Being this Night much carried forth
in full Sail of the Spirit of Faith, (which
was the more set afloat from the contra∣dicting
and opposing Spirits, who were
raised as so many Pyrats, that did attempt
to take away our Prize:) after this
manner it was presented to me, that the
most Holy One had built for us, a pas∣sing
Ship, to sail upon the broad Hea∣vens,
to fetch home the rich Cabinet-Treasure,
that is disposable by Wisdom;
she giving out upon every arrival fresh
Lading. Now the Serpent this seeing,
said, If we let them alone in this way of
high and Spiritual Traffick, then they
will come to a mighty Increase. For if
the good and choice things of Mount
Sion, should be brought into this Prin∣ciple,
and the worth of them should
come to be understood, then Babylon's
Wares could not bear that rate that now
they do. Therefore said the blessed
Comforter, Marvel not, that wait is laid,
by that Evil One, who in several Vessels,
as a Man of War, doth strongly stear

to riffle and despoil, what are prohi∣bited,
as unlawful to be brought in, in∣to
this earthly Region. The wise and
learned Rabbies of this Age, do take
Counsel how to prevent the Landing of
these uncustomed Goods, that are not Li∣ce••sed
after the known Traditional Laws.
But at this be ye not terrified, who well
know your Merchandize is good and
valuable: and in its time it shall have
Vent amongst those, who hereunto are
elected. Therefore your goodly Ships,
rigged with Flying Banners of Faith, do
you not fear still to send forth, for Guar∣dian
Hosts of Spiritual Powers shall sur∣round
you. Only this, let your Bow of
Faith abide in strength, and do not give
