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.

May the 20th. 1677.

Then saw I in the Idea of Light, two great Fiery Wheels, with two more less. Which moved by them, that wrought uncessanty: as a Clockwork; having their Spring-motions: and from thence the Chrystalline Substance began to appear. Of which transparency, that which is called Wisdoms Glass is made out. And none ever did, or can see, any part of the Celestial Beauty of Holiness, without this Wheel come in them to be formed. Which was declared to me, to be the creating Power, and energy of God, who produceth those little Wheels to work, act, and move answerable to the great ones. Then it was spoke in me, Behold and see in these Wheels, the whole foundation-work of the New Cre∣ation. For hereout will come that Spi∣rit, who shall appear as a flash of Light∣ning,

that will burn through Flesh and Bones, Rocks and Stones, that will be all at liberty, resting only in habitati∣ons of purity. These lesser Wheels care not to live out of the great Wheels, as the center of their Springing Life: which they will still turn into; for they must all connaturally work, act, and move together. Then was it made out to me, that the two great fiery Wheels was the eternal out-flowing Deity; manifesting it self in the working Wheel: which pre∣sents the clarified Body of Infinite Wis∣dom, which moves always in Light and Fire-celestial; all whose works are wrought through Fire, because of clari∣ty. Then was it further opened, what the two other Wheels were in their pro∣perty. The one was our own Eternal Spirit, as it is come back again to live abstracted out of gross matter and na∣ture. The fourth Wheel is the Chrysta∣line Pure Corporeity, in which this Di∣vine Life-flash will move it self conspicu∣ously. So as now all four will be in∣cessantly in their working power, when Wisdom's Glassy Book shall be found in any one. Which is as a new organical Body, that hath all radical Powers, and

Senses, as a rising Morning without Clouds; being as that Wheel, with Eyes fixed round about them.
