November the 24th. 1677.
This Morning after much sweet Com∣munion
had in a Contemplative way with
him, who is invisible, I saw of a suddain
a Rock fashioned out like an Arch,
whereinto a way was made to pass, and
it was pretty spacious. At the first it
descriptionPage 475
seemed to be somewhat dark, which
made me fear to enter in: but presently
a Table was there, upon which was a
blazing Light, and it then became all shining
and exceeding lustrous to invite in∣to
it. But about the Light, there did
appear a company of dark coloured
Flyes, which fl••ttered so about it, as
that they would have obscured the
Light: but as they came up to it, they
were consumed by it. So considering
these divine Idea's, the Word came, say∣ing,
Enter ye hereinto, whom the sacred
Vow of Separation is upon. For here
is a Munition-Rock for your Security.
Oh that here you may be hid, and hope,
and quietly wait for the Birth of the
pure and perfect Heart. In which ye
shall see the Face of God, whose Voice
may be frequently heard in this secret
place, therefore Love here to abide: for
here is the Heavenly stillness.
