shal live for evermore for now shal appear the sign of the Son of man coming in the ayre which sign of my coming is now forasmuch as I the Lord of host doth begin to declare unto my servants what I do now intend to do for this ayre where it is said then shall appear the sign of the Son of man is not meant only the ayre above but rather that ayre which is in this earth of yours for as your bodies are earthy so are they aëry for they even your bodys are not compounded only of earth but of aire and so I appearing in your bodies and so making choice of instruments for to do my work and my strange worke that is my sign or the sign of the Son of man coming in the aire which sign is for to give people warning of what I intend to do that so if I find them not doing what I would have them to do they may the better be judged by me and so punished for not doing of what I would have them do for the appearing of my sign is to declare unto them that I am coming to judge and destroy all things in man especially in my Saints besides my self and so to raise my son up from that grave and place of imprisonment as now for the present lies in even to restore her to life that she may dy no more for blessed are they that have part in the first resurrection on whom the second death shall have no power it is a most joyful saying to them that have themselves raised up to be brought into such a place where they shall die no more which will be at the place where I have appointed to make my self glorious and so vvil appear in my glory and so make my povver knovvn by being a God of povver vvho have raised up Sion from amongst their enemies and have brought her into her ovvn land even into a place vvhere she my wife and I must be married and so they shal live for ever and never dy no more for my Sion shal be changed so shal become nevv for the old man vvhich for the present they carry about them shal be destroyed and the nevv man Christ shal come forth and so they shall live for ever and never dy more and so after this they shal be as the Angels of God as my son Christ said that should neither marry or be given in marrige but shal live in the ful enjoyment of me vvho am the Lord of host that lives for evermore for vvhen they are brought into the ful and perfect enjoyment of me and be at peace vvith themselves so as they shal never marry or give themselvs in marriage according to the customes of us novv these customs shall vvholy be destroyed and a nevv one shal come in that they shall live in pure and perfect enjoiment of me their creator and so shal have the use of those vvhom I appoint together and so shal have the use of one another For the Angels that neither marry or give themselves in marriage are not any created substances besides man as to be in a place above the skies keeping of me company in one place yea though it is true the Angels the good angels as you cal them that left not their first estate do keep me company and are where I am and where I be there they be For these Angels made mention of and also them made mention of in Peter that left their first estate and so are reserved in chaines of darkness unto the great day are no other angels then what is in man For I the Lord of host made man purely good and before he fel he was holy just and upright being a pure Angel of mine and so one that should never dy if he had continued in the condition as he was set in but it was the pleasure of I the creator to set him in such a condition as I knew wel enough he should fal for had it been the pleasure of I the Lord he should have stood and so have lived for ever for if he had stood and lived for ever then should not my power have bin seen so much as it is now for this Adam was made good and just and all things in him and all things besides him were good and not evil but yet notwithstanding out of this Adam who was made good and just did proceed a Serpent for to beguil Eve the weaker vessel and this Serpent was not a serpent a creature that poisons and so lives as a creature no but this Serpent was within Eve and Adam and so was somthing from Adam degenerated from its institution from what it should be to what it should not be and that is this as Adam was made good and no evil was to be seen in him as I the Lord of host hath declared at the first but that I the Lord gave him reason and knowledge and wisdome which in themselves were very good for by these things he did differ from the beasts and from every living creature and by these things as reason knowledge and wisdome did he give unto every creature which I the Lord God had made and also did he know the nature of every green herbe and of every thing as to give them a name Thus was Adam in his first estate good furnished with every thing and so did live in paradise even in God and so had the pure and perfect enjoyment of the creator that made him but it did please me for to let him alone and Eve especially being the weaker vessel and not able to contain her self in that condition as to know much and do little but she did put her self forward in a way for to eat the apple that she was commanded to let alone for she had so much reason wisdome and knowledge as that she knew wel enough that if she did eate of the fruit she should have bin as God and this the Serpent who being a more subtil creature then any of the beasts of the field was did urge Eve for to eat of the fruit which Serpent was no other but that reason wisdome and knowledge which is the spirit of men and women and is in man very good of it self if man had but power for to keep it under from going about to do that it should not do and this was the only Serpent that made Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit even that reason knowledge and wisdome that was in her for that reason and knowledge wisdome that was in her did degenerat from what it should do and did do what it should not the degenerating from what it should do was its pride by doing what it should not do as it was given her for to know how she should keep perform that she had a command for to do It was good in its self but instead of keeping she breaks the command that by being beguiled by the Serpent which is
off the earth self-love shal cease and universal love shall flow in and then righteousness shal look down from heaven and spring out of the earth and there will be no complaining in our streets as there is now crying out for bread bread for the Lords sake no but this noise shall cease and the saying of James come more into their minds that they shall now not think it enough to say be ye warmed and so give the poor nothing but only pitty them and feed them with words but they shal now say come in eat and drink with us for you are the work of the Lord and what we have now you may freely take for the Lord of host hath now made bare his holy armes and all the earth shall see the salvation of God and all shall now know and see that the Lord hath redeemed the creation from bondage into the liberty of the sons of God all men shall be freed from the Bondage and slavery they now are under and shall now begin to see and know that it is a sin to have respect to one in glorious apparel and say pray Sir come you and sit up here when you say to one in poor cloathes sit thou at our foot stool for I the Lord of host will make you all know now that you are all of one blood and so are all now fellow creatures and that I have as much respect to one in poor cloths as to one in gay ones and that I will make you know that it s your duty for to love one another even your enemies for if you fulfil the royal law according to Scripture thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self which is not for the present who art thou that hath fulfilled this Scripture that can say and thy conscience not accuse thee to thy face that thou doth love thy neighbor as thy self but rather thy conscience will tel thee that thou dost not love thy neighbor as thy self for if thou didst thou wouldst not let thy neighbour be in want but would have as much care of him as thy self if thou hast rost-meat to let him have rost-meat and in so doing thou will fulfil this Scripture therefore yea that do plead for Scripture so much and make so gallant a show of religion as you do consider the Scriptures aforementioned and you shall see that you live far short of fulfilling the Scripture for what soever you would that men should do unto you even so do thou unto them for this is the Law and the Prophets wouldst thou have men to love you and do you good if thou wouldst then thou must love them and do them good but indeed you will say why should I love them they are of a strange opinion this is but the Devil in you for hating your fellow creatures which must be destroyed and brought to nothing that I the Lord of host may be exalted which will not be till I make my strange work come to pass as to destroy all self and private intrest of saying this is mine and when this is done then you will love your neighbour as your self and then you shall see and know with the Apostle that all things are lawful for you that is as the Apostle knew that he might do what he would do and have what creatures he would have for food and rayment in that they are all gods so you shall now know that you may have the use of all and see all to be yours and that this is the work of God for to bring in universall love and freedome And the Lord said behold behold what dost thou see loe I beheld and there appeared a tree full of fruit and the fruit much like to apples one part of them and the other part of them like unto peares and I said Lord what meaneth this tree and the Lord said this tree doth represent Christ that as thou seest fruit upon this tree and it is very pleasant to see to even so is Jesus Christ a tree of life that bears abundance of fruit and as thou sawest these men and women gather this fruit and eat them and presently there was new fruit in the room of that which was pulled off These men and women re-present my sons and daughters who are alwayes a feeding on Jesus Christ and yet cannot make him to leave off bearing fruit and as thou sawest that these men and women that pulled and ate did live for ever and were not to dy after it doth shew that my sons and daughters feeding on me the Lord of host shall live for ever for as thou sawest that this food was very pleasant even so am I the Lord of host to those that do delight in me And moreover this tree doth set forth the tree that is spoken of in the Revelations to be a tree of life that shall heal the nations for as thou did see this tree appear of a sudden with fruit thereon even so will I the Lord of life that lives for evermore appear in such an hour and at such a time when most men little think of me to the destruction of them and bringing of them to nothing that so I may appear to be the life of those that do now know me and enjoy me for by my appearing will I make my self manifest to be the food that every one must eat of and that all other food which is not of me must be brought to nothing for as I am set forth by a tree so will I appear in power to the confounding of those that feed not on me and so will make wast all their gods which they have to feed upon besides me and all and every one shall be brought to nothing that I the Lord of host may be all and in all and so exalted above all to which I say amen And presently after this there appeared a garden full of flowers as to my thinking I saw them like roses of all sorts and cornations pinks and all manner of flowers and I said Lord what doth these mean and the Lord said these do represent abundance of joy even the verities of joys which my sons and daughters shall have even they shall enjoy the most precious and most pleasant jewells that are or can be for they shall have the use of all things that are precious and shall have the enjoyment of all the treasurs of the world and nothing shall be unpleasant to them but every thing shall give a good smell and shall be very pleasant to them making of them to rejoyce and sing and set forth the praise of me the Lord of host for as these flowers did smel most sweetly even so saith the Lord of host will I by my own power make all things that appear now to be unsavory or unpleasant to give a most pleasant smell and as thou didst see in this garden abundance of green herbes these green herbes doth set forth the flourishing conditions of my Saints
other wicked men in whom the same spirit remaines and I do also allow unto these witches power for to torment as to bewitch the cattle of men for they in bewitching of them they dy for it is my pleasure to suffer this for a while and these witches are the divel and serpent mentioned and the divel that Christ cast forth which run into the heard of swine was no other spirit or divel but the spirit and divel of a wicked man deceased its going into the heard of swine by asking Christ leave shewes that it cannot go into any it self or what it doth it doth it by having permission from me to do it and so nothing is done but I must give way for it to be done as I gave way for the Divel that was cast out to go into the herd of swine which swine sets forth wicked men for nothing is more like to a wicked man then a swine for as a wicked man wil drink and be drunk so wil a swine swil til he bursts himself if he might be put to some ale or strong beer so that the Divel being cast out of a wicked man and the man become a convert there is no place for him to be any longer but the Divel begging to go into the herd of swine shewes his earnest desire to be in his element for the swine sets forth wicked men and so the divel that was cast forth went into the wicked men even into its center from whence it came For the very rise of this Divel and also of wicked spirits which are Divels was not made by God even by I the Lord of host to be so but they departing from good and made the good which I gave them evil and so they became Divels declining from doing that which I commanded them to do and so the very rise and fountain from whence the Divel came was from man his imaginations being continually evil though man could never do so much as to do any thing contrary to me but must of necessity do my pleasure for I only am active and the creature only and alone passive so that Divel that doth most torment men is God who doth give power unto wicked spirits for to punish them and wicked spirits do nothing but what is the pleasure of I their King who suffers them to do as they do while the time runs round and comes to the same being and form as it was at the first For the seed of the woman shall break the serpents head this woman is the Church and so the seed is Christ in this Church so then the Christ which is the new man shal in time rise and break in peices the old man old Adam shal be destroyed and consumed to nothing the Serpent whose head must be broke is that reason knowledge and wisdome even that Serpent and Divel that came in by disobedience and must be destroyed and so cast into the lake of fire for the day of judgement unto which this Divel is reserved and kept in chaines of darkness is the day of my power by which power I wil destroy and bring to nothing this Divel for the day of iudgement when I wil judge this Divel it wil be my bright appearing to confound the adversary and so to bring to nothing all the serpentine wisdome of the flesh and also all the cuning and craftiness of the proud flesh for the chains in which this Serpent is reserved is nothing else but that I do out give unto all that power and strength to come into its first station where in it was set which in time I wil destroy al besides these things that shal appear gloriously and shine by holding forth my glory and wil make Christ the new man appear in power spreading of it self in all for to redeem all from this power of darkness and wil make man to be as he was at the first taking away the Divel wicked spirits from man yea out of man and that which was made good and become a Divel shal once again become good and so become an Angel of light for my self spreading in my sons and daughters in my chosen and peculiar ones at Jerusalem first whither I wil gather my Sion together and that power that spreads in them shal in time spread it self and never leave spreading until it hath redeemed the earth from the curse so hath redeemed man from being any more subject to the serpent and so wil never leave spreading its self until it brings all into its self from whence all came and so shal all once again return even into the same condition as Adam was in for all to be as one and all speak one language for as at the building of Babel all were confounded in their languages even so at the destruction of Babel shal all be brought to speak one language which wil be in revolution of all things when the time even that time shal be at an end then wil there be a redemption from all bondage not some only but all yea the whole creation shal then be wholly set free into the glorious liberties of the sons of God all creatures shal then have benefit by Christ yea the very poor beasts for all things shal become as they were in Adams daies before he fel even in the year vvhen I the Lord even I the mighty God of Iacob wil judge and destroy al that enmity that hath bin betwixt the creature and so all that enmity that hath been betvvixt one Creature and another and all shal be set free even into liberty once again so that I vvil make all men to be changed and vvil take avvay that malicious spirit that novv is and remaines amongst men and I even I vvil bring all things round and so vvil make my son Christ to be a great redeemer and he shal redeem all that did fal in Adam from death and misery into the same condition as Adam vvas in at the first even to set all in purity and so to make all live in God and so shal all Israel be saved and all ungodliness shal be turned avvay for it is my pleasure for to take pitty on the vvorks of my hand not to continue in vvrath against my poor creatures vvho are not able to do any thing vvithout me and so the time of the restitution of all things to the same as they vvere in Adam before he fel shal clearly be manifested after 7000 years be accomplished and brought to an end but vvhile then the creature man shal not be vvholy set free from the curse that is from serpentine vvisdome and from being troubled and perplexed because I the Lord of host doth not shine upon them For darkness shal cover the earth and gross darkness the people this darkness that shal cover the earth vvil be by reason it is my pleasure to forgo all forms and dispensations and all outvvard vvorships vvhatsoever and so vvholy to give
