Jane Lead preaches about the spiritual journey of facing inward struggles and attacks even after experiencing enlightenment, emphasizing the refining process of the soul through trials and tribulations to become pure Nazarites dedicated to God. She discusses a mystical vision symbolizing the pursuit of divine wisdom and the restoration of a sinless state through partaking in incorruptible spiritual fruit. Lead encourages believers to strengthen their faith, persevere in spiritual disciplines, and await a transformation into a spiritual body, ultimately bringing heavenly transformation to the world.

Upon the consideration how liable we were after all the degrees of Spiritual Manuductions we had received, and passed through, yet still subject were, to strange Vicissitudes, as to the inward State of our Minds, viz. to all Spiritual Desertions, and to the Cloudings of our Heavens, and to the stoppings of the Life-Springs. After all which my Spirit was inquisitive, Why highly illuminated Spirits should be thus exercised, and so hardly invaded upon, with what is so treacherous to their Life-Crown and Glory, and that after they have been exalted into the Heaven of Light, Joy, and Peace? This resolve was given me, that for some causes this was meet to be suffered. First, To make the Spirit thus assaulted, as Joshuah did, to enquire and to bring all and every Tribe before the Lord Jesus, that is every secret thing, that lieth in the Essences of the Will, to stand to the touch of the Flaming-Bush, through which we must pass, for a thorough refining, in order to be pure Nazarites to live with God alone. Then again, these over-running of our inward Plantations by the Beast of prey, may happen to let us know, we are not yet come up to that security, and impregnable defence, but that we may be faced and captivated with those very Enemies, that have been so often conquered by us. And all this is to make us more watchful and vigilant, and to call for all our Spiritual force and might in God, who delights to hear and receive from us strong Cries and Supplications, who will hear us in what we fear, after we have resisted, steadfast in the Faith. All which batterings and shakings shall make for the laying of a more sure Foundation. For this Word was spoke to me expressly to this end, and upon the complaints account, saying, O thou afflicted, and sorrowful in Spirit, thy barren Ground with new Seed shall be sown, that thy Light may rise and thy Love encrease, thy Water-spouts to run free, and that thy droughty Land may be refreshed, and that thou mayst eat the Fruit thereof joyfully. Only for a while abide in purity of Heart and Mind, in all patience and long-suffering, and thou shall see all this fully performed. This Morning the first springing matter that opened, was from what I had some Days ago (Margin note: Febr. 14.) presented by way of Vision. Of which I had no Interpretation, till some what now did stir it up afresh, and call'd it over as a thing of consequence. The Vision was that pleasant Fruit, which I did see about an enclosed Wall, after which I so longed to taste it, because I was informed by the Keeper thereof, that it was Magical Fruit, that was always there to be found fresh, Winter and Summer both alike, and its operation would come to be of the same kind in those, who would come to eat hereof. Of this the Spirit minded me to look into, and consider, why the live Bird was brought out from thence, and slain before my Eye, and then given into my Hand, which in a moment was turned into the very likeness of this all desireable Fruit, of which I did then eat. The Spirit by way of Dialogue did illustrate this mystical Vision, saying a second Eve thou art, who dost earnestly desire to be made wise, as believing there is, that excellent virtue in this never failing Fruit, which never can corrupt, and can make those that do eat hereof incorruptible. Therefore it is not such an unlawful and forbidden temptation to thee, as it was unto the first Eve, who being in an Innocent and Sinless state, and was not to go herefrom any higher, till God himself did appear to them, but giving an ear to a strange Voice, brought their posterity into that wretched State of Apostacy, that all need there is to find out the Fruit in which the divine Magia Spirit is, for recovery of the Paradisical Sinless Body again. Now ever since Adam's relapse, various ways and helps have been propounded for restoration from this evil plunge, and it hath been doing near this 6000 Years, but not finished. The World in Wickedness still doth lye, as it was in Noah's time, though Christ that perfect God-man hath in the Earth been manifested, yet Sin doth still remain, and in those also, who do chiefly make claim unto his Blood-offering. Then hence weigh and consider, that something further is yet to be done for a Blessed overturn in this latter Age. For all shall not still dye in Sin, and pass from out of the Elementary Body into unknown Mansions, where the living here do know nothing more of them. For this Vision doth signifie, that this time is now passing away, and another state of things is approaching, and thou art an awakened representative hereof, through thy Spiritual piercing Eye, that has espied this choice Fruit, which thy Spirit longeth and presseth to taste, and the operation thereof to know. But though this pretious Fruit is obvious to a pure Spirit, yet it is kept, and protected by a flaming Cherub, and though intelligence is given, yet it cannot come to take hereof, though in never so much vehement hunger, for the lost Image, to be repaired hereby. The Spirit added, True it is, that all of this kind is by free Gift: and upon such Eternal Wealth, there is a mighty strong enclosure. But know it, there will be some grants of Favour in particular to such, whose Spirits are often driven out from themselves to see out a better living, than they shall ever find out in Nature's Terrestrial Essences. For such the Holy Watcher shall receive or take up to reveal this Pallace-Wall, and to set open the Gate for Holy Souls, that would be in dis-junction from all of Sin, and from a vile Body. For such are appointed to be the first, who shall bring down the Heavenly and Coelestial transformation into this World. Then I was further inquisitive, what the live Birds were, that were taken out of the Branches of this Tree, and one of them given slain into my Hand, and immediately changed it self into the desireable Fruit? Then was shewn me that the humane Body that was offered up for the atoning Sacrifice for Sin, was by the Bird slain, figur’d out. Which hereby is changed into a more Spiritual and Powerful quality, for Spiritual meat, to feed upon. Such as may by a pure Spirit be able to eat, may have their gross Humanity alter'd into a Spiritual Body. And as we are able to partake hereof, then corruptible corporeity shall for ever cease, answerably as it did with our Lord Jesus, and with him incorporated to be, and thence to spring and to yield Fruit, from the essential Power of his Life, thus given after this Mystical manner. Which non can perceive or find but those, who are instructed and guided by the Spirit. Then enquired I further, for whom the other slain Bird was reserved? To which this Answer was given, that it was allotted for them, who did wait with me in the same Faith, for a transformation. Now then, what estimation can we have sufficiently for such a Ministration, as may bring to this perfection. And for this end improve our believing, as the way for attaining it. It was also the Counsel of the Spirit to be mighty in Faith, for in the Power of that Winged Spirit, we may find entrance into this enclosed Palace. And then the sight will attract this Principal gift, while we have here our daily walks in the Spirit, abstaining and keeping a Holy Fast from the grosser Earthly Fruits, we shall assuredly have of this all pleasant transmuted Flesh, for our Life's food. Wherefore let us persevere.
