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.

March the 25th. 1676.

This Morning I felt mighty strong Gusts, and Powers come into me, which ascended out in Prayers, that the Sign might follow to give the demonstra∣tion of our particular Election, and

Calling, as it did upon the first Gospel Professors; that we might have Power to cast out unclean Spirits: So to co∣work and mingle with the Meek and Eternal Life-Essences of the Lamb, as that we may be able to send forth such vertual Rays of Powers, and Sweetnesses, for our own and others Safety, Guard, and Relief. For I heard this Word: Go not out without your Shepherd's Bag and his Staff; for out of an Invi∣sible Store ye must spend, and bring out from your own Heavenly Country and Father's House; as unknown and Strangers in this Land, where your out∣ward Feet do stand; who will not trust, or credit further to you give, then they shall see that ye have got with you Great Cesar's Decree, and Superscrip∣tion upon your Coyn, written round about with that Name, I am the Alpha and Omega: This will, O my Dove Spirits, with you every where pass: and all your Enemies, and all that are alie•…•…ated, and Strangers to you, now shall seek to make a Covenant, League and Peace; for why? they will cry the Name of God, wherein all the believing doth lie; upon the Fore∣heads

of these is written most visibly. This is the Strange Work, that I am for you bringing to pass, if ye still will guided be, by Wisdom's Counsel, and her bright Eye, ye shall to this most high Degree arise: and thereby Ho∣nour you Spiritual Parentage. Hence∣forth forbear to sort your selves, with what is not of the same most inward Fold, with whom your great Shepherd doth walk, and can only with new risen Spirits talk, and be open and free, as lodging in one Heart of Purity; toge∣ther for mutual Joys and Embracings highly Magical, whereby you will draw out most mighty Force and Strength, to aid and back whatever in my Work and Service ye are intent upon; as thou hast witnessed already a good Confession of me, so still maintain Truth's liberty: stand up in the Christ-like Might, and in him thou wilt tread down strength: and nothing shall be too hard for thee. Thy defence and security shall be from the flowing Oyl, running through the Uni∣corn, that mighty is to push and batter down all exalted Towers, which now will be raised against those, who my ap∣pointed Standard-bearers are, to pro∣claim

my Flag of defiance, in the view and sight of such as live in great despight, decrying down my Paradisical Laws, Liberties, and Kingly Rights.
