DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jane Lead preaches about a vision of a golden line with intricately
woven knots representing the Girdle of the Trinity, symbolizing unity
and strength for the broken and sorrowful in spirit. Despite attempts by
some to untie the knots, it is revealed that only sacred hands can touch
and loosen them, emphasizing the divine protection and care for the weak
and feeble. The eternal nature of the knots signifies God's unending
support and guidance for His people, leading them to His eternal fold
through faith and unity.

There was this Morning framed to my inward sight, a wreathed line of
Gold, and there were Knots curiously wrought at the middle, and each end
of the line, that was shewn to me: but from whence it came, I saw not.
But suddenly there were some, that did look at it with a troubled
Countenance, and would have laid hands upon it, conspiring to have
loosed the Knots. But it was said, No unsacred Hands shall these touch,
or can them ever unloose.

For it is the Girdle of the Trinity, that will gird up the joints of the
Broken, and Sorrowful in Spirit, whose strength alone is found in this
Girdle of Unity, clasped on by the Buckle of Faith, which is of great
attraction.

And that which was very observable, there was no end or beginning of the
Golden Knots for to loosen them, so enterwoven, as nothing can parallel
it. O the unseen way of God's method to keep up the weak and feeble
Lambs, that are to be brought into his own Eternal Fold.
