Mother doth a Datted Bairn She will not let him go to School to Learn and why Because she dow not want him out of her Sight She will therefore never let him do well but feed him to the Gallows We dow not give away our Souls to Christ who would fain have them and easily Mend them but Lust keeps them like the Foolish Mother out of Christ's Company And Pride keeps another Man's Heart and Covetousness another Man's Heart that that Dear Craftsman Christ that made the Heart and made the Earth under our Feet New and the Mountains New yet we will not let Him make our Old Hearts New Our Souls are all hinging in Tattars Worn and Old with Sin and we dow not put them in Christ's Hand that would make them Whole and Cleanse them Fy upon thee that thy Garden was Cursed in Adam's Days to bring forth Nettles and Thorns and is Blessed to bring out Fruit in Christ and thy Soul gets not so much Good of Christ as thy Yard It is made New and thy Soul remains Old and Christ gets not his Craft among us He bids John write these Things about the State of the Glorified and calls them Faithfull and True He would not Intrust his Word to Man's Memory and Conscience He will have it written Blasphemous Papists laugh not at this nor call the Pope's Breast the Bible Here a Warrand for the written Scripture But indeed it tells us that Mans Falshood wore his Conscience had his Conscience been a Faithfull Register there should have been no need of a written Bible But now the Lord has lippened more to Dead Paper than to a Living Mans Soul Our Conscience now under Sin has not been a Good Bible Because Man is ready to run away from his Conscience because what is written on our Conscience as that there is a GOD a Judgement a Heaven or Hell Satan and Sin comes in as Two False Witnesses and blots our that and writes that in the Fool's Heart that says there is no GOD And there is many Holes in our Souls the Word of GOD comes in and runs out again at back spouts except Jesus make their Soul Water-fast so that the Word of GOD may Dwell in them plentifully Colos. 3. 16. Is not our Hearts compared to a Field wherein the Preacher sows the Seed Mat. 13. and the Black Spirits of Hell comes and gathers up Christ's Wheat O but there are many running out Souls and much need we have of a written Bible and therefore make much of the written Word and pray GOD to Copy his Bible and to write a New Book of his Doctrine in our Hearts and put it in the Conscience as he directs Jer. 31. 1.

Four Angels is brought in holding the four Winds in their Hands as if they had the World in their Hands and as if they had it ready to Fold it up as a Sheet And O! what a fighting and business do they make to get a Clout of this Sheet He starring out his Eyes and he setting out his Neck for a piece of this Hollie Clout and Sheet and for a Gloib of the Earth But see Rev. 6. 14. The Heavens shall depart away like a Scroll of Parchment that is rolled together and the Fair Stories thereof are like Figs with the shake of the Almighty's Arm they shall fall together to the Ground and what more with a Touch of the Almighty's Hand or a Put of his Little Finger with the Blast of his Mouth saying It is done The Cupples of the Walls of the House cometh down Now I cannot but speak of Fools that has their Heads full of Wind-Mills and crys it is beginning and to Morrow shall be as this Day and much more abundant Isaiah 56.
