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 8th. 1676. The Interpretation of the former Vision.

The Representation of this former Conveying Body of my Lord Jesus, did not only affect my in-seeing Eye, but by it I found my Life-Spirit fed, succoured, and strengthned. The very sucking down these Spiritual Sweets, (as com∣pounded all at one draught) had their operative Power for some hours after. And again this Morning they did plen∣tifully give out themselves, after the manner of a Conduit, that hath many Pipes at once springing; yet all in their Order, and as soon as one stops, an∣other

opens. Oh who can of these deep Manifestations judge, but such as are overtaken with these Golden Floods, that from the glorified Body do thus open, for the nourishing up of every part, till we answer hereunto in a perfect lustrious Body, like to like. Which my Spirit prayed vigorously for, seeking also to have a clear understanding of this Vision, waiting in great and pure awe, for my Immanuel to give me his Mind herein. Who said to me, By this is shewn thee what the Counsel of the Tri∣nity hath determined to do for you, that have out-grown the Child's Food. Here are new and fresh sprouting Powers, which will make my imbreathed Spirit grow into a Body. As a Nazarite it is to be, who must wait continually here∣upon, and must be under a restraint, so as only to take in what these Pipes shall give forth, that so the pure Crystalline thing may live in you, which will Leaven you throughout. Whereby the Most High and wonderful Consubstantiation will be ef∣fected to the glory of the New Creation. Then I further queried about the Book, and the Lamb which was first presented

to feed upon. It was said as to the Book, though opened, none could it read, because we were not come to such a growth of understanding, as being such as are newly weaned from the Breast. Then it was opened to me concerning the Lamb, that it was the Dying Dispen∣sation, which did go before the rising Living Body, which quickens and brings to Life again, as it is written, I am the Lamb slain, that is risen, and do live to feed my Flock for evermore, from that Body, wherein is the chiefest store. Then it was revealed to me, that the Book which I saw opened was, and still should have been sealed up, had not the Lamb in me over Death prevailed, but now the Seals are undone, and it is given to the Re∣deemed for to look into it, though not learned yet high enough, to compre∣hend those great and wonderful things, which are reserved for the full grown Spirit: Who understands all of the high Tongue and Seraphick Canaan Lan∣guage, in which we shall be taught, as we are strong, and have aptness of Abi∣lity to take in, from this sevenfold Fountain-spring, of which evermore, Lord Jesus, give thou us in to take.
