Being in my private Ejaculations, this Word sounded in me, All Prayings, Pro∣phecyings, Speakings, are of no vali∣dity but what proceed from the Head∣covering: which is the Miter-Crown of Purity and Power, which the Unction alone for you must draw down from him, who holdeth in his Hand the Seven Star-Powers to encompass you round, that so no nakedness may be more found upon you. For what is more empty, naked, and void, then Words that are not touched with the Altar-Coal, that giveth Impreg∣nancy where-ever it falleth? Therefore hereunto watch, and go not forth in any of these ministring Services, with∣out you wrap up close this Nazarite Co∣vering of Strength about you; for want of which your Labours have been fruit∣less, and my Spirit hath been under re∣proach and derision to you; which shame I am come to take off from you, to whom this Caution I do give, not to be too hasty, to run out, before you have put on your Garment of strength. Better Page  419 it is to wait in Secresie, till thy Cover∣ting is all finished by him, who in his own method moveth and worketh all effectually; into whose Mold being cast, ye will certainly come forth a much more refined piece of glorious workmanship, for the illustration of the Spirit's Mini∣stration. Which Wheel hath by the de∣cree of the Almighty begun to move; Now see to it, and keep it still going side by side, with the Spirit that is the Life-motion of it, who will plunge you in, to know and see yet greater things, as you can keep strait course with it. Then may you dive into the Seven Star-Pool, which will draw out the last Trumpet-shout, of a God Omnipotent, for a Covering throughout to thee. Who but thee, oh thou Spirit, in the burning Wheel canst work: which for us effect quickly.
