And the Lord did fhew himfclf in a moll familiar way, as it he had been in a Crcaturcly Body talking with me*, and prefented to me a Similirude, which might give me to fee, what the Ob- ftruaions www.JaneLead.orq diane@ianelead.orq ( S7 ) . HrucKons were, that canted the Creation td groan under the Curie, and all the Evil coafcqucnccs of it. And what with-held the Lord my Mighty Prince .and Saviour, from, uis coming to Reign as abfolutc Monarch over, and in the hidden parts of the Earth each one, that have proftrated themfclvcs before the Tiirone, ia order to his Kingdom coming into them. Who have been primary ieckcri, for it, that through them hrfl the lower may go forth, till ir encrcafc to God’s numerous Arong 1 loir. The thing that came before me, was vaA numbers of flying Fowls of feverai kind:, and they hunted one ano¬ ther, p the ffj*k the PJrtriJg^ and the mighty the Idler Birds. And lo the Stronger and greater fought to devour, and rake tor their Prey the weaker and the lcflcr.jThis was in one World or Orb. Diftin& from this I faw another, # where only appeared a Field rcplcnilhcd with grown ripe Corn of every forr of Grain, and a very fumptuous Building >n the midft thereof but the fafhlon was like to a D&'s Court, or Houfc, where only ?. f. es with Milk white Bodies, and Golden Wmgs fbw forth, and freely took of the Corn, and brought ia to the Houfc, and there ted, ^nd bred, and nooriihed their Young. And amoogft elide was all Hirmony and 'Community, and Siaghig Duties of Jov to deli other, not Mounting any more. Then F a waS www.JaneLead.orq diane@ianelead.orq ( 68 ) was it faid to me, Doft thou underftarid what thcic nvo’conrrary Scenes mean? lBccho- cd in Spirit, The Interpretation. O my Lord, b- riven from thee, according to thy owu meaning. . Then the former, whnan .he wild Place, in which the devouring Birds did purfuc each ocher, was prefented the fccond rime. And there were many fluttering Doves, that the other lort took the Meat out of their Mouthes, and flew away, and they were fo crcatly diftreffed, as there was heard a grie¬ vous Mourning. Then dclccnded a mighty B,jPle, and Clocked as a Hen to come under her Wing: but fomc werclo pinmondthat they could not fly, others hngredafter, to ect thrir Meat again from their fellow Birds, and fomc were held on Bulhes and would not ftir, but make their Neft there, as if they were Limc-fiiarcd. But then again, fomc few (and very hardly they) in the heat of purfuic did get away, and were bom un¬ der the Eagles Wing, and brought into this Corn-field of Heaven’s Stores, where they need fear no more Birds of Prey. The opening Spring of Undcrftandmg was riven to flow, and to give the fi^'fianon of this Parabolical Vilion. The firft Scene did plainly (hew the Univcde of things aflrij upon the Stage of this Creation, where the Lord Jelus hath his Flock that arc hunted and purfued indeed by the great www.JaneLead.orq diane@ianelead.orq r great potent Ones, who arc Strong and Rich in their fubdc Realoa to covet, and toacadt and poll from each other: though living and moving from one Orignal Being, yet ftrange- •y alienated in Self-annpiating Love •, which the very i'pecklcd Venom of the Serpent, that hathpoil'oncdthe wholcCreation. The true and faithful Witncls did it aver in this expreflion, that this was the Spawn and Root ot all the growing Evil, that the whole Na¬ ture of Alan was infected withal. And that the Holy Being of Lax for this, had grpt Controvcrlic wuh whomfoever this intraing Leaven was found. For the pure Spring of Lave from the God-head Fountain cannot open, till that other be dried up. This hath been the choke and main Obflru£Hoo, that hath delay’d the Kingdom of Chrift, from coming into Souls, in its Majeftical Power- For fo the Life-word affirmed to me, and cautioned me to get free herefrom, and to avoid this infefting Ray from the Stars. For nothing more did fcal up in unbelief then appropriating and grafping into Self Love. Ascoofidcrcu in all points according to what’ we may have a trull in, as relating to Gifts, and Things Supernal or External Self-pro¬ priety is to be outed, that the Kingdom of Love and Faith may come in. For it is Qicwh in the Spirit’s Glafr, that this is the Sin, that hath the greateft Predominancy, not .

Therefore the Mighty Lord, and Pallor ot his Fleck is calling and drawing his own out from among this lclftfh Generation. And were it not permitted that they of this Dove-Spirit ftiould be treated hard, and Evil of them in all kinds of Sufferings we (hould flil! linger to flay among them, though all pluckt, pinion’d, and born down, asjthcVi- lim did make it well out: to fhew the un- •wiUingnefs to go out horn among the £^p- tidns and Babylonians.

And they may cx- pe£k in fuch a Spirit of Power to act, rill they arc carried out in the fitft place trom the wild fluttering Birds of Prey, that fly H* their own Aftral Heavens.

They that .arc without, cannot come in to hurt, as Spirits that can come into us, and we know not how, but catch the very Word of Lite out of the Spirit’s Mouth, and pick up the pre- tious Seed, while it is lowing in the Eternal Ground. For what can be more prejudicial than for thefc fluttering Spirits to run away with the Grain of the Heavenly Crop, upon which is all the hopeful expectation, as the Store that is to be cverlaftingly lived upofl. For what is all fowings in the Spirit, without it be carefully watched over, and preferred from^hc hunting, piercing Vultures Eye, that docs fly up and down the Region ot our own Minds i For the Holy Teaching Unaion hath declared, and fully (hewn it, that in this hath been the danger and ha¬ zard in all thole plentiful Showering*, that have fallen down upon the very Ground, and all that great Labors and Pains which have been in a Spiritual wav, bellowed to nuke www.JaneLead.orq diane@ianelead.orq ( 74 ) nuke ready foe it- But this was what was (farted in me: and the Covering was pluck- ed off by the Lords own Hand, that we might diicem ia Spirit the caul'e, which has hindred the Holy Seed from coming to its Head-perfection, without which nothing of the Kingdom's Hat veil, ready for the Holy Gboji to reap,can rife upon the inward Ground of any Soul. But tlic great Qyeftion is, How this holy pure Thing may be preferred from Fowlesof thisforr, that areas lwift in their flight as a Thought ; Ir was far caficr for Gideon to hide his tl refhcd Corn from the Mididniitu than it is for us to hide the Seed of the Kingdom from thofc /Ethcrial Starry Spirits, that have Power to enter into our Corporeities, as their own Region. But for this a help is provided, and the Lord my Redeemer, wliofc Love is great, and Coun- fcl deep hath revealed ic t as how his own Life-Seed may come to be fecurcd fromthric Fowls of Prey- It was opened in a figurative way, for the more calie underftanding. As 1 was hereup¬ on thoughtful, upon this foregoing opening, the great Concern frill flirring in my Mind was, how to find out that Principal thing, which will fix the Kingdom of die Lamb upon its own Baris. Which no way was demon- frrablc, but from the conception of the Holy CfcJlj which in this exprefs Similitude was www.JaneLead.orq diane@ianelead.orq (7 5 ) made out to me, as followeth, Tbc Figure of an Egg with a white Shell, but fo clear, as you mjcht fee the whole matter of it ^Vhitc and Yellow, as fine and pure as Silver and Gold, that had paffed through the Hand of the Seperator i and wrought over this Cryftallinc enclolure for its Guard. And the Hand in which it was, did put it in, or caufcd it to be pafs into me, where no vifiblc Eye could fee. And withal faid. No other heat could chcrilh it, but a pure flaming Heart That for this very purpofe was Created anew in the fccrct of Eternal Nature, although vifibly foundin thefafhion of a Mortal Creature. From hence would work out the mighty Myftcry of the Godded Nature, as prclcrvcd within the clofc Lock of the Heart; fending always Out a Tempe¬ rate heat, the Holy Dove reding there to hatch up, what is of his own thus convey¬ ed. O Mighty God, who hath comprehend :d the infinitenefs of thy Wifdom, as to the method and way of rcplenilhing a new Crea¬ tion? Where hath been our gazing, and looking out for it, as if the Kingdom ot Chriic woulcT come down from the Starry Element ?

Which hath been the very caufe, that in all thcic latter Ages, and pre- fent big ExpeHations, no Holy Gbofi hath been born in any one, to found the Evcrlajl - tng Gefte!, nor to proclaim through the Gol¬ den Horn the Total Redemption. For ho fconcr hath the Heavenly matter been ga¬ thered together for this, within the tender briddeShcIl, but the Weafcl-fuckcrs that do lie aJI about the inward Ground of the Mind, have fucked this matter, which is pre¬ pared for a Body of Life *• And fo the great thing hath yet been withftood, which only can renew the old Creation.

Whereupon the Lord is come in Spirit this to difeover, and doth give occa- fion unto the Wife Virgins, that fo they may be careful, what Spirits they fuffer to enter in, to fet their Trad or powerful im- prefiion: for all agreeable will be the con¬ ception of the Birth.
