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.

November the 16th. 1677.

I had this Night much inward Expostu∣lation, tending to my full and per∣fect Change into such a Spiritual Corpo∣riety, in which the offence of Sin might altogether cease. For since the Holy Teacher and Guide hath been plain with me, that without I here attain to be Born again, so as no composition of the first ori∣ginal matter of Sin may spring; till then I can have no free access, nor be taken up into all Spousal freedom in the Love-Joys, that are only known by such, who are redeemed from all Sin. For the Lamb, the Bridegroom can take no other into the Marriage-Bed of inflamed Love with him, but an immaculate Bride, all Fair and Serene. The Father hath charged him, to bring no other into his Kingdom. Now then said the Spirit, you see that my striving in you, is all to make you commendable, that the Father him∣self

may love you, and be at perfect Re∣conciliation with your Spirits. For this is the considerable matter to have the whole Trinity agreeing to take up, and pitch their Pavilion of Light round about you: Then expect such a change as never yet hath come.
