to go, but I told her I must go; and then they did every thing in their power to make me comfortable; to which I was answered

"The words from thee was spoke by ME-
I will not stay thy hand:
I tell thee there's a mystery
You easy can't command.

Like Taylor's care, they'll find ME near;

So careful will I be;

I'll speak to all; for so't shall fall,
And they'll take care of thee.
For in my hands I all hearts command,
And every heart I'll turn;
Mark thou this day, to thee I say,

The father and the son;

The one did go the cost to know,
The other said he'd speak
Unto the man to take thee in—
The mystery there is great.

So Taylor here shan't lose his care;
For him I'll do the same;

'Tis done to thee, and now to ME;
Then let my Gospel come.

"But I'll end here, and say no more—

But answer instantly,

The words by Dingels spoken there,
That was admired by thee:
Thy steady faith, as Dingels saith,

Will be admired by all,

When men do see the mystery;

For down the sands must fall.
The rock is come, it will be known:
For on it thou dost build;

No storms or tempests can make fall-
'Tis men their faith do spill;
They did at first, and now at last-
The woman foil'd you all;
But when you see the mystery,
Then judge of Adam's call:
Naked did he appear to be,
And hid his face away;
I told him there for to appçar,
But what did Adam say?
"Naked I am,”—behold the man ;

Then cast your shame aside;

For I'll appear to answer here-
The field is open wide.

Because you'll see the mystery,
How naked all will come;
Stripp'd of their clothing they will be,
That cover'd them so long.

Their wisdom great their pride did heat,
Their knowledge they did boast;
But when I come to rescue men,
Their clothing will be lost.
Then naked here they will appear,
But shame must pass away;
The joyful news, that all will hear,
Will make them boldly say-
The woman, see, 'tis done by she;

Let her accusers come,

Then they'll find none to cast a stone,
But own 'tis wisely done;
Beyond the skill of Satan's wheel,
Beyond the heads of men,

A thing to clear so perfect here,
Where shame can never come,
'Tis nois'd abroad, to all be't know'd,
But few men do believe.
Could'st they but see the mystery,
They'd find another Eve

Shall now regain :—was Abel slain ?
Did I for man atone?

The woman's form must now be known

For to redeem her own.

But I'll appear to tell thee here

It is not done by thee;

The power of man would overcome:

And thou a coward be,

Did I not hold and now unfold,

To make thy anchor strong;
Thy sands they'd see like mans to be,
And thou would'st tumble down.

"So praise no more thy courage here, Thy persevering faith;

'Tis I'm in thee, they all will see,

Or surely, like the rest,

Thy faith would fall, be it known to all, When I let go my hand.

I bid thee for to own to all

How trembling thou didst stand, So near the brink thou'dst often sink And wilt thou boast like man? Thou answer'st, no: if I let go, Thou hast no power to stand."

Another Address to the Public, from Joanna Southcott.

AS I have been informed, that applications were made to the bookseller for the book alluded to in the "Warning to the Bishops," inserted in the paper of Tuesday, Nov. 9, and that they expected the book to have been of the same title; therefore I take this method of informing the public, that it is "THE SECOND BOOK OF WONDERS" which is alluded to, that the Bishops are applied to, for to judge between the Rev. Mr. Pomeroy and me, from the letters which passed between us, in 1804. See 31st page.

When a methodist was informed of my being confined from seeing any of my friends till my trial, his answer was, that I had now fixed myself; as I might be confined for a hundred years, if I lived so long.

Another man laughed on reading the "Warning to the Bishops," and said, if he had the Bishop of Durham's place, he would not regard my threatenings.

When I heard these things, I reflected upon the conduct of mankind, and I thought that I might say with David,-" Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him!" I may say, near forty years my spirits have been greatly wounded and grieved by the perverse hearts of men; professors as well as profane; for, if I look at the conduct of the boasters of religion, I have not found one man among a thousand, who profess to be Gospel preachers, that have proved themselves Gospel believers.

"So now I plainly see the hearts of men, in chequered lines, lie open unto me."

To my thoughts I was answered, that the Lord hath been provoked with man in the same manner; and found it a crooked and perverse generation, that did not know the ways of the Lord; therefore, he would say of this nation, as he said of the Jews of old, that they should never enter into his promised rest, if they waited until the forty years, mentioned by me, were up; which will be next April, 1814. Therefore I am answered, that this is the Day of Salvation, if they will hear his voice: they must not harden their hearts, as in the days of temptation in the wilderness. "But now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation: if they turn unto the Lord, he will have mercy upon them; and to the Most High God, for he will abundantly pardon them."-"The King's business requireth haste : for a quick work will the Lord do upon the earth. This is my strict command to thee, that my answer to their words must be put in the newspaper, that I may be clear from the blood of all men. Let the newspapers be kept; for they will all find the Prophecies true-for blessings, or judgments, according as men now act; for I shall trifle with man no longer; neither bear with their putting it off to a future time.”—This is the answer of the Lord.

JOANNA SOUTHCOTT.

The following very extraordinary article was received yesterday, with a request for its immediate insertion in our paper:

A Fourth Letter of Prophecy, by Joanna South

cott.

TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE,

My former Letters of Warning have roused various passions in men, and some public comments. Among the latter I shall notice a letter in the Stourbridge paper of the 12th instant, signed EPHRAIM, wherein he advises me to "make a friend of his Satanic Majesty; as he may lay his frightful paw upon me;" therefore he advises me to" court his favour-speak kindly of him; for it is good to have a friend wherever we go,'

I shall answer him from the words of Solomon "A fool's bolt is soon shot; the soul of the wicked desireth evil; and wisdom is too high for a fool." But he who thinks to find a friend in the devil will find himself deceived. I put no trust in man; then I certainly shall not put trust in the devil, who hath used his utmost endeavours to work in the hearts of men against me; and formed himself in men, to cast out floods of lies against me. I have not built upon such sandy foundation. Though the world laugh at my weakness, to believe that the Bishops will give themselves the trouble of coming forward and pass their judgment as required; I put no more trust in the Bishops, as men, than I do in their chariots or horses; but my trust is in the Lord of Hosts, who saith to the proud waves of the sea-Hitherto shalt thou go, and no further: who can say to the south, give up; and to the north, keep not back: who can make his people willing, in the day of his power. This is the FAITH that I rely upon the ROCK of AGES, and the God of my salvation-that the gates of hell cannot prevail against; and this is the FAITH that our Saviour
