virgin-Seed whose Element is mild and sweet Temperature of the glassy Sea The other out of which it is said that the
But here it may be asked What manner and kind of Offerings will those first Fruits of Redemption be This is a Question which cannot be so fully answered till we are compleatly perfected in this Tabernacle which hitherto is only a rearing But what of these Immunities hath been expressed by the great Priest and opened from the Tabernacle-Testimony unto me shall be given forth for their sakes who may have right to bring in such perfect Offerings to the most holy and separated place in the day of their Restoration mutually with us who are expecting the accomplishment in all its divine Ordinances and Consecrations for the perfecting every Comer hereunto But now to define what kind of Offerings we shall bring as Priests to God they are the Fruits of the Magia in their out-flowing Operation which actually send out a most powerful Spirit from its own essential Spring of Spirit wherein God is the only pure Original of it What is sent forth to effect but a new Generation of Heavens and Earth The Magia worketh in this manner saying Let the old Tabernacle with all its shadowy Appearances pass away and be no more And it is so for the force of the out-going Spirit incorporates with the Word and makes it Essential whether it be expressed Vocally or no the Co-centred Decree passeth into and though the Spirit carrieth all Power with it either to nullifie or make void or to give a new Plantation and an heavenly splendorious Formation upon Creatures and Things for a lustrious Transformation of what is fading and dying that so Immortality may be renewed whether in Rationals Animals or Vegetables The matter of the one Element is so immerced and coagulated in a Magical Spirit that it is able to give a Life where the very Face of Death doth appear whether dead as to a Spiritual Life according to that saying And you hath he quickned who were dead in Trespasses and Sens. Who is this in the Person of Christ but the same holy Ghost in his out-going Power that through our Persons so influencing and given a Resurrection to a dead Life whether in our selves or others as cause requires Then also as to the very mortal Life to prolong it and to secure it from Pain and Sickness Yea from Death it self But this quickinmg Spirit is only appropriated to such as have dyed and suffered with Christ in the Flesh and thereby have overcome the World Therefore let none think that they can come to this degree of Power Might and Dignity till they are Born again from the Dead that is a cessation to the enkindled Life from the Stars which generate earthly Motions and Thoughts which work in a way of Sensuality from which there must be a departing in reference to those great Things which are to succeed I have been often brought to see the limit of the first Born Life that doth consist between Time and Eternity in the stirring Essences of Sin whereby I am made so wisely knowing as not grieve or to have any Reluctancy upon the sentence of a total Expiration of such an injurious Life as keeps me out of God's Tabernacle-Body where I can no more dye Whereupon the holy Ghost out of the Virgin-Body doth cry and call to such who would come to be all Magical to offer up their first-Born rational Life for a Sacrifice And then of a truth we shall bring other kind of Fruits and Offerings and no more as Tributaries and Servants to Sin Beast or Dragon but be freed through the rising Birth that will mount and fly over all those who kept the other under great Fear and Bondage but in this we shall come to be Kings in God's House and of his own Family Oh! what hath been here let down by Golden Drops from the Head-Fountain Let it O God mingle all forcibly for Life contaction with the more noble part within us that so this great and perfect Tabernacle may be according to its own secret way compacted indissolvably where we may securely dwell and nothing of Violence Oppression or Fear but receive Power from the rising Body of the holy Ghost to bear down and expel whatsoever is against us This is what the Lord hath by a signal Word averred and he will see it fulfilled as in any one such a Spirit of Resolution shall be found to go forward in this great Enterprize to encounter and rush through every Throng that would stop and put them by who are ready to venter their All for it Now somewhat may be said as to those high Ends for which God is resolved to raise his principal Magia First to redress comfort and relieve the groaning Creation which is in spiritual travail even such who are in Famin and Death in Agonies Sorrow and Heaviness through divers Temptations and the Buffetings and Wiles of Satan To these the Magical Balsom shall be given for Cure from such as are first risen in the Tabernacle-Body of God They shall bind all evil Spirits and there shall go forth a virtual Power from them to do as if Christ were in person there And in the second place this Power shall extend it self to the taking away of all outward Maladies of the Body and all Sufferings relating to Penury and Want and all Weariness Toil and anxious Care for the Needs and Requirings of the Body A further addition to the former subject Know then that as in a miraculous way this will be made as healing Waters from out of the Threshold of the Sanctuary that shall recover the dry and parched Earth to make it bud and flourish as it did before the Curse did overflow it Take it inward as to spiritual Fruitfulness or otherwise as to the outward Elementary state Great also will be the Trust that will be granted by the mighty Jehovah for mannagement for his little Flock sake and put into the Hands of some that are to be set apart as good and principal Shepherds indeed who can both let out and lay down their Life for the elect Sheep which are to be gathered in not by Sounds or Words but by a Magical Impregnation which can send in a Breath of Life to quicken what is as dead This is now what we are in a daily expectation of from the rich Furniture which will come down with the Tabernacle-Body Oh come holy Souls and let us be in a watchful posture for I do see in Spirit that the Morning of this Day begins apace to clear the bright Clouds do open the face of our Heavens appear the separating Vail is all rending away that out of the first Tabernacle we may pass and within the most holy place fixedly stay where we shall have no cause to fear that God will henceforth move away because we our selves shall be brought up to that height of Purity that all Offerings shall be most pleasant and powerful from the everlasting Flame of the holy Altar from whence ascending Powers will go up to bring
no defiled thing can ever enter it Its consistency is an invisible Body as thin as Air as piercing as a Flame an all-moving acting and vigorous Spirit of Power and Life that can go in and out as an invisible Breath which no mortal Eye can see only its force may be felt as a Seraphick Heat that burns as a Refiners Fire in our Corporality to the end that it may tinge it with the holy Ghost's property This is the true and faithful delienation of this perfect thing called by the Apostle Charity Where-ever this comes it makes all imperfect things flee before it but it strengthens and confirms every Plant that is sown by the Spirit and makes them appear above Ground which have long lain buried under it It is the King-flower of the whole Paradisical Spring that protects the whole transmuting all into one entire Body of Love that doth extend and give forth it self in all spiritual Bountifulness according to its high Nature and Property It is not shut up to it self upon any consideration as to what it poslesseth and enjoys for it holds nothing in Propriety whatever its Lot is but all is free to the Disciples of the same descent and birth with himself this Love cannot with-hold from any of their Necessities for it seeks not its own Then it hath also a virtual Power as made to inherit the best of Riches and Substance of the everlasting Kingdom to conveigh and freely distribute of this inexhaustable Treasury to impoverished Souls and to relieve them that are in great Distress which Power can pass in as an high virtual Balsom to heal the Wounded who are under the striking of the Scorpion-Sting of the Serpent For this Love is a ministring Flame where holy Passiveness and Humility are as the open-Door for its access and there cherish and feed it with what its present degree doth require Charity is furnished with all sorts and stores it is God's Steward upon Earth whom he dare trust with the Care of his Houshold who are in spiritual Hunger and Nakedness It is a most infallible truth that God will appoint such holy Overseers in his new-born Church that shall recover the Apostolical Spirit and Power that hath been lost out of the Earth and it shall rise as a more bright Morning Star and multiply it into a Generation that will be all lovely in which God may see himself For which end the Kingdom and Dominion is already come into some and prospering to this expected degree treasuring up now for a full Bank in store against that Day in which our Son of Man will again appear in the Heavens for the delivering up the Kingdom to the Father that so God who is Love may be all in all But in order to the accomplishing of this last and finishing Mystery there shall arise a Melchizedeck Priesthood which shall know the way into the Holiest of all concerning which we shall come to declare after this subject is finished for it springs out of Love's-Root in us For this is the most clear and undeniable witness of Truth when Light and Revelation and Life of Enjoyment meet together then Declaration carries Power and Authority with it But to return to the present thing what can be said sufficiently of it that so if possible the reign of Love might come to spread it self as a Net to gather in for the Priestly Kingdom Some other Motions may be further urged as these Would you be always in a serene quiet and peaceable Frame and Constitution of Mind so as no vicissitude working-Cross or Turbulency towards you whether from Gentiles Barbarians or Israelites all which may give nothing of Disturbance where Charity is predominant and why so This is very marvelous never to be perplexed and never to be put out of Harmony Objection But how can this agree When as our most perfect Pattern was said to be troubled and his Soul was sorrowful unto Death as also that Afflictions are not joyous for the present First We will Answer this main Objection as to Christ our Lord in his Agonies You must know that all this was on this side his Resurrection observe that and it was to shew that he had the sensible Passions of our Humanity and that he was on our behalf to feel a sinless Grief and Sorrow and to be really touched with these kind of Infirmities or else how could he make Provision through and by Love's Conquest If he had not been in Temptation and in Encounter with all Despite and Defamations but yet he maintained his own Peace which was the Fruit of Love through all and was reconciled to all the cross Dispensations that met him in the World For it was this perfect Love that carried him through to bear and suffer all things and was for our Example and Encouragement to express during the time of his humane Minority those sensible Dolours and Passions but he comes of a victorious Champion and tells us That he had overcome and assureth us That in him we shall have a most fixed and firm Peace though in the World exercised with Tribulation So from hence it is to be admitted and allowed that in the time of our Minority before Love is in its perfect degree risen it cannot be otherwise expected but we may be liable to Grief Sorrow Commotion Fears and Jealousies and so up and down in an uncertain Motion tossed to and fro in our Minds and all this because Love is but little weak and low of Stature it is not got up into the Throne of Dominion so as to govern all by the Law of Love yet such are not to be hopeless or of doubtful Mind as desponding ever to see the Resurrection of Love so as to possess its peaceable Immunities Know whoever you be that are made willing to venture the loss of all for to arrive at this Pearl of Charity that you shall most surely find it and great rejoycing there will be at the finding of this lost Groat Indeed the House of the Soul must be first throughly searched and the natural Self-love must be swept out For what is that which we must lose but even all Rubbish Filth and Dross that so our Hearts being emptied and cleansed from all these the King of Love may enter in with his full Train wherein we may know nothing but Concord Tranquility and a springing Treasury of all Goodness Wherefore let all holy and pure Minds be stirred up to wait for the dropping Dews which fall from the one eternal Element to bring this Plant of Loves Kingdom forward even unto its full height of Perfection and be tender of its first Buddings for it hath many subtil Enemies both at home and abroad It is the Heir and therefore is conspired against for can but the envious Spirits find out where its Birth doth spring they will attempt to kill it whilst it is but an Infant for which cause it must be hid in the Clefts of the
the true working bubling Spring that maintains a divine clearness with wonder in which God the holy Ghost will make himself manifest in a more full and perfect manner than what ever in former Ages hath been witnessed Where-ever this powerful and piercing anointing shall first work through it will do no less than produce those creating Powers that shall another World renew God yet once more is to move himself in this Mystery from which such a Conflagration is expected that nothing more of the old Earth or Heavens shall remain For there is a Day that must burn as an Oven blessed are those in whom it shall have its enkindling wherein all dead fruitless Works shall be burnt up which makes room for the seven governing Powers of the holy Ghost to go forth whether in the Arch-Angel Trumpet-Sounds or Lightning-Voices Earthquakes Bindings Loosings Shuttings Openings working on this and on that hand as unperceiveable yet all things effecting through the impregnable motion of this invisible Operator Of this sort will be the New heavenly Hosts that created are again by the holy Ghost all lively sparkling Stones that are in their invisible Nature as fiery Flames that can go hither and thither to act according to the will of the great Elohim This is now the thing that we are day by day looking out for its all-powerful springing all other flourishings in the very Courts of Holiness in the use and exercise of divine Ordinances and solemn Convocations they are not to be staid in though they seem to be as the goodly Tents of Jacob. God the holy Ghost comes to move higher from his own essential creating Word by which he makes New Heavens that shall forever remain and no more subject be to vanishing It will be the last and greatest proving to the Saints themselves to have their Heavens not only shaking but melted all away which may be compared to an out spreading Garden of various Flowers which look pleasant and delightful but they are what must fade and dye these Garnithings are not to be trusted to for as Grass they will wither Something else that is stable and durable Iam taught and made to look for which is nothing less than the Creating Word of the holy Ghost that may be as a New Coyn'd Mint that will an ever alting Treasure renew which the Sun and Moon of these visible Heavens must bow unto All the Glory of Flesh rejected is when pure Breath and Spirit in a Body of Air shall as out of the Valley of dry Bones appear and move as a Coelestial Wheel both upward and downward carrying and bearing up as an anointed Cherub that may mount and ascend and face the supream Glory of the Lord Almighty This is the high Adoption that the Spirit in the living Creatures do move from the earthly Center up straight forward being circled about with the unfadeable Body of the immutable Heavens to whom the Heaven of Heavens will open and descend to take in such Royal clothed Priests that have put off their changeable Heavens and are all clothed with substantial Power If any one ask How this shall be and when VVe can only direct you to wait at the High-Priest's Gate by whom our inlet into all of this high inconceiveable working Powers in the holy Ghost which will the separating Description make and show by real Evidence who it is that from men and the Earth are in truth all fully redeemed Before we can give over this subject we are to make known for the Priestly Election sake that they may be strengthened supported and encouraged in their process from the knowledge of these special Royalties which to them do belong it having been specified what are the high Qualifications of this high Priesthood who must no more look down towards the creeping things of this Earth for here you must consider the Enochian translation these Priests being designed for the company of God the most holy separated Beeing for there is a real taking into God to be experienced and a ceasing from the Life of Sin Now for the bringing up hereunto there must be a passing through until the Holiest of all be entred into But now come we to describe what this holy Function stands chargeable withal as also the Dignity Power and Pre-eminence which doth attend it Every High-Priest taken from men is ordained in things pertaining to God that he may offer Gifts and Sacrifices for Sin This is a Charge which to this New Covenant Priesthood doth still belong for whoso meet to deal with God and to make intercession as the Pure and Merciful who have themselves been encompassed with Infirmity and passed through divers Temptations who but these can know how to have Compassion of the Ignorant and Knowing also that have turned aside from the Sanctuary of Gods Presence and Walks and thereby have lost their peace and joy therefore God hath as well provided in this case Priests and Mediators on the Earth as he hath provided that great High-Priest who is entred into the Heavens for the self-same Prevailency and Power will be found in and amongst this holy and undefiled Priesthood because where-ever Christ in his spiritual Body is present with the breathing Power of the holy Ghost it implies great Efficacy in every Oblation and Prayer which in their behalf shall be put up Thus a Spirit of attoning is appropriated unto the Melchizedeck-Pristhood from whom more fruitful Powers must branch forth for further service in their Place and Office There is also an Absolving Commission given That whosoever's Sins they remit they are from all Guilt discharged as pronouncing it in the Person and Power of him to whom the holy Ghost was given without Measure and who after his Resurrection breathed forth this Power upon his Disciples That whatever they bound on Earth should be bound in Heaven Hereby communicating his Priestly Power and Authority that as he the Son of Man had power to forgive sins so might they also have on Earth after his Departure to carry on their Apostolical Dispensation which only lasted for a while and being lost a feigned Form was set up in stead of it without any sealing Effects of Spirit or Power Thus the Shadow hath held up without any living presence in Babel which boasts of a Key which never yet could open nor give Enlargement to those who were bound in the Cords of Iniquity for how should they who are not purified themselves help or succour their Brethren And though this true thing hath been abused by the Arrogant and Self-exalting Spirit that with this Priestly Robe covers all manner of filch and Uncleanness all of which will come to bear its shame and have its Overthrow as this True and Royal Priesthood shall rise in Power in the true Tabernacle where the holy Ghost will present the Priestly Offerings and this is that which upon sure grounds we know is now reviving again the most Holy will bring forth his Priestly
Unction which will take the Chair that so this holy Ordination may take place in great Soveraignity The holy and just One hath reserved his last and most wonderful sealing Testimony for to go forth from the Unity of an holy Priestly Spirit which is so far perfected as to stand no more in need of Offerings for Sin because he who sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are made all one in this Ministration for if they come not to a sinless state they cannot be of this high Priestly Order because to it a Key is given which must open all the twelve Gates before-mentioned And without all Controversie great is that Power that shall be here concentred for our exalted Christ who is passed higher than the Heavens hath recovered Power to transfer himself in his divine Purity and excellent Might unto this elected Priesthood which shall be visible here on Earth This is the true Mount-Zion from whence Decrees Laws Judgments and holy Statutes shall go forth from the Urim and Thummim sound Knowledge and Understanding and the Certainty of the words of Truth hence shall proceed so that it will be a most sure and safe Oracle in all difficult Soul-cases and to determine all Doubts and Difficulties for of Old the Israel of God would not venture upon any Concern nor attempt any Design without having first enquired at the Priests Mouth who only was to give forth the Mind of God which will now be again renewed for those who are not admitted to this high Calling of the holy Priesthood for such honour these Saints shall have above the lower Ranks as being not ordained by man nor after the Law of a carnal Commandment but by the impressed Seal of the mighty God Here need no Epistles of Commendation the Powers of this Priestly Dignity will be sufficient Orators to recommend them for great Signs and Wonders will be acted forth when the Temple-Body of the holy Ghost shall come down and open it self in the Priestly Ministration every Branch of which will have its multiplying Fruits for the Praise-Offering of the Sanctuary I shall now declare what the Testimony of Truth hath spoken in me which is this That whatever God is or can do the same will appear in and amongst this Priestly Order Visions Proverbs and Similitudes must cease which as leading stars have been under the Son's Ministration this being the fulness of time in which the Father will shew himself plainly without any Figures or Shadows in the substantial Body of Power uncessantly flowing from which the New Creation must bud out in a fresh Glory and all of the old fade and dye away But here it may be objected Where are there any to be found of this Royal Priesthood who may give forth a Sealing Evidence in this present time They have indeed been long predicted of but we would fain see some really instated in this high Order For Answer to this I say there may possibly be some who are advanced to a good degree of this high state and who have passed through the first and second Order all which is an inward secret purifying work from Sin and holy Ground made ready for the Righteous Branch in its Lilly-beauty to spring which may be done without any great noise for where Christ is come to offer himself once for all then the next thing that follows is the coming of the holy Ghost to reign all in all wherefore we will believe and hope there may be some under this peculiar Ordination though dispersed and unknown who are all ready to enter upon the third Degree which is the spriritual Rule and Authority for it is no less than a perfect Regeneration that bringeth to this Gate because whoever enters here must first have shaken hands with a worldly Conversation no more touching any dead thing wherefore this state is not common or easily attained but by such who are touched by Love and anointed for this holy Melchizedeck Order of their calling to which none shall ever have cause to Repent for great are the Royalties that will follow according as hath been declared The Spirit of Prophecy spake thus to me expresly as the close of this subject saying I will chuse a Disciplehood yet upon the Earth a gain who shall know me in my inward spiritual figure as in former time I was known in a visible Humanity by Voice and Shape but now I am come to appear and walk upon invisible Earth which none but the spiritual Man understands my Speech or sees my transformed Shape to such who my chosen Disciples are I will familiarly appear for behold I upon a new Election am who the Alpha and Omega is to call together such whose Names are sound in the Crown Number Roll one by one till to the hundred and forty four Thousand for the increase manifestation of this most holy Priesthood blessed are they that shall be the first Foundation Pillars hereof so saith the Yea Amen for this will be the Virgin Church upon whom no Spot ar Wrinkle shall be found for if found faulty I cannot be their Priestly head for the case is clean alter'd of what it was in the day of my visible Corporiety which was the first dawning of my Day in which the mixed and imperfect things among my Disciplehood could not so suddenly fly away therefore a suffering state was to succeed after me that so sin by its daily dyings might expire which among my old Disciplehood in that Age great effect did take but yet deceasing before reaching to the full and perfect date of what was to be the Churches primitive state now something greater and more perfect is to be revealed after so long and cloudy a Night of Apostacy where there has been a going back instead of going forward but there is a Star that shall arise out of the same light Orb whereof it shall be said Behold Wisdom's Day through dark Clouds doth appear out of whose Virgin Womb bright Stars of Glory generated are innumerably to make up that Temple-Church all fair and christaline terrible as an Army with Banners that shall display my Strength and Power This is the Trumpet sound of Christ the Lords Spirit to such who of this high and holy Order are that they may break away from their Iron Yokes and be unbound from all Terrestrial things for to come to be received into this new Disciplehood and with the Lord to have all freedom of Speech Oh! where shall we find any that shall for this high and spiritual degree all they have and are here for to resigne that as fixed Pillars for this first born Church they may come so to be Lord Jesus it is thy golden Crook that must take hold I see for such a Priestly Ministry I shall before I conclude answer some Queries that may arise in the Minds of some as they read these Prophetical Revelations who may require some further satisfaction concerning the truth of these things
greet them whom we discern to be of a high and lofty stature having shot forth their Branches in great lustre and glory as having got beyond all declarative Revelations and Teachings as not receiving or needing any but what their own center of Light will supply them withal here-from inclining to slight what lies in bank and store with their fellow-Labourers for this same Treasure to such this word is sent that they carry it in great humility and lowliness of Mind prefering each ones gift before or as their own maintaining all sweet and lovely Fellowship with those of lower or higher degrees in mutual Concord and Harmony for the maintaining a holy Fraternity and spiritual Neighbourhood although each Saint may have a full Provision and plentiful Portion of Spirit in themselves so as they have no dependance on another yet love is freely communitive and disperseth it self in great variety so as what one Saint is gifted and furnished with the other may want of that sort and kind and so a heavenly Traffick and Correspondency may be maintained feeding and feasting with each other on the various Fruits as all springing from one Stock and Tree of Life for it is experienced that much increase of the holy Anointing hath flown forth by the converse and declaration of divine Inspirations from one Saint to another the which hath begotten a new and spiritual Generation as in former Ages so in this sending forth divine sparks of Light and Love for the gathering in of the holy priestly Train that are to make up the Temple-Glory till the which shall come to be compleated there will be all need of this holy in spiring Breath to be breathed from one to another whether by vocal Voice inspeaking or converse as the holy Spirit shall go forth in its various operations for the edifying of the Body of Love for a holy Convocation to the Lord. In the hopeful Expectation of which I have been driven to disclose these great and deep secrets being assured That this Generation shall not pass away before there shall be a fulfilling of what hath been revealed prophecied of in this little Tract and blessed are they that shall have their lot and portion herein There is a rich Bank yet behind from whence the oily Springs do fill that may be emptied forth when Vessels are made more fine and ready thereof to take in for the which we shall wait and seek to find some such for to partake of that rich and weighty Prize that yet lieth in the secret eternal Mine for there is Vally deep which under the Water of Life doth lie that will bring forth the fruitful Olive Plants that shall be there fed and nourished hiddenly till of a strong and full grown stature in Spirit and Power they may come for to be then will they shew themselves to the true Israel of God universally that the Priestly Kingdom may come for to spread and flourish every where in power and great glory sealed with Mission of the holy Ghost acting and going forth in signal miraculous working Powers for confirmation of the truth of this Dispensation in such a way as none shall resist nor any dark Magician shall be able to counterfeit for so strong and impregnable is the Foundation of this Temple-body of glory that neither Dragon Beast or false Prophet shall be able it to undermine it being built and compact together of precious Saphire Stones transparent for Beauty and Glory the Jasper Stone being both Foundation and Covering thereon then will the shout of a King be heard in the Land of Salvation Oh! ye holy and elect of God where-ever you have been hid appear if you have put on your anointed Shield promote and help forward this royal Priesthood wherein the lively express of the holy Ghost is to be manifested Oh! that some fitch might be known that hereto do give themselves and mind no other thing as the Lords approved Work-men that may come to build up the inward Priestly Temple whose Furniture and Glory shall be the Gifts and Powers of the holy Ghost And now what have I more to do but to wait in hope that the pure flaming Spirit may henceforth go forth to gather in this Priestly Host who as in a reathed Chain of Love united may be inseparable that so we may come to take our degrees of Prophets Priests and Kings for the making good what hath been in this Treatise revealed which though in the form of a dead Letter yet O God as the Auther hereof did in the writing meet with a mighty flow of the anointing Presence so let the same out-flowing Spring accompany such whom thou hast ordained to be taken into this holy Priestly Order to which give thy Amen O great High-Priest to whom the Glory hereof doth belong Even so let that Kingdom come into this World that shall consist of Kings Priests and Prophets with all such Righteous Plants let the whole Earth be plantd for Joy and Praise to him who is the Antient of Days Hellelujah to him who is KING of Kings THE END As you may see in the Book entituled The Heavenly Cloud by the same Author Meaning the Book of the Heavenly Cloud Acts 1. 4.
