. Be it so as thou haft said, for it is a just judgement.

How hearken, what the Lord faith. The people and City of the Hilly is the worlds which are

from time to time by the-mercy attdfprtng of Gods wisdom, relieved .. quenched : according to theextremity and necessity of their thirsting : But the people and City are such as are of the Templemd Church of God, which dr inst of his mercy to their comfort. The Camels and other beasts arethe people of the Earth , which delight ihfin, and in their own imagination, which a if) are relievedWith those that are of the City : but the diversities of their bodies, doth cause the diversity of theends of their comfort . The Hill wherein the Spring is, fignifieth his Prophets, and such as arcdrunken in the Lord : Thr ough whom, inwardly the mercies and will of God and of the Highestare open from time to time, according to the secret wili and determination of such as are withinthe City of his E/eft. But the frailties and assertions of their flesh and outward man, are theirfond imaginations and loose Shingles wherein the Serpent, the old Devil, hath harboured her cbil~dr en the spirits of darkneffe and deceit,which alwayes resist the Will, of God , and are put betwet*the nerciesof God and his people. Moses, Daniel, Esdras, all the reft of the Prophets : Chrisbis twelve , Paul the cflleffenger of God, they did all hurt the Congregation of the Faithfnl in theirflesh. Until they gave sentence against themselves ( as thou haft done ) with amendment of life : .for who is worthy to kjiow the secrets of our God,but he that de light eth in right eoufneffe , it obedient,full of faith, and the spirit of understanding ? Be it therefore unto thee at thou hast said. Let the,Shingles and Serpents be separated, that the Fountain may feed as before. All the trajh that tbot_

baji of the wickjd, burn it.

E. K- 1 do not know, they are wicked.

...... Their doings with thee, are the hindrance of the Will of God, and therefore th<f

are wicked.

. . Thou haft.given judgement against thy self Taste heed thou offend not thy own foul.

k. Send down thy Spirit O Lord, and illuminate E. K. his heart with perceiving of f » 5wrong opinion, &c.

E.K . HMoses and Daniel were skilful in the Arts of the Egyptia* 1Magicians, and were not thereby hindred for being the servants o fGod>Why may not I deal with these, without hindrance to the Will otCod ?

...... Darkneffe yeilded unto light : the Greater excluded the lesser. The mire a mankjtovtt^

wickfdneff ?, the mere he flail hate it, being called back.. The more they knew the shadow, sowere they delighted in the body : For the doings of the Egyptians, seem, and are not so.

doings of the Lord are, and continue ; for as the Painter imitateth the gestures of man in his j*'CltltJ, f> doth the Devil the substances and things created and made by God.

Stand up and look. into the whole World, into her youth, and middle a,ge, for they are f*rWhere are the monuments that Satan hatkbuilded ?

E. K. Hath Satan builded any monuments ?

.. Tes : Hath he not builded him a Fort upon the whole Earth ? Hath he not the viffl)

ever the Saints ? Dwelleth he mt in tbeT^ewfile of the ? j.viumsheth he not

Cities of the whole World ?

Tes . But without comfort, are his viUories : without pleasure his dwelling places. For

fyuoweth his time k at hand. He that mw giveth freedom, flail become bound 5 And unto ^ ,the whole World is as a Garden, flail there be no one foot left. Therefore are all his pleasures ^

mty: alibis Triumphs fmoa\_, and his Authority, nothing indeed, but a meer shadow : For >

that is not,cannot be ; where , it is said of the Lord, it flail not be. Neither can truth, Upor wisdom, ascend from the Earth, but descend from the Heavens.

Compare the Earth, ( into the which the Devil is thrust as into his dwelling ) with the Heaveswhich are provided for the holy. Consider the pain of the one, and the pleasure ofthe other •feat of Gods Justice, and Fountain of his Mercy : The Cave of Darkneffe, and the Diade^ yLight. And then cry,wo,wo,wo, unto such as erre, and whose lives are but shadows: Forfelicity U such, as from whence it came ; and their reward is all one , with the spirit and. print 1Darkneffe.

Compare fond knowledge, with true wisdom, Thy spirits of lying with us, that are the v °yof truth : The vanity that they lead thee into , and the reward of our message : And faythyself, peccavi. Wilt thou le perfwaded by experience ? Consider thy imprisonments, ^

fiction and flame of body. Consider the love of a few, and envy of a multitude. Weigh J
