The ascent to the mount of vision where many things were shewn, concerning I. The first resurrection; II. The state of separated souls; III. The patriarchal life; IV. The kingdom of Christ: with an account of the approaching blessed state of this nation.

Iuly 21. 1698.

HEre follows another Manifestation given forth, which I did not apprehend at the Writing of the former that it would be so fully and suddenly open'd unto me. But an occasion was given hereto by some Queries of a choice and elect Stone sent to me concerning the swallow∣ing up of Mortality in Immortality: Whether or no such a time might not be expected, wherein this vile Body might know a Translation even in this Life?

§. XXV. Which gave me occasion to introvert and sink into the deep Centre of Wisdom, where I met with various Discoveries hereupon, from that Intelligence that appeared to me in the Figure of a white and bright Dove, having three Eyes, from each of which went forth sparkling Flames. They were placed one on the Breast, and one under each Wing. Im∣mediately this Word was given out, Behold here is the triune Eye; Denominated from the Father, with the Eternal Wis∣dom, and the Son concurring in the Holy Spirit. In whom has been treasured up what is now to be open'd and re∣vealed, concerning the great things that are to be brought forth in this latter Age of the World. For in whatever Heart and Mind this holy Dove shall find entrance and reception, it shall be as the Heavenly Court and Council wherein the divine Wisdom shall unfold the greatest of Secrets, as upon the day approaching hereunto they shall be expedient to be known. There was a Prophecy run through me in this sense: What is to be established for the Foundation structure of the Temple Body, is to have each Stone this three∣fold Eye of the Dove for their seeing and enlivening, so that by sending forth these bright Raies, they may draw in such Stones, as lye yet dead and Buried in the Earth. For the chief and elect Stones that are already Cemanted together as in one ac∣cord

they abide, shall generate and multiply Spiritual live Stones numerously. So that herefrom may be expected the Reign of our Emmanuel.

§. XXVI. The beginning and method of which was thus platform'd out to me, as in the Mount was seen in the threefold Court there; in Persons so indued and qualified to be Pro∣phets, Priests, and Kings; which are to be laid as the Founda∣tion of that ever Springing Creation, that are born into a State of Eternal Generation. These shall know length of Days, as it was in the Patriarchs before the Flood, even to Me∣thusalah's Years. This good old Golden Age will presage that Christ has set his Foot to Reign upon the Earth in his Spirit, made manifest in his Temple-Body, whom he has espoused to himself as his Bride. Who will rise and shine in her Or∣namental Gifts and Powers, Cloathed with that flaming Robe that the Moth of Corruption cannot eat out.

XXVII. So in answer to the Query made by that worthy Person, the swallowing up of the outward Body, into an immortal Figure of Glory for constant manifestation and du∣ration I do not expect to see, till the Lord of Glory him∣self shall appear; then such as are alive at that day shall be transfigured instantly, and be made like him, for they shall see him as he is. Not but that there may be upon some ex∣traordinary occasion, a Transfiguration for to give a proof of the verity and possibility of it, as in the case of Christ him∣self, but this only transient. And further we are to note, according as has been seen in the clear Glass of divine Se∣crets; that such of the long-lived Stones as shall reach to the Patriarchal Ages, will be found in a more fit capacity to tran∣scend all these Bounds and Limits of numbers of Years, by putting on of that Glorified Figure which can never need to fear the diminution and alteration of its Beauty and Per∣fection: as they shall bear up in the unwavering Faith hereof they may hold out till the Personal Glory shall descend; while others that may also be Spiritually united in the Tem∣ple-Body

through doubtfulness, and sensible feeling of in∣firmities; with other temptations incident to the Corpo∣real State, may not be able to hold out beyond the Mortal Life; but this will no way hinder but that they may main∣tain their Spiritual Affinity and Fellowship with those others, that out-live them in the Body: and shall be privileged more particularly to descend with Christ, and to rejoice to∣gether with them in the Neptial Unity. Therefore coun∣sell'd and call'd upon, we are to keep up in the Faith and strive hard that so we may attain the Prize, and reach the Crown Number, each one standing in their Lot as it shall in divine Wisdom be decreed; and as the measuring Line of Life shall be stretched out upon them: Having no more to do but to watch and wait each one, in the inward Court of a pure Mind.

§. XXVIII. For the confirmation of these Prophetical O∣penings there is a Scripture-evidence, as a foregoing and more antient Prophecy. As Isa. 65. 20 There shall be no more thence an Infant, nor an old Man that hath not filled his days: for the Child shall dye a Hundred years old, but the sinner being an Hundred years old shall be accursed. Also verse 20. as the days of a Tree are the days of my People, and mine E∣lect shall long enjoy the Work of their Hands. And Isa. 25. 8. He will swallow up Death in Victory, and the Lord God shall wipe away Tears from off all faces. And lastly, that place, Rev. 20. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first Resurrection: on such the second Death hath no power, but they shall be Priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand Years. These Scriptures are a plain and evident proof, that such a State shall be within the Holy Mountain of the Lord, when it comes to be established, as has by Vision and Prophecy been hereof declared.

§. XXIX. Now it may be asked, by what means and after what manner shall this be brought to pass, for in present

view the highest Saints are subject to Infirmities, Diseases and Death? True it is so, and may continue so to be, till Christ who is the Tree of Life shall out of the Ground of renewed Nature Spring: Which he will not fail to do in such as are weaned from that forbidden Tree, from whence the Curse and Death hath been drawn in, which is the old poisoned Root, that can only be healed and recovered again to its own Original purity, by the Iuice and Sap that is offered most freely for an Effectual & Wonderful Transformation; for you must know that till there be a perfect State arrived to, these two Trees will both be growing in Natures Ground within us; and as the Souls propension, and feeding is, such Fruits it will bring forth. This runs Paralel with that Representation Christ gave of himself, as the Bread of Life. Iohn 6. 50. This is the Bread which cometh down from Heaven, that a Man may eat thereof, and not die: and more Emphatically in the next Verse, Ifany Man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever: So again Verse 58. Not as your Fathers did eat Man∣na and are dead. Now what kind of Eating must this be, but the very Quintessential Spirit of Christ, the true Tree of Life drawn into the Soul by the strong attraction, of Faith and Love.

§. XXX. Now in order to the true Participation hereof, and attaining to the essentiality of the Resurrection-Life; There is a new Institution that has been Commanded and gi∣ven forth to some, that in the Faith and expectation of this great Change have waiting been; the Practice hereof being but among a certain Number that have had open'd in them, the Mystery of Christ's Resurrection-Life. That as hitherto the Solemnization of the dying Lord, has been observed un∣der the suffering State of the Church: So now upon the new Modification, as having the Eye of Faith upon the Resurrecti∣on-mark, there is a particular Commemoration likewise of his Resurrection, not only personally from the Grave, but also

of his rising in us out of our deadly Mold, Celebrating here withal the Marriage-Union, as being risen with him from the Dead: And this Symbol, as it is received Virtually and Powerfully, incorporates with and infuses by degrees, That which is incorruptible into the outward Body also, to make it hold out the Race that it is set to run, within the Circle-Reign of our great Immanuel. The good influences of this Institution hath been experienc'd in the Partakers hereof, as greatly Advantageous for their growth, and flourishing to∣wards this translated Life: So that it may be well worth joining in a high and holy Communion, in this true Love and Resurrection-Feast.

§. XXXI. Now if it be inquired where this Reign of Christ, in such choice Spirits will first appear: It is not limited or con∣fin'd to any Nation or Kingdom, but Persons out of all Ranks and Degrees, high or low, from the Monarch to the meanest of States, may come to be Subjects of this Kingdom and Do∣minion. It is not the Locality of the Place, or Diffe∣rence of Degree, that can hinder the Combination and Entercourse with the first Born from the Dead, and with those that are in Ioint-Possession with him in his Kingdom. If so, then it is no distance that can separate the Spirits of the Church of the first Born here upon this visible Stage: But there will be a sense and knowledge, of the State and Condition of each other, how far removed soever. Several instances there are for it, both in Antient Records and in present experience; hence it is that St. Paul being ab∣sent, was present in Spirit to the Corinthians beholding their Order. Nay, further when this Estate shall come to its high Mag∣nitude, that the Etherial Body shall penetrate through the Grosser part, they may walk upon the Waters, or pass through the Doors, and be of that swift flight, as to out∣run the Chariots and Horsemen. But all of this we pass o∣ver as not knowing the time when this high divine Magia

shall be set a work. For if the false and dark Magicians can do marvelous things out of their Centres, much more then may the Wonders be brought forth out of the true Origi∣nal and Creating power, from the Abyssal Eternity. Which will have their time of Reviving again in this new modell'd Reign, as God shall move in Nature, and Creature in this last Period of time.

§. XXXII. Now it remains further to be considered, what are the Laws appertaining to this new modell'd State; which will not be after the manner of the old Covenant, written in Tables of Stone, which gave not force nor power for O∣bedience: for that Law being weak through the flesh, Christ became the end of it, and so is become a fiery Law in the Spi∣rit of Life, engraven upon the Mind and Heart; there Spring∣ing and Rising according to the pure dictate of the Holy Ghost. Having reference only to what shall be immediately taught from God, as a Fountain still flowing in. Now as to the Particular Laws, I shall refer to a Book put forth in the Year 1695. Entituled the Laws of Paradise. I shall offer at present only what is the Sum of them, which is Love to God, and Faith in him. For this new Creation-State and Life is all founded thereupon, and so the Building must be carried on and supported by these two great Pillars, from whence may be branched forth the manifold Wisdom, that will from the high and Heavenly Court be given out. For as it is there, so it must be here: that the principal Elders in the Love and Faith, as they are deputed to bear Rule and Go∣vernment here, so must they have recourse to the King of Kings and his Privy Counsellours, and so derive down and give forth what has been confirmed, and sealed by Him unto those that are under their Iurisdiction. Thus it shall be ac∣cording to what is mention'd, Iob 22. 28. Thou shalt also de∣cree a thing, and it shall be Establisht to thee. That is, what∣ever they shall believe for, as Springing from the root∣law

of Life, Christ in us, shall be fully accomplisht and made good. Otherwise there could be no maintaining this Sove∣raignty and Power, over the contradictions of Spirits, that would still keep up and make opposition by their Traditi∣onal Laws. Which must be subdued and brought under to these high born Spirits, into whose hand the ruling Scepter is given. The mighty God confiding in them, in their Hu∣mility, Meekness and great Wisdom, for the management of this Trust reposed in them.

§. XXXIII. It may further be asked, Whether these Chil∣dren of the Kingdom shall not stand in need of the outward Accommodations, as may be meet to supply and support the outward State, and how they shall come by them? It is an∣swered there will be a requiring of these things, but with a very different use of them; as in the degenerate Life, they take their pleasure and pride in the abuse of them, making them as their Mammon God: which our Lord does caution us, was not to be allowed in a Redeemed State, wherein they were to take no thought for these things as the Gentiles did; but absolutely to pin our Faith upon the All-sufficiency, who will give the Blessing of increase to such as shall make them only as Steps, which they set their foot upon, that they may with greater freedom be advancing to a higher Sphear; as having matters of greater Consequence to mind, which are the manifold. Affairs that appertain to the Government and King∣dom of Christ; which indeed is so considerable as will drink up their whole time, so as they will have little leisure to mind Trivial and Transitory things. And therefore 'tis not to be doubted, but such shall have more than enough; so that they shall not have only for their own use, but also as Stew∣ards to dispense out of God's Stock and Store. For this we have not only private experience in manifold. Instances hereof, for the Building upon this Foundation of Faith, but also many Scripture Prophesies, that must have their ful∣filling,

which is to be expected in such an Age of time, as this is which we have been Treating of; which will be the true Solomon's Lily-Day. That in the 45 Psalm, verse 12. is so considerable, I cannot but mention it; And the Daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift, even the rich among the Peo∣ple shall intreat thy favour. Such likewise is that Isa. 61. 5, 6. And strangers shall stand and feed your stocks, and the Sons of the Alien shall be your Plow-men; and your Vine-dresser. But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: Men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the Riches of the Gentiles, and in their Glory shall ye boast your selves. By all this you see the high Prerogatives and great Immunities that do belong to the Royal seed and Offspring, that into the Priestly Court are taken in, as the Anointed ones to Minister in the Holy Tabernacle: whose Lot and Portion will not be among the outward Tribes of the Earth, but out of the Treasure-house of Faith.

§. XXXIV. The day is already come, wherein these Pro∣phecies begin to be fulfill'd. For there shall be a bringing in from far: for it shall be as in Solomons time, Materials for the Temple-Glory of this day and the Magnificence of it, shall be heaped up and given in, in all abundance. The Re∣nown of which shall go throughout all quarters of the Earth. So that as the Queen of Sheba did then, now shall the Kings and Princes and great ones of the Earth both from the East and West, North and South, come to the Mountain of the Lords House, and bring their Glory and Honour in∣to it; and highly favoured they may reckon themselves to hear this Ioyful Sound; which many in former Ages have de∣sired to hear, but have not heard. Therefore this gracious Call is all worthy to be taken hold of, that they may be Instal∣led in that Dominion and Power, where Mortality shall not supplant them of a true and unfadeable Felicity. For know there is a new time approaching, such as never was: for

the Kingdom and Dominion of Christ, in Power and Autho∣rity has never yet had any establishment upon the Earth, nor could indeed, because this long Life and Age was not yet to be. For by this length of Days there will be time given for the finishing Transgression and Sin, and bringing in that perfection of Righteousness that shall have no end. As there was folly in not improving that long State of Life by those before the Flood, for which end God allow'd it them, to try if they would recover their Angelical and Paradisical State, and remove the Curse from the Earth, for which end his Spirit did strive with them, which being resisted, God short∣ned their Days; So now the eternal Wisdom of God pro∣vokes for the recovery of that lapsed Age again, that a se∣cond proving may be made in this last Age of the World, having now the assistance of the Spirit of Christ, which shall now be poured forth as a Flood of Flaming Love, to burn away all the compacted Matter and Mould of the Earthly Image; so as in this day it shall be said, Christ lives and walks upon the Earth in and among this selected Number, upon whose Shoulders the Government of his Kingdom is to rest. For the Spirit of God and of his Glorious Power shall rest upon them so evidently, that all shall be forced to acknow∣ledge that these are the Anointed ones, as bearing the Royal Priestly Mark of their God and King. For upon them the Heavenly Power shall descend, for the Heavens that have been shut so long, shall now open stand for a free recourse to our mighty Redeemers Princely Court, that from that upper King∣dom, Orders and Commissions may be brought down for the management of these lower Regions; that they may run parallel with what is transacted among the Saints in the high∣er. With whom in this State there will be a great Freedom and Familiarity; so that a Council and Senate both of the higher and lower Court, shall meet to determine what high Miraculous works shall be expedient to be wrought.

§. XXXV. Now it is already so far made manifest, that whereas the confusion of Languages was a great Iudgment and Witness of God's displeasure against that Age of Time. So that it caused a scattering and loss of thé one pure Lan∣guage of Nature. Which now in this new State and King∣dom will be restored again. About which I had some inqui∣ry in the Spirit of my mind, how and by what means the Unity of Speech might be opned again; for as it is in Mount-Sión above, where Christ Reigns personally, so it must be here on Earth, where he is now to set, his Reign' up Spiri∣tually. They all that are above do Harmonize together in the pure Language of Nature. And thus it is expedient, that it should be in Mount-Sion here below. For it was said this Gift should come upon such as were Principal Stones and Builders of that new Ierusalem, the City wherein the Reign of the mighty God and King may begin.

§. XXXVI. While I was considering this thing, there was a sudden opening of the Temple-Glory in the Heavens. Which drew away my Spirit thereunto. Where I did see in the Hand of a bright Body, the Figure of a Heart clear as Crystal with Strings or Veins of Gold; in the midst of which there was fixed a flaming Root, from whence branch∣ed out Tongues as so many divided Flames: by which I was answered that according to this figurative Representation it might be given me to understand, that the Root of pure Speech must proceed from the pure Heart of the Tri-une Dei∣ty, and so formed into Christ the Essential Word it self, first going forth in pure Cogitation, without sound or Voice; whereby in this internal stillness, God discourses with the Soul, and the Soul with God, out of the Flaming Centre of this Tri-une Heart; and from whence it may proceed and form it self into outward Organical Speech. Which will carry Tućh a fiery flaming Power and Efficacy, as shall beget the same Native Language in others, and open the Centres that have

been shut up them; that is to be understood of those that prepared and qualified to receive it, through the Faith and expectation of these Gifts. And it was said further, when ye see this great gift put forth; it will be a certain sign that the gathering in of all Nations from far will be; to the be∣holding and admiring of the first appearance of Christ in his Kingdom and Reign. Through these impregnable and extra∣ordinary Gifts, the Holy Ghost will be made apparently ma∣nifest, that he is return'd, in order to restore and Build up what has been laid Wast and Desolate, here upon the Earth.

§. XXXVII. The next Gift that is to accompany this Bles∣sed day, is to find out and open the All-healing Pool, where the Corrupt and Putrifactious Matter, in the Body Elemen∣tary may through the continual rising Spring of this Water of Life, receive Clarifying and Healing. And where-ever these Waters of the Sanctuary do rise, there every thing shall be healed and maintain'd in Life, according to that Scripture, Ezek. 47. 9. So that according to the long date of Life de∣signed for this State; this River for Life must never cease to run through the Corporeal Forms. And whereas in the first appearances of this gift of healing in the Elijah Spirit, as a Type fore-runing Christ, and in the following Century of the Apostles, it was appropriated to them to convey vertue out of themselves for healing; which they could not com∣mand at all times, for then they would have conquer'd all Sickness and Death in themselves; But when this mighty Gift shall be restored again, it shall go on to fixation and Conquest of all Maladies. For the great evil of Sin will be taken out of the way, and so the suffering must cease. For the Inha∣bitants that live in this new planted Region shall not com∣plain they are Sick: For they shall be forgiven their Iniqui∣ty, Isa. 33. 24. So that where Sin is taken out of the way, Sorrow and the Curse, which are the product of it, must needs

cease. Also Zech. 3. 8, 9, 10. For behold I will, bring forth my Servant the Branch, &c. And I will remove the Iniquity of that Land in one Day. In that day saith the Lord, shall ye call every Man his Neighbour under the Vine, and under the Fig-tree. For if there should not be an Antidotal Medicine provided against all Corruptibility, it would be rather a Punishment than a Pleasure, to live in such a Body as should not be free from Infirmities, whereupon it was made manifest to be, that each one who should be counted worthy to be numbered among the first Fruits of the Resurrection-State, shall be as so many Trees of Life, that shall put forth the Golden Leaves for Medicine to themselves. Which shall be as a constant Imbalming to render their Bodies durable and Incorruptible. O Blessed and highly Marvelous and Won∣derful, will this great Appearance of Christ in his Saints, be in its Time. For which it is only required of this Genera∣tion, that they gird up in the Faith, and be found in wait∣ing and Preparation for it.

§. XXXVIII. Now I do see in Spirit some Footsteps are al∣ready taken, in order to this translated State. An Election has been hereunto from the Eternal Court and Council in the Heavens, for the gathering such as shall be steady Pil∣lars to bear up the Mountain of Holiness: upon which shall be written Emmanuel liveth and resteth here. But let it be known that this Ascent to the height of this Majestick Reign of Christ, and Arrival to this length of Days will not be all at once, but rising by Degrees; There will be several Signs that will fore-run it. The Messengers for this end must go forth to Preach up the Faith and to draw forth an expecta∣tion of it, in such as shall be Selected hereunto: So that there will be some Bright Stars that will rise, and go forth as Lightning upon the Earth: receiving special Endowments and Spiritual gifts; and in an eminent manner the Gift of dis∣cerning Spirits; piercing into the very thoughts and intent of

the Heart; As Peter perceived the perverse design of Ana∣nias and Sapphira, the Spirit of God within him opening it unto him. And so in the same manner will these things be made manifest again. For as the World in Age grows old, so the Mystery of iniquity will wax greater, by putting on and Counterfeiting the very Robe of Christ's Innocency and Truth: and also by a breaking forth of the dark Ma∣gick, as the more true and divine by way of Miraculous Working is coming forth. Therefore the Tri une Council in Heaven foreseeing this will raise up such as shall be of quick∣sight, and sound Iudgment to detect and countermine, what would make the true thing questioned and invalued. There∣fore the Lord will see it necessary to set his own Stamp, first for Immaculate purity, and next for great Powerfulness, to do and act in such a manner as none of the false Magicians shall be able to imitate, or stand before them. Thus the Lord will move himself step by step. And for length of Days, at first it may not arrive to above a Hundred Years, and so in every Generation there will be an Increase, as they grow strong∣er in Spirit, and work themselves more out of the Gross and Elementary Life; for there will be skill and understanding given to draw in from the one pure Element. And there will also be outward Medicines discovered that have not yet been; that will have a wonderful Efficacy for the preserving and fortifying Nature, and recovering the lost Paradisical Body. There is a Vein of Gold in Eternal Natures Garden, that has not yet been pierced into: which, when the Divine Artists shall be sent forth, shall be broken up and run most free, as the true Elixir appropriated and reserved for this Age, and a Soveraign help and Blessing to the Inhabitants of this new Kingdom. Now who would not rejoice to see the Dawnings and first breakings forth of this most Wonderful time; for which end these Discoveries and Manifestations of the ap∣proaching time, have been given out through one that has

been upon the Watch-Tower. Who has received Commis∣sion to declare what is here Written: for inviting and ex∣citing all the Unbelieving as well as the Believing, the Igno∣rant as well as the Knowing, of what Name or Profession so∣ever they be; but especially the Philadelphian-Flock, that they may all take good notice of the present Season, or the Be∣ginning of the Love-Reign. Wherein the true Philadelphi∣an-State will be better understood, known and established. The Foundation whereof is already laid, whereby as flaming Stones of Love, the Fountain-Heart of God's love they will reach, to multiply therefrom as numberless Golden Sands and Drops of Love, as Seeds to overspread the Earth. For Loves∣day shall now bear the Dominion over all the wrathful Pro∣perties, which shall all sink away, as this day of the Lords shall in Mortals Reign.

§. XXXIX. One considerable thing I have more to open, which is, concerning the great Wonder seen in Heaven, (mentioned by St. Iohn,) of the Woman Cloathed with the Sun, and the Moon under her feet, of which there have gone forth many Interpretations and Calculations, of the time of her Travail and bringing forth the Man-Child. Now as to this, it is made manifest that her coming forth out of the Wilderness, will signify this great day of Dominion and Pow∣er over the Earth, as has been here made mention of. For there can be no Soveraignty of Rule and Command, till she has brought forth that Man-Child that is to Rule the Nations with a Rod of Iron. Now this Wilderness-State, (according to the Spiritual and Mystical sence thereof) is to be under∣stood of a quiet Retirement, shelter and defence from the fury of the Dragon, where she is fed and nourisht with the true Manna and Eternal Word of Life, having free enter∣course as St. Iohn had in the Isle of Patmos, with the supe∣rior Heavens for communications and discoveries, for such a time and season. As also that holy Birth that hath proceed∣ed

from her, is to remain in the Heavens till the number of Time shall be finished. Who shall come forth in the Male strength of a Godhead-might in some Persons both Males and Females, that shall be fitly Qualified to bear rule and to ma∣nage the Rod of Power; according to that Type of the Rod put into Moses hand, by which he did all those great Miracles. For thus the Regency will be with a Superiority over all the outward Constellations, and changeable motions of the Planets; all Sublunary things being put under their Feet. For the united Number of these High-born Spirits, will have their cloathing from that Sun, whose fixation is in the one unchangeable Element, unto which all other Elements must bow and be made Subject. Tho' there will not be wanting after all this attempts by the Satanical Spirit and Kingdom; who will encompass and encamp against the Lamb and his Bride. But this will be permitted for that end, that the Omnipotent Rod put into their hands, may be more signally stretched out, to break all Combinations, and bring to nought all that would deal Treacherously against those, whose Persons the God-man hath taken up to magnifie his great Reign and Power in over all Nations of the Earth. And so that saying may be made good; Micah 4. 8. And thou O Tow∣er of the Flock, the strong hold of the Daughter of Sion, un∣to thee shall it come, even the first Dominion; the Kingdom shall come to the Daughter of Ierusalem.

§. XL. Now 'tis given me to declare, that this is not only in future expectation, but that there has been already some con∣summation of this Prophecy. For a true Travail has gone forth, not by one only in singularity, but by many, who have been carried into the Spiritual Wilderness, in Abstraction and Seperation from all Worldly conversation, ascending upon the Eagle-Wing so high, as to acquaint themselves with the high Throne Dominions in the Heavenly places, that they might behold the patterns there that are to be imitated here

below. And in this present time it is to be understood, that there is an earnest expectation and waiting for that Holy Birth that is ascended for to descend, as a rising Star in the pure Virgin-Heart: which will pass as Lightning from one to ano∣ther in Wisdom, Power, and great Excellency, dilating it self as well into what is Visible as Invisible. And thus shall the Dominion be given to the Saints of the most High, according to that of Daniel, Chap. 7. Verse 18. and 27.

§. XLI. Now I shall conclude this Subject with that word of Love-Caution and Command, which has been given to my self upon the opening of this Manifestation; Which is, that ye to whose hands this shall come, do not put this time and day afar off. But be found in such a Posture and Spiri∣tual habit of mind that you may be prepared, and have your Ear open'd to hear the Voice and Sound of the Seventh Angel, that goes forth to proclaim that the Kingdoms of this World are become the Kingdoms of the Lord and his Christ. Even so let all Unite with me in Spirit, to intercede for the descending of this Holy and pure Reign with Christ in Spirit; till he shall appear in his Glorified Per∣son, to consummate all that may make for the full Restau∣ration of the whole Creation: Even so saith the Spirit and the Bride in him, who is the

Amen.
