   • summary: It is clear from these very words of the Prophet , without any need of producing others , that at the coming of the Messias , God would pour out a great abundance of his Spirit upon his Church , which should render the extraordinary and miraculous gifts of prophesy , of visions and of dreams almost common to all the faithful , which God before did but sparingly communicate to some particular persons : and indeed , the Apostles have apply'd this passage to the sending of the holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost , and the experience of things at that time did very authentically testify the truth of this Prophesy ; for the abundance and variety of gifts , which God poured upon Christians , at the first establishment of Christianity , is a thing much to be wondered at ; in as much as he did not only inspire the Apostles , and Prophets & Evangelists , the Pastors , Doctors and Deacons , and generally all those who had any publick Office or charge in the Chruch , but also many particular persons without any difference of Age , Sex or Condition . 2. In sleep , by dreams , such as I have already mention'd , and others of the like nature ; and there is little difference betwixt Extasies and Dreams , only that , though in both there was a Cessation of the Functions of the bodily senses , yet in an Extasie , it was not altogether so entire and absolute , as in sleep , nor did it proceed from the same cause ; for in sleep this cessation proceeded from natural causes , from whence it usually comes ; but in an Extasie , it was caus'd by the extraordinary and miraculous power of the Spirit of God , which drew a way the Souls of his Servants from the Organs of their External Senses , and hinder'd it from displaying its power and efficacy .

   • summary: THE matters we propose to handle in this Treatise , are abstruce , various , profound and mysterious , since man has so far Eclipsed those glorious Intellectual Beams planted in his nature by the Father of Lights ; since he has interposed such a Chaos of gross Imaginations and Earthly Affections , and Clouds of Bituminous Smoke , fetcht from the Infernal pit , so that he seems altogether inveloped with a pithy Darkness , Dismal as that of Egypt , which might be felt , and is forced ( as the Prophet speaks ) to grope even at noonday , being become almost an utter stranger to himself , and all the marvellous Works of his Creator , insomuch that the most Towering Mortals , that call themselves Philosophers , feed their halffamisht intellectuals with Airy Notions , instead of Solid Speculations ; blunder on , Hoodwinckt by Tradition , in a constant flesh-pleasing Rood of Error , and a Contentious Sophistry of Words , whilst in Truth , they know nothing , as they ought to know of Themselves or their Maker ; of the principals themselves are composed of , or what makes them Men ; much less are they acquainted with the Sympathetical Harmony of the Universe , that true Musick of the Sphears , that Golden Chain which unites Heaven and Earth ; nor indeed do they ken the Reason of the most obvious operations of Nature . For all the time the Body sleepeth , it is as it were dead , and ten hours is but as one minute , but the spirit and soul liveth and acteth , and seeth and apprehendeth things as if it had not any earthly Body , but were already in Eternity ; for near and afar off is all a like unto it , it can as easily visit remote Countries and Regions beyond the Equinoctial or Tropicks , as a mans own House or Garden ; it can sink it self into the deepest of Depths , and also sore aloft and range through all the Coelestial sphears ; the Etherial Spirits of men being thus volatile , and busie when the outward body or senses are dead , or , ( which is all one for the time ) asleep , the Immaterial Beeings , or seperated Souls being of an homogenial Nature , and like state , can easily hold communication therewith by such means as are proper for the intercourse of such spirituous Essences , especially if before the Death of the Body there was something strongly impressed on the Spirit of the deceased , which proves very burthensome until they have by some means revealed it to those to whom they had a desire to impart it before their Death , but by some accident were prevented , or where there is some great sympathy or similitude between the Soul of the deceased , and the Living , and for this last reason , the Souls of strangers sometimes do make application to such sympathizing Souls of the Living whilst the Body lies asleep , and reveal great secrets , or foretel them of things sometimes good , and sometimes evil , that are likely to befal them .

   • summary: But if once such shall set up their rest in External F●●ms and Modes of R●●gion , and therein begin as it were to stand still and satisfie themselves with their former Attainments and Separations , which migh● be excellent in their day and time , and the only means the Lord then used to 〈◊〉 the soul to vertue ; I say , when any shall fall into such a slothful state , they will in a little time find that saying ve●●fied in their souls . That not to go forwards , is to go backwa●ds and lose all their inward sp●●itual strength , which is divinely signified by our Lord in that parable of the Servan●● , and the in●rusted Talent , he that care esly laid it up in a Napkin , set up his Rest with such a portion o● Grace or L●ght , and indeavour'd not to augment it , is cond●●●●d ; and ' as added , that from su●● an one shall be taken , even tha● which he seem'd to have , and so Christians came to wither and languish , like a Tree that is sapped at the Root ; and then they sensibly decline and Apostatize , or at best do only retain the Complemental outside of Religion , and do indeed keep in memory their first good state , which can no more nourish their Souls to a Spiritual Life and Growth , then a mans bare thinking upon or boasting of a good wholesom meal he made a week or fortnight agon , can support his outward Body in strength and vigour .

   • summary: ●s I remember there were those that came to Aaron , and would have a Calf m●de , &c. and ▪ I remember there was one that came to the Prophet M●caia● , and told him of these and those Prophets that did declare good to the King with one mouth : and let thy word be like the word of one , of them , and s●●●k that which is good : but they were a company of Dreame●● and Ahab doth not love M●●●●b : and he doth never speak a good word to me , wherefore I hate him : and the messenger that goes to him tells him that there were so many hundreds of them that do speak pleasing things to the King , and I pray thee do thou speak such like things to him , that may be matter of contentment to him ; but that Prophet of the Lord would not turn to the right hand , or to the left , for the King , or for any other ; but what God did put into his mouth , that he would speak : and so it is generally , that when the false Prophet doth arise among the People of God , it is because of Gods people that are the cause of it : and it is they that do set them up , and maintain them , and would have pillows laid under their elbows : and why is it so ? why ( my Brethren ) even since it was that Eve did hearken to the voice of the Serpent : And also the children of God are much given to novelties ; these are things that they never heard of before : and if they may have these and those things spoken which they never heard of before , this is all many care for , though they are such things as came not cut of the mouth of God : yet because they are new things , and that please their ●u●ors , therefore they affect them : thus the Apostle Paul , one would think an Apostle good enough ; yet there were many that were unsatisfied with him , as in the Epistle to the Galatians we read , & bewitched with the false Teachers ; these give us ( say they ) the Gospel in this and that way ▪ &c. however they did once look at the Apostle Paul as an Angel of God , even as Christ Iesus : but now the case was altered : and now Paul was no body : and come of him what would , he might st●rve for all them : they were carried away after those that ven●●d their new things . The Devil himself of Hell cannot propos● to them 〈◊〉 lye more abominable then other , but th●● will receive th●●am● , and God is just in this Judgement upon them for d●llying with his truth : and for their not receiving of it ; Satan is an enemy to God , and an enemy to the truth : and when the Co●● 〈◊〉 sow● in the field , then that enemy comes , and ●e sow● his ●ar●s : he hath a great hand in stirring up such men as these , and 〈◊〉 these Dreams into their heads , and he will set up his Kingdome to pull down the blessed Kingdome of the Lord Jesus Christ thereby : and he will have his Ministers , and he will have deceiver● ( transforming himself into an Angel of light ) and he will come in the Name of God , and in the name of Christ also ▪ even 〈◊〉 the ●agabond Jews Act. 19. and the sons of St●●a are said to do so .
