them had Sattin cloaths and some of them were in cloaths that were laced with Gold and silver lace and they had each of them two or three men a piece waiting on them and they were merry and I said Lord what meaneth these the Lord answered me told me That these doth represent the Parliament and as the were very merry amongst themselves I beheld there appears a hand upon the wall and writ these words Mene Mene Tek Peres and I asked the meaning of this writing and I was told that they were weighed in a ballande were found too light their Kingdom shall be taken from them and given to others I beheld them that they were very sad and hung down their heads at the appearing of this writing and I heard a voice say crie crie and I said what shall I crie crie that the Lord of host will bring down the Power strength and might of men and will lay their honour ie the dust for my determination is to powere out upon them the fiercenesse of my wrath and indignation and all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousie for the day of the Lord is come that burneth as an oven and all they that do wickedly shal be as ashes under the sools of my feet I will take the Kingdome to my selfe and give it to my Saints and after this was over within a very little while my eternall God within me uttered these words again behold behold what dost thou now see loe I beheld a company of men women Singing and dancing together with Crowns of gold upon their heads and I looked on them and did see them put their hands in their pockets and they pulled out their money and gave it to one another presently after this I saw a company of men which were verry gallant with their men waiting upon them come to them and bowed to them And I said Lord what are these that dance and sing together and the Lord said that these are my Sons and daughters and three crownes betoken victory that they have through the strength of me overcome sinne and flesh and now are come to Sion with everlasting joy and rejoyceing and sorrow and sighing is fled away and these shall reigne with me And whereas thou seest Lords Knights their men come with bags of Gold silver bowing presenting their money to them that were danceing these shew the fullfilling of Scriptures that the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending down to the soles of thy feet shall call thee the blessed of the Lord the Sion the holy one of Israel that the Kings and the fulnes of the Gentiles shall bring their glory and honour to it and as thou seest my sonnes receive their treasure and upon the reciving of it they became one and their men put on their Hats and were no longer SERVANTS but Fellowes with them the time is now at hand that J will be such a terror to all men that they shall throw away their idols of gold and silver one to the other for feare of the Lord and for the glory of my Majestie when I arise to shake terribly the earth that they will no longer assume unto themselves such a Preheminence as formerly they have done And after a little while I heard these words utter'd within me againe behold behold what seest thou now and lo I beheld an Angell with a sickle in his hand come into a field of wheat and I heard a voice say thrust in thy sickle for the harvest is ripe and I said Lord who is this that hath a sickle in his hand and the Lord said this is my messenger that I have sent and the sick'le in his hand is my power by which he shall reap the harvest withall And lo I saw him thrust in his sickle and cut downe all those that were higher then the rest and so made all equall and all the field became as one in greatness none bigger then another And I said Lord what doth this field represent and the Lord told me That the field of wheat are men and as you see the great eares cut from the little ones until they were all alike so will I by my own power and by my bright appearing in my sons and daughters Cut down the loftiness of men and bring low their haughty lookes and I like a mighty Leveller will lay low-the mountains hills and make them as a plaine and will make crooked pathes straight that I alone may be exalted and so will take away that stumbling-block of private intrest that men shall no longer seeke for honour as to warr one with another but I will make them beat their swords and speares into plowshares preuning hookes that there may be universall peace and freedome and all dwell in love together But in a little while after this I heard the same words within me uttered Behold behold what seest thou now and lo I beheld a mighty Angel going from one end of heaven to the other crying Babylon the great is fallen is fallen and is thrown into the Sea that it shall never rise more And my excellent Majestie within me which is my eternal God said by Babylon is meant all forms of governments and ways of worships which men have set up and all Lawes which men have made to keep their fellow-creatures in bondage and slavery but as thou seest this Angel throw a stone into the sea and the stone never rise more so will I by mine own power take away the power of man for ever making any more Laws to hang men eâ—e long and so will destroy the searletcollour'd whore and will slit her nose and burne her flesh with fire for the heaven and the earth shall now flie away and there shall be no more place found for it And after this J heard the same words utter'd within me again Behold behold what seest thou now and lo I beheld a mighty Angel crying aloud the Kingdomes of this world are now become the Kingdoms of God and he shall reigne for ever and ever and now the mystery of God which hath bin hid shall be made manifest and time shall be no longer and now are former things passed away and all things become new And J said Lord what is meant by this Angel and the infinite God by whom we live and move and have our being said that this Angel holds forth my servants crying against the powers of this world and crying me up as the onely power that they will set up and as he cried the mysterie of God is now finished and time shall be no longer it shewes that my sons and daughters shall see know the mysterie of God which mysterie is God in them and that they shall now say time shall be no longer by Gods working so powerfully in them burning up sin and flâ—sh that so sin and flesh or Satan
the forty and two month that are spoken of shall be at an end for these forty two months are a certain time saith the Lord of hosts that I have suffered my self to be hid and my glory hid from the Temple but now the set time is at an end and my light and glory shall shine and as you see the lamps burning and none put them out So will I appear burning up flesh and sin and none shall hinder me from doing my work saith the Lord of hosts that will reign in mount Sion for ever And again the the word of the Lord came unto me saying what seest thou now And I beheld and saw the Moon and the Sun and the Heavens and the Stars and at length I saw them turned into bloud and they fell from the place that they were in and fell to the earth and I saw a company of Swine and Dogs lick them up they being like unto bloud and with their falling upon the earth the earth was changed And I said Lord what is this Sun and Moon and Heaven and Stars which is changed into blood is it the material Sun that gives light by day and the Moon that give light by night And the Heaven the Heaven that fouls fly in and my eternall God within me said No but by these is meant other things as the Moone is a borrowed Light from the Sunne and not a perfect Light it selfe so by the Moone is meant outward Ordinances that People have and are under by which they have received some Glympse of Light but not the Light it selfe by the Sun is meant a more glorious Dispensation of outward Ordinances or Ordinances in a more higher Nature As the one being a Baptizing of Infants and so they in this Dispensation fetch Light from Creatures or from the Men of this World which seemingly have light but have not So the other which is of a more higher Nature as the Baptizing of Believers is a Sun-light as they call it and so the Baptisme-way of Baptizing Believers and breaking of Bread together is a way wherein according to the Scriptures they seeme to be more like the Sunne than the other but yet is not the way which I approve of saith the Lord of Hosts and the Heaven is the Heaven of outward Dispensations and Formes and wayes of Worships Governments and Rules to walke by that so long as People living under these and do observe punctually to fulfill these as the observing the Sabbath Day Praying and Preaching and going to Church as they call it and others meeting in private Places as they thinke fit to meet in and so to heare a Man speake something of God this is Heaven which People live in and meant by this Vision saith the Lord of Hosts and the Starres is their professions of God according to the severall Dispensations they are under and so this Heaven and the Starres therein and the Sunne and Moone mentioned in Scriptures turned into bloud is meant all outward Administrations as Formes Governments and Rules and wayes of Worships which have been as lights that People have seen something of God in and so have seen God at a distance from them are now changed from light to bloud and so are fallen from their places that they may no longer be as lights and by the Dogges and Swine licking them up is nothing else but a totall Distinction of them that they may never be more and the People may from hencefortb loath them and see me the Lord of Host to be all and in all for my great and notable Day which these shall be turned into bloud my coming to my sonnes and daughters and so judging all these things in them and making of them darknesse is the Earth that they fell upon and was changed and the Dogs and Swines as is set forth by them a totall fall of Worships by licking up the bloud so by them is set forth the most greatest and most wickedst Men which have by their power set up these things a change in them that they shall no longer do so any more but shall become new for I have taken their power from them and they are become new saith the Lord of Hosts and as thou seest a new Heaven and a new Sunne and Moon in the place of the former and a new earth is but the fulfilling of Prophesies that have a long tine since been spoken of and now are come to passe this new Heaven is the enjoyment of me they living in me and I in them so they shall have no need of Heaven of Ordinances or wayes to walk by but I will be their light both Sun and Moon and so that they shall have no need of these lights to walk by but I will be the glory of them and as you see former things passed away and all things become new it is the passing away of the Sun Moon Stars and Heaven which are outward Administrations and Formes of Worships Teachers of Men that I the Lord of Host may be both Heaven Sun Moon Stars and Teacher to and in them that they may hear a voice saying this is the way wallk in it and the new earth is a change of Men which have had power over their fellow Creatures and did desire to have so that they may be accounted great but this was not an Earth wherein Righteousnesse dwelt and so must pass away that there may be a new one which new one is an alteration or change of Mens mindes that as they have desired a superiority and have strived to cozen and cheat others for to make themselves great they shall no longer strive for these but instead of them shall humble and abase themselves and throw away their Idols of Gold and Silver their money I mean which they have made gods of to them that have none that there may be equality and universality all injoying the fruit of the Earth saith the Lord of Host who hath commanded the Writer hereof to write it as my will and not his that so all things may become now and there may be an Earth wherein Righteousnesse shall dwell And again the word of the most high came unto me saying behold behold what seest thou now and low I beheld something almost in the fashion of an house but it was not an house and I said Lord what is this and my God said it is a tabernacle and as you saw one with a Crown of gold goe into it it was I the Lord that went into it and I said is this the tabernacle of God that is said to be with men and the Lord said it is and this tabernacle is my people wherein I will dwell and as he had a Crown of gold that went into it it betokens a victory that I have taken it to be my possession and as soon as I was in it you saw flames of fire burn up the gold pearles and precious stones and the wood hay and stubble and
appear to be all and in all that so universal freedom may be in your streets and nothing but peace within your borders that righteousness may now cover the earth and the emnity of all creatures be taken away that the ground may now be freed from the curse and the earth bring forth her increase that I alone may be and none besides me saith the Lord of Hosts who is the life of all creatures And again the word of the Lord came unto me saying Son of Man behold behold and loe I looked and there appeared Chariots in Heaven runing up and down and I told them and there were seven of them and one that led them about and was before them cried with a loud voice to them that were in the Chariots come let us go down and destroy the earth before this yeer be at an end and I beheld that he that said so drew his sword and gave it to a man and said goe thou and do the worke of the Lord and I will be with thee and thou shalt prosper And I said Lord what meanes these Charriots there being seven of them and the Lord said the Charriots set forth those whom I have appointed to do my worke and there being seven of them shewes a perfect and compleat number that shall accomplish and do all my pleasure and one being before shewes that I the Lord of host have stirred them up and will lead them on and be with them and as thou seest them in heaven it shewes that I have retained them in my favour and one with them it shews that I have been kept in heaven until the time of the restitution of all things or I have not made my name known and whereas he cried come let us go down and destroy the earth before this year is at an end it shewes the time of restitution is now at hand that I the Lord of host will recover my wooll and flax my glory and honour and I thus appearing earthly powers which robbed me must be destroyed and I said Lord by earthly powers do you mean the Parliament and by the year do you mean a year as we call it as from Jan. to January and the Lord said by the earth is meant the Parliament which shall be destroyed and as he said before the year is at an end is meant that the Parliament shall be destroyed and brought to nothing before January next and so the year to be a year as you account yeares and some of them I will bring into me to be in my favour and others shall be devoured in my wroth for I will make a short worke on the earth and as thou sawest one that drew his sword being before them he doth represent me and as he gave his sword away to that man that stood by him and said take this sword and do my work It shewes that I have made choice of a man to lead my Instruments on to do all my pleasure and whereas he gave him the sword and bid him prosper so I will by my own power in you by you effect my strange work and I said Lord what man is this whom thou hast given thy sword to and the Lord said it is him whom I have chosen and stirred up to do my worke as I have allreadie decleared to you and the set time or the Longest time of the being of the Parliament is but sixe hundred threescore and six daies as I have shewn to thee allready And the Lord within me that hath shewn me these things told me that for the truth of what I had seen had reveal'd as that the Parliament should be brought to nothing in such a short time he the Lord of host within me when he revealed it to me and commanded me to write it and told me as soon I had done writing of it I should be taken in a shaking fit which proved very true and it came upon me as soon as I had done writing of it before I could speake to them as was with me or before I could rise from the stoole I sat on in which fit of shaking I was by a power taken off the stoole and lifted up though one did strive to hold me down whereby I see it is the Lords time to confound all things besides himself that he may have the glory of all and he onely be honoured unto which I say amen amen And again the word of the Lord came unto me saying behold behold what seest thou now and loe I beheld a bush about seven foot high all on fire and I said Lord what meaneth this bush to be of a flame and not to consume and the Lord said by this bush is set forth my people and by the fire is set sorth I the Lord of host as the bush was all on fire so will I be a fire to my Church as the bush was not consumed but rather more fresher so will I burne away the dross and filthinesse of my Church and make them more pure then ever they were and as the bush stood still so will I by my burning away their filth make them the Church stand still and wait upon me and so make them leave of running after any outward teacher or outward meanes by which they have received some comforts as from streames but will make them to come unto me the fountain where they shall have their filland be satisfied and as I did in old time appear to Moses my servant in a burning bush so have I appeared to thee now in a burning bush and as I sent Moses to Pharoah to tell him I will have my people out of the Land and so Redeem them from their bondage and slaverie so my time is now at hand that I will Redeem my sons and daughters from their heavie Task-masters as the powers of this world but as Pharoah was so envious against my people as to gather an army to follow them for to destroy them ye read that instead of destroying my people they were all drowned in the red Sea even so all those that will not grant my sons and daughters freedome and libertie as to enjoy the fruits of the earth that they may glorifie me shall have their hearts hardned to war against them but as I appeared for Moses and the children of Israel and gave them deliverance So will I now appear against all those that appear against me the Lord of host or against my people and will destroy them and consume them that they may never be more for I have spoken and it shall surely come to Passe for I will do all my pleasure saith the Lord of host And again the word of the Lord came unto me saying behold this man and see what he doth and loe I beheld a man in gay cloathes and he had a bagge in his hand and he put his other hand and tooke al the mony that was in it and threw it about so long as any
THE SOVNDING OF THE LAST TRUMPET OR Severall Visions declaring the universall overturning and rooting up of all Earthly Powers in ENGLAND With many other things foretold which shall come to passe in this Year 1650. Lately shewed unto GEORGE FOSTER who was commanded to Print them Printed in the Yeare 1650. The Epistle to the Reader O Earth earth earth hear the word of the Lord and tremble thou earth at the presence of the mighty God of Iacob for behold he comes to take vengeance on his enemies and they that have exercised oppression shall be by the All of all things confounded and brought to nothing whether they be outward powers that have their fellow creatures in bondage to them or the powers of flesh ruling and domineeering in them Isay both powers shall be brought to nothing and shall not be able to stand any longer for his excellent Majesty appearing in brightnesse will be a terrour to all flesh and all powers shall become as weak as water before him and Lucifer that hath made the Nations to tremble shall be brought to nothing even all the power strength and glory of man shall be but as grasse and as the flower of the field that is soon cut down and then comes to nothing and is as if it were not even so at the appearing of the Lord of hosts shall all powers of what sort or under what notion sâ—ever be in a very little while as if they were not and God alone even the eternall God appeare to be King and Lord over all the Earth at whose appearance all things besides himselfe shall be brought to nothing even all POWERS shall become as nothing and the mighty men and great men as Kings and Lords for fear of the Lord of Hosts shall run into the holes of the rocks and into the Dennes of the Earth to hide themselves for fear of his Majesty for he doth now arise to shake terribly the earth and all the earth shall become dung before him and all the powers of the earth shaâ—l be as dung before his Instruments whom he hath made choice of to do his great and terrible work for he hath now a strange work to do which will not be done by the powers of the earth but the mighty Jehovah will do his strange work by poâ—r weak and dispised instruments even by those that are as nothing in themselves that the All of al things may appear to be their power and their strength and so through the stength of the mighty God levell and lay mountaines and hils low and make plaines nâ—d vallies equall with them add so I will leave you to the ensuing Treatise there to see what Gwd hath purposed to do the which he hath been pleased to reveale to me by vâ—sions which power as I aâ— a creature haâ—h so powerfully appeared in me as I have not been able to resist but must send it forth th the publike view as being one that that been made for a figne and wohder amongst men and so for my own puietnesse sake and qeace of Spirit I am made to put it to thy view and so am contented to be a foole and to undergo the hard and harsh censures of many leaveing it to thy serious consideration or to thy malicious spirit which may bite against it and say I am deluded and the Devil hath power over me I 'le leave it to you that see or heare of it foâ— time to make manifest what it is and I 'le wait upon the mighty God of Jacob being confident he hath made out himselfe unto me by Vision and Revelation and hath set me as a Wonder in the eyes of men but wonder not as to mock and laugh at me least your hearts be hardned so you be one of the vessels whom the Lord will powre out the fiercenes of his wrath upon for surely my God hath not set me as a sign for nothing if he hath I am contented to be nothing that he the Lord of hosts may appear to be all yea I am confident the All of all things hath a very great work to do he hath made use of me as of one that am a poor creature purposely to sâ—t me a sign for some to be forewarned that the Lord of hosts is comming to destroy all things beside himselfe that they may be willing when he appeareth to forsake all and to count that which for the present is their God as gold and silver as nothing that they may cloath and feed the hungry and so escape the day that shall burne as an Oven But for others to be a stone of stumbling a gin and snare at which they shall stumble and fall And so Reader that thou maiest understand by reading of this treatise what God is now a doing and how powerfull he is For I have seen him to be very strong for these things following I did much question whether they were not a delusion of the Devill by reason of the strangenesse of them so did by questioning of them bring my selfe into a restlesse condition as severall times to be tempted to make away my selfe For these things saith the tempter if thou publish them will make you a hissing and a laughing stock and flesh being willing to be at ease I could have bin contented to have buried them in the bed of oblivion so thought to have hid them and not to have brought them forth but the voice of the Lord came to me saying that thou maiest know that I the Lord of hosts I have made out unto the by vision revealed things that shall surely come to passe that I have commanded thee to put them in print thereforâ— to go to London thou shalt be dumb and so I was for niâ— houres as a token to convince thee of thy unbeliefe And the next day the voice of the Lord said I should be blind as a token to convince me of my unbeliefe which I was for eleven houres And at the same time the voice of the Lord said for to hasten me away for to be a wonder in London I should be deprived of the use of my hand untill I did go up to speak with Fairfax and being thus taken speechles and blind and my right hand closed up that I could not open it I'did come up to London and being in London I did go to the Generals house for to speak with him but could not then I went againe and could not and the third time but could not be admitted for to speak with him And all this while my hand was closed up so fast that severall that saw it did not conclude it was by a supernaturall power and I did tell them that I had a message to deliver to the Generall but for the present I knew not what it was but I never did tell any that it could not be opened by force and strength but did tell them that I my selfe could not open it but
North and South and they held the winde in their hands that it could no longer blow upon the earth or Sea and I said Lord what meaneth these foure men to do thus as they do and my excellent Majestie the Lord of hosts said these foure men are my sons and daughters in whom I have spread my selfe through out the world And by the wind which they hold in their hands that it should blow no more upon the earth or Sea is meant all outward formes or wayes of worship which of one kind or other have bin in all places set up by men but now I have taken their power from them and have given it to the Saints and by my bright appearing in them they shall not suffer any formes or wayes of worship to be set up And again the Lord said behold behold what seest thou now and I beheld a Throne and one that set thereon before whose face heaven and earth fled away and there was no place for them and I said what is meant by this Throne and the Lord said by this Throne is meant my sons and daughters and as you saw one that sat thereon t is I the Lord of hosts whoâ—… rule and reigne in my sons and daughters and they are my temple and house wherein I dwell and by the heaven and earth that fled away is meant all earthly powers Governments and formes and wayes of worship all outward administrations which by the appearing of me the God of Gods shall be consumed and burned up that they may never be more but that I the God of Gods may appear to be their teacher and ordinances and so all and in all and so my Covenant of grace spoken off by Jeremiah my son be fulfilled you shall not need to say know the Lord so they shall know me from the least to the greatest and that other Prophesie ye shall be taught of God And on the seventh day of February The word of the Lord came unto me and said behold behold what seest thou and loe I beheld and there appeared a table and a cloth laid upon it and trenchers and napkins upon it and stooles pulled out for men to fit upon them and one cried with a loud voyce come all ye fowls of the heavens to the supper of the great God and presently there were dishes of all sorts of meat set upon the table and after this I saw three froggs creeping up and down and at length they entred into Kings and Lords and great men and presently they gathered themselves together and their armies and I said Lord what is the meaning of this Table and of the things that are there on and my God said the table is the earth and the things thereon being of all sorts represent all things in the earth and I said what is he that makes the supper and calls all the foules of the heaven to come to it and my eternall God within me said it is I the Lord of hosts that make this supper and invite the foules to it and I said what foules and the Lord said by foules you must understand my sons and daughters who live in the heavenly injoyment of me and they have all sorts of things here to supper I even the flesh of Kings and Lords and mighty men and captaines and of all both small and great bond and free it shewes that the day is now a coming that they shall have the full injoyment of all creatures and so shall inherit all things the flesh of Kings and great men which they eat is the wayes of worships and formes of governments which they have set up their eating of them shewes a final consumation of them as that they shall be consumed and never be more the three froggs that went into the King and great men of the earth are the spirits of devills which is the proud flesh domineering over the spirit of God so ruling in their hearts maks them raise armies of men gather their forces together to resist the appearing or coming of me saith the Lord of hosts And thus through the pride of their hearts and loftinesse of their spirits they gather Gog and Magog together to compasse the Saints round But I said what is meant by Gog and Magog and the Lord said by Gog and Magog is meant all the wisdome power and strength of proud flesh which the great and wise men of the earth have invented as their power on one side and their false wayes of worships and formes of governments on the other side and Lawes which they have made to make the Saints and people submit unto are the great armies that compasse the Saints round or make war with me saith God But you see fire come out of heaven and burne them up so by the bright appearing of me saith the Lord of hosts shall all the enemies of my Saints which have deceived them be consumed and burnâ—d up as formes and governments and wayes of worships that they may be no longer deceived by them and I beheld the Devil that had deceived them and I did at length see him thrown into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone there to be tormented with the false Prophet day and night and I said what is meant by the Devil thrown into the fire and my God said by the Devil is meant all the wisdome cunningnesse and craftinesse of proud flesh which hath invented formes and wayes of worships to deceive the people they are all now burnt up and consumed by the fire of my jealousie saith the Lord of hosts and are to be day and night tormented by me That is all proud flesh and false Prophets which is the wisdome of the flesh shall from day to day and from night to night be under my wrath and afraid to looke me in the face and so by my appearing saith the Lord of hosts who am a consuming fire shall they be tormented who all flesh and filthinesse the power and wisdome of men Gog and Magog that I the Lord of hosts may be all in all For this lake of fire is my wâ—ath saith God into which I have judged and sentenced proud flesh that opposes me and throwne it that so I may consume proud flesh and bring it to nothing And againe the Word of the Lord came unto me saying what seest thou now and I looked and presently I saw a great City which to me did appear to be very gallant as if there were none like it and I said Lord what meaneth this City or what City is this and my Eternall God within me said this great City is spirituall Sodom and Egypt where the Son of God was crucified and I said Christ was crucified at Jerusalem though he was saith the Lord of hosts put to death by the Jewes yet he was also crucified in Sodome and Egypt that is the Lawes and formes and customes of the Jewes is Sodome and Egypt because their Lawes and formes did slay
presently the Tabernacle that stood upon a foundation had none but hung onely by the power of him that went into it this glold pearles precious stones wood hay stuble which was burnt up are all manner of outward administrations that ever were or is now at present as formes and lawes and Governments and rules of worships to walke by which in one kinde or other have been highly esteemed of all sorts of men according to the dispensation they have been under and though they have laid Christ for a foundation yet these hath been in one sort or other the work which they have built upon which work is to passe under the fire for the Apostle says every mans work shall be tryed by fire and if any mans works suffer loss it will be by burning yet he shall be saved so as by fire which fire is my self even I the Lord of hosts appearing in this tabernacle spoken of which as soon as I did appear or entred in all was consumed and burnt up all the most glorious dispensations and formes of worships which in my absence they have received comfort from though all these outward administrations are consumed yet the creatures remained saved by fire that is by my self saith the Lord of hosts who am a consuming fire and as you see the temple as soon as these outward things gold silver wood hay stubble were consumed It had no foundation but was held up onely by the power of him that was in it between the heaven and the earth so this is the ultimate end of my burning up all the formes and waies of worships and rules of men that they may see that they have not had me to be their foundation for if they had and had built right upon it the drosse would have been burnt from it and they would have stood fast and not have been removed which now thou seest they are and have no foundation their worships and wayes being taken from them they fall if I by my own power do not hold them mp but I have to this end destroyed them all and routed them of their forces that they may now stand by my power alone and see me to be their lives and their all and in all that I would have them no longer receive comfort from streams but from me their fountain of life as thou heards me say I was a Alpha Omeg they that overcom shal inherit al things I wil be their God they shal be my people if nothing else but a declaration that I am all and in all and he that over comes must be by my power who am the all of all things that he doth overcome some flesh and Divell and so by his overcoming he shall inherit all things he shall inherit me or enjoy me the Lord of host and I will in love communicate my self unto him and by injoying me he shall injoy all things for all the beasts of the field and all the houses and lands and mony in the world is mine saith the Lord of host so shall they be my sons and daughters and they shall have a full injoyment of them all for as I made Adam Lord over all creatures and made all creatures to be for the use of Adam and Adam so long as he stood he did injoy them all so will I now saith the Lord of hosis recover my wool and my flax and redeem the creation from bondage and make such a work in the earth by my bright appearing that the rich misers shall howle and weep for depriving my sons and daughters of the outward creatures and their rusty gold and silver shall so much rise up in their consciences that they shall no longer sayts theirs but it s the Lords and so shall suffer my people and all other poor creatures that want the outward goods of this world to have what they please that there may be universal love saith the Lord of host And the word of the Lord came againe unto me saying what seest thou now and lo I beheld seaven men and each of them had a trumpet and one of them seven sounded his Trumpet and the rest did not and as soon as he had done sounding there appeared one with a booke open in his hand and lifted up his hands to heaven and did swear by him that liveth for ever time should be no longer but now the mystry of God is finished as he hath declared by the voice of his former Apostles And I said Lord who be these Trumpeters and my eternal God within me said these be my sons which have from time to time sounded an alarum to the world as you see but one sound and the rest did not It shewes that they that did not had sounded already That is they according to their light have preached and spoken against Antichrist and have given Antichrist warning of what the seventh was to sound but now the seventh sounds the mistery of God is finished that is a great and glorious discovery of light is now made manifest more thensever hath been by the appearing of one saith the Lord of host which makes my sons and daughters know the mistery which hath been hid and so crie a loud that time shal be no longer not onely crie
