God had permitted her, though a Lamb of Christ's Fold, to be sifted and tryed through the opening of a Center, from whence Spirits did strong∣ly thus prophecy, as to the time and manner, and did upon her Spirit impress the time, and so deceived her herein. The Lord restore her, and give her a more distinct discerning of Spirits, from the several Centers, from which Sounds and Voices do proceed. The Kingdom of Love, cryed the Voice in me, is that which will open, and be strong to prevail. Even that Ministration of Love shedding abroad by the Holy Ghost, is to drown and quench the Wrath; and Angels that are strong and powerful in the Compas∣sionate Love, the Lamb of God will raise up, to be eminent for trust, in the agitating and managing of the great Spiritual Affairs, belonging to his Priest∣ly Kingdom: that is, upon its revealing to be more visible, and shall mightily prosper in the hand of such, who are the pure and meek of the Earth. Who thereby do open the Love-Center, whereout the Unction of Prophecy, and true Revela∣tion do's infallibly proceed for their direction.
