     summary: so before the judgement over take men ; it is the best time for men to do righteously , and thereby escape the wrath to come : Good Reader , I hope I shall be clear from the bloud of this generation , and leave them altogether in excuseable : for why , they have had more warning from me ; then ever any had that I was sent to speak unto , for when I spake to the King and his party ; If they had asked me whether I had spoken any thing by way of Prophesie before that time ? Surely , I could have said nothing to it then , which might have been any ways sufficient to convince them ; because that I had not before that time been sent of God to any for to declare such things : But now it is evident how I was called of God and sent to them , and upon their neglect was sent to the Earl of Essex , and after that to the Presbyterians , and then to the late Parliament , God confirming my words with as many signs as was required of me , and also fulfilling the same always in their due seasons . Then I considering with my self that in regard of the multitude of people daily inquiring of me concerning what hopes I saw of their redemption from these troublesom times , I having for a whole fortnight before constantly prayed to God to send me some extraordinary knowledge , now to satisfie and comfort the people , and found by the strangeness of this mans coming , before he related his Visions , that he was sent of God unto me therewith , as answers to my prayers , I desired him to declare them unto me , promising him through Gods assistance to shew the interpretation thereof , and there upon he repeated them to be in this manner .

     summary: And I said , Lord , what meaneth these Suns , and one to be so bright over the other , and so to darken the rest ? and my God said , that these three Suns hold forth three dispensations , one of them more glorious then the rest , and as they do appear unto you in glory , so did they shine for the time of their being ; and the first Sun doth hold forth the first dispensation , even that , which was given by me the Lord of host to Moses , even that law that was written in Tables of stone , and the children of Israel had amongst them ; therefore as I did appear to my servant Moses in such away as to give him a table of stone wherein was written all my statutes , lawes and judgements , as I commanded my people Israel to observe and keep , as the observing of the seventh day , and the offering of sacrifices , and the slaying of the pascall lamb , and the giving of them by tribes an inheritance , that they should not deal with other nations , as to make marchandise with them , were but all tipes and figures of the appearing of my son Christ in flesh ; and so it was but a darke dispensation , in regard that it was but a dispensation that did hold forth Christ to come in the flesh ; and those that lived under it at that time until Christ had lawes and commandements for to observe ; which they were never able to keep or fulfil ; so in this respect it did shine gloriously for the during or continuance of that time they were to continue ; because they my people Israel , had lawes and ordinances which all the nations besides them had not , and so God did not deal with other people as he did deal with them ; as the psalmist saies , God hath not dealt so with other nations as he hath dealt with us : that was in regard of my love and favour which I had to them as for to make choise of them at the first ▪ & so did take them as a peculiar people from the nations , to whom I did commit my Oracles : yet this was but a weake dispensation , because it could not give life to them that did keep them ; but those that were in the account of me the Lord of host , it was by looking to my promise ; even to Iesus Christ , which I did promise life by ; and so when the fulness of time came , that my son Iesus was to be made manifest in flesh , and was borne , then the dispensation of types and figures ceased , and was not to be ; but was put out by the appearing of the Second Sun ; which was the second administration , even Christ a Saviour coming in flesh amongst man , and so was by power declared to be the Son of God ; herein even I the Lord of host did appear most gloriously to the people in that age , by giving of my son Iesus and his disciples povver to do and work miracles , which continued so long as my son was visible amongst them in flesh , and then it ceased as he ceased from being amongst them ; and this administration , was to continue for a time , as Moses were , for all the lawes , and waies , and rules that are contained in this second administration , as given out by Iesus in the flesh as he were , was but to continue for a time ; which time was to last so long until all the Kingdome shal be delivered up into the hand of the Father , that he might be all and in all ; that is at the end of this administration , I wil take the power uuto my self that is I wil make my self manifest in such an extraordinary way or manner , as wil appear to the confounding or putting out all other lights besides my self ; as the third Sun did appear very glorious to the rest , so wil I in this administration of making out my self , or preaching my self in my sons and daughters , make my glory for to shine in a more extraordinary manner then before I did , for though I by my bright appearing in my sons and daughters , and in the world , at the time that my son was on the earth , did so powerfully operate in them , as that they must needs hold forth my Image of love , for it is love that holds me forth more then any thing , and love it is that is the Image of God , and I the God of gods did make them shew love one unto the other , by making them give bread one to the other , as they did ; And so went from house to house and break bread together and had all things common , this was but a tipe of that great work which I wil now do , as for to make not only my sons and daughters live in love and peace , and union , but also wil make their enemies to be at peace with them , and wil make them weary of their Idol gods , as gold , and silver , and so wil take from them that oppression that hath raigned from time to time ; and this I vvil do in my bright appearing in my sons and daughters , that shal see me to be their life and joy , and so to have nothing in worth or esteem besides my self , and so wil make them to be the City or temple that shall have no need of mens light , or candle-light ; but I , even I their God , will be their light , and so wil speak and preach in them peace and joy , and so wil free them not only from looking after creature objects , but wil wholly draw them up to live in me , and wil make them to see that they are dead , and cannot eat or do any thing , but all their life is I the eternal God dwelling in them , and causing them to hear a word behind them saying , this is the way walke in it ; and so the new Covenant shal be written in their hearts , they shall all know me from the least to the greatest , and they shall sin no more : at by my bright appearing or making out of my self to my people , I wil make them to know me , and all the rest shal know me , for I wil be a terror and a dread to them , and so wil make them to be afraid of me , and know me by my power that I will exercise over them , when my sons and daughters , even the new Jerusalem , shal see former things passed away , and all things become new ; all those things which formerly were sin to them , and did trouble them , to be no longer so , but new , and all sorrow to stay away : then it wil and shal be to them that laugh and mock and revile my Saints now , a fear and a dread , whereby they shal be in misery and in pain for doing so as they have done , for I wil appear very glorious in my sons and daughters , I will destroy them all , even all their enemies , even within and without , so that they shal not sin , but shal be wholly seated in liberty and freedome , and shal do nothing but my pleasure , and I wil joy in them , and Arise , and not only arise but shine , make it appear by your condition , that you are not only risen from the dead , but you have also light come into you ; therefore shine , and be not so dark as you have bin , when you were dead , and in your enemies hands , no , but be on the contrary ; shine , hold forth the glory of me your creator and redeemer , who have ransomed you from the hands of them that were stronger then you , shine , and let my glory be seen upon you , for they shal be afraid of you that hate you ; shine , ye therefore , and be like so many stars that shines in the Firmament , and glister like so many as the only people that are redeemed from death to light : for thy light is come , I am your life and light , and by being absent from you , your condition was a condition of death and darkness , and you were compassed about with abundance of sorrow , by being scattered abroad in the world ; but I who am your life and light , even I the mighty God of Jacob , am now risen to bring you into your own country , even together , ö daughter of Sion , shout and rejoyce , and cry aloud , Sing and make merry , and be glad in your King , who am now Risen with mighty power , for to bring you into your own land ; therefore rejoyce and sing , for thy light is come & Sion that vvas scattered abroad ; but now shal be gathered into your own country , even into Judea : for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you , even my glory is risen upon thee , for to bring thee out of a strange country ; and as Pilgrims and sojourners into your country , there for to make my glory and light shine and rest upon thee : for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee , even upon thee ö captive daughter of Sion : for to make you see and know that I have purposed to bring you into your own country once again , and there to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the earth to see and know my power by which I do things , saith I the Lord of host ; who hath caused my glory for to arise upon thee ; for you have now a more surer word of prophesie , to which you do well to take heed , as to a light that shineth in a darke place , until the day dawn , and the day star arise in your hearts : this was given to the church in that age , who was to observe the word of the Apostles then and at that time , they being but babes and children , & so had a rule for to walk by , which rule the Apostle bids them take heed unto , that they walke by it : for how long ? even saith the same Apostle , until the day break , until there be some further appearance of light , a more glorious dispensation then now is , and the day star in your harts , that is until you do see & know God dwelling in you , and so do see & know Christ , who is the bright and morning star : to be one with the Father , Son , & holy Ghost : but one God dwelling in you , who is your life and strength , and so to see this God in love , to be your All and in all , and the very life of all things : til then you being weake , have had need of a writen rule to walke by , but now you have no longer need of any thing to walk by , no not the Scripture to walk by ; for I even your King and Lord , wil be unto you Scripture , and Law , and rule , and ways , and formes of worships , yea I wil be all : arise and shine , for thy light is come , and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee , even my glory shall now shine upon thee , for to make thee the praise of the whole earth , and the joy of all the nations , arise and shine , for behold darkness shall cover the earth , and gross darkness the people ; arise , shine , your condition wil and shal be happy , saith I the Lord of host , who hath made my glory to shine upon you , even upon you ö Sion ; whom I wil gather into Judea from amongst other people : but I wil tel you one thing , even you whom I do gather up into Judea : for behold this , darkness shall cover the earth , and gross darkness the people : even when you shal see light , and walk in light , and have light to be your guide , and have my glory shining upon you , even then shal others , the earth , be covered with darkness , for there shal be no clear light , and sun shining upon the earth , even upon those that come not up to worship me the Lord of host in Jerusalem , but instead of light , there shal be darkness , and instead of breaking forth of light , there shal be a mist and a cloud that shal overspread it self for a while , so that they that go not up to Jerusalem shal not have that clear light , neither shal they see and know that glory which I wil and shal make out to you ö Sion : for you ö Sion shal eat , and drink , and be ful , and have the bread of life , and water of life , when they that come not up shal be in want , and shal be hungry , when Sion shal be ful ; for I wil take away all their food , even their formes and wayes of worship , and wil utterly destroy them and bring them to nothing ; for these things , as forms of worship have they had some comfort in using them ; but I wil leave these dispensations wherein I have formerly appeared , and wil make darkness cover the earth in this sence , for I wil deprive them of all their formes and Church governments ; for I wil forsake them , and they shal receive no benefit by them , even darkness shal cover them , that they shal not see light in them , even gross darkness , even such a darkness wil and shal light upon poor creatures that walke by forms , and so think to be carried to heaven upon the sholders of their Priests ; but darkness , yea such darkness that both Priest and people shal be amased ; for they shal be driven out of their common-road , and so shal be forced to seek a new way , even this darkness shal light upon those that are malicious and ful of envy , and so would of a sudden destroy their fellow creatures ; darkness wil and shal overcome such ; for though they preach and pray , yet al wil not save them , but that they must be destroyed and brought to nothing ; for saith the Lord of host darkness shall cover the earth : there wil be no clear sight of God , and no clear sight of my way : for they shal not come to my knowledge , and so to the enjoyment of me here or in any place , but where Sion shal be gathered together , even my people , whom I have raised from the dead , and so wil bring them up to Sion , at Ierusalem the City where formerly I dwelt , which is in Judea , and there I wil make them shine , and be the glory of the whole earth : and after this first resurrection that they shal have for to be raised from a condition of death and slavery , into a condition of joy and life , where the Second death shal have no power over them : for this is the resurrection wherein I wil set you free from all death : and you shal dy no more , for I wil be your life , and you shal live for evermore , for now shal appear the sign of the Son of man coming in the ayre : which sign of my coming , is now , forasmuch as I the Lord of host , doth begin to declare unto my servants what I do now intend to do : for this ayre where it is said , then shall appear the sign of the Son of man , is not meant only the ayre above , but rather that ayre which is in this earth of yours ; for as your bodies are earthy , so are they aëry , for they , even your bodys , are not compounded only of earth , but of aire , and so I appearing in your bodies , and so making choice of instruments for to do my work , and my strange worke , that is my sign , or the sign of the Son of man coming in the aire : which sign is for to give people warning of what I intend to do , that so if I find them not doing what I would have them to do , they may the better be judged by me : and so punished for not doing of what I would have them do , for the appearing of my sign , is to declare unto them that I am coming to judge and destroy all things in man , especially in my Saints , besides my self , and so to raise my son up from that grave and place of imprisonment , as now for the present lies in : even to restore her to life , that she may dy no more : for blessed are they that have part in the first resurrection , on whom the second death shall have no power : it is a most joyful saying to them that have themselves raised up to be brought into such a place where they shall die no more : which will be at the place where I have appointed to make my self glorious ; and so vvil appear in my glory , and so make my povver knovvn , by being a God of povver , vvho have raised up Sion from amongst their enemies , and have brought her into her ovvn land , even into a place vvhere she my wife and I must be married , and so they shal live for ever , and never dy no more , for my Sion shal be changed , & so shal become nevv ; for the old man vvhich for the present they carry about them , shal be destroyed , and the nevv man Christ shal come forth ; and so they shall live for ever , and never dy more ; and so after this they shal be as the Angels of God , as my son Christ said , that should neither marry or be given in marrige but shal live in the ful enjoyment of me , vvho am the Lord of host , that lives for evermore , for vvhen they are brought into the ful and perfect enjoyment of me , and be at peace vvith themselves , so as they shal never marry or give themselvs in marriage , according to the customes of us , novv these customs shall vvholy be destroyed , and a nevv one shal come in , that they shall live in pure and perfect enjoiment of me their creator , and so shal have the use of those vvhom I appoint together , and so shal have the use of one another .
