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.

The Interpretation.

Some Days after I did further enquire into the more full meaning of this Visi∣on, why such should so conspire against my solitary reserved Life: but especially that one, who was in my Eye of more value, because of a known Life of Truth, and Integrity? I found this written up∣on my Heart, Their Eyes must for a while be with-held; they will not you know, till ye can get the new Name engraven, as of pretious Stones upon your Fore∣head. For it was secretly whispered to my Spirit, that in some there might be a refined and spiritual Emulation, as in o∣thers a more Gross and Sensual. Both of which I had councel, and caution, how to walk with; so as no occasion, of stum∣bling might be given justly to the gain∣saying Spirits: Whose pryings were to see how we would walk, while in the Wilderness state. Out of which we were not to come, till our beloved Lord should bring us forth, as in another form; wherein me might be known as those, who are to live in another Sphere,

where neither the hissing Serpent, or bi∣ting Adder will adventure to appear in that High-way, where nothing which is unclean can pass. It is only for those, who have held out the Wilderness pro∣bation; waiting in Faith, Love, and Pa∣tience, till the jubilee Year. In which the Ransomed shall go forth, out of their so∣litary Place into the New Sharon: where the Glory and Excellency of their God, as a circling Saphir-bow will be for their Defence.
