The Revelation

In the hopeful Expectation of which, I have been driven to disclose these great and deep Secrets, being assured, That this Generation shall not pass away before there shall be a fulfilling of what hath been revealed, and Prophecyed of, in this little Tract. And blessed are they that shall have their lot and portion herein. There is a rich Bank yet behind, from whence the oily Springs do fill, that may be emptied forth, when Vessels are made more fine, and ready thereof to take in. For the which we shall wait, and seek to find some such to partake of that rich and weighty Prize, that yet lieth in the secret and eternal Mine. For there is Vally deep, which under the Water of Life doth lie, that will bring forth the fruitful Olive Plants; that shall be there fed and nourished Hiddenly: till of a strong and full grown stature in Spirit and Power they may come for to be. Then will they shew themselves to the true Israel of God universally; and the Priestly Kingdom will come for to spread and flourish every where, in Power and great Glory, sealed with the Mission of the Holy Ghost; acting & going forth in signal miraculous working Powers, for confirmation of the truth of this Dispensation, in such a way as none shall resist, nor any dark Magician shall be able to counterfeit. For so strong and impregnable is the Foundation of this Temple-body of Glory, that neither Dragon, Beast or false Prophet shall be able it to undermine; it being built and compact together, of Precious Saphire Stones, transparent for Beauty and Glory; the Jasper Stone being both Foundation and Covering thereon. Then will the shout of a King be heard in the Land of Salvation. Oh! ye holy and elect of God, where-ever you have been hid, appear, if you have put on your Anointed Shield, promote and help forward this Royal Priesthood, wherein the lively express of the Holy Ghost is to be manifested. Oh! that some such might be known, that hereto do give themselves, and mind no other thing, as the Lord’s approved Work-men, that may come to build up the inward Priestly Temple, whose Furniture and Glory shall be the Gifts and Powers of the Holy Ghost. And now, what have I more to do, but to wait in hope, that the pure flaming Spirit may henceforth go forth to gather in this Priestly Host: who, as in a wreathed Chain of Love united may be inseparably; that so we may come to take our degrees of Prophets, Priests and Kings, for the making good what hath been in this Treatise Revealed. Which though in the form of a dead Letter: yet, O God, as the Author hereof did in the writing meet with a mighty flow of the Anointing Presence; so let the same out-flowing Spring accompany such, whom thou hast ordained to be taken into this Holy Priestly Order: to which give thy Amen, O great High-Priest, to whom the Glory hereof doth belong. * Even so let that Kingdom come into this World, that shall consist of Kings, Priests and Prophets. With all such Righteous Plants, let the whole Earth be planted, for Joy and Praise to him who is the Antient of Days. Hallelujah to him who is KING of Kings. * This was Printed in the First Edition of this Book, but in the Manuscript Copy is not found.
