January 17. 1678. The Threefold State of Man.

The Holy Unction from this gave me to understand the Threefold State we are to pass through, before we can come to recover our antient lost Prerogative of Power and Purity, into which we are now to be redeemed. The first Rocky Ruinous Ground which my Spirit was made to see into, is this Out-Birth of... Read More

January 18. 1678. An Answer to an Objection against the Translated State.

As to this grand Objection, I have received wherewith from the Lord to make answer hereunto. Which is hard and difficult to utter, it being a new revealed thing, which open'd it self, since I engaged upon this Subject. But whether it will be received or understood by such, who are mighty in the lite... Read More

January 22. 1678. Renovation of Youth.

In the fore part of the Night, all internal Powers of my Mind were introverted, and acted forth in Prayer, for our Spirits going forward in the Vineyard work, and to be inabled to indure the heat of the Day in it. And I was considering, how our Days were run, and our Bodies like Flowers were fading ... Read More

January 28. 1678. The Womb of the Morning, and the Dew of Youth.

This Word was opened to me. From the Womb of the Morning, thou hast the Dew of thy Youth. The Morning signifieth the Day breaking away from the Night, and so becomes a clear and distinct Light without Clouds, the everlasting Sun rising for to disperse all. Now this was shewn me to be that Light, whi... Read More

THE Love Banner, and Pavilion of Power was said, should be our strong hold and hiding, therefore, give your selves no rest, till ye find it out, spake the Holy Unction from within.

January 4. 1678. The New Creation Clear'd.

Hereupon came in an Objection, Why this transparent Creation hath been so long withheld; and nothing hereof made manifest, but the old form and figure of things, still running on from Generation to Generation, (the whole Creation being concluded under Sin, Death, Bondage and the Curse) as is apparen...

January 6. 1678. The Stone of the Kingdom.

In the Night after my first Sleep, somewhat I saw, like a round Ball, mixed with all manner of Colours very oriental, and it darted down from an invisible Region to the Earth, where it seemed to sink in. After which it was said to me, that this was the Stone, upon which the Kingdom of Heaven was fou... Read More

January 7. 1678. The Date of Time.

This Night I was in much conflict, concerning the time of this Spiritual Kingdom, as to the time, when it might appear, whether or not to any it was near. And it was thus answered by an internal Word, saying, the Kingdom of Heaven so cometh in, as the Evil Spirit is cast out: This kind as it is writ... Read More

July 1. 1678.

This Word came fresh in the Hour of fear, and adversity, saying, Be strong, and go yet forth in the Lord's Might, and Work, for the Lord's Spirit is with you, as in the Day, when he delivered out of Egypt. Consider that the Foundation of the Temple, which is God, and the Lamb is laid, which will sha... Read More

July 10. 1678. The Girdle of Unity.

There was this Morning framed to my inward sight, a wreathed line of Gold, and there were Knots curiously wrought at the middle, and each end of the line, that was shewn to me: but from whence it came, I saw not. But suddenly there were some, that did look at it with a troubled Countenance, and woul... Read More

July 19. 1678. The opening of the Vision had July 9 before mentioned.

Now as concerning those dead Bodies, which lay in the way, which I was to pass through. It was by the Spirit of Truth given me to understand, that it did signifie and figure out these last Ages, since Christ's time; Those who are passing through the tempting Wilderness to Mount-Sion, under the condu...

July 20. 1678. The Patience of Faith.

This Word came to me, Be not over hasty, so long as Faith's Evidence is with you. Ye have a faithful Steward, that is Day by Day stirring up the more choice and excellent Substance, which is laid up during the time and season which is necessary for Probation. But know after this purifying Season, it... Read More

July 21. 1678. Earth to Earth.

Going to my rest, somewhat troubled, that any thing of a Worldly concern should interrupt me, in that Spiritual employ and calling, that now I had so delightfully betaken my self unto; I met with this in the Night, I saw my self imposed upon to carry a heavy Bag, the stuff that was in it, seemed to ...

July 23. 1678. The Fine Righteousness.

This Word came much upon me, put off thy Courser sort of Righteousness, there is a much Finer, than what hath yet been shewn to any. The Bride of the Lamb shall it soon come to understand, that it is no less than the Righteousness of God, spun out by Faith from the original Purity of the Holy Trinit... Read More

July 24. 1678. The Wise Adventure.

The Word of Life did open this Day, saying, Adventure to throw and cast your selves upon the deep Ocean-Power. For thereby your sight will be so cleared, as to behold Objects and Things in the Heavenly Sphere. Which will plunge deeper into that Region, where every decree of Faith doth obtain God's i...

July 25. 1678. The Flaming Tabernacle.

When God shall pitch his Tabernacle for his Holy Ones, within the Body of the Sun, then shall they know, a sure, quiet, and peaceable Habitation. For all-healing Power is found there, to help the Humble and Contrite Ones. But for the rebellious and disdainful, there will be no coming near, this burn... Read More

July 26. 1678. The Flying Roll.

This Morning it was given me to consider of the Flying Roll, that hath spread over the whole Earth with its Curse. That no one in part, or Person in this visible Creation, but have felt the effects thereof in the various Evils, that hath been inflicted upon that Birth. Which is included under that d... Read More

July 27. 1678. The Tree of the Divine Magia.

This was the Matter, that first cast up it self in my Mind, concerning Christ's Inherency Immutably in this Corporeal Figure, which we do bear answerable to his own Word: He that abideth in me, and I in him brings forth much Fruit. Now it was opened to me, wherein this Fruitfulness did consist, by t... Read More

July 29. 1678. The Refining House.

In the Morning I had the Figure of an House shewn me, that was but Plaistered over in the outside, and it was assigned for me, and such as did seek hiding from a tempest and overflowing Scourge; that would certainly come to devour much Flesh, who were not found under the Eternal shelter. And for the... Read More

July 3. 1678. The Tempestuous Voyage: Or the Treasure.

Much of this Night I spent in many Tossings and Turmoilings of my Mind, labouring to rise higher, than the low Sphear of sensible things, which now as a Cart with Sheaves, did lie heavy to press the Life of Faith down. Which heaved up to cast off all that weight, which did still strive against that ... Read More
