as it is in themselves though many have learned in this day to adde to their Faith Vertue and Patience and all good Fruits of the Spirit of God because of the Experience of the Work of Faith which through Patience they are kept in the sence of in the midst of Fiery Tryals and they hold fast the begettings of God thereby in a confidence of good in him XI And then as they increase in Knowledge it is on a good ground and foundation that hath learned them to rejoyce in the FLAMES of DEVOURING FIRE whose devouring QUALITY cannot reach their SENCE with any BITTERNESS of its Sting but through Patience and Submission thereto it is made sufferable and the Cross is made easie therein and the BURDEN light because of a quenching property in that love against whatever maketh the Judgement of God to be unsufferable Torment to his Creature for part of their Knowledge is that it is not only given them to believe but to suffer for the namesake of God though in the beginning of the Work of Faith the belief that was wrought by the Spirit of God in them is a Convincer of sin under which there was and is a suffering in the nature that hath contracted the guilt thereof on the Soul by unity of Spirit therewith even the Spirit and God of the World XII Further knowing and being perswaded in patience to wait for the perfecting of the Work of God in the Heart in that Faith and belief of the love of God therein shed abroad that they are kept sensible of a good experience of the Work thereof having the Testimony of a good Conscience to manifest the same in the World these can shew their Faith by its Works and have a birth thereof that makes not ashamed of a good CONFESSION among Men and the fained Humility and appearances of Love from the untimely Fruit of the Womb that can never come to see the glory of the Sun of this day withereth in its way for that which can indure and hold out to the End worketh by the love of God that hath begotten into a lively hope concerning the Resurrection from the Dead having a Life tinctured in the Souls reach after true Charity in God and Love unfained which is the highest attainment in a Christians state and the greatest Gift that can be attained by men under the Bond of Perfection XIII Sealing the Work in which God doth glory and delight in that which is made able to pass through the stroke of Death to leave an Earnest of the expectations of the Creature after the day of Redemption in that which is much more pretious than that of Gold that perisheth But how have I seen many in this day loading themselves with the Fancy and Imaginations of their disquieted Mind and then being burdened with a Fear and Jealousie that ariseth from the Unbelieving Heart and distrustful ground they are ready to cry out of the Burden of the Lord whereas their own words and thoughts are become their Burden who have taken that on them which God never layd on them and yet they make the concern for the Lords sake that lays no more on any than they are made able to bear in the Life of Patience XIV And in this ground stand all the several Separations and hasty receivings into Fellowships with sudden hands laid on Proselytes for herein is the ground of prejudice swayed by the creaturely affection yet in this mind may be maintained a fierce and fiery Zeal for the opiniatedness that may often call for fire to come down from Heaven and to have Vengeance and Plagues speedily executed on such against whom their Spirit is bent for having wished evil in their Hearts and mischief against the Persons of such towards whom they cannot admit of any CHARITABLE thoughts they proceed in a hasty Prophecy of their utter confusion and then would they rather that both Soul and Body of the subject over whom they seek to be avenged in that rejoycing should for ever perish than that they should be found False Prophets so evil a thing it is to be engaged in a Spirit of Enmity and Envy XV. But such Extremities many have this day put themselves on through rash censure and then run back to former Ages and Generations of the World for a President and Example to help them out as they think whereby they oft are ready to plead the lawfulness of cursing their Adversary who standeth not justified in their sight and approbation because ELISHA was once acted in that Ministration through the heat and zeal of his Spirit it being so far from their nature to live in that which is wayting for the Worlds redemption from sin and reconciliation to God that they rather strengthen their FURY in the expectation of utter Consumption and Destruction on all that cannot for wraths sake stoop to their perswasions and it is the end of such willings to see a People perish in their sins XVI Because of that mis-informed Zeal under which their Spirits are acted against the Enemies and Foes of that Cause for which they have found the life imboldened towards God according to the quickning of his Spirit as tinctured with that Power before which the Heavens have opened and do shut and in the like desire THEY are moved as was HE before whom Fifties were destroyed whose Spirit resteth Judgement on a Ground wherein God hath prepared Messengers to go before his face But considering the difference in Administrations that Zeal which runneth out after an Object to maintain the heat of Spirit against which it is enkindled is not now held and retained in the like Cause and Ground as that in which it first appeared XVII For God is gone out of that Administration as acted towards the Persons of Men in their Generations and cannot own any glory therein but as that which had a Testimony of his day in the Prophecy thereof wherein the Messengers went before his Face in a sence of that terror that was come on the Wicked World because such that wear the soft Cloathing are got into Kings Houses and they shall no more wear a rough Garment or prophesie in their Sackcloth Robes therefore whom would men go out to see since Times are come that the Sacrifice of the Rebellious savoureth of the Work of Death and there is not fire enough to kindle the combustible matter in the House on the top of which they are exalted while the Displeasure of God continueth unawakened in the Pleasure and Will of Men that bring Wood but where is the Flame of that other Spirit which God requireth even of Reconciliation to Himself in the Life of Forgiveness in that which is able to Appease and Quench the Wrath and Rage of the devouring Enemy and make Friends in the Well-Beloved Life XVIII Yet where is Love and Forgiveness enough to heap Coals of Fire on the Heads of Enemies the Gift hath been first left at the Altar and such

IV. How all forms in Nature began to degenerate into the monstrous shapes of deformed Beasts XXXVII AND the ANGEL of God said Come up hither and I will shew thee the MYSTERY of all those WATERS and of that which came forth out of the Womb of Eternity from whence all those Waters came and whither they shall return and until the end of the FIVE dayes I beheld the working-frame of what stood manifest from the Womb of Eternity And I saw all the Earth overspread with Creatures and things yet nothing was moved out of the ground under which it was subjected by the Creating power that wrought for manifestations sake until the end of FORTY DAYES XXXVIII And there was also from the THREE that bare Record on Earth a SECOND great LIGHT that ruled the Night in the glory of the Terrestrial Body borrowing a lustre from the Suns clarity For as I travelled through a great trance of the minds perplexity I beheld the whole frame of the works of God from the beginning to the END of time and place as of TWO and TWENTY dayes labour wherein I saw the Sun and Moon stand in a distance of course two and twenty Degrees of the Suns Motion that wrought up their glory in and through all the Powers of Nature unto which the life of the Creature was subjected under a change in time and place XXXIX Which became the Glory of the Sun of the day of the Son of Man in and through all Coelestial Bodies comprehended in the forms of Nature as a great Light whereby the great and LAST day was ruled and over-ruled in which God is working up his Eternal Glory through what is come forth into manifestation in time and place dignifying the Creator of all forms into being that is able to reveal the Mystery of satsfaction to Divine Justice through what appeareth magnificent in works of Wonder XL.

XXIII And from the Heavens is inkindled a fiery Constellation flaming in that which is sunk into the Creaturely perspection from the highest Heavens that causeth a burning discovery of that which dissolves the Excremental properties ingendered as a Star among the Powers of Nature and through a discovery of the Evening Wolf or little Bear who is got before the LYONS Face all shall be effected which pertaineth to the Ministration of Severity in the appearance of Glory by the second Resurrection of what hath slept its time And where the Carcass is thither do the Eagles resort let not Ephraim therefor envy Manasseh though she be not called to go up to Battel against the Midianites for the Gleanings of Ephraim shall be better than have been the green Fruits of Manasseh XXIV Neither ought Israel to quarrel by the way for before God hath effected the glory of the work he hath begun every one that maketh mention of his NAME shall know himself what he hath been in his own strength and there will not need any fierce drivings in the Camp to scatter every one to his own for before Light shall shine out of any Vessel the Pitcher must be broken in which Case it will be Israels safety to take out a Lot from the URN wherein are three hundred bended Instruments before thou aspire to put forth thy Torch for so did Israel of old whom the Father drew through the catching of the Foxes that were tied Tail to Tail that the fire-brands which are between might be the Executioners of Gods fury on his Enemies a great WOLF grew up in their stead as a Constellation in which three hundred STARS are commanded from the little BEARS Tail in the Motion of the Heavens This therefore is the Sentence of the Angel of God to thy Northern Quarters and inhabited Islands of Europe and Asia God hath beheld your state and you must be tryed yet under the SOUTH Wind but the glory of the day will return to the KINGS of the EAST it is done saith the Lord and their work shall end in that which prepares the way before my Face THE SECOND PART CHAP. I. Wherein is described the coming forth of the FOUR BEASTS in the Forms of Nature in the loosing of the Seven Seals from off the Book c. I. NOW that seventh Vessel which had the fourth place among the forms in Nature was that from whence sprung the Glory of the Heavens in the created being whence ASIA took ROOT through what fell in the Earth And as the Worlds became overspread the Waters which compassed about ASIA on the left hand inlarged their course whereby the Land of EUROPE in the same Continent was compassed about on the right hand by the great River EUPHRATES which became manifest in the decrease of the WATERS II. And I beheld on the four Corners of the Earth the appearance of four Angels of God that held the four Corners of the WINDS and they had power to with-hold the Wind from blowing and to smite the Earth with Plague but their Power had been bound down in the great River EUPHRATES until the loosing of the Dragons Power out of the bottomless Pit who had been also bound therein for the space of a thousand years in which the Holy Nations did arise in their Glory and Order and those four Angels were prepared for an hour a day a month and a year III. And from Assyria in whose fall arose the Mede and Persian which are the two Horns of the RAM in Nature the Ishmalite took root in the fall of the Silver Breast of the Image for there was substance in the Neck of Nature in that which descended from its Head wherein the Face of the RAM was seen but the Yoak being cast off the Spirit of God was made to suffer that which rested as a BURDEN on the Shoulders of the imbodied Form the sence of which came downward in his Creature and Creation and entred the Breast of the Created Being IV. For from the Heavens of an inward World descended into the Bodily Frame a pierced HEART and from the multiplyed Forms in Nature there was moving on the Waters the great VESSEL that I saw which rested in the EAST where the Waters first prevailed wherein was the seventh part of all forms in Nature brought forth in that middle Row to replenish the new Created Earth And in the Hand of the Lyon was the Sealed Book and the Seal of God was on his day to wit the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah while the strong Angel of God proclaimed with a loud Voice Who is worthy to open the BOOK and loose the Seals thereon wherein the Wonders of God were written within and without V. And in the opening and loosing of the first Seal on
either in general or particular Concerns so narrow is the Heart of the Creature tyed up in his Generations and cannot see the good of any thing in Posse though that which is in Esse Self is continually labouring for Interest in yet consider the want of Faith in the World concerning any Help and Deliverance to the Oppressed after which they have fixed Expectations shall not always keep down and hinder the day we groan after but it shall come when Faith is scarce to be found on the Earth and Deliverance shall spring up to the Afflicted as well concerning outward Oppressures as inward when they are left as Men without hope XXXV But none of those that are in the fanning Love and out-side shews of Humility in appearances under any pretence whatever of a universality of Spirit while in a sensual Separation they continue rending themselves from the Body of Fellowship in God wherein is the holy Order of Saints will be able to stand and hold out the indurance of the Tryals that are come into the Worlds though for a Time they make Parties and have Headships in the Divisions of Men about Opinionatedness for it is that every thing may appear in its birth that the Mystery of Iniquity hath been suffered to work and the Selfish Love in appearances of Humility is one with the Spirit of the WORLD in which it is grounded and founded and the day hath made it manifest XXXVI For it is not lo here or lo there will now hide the Professor neither A. nor P. in Profession or that thou hast Love or Zeal in thy Heart but what art thou joyned to in the exercise thereof that leveneth NATURE into a Principle it is that which will discover whose Side thou art on which I long since have had a perfect sight of and that both the fearful and unbelieving of God and his Goodness that for want of Zeal to God in the Cause and Case in which they once have appeared seek to cover their dead mind in a habit of Love and Forgiveness and while filled with the Power of Death they move and reach after a sence in others under which they would be apprehended to live and also the Proud and Presumptious who are heightned in a fierceness of that fiery Zeal could be content to persecute for their OPINIONATEDNESS with Tongue or might of Arm and both will joyn hands to conclude the matter under which a Mystery doth work XXXVII This is already seen and that Doctrines of Truth may be received and believed that have Universal Principles and yet retained in a narrow empty Heart whereby the Cause for which the Just doth suffer is maintained in a Ground that is evil to the Life of Jesus who lighteth every man c. and therefore the Nature of what springeth from thence effecteth that which is contradictory to good sence but I leave the Issue thereof to God who is the Highest and Chiefest GOOD whereby the Creature who is the Subject on which it doth work may come to grow into Unity of Spirit with Him therein wherein Time and Place is measured and comprehended in the incomprehensible Beauty of Holiness which shineth in and over all his Works and standeth in the excelling Properties of that Vertue that transcends the worth of all visible created things which are all to perish in that state of Corruption under which they are brought forth BEAUTIFUL into MANIFESTATION that many may come to comprehend with all Saints what is the height and depth and length and breadth of these things as they are in JESUS XXXVIII But the order of what hath relation to a Publique Good herein depends on a Ground that hath the Truth of all Prophecy opened in the concern it hath to both outward and inward man of which a large Testimony is already given forth in the passage of all those that died in the Faith of the Day many are become Witnesses of and do see and possess great Glory therein through a sence of Redemption and Restauration come unto and come up in the Worlds in its Principles in the several and respective States where many have been found wandering from Satisfaction in the progress of the Work which leads up unto God and therefore concerning the Times and Seasons for which the Vision is set and made to speak thou shalt count a year for a day from the Creation of the Worlds in the Generations of ADAM according to the days of the Life of ENOCH which were 365 years wherein is the ground of all Prophecie comprehended in number and figure that is now made able to utter its voice XXXIX And it will appear to be the fifteenth day of the fifth Month of the sixteenth year since the Creation of the Worlds in the Generations of Adam to this present year 1665. wherein thou shalt count in each month 28 days and â…” parts between New Moon and New Moon counting the beginning of the Month from the Phasis or first appearing-time thereof and from the fifteenth year the Worlds stood divided in that which rested the Judgment of GOD which is brought thereinto on its fourth part or North Quarter over which the Eagle hath had Power in the time the Dragon remained bound down in the bottomless Pit with a chain of the Angel of GOD while those that had received the first Fruits of Joy and Comfort in the Spirit of God and that are made partakers of the first Resurrection have raigned in the Dominion and Power of God in that which hath quickned the Spirit of the Souls of the once dead in Sins and Trespasses as of those Spirits in Prison unto whom the Preacher of Redemption is become manifest XL. And by fifteen degrees of the Sun according to which it hath gone ten degrees backward on the Worlds and in which the Days of the Month and Months of the Year are equally divided thou shalt be made able to measure the Worlds in what is discernable and whence Glory descendeth into Nature from the Equinoctial Pole according to its Elevation counting in the Diurnal Motion of the Wheels wherein a Day standeth for a Year in its figure according to the times and seasons under which the Worlds have multiplied their number to the Generations that are come to possess the Substance of the Wilderness Travel where Moses saith I appoint ye a Year for a Day c. for fifteen Minutes of one degree of the Sun to make one minute of an hour of the day each hour being fifteen degrees of the Sun but in the Annual motion in the Wheels by ONE degree of the Sun there is signified a year and in a month is signified five minutes as doth one minute signifie six days and some odd hours of a degree of the Sun which hath four minutes of an hour to every degree of the Sun in its diurnal Course of Motion XLI But wherein the fifteenth year made its Revolution in the first month of the sixteenth
expected to befall NATIONS in such a Case though his displeasure may be AWAKENED against a People or Nation and in his sufferance are destroying ANGELS loosed out of the great River of the WORLDS Sea and often is he stirred up to that which he delighteth not in even to appear like unto a LYON roused up before he please and as a Giant disturbed from his sleep yet will great Alterations and changes come into the World and they will happen unto the secure like Events determined from an over-ruling Power THE THIRD PART CHAP. I. Wherein is opened the Mystery of what came forth in the Worlds in the form and frame of the Heavens from whence the Vision had power to work up its discoveries I. THE principles of ETERNITY in God or God in his eternal existence is the fire of Life burning in jealousie over his own Honour and Glory that gave being to Love in which remaineth â—he Original Center of all good from whence his preheminence is mainâ—ained in and over his Creature through that which he first inkindled â—n the Ground and Center of Nature in which is both a good and an evil But Waters are the first and all Principle in NATURE through the sinking frame of the WORLDS into and under palpability wherein EARTH took form as a third Principle in Nature separated into being on the third day from whence all Creatures became imbodied in the substantial form of Palpability II. And all separated qualities remain in the ground of substantiality while time place endureth wherein the Life of the Creature centereth in that which is come forth into its individual being among the forms of Nature according to the source it possesseth and inhabiteth for these beings are formed in and from the Earthly Principles which are separated from the Heavens in what remaineth sinking under a power of Corruption wherein threâ—… do bear record for God which are the glory of Terrestrial Bodies Essentially forming Nature into being in that which continueth breathing through the out-spread Firmament of the Atry Heavens under the Waters III. As also from the fiery Heavens from whence a third part of the Waters was dryed up from the Earth in their Principle on the third day and by a third dayes work of God therein manifest the three Glories of the Father do shine through all Celestial Bodies to wit one Glory of the SUN which is a great LIGHT to rule the DAY and another of the MOON which is the lesser LIGHT to rule the NIGHT and another of the STARS according to their differing Glories in which the over-ruling Power of the Heavens subjecteth the forms of Nature in their several Constellations that gives life to the Creatures being in the Earth IV. In this respect God is considered and become the cause of all causes in ETERNITY and ground of all being in NATURE as Palpability is the ground of Corruptibility wherein he is called a consuming and everlasting FIRE and yet as substantiality is not without the Creature he is absolutely the cause of nothing as well as of all things where nothing without God is God without Nature which is a cause of both good and evil wherein the Worlds do remain unmanifest but in Nature and wherein the work of God is comprehended in the forming qualities of that which is brought forth in the effect of labour in seven Natural days V. Therefore said the ANGEL of God these WATERS that thou sawest are those on which the multitude of the WORLDS and great Nations are moved and carried to and fro according to the course of time and tide the WOMAN remained exalted on them who allured many into those Vessels that begin to swim pleasantly over the streams of Corruption singing a Requium to their Souls that they might not remember the danger in their way wherewith they are daily beset and they are called the PEOPLE and Tongues and Nations of the Kindreds of the Earth that are divided under the four WINDS of the Heavens tossed up and down through the boysterous Storms and swelling Tempests that are again gathered together in HEAPS over the main Sea and Ocean of Trouble in which is the Lake and Bottomless Pit from whence all Monstrous shapes in Creatures are come forth to cover the Earth VI. And the Vessels that thou sawest carried thereon are those which were first built and erected from the Heavens into which the Patrons of all Earthly forms were gathered in one and were again distributed through many according to the Nature of the BEAST wherein wrought the confusion of Languages in the prevailing of the MOON over Woman in the changeable wayes and course of the WORLD under which the Heavens stand thus divided VII In seven they took Head and in ten was each Horn exalted over nine which is an intricate number among the Figures in forms of Nature wherein those seven that thou sawest come forth into the Creaturely being first imbodied under the power of Corruption are the seven forms of Nature subjected under a power in which the Heavens and Earth are multiplyed in and according to their Generations generating Nature and name to the being of each form Corporal CHAP. II. Describing the Nature of the degeneration of the WORLDS in those Principles wherein the Creature became imbodied in time and place VIII FOR answerable to the time and place wherein all Created Prinples in the forms of Nature remained sinking under a Power of Corruption working properties in the Heavens prevailed over the bodily frame to afflict it with labour according to the motion in the Wheels in which those Principles suffered and were acted and that which suffered the glory of the frame of the WORLDS to work up the gross form of Palpability in the way and course the Body of Nature became acted by a motion in the Heavens was subject to Corruption that came into time and place through the change of the frame in the Worlds IX And agreeable to the Name and Nature of those Men that were FATHERS in their Generations through whom palpability prevailed in the Waters whereby the Worlds were first overwhelmed in the deluge and overflowing scourge the glory of the World imbodied a form in Nature for the Seed of Life to work up the first Beauty of CREATION according to what was manifest in time and place wherein each day had its year multiplyed in Nature from the Heavens as each Month hath its Hour in what is divided to every particular state and condition of the Creature under which Death and Afflictions have increased their dominion over the ends of the Worlds X. And as from the Womb of Eternity the BEAST in the forms of Nature prevailed in a backward course under which the Heavens were subjected for the manifesting of each day in Nature wherein the Principles of the World were acted and wrought in a frame that discovered its revolutions so according to the years wherein the multiplicity of such forms increased the WATERS
