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

Jane Lead preaches about the unbreakable Love-Chain between God and His
people, emphasizing the eternal nature and quality of the Spirit. She
encourages entering into this infinite Love, symbolized by passing
through the Third Gate, which leads to restoration and abundance through
God's strong love. The sermon references a Visional Representation
called The Magical Journey, highlighting the manifestation of Wisdom's
Principle and the Philadelphian-State beginning, with St. John as the
President of the Holy Magicians.

THE Word this Morning came to me thus: The Love-Chain is not to be
unlinked betwixt God and you, while the Spirit is the only Eternal
matter and quality. Therefore it will take hold so strongly, as to draw
and fix within the circumference of the very immense Love, from which
the Enmity is separated. Oh enter into this Love, for this is the
infinite space, which is beyond the *Third Gate.

*This invisible Love-Chain, will work through the First Gate, which is
so strait and narrow, if you give all length and breadth within you, to
wind you up swiftly hither. For what is so strong as God's Love; for
restoring into the desireable Fruition of all Plenty and Goodness.

[This refers to a Visional Representation, called The Magical Journey,
inserted in the First Volume, pag. 53 which seems to belong to this
Place: or at least to have been now again revived, as it was afterward
(a Third Time) in the Year 1696. For it doth plainly relate to the
Manifestation of Wisdom's Principle, or of a New LEBANON, through the
mighty Powers of FAITH working by LOVE, in the Philadelphian-State now
Beginning. Whence St. John is made to be the President of the Holy
Magicians, or Wise men: who hath so excellently above all others
described this Love. And with the Vision of the 30th of the last Month
most expressly agrees what is there Written, pag. 62. 1. 13. Afterward I
was brought into a barren dry Ground, and this by the speaking forth
only of a Word (as, Let this Soil be changed into a fruitful LEBANON)
brought up all variety of pleasant Flowers and Plants, &c. See the Three
Gates there described.]
