AFter this Conference, and satisfying
Resolve, as to the matter of my
doubt. This Word was further spoke
unto me, through the Holy Oracle, that
all those Ceremonial Ornaments, which
the Priests were, 〈…〉〈…〉
were to illustrate and 〈…〉〈…〉
glorious Transfiguration, 〈…〉〈…〉 re∣quired
descriptionPage 16
in that near approach, and mini∣string
Service, in all the Tabernacle-Worship,
wherein we come to bow our
selves before the Most High. Therefore
it was asked me, how I did think it was
possible for to see the glorified Person
of my Jesus, till I had put on the Priest∣ly
Robe of a New Body, he being now
ascended into the most Holy: Waiting
there till the whole Priesthood called
and anointed to be of the same Order
with himself, do enter upon the same
terms; having offered up in Sacrifice, the
vile reproachful Body of the Flesh,
through the same Eternal Spirit, by
which your Jesus offered up his Body vi∣sibly:
as by a violent Death, so yours
by a voluntary, mystical Transformation,
working invisibly. Then what a most
holy Melchizedeck-Spirit will ye pass,
into the Heavenly Place withal, to effect
in the true and eternal Tabernacle: where
the unchangeable Priestood is known in
all the Celestial Orders, for the accom∣plishing
those Superiour Services, requi∣red
in that most Holy Place: In which
the pure Offerings celebrated, will be
no more grievous, nor tedious, because
a Priestly Body is prepared to hallow
descriptionPage 17
and sanctifie incessantly the great Name
of Iehovah, and to proclaim in mighty
Trumpet-sounds to the Ends of the
Earth, that the Kingly Priesthood is
come, with all the Tabernacle-Furni∣ture
revealed: Which hath been con∣cealed
in Mount Sion, only ••••therto
Types and Shadows of it have been ma∣nifested,
but now the real Thing it self
shall be brought to pass in them, who can
hold out the Sanctuary Profession, with∣out
turning aside, or waving, observing,
still their Nazaritical dedication. Then
the new Covenant will be confirmed
upon you, that their will need no more
offering for Sin, for a New Heart with
the Law of the Spirit-written in the
Heart, as there will be no more a depart∣ing
from the Mind of the Anointing.
For by this Fiery Law proceeding, the Law
of Sin within the Members, where ever
stirring, will hereby be consumed. For
it is no more a weak, literal Precept,
that now is given forth, but the very
Law-giver writes and engraves himself,
as an Endless Power of Life, to oblite∣rate
and make void the Law of Sin and
Death, which to no other would ever
have given place. This is the Foundation-Work,
descriptionPage 18
which the Spirit of your Jesus
do first set about, to pull down and de∣molish
that which would be so great an
impedime••t, and check to all this de∣signed
Reformation. Now then let it
be your Joy, when you feel the Spirit of
Burning is dispoiling all of Sin, for that
will perfect all the most holy Priest∣hood.
