I Being a servant of the Lord who bear testimo­nie unto the Truth as it is made manifest and required of me, The Lord God shewed me in the time of weaknesse, a River of water as clear as Chrystal; and in it there was a pure precious pearl, which was the life of men; and the Lord made known unto me, that I was to bring many to be wash'd in that River, that they might be made clean, that the Lord might receive them, and by this River there was a Hill like unto a great mountain; and by this Hill there was a great Wood like unto a wilder­nesse, and in that wood there was a mighty house, and I saw many came to that House which was weak and feeble, and the Rulers of that house destroyed many of them; and some was dying & not dead, and this was the house where many souls was and is de­stroyed; and the Lord God shewed unto me that I might cry with a loud voice, that a day of deliver­ance was coming unto them who were dying and in bondage in that house, and with that immedi­ately after dread and terrour fell upon the Ru­ler of that house, and a fire was kindled therein, which could not be quenched, and by this [Page 6] fire many was to be delivered which suffered, and was kept in bondage for the truth of God, which is Jesus Christ; but when that fire was kindled, all of that house were of an uproar, & gathered their forces and their strength together, to keep those that were in bondage, and was dying, that they should not be delivered, nor relieved, but they could not prevail against him that came to deliver them, but many was delivered, even so as it were by fire and sword, and ma­ny were they that were slain thereby.

And moreover, I saw a people that had no habitati­on in the earth, and was naked, and so they were to remain until the appearance & coming of our Lord Jesus, but many of them not being content to abide in that estate, they were going about to build hou­ses in the earth again, and making to themselves co­verings which were rough and ill-favoured, and as it were of rough hair, and I was to reprove them.

Moreover I saw the place where the Lord God would come and appear to judge his people, and there I was commanded of the Lord, to counsel the faithful peo­ple of God, to make their habitation and abode in that place, that they might all live together in that habitation, for it was, and is sure from generation to generation; for the day is coming that them that was not found there, in that habitation was to perish, for the Lord God would make a speedy riddance of them by the fire of his jealousie.

The Lord God of power gave unto me the Book of life, and I was glad and did receive it, and did look thereon, and all my enemies was brought down un­der my feet, and I was in a quiet habitation, and the glory of the Lord did shine round about me.

And the Lord God of heaven and earth took me up [Page 7] in the spirit unto a holy mountain and shewed me all the whole world, and spake to me, and said, That he had warned all men to repent, and to come to Judgement, and some obeyed, and came to judgement at the Lords command, and were saved, and they were brought into that holy Mountain; and others refused to come to judgment, and they stayed in the ungodly world, and were to be destroyed with the World, and others were afraid of destruction which was to come upon the wick­ed, and they were running and striving to save them­selves, and with rashnesse and hastinesse they killed and destroyed one another, and never came to life, and they which was not saved was either killed or burned with fire.

And I saw a people that lived, and not of any earthly thing; or else they could not inherit the Kingdom of God; but they were few that lived so, though some was come much out of the earth, and was turning into the earth again, and so destruction came upon them.

The Lord God by his mighty hand and power lifted me upon high and set me on that which stood sure & was indurable, and gave unto me a weapon in my hand like unto aspear, and when it was lifted up, a glorious light did shine about it, that many could not behold and en­dure, And so they would strive to make war and rise up against it, but the Lord God spake to me and said, Go on & make war with the nations which riseup against thee, with that weapon which I have given thee in thy hand, and hold it fast, and thy enemies shall not overcome thee, though they be many against thee, neither them nor their weapons shall never prevail against thee.

And the Lord God shewed me a narrow and a straight way, and he led me therein, and some others with me, And I saw a City before me, and the Lord brought me through great tribulations to that City, and in that Ci­ty [Page 6] there was a Child which had a throne above the earth and walked in it; and there was a Lion with that Child, but he was made subject, and the Childe had power and do­minion over the Lion, and some few was brought to that City, and saw it, but it was through great tribulations; but there was none could come to that child which was in the Throne but through death, he that readeth let him understand.
