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.

December the 24th. 1677.

My Spirit deeply sympathized with one, that was in travel with me, for the Revelation of Christ's Heavenly King∣dom: Who in bindings, and spiritual droughts, & famine passing often through with me, therefore obliged to be fellow-helpers of each other in every Hour of Tryal and Temptation. I besought the Lord, and made enquiry on his behalf, and this Word on his behalf was given in, saying; I have heard the bemoaning of Ephraim, against whom a Confederacy of Spirits have been working, but they shall all be broken as a Potters Vessel, while he in Love and Faith adhereth fearingly to my living Word. Then know, that he the Ephraim may of the Righ∣hand Blessing come through all Tribu∣lations to stand in Victory with the Lamb, upon the Mount of Joy and Liberty. To which dear Lord bring him through all that, which would hold him under, and depress him. Oh that oily Pool,

that can soon the dark stone dissolve, let it rise and spring, that we may find our way made free and clear up unto thee, forever to be conversant in Spirit, with thee all Heavenly One.
