Dear and much esteemed,
MY Father hath unbosomed such a glory to me, since I saw you last; that I can∣not but admire at it; it was as I was walking alone, the power of my Father was seen in an exceeding glory, so that I could not tell how to contain it, my veile was too nar∣row to receive it; I have had many discove∣ries of glory since, and have been in many fires, and burnt very sweetly, and consum'd
very joyfull: I desire to live as well in Hell as in Heaven; and the greater Hell, the greater Heaven: I rejoyce exceedingly in the everlast∣ing burnings: one breath of my Father makes both Heaven and Hell; but this is that my Father hath written in my heart, that e∣verlasting deliverance is at hand; but first, the Lord will cover the Earth with darknesse, and with grosse darknesse the people, and such black clouds of darknes will our Father cloath him∣self with: that none but those that see with the eye of the Lord, shall be able to see him in the thick darknes: The smoak of the Beast ascends out of the bottomlesse pit, and wrath from the Almighty is upon her; and I cannot but rejoyce and sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, all praise be given to him that sits on the thron for ever; and when you see these things done, then lift up your heads, the day of your re∣demption is at hand; I see them performed, I see them finished and brought forth into power, and I rejoyce in the work of the Lord. I see the restored estate of our bringing forth with mighty power; that wee shall see all things good, that the Saints shall know no evill; for my part I know no evill, I see all things good; I know nothing but good in all the world; the Lord doth all things well,
whether in Earth or in Heaven, and that that hath swallowed us up, we are now swallow∣ing it up; I am swallowing Death, Hell, and the Grave up; that now I am able to play with Satan; He is but a Reed in my hands. I have been really cloathed upon, and morta∣lity swallowed up into life; and when this glory comes forth, it will judge the world, and silence them; our glory is their torment, and our Heaven is their Hell: Thus I have given you an account of the present discoveries of my Father, and rest in your heart,
••. Clem.
