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.

August the 27th. 1676.

Being upon my Watch-Tower, to heat and learn what further Remove we must go forward to, and Eagerly pressing to get out from under the Reign of the Ten Horned Beast, who doth daily at us push, as being exalted to that Pinacle of Power, which doth command all these lower Worlds, imprinting its mark on the whole Universe, who are under his Planet born, and in his Kingdom found; Out from which our Lord with many Trumpets sounds hath called us; this Word anew was uttered; Ah, come and see the Thousand Years Reign of the Lamb are upon the Entring, by those who are worthy to find a part in the first Re∣surrection. This only will free from the decree of unavoidable Death, which is the Wages of the Sin-deformed Beast, who is to return again to the Lake, at the time when Jesus begins his Reign. Lo, the old Dragon, who in the Beastly

Nature hath governed, will be laid hold upon, by the strong Angel, who hath prevailed to chain him up, and also to obliterate both his Image and Name that have lived and reigned in this visi∣ble World, in such mighty Fame. But strong and omnipotent is he, who saith, Behold, I come to sound that Trumpet, which shall bring forth a new World, for an end of the Old is come before me, in them, who will be found the first model of this new Creation, which will consist all of new raised Spirits with their full grown Bodies, bearing the Lamb's Mark and Name as Sheep of ano∣ther Pasture and Fold, feeding in such a rich Soil, as maketh fat and flourish∣ing, meet to stand in the view of the great King, whom you must come up to, in your new risen Immaculate Spi∣rit and Body, that we may see you are the right Heirs, now grown up for the Kingdom, to whom the Key of the Government doth belong. Being pas∣sed through this Kingdom, standing out against all his imposed Traditions, Mark, and Name, whereby you were to be proved, whether or no ye would bow

to his unrighteous and pernitious Power and Scepter. Against which still main∣tain your Ground, and hold out, for your ten daies Tribulation are not all fully expired; in which time, the Dragon will have great rage, knowing his date is almost worn out, as to those that have gone through the beheading for the Resurrection-Life sake. For which death's hour of Temptation hold∣ing out, a weighty Crown will be sent down, and put on by him in the sight of all your Enemies, who will maintain his right upon and over the Earth with these his tried Stones, to unite his power to as with them to reign, till you shall see all, and every thing put under which now is above you, for when my Name is known to spring within the Resurrection Body, and to open in Majesty; doubt not, but there∣to every Knee shall bow and will bring their Gifts, and entreat your aspect and favour. The God, and Father of Lights having anointed you above your Fel∣lows, and reinstated you with me to a Throne of dignity, where all in the lower Sphear shall be judged by you,

having received Kingly Power, not for hours or dayes, but for to endure throughout all Generations. Now con∣sider as wise Princely Virgins, what for a while, ye may yet encounter with during the Dragon's reign. Do not fear him, nor his Scorpion Stings, which now will hardly come into you, his place being demolished and his Towers falling, and the new Body rising, where∣in nothing of his Kingdom can be more found: which he seeing, it will make his Kingdom to tremble, that power is now assuming that will bind the crook∣ed Leviathan, who still sends out his poisonous Floods, to destroy this Birth of Life which shall reign over all, by him who hath gotten the Victory over the Fall, and came up with great bold∣ness, shewing your bloody marks through the fight of Faith, whereby ye may make claim to the Bride and the Ivory Throne, there with her to lodge, live, and reign in everlasting fame: Amen, crieth your Bridegroom from Hea∣ven.
