Ianuary the 28th. 1676/7.

This Morning the Spirit gave this Word of Counsel, as also for a Caution, in and upon this great Expectation. Be∣ware of the Tempter, in relation to the Hope of Transmutation. Who subtilly stands ready here to mingle, who wait∣eth to see if you should hereby be ex∣alted by any elevated aims, that are not clear and justifiable in the Eye of the Holy Trinity.

Humility, make no terms or conditions, what Body you shall come forth with, leave that to him who is the Re∣surrection and Life. Who will give eve∣ry Spirit a Body, as may answer to what for them is designed, whether to appear, or disappear in this Principle, according as the most Holy shall see meet, to em∣ploy you in new raised Bodies, or to draw up into that Orb, which is all in∣visible, to officiate as an Eternal Sanctu∣ary. Only in this be watchful, and purge out all high and self-ambitious aims, testifying how great your Rejoy∣cings are, in the dying Marks and Signs, whereby as it is said, the World is cru∣cified to you, and you unto the same, and hereby you shall lose no due Fame, whether or no ye look unto the Reward, that shall follow all this. God himself hereunto will have respect for you, up∣on whose Faithfulness and Truth you may well rest. Who will dignifie and honour what hath been set most light and contemptably by: therefore observe and narrow up to this Death-Path in the first place, and that most circumspect∣ly. Ad the Blessing of Life will ever∣more attend you.
