A fountain of gardens Vol. II. Being a continuation of the process of a life according to faith, of the divinely magical knowledge, and of the new creation. In mutual entertainments betwixt the essential wisdom, and the soul in her progress through paradise, to Mount Sion, and to the new Jerusalem. By J. Lead.

August the 23th. 1677.

I heard this Word this Morning, Bles∣sed and praise worthy indeed shall such be, who make the first battery upon his strong Holds and Territories; so as to lay them waste in this terrestrial state. Then this word was further given me. Oh, the Sinless state will do it. Then there were in way of Vision, several Pa∣pers, as written upon, to my view; and a Voice spake, Get them signed with this wonderful Name, and then you may have what you will granted by him who carries the Treasury Key. This much answered to a word which sometime I had before, of getting Bills of Faith subscribed to. Then was further open∣ed unto me the great freedom and effica∣cy that we might have, by Entring our selves into this Name: or rather by its entring into us, for the dispersing all its Powers. Oh, what singular advantage it is to have such a rich Banker to charge upon, while we are in this Foreign Coun∣try,

and necessitous place, as to answer to all just requirings, as soon as the Fa∣ther seeth but his or his Sons Name to any Petition, there is no scruple of an∣swering to it. Christ told his Disciples, that hitherto they had asked nothing in his Name. Verily the same may be said of us: We have often pronounced this Name literally; but that hath been little available. But we have not so asked, as to breath forth all pure flames from this Name, without any of the old Name mingling with it; for if so, then immediate effects would follow. For if at any time all pure Inspiration did open from this Name, what is there to be named, that we might not be able to work and do, through this great Name Alpha and Ome∣ga? Oh, might we come to be known by that, and no other Name abiding in us! then whatever was 〈◊〉〈◊〉 by us on Earth, should be surely confirmed in Heaven. It is well 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ou•• looking into this Mystery, and making our aim at this White Mark: that will bring to us so considerable a Prize; as hath been so freely revealed to us by the Spirit, that so through this Name we might be Conquerors over this whole Principle.
