The last Vision of the Star explained.
This sweet Manifestation, this di∣vine
Opening or Vision was granted to
me to view, that so the end, why it did
appear, might be known. First it was
shewed me, that as the Wise Men ••••d see
in order to the Birth of Christ in the
descriptionPage 304
Flesh, his Star rise, and go before
them, till they came to Ierusalem; even
so this Star did in its rising signifie the
mighty Birth of the Spirit, which would
open through the womb of the earthly
property. Where the Spirit hath been
long 〈◊〉〈◊〉, ••••d its Glory clouded as in
the dark gross Body of sensual Corporie∣ty;
but it will verily work it self through.
And the more wise and excellent in Spirit
shall first see it, and feel its rising effects
upon themselves, as their Birth-Star.
Which shall multiply unto the seventh
Number: which only qualifies to stand
within the Circle Throne of the Most
Holy. The seven Stars which are men∣tioned
to be held in the hand of Jesus,
your mighty Prince of Peace, are to be
distributed as the Badge, or Inscription,
of such as shall be so perfected for a free
pass into the Jerusalem-glory; there to
be in Oneness with him, without rob∣bery
to their Kingly Priest, in all his
Thronely Principality: and to be added
to the enrolled numbers of the Ancients,
which are come to be Victorious over
the World, through great Tribulation.
So ye will be followers of him, through
this Rising Star.
