the perfect mystery of the MAN-CHILD that is brought forward to man, to rule the nations with a rod of iron.-Sharp's Answer, 78.

I am the Joseph that was envied by my brethren, and it is MY SEED must come to inherit the PROMISE.-C. with Carpenter, 177.

It is by faith that you must obtain the fulfilment of the promise that was said-In Isaac all the families of the earth should be blessed: and that promise I am now come to fulfil, and to free the fall of women.-Full Assurance, 49.

When I the BONE return,

You all will see the mystery,

And tears of joy will come. Full Assurance, 56.

No more you say, the despised Galilean,
But in his Father's kingdom HE is seen :-
No more the INFANT will be had in scorn,
But joyfully receiv'd where he is born :—
No more in swaddlings doth the INFANT lie,
But now he'll come in glory's bright array.

Full Assurance, 57.

I must create a NEW THING in the earth-a WOMAN to compass a MAN at last, as she compassed MAN at first; but, let them know, the first was under the influence of the devil, when she gave the fruit to man, and he did eat; then he was compassed in her transgression; but know, when I create anew, the WOMAN must be drawn by the influence of my SPIRIT, and compass MAN another way-That as in ADAM all died, even so in ME might all be made alive.-A. to Smith, 66.

Isaiah xlii. "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." Here my SoN is called my SERVANT; then marvel not, in the other, that he is called the RIGHTEOUS MAN, to

be ruler over kings, and to destroy with the sword all his enemies.-False Doctrine, 38.

Mark what is said of my SERVANT: "A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: He shall bring forth judgment unto truth; HE shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law." Now, from this, it is mentioned my SERVANT; in the other, the RIGHTEOUS MAN, that these things are to be done by; then know, these promises and their fulfilment must be accomplished by the Son of Go». Here the SON is called the SERVANT,-that shall set judgment in the earth, and the isles shall wait for his law. I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light to the Gentiles.-False Doctrine, 40, 41.

"He shall set up an ENSIGN for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah, from the four corners of the earth." Now, from these words of the prophet, let them see how the Jews are scattered, and how they stand; and let them discern my promises to gather them together in the end, when they begin to look unto ME whom they have pierced.-C. with the Worldly Wise, II. 24.

The witnesses spoken of are but Two; the ONE was fulfilled when our Saviour shed his blood for the transgression of man, that they might look unto him from the ends of the earth and be saved; and his coming again in power to cast out the adversary, that betrayed the woman, is the OTHER; and these two must be joined together, to bring the olive branch of peace to man.-A. to Paine, 49.

"Then shall they see the sign of the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.-1 B. of Wonders, 37.

Here were things spoken of Cyrus, as a SHADOW then to the Jews; but the SUBSTANCE remains for the end.-L. to the Clergy, 57.

L. to the Clergy, 64.

I speak to Gentiles and to Jews: The MOTHER she must first appear To bring the ISAAC,-men, see clear. As the year ended to thee, with a sparkling lustre round the sun, too bright for thy eyes to look into; and as the sun arose the next morning with a sparkling lustre of light; perfectly so thou wilt find the event of this year will happen to thee and true believers.-Wisdom, 3.

For what at first was lost by Adam's fall,

Look deep to Abraham, and behold the call,-
The promise that I made I'll now fulfil;
And so in ISAAC every land shall feel

The promis'd blessings I have now in store. Wisdom, 34. They will find the ensuing year such a year, as I told thee before, as was never seen in England, since it was a nation, to have the true meaning of the Scriptures to be brought forward and proved to men.-Wisdom, 46.

I shall set this sign to the Jews, whereby they shall know whether my GOSPEL is true or not. For, like Joseph, was my life sought by them, and, like Joseph, I was separated from them; but now, like Joseph, will I make myself known unto them, by signs and wonders that I shall set before them. This year, in the sixty-fifth year of thy age, thou shalt have a Sox, by the power of the MOST HIGH, which if they receive as their Prophet, Priest, and King, then I will restore them to their own land, and cast out the heathens for their sakes, as I cast out them when they cast out me, by rejecting me as their Saviour, Prince, and King, for which I said I was born, but not at that time to establish my kingdom.-3 B. of Wonders, 4.

E

The concluding passage has been inserted as being the subject whereon the whole of the foregoing collection depend, and have reference to; being also the key to unlock the scripture prophecies concerning the restoration of the Jews to their own land, and the re-establishment of the throne of David, preparatory to the glorious appearance of our Saviour, to cast out the prince of this world, and to establish his kingdom of peace upon earth for one thousand years. But for further information upon this point, the Third Book of Wonders is particu larly recommended to all candid inquirers after truth, as furnishing topics worthy of their most

serious attention.

REMARKS.

HAVING brought together the principal prophecies concerning the CHILD that was to be born, but never understood till this revelation was given, in what manner he should be born; I shall now bring forward some of the prophecies, which were given to shew how great the rage and fury would be in men when this was made known.

"The living waters are the living stream,

That like a fountain will come from on high;
But yet the sinners will it all defy;

And as 'tis flowing, sin will sure abound;
They'll froth with fury for to hear the sound.-
So with the wicked it will certain be:

They'll foam with fury, and the truth you'll see.”
S. E. of Faith, 162.

How true I have found these words by experience! as I am now compelled to flee, not only from the face of my enemies, but from my friends likewise, to conceal myself in a place of safety, where I am not known by any person; and my name I am obliged to conceal, to preserve my life

from malicious and inveterate enemies, who threatened to set the house on fire where I lived, and to take my life it they by any means could get me in their power. This my friends have heard them say, that their determination was to seek my life. As my enemies mock me, they mock the Scriptures likewise; then what can I expect from such men, if I fall into their hands? but this proves the truth of the following words:

"It is with Hell thou dost contend,

For he in man doth speak;

And angels here do now appear,
For they do speak in man,
And tell thee for to persevere--
Like a good soldier stand.

So both are come the ranks to join,
And I'll join with my friends:
And Satan's come to join his own-
Mark well and see the end."

S. E. of F. Continuation, 108. Were not Satan to speak in men, such blasphemy would never be spoken, as I am now informed is spoken against my visitation, against the Scriptures, and against the Gospel; for all are condemned together in the same manner. This sheweth how infidelity is increasing, and how Satan is blinding the eyes of mankind. Concerning those men, who said that they would not let me live to see whether the Child was born or not, I was answered in the following manner.

"Without the devil's speaking in men, to set them on with rage and fury, such expressions would not be made by men, as have been made concerning thee, so eagerly to seek thy life to destroy it. Because in men there is a curiosity wrought by nature; and from that curiosity they would wish to see thee live, to pass the time wherein it is said the Child will be born, so that they might have room to mock, without being put to shame and confusion, if no Child is born as mentioned by thee. But, on the other hand, so
