A fountain of gardens watered by the rivers of divine pleasure, and springing up in all the variety of spiritual plants; blown up the pure breath into a paradise, sending forth their sweet savours, and strong odours, for soul-refreshing. By Jane Lead.

January the 5th. 1675/6.

From this Word of Instruction I was convinced of the expediency of having conjunction and mixture with the Fe∣male Virgin tincture, in which I was made to understand what Force, Might and Strength lieth couched therein, as the Womb which conceiveth and bringeth forth numberless Birth-Powers into a manifest Existence: therefore no sooner do's the Shilah grow up, which signifies the grown state of Jesus, that for him is de∣signed a Spouse & Bride, that so Male and Female in one pure Virgin-Body might meet together to quicken, and raise the dead Essences of the Life, which so long have been sunk into its central ground, and is not to be awakened but through the uniting Powers of Spiri∣tual Sol and Venus, which is after an Hypostatical going into each other; ming∣ling Powers, according to the Nature and Vertue of the precious Golden Seed which in the divine Matrix is sown, as the Materiallity of that most pure Ghostly Body, which from hence is be∣gotten

and generated, as was expresly unfolded unto me, that we might know the way and manner of this wonderful propagation the Spirit and Bride. From this opening the great necessity was shewn me, for the following close this conjucal Band of Marriage-Consumma∣tion for effectual operation, depending thereupon: for the Man-God cannot be without his Virgin-Female, which hath the tinctural Deity, which is the Glory of the Lamb, Wisdom's Bridegroom, which when grown up in us to Marriage-state, seeketh a Companion that is sui∣tably accomplished with all Divine Per∣fections, for Joy, Delight, and Increase in the Heavenly Gifts and Powers, after the manner of a Divine Celestial co-opera∣tion, from whence is the ingendring of all pure Births, that admission and right have to the Kingdom of Light, Joy and Glory. In this lieth the great Secret of the new model of Nature again formed, and quickned in a bodified Substance, far transcending that which is brought forth according to the outward Elements, which is for ever remote from the Fa∣ther of Spirits, who hath given charge that no Wife shall be taken for his Isaac

out from that strange Birth and Lineage: for all bringeth forth according to its Likeness; that which is born of Spirit, is Essential, Mighty and Powerful, as the similitude of God. Now then saith the Spirit, that hath all good will to you, which have made out for this high Match for your selves: Oh go forward and prosper, send forth all your Royal Train to meet your Rebecca at the Wells of Joy and Salvation: present her by the Hand of Faith, those strong scented Love-Bracelets and Chain for her Neck, that may give full Testimony of both your high floated Affections towards her.
