Reuelatio Dei The reuelation of God, and his great propheatie: which God now; in the last daye; hath shewed vnto his elect. Set-fourth by HN, and by him pervsed anew and more distinctlie declared. Translated out of Base-almayne.

The Fourth Chap.

[ A] NOw when-as I had in such-sort spokē-fourth all thissame before the Most-highest / so looked I then vpwardes int•• Heauen / the* 1.1 Seate of the Lorde: which the Godhead so throughlie* 1.2 filled / that ther was no-wheare any emptie Place to be founde / through∣out the whole Heauen. Consideringe now heeron / I thought in my Heart: O supreame Godhead! Thou fillest the whole Heauen. Whea••e is then {reversed ;}I beseech thee; the Habitation or Place of thy Sainctes?

2. Now whilst I thus was combred heer-with∣all / in my Thoughtes / ther appeered vnto mee frō Heauen {reversed ;}out of the Beeinge of the Godhead; Te∣stimony-of-trueth. and saide vnto mee: Thou lookest onlie on the Heauen / the Seate of the Lord, and not {reversed ;}in circuite round-about; on the Multitude of all the Heauens of God-his heauenlie Kingdom / wher-in also God doth liue gloriouslie / and is also all in all in thesame.

[ B] 3. Then turned I about my Sight / both high and lowe / and also lardge round-about: and ther∣withall ther was shewed vnto mee / many Multi∣tudes of thowsand Heauens of thesame great God. And yet God filled neuerthelesse all these his Hea∣uens

/ with his Godhead: and yet it was all one-with-the-other / like-as one Heauen / and as one great glorious God.

4. Then asked I Testimony-of-trueth: What are {reversed ;}I praye thee; all the Thowsandes of these∣same Heauens / wherin God liueth and triumpheth so gloriouslie and through-lightinglie:c 1.3 and that reioyce them all with each-other so triumphantile / in the Light / Woorde / and Life of God: and that also with God {reversed ;}from the Heauen / eauen vnto the Earth;d 1.4 reach euerye-wheare ouer the vniuersall Earth / round-about the Lordes Feete: and yet ne∣uerthelesse {reversed ;}they all together; are ioyned one to-an∣other and one in-another; as one Heauen; eauen vnto the Highest with the Godhead.

5. THen saide Testimony-of-trueth vnto [ C] mee: All the Multitudes of Heauens / which thou seest {reversed ;}as if it were one Heauen; so ioy∣ned-together in each-other. and yet notwithstand∣inge streatch-out themselues / ouer the vniuersall Earth / vpon the Earth: That is the spirituall hea∣uenlie e 1.5 Bodie / with his manye Members. name∣lie / all the Sainctes or Holyones of God / f 1.6 wherin God dwelleth and liueth.

6. Which one Bodie {reversed ;}with the manie Multi∣tudes of his Members;g 1.7 raigneth with God: and beareth euenso his Dominion with God. Therfore it is namedh 1.8 ISRAEL.

7. Thissame heauenlye Bodie {reversed ;}with all hys Members; is also iustifiedi 1.9 or clensed from the Sinne. and is likewise {reversed ;}to his Saluation and

Ioye in the euerlasting Life;k 1.10 annoynted with the Holie-spirit of God. Therfore it is alsol 1.11 called / Christian.

8. When I now had once hearde and vnder∣stoode thissame / I marueiled ther-at very-much: and demaunded yet farder / whether that those∣same Holyones / were the Generations of Abrahā, and the Children of God and Christ/m 1.12 according to the Promises of God the Father / and the Te∣stimonies of y^e Scriptures / of the holie Propheates and Euangelistes.

[ D] 9. THen saide Testimony-of-trueth vnto mee: Yea / they are the-same. Howbeit / the Woorking of God touching These / hath euer∣moren 1.13 rested-secreat before the Wise of y^e Worlde: but according to the Will of God the heauenlie Father / they haue ben alwaies; through his Light of Life / and of the heauenlie Trueth; shewed and made-knowen / vnto theo 1.14 Humble and Single-mindedones / which {reversed ;}with whole Heart;p 1.15 had a Lust to accomplish the Will of the Lorde.

10. Then saide I: O my Lorde / infourme mee I praye thee / in what-sort / and also from whence / all these Multitudesq 1.16 of Sainctes / are com or growen to such-amaner of heauenlie Beeinge: and how that the Worlde / and all Generations of the Earth / r 1.17 shall obtaine their Blessinge and Salua∣tion / which is promised vnto them / accordinge to the Testimonie of the holie Scripture. For in my Thoughtes, I am also combred heer-with.
