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.

September the 4th. 1676.

After this passed, I considered how to be changed into this Globe of un∣mixed solid matter, groaning after the contaction of his Heavenly material thing, which in Vision I had seen. Then heard I Wisdom's Word to cry within me, saying, Thy Mind must be cast into a new Mold of Imagination, that so thy thoughts may come to answer mine. That Scripture being brought to me, Let the unrighteous Man forsake his thoughts, and turn to his God. At this Word, I said, Oh my Lord, who can nullify and put a stop to his own thoughts, which is a connexion to his Life. For every sight of the Eye, and hearing of the Ear, doth stir up and awaken these Essences; therefore there is no possibili∣ty of stopping the current of them, but they will run their Course, as the Sun, Moon, and Stars in their Order will Under whose Constellations while we are living, such common thoughts wil•…•… arise, which though not wholly evil, ye•…•… because they are not holy and perfectly

good, they cannot be according to what proceeds from the Heart of God, who would that our Thoughts and Ways should be like unto his. This case I presented before my God, and my Lord Jesus to be answered.
