"I shall answer thee from my Gospel: in the perfect manner I have spoken in thy writings, that thou couldest not understand, that a visitation like this would ever come to thee,, before a sudden surprise came upon thee, to explain the mysteries of thy writings, and of the scriptures, which I told thee were concealed from all, to prevent impostors; therefore I spoke in that mans ner through my Gospel. Know, in the Revelation, how the new Jerusalem is compared as coming down from heaven, and how I compared the kingdom of this world to the kingdom of God, that I should make at my second coming, to bring in the redemption of man; and therefore I said, Ye shall desire to see one of the days of the SON of MAN, and ye shall not see it; for as the lightning, that lightneth out of one part under heaven shineth unto the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of MAN be in his day but first must HE suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Had these sayings of mine been understood, and the words I said to Nicodemus, of being born again of the Spirit, they would clearly have understood that there would be a SECOND SON, like the FIRST: and, I now tell thee, many will desire to see the day, who have been great mockers and despisers; they will wish to see the day that the Son of MAN appeareth to shine under the heavens. For so it is has tening on; and therefore I said, the kingdom of heaven was within you: and it must be in the womb, to be born, as I was, before this glory can appear to men and as a LITTLE CHILD HE must be first received, if they will obtain the kingdom of glory, that shall follow his birth: therefore I said, it did not come with observation; neither by saying, lo here, or lo there. But know how many have arisen, to call themselves the CHRIST,

or the second like unto the first; but now my answer is from my Gospel; for now is the time that the Son of MAN is revealed, to be born of the SPIRIT, that is now within thee: "And where the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together." And now I shall tell thee why I compared it to eagles: because an eagle is an eager bird, and a strong bird; and perfectly so I shall make mankind eager to search out the truth; and then I shall give them strength to stand, to confound all gainsayers of my Gospel. And now let them see, though my promises are so great, to bring in everlasting happiness for man; yet, persecution will arise, and therefore the threatened judgments will come on: but I shall avenge the woman of her adversary.”

John xii. 23, 24.-"The hour is come, that the Son of Man should be glorified."

"I shall answer thee from these words, saying the hour is come, that the Son of MAN shall be glorified. But how did I say he should be glorified? Let men see the following verse: "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground, and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." Now let men answer these scriptures, which I have ordered thee to bring toge ther, from the Prophets and from my Gospel, how they will explain them, for ME to bring forth the fruits of my SPIRIT, to abide as the CoмFORTER in the end? Could I then abide with mankind, when I came to give my life for the transgression of the fall? What fruits of my Spirit could I then have brought to man? But know, I said I should raise it up again at the last day; and send them ANOTHER COMFORTER. Therefore, if men saw my Gospel clear, they would know that a visitation of my SPIRIT must come to a WOMAN at last, to bring in the Sox, that

was to be revealed, as it was to a WOMAN at first; and then they will see the perfect GODHEAD: the TRINITY in UNITY, and the UNITY in TRINITY: heaven and earth alike to join: for this is the meaning of my kingdom coming down to man. But now I ask mankind, what SON they expected should be revealed in his day? I was revealed at that time, and was amongst them; and therefore, if men understood my Gospel aright, they would expect to see another Son revealed like the first, before the glory of my kingdom was brought in. Let them look to the words of John."

1 John, iii. 2. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

"Let men answer, what was the meaning of the apostles' words. They had seen ME; they had known my likeness; and they had seen ME after my resurrection; therefore the apostles could not speak of the past; they were speaking of what was to come. But thou sayest in thy heart, they were speaking of my coming in glory, in the last day. To thy judgment I shall leave thee. They wrote, as thou hast, by inspiration, without understanding the full meaning of what they wrote; but their writings speak of another, that they were looking for to come, that should be ready to be revealed in the last time, wherein men should greatly rejoice.

"I shall answer thee further from the Revelation. When the WOMAN appeareth, clothed with the SUN, then cometh salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Gop, and the power of his CHRIST. Now let them see what the power is:

Rev. xv. 3. 4. "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art

holy for all nations shall come and worship before thee."

"Now where are the wise men who can answer these words? that men shall sing "the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of Saints." Let men turn their thoughts every way: either in the midst of the greatest afflictions, that ever befel nations, or in the midst of the greatest blessings, were these words ever spoken by men, to praise the Lord, as is here mentioned? These marvellous workings will never appear before the power of CHRIST is seen in the power of a BRIDEGROOM, according to the MARRIAGE mentioned in the Revelation; then they will see the second LIGHTNING like the first; and the second is made FLESH, to dwell with men. And till this be made known, and the truth be proved, I now tell thee, it is not all the bishops in England, nor all the learned men upon earth, that can be competent judges of the Scriptures, to confound those men who write blasphemy against them: and this sin is daily increasing; therefore, if they have not strength their selves, to confound gainsayers; let them take hold of my strength; and let it be made known amongst mankind; let them see my wisdom, and copy after it; and then, if a host of enemies come against them, I shall confound them all, by the wondrous manner I am working to prove the truth of the Gospel and the Prophets; and they shall find my threatenings just, if they cannot stop these blasphemous writers, by their own wisdom, and they refuse the wisdom that I have laid out before them.

"And now come to my Gospel. I said, if the days were not shortened, no flesh should be saved.

And see how fast infidelity is increasing, to bring men like the antediluvian world of old; see how the Scriptures are blasphemed, by the books that have been brought to thee; my Gospel is blasphemed; and my visitation to warn of the end, that I am coming to put an end to sin, is blasphemed likewise; and were it to go on till the six thousand years were up, men would become like the world of old, to be destroyed by fire, as they were by water: but know I said, for the ELECT'S shake, the days should be shortened. And now I will tell thee who is the ELECT, that I said they should be shortened for: It is the SON of MAN, that I said should be revealed."

Isaiah xlii.-Observe the commentators on this chapter: "the mission of Christ to the Gentiles: his meekness and constancy: God's promises to him: an exhortation to praise God for his Gospel: God will no longer forbear to manifest himself."

"Now let men look this chapter through; and let them answer, when it was fulfilled? All must answer as thou dost; it never was fulfilled.

Verse 10.- Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praises from the ends of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, and all that therein is; the isles and all the inhabitants thereof."

"Then now like them I answer; God will no longer forbear to manifest himself, in the mission of CHRIST, the SON that I have revealed to thee." Behold my SERVANT whom I uphold, mine ELECT in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my SPIRIT upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break: the smoking flax shall he not quench: he bring forth judgment unto victory. He shai fail, nor be discouraged, till he have set judg
