Isa 24. 3. but the dreadful Sentences of his Judgments are now to be executed on a sinful God-daring Generation that scorned to take any Warning till Himself should come and take Vengeance on them Yet blessed be his glorious Name there is a Rainbow round about his Throne and when he shall bring a Cloud and cover the Earth the Bow shall be seen in the Cloud and he will remember the Everlasting Covenant Glory to the Righteous we have a full assurance of Faith we shall see an innumerable Company of all Kindreds People Tongues and Nations with white Robes and Palms in their hands crying Salvation to him that sits on the throne and to the lamb for ever and ever And for all these things Blessing Glory Wisdom Honour and Might be unto our God for ever and ever Laws Statutes and Judgments to the Church of Philadelphia THAT that I am to Witness to you now is that which was declared by the Lord's Servant whilst the Mystery of God was finished and witnessed by the Church of Philadelphia was the Laws Statutes and Judgments of the Eternal God that stand fast for ever and ever throughout all Generations And when the Word came forth in the Father's Season He that sits on the throne saith behold I make all things new The Lord pointed me to Witness to it and write it down and gave it to his Servant 't is gone forth in Righteousness and shall return no more till it hath formed the new heaven and the earth You will say How should I know that that Word was gone forth in Righteousness Alas I knew no more than a stock or a stone but the Lord made me know that it was the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus and that I must bear witness to it and I could have no ease in my Conscience till I had done it and again when the heavens were planted and the foundations of the earth laid and he said to Zion thou art my people That Lord sent me to bear witness I saw the new heaven and the new earth and he had sworn in my heat time should be no longer The day is come he makes a new covenant with the house of Israel Jer. 31. 31. These Mysteries were as far above the reach of such a poor Worm as I as the Heavens are above the Earth for when I was so wrapt up in the sight of the new heavens and the new earth I could not forbear saying as I went up and down I see a new heaven and a new earth it was as wonderful to me when I heard those Words Rev. 21. as if I had never known there had been any such Scripture therefore God forbid that you should think there was any thing in the Creature in these things I did also about this time several times here Voices and they were those Voices in Revelations and I knew when I heard it it was the Voice of God differing from all other that ever I heard in all my life-time and when-ever I heard a Voice or saw a Vision or bore witness to any of the Words of the Prophecy of that Book I was so awed with it that I durst never entertain a thought ever any more against it it became a perpetual law in my Soul and when the Blessing was pronounced upon the Church of Philadelphia in a Ministerial way the Lord sent me to bear witness to it Rev. 1. 3. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the word of the prophecy of this book and he had declared the Downfall of Babylon and the chaining of Satan the Lord made us see it done in an Angelical way and so bare witness to it according to these words Rev. 20. 1. I saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent called the devil and satan and bound him for a 1000 years Rev. 18. I saw another angel come down from heaven and he cryed mightily with a strong voice saying Babylon the great is fallen is fallen Again when the seventh Angel had poured out his Vial into the Air a great voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying It is done enter Philadelphia in the Name of the Father Son and Holy-Ghost the Lord sent me to bear Record to the Word of God and to the Testimony of Jesus Christ That we are now entered into the Paradice where there is no more curse but the Throne of God and of the Lamb are in it and his servants shall serve him and they shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads and there shall be no night there and they need no candle neither the light of the son for the Lord God gives them light and they shall reign for ever and ever Some of these things I am forced to bear witness too that all the World may know that the Words of the Kingdom are no cunning devised Fables when our Blessed Lord and Saviour came and wrought those Miracles that never Man did yet they would not believe but said He cast out devils by Beelzebub the prince of devils What a dreadful Sentence he passed on them therefore said he All manner of sins and blasphemies shall be forgiven but the blasphemy of the Holy-Ghost shall never be forgiven You must think God will stand up for his great Honour and Name and call all nations together Who amongst them can declare this Isa 43. 9. Could all the Art in Heaven and Earth have caused one of these Voices to have been heard or Visions to be seen or one Word of the Prophecy of this Book to have been kept without the omnipotent power of God Indeed we might have seen these things with our bodily Eyes when they had been done to our outward Senses but to see them with Christ's seven Eyes which are upon the Stone that can be attributed to none but God Himself Can you think without a Commission from God any under the Copes of Heaven durst be so audacious as to take his Sacred Name into their Mouth and come and witness and affirm before all the World The keeping of the sayings of the prophecy of this book when such a dreadful Sentence is passed on them That shall add to these things Rev. 22. 18. but so great and vast are these Misteries above the comprehension of Men and Angels no Word can utter or Tongue express what is here delivered is but a short account of some few particular things to be a Testimony to you of the fulfilling of the whole Book but you must look to it for what comes to you is the Word of God and Testimony of Jesus Christ Object But we look for visible sensible things Answer That we are bound in Conscience because of this Word every moment to expect the great change that comes on the whole world but yet if the Word of God

amongst us to make us all New Soul and Body as I was bound to keep any of the Commands of God And again this was confirmed to us when the Lord's Servant came with these Words Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH The Father's Day is come which was hid from Men and Angels I found these things so strong and weighty that I could not dally with them for if I would have said I did not believe he had brought his first begotten again into the World because I did not see him with my bodily Eyes my own Conscience would have condemned me for the Oath of God was writ in my Heart which he had sworn to Philadelphia Time shall be no longer and behold the man whose name is the BRANCH I knew in my Soul that this was the Word of God that the Old Adam's State was finished which could be done only by the coming of the New I must own it in the presence of God that he hedged me up to these things and put me to that blessed streight that I must cry out in the Name of all Philadelphia Be ye lifted up ye everlasting doers and the King of glory shall come in And I Witnessed to them That the Christ of God was not only given to us out of the Father 's own hand in his own season but clossed with and received as he was offered in the Word in sure and certain hopes that as we have born the image of the earthly so now for ever bear we the image of the heavenly Adam I Witness that God writ it with an Iron Pen and the point of a Diamond on my Heart That I was finally eternally and everlastingly acquitted and absolved from all the guilt of Sin and Sorrow which came by the first Adam having received and closed with the Righteous BRANCH as he was given out of the Father 's own hand for which infinite Grace and Mercy I prostrate my self in Dust and Ashes at his Feet acknowledging his Love and Mercy to be absolute grounded wholly and eternally on the Merits of his Dear Son and that there is nothing in any Creature I further Witness That he enabled me to rely on the Infallibility of his Word Oath and Testimony which from that time stood in full force for the utter destruction of my Sins and Corruptions I Witness That I came a miserable distressed tormented Wretch out of the Old Adam's State so that I had longed many years for a Grave not for any outward Miseries but constant wearyings and tirings out with a Body of Sin and Death And the man whose name is the BRANCH that was given out of the Father 's own hand became almost glorious triumphant Conquerour over the Old Adam and for these things I bow my Knees to the Almighty and shall sing Praise unto my Zion's KING now and ever Amen I Witness That I heard a great voice from the temple of heaven from the throne saying It is done And then he came and writ on me his new name King of kings and Lord of lords and upon this called me to take of the water of Life freely And he shewed me a pure river of water of life clear as christal proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb Rev. 22. 1. I Witness I had not only an outward Call in the Word to take these waters of life but inward Illumination of his Spirit according to these words Rev. 22. 17. The spirit says Come All Glory to my Zion's JESUS now and ever And I took of the water of life and shall never thirst more it is in my Belly a well-spring to Eternal Life All Glory to the Lord alone now and ever I Witness That at the same time he said unto me Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH See the tree of life placed in the midst put forth thy hand fear not take eat and live for ever and he gave me of the Tree with these words John 6. 58. Not as your fathers eat manna and are dead he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever And for all these things Blessing and Honour and Wisdom and Strength and Power be to our God now and ever Amen And there is no more curse but the throne of God and the. Lamb shall be in it his servants shall serve him And see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads And there shall be no night there they need no candle nor light of the sun for the Lord God giveth them light and they shall reign for ever Rev. 22. 3 4 5. All Glory to the Lord alone now and for ever After these things the Lord's servant comes and tells you God hath performed his Oath There is time no longer And the mighty angel comes down cloathed with a cloud and a rainbow on his head his face shin'd as the sun and his feet as pillars of fire And he had in his hand a little book open and he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the earth And cried as when a lyon roareth And he lift up his hand to heaven and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever who created heaven and the things that therein are the earth and the things that therein are and the sea and the things that therein are that there should be time no longer Rev. 10. 1 2 3 6. I Witness That on this same day I had a strict Commission from God to tell you with other things That a sign of deliverance to the Church of Philadelphia signified God's Oath to them The Lord tells you He hath performed his Oath and there is time no longer the Old Adam's state is finished And I do affirm in the Name of the Eternal God That this is the Witness of Him that is Faithful and True and that he doth hath and shall for ever sway his Kingly Scepter in my Soul and he hath conquered the Old Adam And once more in the Name of the Lord I do affirm for the Honour of his Word and Oath That he did come down on this same day with a rainbow on his head as a most glorious triumphant Conquerour over the Old Adam and that he did remove the iniquity of the land in one day Zech. 3. 9. And the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed but the covenant of his peace shall never be removed Isa 54. 10. I bear witness That poor Zion which had lain so many 100 Years under the Guilt of that Blood which they shed and they have this day a fountain opened for sin and uncleanness Zech. 13. 1. he hath opened the peoples graves and the dead bodies live again Ezek. 37. 12.
