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

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

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,

which the Spirit of your Jesus do first set about, to pull down and de∣molish that which would be so great an impedimet, 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.
