IN and about the middle of the Night, being called out in Prayer, I did feel a mighty throng of Invisible Powers that filled me, so as if I had put on the Immortal Vehicle, for the Sacred Trinity to act in, with Love and Joy-Powers, during sometime upon me with great ravishing Sweets. In the Morning
this Word did me greet, When will you begin to draw out some part of that stock, which you have trusted with him, who is so ready with you to ac∣count? The great and mighty One hath charged himself with a Debt unto you, by all and every act of Faith, which at any time had purely flown out from either, joyning hereunto in one Spirit, as Co-partners in Spiritual things. Then was it further opened unto me, that we had been careless, in that we had neg∣lected in not keeping our Accounts clear, both in relation to the Lord, and to our selves. 1. First as to the Talent and Gift intrusted with us, as a Provision bestow∣ed upon us, from our Father to traffick withal, during such a time, as might bring the intended encrease unto effect. Now the Spirit who keeps the Heavenly Records, said unto me, Search and see, and be well advised, what hath been freely given from your God to you. For you are Debre••s to his Grace for a new Adoption, who hath again begot∣ten you not only to the Hope, but the real Possession of that which belongeth un∣to Children. Though ye have not hi∣therto understood the Royalty of your
own Beings, nor yet the greatness of your Strength and Might. For be as∣sured upon this New Creation score, in which ye now are considered, thereto doth belong Sion's rich Provision. Now then it is but meet, as dear and grate∣ful Children, to keep your Accounts clear, and to charge your selves with so much stock of Life and Spirit, as ye have received. It must be called out for, and nothing of this Treasury must lie idle or useless: but all is still expected upon the encrease, till ye come to be a numerous Seed. 2. In the Second place, said the Spirit, Consider and call over what you have adventured, and returned back into that great City, wherefrom the rich Exchange of Spiritual Goods is to be produced. Know for your great Comfort, that ye have a faithful & able Correspon∣dent in this high and Heavenly Country, that you may fully assure your selves of great gain in Spirituals, according to the kind, of what the high Region doth af∣ford. Which is of that unknown and excellent value, as these Worldly ••••••∣bitants will not care for to purchase, because they have no Judgment of such invisible mystical Treasury. But to you who are only for the Heavenly Merchandize,
more Bills of Store shall yet be given forth. Fear not to make fresh char∣ges upon that great Trustee, who commandeth all in Wisdom's vast Bank. Nothing is more pleasing then to make out what resteth due unto you, upon the Spirit's Births Account. Little have you examined how Matters and Things of this nature, stand betwixt God and you: Who thinks it no Im∣peachment to his Soveraign Greatness, to be endebted unto such, as have re∣turned Lading back again on Faith's bot∣tom. All which hath been committed in trust, with this Charge to traffick with no other; for it would be an Evil to spend your Corn, Wine, and Oyl, upon the fine trimmed Harlot; which yet being so high in Appearance, is more then half divided in the true Love's Property. Therefore be wise for your selves, and scatter not, till ye have reaped and got your own Crop in. Hearken then, and observe this weighty Rule, to carry all this high Spiritual Commerce in the hid∣denness of the Eternal Spirit. There are but few in this professing Age, that do understand the rate of that Precious Stone ye are Adventurers for, with all
those other Celestial Ornaments for to bring in against the Bridal Day; which will not be solemnized with the Lamb, till ye have fetched in all your Eternal Revenue. Therefore be not afraid to urge, and to account with your God, for what the Spirit of Faith hath sent out, for the bringing in that which is of the greatest weight and consideration that hath been known, since the World of Creatures hath been existing.
