'Tis ALL gave up to ME.

And now I'll come in words so strong
Thy Father said before

His former sins to him were come,
When thy grief did appear;

How many womens' hearts he'd broke?,
And I may say the same!

Because in love for him they dropp'd ;—
The martyrs did appear

Then in the flames, for ME they came,
It was for love they stood-

And 'tis for love, I now shall prove,
All this I now allude;

Because that here thou dost appear
A suffering Child for ME

And now the past I mean to clear,
Thy Father's passion see―

How all was plac'd when he did burst
In grief he could nor bear;

His former sins he said were plac'd,

And then his heart did tear,

To think that one his Child's become
To feel the fatal smart;

What he before by love had done,
And broke the Womens' hearts.-
Then now my sins where said by him,
To my remembrance come;
And now the same, I say to men,
My Bible you discern ;

The guilt of All on me did fall,
They plac'd the sin there first;
And so my Lovers I see all,
In sufferings have been cast.

Now all together you must bring,
And place before your view;

And then thy Father's Love they'll see,

The Likeness to be true

That I the same in Love AM come,
To see what Guilt I bore;
It was to free the FALL of men
I did THAT WAY appear;
And so to man I then did come,
My Lovers then were cast ;—

in broken hearts, they died for ME;-
Or, cruel torments burst.

All this for ME, I plainly see

As soon as we had finished our Letters for one Post to send to Mr Sharp in London, THE DAY being ordered by the Spirit for us to do so; the following day we are ordered to take up our pens to write to you: so that you cannot have a clear and regular account, as you have had already, nor Mr. Sharp either-for, the true knowledge is concealed from you Both before the Books are out of the Press: and just so stands all mankind that know not the way "He treadeth the wine-press of his Father's wrath: nor, what vengeance was in His Heat;-no more than you know what letters are sent to Mr. Sharp; or Mr. Sharp know the letters that are now sent to you; so you must draw your own judgments, as you can, before you see both the books together, and the Forbidden Fruit is placed before you; for you must not write one Communication of mine to Mr. Sharp, but you may write any to Leeds.

Joanna has been confined to her Bed ever since Tuesday night, but though the LORD hath cast her down, He has promised to raise her up; but she is able to set up in her bed, and deliver to us

the words of The LORD, that are spoken to her, But she feels the anger of the Lord is greatly kindled, and soon they will see Him break forth in fury; for they have refused the promise, that was made to man in Creation; and they have refused the promises that were LAST made to man in their Redemption. But now I shall put all things plain before you, and I will make them as naked as thou art in thy Bed, and they shall find they have no more wisdom, no more understanding, no more knowledge of My Word, than thou hast clothing upon thee-which from the heat of thy Fever thou hast none, having thrown the Bedclothes from thee. And so shall the heat of My Fury make them lay down in the dust, as weak as thou art :-and I will strip them of all their Clothing-I will strip them of all their Wisdom; for I am as sick of their Wisdom, as thou hast been of thy Tea; and I will spue them out of my mouth, as thou hast spued out thy Tea-and I will give them Bitters to drink, as thou art drinking now. To have this be understood, the agitation of the Spirit Joanna has been in the last seven days, has brought her weak, and faint, and so sick, that she cannot drink her Tea, but brings it up again, and is obliged to drink Camomile Tea, which she cannot bear. For I am sick of their Wisdom, and I shall make them sick of MINE: for the Cup of My Fury is kindled against them, and My heart is hot within Me: they shall feel the Hand of the Lord heavy upon them, as heavy as thou feelest My Hand, when thou groanest under it, and said, thou shoulds't die, and prayed to be delivered from the power of the devil, for at that time thou so judged ME.

61

"And now the nation shall the Likeness see-
Because at first thou felt'st the Hand of GOD,
So heavy on thee pressing with such Load;
That thou said'st satan surely must be there;
Thou felt'st the hand under thy neck appear'd,
And then thy body it was pressed so,

That thou wast' dying, thou didst judge, I know;-
But rest and peace within thee thou didst find,
And now I'll perfect tell My every mind-
It was the Parables in all to clear,

[ocr errors]

That in like manner I did press thee there;`
To prove
the Likeness now in all was true,
The rage of hell that night before I knew
Was close upon thee; thou didst feel his power,
And then thou know'st I told thee of an hour,`
That thou should'st wake to see the Lord appear;
And much like Osmyn I did then come there,
And think what Agonies that she did bear;
When Osmyn held her by the trembling hand,
And shew'd the picture; judge how she must stand,
With heart oppress'd, and much more grief than thine;
Because that sweetness in thy heart thou'st find;
And all that sweetness thou shalt find in ME-
Conscience at peace, and all thy guilt I'll free;
Because thy weakness I will never blame--
Thy doubts and fears shall only put to shame.
THE BOASTED CONFIDENCE that is in man;
When they'd no footing in the least to stand,-
If that My, Bible they did e'er discern;
Their jealousy, like thine, must them alarm:
And say, they fear THE WOMAN may BE TRUE;
And bring our Bibles plain before our view.

For, if the second Adam must appear,

We know the LAMB's wife, she is mention'd there;
She must be ready for to stand the Bride,

And now avenge the Cause where first it laid;
And see the vengeance that was in My heart,
To have the woman to avenge her dart
Upon the serpent, that did bruise My heel;
Because by arts he've surely stung the whele-
And now the enmity in man do fall;

Against the woman's sced they now are coine;
But from thy lovers I shall here go on-
Remember him that told thee of his store,
He'd gold enough for both, he'd want no more-
Then now on John I surely here will lean,
A shadow deep, that I shall now explain;-
He wished to wed before the time was up;
But know thou told'st him so it would not drop-
And now I tell thee thou hast wish'd the same,
To wish the marriage ere the time was come.
But know I told thee this could never be;
In MY APPOINTED TIME the Truth thou'lt sce:
And now I tell thee My appointed time
Js for the present, every soul shall find;
Or else the ending they'll all find like John-
The part the journey he with thee did come,
And then the journey he did take no more;-
Because that night I bolt'd the every door:-
When thou before My Throne did'st so complain,
And wish'd an interest in my heart to gain-
Then know the answer that I then gave thee;
That a new heart in thee should surely be;
And on it there I'd build my every law,
And put My Spirit there the fools shall know,
That by a woman thus 'twas never done:
Then the Creation by her you must plan,
If you do place it to a Woman here;
Or to the devil now, you Fools take care-
For now My Folly shall begin to break,
And from the Mid-night hour My wisdom speak-
But from the Mid-night hour I'll first appear,
When Peter West thy heart did so ensnare ;
And told thee then how deeply he did love,
And thou the shadow in thy heart did prove,
And know at Mid-night that you two did part.-
And know at Mid-night thou didst feel the dart,
That was of Love to kindle in thy breast,
And the war within thy heart did burst:

Thy foolish heart was wandering then from Me,
Let it not wander was the prayer of thee;
Unless thy Husband I did him design,

And from thyself thou then did'st fix the time,
