but the shadow; for I must come again in the WOMAN to fulfil the substance.-Flock of Sheep, 84. So now in print let this appear,

To try the heads of men,

And with their bibles this compare,
And like the knight become,
That heard the cry, as he did say—
The MOTHER and the CHILD.
He view'd the planets for to see
What fortune on him smil'd:
And did discern in her his own,
Which he did first reject;
Till heavenly stars made her his own,
By wonders to protect.

So wonders here do strong appear,
Much greater than the child

Which in the end you'll all see clear,

Bless God you all were foil'd.

F. of Sheep, 91.

Men have always sought MAN to be the DAVID established upon the throne, and always made ME to be the URIAH, that was slain in the front of the battle; but now, I tell thee, for this the sword never shall depart from MAN, till a SOLOMON doth appear, that will ask wisdom of God; then shall my throne be established, and the house shall be built in my name.-Jos. Southcott's Book, 48.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry.-Ask and receive thy full demands, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces, like a potter's vessel. Now let them tell me, who is my Son? or to whom that promise was made? or whom that SPIRIT of the LORD was to be upon, to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captive, and the opening of the prisons to them that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn?

Jos. Southcott's Book, 57, 8.

I plac'd the shadow there,
Then in the CHILD, when so he smil'd
Upon my every friend;

And now you'll find the time's at hand
I shall the SAME descend;

But first they'll see, I now tell thee,

ME like the CHILD appear.

W. M. of C. 39.

My Isaacs shall be unbound: no longer shall they invite men; no longer shall they intreat them; but they shall stand valiantly in their faith, and wait till men shall invite them; wait till men shall intreat them, to let them stand the trial, that they may see the NEW CREATED BEING-that they may see the NEW COVENANT that is making with MAN.-W. M. of C. 45.

But no one knows what lies behind,
That thou another day may'st find,
Nor in what manner I shall come
To shew my power IN THY FORM.
The woman's fall I now must free,
Ere man's redemption he will gain;
For now to all I speak more plain,
While SHE is bound, can MAN be free?
The BONDSWOMAN, you all do say,
Must be cast out, when I do clear
To make the free, the perfect HEIR.

If you weigh deep the TRINITY,
The WOMAN must be given;
To free you all from Adam's fall,
Her promise she must claim.
I made a MOTHER for you all,
And called so to man;

'Then know, the BRIDE must be applied,

That I have known so here,

To claim the promise as I've said,
And then the perfect HEIR

She makes of ME-all flesh shall see
A MOTHER then for all!

So I'll appear the SON and HEIR,

And now my brethren call.

Trial, 86.

Trial, 87.

1 Ex. of the Bible, 89,

The MOTHER here they must see clear,
The TRUE MOTHER is come

To claim the SON to be the HEIR,

And free the whole for man.

Then see the chain that must remain,

The MOTHER and the BRIDE,

To bring in MAN with ME to stand,
For so't must be applied.—

I have rais'd her here

To be a MOTHER first to ME;

And so must men appear

To say the BRIDE must be applied

"A MOTHER for us all;

My SPIRIT here is come,

As at the first, it must be known,
When I the VIRGIN warn'd.
In PERSON here I might appear,
But now it is not so:

It is in SPIRIT I am here,

That every soul shall know.、

Then judge the two before your view
The MOTHER and the BRIDE

Came both from ME, you ́all shall see,
The HOLY GHOST applied,

As at the first, 'tis now at last,

Though 'tis a different way.

í Ex. B. 92.

I Ex. É. 93.

1 Ex. B. 94.

Let them answer me, why I made the woMAN my MOTHER, if I never designed in the end to make the WOMAN a TRUE MOTHER for MAN.— 1 Er. B. 96.

I fell to rise again, to throw down all Satan's power, and cast the CORNER STONE on him: for all men must know that that CORNER STONE meaneth the promise that was made in the fall. 2 Er. B. 106.

Thou spakest in vision to thy' HOLY ONE, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. I will make him my FIRST BORN, higher than the of the earth.--2 Er. B. 116.

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under

his feet. Yet have I set my KING upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto ME, thou art my SON; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of ME, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.-2 Ex.

B. 118.

Let men see clear what's written there,

And trace the Psalms like thee,
And then I bid them answer here,

How they the whole can free?
What vision first can they now place,
That did of ME foretel?

That help on ME should surely be,

The mighty one excel ?

Or what FIRST BORN was judg'd by men
To be exalted so,

Higher than earthly kings to come,

Above them, you do know?

2 Ex. B. 119.

While I was yet with them, I plainly told them what should happen in the end. But did the other COMFORTER come then, to abide with men for ever?

I tell you, no: the other COMFORTER is the fulfilment of my word, at my second coming in power to destroy all the works of the devil; but that COMFORTER must first come in the SPIRIT, whom the FATHER sendeth in my NAME.-3 Ex. B. 210.

-No promise didst thou claim,
Until I bade thee in my name
To ask a favour then of ME,
That now your joy fulfill'd might be;
Because thou ask'st the very thing
That now the COMFORTER will bring.

And now the PROMISE I shall clear,
The WOMAN'S SEED shall bruise his head;
And therefore in her I shall plead
Until her SEED do so appear

To join with ME and join with her,
And then my words you

all shall see,

You'll dwell in God, and God in ye;
For then in ME you will abide-

D

3 Ex. B. 236.

And mark from Pilate what he said:
He ask'd ME if I was a KING;

Then know the words I answered him;
His words I did repeat again—
Thou sayest that I am a KING;
And for this end I did appear-
I came the every thing to clear,
And of the WOMAN I was born,
That at the end it should be known
That as a KING I shall appear,

And so my kingdom I'll bring here.

3 Ex. B. 237. The SPIRIT and the BRIDE are come to warn all men of my coming. Now let the world answer me, how I could be the beginning and the ending, the first and the last, without I accomplish according to my words? Was I not the beginning in the creation, to form MAN in my own likeness, and make the WOMAN for his helpmate and happiness? This was my plan in the beginning when I made man at first, then I must accomplish it in the ending, if I am the last.

He that doth overcome,

His GOD I surely will appear,

3 Ex. B. 261.

And make him as my SON.-3 Ex. B. 264.

The LAW before no man could clear

The way that I should come,
Till I in Bethlehem did appear,
And of the WOMAN born-
But none did see the mystery
Why I that way should come;
That when the LAW I did redeem,
And free the FALL of MAN,
I must appear, I tell you here,

In SPIRIT in her FORM;
Because 'tis she the end must free,
To have her promise known.-

Thou know'st the Jews believ'd in ME,
A ROOT that should appear;
A BRANCH of DAVID they should see,
To bring their kingdom here;

3 Er. B. 276.
