Then was figured out the Morning following, somewhat that looked clear as Glass, or Water coagulated like Ice, which was of a dissolving matter, yet formed as into a square stone; with Let∣ters of Gold upon it; and it was held out by a Hand breaking through a white Cloud. And this word came with it, Take eat this down, ye who have been
made to drink into the Lamb's dying Name: Whose right it is to take hereof, that it may mightly operate in you. Then said I, ah Lord, who can eat down, what is so hard congealed, this seems improper to be? This was answered from that Scripture, of Iohn's taking the Book out of the Angels hand, Rev. 10. and was commanded to eat it down. Then was that Scripture repeated also Iohn 6. Except ye eat my Flesh, and drink my Blood, ye cannot have Life by me; then was I convinced of the necessity thereof. For it was said, that this was the very White Stone, that had that New Name, which was Alpha and Omega engraven upon it. The Properties of which was not sufficient to be only revealed, and proclaimed to the understanding; for it would slide away therefrom again. Nei∣ther is it enough for to taste only by one transient Vision hereof, but let it be thy daily meat. For this Stone, though it appeared rocky and clear, yet to the Heart-mouth, it will be all candy and sweet, dissolving it self as it emptieth it self. Oh, then this did further arise from the anointed Name, which had poured in of its virtue, in which I did
feel afresh, at the present time of wri∣ting hereof, that I might hereunto set my Seal of the rich effusion which did come hereout. Who can best describe the Properties of this Name, but such who feelingly feel the Virtue of it, who according to the measures that it hath opened it self, so may they declare there∣of? As Iohn and Peter, when examined by the Rulers, by what Power they had made the Lame-man to walk, It was boldly affirmed by Peter, that it was by this Name Jesus, which is changed now into the Name of Soveraignty and Power, by which they acted forth. Had not this Name been poured in, and they fil∣led with it, then none of these worthy deeds could have been done by the Apostles. But it was evident, that this Name of Strength and All-healing Power was with them; and their very Adver∣saries were confounded at it. So ve∣rily this mighty Name is rising again, for very much of it did open it self, as to the preparative quality, which pre∣ceeds Miraculous Workings visibly upon others. For this word was given to me, saying, This my Name shall burn, as an Oven within, till there be no more
matter for the Evil One to work upon; that so the Proverb may cease, Physiti∣an, heal thy self. Or pluck, out the Mote or Beam out of thy own Eye first, be∣fore thou undertakest for another. For now consider, that to act and work, and to do all in my Name uncontrollably ac∣cording to power and might, it is very necessary: that so ye by a celestial tie of a powerful Engine, may absolutely turn the whole course of the active Na∣ture; which is so prone to promote, and give all its force to strengthen the man of sin and his Kingdom. Now here the effects of my Name shed in will first be seen: you shall know it not only by taste, but witness it, running through in every Intellectual Part, as burning Gold healing and purifying. This will be the first wonderful projection of this White Stone within. Then further it will proceed, ye need not make any doubt, take only this my Councel, and follow: what hath been revealed to thee. Let not thy hand slack herefrom, though there should be none to bear them up, but the Alpha and Omega: who is without shadow of change, and he is alive to bring the Kingdom yet about. Verily, there
is nothing, which the Prince of this World doth so much dread and fear, as to lose his Seat and Place: so that he can have no more inrodes within, by awake∣ning any evil essence there; my Name, as Moulten Gold, burning him out of the internal part as often. By my Spirit, said the Holy One, this Principal thing has been pressed in divers ways of Open∣ings, and set before you variously in Similitudes. All which is to provoke you to follow on jointly; that so this my Name might be as one in you, ga∣thered thereinto; without giving way to what may be suggested from the Ser∣pent for scattering, still to keep off that great blessing, which you may obtain in praying from this sweet Name Jesus, now changed into Alpha and Omega: whereby the Kingdom will come into you i•• Power, through this glorified Name run∣ning, as Golden Oyntment, in you and through you. Then know, that the Kingdoms of this World are become his, who hath proclaimed this mighty Name, and hath poured of it into you. By vir∣tue of which they verily shall become yours: and thereby ye will despoil the great prerogatives of the now present
Reign of the Serpent, and the Beast in this visible World.
