She thought that he should sin conceal,
Sooner than go for to reveal,

The Crime her Mother then had done;
She cast the blame upon the man—
Her Mother's Crime she did not see;
Her Father's Honor to betray;
To bring her Footman to his Bed,
She thought that Evil might be hid :-
And in her heart condemn'd the man,
That told her Father what she'd done ;—
And he himself as much did blame,
When all the deaths he saw that came
From every Truth that he had told―
The mysteries here I shall unfold.—
When that My Truth did come to man,
Discover'd first by satan's hand;
I said, if so it did appear,

That he the truth had spoken there;
My eldest Daughter then would be,
I well know then the Brides of he,
Till every heir I had cut off,

And all My Lands were gone to nought,
And now to nought they all are come―
I said the Woman did condemn

The love to man that did appear,
And all the blame she cast it there
Upon the devil, that betray'd;

For so the Likeness now I've laid

The Shadow's in the simple man,

That smote his breast-in haste did run

And so in haste he did appear,

The Types for men and devils here;

Because he said, if that he did lie,

The Gallows should come round that way-
Unto His words the man did hold,
Then now let satan's heart grow cold;

For when the Truth I came to know

Both lies and truth from him did flow;-
'I'was true that they had disobey'd
But 'twas by him they were betray'd:-
Then now the second words shall come,
The younger Daughter shall be known,
Shall gain the Every and for Me:
As then the elder did for he;
Because the Last shall now be First,

For so My Bible all is plac'd.
And if the last the first appears,
The ekter Daughter sure is here,
That now shall gain My every Land,
And you with her ip Marriage stand;
Then all My Lands you now shall have,
For true are the words the Man did give,
To say the woman him betray'd,
And true the woman then she said,
Satan had tempt'd her thus to do,
And every word I knew was true.
Therefore the Curse pronounc'd it great ;--
For well I knew where laid deceit ;
But then My Honor could not clear,
As Disobedience I found there.

The man and woman soon did own,
And so in death they both did come
Dead to all knowledge then of Me→
The other Promise none do see,
That lie th behind prepared for man;
If his bed was efii'd by One,
A servant then that did appear,
Another servant was the Heir;
Because the Truth that he had told;
And now the mystery I'll unfold-
The Truth by him was told at first,
What from the woman's hand did burst;
And when the woman did appear,

And said the serpent tempt'd her there;
And so the words 1 knew were true,

And cast on satan then his due;
But as the whole were naked then,
I could not fight with simple men,
That had no Clothing then to clear,
I knew no knowledge then was there.
Therefore their Clothing I put on,
And at that time I cover'd them,
With nought but Goat Skins I put on,
Till ages faster did roll on-

Then every Clothing I put on,

To shew My BIBLE and MY WORD,

And shew them all My gliftering Sword ;—

How all My Bible it doth stand,

And here's the Clothing you command;
If like that youth you now will be,
And put your Clothing on for Me;-

105

Against the devil now complain,

You all may swim through Jordan's stream:
But if in beds defil'd you lie,

In satan's arms, I now do say,
Just like they two you all shall fall,
And here's a warning to you all.-
For now my promise it shall stand-
My daughter now shall gain the Land,
And all that are in Bonds with she,
My every Land shall gain that way:
For now the Iruth is fairly try'd,
I've chose her for to be the Bride,
And I MYSELF to be the Heir;
My FATHERs every land to share-
For now I'll place MYSELF to man,
That said he'd die the Truth to claim
If it was lies upon his head,

He said on him it should be laid-
And so he said the Truth to clear
He'd die, or be the perfect Heir;
And so in grief he first did die-
The second promise still must lie,
For he to be the perfect heir;

And now the Likeness I've brought here.
For now the Truth I say shall burst,
I plac'd the Likeness of the First
In true Obedience for to stand,
The men and women I command-
What I forbid they must not do
What I command they must pursue→→→
And by the Women this is done,
And satan like the Footpage came:
Or, in My form he did
appear,

And strong belied the Woman here
Which I did say, if it was true,
I'd give him Gentiles and the Jews
I'd give him up My every Land,
If he the truth could now command.
But when the Truth I came to know,
I found the lar so to go,

With nought but lies he did appear,
To say that they had'st risen here,
A way that I did thee forbid;
And now I'll bring it on his head;
Because the lies he told at first

1

Upon his head I plac'd the Curse;
But to go through I could not clear;
Because that man was guilty here.
But now from guilt I know thou'rt free,
Because 'twas I that order'd thee
Out of thy bed that way to come;
And so to travel up and down,
The skeleton for to appear.
The naked woman you see here:
As she appear'd in nought but bone,
And thou no clothing hadst got on-
For, at that time, I sure was there,
When satan did so strong appear;
For to condemn with every lie,
I tell thee I was standing by-
And I the Witnesses did hear;
So the blind shepherds may appear,
That to the Fold do drive my sheep,
That way he lulls them all asleep;
And in bis arms he holds them fast,
Until with rage that I shall burst,
And place him in Lord Burnet's room,
For there he's bringing on their doom-
Upon the Nation I see first,

The men and women so are plac'd,
By satan's fury FIRST TO DIE;
He holds them, and he then does cry,
That they are guilty of the deed:
He tells them 'tis no use to flee,
Because of dangers there are none—
"Tis the blind shepherds blow the horn,
That at the midnight men did hear,
And at the mid-day did appear-
For I have gone through day and night,
To blow the horn the wretch to fright:
Or else, to make mankind to fear,
That they may part and sin no more.
But judge that danger's in the sound,
That in their beds they mayn't be found:
For if that satan find them so,
I know his fury it must go,
And say that they are justly cast;

107

Because he found them in their lust,
In every thing that I forbid;
Then in this truth he may proceed,
To strike them with the fatal blow;
Though his own death I well do know
Shall follow after like the man;

And that's the way his death shall come.
Because his bride he's murdering here,
That he by sin have wedded clear;
But yet no bridegroom can he stand,
'Tis but a shadow of the man-
And that's the way they will be cast,
That like the woman now do burst;
When they My alarming Horn do hear,
To say blind shepherds do appear,
Driving my sheep unto the Fold,
That way their hearts will all grow cold.
Then to the others 1 shall come,
That spoke the truth you know by man:
And if the truth was found in he,-`
You know the lands were said to be
Then with My Heiress all his own;
And perfect so it now shall come:
Because that I'll stand to the word,
And he shall TREMBLE at a GOD,
That came in power the truth to see-
Therefore the night I work'd in thee,
To leave thy bed, and travel on,

The words before thee must be shewn."

After part of the explanation given to me, concerning the parable of Lord Burnet, all the sense of what has been written to-day, broke in upon me, after they had given over writing. I then was answered, "take up thy bed and walk," As I was walking up and down, pondering in my heart the events of the day, and what was said of the promise made to the Boy, if he had told the truth, the Spirit of the Lord entered into me with
