off the earth self-love shal cease and universal love shall flow in and then righteousness shal look down from heaven and spring out of the earth and there will be no complaining in our streets as there is now crying out for bread bread for the Lords sake no but this noise shall cease and the saying of James come more into their minds that they shall now not think it enough to say be ye warmed and so give the poor nothing but only pitty them and feed them with words but they shal now say come in eat and drink with us for you are the work of the Lord and what we have now you may freely take for the Lord of host hath now made bare his holy armes and all the earth shall see the salvation of God and all shall now know and see that the Lord hath redeemed the creation from bondage into the liberty of the sons of God all men shall be freed from the Bondage and slavery they now are under and shall now begin to see and know that it is a sin to have respect to one in glorious apparel and say pray Sir come you and sit up here when you say to one in poor cloathes sit thou at our foot stool for I the Lord of host will make you all know now that you are all of one blood and so are all now fellow creatures and that I have as much respect to one in poor cloths as to one in gay ones and that I will make you know that it s your duty for to love one another even your enemies for if you fulfil the royal law according to Scripture thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self which is not for the present who art thou that hath fulfilled this Scripture that can say and thy conscience not accuse thee to thy face that thou doth love thy neighbor as thy self but rather thy conscience will tel thee that thou dost not love thy neighbor as thy self for if thou didst thou wouldst not let thy neighbour be in want but would have as much care of him as thy self if thou hast rost-meat to let him have rost-meat and in so doing thou will fulfil this Scripture therefore yea that do plead for Scripture so much and make so gallant a show of religion as you do consider the Scriptures aforementioned and you shall see that you live far short of fulfilling the Scripture for what soever you would that men should do unto you even so do thou unto them for this is the Law and the Prophets wouldst thou have men to love you and do you good if thou wouldst then thou must love them and do them good but indeed you will say why should I love them they are of a strange opinion this is but the Devil in you for hating your fellow creatures which must be destroyed and brought to nothing that I the Lord of host may be exalted which will not be till I make my strange work come to pass as to destroy all self and private intrest of saying this is mine and when this is done then you will love your neighbour as your self and then you shall see and know with the Apostle that all things are lawful for you that is as the Apostle knew that he might do what he would do and have what creatures he would have for food and rayment in that they are all gods so you shall now know that you may have the use of all and see all to be yours and that this is the work of God for to bring in universall love and freedome And the Lord said behold behold what dost thou see loe I beheld and there appeared a tree full of fruit and the fruit much like to apples one part of them and the other part of them like unto peares and I said Lord what meaneth this tree and the Lord said this tree doth represent Christ that as thou seest fruit upon this tree and it is very pleasant to see to even so is Jesus Christ a tree of life that bears abundance of fruit and as thou sawest these men and women gather this fruit and eat them and presently there was new fruit in the room of that which was pulled off These men and women re-present my sons and daughters who are alwayes a feeding on Jesus Christ and yet cannot make him to leave off bearing fruit and as thou sawest that these men and women that pulled and ate did live for ever and were not to dy after it doth shew that my sons and daughters feeding on me the Lord of host shall live for ever for as thou sawest that this food was very pleasant even so am I the Lord of host to those that do delight in me And moreover this tree doth set forth the tree that is spoken of in the Revelations to be a tree of life that shall heal the nations for as thou did see this tree appear of a sudden with fruit thereon even so will I the Lord of life that lives for evermore appear in such an hour and at such a time when most men little think of me to the destruction of them and bringing of them to nothing that so I may appear to be the life of those that do now know me and enjoy me for by my appearing will I make my self manifest to be the food that every one must eat of and that all other food which is not of me must be brought to nothing for as I am set forth by a tree so will I appear in power to the confounding of those that feed not on me and so will make wast all their gods which they have to feed upon besides me and all and every one shall be brought to nothing that I the Lord of host may be all and in all and so exalted above all to which I say amen And presently after this there appeared a garden full of flowers as to my thinking I saw them like roses of all sorts and cornations pinks and all manner of flowers and I said Lord what doth these mean and the Lord said these do represent abundance of joy even the verities of joys which my sons and daughters shall have even they shall enjoy the most precious and most pleasant jewells that are or can be for they shall have the use of all things that are precious and shall have the enjoyment of all the treasurs of the world and nothing shall be unpleasant to them but every thing shall give a good smell and shall be very pleasant to them making of them to rejoyce and sing and set forth the praise of me the Lord of host for as these flowers did smel most sweetly even so saith the Lord of host will I by my own power make all things that appear now to be unsavory or unpleasant to give a most pleasant smell and as thou didst see in this garden abundance of green herbes these green herbes doth set forth the flourishing conditions of my Saints
also make such a work in all the earth that oppression shal cease amongst them even those that are not brought into my love and favour shal live and be quiet one with the other and shal have all things common but for my Saints which have right to the tree of life and so enter in through the gates into the citty shal not be twain but shal be all one both of one heart and one minde for I the Lord of host wil preach to them and they shal hear me preach and shal learn knowof me even so much that they shal see and know that they possess all things and enjoy all things and so have all things at command for this tree of life is my self which if a man eats of he shall live for ever and also this tree of life is in the City which City may be taken two waies either mystical or literal mystically the Saints makes one City literally it is the Jerusalem where my sons and daughters shal be gathered together the gates of this City is my power which all must be indued with before they can enter into it for the tree of life is my self which will be there for ever keeping of them my sons and daughters alwaies in a continual supply so that they shal have no want of anything but the riches of the Gentils shal be brought into this City even into this new Ierusalem whose children shal be all righteous and nothing but righteousness shal dwel there nothing but the pure chosen vessels of my love shal be there even with singing dancing shal they come thither and leaping for joy for the Lord hath founded Sion and the poor of the people shal trust in it O Sion shout shout and sing for joy for all people shall tremble and quake for fear of thee even for fear of thy most excellent King I the mighty Iehovah that dwels in thee and I wil make thee to be famous and thee to be desired far among all people this word shout shewes abundance of joy joy unspeakable in thee shout and be glad nothing but rejoyce and sing let sorrow and sighing and whatsoever hath formerly troubled thee be now turned into joy and gladness I tel thee that thou shalt be made the praise of the whole earth even thou O Sion that hath bin scattered and driven into all nations here and there one but now I have founded Sion even thee O Sion wherein I do delight to dwel and will bring thee into my own place even into a Canaan of rest from all thy hateful enemies so that thou shalt no longer be here and thereon no but I wil bring you all together both Iews and Gentiles and I wil make you to be both one rejoycing in you and wil be married to you and you shal be my spouse and my wife who shal alwaies be feeding on the tree of life and so I wil make you live for ever for all my joy and delight shal be in you and I wil be your tower and rock and wals and salvation for you and in that day you shal say we have a strong City salvation will God appoint for wals and bullwarks even a free universal liberty from all sorts of enemies both within and without and nothing but joy and love all being knit together in love rejoycing in love heaving so strong a City and all manner of precious things being there even such a City and place for delight that there shal be none like it in the world for nothing but joy wil I give you and wil make you for to rejoyce in me your King of glory and you shal be as so many Kings and Princes that shal reigne here on earth every one of you no less then a King that shal have all nations in subjection to you by my mighty power which I wil manifest in you I wil make you to break the nations in peices like potters vessels even into shivers shalt thou dash all thine enemies whether they be Turk or Pope or any other Countries for all shal become as weak as water I in the midst of you wil shew my self to be strong and powerful even so strong that I wil make all nations to be silent and sit stil and let you alone and instead of making wars against you they shall beat their swords and spears and their weapons of war into pruning hooks and the nations shall not learn war any more but I wil make them say come let us go up to Sion and they will teach us their waies O what a bundance of glory wil I give unto thee O Sion that nations far and near shal come up to thee to be taught of thee and indeed they shall have great need for I wil empty all other teachings of men and all shal be barren so that there shal be no perfect rest but to those that come to Sion where I the Lord of host wil be the a lone teacher and wil make them all to know me even from the least to the greatest not only know me and cal me God because of my power being seen in that I have made the heavens and the earth for this knowledge of me all men have yet they are ignorant of what I am which my people that dwel in Sion shal know they shal see me in my glory and know me what and where I be they shal see me every where and know that I am in every thing and that the whole world is but a garment to cover me from the visible sight of men and thus wil I appear in my people gathering them together where I wil manifest my self unto them and raise them from the dead even all Israel from this death of sin and corcuption and wil make them to be partakers of the second resurrection on which the first death shall have no power and so all Israel even the whole house of Israel shal be gathered together in righteousness and in truth and they shal glory and rejoyce in me even in mount Sion yea even the place where my son Jesus was transfigured and changed so that his raiment became white and glistering and the two Apostles seeing of him in this condition said it is good to be here for the glory that was seen there which was but a resemblance of my gathering my people to Sion and so making them to be as one and when I had so gathered them together in the last daies there to make my glory shine in a more lustrious and glorious manner then ever I did when my son Jesus was on the earth for his being transfigured and shining so bright shews forth abundance of light and glory that shal be manifested to you now in these last daies for as soon as he was in garments that were white and glistering it shewes that I wil appear to be a light and a more excellent light to you then yet I have bin for the glory was so great
things besides my self so that I wil make my Saints to shine as stars in the Firmament by my bright appearing in them for I the day star being risen in their hearts wil occasion all darkness to vanish away and will make them shine so gloriously by giving them a new name which none shall know but them that have it for I wil make up my Jevvels in that day and wil make them to shine illustriously that I wil make the wicked acknowledge of a truth that God even the eternal God dwels in them and wil now be worshipped in spirit and in truth without forms and rules and ways which hath already been but by my teaching in them I wil make them to give up themselves to me and so to rejoyce in me more then ever they have done as yet I wil fil them with my spirit for I being of as great power as I was of old so that they shall now see and know with cleerness and speak as the spirit moves them and talk as I act in them even in such a sure way as my servants the prophets did of old for my hands are not yet shortned but can do such a work stil as to make my Saints no longer doubt and question what they say but shal surely say the Lord speaketh thus and so shal speake infallible once again and not to doubt as they do now and have formerly for I wil now open that mystery that hath been sealed up with seven seals as a token of darkness yea perfect darkness which mystery wil be opened now the seven last trumpets sound and the last Vial is now a pouring forth which mystery is only God appearing to All in all and I the God even the eternal King taking my power my self as to make all become subject to me and not to formes and so to make my self known that I dwel in men and so wil preach in men and wil cause other preaching which hath been in my offence to cease and I alone wil preach and speak to men and wil tel them this is the way walke in it when they turn to the right hand or to the left hand when they are going astray from me then I wil speak to them for to make them come in the way which I would have them to walke in which if rightly considered wil make my sons and daughters greatly for to rejoice to see their God eie to eie or to hear him speak in them it wil save abundance of trouble as it wil make them leave off runing after broken cisterns that can hold no water and also from runing from mountain to hil and so finding no resting place O saints here is a resting place for you leave off gadding abroad and runing after other lovers for I am your rest and your dwelling and be silent and sit stil and I wil speak in you yea even I wil speak peace to you and no good thing I will withhold from you and I wil shew you where I make my flock to rest and ly down at noon days and where I lead them to the lively fountain of living waters O this place of rest and place where I make my flock to rest is for to bring them up in to me and then they shal finde a Canaan a rest indeed and a river of living water which shal never be drie but alwaies flowing forth with life and nourishing joy and comfort to you that are thus brought up from all creatures and so only wait for the speakings of me the Lord host in you which I wil surely do to the abundance satisfaction of your soules and you shal hear of it and so shal ly down in â—…est when others shal go about to seek rest by outward objects and shal finde none or by looking after outward things and none shal come And I saw a vision wherein is shewed that there shal be gathered out of this land a people that shal go to Jerusalem and also the Iewes that are dispersed in all nations shal be gathered together to go with them and also a remnant of people out of all lands that shal go to Ierusalem that so the saying of the prophet might be fulfilled that all nations shal go and worship at Jerusalem the vision is as followeth There did appear a pair of scales and within each seale a weight one of them being a great deal bigger then the other and it was to me like lead and the other being a little one and like unto silver was too light for the other for a while and so the great one weighed it up and held it for a while up but at length the scales turned and the little weight weighed up the great weight and the great weight fel to the earth and was no more And I beheld that out of this little weight there came men and women and I said Lord what meaneth this scale and the hand that holds them up and the weights in them and my God even the eternal King of glory said the scales signifie the earth in whole the material frame of heaven and of earth and the hand by which the scales were held is shown my power by which I have erected them and so doth stil hold them up from falling down the weights signifie two peoples or two powers the wicked and the Godly or the earthly powers or my power by the great weight is set forth the earthly powers and also wicked men which have had powers and have ruled over my sons and daughters a great while as was shewed thee by weighing up the little weight and so have kept my people in bondage and slavery to one thing or other as to the rudiments of this world and traditions of men but as the scale turned it shewes a turning of things upside down and as the little weight waighed the great one up for as much as by the little one is meant my sons and daughters and made the great one fall to the earth and so to be no longer is shown a destruction of those thieves that were and that which were not is now to come to pass as the powers of the earth and wicked men have ruled over my Saints the time is now come they shal do so no longer but must become subject to my people for the kingdomes of the world shal I now give to my saints and they shal possess them for ever and all the might and majesty and glory and strength of men shal be nothing in my sight for I wil bring down the proud and haughty looks of men and wil lay them low even to the dust that they may no longer be for I will now stain all the pride and glory of man and make man appear to be but dust and of no strength that I the Lord of host may be exalted and so become all the povver and strength of men And whereas thou didst see men women come out of the little weight
be on the contrary shine hold forth the glory of me your creator and redeemer who have ransomed you from the hands of them that were stronger then you shine and let my glory be seen upon you for they shal be afraid of you that hate you shine ye therefore and be like so many stars that shines in the Firmament and glister like so many as the only people that are redeemed from death to light for thy light is come I am your life and light and by being absent from you your condition was a condition of death and darkness and you were compassed about with abundance of sorrow by being scattered abroad in the world but I who am your life and light even I the mighty God of Jacob am now risen to bring you into your own country even together ö daughter of Sion shout and rejoyce and cry aloud Sing and make merry and be glad in your King who am now Risen with mighty power for to bring you into your own land therefore rejoyce and sing for thy light is come Sion that vvas scattered abroad but now shal be gathered into your own country even into Judea for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you even my glory is risen upon thee for to bring thee out of a strange country and as Pilgrims and sojourners into your country there for to make my glory and light shine and rest upon thee for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even upon thee ö captive daughter of Sion for to make you see and know that I have purposed to bring you into your own country once again and there to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the earth to see and know my power by which I do things saith I the Lord of host who hath caused my glory for to arise upon thee for you have now a more surer word of prophesie to which you do well to take heed as to a light that shineth in a darke place until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts this was given to the church in that age who was to observe the word of the Apostles then and at that time they being but babes and children so had a rule for to walk by which rule the Apostle bids them take heed unto that they walke by it for how long even saith the same Apostle until the day break until there be some further appearance of light a more glorious dispensation then now is and the day star in your harts that is until you do see know God dwelling in you and so do see know Christ who is the bright and morning star to be one with the Father Son holy Ghost but one God dwelling in you who is your life and strength and so to see this God in love to be your All and in all and the very life of all things til then you being weake have had need of a writen rule to walke by but now you have no longer need of any thing to walk by no not the Scripture to walk by for I even your King and Lord wil be unto you Scripture and Law and rule and ways and formes of worships yea I wil be all arise and shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even my glory shall now shine upon thee for to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the joy of all the nations arise and shine for behold darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people arise shine your condition wil and shal be happy saith I the Lord of host who hath made my glory to shine upon you even upon you ö Sion whom I wil gather into Judea from amongst other people but I wil tel you one thing even you whom I do gather up into Judea for behold this darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people even when you shal see light and walk in light and have light to be your guide and have my glory shining upon you even then shal others the earth be covered with darkness for there shal be no clear light and sun shining upon the earth even upon those that come not up to worship me the Lord of host in Jerusalem but instead of light there shal be darkness and instead of breaking forth of light there shal be a mist and a cloud that shal overspread it self for a while so that they that go not up to Jerusalem shal not have that clear light neither shal they see and know that glory which I wil and shal make out to you ö Sion for you ö Sion shal eat and drink and be ful and have the bread of life and water of life when they that come not up shal be in want and shal be hungry when Sion shal be ful for I wil take away all their food even their formes and wayes of worship and wil utterly destroy them and bring them to nothing for these things as forms of worship have they had some comfort in using them but I wil leave these dispensations wherein I have formerly appeared and wil make darkness cover the earth in this sence for I wil deprive them of all their formes and Church governments for I wil forsake them and they shal receive no benefit by them even darkness shal cover them that they shal not see light in them even gross darkness even such a darkness wil and shal light upon poor creatures that walke by forms and so think to be carried to heaven upon the sholders of their Priests but darkness yea such darkness that both Priest and people shal be amased for they shal be driven out of their common-road and so shal be forced to seek a new way even this darkness shal light upon those that are malicious and ful of envy and so would of a sudden destroy their fellow creatures darkness wil and shal overcome such for though they preach and pray yet al wil not save them but that they must be destroyed and brought to nothing for saith the Lord of host darkness shall cover the earth there wil be no clear sight of God and no clear sight of my way for they shal not come to my knowledge and so to the enjoyment of me here or in any place but where Sion shal be gathered together even my people whom I have raised from the dead and so wil bring them up to Sion at Ierusalem the City where formerly I dwelt which is in Judea and there I wil make them shine and be the glory of the whole earth and after this first resurrection that they shal have for to be raised from a condition of death and slavery into a condition of joy and life where the Second death shal have no power over them for this is the resurrection wherein I wil set you free from all death and you shal dy no more for I wil be your life and you
The POURING FORTH OF THE Seventh and Last VIALL VPON ALL FLESH AND FLESHLINES Which will be a Terror to the Men that have Great POSSESSIONS OR Several Visions which hath bin made out to me of what the All of all things is now bringing to pass that so the root of al malice strife hatred and war may be digged up and the only way for universal love and freedom to all sorts of people to be brought in but in a more especial manner and higher and most glorious discovery of God to his peculiar people whom the All of all things will make the PRAISE of the Whole EARTH ISAIAH 28. 21 22. and 43. 18 19. For the Lord shall rise up in mount Perazim he shall be wroth as in the Valley of Gibeon that he may do his work his strange work and bring to pass his act his strange act Now therefore be ye not mockers lest your bands be made strong for I have heard from the Lord of host a consumption determined upon the whole Earth Remember ye not former things neither consider the things of old Behold I will do a new thing and now it shall spring forth GEORGE FOSTER or otherwise JACOB ISRAEL Printed in the Yeer MDCL The Epistle to the Reader MY dear hearts all and everyone of you whether high or low rich or poor bond or free I am a creature and one of your fellow-Creatures forced to send unto you a smal mite which I have had through the speakings of my infinite father in me which speakings in me have bin so burning hot and so powerful that I have not bin able to resist as for to keep them in secret they being things which in this treatise I treat of I have seen them as being taken in a trance and lying for dead about 22 houres for the most part of them which in this following discourse I had made out to me being in that condition and assoon as I had seen and heard of them and they were over so that I had no other at that time I was forced to write them it being the good pleasure of my father for to make choice of me so poor and and unable a dispised instrument for to reveal and make known such things as shal surely come to pass as concerning the Levelling of that which men for the present call their own and so hord up riches and treasures here on earth for to make themselves great and to be applauded of men forgetting the exhortation of Jesus Christ who bid them lay up treasures in heaven and not here on earth for the laying up treasures here on earth Christ said the rust would take it which the Apostle James saies plainly to such men that have horded up gold and silver even the very rust of it will rise up in judgement against them looke to your selves here is the last vial to be poured forth made mention of for to give you warning of your selves for behold the day of the Lord is at hand he is coming to take vengeance on all his enemies and for to confound you all that have bundance of treasures here on earth and have laid up none in heaven nay it seems to be an unpossible thing for a rich man to go into the kingdome of heaven for saith Jesus Christ it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of an needle then for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven O you rich men what say you to these words do you think to go to heaven when the rust of your silver wil rise up in judgement against you you had more need throw away your riches here and give them to the poor that the crying of the poor might no longer come into my ear saith the Lord for their sakes do I come to take vengeance on such hypocrites as you are because you have formes of Godlyness but deny the power thereof you would fain appear to be holy but yet you would be loth to part from that which is the greatest enemie of you as the Apostle saies men coveting after riches have erred from the faith and so have peirced themselves through many sorrows but that this may no longer trouble you and keep you from coming to me I will shew my self for the poors sake when you through the hardness of your hearts have rather seen them starve for want of food then give them a peice of bread yea though they cry for the Lord sake give me a peice of bread when as all things are the Lords and the Lord comes he comes what to do he comes to bring down the pride and haughty lookes of men what pride and haughty lookes even such pride and haughty looks that scorne their fellow-creatures even that must be brought down even all their glory and honour too even that glory wherein you have gloried and boasted your selves as because of your riches you have thought your selves better then others and must have your fellow-creatures in bondage to you and they must serve you as to work for you and moyl and toyle for you standing cap in hand to you and must not displease you no by no meanes but alas what are you now I come saith the Lord for I tell you that the Lord of host comes with fire and sword for to bring down your pride and your glory and honour and all these things that you have lifted up your selves with have thought your selves better then the rest I say he comes to plague you torment you and so to make you weary of your idols which you have made to your selves for I must tell thee and it wil prove very true that the mighty God of Jacob is at hand and will come of a sudden when thou art not a ware of even that mighty Leveller for to Levell and lay mountaines and hils low even you that are richer and greater then your fellow creatures even as low as my may be and so will make all equal with the plaines for it is but just for him to do so seeing thou fat swine of the earth whatsoever thou hast is not thine own but it is all the Lords and though it hath bin his pleasure for to bestow riches on thee and so have let you usurpe authority over them yet now the Lords is at hand that he will call you to an account and finding you to be unjust stewards he will put you out of your stewardship and then you must no longer usurpe but shal be glad to be fellows with them whom now yee dispise hate and cannot abide to let them be in your sight though this may seem strange to you and you will not believe it yet it is the Lords pleasure that I should send it forth to the publick view there being some that will consider these things before hand so be made for to go before in this manner as to count nothing their own and this they do with joy when you
people now come with singing and with rejoycing because I have opened their eies and have taken out their stony hearts and have given them hearts of flesh even such hearts as they shall no longer denie that Jesus their Saviour is come but shall confess that he is come and that they have crucified him and so shall see that I have caused them to be in such a condition as they are now in for it was my good pleasure that it should be so but now will I rise and will show my power for to redeem them from this Egyptian bondage they are now in even as I did appear for their fathers of old and did bring them from the land of Egypt by my mightie and strong hand by my servant Moses whom I did stir up for that purpose even so will I make my power seen in all nations by stiring my servants up and also by sending them a leader for to lead them as my sons of old had and as all Kings and great men fell that opposed them even so will I make all for to fall and perish and become as weak as water that so I may bring you into your own land again and all those that hinder you or rise in armes against you shall be drowned in my wrath and sore displeasure even as Pharoah of old was drowned in the red sea so I will set me glory and honour and will make you appear to be Kings and Conquerours through me that love you and so wil bring you into your one land with joy and gladness and there will make you for to ly down in peace and to be at rest when I will torment and trouble all nations that have fought against you and they shall weep and houl and cry out for sorrow of heart but I will make you my Chosen ones and also them whom I wil bring up with you and have called them by my name to come and go up to the height of Sion with everlasting songs singing and rejoycing with abundance of joy in that I have created Jerusalem a joy and her people a rejoycing for I will make a new Heaven and a new earth wherein righteousness shall dwell for I wil make desolation and wil destroy all things that are now at the present and so will make all things new new in respect that I have gathered you out of all countries and have once again brought you into your own land for to make you the joy and the praise of the whole earth and the place and land where I wil in glory delight to dwel and so wil make all your enemies come bowing and bending and submit unto that hath and wil stil bring you in the everlasting joy where all is joy and all shal be joy and peace so that they shal bring even your enemies their treasurs and riches and the fullness of the gentils shall be brought in rejoyce and sing and shout O ye daughters of Jerusalem for behold I will come and will take all sorrow from you and ye shall see evill no more and I will make all your enemies your foot-stool and all evil shal cease from amongst you and I will make the dayes of your mourning to end and so will make everlasting joy to shew it self and you shal sorrow no more behold I come even I that wil save you from all sorrow and from the cruelty of men and wil make bare my holy arm and all the nations shall see the salvation of God even all people shal see and know that I have redeemed you and saved you and have gathered you from among the heathen and have brought you into your own land there for to make you the praise of the whole earth and all the glory of nations shall be brought into it even into that City where nothing but righteousness shall dwell and all dogs and sorcerers and whosoever they be that have not right to the tree of life shal not enter into this City even into this new Jerusalem which shall be made the praise of the whole earth for this Jerusalem consisteth of all the sons and daughters of Sion who shall be brought out of all countries and out of all nations into this land which I have chosen for to make my self a glorious name and so to make my name a terror and a dread to all that come not into this City for without are none but forcerers and such as makes a ly as dogs and such filthy creatures for dogs are a most beastly creature and seem to be a creature good for little even here such as are to be left out are compared to dogs for all dogs are cruel and envious and are ready to destroy themselves by fighting one with another and also their condition is they alwayes are grumbling and snapping one at another as striving for mastery so are these people that are to be left out of this City a people who have given themselves over to rule and domineere over their fellow-creatures and would have all in subjection to them and they would be lords and so would have their fellow-creatures in bondage to them and keep them as servants and bond-men even for to work and labour for them when they themselves have all the joy and pleasure but now even upon such dogs that have risen from Cain and Nimrod the mighty hunter that have hunted and also have catch their fellow-creatures in their snare and so Esau-like would have all in subjection to them even upon such shall my hand fall very heavy as for to plague them and so to punish them that I may make them know that my time is now at hand for to give redemption to my creatures especially to my sons and daughters whom ye Esaus and great men have kept in bondage and slavery and so to make them a joy and rejoicing singing for joy and gladnes of heart where ye Esaus brood that have a long time raigned over them shall be trodden as straw under foot and be fit for nothing but to be left without even without my joy and love because of your sorceries because of your estrangness from me counting all your pleasurs and happines to be in things here below even in outward substance treasuring up gold and silver which hath bewitched you from the truth and would not let you hear that the best and cheifest commandement is for to sell and give to the poor but when this hath buzzed in your eares and your own conscience accusing you for it you have like the young man in the Gospel as you call it which fain would go to heaven and so have rest but loth to fulfil our Saviours command sell that which thou hast and give to the poor and so thou shalt have treasure in heaven as if my son Christ had said do not you think that by observing a little outward way of worship and so walking on in formes and making an outward profession of religion having a
the outvvard court to be trodden under foot even al forms rules and vvorships and governments of men vvhich they have set up to be consumed and destroyed and brought to nothing and so I alone to be al in al vvhen I doth this it shal surely come to pass even then shal the poor creatures be in darkness and not able to see light by reason of my withdrawing my self to my own place and dispensation even into my Iudea there for to make my light shine there to appear gloriously in and amongst my Saints whom all shal acknowledge that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed therefore my drawing my self into this peculiar place for to make my self glorious and so to make my name in far greater esteem by all sorts of men then now it is I wil make my light shine in a far more greater and glorious manner then now it doth for I wil be the praise of the whole earth I dwelling in my people and my people dwelling in me and I will measure the inward court even my Temple wherein all flesh and fleshlyness shal cease and be no more and I alone wil appear to be King and the only ruler and so wil cause my light to shine upon them when darkness shal cover the earth which darkness and gross darkness shal be by reason of my not shining in the world for all people shal be left in darkness and not in light that come not up to the place of rest where I wil cause my people for to ly down in peace and so to be at rest and so to be quiet and be in peace When nothing but sorrow and pricks of conscience shal accompany those that go not up to Jerusalem for that must be built in glory again set on her foundation so this manifestation of God not appearing to the creature shal be hel the lake of fire wherein the wicked and all witches must be tormented and â—his hel wil be in every place where I do not appear in love to the creature for wherein I do appear in love there shal be joy peace no sorrow and where I do not appear in love there shal be nothing but hel for hel shal be in this world even in these bodyes shal men be tormented even by being cast out and not suffered to enter into the city where nothing but peace shal be but dogs and sorcerers shal be without even they shal be in hel until the restitution of all things come that there shal be no more divel nor hel which wil be for all the divel and hel and all witches shal cease then even in the year 7000. for that shal be a year of Jubilee to all sorts of people when all sorts then shal be brought into my love and favour and shal so remaine and they shal dy even men shal dy as formerly they used to do that go not up to Jerusalem even they shal dy and be subject to change until the time comes that they shal dy no more but my people shal hear the sound of the Arch-Angel and they being dead in Christ shal be raised up to meet the Lord in the ayre even from that death they are for the present subject to and so shal even in a moment at the founding of the last trumpet be changed in a moment even in the twinkling of an eye and so shal be raised up from death into life and from sorrow unto joy and happiness and so shal be ever with the Lord of host and so shal dy no more but live for ever and all the Saints shal come with I the Lord of host even to be glorified and so to receive what bodies it shal please I their King to give them there for it is true that my sons and daughters shal be brought to be glorified and shal have bodies given them though not the same bodies of clay as formerly they had even they shal beraised up to live reign for evermore even my Saints as the Saints formerly were raised out of the graves and walked up and down so shal my Saints be now raised up to be at Ierusalem in glory for the Jerusalem is the place which I have chosen for to make my name glorious and the place of my Saints heaven for though people talk of heaven above there is none heaven above is my self drawing my Saints into my fulness then I bring them into my third heaven which is my highest dispensation and the highest discovery of my love to them and this heaven shal be here on earth even at Jerusalem and the place about Jerusalem where I wil appoint my Sons and Daughters to be and this shal be their heaven they shal live in the ful enjoyment of I the Lord Almighty and they shal see all former things to be passed away and all things become new and they shal live in pure love and in the full enjoyment of I the Lord of host who hath made them holy whom I wil alwaies cause to rejoyce and sing and leap for joy of heart because former troubles are passed away and all are now become new and all things shal be new for the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints and the Lord will raign in mount Sion for evermore even I the mighty God of Jacob wil raign for ever over my people and over my enemies and all shal become subject to me But the Lord shal arise upon thee and his glory shal be seen upon thee when nothing but darkness shal be in the earth and in the outward court though there be nothing else in the earth but darkness such darkness as men earthly men shal have no comfort at all in all their outward formes and waies of worships which is the outward court and is not to be measured at all but is to be left to be trodden under foot as that which shal come to nothing and as a thing of no account by Aliens and Gentils even by such as know not me the Lord But as for my sons and daughters whom I have made choice of so wil bring them into Judea there to make my glory to be seen amongst them then shal they see that I am risen upon them and so consequently they are the inward court which is to be measured and so to be made much of even that new man Christ the anointed that is in them shal increase and grow so strong in every kind or degree that their old man Adam shal be destroyed and quite brought to nothing and then in these I mean the Jews and Gentiles which shal be gathered into Iudea the Land of promise where my glory shal be seen and made to appear to all the world and the partakers of this great glory shal be the inward Court that shal be measurable and made glorious and the inward shal increase more and more and so it shal at length break forth in
