This Morning I was in a very deep
and secret consultation with the holy in∣spiring
Word, concerning this great
Change. For this is but yet known in
us, how that every motion and thought
springs from the mixed heart. But now
great searching thoughts were, how we,
if possible, by any means might attain
to this perfect Heart, which was all clean
within. For it was made equivalent,
that hereby would be the whole over∣turning
of the old Creation; making
way for the new in each one, in working
a through demolishment. For which
this Word of advice was given: Let it
not seem incredible unto you, that the
old Heart shall fall away, though it is as
thy Life-Essence: where that Law is en∣graven,
which hath brought all into per∣dition.
At the release of which a won∣der
descriptionPage 474
working Heart shall be planted in its
place in great renown. Therefore watch
daily hereupon: for believe affuredly, that
this Covenant will be made good, as ye
have Faith to believe, that the old stony
Heart shall be rolled away, which only
hath kept, and would still prevent this
Heart rising far. Where new Laws ac∣cording
to the new frame of things shall
be understood, by such a chosen Priest∣hood,
as all of Spirit shall be compact∣ed:
and by Gods own Heart-strings of
Love, stand everlastingly together
tied as Christ's perfect Spouse and Bride.
Now then hoist up your Sails of Faith,
and keep upon the broad Waters of
Love's deep, that spring from the silent
Desart, till all full Treasures of Joys and
Peace shall upon you meet.
