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.

Iune the 6th. 1677.

This Morning, about four of the Clock, awaking with a raised Mind, ready to entertain discoveries from that invisible Orb, to which my whole Heart tended to; I found my self suddenly carried out of my animal sense, and several idea's did open to me from the Upper Region. I saw in the Firmament of the Heavens Bright Figures, like Half Moons, and great rolling up and down of the Starry Heavens, which seemed to be in a trou∣bled Commotion. Then there were great fears at the sight hereof, among the lower Spirits of this Region. Then I saw somewhat like a Standard set up with a Writing upon it, proclaiming War with all the Inhabitants upon the Earth. And about these I did see Bows and sharp

Arrows; and because I saw this Piller or Standard at a distance, I thought it was, or might not be real: and so I went to it, and touched it with my hand, and read the Writing, which was, Controver∣sie with the Nations of the World. Then after this, I saw the Clouds of Heaven pass away, and various Persons of great Majesty descended down to the place, where the Standard was set, and they appeared, as those that were Judges of the Earth. And two or three of them made towards me, to have spoke with me, and their Presence was terrible, that I shrunk away. For my mean Cor∣poreity was very inconsistent to their Glorious Personalities. And this word followed, This is the Lord, who after this Tribulation will come, with his An∣cients to raign over the Earth.
