TO

,
that
you
may
with
Joy
observe
by
the
forerunning
Signs
of
the
Blessed
Kingdom
,
that

even

hand
;
that
you

lift
up
your
Eyes
and
see
that
the
Fields
are
already
White
unto

Harvest
;
that
you
may
,
with
holy
Boldness
and
Assurance
,
lift

upon

;
Divine
Love

as
true
Members
of

Body

Joy

Pillars

The
Author
was
under
a
strong
Impulse
to
bring
forth
these
Signs
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
had
thoughts
at
first
to
have
added
them
to
the
former
Book
,
The
Ascent
to
the
Mount
of
Vision
.
But
as
the
Spirit
open'd
and
enlarged
upon
the
subject
,
it
was
found
convenient
to
make
a
little
Tract
of
it
by
it self
:
as
also
on
the
Account
of
its
bearing
the
Date
of
another
Year
.
It
may
well
be
expected
upon
the
breaking
forth
of
Wisdom's
Day-Star
from
on
High
,
that
many
New
&
Wonderful
Things
should
be
brought
to
Light
;
which
thro'
the
Darkness
of
the
present
Age
,
its
Prejudices
,
and
Bias
against
the
Truth
in
many
Points
by
received
Opinions
and
long
Establisht
Traditions
of
Men
,
shall
give
a
great
Shock
and
Offence
to
many
;
who
by
thus
confining
themselves
to
the
narrow
compass
of
their
own
Schemes
,
deny
and
dispute
the
entrance
of
every
Truth
that
shall
be
further
open'd
;
and
thereby
shut
the
Door
upon
themselves
:
whereas
those
that
stand
in
an
unbyassed
and
impartial
Spirit
,
might
by
the
free
admission
of
one
Ray
of
Light
,
make
way
still
for
another
,
and
come
to
such
a
prospect
of
an
enlarged
Field
of
Divine
Truth
,
as
should
by
its
orderly
Range
and
Connexion
of
each
part
,
give
an
Evidence
of
it self
far
more
clear
and
sooner
than
can
be
acquired
by
a
long
scrupulous
and
Sceptical
Examination
of
each
Truth
apart
.
The
Writings
of
this
Author
are
full
of
surprizing
Manifestations
of
Divine
Knowledge
,
and
are
chiefly
given
forth
for
the
Children
of
the
Kingdom
,
as
their
Direction
and
Assistance
in
their
Preparation-Work
;
on
which
account
They
are
Recommended
earnestly
to
Their
constant
and
diligent
Study
above
all
others
And
all
that
would
receive
the
Benefit
of
'em
,
are
advised
to
suspend
their
Censures
,
and
pass
over
such
things
as
at
first
sight
they
may
not
be
able
to
receive
;
and
go
on
,
and
draw
together
and
Compare
the
whole
Scheme
of
her
Writings
;
whereby
I
doubt
not
but
there
may
be
easily
discerned
the
Hand
of
God
,
and
the
Conduct
of
the
Divine
Wisdom
therein
.
The
Spirit
of
Wisdom
at
this
Day
calls
aloud
to
all
the
Lovers
of
her
,
that
they
stand
with
open
and
enlarged
Hearts
to
receive
her
Instructions
,
and
learn
her
Secrets
.
She
invites
and
encourages
them
to
proceed
in
the
Quest
and
Knowledge
of
her
:
and
at
every
step
and
advance
they
make
,
she
cries
,
Believest
thou
this
?
thou
shalt
yet
see
g●eater
things
than
these
.
And
to
those
that
shall
thus
freely
admit
her
Doctrine
,
and
obey
her
Discipline
,
her
Intent
is
no
less
than
to
lead
them
on
to
full
Redemption
;
even
the
Recovery
of
their
Lost
and
Faded
State
;
the
opening
and
enjoyment
of
Paradise
upon
the
Earth
again
.
One
of
the
Signs
given
of
the
near
Approach
of
the
Kingdom
of
Power
and
Glory
,
is
,
the
Divisions
and
Contentions
that
will
arise
through
the
Malice
and
Subtilty
of
the
Enemy
among
the
true
Sion-Waiters
,
the
Children
of
the
Kingdom
themselves
;
so
that
the
Father
of
the
Family
will
be
drawn
to
come
himself
and
quiet
them
,
and
set
all
in
due
Order
.
This
Sign
we
have
verifyed
already
;
and
by
the
strong
Drivings
of
the
Holy
Spirit
upon
many
at
this
Time
,
we
conceive
the
good
Hopes
and
Assurance
that
God
is
indeed
drawing
near
to
do
it
;
wherefore
we
would
bestir
our selves
,
and
excite
all
engaged
in
the
same
blessed
Hope
with
us
to
such
a
frame
of
Spirit
,
as
may
be
fit
to
receive
the
God
of
Unity
and
Love
.
For
tho'
the
wrack
the
Enemy
may
make
,
may
hasten
the
Deliverance
,
yet
God
cannot
be
expected
to
manifest
himself
in
the
Power
of
his
Kingdom
,
but
in
such
as
Conquer
and
hold
out
the
Hour
of
Temptation
,
standing
stedfast
in
the
true
Child-like
Simplicity
,
in
Sincerity
and
Love
of
the
Brethren
,
notwithstanding
all
the
Exercises
and
Tryals
they
may
undergo
for
the
Approof
thereof
,
and
in
spight
of
all
the
Stratagems
,
Engins
and
Batteries
of
the
now
Raging
Enemy
to
drive
them
from
it
.
Wherefore
it
has
been
thought
convenient
to
insert
the
following
Perswasive
to
Brotherly
Love
and
Unity
,
drawn
from
a
Compendious
display
of
that
mighty
Increase
of
the
Blessings
of
the
Kingdom
that
are
to
be
brought
forth
by
it
,
and
in
it
;
and
which
are
unhappily
stopt
and
impeded
by
the
contrary
Spirit
.
For
the
Divisions
of
Ruben
there
were
great
Searchings
of
Heart
.
AS
there
is
great
Occasion
of
Rejoicing
in
the
Holy
Powers
of
God
that
are
Moving
among
us
at
this
Day
;
so
it
is
much
to
be
wondred
at
and
lamented
,
that
the
Children
of
the
Kingdom
,
who
are
made
partakers
of
them
,
should
be
so
divided
among
themselves
;
falling
out
,
opposing
,
and
Fighting
one
against
another
;
and
thereby
stopping
the
free
Efflux
of
the
blessed
Spirit
among
them
;
and
Retarding
themselves
the
Kingdom
they
are
waiting
for
the
full
possession
of
.
This
is
one
of
the
Greatest
Artifices
of
the
Enemy
,
to
raise
Contentions
about
Particular
Sentiments
,
to
the
unhappy
breach
of
that
Charity
and
Unity
in
which
they
ought
to
stand
,
overlooking
,
and
bearing
with
,
in
each
other
,
those
things
wherein
they
differ
in
opinion
,
and
studying
and
pursuing
unitedly
,
those
great
and
weighty
things
wherein
they
agree
.
Which
are
the
bringing
forth
the
Image
and
Life
of
Christ
in
themselves
and
others
,
the
carrying
on
the
Work
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
drawing
down
those
mighty
Blessings
,
wherewith
the
Heavens
are
at
this
time
full
teeming
as
it
were
,
and
in
Pain
to
be
deliver'd
and
empty
them
forth
into
our
Bosoms
;
and
calling
to
us
loudly
and
earnestly
,
to
bring
our
Vessels
that
they
may
be
filled
;
yea
to
bring
more
,
to
Unite
our
Vessels
,
that
they
may
be
enlarged
and
multiplyed
;
that
the
Powers
and
Blessings
of
God
may
be
also
multiplied
among
us
.
As
God
is
at
Unity
in
Himself
,
and
also
in
all
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Heavenly
Worlds
,
which
is
the
Compleatment
of
their
Happiness
;
so
he
would
be
likewise
in
us
,
but
that
we
our selves
hinder
it
,
and
as
it
were
tye
up
his
Hands
,
and
Imprison
the
Holy
Power
and
Spirit
within
us
.
God
in
one
would
go
forth
and
meet
himself
in
another
,
and
Unite
them
in
One
both
in
Himself
,
and
in
one
another
:
but
that
the
corrupt
Man
in
us
interposes
by
his
own
Act
,
his
own
Wisdom
,
his
Presumptions
and
his
Prejudices
;
and
disputes
his
Passage
,
and
denys
him
free
Entrance
.
If
the
Bars
were
but
removed
,
how
blessed
and
happy
might
we
be
!
when
every
one
might
freely
open
himself
into
another
in
pure
Union
of
Divine
Love
,
under
the
Conduct
of
the
Holy
Spirit
,
and
really
enlarge
and
dilate
himself
into
a
new
Kingdom
of
Joy
and
Power
in
every
Member
of
Christ
and
Child
of
the
Kingdom
.
Each
one
would
Communicate
his
Talent
to
another
,
and
have
it
doubled
and
redoubled
in
himself
thereby
,
into
as
many
as
he
shall
pour
it
;
and
every
one
possess
the
Talent
and
the
Joy
of
another
in
himself
.
Now
how
Glorious
is
this
Prospect
in
the
Encrease
and
Enlargement
of
the
Kingdom
of
our
Lord
?
wherein
each
one
that
shall
be
added
,
shall
be
given
into
us
,
to
be
enjoy'd
and
possest
as
the
Addition
of
a
new
Kingdom
.
If
even
now
when
two
or
three
of
us
,
or
a
little
Company
meet
together
,
in
an
imperfect
and
low
degree
of
Union
,
and
opening
of
the
Holy
Powers
,
we
cannot
forbear
crying
out
,
How
great
,
how
excellent
,
how
blessed
is
this
Ministration
of
the
Spirit
!
What
shall
we
say
,
or
what
shall
we
think
when
it
shall
come
to
increase
to
Hundreds
,
to
Thousands
,
to
Millions
?
yea
,
how
blessed
beyond
all
thought
or
expression
is
this
Prospect
of
the
Increase
of
the
Dominion
and
Powers
,
and
Joys
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
that
still
more
and
more
in
vast
and
redoubled
Proportions
,
without
limit
and
without
end
,
whether
in
Time
or
in
Eternity
it self
.
Here
is
the
full
Completion
of
what
the
Apostle
describes
,
Ephes
.

Concurrence
in
,
that
Beatifick
Act
that
in
him
unites
the
Deity

Which
will
be
the
full
Answer

that
Prayer
of
our
Lord
,
That
they
all
may
be
one

as
Thou
Father

thou
hast

given

they
may
be

the
Mighty
God
,
[
In
whom
the
Deity
shall
now
exert
it self
,
in
its
mighty
Strength

The
Omnipotence
of
God
now
gloriously
Manifesting
it self
,
for
the
bringing
forth
and
Establishment
of
this
great
Birth
and
Kingdom
.
Wherefore
also
he
is
eminently
call'd
]
the
Everlasting
Father
.
[
For
in
this
last
Ministration
,
the
Eternal
Father
opens
his
Principle
,
and
joins
in
the
Peculiar
Power
,
thereof
,
to
relieve
and
reverse
the
long
Dying
and
Suffering
State
of
Christ
in

Church
to
a
State
of
Glory
and
Triumph
.
And
thus
he
becomes
the
True
Prince
of
Peace
.
[
Putting
an
End
to
the
Bloody
Wars
and
Persecutions
that
have
been
raised
hitherto
against
his
Church
,
whether
by
the
Prince
and
Powers
of
Darkness
,
or
of
this
World
:
Quenching
the
Spirit
of
Strife
and
Division
in
it
:
Pouring
out
the
Spirit
of
Meekness
and
Brotherly
Love
among
all
Nations
,
and
turning
their
Swords
into
Plough-Shares
,
and
their
Spears
into
Pruning-Hooks
:
Reconciling
the
Discord
of
the
Elements
and
all
the
Contrarities
of
Nature
,
so
that
nothing
shall
hurt
or
destroy
in
his
Holy
Mountain
.
Introducing
the
Blessed
and
Peaceable
Reign
of
the
True
Solomon
,
(
whereof
the
former
was
but
a
Type
and
Shadow
)
wherein
shall
be
the
abundant
Increase
and
Plenty
of
all
good
things
;
Riches
both
Spiritual
and
Temporal
;
with
the
highest
Honour
,
Magnificence
and
Glory
:
and
also
Prolongation
of
Life
,
as
in
the
Patriarchial
Age
for
Enjoyment
of
it
.
Which
is
the
Dowry
of
the
Virgin-Wisdom
;
as
it
is
said
,
Length
of
Days
is
in
her
Right
Hand
,
and
in
her
Left
,
Riches
and
Honours
.
For
this
is
the
Reign
wherein
She
manifests
and
gives
her self
;
and
working
with
those
that
possess
her
,
she
orders
all
things
sweetly
and
Harmoniously
,
and
brings
them
into
the
Peaceful
Triumph
and
Joy
of
Concord
and
Love
.
Thus
the
Church
and
Kingdom
of
Christ
on
Earth
is
form'd
after
the
Model
of
that
Above
;
and
that
Prayer
of
our
Lord
so
earnestly
and
constantly
offered
by
his
Church
answered
by
the
Father
in
its
full
extent
:
That
His
Kingdom
come
,
and
His
Will
be
done
on
Earth
as
it
is
in
Heaven
.
Where
its
Peace
is
the
Entire
Repose
of
the
Bride
in
the
Bosom
of
Her
Lord
,
enjoying
the
Eternal
Stillness
of
the
Deity
,
and
Dying
as
it
were
out
of
her self
into
God
.
]
Then
it
follows
,
Of
the
Increase
of
his
Government
&
Peace
there
shall
be
no
End.
[
It
shall
Increase
till
all
Nations
shall
be
brought
into
it
,
and
when
the
corrupt
and
Fleshly
Births
every
where
shall
cease
,
it
shall
be
multiplied
by
Angelical
Generation
only
:
and
that
to
Infinity
.
It
shall
increase
in
every
Particular
Member
to
a
boundless
Empire
and
Dominion
in
it self
,
each
one
possessing
a
new
created
World
and
Paradise
in
himself
:
His
Immanuel
dwelling
in
Him
,
centrally
,
as
in
Microcosm
:
So
also
by
the
Increase
or
Manifestation
of
God
in
the
Whole
,
circumferentially
,
as
in
Macrocosm
:
through
the
Eternal
Impregnation
of
the
whole
Virgin-Body
from
and
with
all
the
various
Powers
of
the
Deity
.
]
And
this
in
and
upon
the
Throne
and
Kingdom
of
David
to
order
it
,
and
to
establish
it
with
Judgment
and
with
Justice
from
henceforth
even
for
ever
.
[
The
Concurrence
of
the
Father's
Power
and
Kingdom
with
the
Son's
,
will
be
the
Uniting
of
the
two
Reigns
of
David
and
of
Solomon
into
One
.
The
Invincible
Might
of
the
Former
subduing
all
Enemies
,
and
bringing
forth
Judgment
unto
Victory
,
concurs
with
the
Righteousness
and
Beauty
of
Holiness
in
the
Latter
for
its
Manifestation
and
Triumph
;
its
Fixation
and
Establishment
for
ever
.
]
The
Zeal
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
will
perform
This
.
[
The
severe
earnest
All-powerful
,
all-active
Fire
of
the
Father
,
united
and
manifested
in
the
Meek
Love-Flame
of
the
Son
,
proceeding
and
issuing
forth
together
in
the
Fiery
Baptism
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
the
whole
Trinity
as
it
were
concentring
their
Power
and
Influence
in
this
Third
and
last
Ministration
,
will
Gloriously
,
Triumphantly
,
and
speedily
bring
all
these
Wonders
to
their
Accomplishment
.
His
own
Arm
will
bring
forth
this
mighty
Salvation
and
total
Redemption
;
for
the
Honour
of
his
great
Name
alone
.
]
This
is
the
Kingdom
,
Blessing
and
Joy
that
our
good
God
is
moving
in
the
Powers
of
his
Spirit
to
bring
down
and
open
among
us
,
and
so
derive
it
to
the
whole
Church
;
yea
,
the
whole
Creation
,
which
is
groaning
and
travailing
in
pain
even
until
now
;
waiting
for
this
Manifestation
of
the
Sons
of
God
:
which
now
sticks
in
the
Birth
,
and
calls
aloud
for
the
unanimous
Consent
and
Concurrence
in
the
Strength
of
Divine
Love
,
to
bring
it
forth
.
O
who
among
the
Sion-Waiters
would
not
be
ashamed
&
grieved
at
the
thought
of
being
any
way
Instrumental
themselves
in
the
unhappy
Prevention
or
Procrastination
of
it
?
or
who
would
not
upon
the
nearer
view
and
Prospect
of
such
inestimable
Blessings
immediately
discard
every
the
least
motion
that
shall
tend
to
Strife
,
Disunity
,
or
Alienation
of
Love
?
but
rather
concur
with
all
their
Might
in
Unity
of
Spirit
to
increase
the
Little
strength
of
Philadelphia
,
for
the
bringing
forth
the
Man-child
of
Power
,
the
Son
of
Mirth
and
Joy
,
of
Peace
and
Consolation
to
the
whole
Creation
of
God
.
If
there
were
among
the
Apostles
of
Christ
Contentions
and
Disputes
,
and
that
from
the
Evil
Root
of
Self-Love
,
Emulation
and
Pride
,
striving
who
should
be
greatest
in
his
Kingdom
;
it
need
less
be
wondred
at
,
if
among
the
Candidate-Disciples
for
the
Triumphant
Kingdom
,
there
should
be
found
the
like
Spirit
of
Ambition
and
Emulation
,
and
a
Jealous
Eye
in
some
upon
the
Gifts
and
Favours
bestowed
on
others
;
and
thence
through
the
violent
Temptation
of
●he
Enemy
at
this
day
,
proceeding
to
Variance
and
Disaffection
,
and
an
untying
of
the
Holy
Band
of
Love
.
But
as
our
Lord
,
by
an
Excellent
Document
,
set
a
little
Child
in
the
middst
of
his
Disciples
to
reprove
and
teach
them
:
So
here
must
principally
be
recommended
,
and
by
all
means
laboured
after
for
attainment
of
it
,
the
true
Child-like
Spirit
;
which
is
meek
,
humble
,
peaceable
,
obedient
,
patient
and
modest
,
submissive
,
and
resigned
to
the
Will
of
its
Father
in
all
things
;
we
must
have
no
Will
or
Desire
of
our
own
,
no
opinion
of
our
own
Gifts
or
Wisdom
,
no
evil
Eye
upon
,
or
too
forward
censure
of
the
Gift
of
another
;
but
delight
to
see
'em
displaid
for
the
Honour
of
God
,
tho'
it
be
in
others
more
than
our selves
.
Here
must
be
no
Self-Appropriation
;
the
very
Root
of
Self
must
be
removed
:
for
the
Blessings
of
the
Kingdom
are
not
to
be
enjoyed
in
Propriety
,
but
in
Community
.
Here
instead
of
striving
to
be
the
greatest
,
those
that
are
highest
and
enjoy
most
,
must
be
the
least
,
and
Servants
to
the
other
:
communicating
freely
all
they
have
to
make
it
theirs
as
well
as
their
own
.
This
is
the
true
generous
and
Christian
Spirit
,
which
according
to
the
nature
of
Love
,
overlooks
,
forgets
,
and
goes
out
of
its
self
,
into
that
which
it
Loves
;
and
that
is
it
's
God
,
and
it
's
Brethren
.
This
as
we
shall
be
found
in
,
we
shall
truely
approve
our selves
in
the
Relation
we
profess
to
bear
to
that
Glorious
Philadelphian
Church
which
is
to
arise
:
and
not
only
bear
the
outward
Name
thereof
,
but
also
it
s
inward
Signature
in
our
Hearts
,
and
shew
forth
its
lively
Impress
in
our
Conversation
and
Actions
:
which
will
prove
the
most
Powerful
and
Effectual
Perswasive
to
others
;
and
cause
our
Light
indeed
so
to
shine
before
Men
[
in
the
Brightness
of
the
Holy
Flame
of
Charity
and
Love
]
that
they
seeing
our
good
Works
,
may
glorifie
our
Father
which
is
in
Heaven
,
and
acknowledge
the
Handywork
and
Presence
of
his
holy
Spirit
in
us
.
For
this
,
O
ye
Chosen
and
Beloved
Ones
,
let
the
Spirit
of
Supplication
evermore
ascend
,
and
wrestle
till
as
Princes
ye
prevail
with
God
;
and
the
Everlasting
Day
dawn
upon
you
.
Ye
that
make
[
such
Glorious
]
mention
of
the
Name
[
and
Kingdom
]
of
the
Lord
,
keep
not
Silence
,
give
him
no
Rest
until
he
make
Jerusalem
a
Praise
upon

Earth
:
till
the
New
Jerusalem
descend
from
Heaven
,
and
the
Church
Militant
become
one
with
the
Church
Triumphant
,
and
both
together
sing
the
Song
of
Victory
:
Blessing
,
and
Honour
,
and
Glory
,
and
Power

given
unto
Him
that
sitteth
upon

Throne

§
.
I.
AS
I
was
in
Contemplation
and
Recollection
of
the
Manifold
Counsel
and
Wisdom
of
God
,
that
had
made
obvious
many
Secerts
,
relating
to
the
new
State
of
the
Restoration
,
which
has
been
so
fully
made
publick
,
in
what
has
gone
forth
of
this
kind
,
according
to
the
Will
of
God
:
Who
did
move
Worthy
and
Spiritual
Persons
to
assist
at
their
own
Cost
and
Charge
,
to
bring
them
to
light
;
as
believing
that
such
an
Age
was
coming
on
,
in
which
that
Prophecy
might
be
fulfill'd
,
That
the
Earth
should
be
fill'd
with
the
knowledge
of
the
Lord
,
from
the
Inundation
of
those
Sanctuary-Waters
,
which
shall
cover
the
Earth
with
wisdom
and
understanding
,
in
the
deep
Mysteries
of
God
.
For
the
confirmation
of
this
a
fresh
Manifestation
was
given
me
,
by
the
appearance
of
a
Head
that
was
all
as
of
Fine
Gold
transparent
,
with
a
pair
of
Wings
only
joining
to
it
.
Under
each
of
which
Wings
,
there
were
seven
Eyes
all
fiery
and
piercing
.
Upon
which
this
first
Salutation
greeted
me
,
saying
,
Tho'
thy
corporeal
Eyes
be
Dim
,
these
Eyes
are
come
to
make
up
that
Impediment
,
whose
Properties
to
thee
shall
be
into
the
Worlds
and
Regions
to
see
that
to
mortal
sight
all
hidden
be
.
Then
Immediately
I
felt
as
if
this
Head
and
Wings
did
clasp
themselves
about
the
Vital
part
of
my
Heart
.
From
whence
it
was
said
,
The
pure
in
Heart
should
be
all
seeing
;
and
the
Ears
fixed
in
the
Golden
Head
should
become
the
true
Hearing
.
§
.
II
.
The
experience
whereof
was
known
;
for
presently
the
Eternal
Light-World
appear'd
and
surrounded
me
,
where
I
saw
the
High
Throne-Dominions
,
Principalities
and
Powers
,
all
paying
their
Homage
and
High
Praises
to
their
Kingly
Redeemer
.
It
was
said
to
me
,
behold
and
see
the
Bessed
Order
and
Government
that
is
managed
here
,
by
the
supreme
Soveraign
.
All
were
ranked
according
to
their
order
and
degree
in
various
Circles
about
the
Throne
,
rejoicing
together
in
a
Melodious
Harmony
.
And
it
was
said
to
me
,
that
these
great
Elders
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Mount-Sion
World
did
frequently
descend
into
the
Paradisical
World
,
to
them
that
were
of
a
lower
degree
,
bringing
down
Commission
and
Manuduction
for
what
they
were
further
to
know
,
and
advance
up
to
;
and
such
as
were
of
the
highest
station
in
this
Paradisical
World
,
were
assigned
to
bring
the
Lower
up
to
a
more
eminent
Degree
,
to
pay
their
Worship
to
great
Elohim
,
and
to
him
that
had
thus
far
redeemed
them
.
So
by
all
this
it
was
made
known
that
the
Heavenly
Worlds
are
put
into
such
a
Constitution
and
Method
,
as
that
the
Inferiour
are
under
the
Government
of
the
Superiour
:
and
that
according
to
what
they
had
wrought
out
in
nearer
Conformity
to
Christ
in
this
Life
,
so
they
had
their
Preheminence
in
their
Seperate
State
.
§
.
III
.
Therefore
a
Warning
was
given
herefrom
,
that
the
Great
Ones
that
are
in
honour
and
fulness
of
all
things
,
and
in
great
Power
and
Dominions
in
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
,
do
labour
to
be
born
into
the
Heavenly
Principle
and
Light
World
,
and
become
truly
dignified
with
Christ
their
Prince
of
Life
;
and
as
they
shall
imploy
all
their
Interest
and
Power
,
Riches
and
Honour
,
for
the
lifting
up
the
Standard
of
Christ's
Kingdom
here
on
Earth
,
so
shall
they
come
to
hold
a
State
of
Honour
and
Dominion
in
the
next
Life
;
otherwise
they
will
find
themselves
subjected
under
such
as
were
contemptible
here
,
but
Heirs
of
Faith
.
For
be
it
known
,
God
is
no
partial
Judge
to
respect
any
:
but
such
as
bear
his
own
Similitude
and
Likeness
,
they
shall
have
the
Greatest
Preferment
and
Honour
in
his
Courts
.
God
grant
this
may
be
a
seasonable
Call
to
the
Potentates
of
the
Earth
;
that
they
bringing
their
Glory
into
the
City
of
God
,
may
there
as
Kings
Reign
with
Christ
their
Head
.
§
.
IV
.
Now
I
must
not
omit
another
Degree
and
Rank
of
Spirits
,
which
when
they
pass
out
of
the
Body
in
an
imperfect
Mixt
State
,
reach
no
further
than
the
Airy
Region
,
or
Astral
Kingdom
,
which
Millions
of
Souls
do
pass
into
,
that
are
in
a
restless
state
,
aiming
at
somewhat
that
may
suit
with
the
Immortality
of
their
Beings
.
For
which
the
kind
and
loving
Saviour
has
made
also
Provision
,
and
has
condescended
to
commissionate
Spirits
from
the
Paradisical
Region
frequently
to
minister
to
them
,
to
instruct
and
exhort
,
and
make
out
the
large
extent
of
Christ's
Purchase
for
them
,
that
they
may
gradually
by
taking
in
the
Faith
of
it
,
come
out
of
their
uneasie
Confinement
there
.
By
all
which
appears
the
Immense
Goodness
and
Love
of
the
Creator
to
his
apostatized
and
lapsed
Creatures
:
setting
forth
the
blessed
Rewards
and
high
Prerogatives
to
them
that
are
of
the
first
Fruits
of
the
Restoration
,
and
the
suffering
and
loss
of
those
that
have
loiter'd
and
neglected
the
Prize
put
into
their
Hands
during
the
time
of
their
living
in
this
Body
.
§
.
V.
Now
it
remains
further
to
be
declared
what
has
been
seen
by
the
Cherubim's
Eye
,
that
runs
up
and
down
both
in
the
higher
and
lower
Spheres
,
viz.
that
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lamb
so
many
hundreds
of
Years
prophesied
of
,
is
drawing
now
very
near
;
for
the
fixth
Angel
has
already
sounded
his
Trumpet
,
in
order
to
preparation
,
that
the
slain
Witnesses
might
rise
,
and
appear
as
the
two
Olive-Trees
,
that
they
may
plentifully
drop
their
holy
and
pure
Golden
Grain
,
which
shall
rise
up
to
a
mighty
Priestly
Anointed
Host
,
into
whose
Hands
shall
be
given
the
Rule
and
Government
of
the
Earth
,
according
to
the
Pattern
that
was
before
described
,
as
to
the
Ruling
Power
and
Government
of
Christ
the
Lord
in
his
Kingdoms
there
:
So
must
it
be
in
the
lower
parts
of
the
Earth
accomplished
.
This
has
been
exercised
in
its
Power
and
Might
only
in
the
Heavens
hitherto
,
by
the
uncontroulable
Soveraignty
of
Christ
,
who
has
suffered
himself
to
be
exposed
in
the
Members
of
his
Body
here
on
Earth
,
that
have
lain
in
great
impotency
and
reproach
under
the
Reign
of
the
Beast
and
the
Dragon
:
till
the
Man
of
Sin
shall
be
fully
revealed
,
and
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
wrought
out
;
then
expect
we
may
to
hear
the
S●venth
Angel
sound
his
Trumpet
,
whereby
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
may
come
to
their
Period
,
as
to
their
vain
Pomp
and
Oppressive
Powers
,
which
the
whole
Creation
so
long
hath
groaned
under
:
The
cry
of
which
burden'd
and
imbondaged
state
has
●scended
up
,
and
pierced
the
very
Heart
of
him
who
is
the
Restorer
and
Deliverer
out
of
all
Babylonish
Confusion
.
§
.
VI
.
Now
the
Grounds
and
Motives
for
this
glorious
R●demption
are
that
Honour
,
Valuation
and
Efficacy
that
is
put
upon
this
Eternal
Word
that
was
made
Flesh
,
that
he
may
repair
all
the
Ruins
and
Desolations
that
came
in
by
the
Fall
:
For
the
which
God
in
his
Wisdom
has
propounded
to
himself
a
known
and
seasonable
time
,
for
the
Finishing
of
all
Miseries
and
Calamities
,
for
which
the
Line
of
Time
is
now
far
spent
,
and
the
Scenes
of
turbulent
Commotions
will
have
their
pass
away
,
as
the
great
Angel
shall
come
to
set
his
Feet
,
one
upon
the
Sea
,
and
the
other
upon
the
Earth
.
Then
a
mighty
calm
and
quietness
among
the
Earthly
Inhabitants
will
be
:
for
the
Powers
of
Eternity
will
make
their
descent
into
Time
among
such
sanctified
prepared
Souls
,
who
shall
be
marked
,
and
sealed
with
the
Father's
Name
of
Power
,
which
Name
signifies
no
less
than
the
Restoring
Eternal
Nature
to
bring
forth
the
Similitude
of
God
as
it
was
in
the
beginning
:
then
the
Kingdom
and
Dominion
that
Adam
was
deposed
from
,
will
be
repossessed
again
.
§
.
VII
.
Upon
consideration
hereof
,
the
Groanings
and
Sighings
of
my
Spirit
,
did
move
a
Query
in
me
to
my
Lord
,
Why
such
a
prolonging
and
expence
of
time
has
run
out
,
and
no
visible
Appearance
of
this
neither
before
his
appearing
in
the
Flesh
nor
since
,
as
to
such
a
return
back
,
again
to
the
State
that
Adam
lost
,
tho
the
Prophesies
and
P●omises
have
run
in
such
hopeful
expectation
here
for
?
And
it
was
Answered
,
that
there
was
a
deep
and
hidden
cause
for
it
,
why
so
many
Generations
should
pass
away
in
this
visible
Principle
under
the
mortal
Sufferings
and
Death
,
till
the
Number-Roll
in
the
Court
of
Heaven
was
fulfill'd
,
and
the
Mystery
finisht
of
the
Time
for
filling
up
the
other
Mansions
of
Separated
Souls
.
Which
when
come
to
that
limited
Point
,
a
Turn
and
Revolution
will
then
soon
follow
upon
the
Inhabitants
of
this
visible
Earth
,
that
are
reserved
to
this
latter
Age
of
time
:
Whereby
a
new
Model
shall
be
brought
in
,
that
shall
resemble
the
Heavenly
World
above
.
Setting
up
a
Mo●narchical
Soveraignty
that
shall
Rule
over
all
Nations
,
by
a
Rod
of
Power
in
the
hand
of
such
as
shall
be
found
in
the
Spirit
of
Moses
and
Elias
,
David
and
Daniel
,
which
shall
multiply
in
this
day
of
Christ's
Kingdom
numerously
.
For
this
I
heard
mighty
Rojoicing
and
Triumphant
Sounds
in
the
Heavens
,
that
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lamb
was
upon
its
descent
down
into
the
Earth
:
And
therefore
warning
is
given
to
those
that
believe
and
love
the
Appearance
hereof
,
to
keep
their
Eye
steddily
up
to
the
Heavens
,
for
this
Glory
to
open
and
spread
it self
upon
the
dark
Earth
.
§
.
VIII
.
But
here
is
an
Objection
further
to
be
Answered
.
That
it
was
thought
near
to
be
reveal'd
in
the
Apostolical
Age
;
and
so
on
in
the
Centuries
following
.
But
it
was
the
pleasure
of
the
Divine
Wisdom
to
conceal
from
the
Worthy
as
well
as
the
Unworthy
,
the
Believing
as
well
as
the
Unbelieving
,
any
set
and
determinate
Time
and
Season
:
Yet
thus
far
is
given
to
calculate
the
Time
very
near
by
the
forgoing
Signs
.
Concerning
the
which
some
particulars
have
been
made
known
to
me
,
foreshewing
that
Christ's
Kingdom
is
near
.
§
.
IX
.
Now
as
there
were
Signs
literally
given
by
Christ
of
his
Coming
,
in
his
Kingly
Power
,
which
had
its
First
accomplishment
,
in
his
coming
to
deliver
his
persecuted
and
oppressed
Ones
,
and
bringing
down
severe
Judgments
upon
his
and
their
Enemies
,
as
in
the
Destruction
of
the
Jews
:
So
now
it
turns
into
that
which
is
more
Spiritual
and
Internal
.
For
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
does
work
after
various
ways
and
manners
,
in
the
Commotions
of
various
Kingdoms
:
as
First
the
Kingdom
of
the
Beast
,
which
consists
in
sensual
pleasures
,
and
Worldly
advantages
,
stretching
themselves
upon
their
Ivory
Beds
,
not
only
neglecting
and
disregarding
;
but
opposing
the
Spiritual
Kingdom
,
for
fear
it
should
supplant
them
of
their
transient
and
temporary
Kingdom
.
And
that
this
Supineness
in
Pleasure
,
and
Voluptuousness
,
which
do
reign
now
so
Universally
at
this
Day
,
in
a
more
than
ordnary
Manner
,
is
indeed
a
Sign
of
the
near
Approach
of
the
Overthrowing
of
the
Kingdom
of
this
Antichristian
Beast
,
may
very
well
be
hop'd
:
yea
there
can
be
no
manner
of
doubt
made
hereof
by
them
,
who
are
wise
to
search
into
the
Calendar
of
former
Ages
,
or
who
have
but
an
Ear
open
to
hear
and
receive
what
by
Truth's
Infallible
Oracle
it self
deliver'd
hath
been
.
For
as
the
Days
Noah
were
,
so
shall
also
this
Coming
of
the
Son
of
Man
,
be
to
destroy
and
overturn
the
whole
Bestial
Kingdom
.
They
did
eat
,
(
and
Feast
)
they
drank
,
they
Married
Wives
,
they
were
given
in
Marriage
,
and
went
on
secure
and
unmov'd
in
their
Voluptuous
Courses
,
(
notwithstanding
the
Warnings
given
,
and
Preaching
of
Repentance
for
above
an
hundred
Years
,
)
until
the
very
day
that
he
entred
into
the
Ark
:
And
they
knew
not
until
the
Flood
came
,
and
took
them
all
away
,
destroying
them
all
.
Likewise
also
it
was
in
the
days
of
Lot
,
they
were
Feasting
and
making
Merry
,
Buying
and
Selling
,
Planting
and
Building
;
till
a
sudden
destruction
overtook
them
out
of
Heaven
.
Now
even
thus
it
is
to
be
,
for
certainty
in
the
day
when
Christ
shall
be
revealed
,
for
Salvation
to
them
that
wait
for
this
his
Appearance
;
but
for
Confusion
and
Desolation
to
the
Unbelievers
and
Disobedient
,
and
all
that
have
the
Beast's
Mark
,
and
that
worship
his
Golden
Image
.
This
is
the
first
sort
of
Fore-runners
.
§
.
X.
The
Second
is
under
the
Dragon
's
Regency
,
who
does
assume
and
take
up
persons
in
a
particular
manner
in
This
day
,
and
vaunt
himself
very
high
with
great
Arrogancy
,
Persecuting
and
spuing
out
his
Fury
most
impudently
against
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
:
this
is
also
a
forerunning
Sign
.
§
.
XI
.
There
is
another
sort
of
Persons
that
are
very
serious
and
pious
,
according
to
their
present
understanding
,
but
cannot
bear
any
Spiritual
Dispensation
,
that
might
prepare
for
the
Reign
of
Christ
:
as
coming
contrary
to
their
Expectations
,
and
Traditions
.
This
sort
being
repugnant
and
opposite
to
all
that
may
,
in
an
extraordinary
way
,
be
appropriated
to
the
Spirit
of
Wisdom
,
and
Revelation
breaking
out
at
this
Day
.
Now
upon
the
Spiritual
Ministration
at
this
time
opening
,
these
are
more
stir'd
up
,
and
awaken'd
as
the
Righteous
Jews
,
and
Pharisees
,
who
did
Ignorantly
in
their
day
deny
the
Appearance
of
God
in
the
Humanity
of
Christ
;
so
these
after
the
same
manner
out
of
an
ignorant
Zeal
would
persecute
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
in
his
Resurrection
,
in
Spirit
,
in
the
Children
of
the
Kingdom
:
of
which
sort
there
will
be
found
a
great
spreading
,
and
high
swelling
before
the
Coming
of
Christ's
Kingdom
.
§
.
XII
.
There
is
a
Fourth
sort
that
do
suddenly
expect
the
Personal
Glorious
Reign
of
Christ
,
before
he
has
accomplished
his
preparatory
Reign
in
Spirit
.
These
raise
a
mighty
Cry
in
the
World
:
but
are
too
hasty
to
fetch
down
Christ
,
before
he
has
a
Church
and
Bride
prepared
for
him
.
Such
as
stand
gazing
here
must
frequently
be
frustrated
of
their
Expectations
.
Another
Sign
will
be
,
that
by
and
through
the
opening
of
the
Living
Testimony
,
which
Proclaims
the
Approach
of
Christ's
Kingdom
.
And
which
shall
be
Guarded
and
Fenced
with
such
Power
and
Authority
from
the
Holy
Ghost
,
as
shall
convince
and
invite
the
Monarchs
and
Nobles
of
the
Earth
to
hearken
thereto
,
and
look
into
the
deep
Mysteries
relating
to
it
,
and
preparing
for
it
;
by
whose
Countenancing
and
improving
all
their
power
to
Promote
this
Super-eminent
Kingdom
,
they
will
be
great
Presidents
and
Leaders
to
their
Subjects
.
Hereby
also
there
will
be
mighty
stirring
for
the
bringing
in
of
the
Scatter'd
Tribes
of
Israel
,
that
will
begin
to
come
in
at
the
Hearing
of
this
Joyful
Sound
,
to
give
a
Resurrection
out
of
their
Deadness
in
Unbelief
,
which
will
be
Marvellous
and
Wonderful
.
§
.
XIII
.
There
is
another
sort
that
may
have
hit
the
right
Mark
,
and
do
profess
and
own
the
Regency
and
Dispensation
of
Christ
in
his
Spirit
,
that
are
promoters
of
it
,
and
avouching
themselves
to
be
under
the
Teachings
and
Leadings
of
it
,
but
these
must
not
pass
without
being
weigh'd
according
to
the
Ballance
of
the
Sanctuary
.
These
are
such
as
have
sprung
up
too
quick
,
and
suddenly
,
in
the
true
Light
,
and
Notion
of
it
:
But
have
not
taken
deep
Root
from
the
Central
Wheel
,
and
Essence
of
Christ
the
Eternal
Word
in
themselves
.
Among
such
there
will
be
a
mighty
shaking
,
and
falling
away
,
in
the
time
of
Tryal
and
Probation
.
And
among
these
will
great
Subtilty
and
Treachery
of
Spirit
be
found
,
against
those
of
the
same
Profession
and
Alliance
with
them
,
even
to
the
betraying
of
the
Spiritual
Life
;
which
is
a
Stratagem
of
the
Serpent
more
subtil
to
hurt
than
any
other
.
Of
this
too
doleful
an
appearance
there
is
at
this
time
,
which
Cries
for
Vengeance
against
those
Satanical
Powers
,
who
have
thus
craftily
crept
into
the
minds
of
those
that
were
enlightned
,
and
had
tasted
of
the
Heavenly
Gift
.
§
.
XIV
.
Now
all
these
Signs
being
Amplified
and
made
good
at
this
time
,
do
certainly
presage
,
that
the
Kingdom
and
Dominion
to
the
Daughter
of
Sion
is
drawing
near
:
which
will
Constitute
the
Seventh
Order
,
which
consisteth
of
such
Choice
and
Virgi●
Minds
,
in
whom
there
shall
be
found
no
Guile
,
who
have
passed
through
the
Probation-State
,
and
have
possest
the
Conquering
Bow
of
Faith
to
that
Degree
,
that
Strong
they
are
to
go
on
in
an
overcoming
might
:
whereby
they
put
all
opposing
Powers
,
whether
in
invisible
dark
Regions
or
in
the
visible
and
temporary
,
to
flight
.
§
.
XV
.
Now
it
remains
that
the
Government
,
and
Power
,
and
Dominion
of
the
Kingdom
,
will
rest
upon
such
a
select
Number
,
who
have
first
passed
through
great
Tribulations
,
for
the
Witness
and
Testimony
of
the
expected
Reign
of
the
Spirit
.
Which
being
kept
yet
in
suspence
and
delay
,
does
awaken
a
mighty
Cry
,
and
ardent
and
vehement
intercedings
among
the
Sanctuary-Waiters
and
Worshippers
.
Which
has
entred
and
deeply
pierced
,
the
Heart
of
him
that
is
to
descend
as
the
mighty
Saviour
and
Deliverer
.
Insomuch
that
there
was
heard
from
the
Heavens
a
Voice
saying
,
Behold
I
come
;
with
a
full
Recompence
of
Reward
to
the
Patient
Waiters
and
Holders
out
in
this
Hour
of
Probation
:
Yet
a
little
while
,
and
the
Judgment
shall
sit
,
and
the
Decision
be
given
;
for
there
shall
be
a
Sealing
go
forth
in
the
Fathers
Name
,
and
my
Name
,
and
the
Holy
Ghosts
that
shall
be
the
true
Living
Draught
drawn
,
that
shall
put
an
end
to
all
Prophetical
worded
Testimonies
,
turning
them
into
pure
Act
and
Power
.
This
was
the
joyful
Sound
,
heard
from
the
Throne
and
Kingdom
of
the
Lamb
,
which
gave
also
further
intimation
,
whereby
it
should
be
known
by
some
following
Signs
,
in
whom
the
Kingdom
of
God
should
first
appear
:
At
first
invisible
and
internal
,
and
afterwards
visible
and
external
.
This
will
be
in
such
qualified
Persons
as
have
been
separated
,
and
call'd
out
of
this
Worldly
Principle
,
to
see
to
the
ends
of
their
own
Earth
,
and
their
Sun
,
Moon
and
Stars
of
the
Rational
and
Sensitive
Life
,
that
Ruled
and
Governed
in
the
Earthly
part
,
to
be
darken'd
,
and
fall
away
.
This
is
an
evident
Sign
that
the
true
Sun
of
Glory
will
break
forth
,
and
enlighten
the
whole
inward
Heavens
and
Earth
in
Man
.
Thus
he
will
set
footing
in
the
inward
Ground
of
the
Heart
,
that
it
may
be
his
Throne-Habitation
,
there
to
Reign
till
we
subdue
every
thought
and
motion
made
subject
to
him
.
Then
shall
the
Heavens
and
Earth
,
in
the
new
Creature
,
rejoice
,
that
the
King
of
Glory
has
taken
to
him
his
great
Power
to
Reign
,
Internally
in
the
Omnipotence
of
his
Spirit
.
§
.
XVI
.
As
it
is
thus
Invisibly
made
manifest
,
so
it
will
dilate
it self
also
and
spread
into
a
Visible
Kingdom
.
And
there
are
seven
Visible
Signs
that
will
make
out
the
Dominion
and
Kingdom
,
in
it
's
first
Appearance
,
in
what
Persons
soever
it
shall
open
.
The
First
is
the
Dying
Marks
.
Whereby
they
are
throughly
Slain
and
Crucified
,
to
the
Love
of
all
Inferiour
things
,
appertaining
to
this
Earthly
Principle
and
Kingdom
.
§
.
XVII
.
The
Second
Sign
is
,
that
as
there
has
been
a
sowing
into
the
Death
and
perfect
Crucifixion
:
so
it
Rises
,
and
becomes
a
Resurrection-Plant
in
the
Love-Principle
and
Light-Kingdom
:
where
is
all
Liberty
,
Power
and
Might
to
act
and
do
Visibly
,
according
to
the
Property
of
Christ's
Resurrection-Life
.
There
is
nothing
of
the
Worldly
Principle
can
any
more
touch
,
or
bind
them
down
,
b●ing
Translated
from
out
of
the
Power
and
Dominion
of
the
Satanical
Kingdom
.
§
.
XVIII
.
The
Third
Sign
that
does
follow
is
the
Marks
of
the
Ascension
into
those
goodly
Tents
,
which
Christ
the
Kingly
Shepherd
has
pitched
for
them
near
himself
:
where
they
may
have
free
,
and
immediate
recourse
to
him
,
and
he
to
them
:
receiving
the
impression
and
Similitude
of
their
Lord
,
as
having
such
Relation
to
him
,
by
standing
so
near
his
Glorified
Figure
.
§
.
XIX
.
The
Fourth
Sign
is
their
being
constituted
and
deputed
,
by
virtue
of
the
Mission
and
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
to
bear
Rule
and
Government
over
the
Starry
Constellations
,
and
Earthly
Elements
,
as
to
their
Malignant
hurtfulness
:
so
as
that
no
Destructions
or
wounding
Weapons
can
here
enter
;
because
they
are
incircled
with
the
Eternal
burning
Element
of
God
himself
,
that
will
devour
all
pricking
Thorns
and
Briars
,
that
shall
spring
up
,
and
set
themselves
against
them
:
but
must
turn
to
Dust
and
Ashes
before
them
.
§
.
XX
.
The
Fifth
Sign
is
the
opening
the
mighty
Spring
of
the
Spirit
of
Faith
that
shall
Rise
,
and
Conquer
all
selfreasoning
,
so
as
not
to
admit
of
any
Doubt
,
or
Staggering
,
but
make
its
pass
in
a
strait
line
up
to
the
Glorified
Jesus
,
as
he
is
invested
with
all
Power
,
as
well
in
the
lower
Regions
as
in
the
upper
:
And
so
unite
with
that
powerful
Name
Alpha
and
Omega
.
Which
Faith
in
this
great
Name
must
produce
those
mighty
Works
and
Deeds
,
mention'd
by
our
Lord
after
his
Resurrection
,
as
the
Signs
that
shall
follow
them
that
believe
.
In
my
Name
shall
they
cast
out
Devils
,
they
shall
speak
with
new
Tongues
,
they
shall
take
up
Serpents
,
and
if
they
drink
any
deadly
thing
,
it
shall
not
hurt
them
.
They
shall
lay
their
Hands
on
the
Sick
,
and
they
shall
recover
.
Now
by
vertue
of
these
mighty
acting
Powers
,
Redemption
will
be
wrought
out
;
setting
free
from
the
Burdens
and
Oppressions
,
Penuries
,
Maladies
,
and
other
Miseries
that
the
whole
Creation
for
so
many
Ages
hath
groaned
under
.
From
whence
no
deliverance
can
be
till
these
Resurrection-Powers
can
come
down
,
to
rest
upon
those
who
are
to
be
the
first
risen
Witnesses
hereof
.
§
.
XXI
.
The
Sixth
Sign
will
be
the
great
amazing
Wonder
of
all
appearances
that
yet
have
been
.
Which
is
that
a
New
Paradise
shall
again
spring
in
the
midst
of
this
worldly
Babylonish
Principle
.
The
Rosie
and
Lilly
Plants
will
here
lift
up
their
Heads
,
as
being
installed
again
in
their
own
native
Kingdom
:
which
it
is
the
good
Will
and
Pleasure
of
their
Father
,
to
restore
to
them
,
the
rich
Dowries
out
of
Wisdom's
Bank
and
Store-house
,
which
never
was
open'd
before
.
Commanders
they
shall
be
,
both
of
what
in
the
Upper
World
and
in
this
Nether
needful
is
.
No
need
of
taking
thought
for
this
or
that
,
that
belongs
to
the
outward
bodily
State
:
For
it
will
be
given
them
as
they
stand
united
with
Christ
their
Head
to
possess
the
Earth
,
and
to
inherit
all
things
.
§
.
XXII
.
The
Seventh
Sign
is
putting
on
Transfiguration
,
which
will
be
accompanied
with
the
Descent
and
Appearance
of
Christ
in
them
,
in
his
glorified
Figure
.
By
the
glance
of
which
Glory
transformed
they
are
into
the
express
Image
of
his
bright
Body
.
To
this
prepared
Spouse
a
Voice
was
heard
,
saying
,
Arise
:
Shine
;
for
thy
Light
is
come
,
and
the
Glory
of
thy
Bridegroom
is
now
become
thy
Covering
.
The
Marriage
here
will
consummated
be
from
the
High-Throne
Majesty
,
who
giveth
his
full
concurrence
hereunto
.
Now
what
may
less
expected
be
from
this
Matrimonial
Unity
,
but
such
an
Offspring
and
new
Creation
of
Spirits
that
may
be
all
pure
and
perfect
,
as
was
designed
by
the
Father
of
Eternity
,
to
bring
forth
after
his
own
Similitude
before
Adams
fall
.
Which
purpose
of
God
could
never
be
made
void
:
tho'
a
stop
was
permitted
to
be
put
to
it
for
a
while
,
for
the
bringing
forth
the
manifold
Wisdom
,
and
Wonders
of
God
,
transcendently
by
him
,
who
was
from
Eternal
Generation
the
Son
of
God
.
By
whom
all
that
was
lasped
was
to
be
repaired
again
to
far
greater
advantage
;
which
in
the
concluding
part
of
all
Secrets
will
be
made
manifest
.
For
admiration
and
astonishment
to
all
throughout
the
whole
Universe
of
God's
Creation
.
§
.
XXIII
.
It
remains
now
to
observe
what
from
the
Redoubled
seven
Eyes
have
been
truely
discerned
:
The
signs
forerunning
,
and
those
that
follow
,
as
evidences
when
the
Kingdom
is
truely
come
.
And
it
will
begin
,
as
it
was
in
the
First
Paradise
,
in
Male
and
Female
,
through
the
restoration
of
the
lost
Eternal
Virgin-Nature
.
And
as
Eve
did
suck
in
the
Serpently
Venom
,
and
introduced
it
into
the
First
Adam
,
and
thereby
corrupted
and
involved
him
in
the
same
transgression
,
whereby
there
was
a
going
out
,
and
dividing
from
God
the
Eternal
Root
;
whence
the
Banishment
out
of
Paradise
was
pronounced
,
and
an
exclusion
and
loss
of
the
Kingdom
and
Dominion
:
So
the
Virgin
rises
in
her
Room
to
draw
and
feed
upon
that
Tree
of
Life
,
and
having
tasted
of
the
Virtue
thereof
,
gives
to
her
chosen
and
elected
Mate
,
so
known
and
assigned
to
stand
in
the
Room
of
him
that
brought
in
Sorrow
and
the
Curse
.
That
must
Die
and
be
extinguished
as
this
Tree
of
Life
,
by
this
true
eternal
Marriage
of
the
Male
and
Female
,
shall
come
to
spring
up
in
Fruitful
Powers
.
Then
comes
forth
the
renewing
of
that
Blessed
Word
,
that
God
spake
in
the
Beginning
.
Gen.
1.28
.
And
God
blessed
them
,
and
God
said
unto
them
,
be
Fruitful
and
Multiply
and
replenish
the
Earth
,
and
subdue
it
.
And
have
Dominion
over
the
Fish
of
the
Sea
,
and
over
the
Fowl
of
the
Air
,
●ver
every
Living
thing
that
moveth
upon
the
Earth
.
Now
this
has
been
obliterated
and
lost
out
of
Possession
in
that
lapsed
Generation
,
that
proceeded
from
the
first
Adam
,
for
these
many
Ages
of
time
that
have
past
over
.
But
the
grace
and
purpose
of
God
cannot
be
Nullified
;
but
must
be
made
good
:
The
pure
Eternal
Virgin-Nativity
will
recover
it self
,
and
stand
over
all
this
Apostatized
State
:
whereby
an
end
may
be
put
to
the
Sinful
Progeny
of
the
Old
World
.
But
this
great
Renovation
,
and
Change
,
will
rise
and
come
on
Gradually
.
So
from
hence
a
New
Generation
shall
spread
and
multiply
here
upon
the
Earth
,
as
a
deified
Leaven
,
that
shall
eat
out
the
bitter
and
sowr
Leaven
,
that
had
got
into
depraved
Nature
.
§
.
XXIV
.
After
this
manner
the
Kingdom
of
God
and
his
Christ
,
shall
come
to
be
made
manifest
.
Blessed
are
those
that
shall
stand
in
the
Lot
of
this
Age
and
Time
,
worthily
taking
notice
how
the
fore-mentioned
Signs
do
go
forward
on
,
as
a
sure
Preludium
how
near
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
:
Which
will
run
Parallel
,
according
to
the
Type
of
the
first
Creation
:
Now
it
may
be
considered
what
is
required
and
may
be
incumbent
on
this
latter
Age
,
chiefly
those
that
are
in
a
hopeful
way
of
possessing
and
entring
into
the
Reign
of
this
blessed
Day
,
looking
forth
when
and
where
the
eternal
Virgin
will
appear
to
cloath
any
with
her
bright
Clarity
.
From
whence
the
Kingly
Births
and
Powers
shall
multiply
into
Pluralites
,
abundantly
to
replenish
the
new
Paradise
.
This
will
be
a
wonderful
time
:
who
among
Mortalls
shall
it
live
to
see
,
but
such
as
have
reached
up
to
the
Faith
of
a
Christ-like
Unity
,
to
them
this
new
Kingdom
shall
stand
all
open
and
free
,
to
possess
in
a
joyful
Triumph
and
Victory
.
§
.
XXV
.
I
must
not
omit
here
,
to
give
the
Reader
caution
to
avoid
a
mistake
,
concerning
the
two
Representative
Figures
made
mention
of
.
As
to
the
manner
of
Generation
,
it
is
all
Purely
Spiritual
as
the
Holy
Ghost
,
shall
go
forth
from
them
,
to
overshadow
and
give
a
conception
in
such
as
are
Predestinate
to
bring
forth
Christ
,
numerously
through
corporeal
Forms
,
in
his
various
Spiritual
Stature
,
as
from
an
infant
of
Days
,
to
the
full
grown
Age
.
When
this
Blessed
Day
shall
from
on
high
,
spring
for
the
bringing
down
this
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
there
will
be
Marriages
of
another
kind
than
what
has
been
,
all
Spiritual
,
Angelical
and
Divine
:
From
whence
a
pure
and
holy
Progeny
shall
stand
in
this
latter
Day
upon
the
Earth
;
Born
as
Princely
Heirs
to
Reign
with
Christ
in
these
lower
Regions
.
§
.
XXVI
.
Further
it
is
also
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
that
the
first
Figurative
Representatives
of
this
new
Modelled
Kingdom
,
in
which
the
Paradisical
Male
and
Female
,
do
express
Christ
and
the
Virgin
,
taking
up
an
Elementary
form
,
they
stand
United
most
intimately
,
and
yet
distinct
:
The
Male
has
his
Virgin
in
himself
,
and
so
from
thence
may
multiply
a
Spiritual
Offspring
,
as
was
proposed
in
the
first
Adam
.
And
on
the
other
Hand
,
the
Female
Virgin
shall
have
her
Male
Power
and
Spirit
in
her self
,
to
bring
forth
in
the
like
manner
,
according
to
the
excellent
might
of
the
God-Man
so
incorporating
with
the
Virgin-mind
.
So
that
here
will
be
no
dependency
upon
what
is
without
themselves
,
each
one
having
the
Deified
Seed
,
to
procreate
these
Angelical
Births
from
themselves
.
And
tho'
it
may
be
the
Wisdom
and
Counsel
of
God
to
take
up
two
Figures
,
in
order
to
the
Matrimonial
Tye
,
yet
no
bonds
will
upon
them
be
,
as
to
their
outward
Persons
being
confin'd
either
to
place
or
time
;
For
when
the
happy
Day
for
their
rising
and
appearance
shall
be
,
it
will
stand
in
that
Glorious
liberty
,
that
they
may
be
either
Resident
together
in
one
Family
,
or
otherwise
in
two
different
Nations
,
for
there
shall
be
no
let
hereby
to
their
United
Spirit
and
Power
,
that
shall
Co-work
together
for
the
bringing
forth
,
and
spreading
the
Miraculous
Powers
of
Christ's
Kingdom
.
For
by
pure
Act
of
Omnipotent
Power
,
this
new
Creation
State
must
be
maintain'd
and
upheld
.
Which
Government
and
Authority
,
will
be
so
surely
fix'd
and
entail'd
,
as
never
yet
has
been
known
in
the
World
since
the
Creation
.
For
the
Tyde
must
turn
,
and
the
Satanical
Powers
and
Kingdom
must
give
way
to
the
Virgin
with
her
Male-Birth
,
that
shall
with
the
Rod
of
Iron
all
opposing
Nations
crush
,
and
bring
under
.
But
others
shall
see
and
submit
to
this
Day
of
Christ's
Glorious
Soveraignty
,
offering
themselves
willingly
to
be
admitted
as
Subjects
of
this
Kingdom
and
Dominion
,
that
is
given
to
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
.
The
Motives
hereunto
will
be
so
great
and
marvellous
,
as
shall
invite
all
from
the
highest
degrees
and
ranks
of
Persons
,
to
the
lowest
of
Conditions
:
there
is
a
Gate
of
Paradise
that
sh●ll
be
open'd
,
to
such
as
can
derive
their
descent
and
Birth-degree
,
from
the
Virgin
and
the
Father
of
Eternity
.

Now
it
must
be
further
declared
,
what
was
Figuratively
represented
of
a
fiery
Horn
fill'd
with
Oyl
,
that
was
held
in
the
Hand
of
an
Angelical
Person
,
that
was
sent
forth
to
Sound
:
and
a
Voice
was
heard
saying
,
Cry
aloud
,
and
it
was
answered
,
what
shall
I
Cry
?
And
it
was
said
again
,
O
Earth
,
Earth
cast
forth
thy
Dead
,
that
have
lain
buried
with
Christ
their
Head
.
The
power
of
which
Sound
,
did
make
the
Earth
to
tremble
.
And
by
the
dropping
Oil
out
of
the
fiery
Horn
gave
a
Resurrection
,
Mystically
,
to
all
that
were
dead
to
the
Delight
,
Love
,
and
Resting
in
this
outward
Principle
.
These
were
those
that
were
Sign'd
,
and
Mark't
,
to
be
made
partakers
of
the
first
Resurrection-Life
;
over
whom
the
second
Death
had
no
Power
,
having
received
the
Royal
Stamp
and
Dignifyng
Power
,
to
Reign
as
Kings
and
Priests
and
Prophets
:
having
the
Ghostly
Seal
upon
them
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son
.
And
these
being
as
the
first
Fruits
of
God
and
the
Lamb
,
shall
go
forth
to
awaken
those
that
are
after
another
manner
Dead
,
in
a
sensual
and
Earthly
Life
,
by
sounding
forth
the
Love-call
of
God
to
those
that
are
yet
Strangers
,
to
the
Knowledge
of
this
blessed
Resurrection-State
.
§

.
But
here
it
is
to
be
understood
,
that
these
do
first
rise
but
in
a
Child-like
State
,
and
so
grow
up
as
Christ
himself
did
in
Wisdom
and
Stature
.
This
being
as
the
time
of
their
Minority
,
they
cannot
suddenly
reach
to
the
full
possession
of
their
inheritance
and
Kingdom
:
but
as
Princely
Spirits
they
will
be
brought
up
,
and
served
,
according
to
their
high
Spiritual
Birth-Degree
.
As
Moses
was
brought
up
in
all
the
Learning
of
the
Egyptians
,
as
the
Son
of
Pharoah's
Daughter
,
so
shall
these
Heaven-born
Children
be
taught
,
disciplin'd
and
instructed
in
all
the
divine
Arts
in
the
Royal
Court
of
God
their
Father
,
and
the
new
Jerusalem
their
true
Native
Mother
.
From
which
may
be
expected
the
great
Deeds
and
Wonders
to
be
acted
forth
,
after
the
manner
of
Moses
,
and
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
:
and
that
in
a
decree
more
eminent
and
Glorious
than
all
has
been
heretofore
;
because
it
will
be
the
manifestation
of
the
great
Day
of
Christ's
setting
up
his
Kingdom
and
Reign
here
upon
Earth
,
over
all
Nations
and
Kingdoms
,
which
yet
never
has
been
:
but
the
Prophesies
hereof
are
now
at
hand
to
be
fulfill'd
.
Therefore
it
is
foreseen
and
shewn
,
that
this
fiery
Horn
does
forerun
the
Seventh
Angel's
Sounding
;
thus
to
awaken
and
raise
the
Dead
.
The
extent
and
power
of
which
will
be
such
,
and
the
Motives
so
strongly
prevailing
as
to
take
hold
of
the
great
Potentates
,
that
are
in
Possession
of
temporal
Honours
and
Riches
,
Rule
and
Government
.
All
of
which
they
will
be
convinc'd
are
much
inferior
,
and
below
what
the
Children
of
this
new
Kingdom
shall
come
to
inherit
.
Where
there
shall
be
no
Cross
in
their
Crowns
,
no
fear
of
loss
or
suffering
,
nor
dread
of
Death
.
So
many
are
the
Prerogatives
that
do
attend
this
S●ate
,
that
they
cannot
be
number'd
.
For
they
have
here
their
Pass
out
of
the
Land
of
Curse
,
and
all
Evils
and
Maladies
,
into
the
Land
of
all
Blessing
and
Plenty
,
Peace
and
Joy
.

XXIX
.
O
ye
great
and
mighty
Ones
of
the
Earth
,
know
this
Love-Horn
has
its
Commission
to
you
to
blow
.
That
so
a
Resurrection-Life
you
may
advance
unto
;
to
put
on
such
Princely
Glory
,
as
you
need
never
fear
to
be
Disrobed
of
.
Sure
nothing
can
pareil
with
such
a
Love-call
as
this
,
for
the
giving
such
a
full
out
of
the
Delights
and
Pleasures
of
the
Earth
.
Which
will
be
the
most
admirable
,
because
hither
towards
God
has
chosen
the
Poor
of
this
World
and
the
Weaker
and
Foolish
things
,
to
confound
the
Wise
and
the
Things
that
are
mighty
;
so
that
not
many
wise
Men
after
the
Flesh
,
not
many
Mighty
,
not
many
Noble
are
call'd
:
But
now
it
is
understood
and
perceived
,
that
there
is
a
peculiar
purpose
and
good
will
of
God
to
these
;
as
many
as
will
incline
to
obey
.
Who
may
account
it
their
more
abundant
Dignity
,
Pleasure
,
and
Honour
,
to
serve
in
the
Courts
of
the
mighty
God
and
King
;
Improving
all
their
Interest
and
Power
from
him
;
and
counting
it
their
great
happiness
that
they
have
any
Powers
,
and
opportunity
,
in
their
Hands
,
to
promote
the
Reign
of
Christ
in
Spirit
,
according
to
all
that
has
been
made
manifest
.
Thus
ye
would
be
as
mighty
Presidents
to
turn
the
Stream
and
Tide
,
that
hath
run
so
vehemently
downwards
for
the
propping
up
the
Satanical
and
Earthly
Kingdom
:
and
cause
it
as
mighty
Torrent
to
run
for
the
Spiritual
and
Heavenly
Kingdom
,
which
may
hereby
come
to
spread
as
Lightning
through
all
Parts
.
§
.
XXX
.
The
second
Cry
that
Soundeth
out
of
this
fiery
Ghostly
Horn
,
is
to
awaken
such
Pastors
and
Watchmen
as
may
go
forth
in
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
Elijah
,
to
turn
the
Hearts
of
the
Fathers
to
the
Children
,
and
the
Disobedient
to
the
Wisdom
of
the
Just
,
for
which
the
Age
of
Time
is
now
ripening
,
that
such
Shepherds
God
will
raise
up
,
as
shall
feed
his
Flocks
,
from
a
lively
Ministration
of
his
own
Spirit
;
and
no
longer
from
a
low
Traditionary
Form
;
for
taking
up
a
rest
therein
:
but
to
move
and
press
themselves
and
excite
others
,
to
reach
this
Resurrection-Mark
.
When
God
shall
revive
this
ancient
Prophetical
,
and
Apostolical
,
Spirit
in
a
Publick
Ministry
,
this
will
be
a
great
Sign
that
the
Harvest
of
Christ's
Kingdom
is
to
be
gathered
in
.
Therefore
a
Healing
Embassage
from
Heaven
is
now
sent
down
,
that
calleth
and
urgeth
for
a
Universal
Harmony
and
Unity
:
Wherefrom
may
be
expected
a
marvellous
and
wonderful
Change
,
in
bringing
out
of
all
Strife
,
Contension
and
Division
.
For
the
Prince
of
Love
,
and
Peace
,
is
near
to
pitch
his
Throne-Dominion
,
and
Kingdom
,
first
invisibly
and
Spiritually
in
the
Hearts
and
Minds
;
from
whence
will
go
forth
such
mighty
influencing
Powers
,
as
shall
cause
all
that
is
destructive
to
this
Love-Kingdom
to
cease
.
Highly
favoured
and
blessed
will
those
Holy
Watchmen
be
,
that
in
a
Reconciling
Spirit
shall
be
sent
forth
,
to
prepare
a
People
as
Subjects
to
the
mighty
King
:
who
in
Judgment
,
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
must
over
the
whole
Earth
Rule
and
Reign
.
§

.
So
according
to
these
forementioned
Signs
,
and
Prophetical
Sounds
,
a
lively
hope
may
spring
in
the
Faithful
,
who
do
continually
intercede
;
wait
,
and
pray
for
the
Resurrection-flock
to
be
gather'd
in
,
to
feed
under
the
overshadowing
Power
of
the
mighty
God
and
Saviour
.
To
whom
alone
Renown
,
Praise
,
and
Glory
will
herefrom
throughout
the
Earth
spread
.
