unto you a great Light hath shined O let it not cloud and pass over you but be ye wise in this your Day to follow the Spirit 's bright-guiding Star which is arising amongst you O London there is hid in thee them that have a true and right Mission from the Munition Rock to give out the Waters of the Spirit plenteously For a Cry there is gone forth for persons to be Prepared and Sanctified by this Water of Life that so they may receive of the Holy Ghost and be witnesses of his Power Hear and hearken in the Spirit O hearken and you will hear the Seventh Trumpet sound from the Seven Spirits that are before the Throne that do tell you that the Mystery of time is now finishing and that the Everlasting Gospel of the Love is opening and and that the Heavens are ready to roll down to open their Glory up-the Earth that the Inhabitants thereof may no longer lye buried in the Dark shade of an Earthly Life § 24. Over thee O City of London a Mighty Angel doth fly with this Thundering Cry saying Do not despise Prophesy neither decry down the Ark of the Living Testimony from which the Spirit as a flowing Stream must renew Paradise upon the Earth And this Warning is given to all of what Ranks or Degree soever whether High or Low whether in the outward Grandeur or in the private and inferious Means of this World Even to you all and every one this Call doth reach Shake shake your Earthly Dust away For now it is the Spirit 's Day That will admit of no Delay § 25. For Scepters and Crowns must be thrown down to the Lamb of God He is in his Saints come to Reign Wherefore all Nations and Languages and Peoples not only here in this Dominion but beyond the Seas every where must the sound of this Trumpet hear For a mighty CYRUS there is already raised whom the most High will in such a manner uphold and endue with his Spirit as he shall be able to bring forth his Temple-Glory and Praise that so out of all Kingdoms Countries and Languages there may be a Gathering and that as Eagles they may fly to that high Mountain where the Olive Tree will drop the Unctuous Oyl most freely This is the Oyl that in Spirit I do see run And I see that some in all Nations will herewith be shortly sprinkled to give notice that the Omnipotent KING is entering upon his Thousand Years Reign § 26. Thus having in Answer to that Grand Objection to wit How there should be any World or Worlds more than what the Scripture hath made mention of demonstrated that there is a succession of the Spirit of Revelation that is never to cease but is more than ever to increase yet upon the Earth as will in this very Age be known and be witnessed I must now draw to the Conclusion of this World called the Still Eternity Concerning which I have this to declare from what I was when taken up into it admitted to the knowledge of I was then shewn and taught these three Particulars worthy to be observed First that no Entrance for Habitation is here found to any departed Spirit though arrived to never so high a Degree of Perfection Nay it was said that CHRIST himself as the First-born from the Dead and as Glorified in our Humanity did not ascend up hither The Unity in the Godhead is always here but not in his Personality For this Globe and Inmost Court is reserved for a greater Mystery then what is yet to be made known Only thus much I was with respect to it informed that as out of this Still Eternity the Deity in and through the Eternal dilating Eye did speculate his own Working Properties for to manifest himself in Nature and thereby generate out of the Eternal Meek Stilness the Creating Powers from the Trinity did go forth to bring forth in the first place the Angelical World furnishing it with Angelical Spirits and so on did proceed to the rest of the above-mentioned Worlds The Second thing we are to note is that this shut-up Principle and highest Court of the Tri-Un God and of his Virgin Wisdom with her offspring of Simplified Spirits is not to be opened till the Will and Pleasure of God the Creating Father shall be to move himself through these mild and pure Spirits for some New Manifestation and Modification upon what in the Created Worlds is found defective that so by a Renewed Creating Power going forth in this manner out from the Still Eternity another face of more excellent Beauty and more transcendent Glory may for an everlasting Fixation come over that which under a Lapse and an Apostacy hath been But how finite and short is all that can be said or even imagined in comparison of those more amazing and stupendous Charges that still add to the Glory of God's Workmanship in his New Creation As to the Third particular that we are to take notice of which is the Order Union and Equal Degree of these Spirits in this Globe of Eternity we can but just hint at it This Unity and Coequality of theirs is manifested by their Operations They are in their working Motion most Active but all their Acts and Powers do go forth in a most profound Stilness the Deity co-operating through them by which an Influencing Stilness doth from them pass forth to the Inhabitants of the other Worlds And yet these Spirits remain all the while unmoveable within their own Principle and Centre moving according as the Deity glanceth forth in them with the Governing Eye which giveth them their all-seeing Commission the which in a delightful Obedience they never fail to execute neither can they do otherwise being unalterably Fixed in the Moving Power of the Holy Ghost THE Conclusion HAving now given a faithful and true Description of these Eight several Worlds not from History but from the revealed Mystery according to the measure of the Communication of the Spirit of CHRIST it remaineth to consider what Use and Application may be made by the Readers of these deep and weighty things that have been here Unvailed In the first place then we are hereby called upon to consider with the deepest humility the efficient Cause and Founder of these Worlds that produced them all out of an Abyssal Deep and an Eternal Nothingness Secondly We are called upon to appropriate to God what is more Immense than Immensity and Greater than all Greatnesses Higher than all Heights Deeper than all Depths Perfecter than all Perfections who maketh his dwelling in an Eternal Circle of Love Power and Wisdom filling all these Worlds with the fulness of his Godhead made manifest in the express Image of his Glory namely in the Second Number of the Three that bear Record in Heaven Thirdly we are excited to consider what we Mortals are from whom our Descent is and what manner of Spirit we consist of and exist by For until we
