DEAR MISS TOWNLEY,

On Sunday Evening after I had sent you the Communication, I sat meditating to myself on the words spoken to me in 1794.

'Tis I that holds thee by the hand,
And will not let thee go

Till stedfastly by faith thou'lt stand,
And all my goodness know.

To these words I was answered,

Then now thy hand I still shall hold
Until thou knowest ME whole,
And when MY LOVE I do unfold
I shall receive thy soul

To realms of GLORY and of BLISS,
In HEAVEN'S HIGH COURTS above,
Where thou in Joy shall ever rest⠀
And taste MY perfect LOVE.

That here below thou cans't not know,
Whilst Satan's Power do reign;

For deeper mysteries I shall shew,

And now the whole explain.

If strong my Love you here did prove,
Your Enemy would come

And say, "that ye were worse than He,
"Though I did him condemn ;-
"But had I shewn such Love to him,
"As doth for man appear,

"He never would my ways condemn'd."-

For now I'll tell thee here,

When men below my Love do know

In all it's power to shine,

A heavenly Joy they then will know,

And then that Joy they'll find
Daily to spring in every thing,

In beauty to appear

For then, I say, one heart and mind

Will in you all be here,

And Joys below in all will flow,

As now it flows above.

In Realms of Glory none can go

To interrupt my Love;

[ocr errors]

But here below, I well do know,

Satan stands between;

And here your Joys can never flow,

Till I do all redeem

From Satan's hand, and free my Land ·

From every Serpent here;

And then like saints you all may stand,

Like angels to appear;

( 41 )

Enthron'd above they see my Love,
And so shall men below.

The Cause for men I'll surely move,
And they shall find it so;

Because for Men I now will stand,
As they do stand for me;

And they shall gain the promis'd Land,
Their advocate I'll be.

The promis'd Land you must command,
What I did say at first,

All that was good I made for man,
And so it now shall burst.

Let men go on as some began
To bring my Kingdom near,
Then I'll go on to work with men,
In POWER for to appear;

And then below mankind will know
My true and perfect Love;

For Satan's bounds he now shall know:
Like Adam he must move;

Because that he is fallen, I see,

As Adam fell at first.

Beyond his bounds he now is found,

And so I say he's cast;

For I'll not spare the Serpent here,
As I did not spare man.

My words and promise I shall clear—
Thy Sealed Book shall stand,

Till unaware I do appear

To chain the Rebel down;

Because his fall, I tell you all,
Like Adam now he's found!
And worse than he must surely be,

For Adam did repent;

But Satan's fury now I see,

His mind is fully bent

In rage to swell, with pride of Hell

His fury doth appear;

And now in man I do know well,
What flames he'll kindle here;

The Man Child sex

In every man, where he can come,

My Kingdom to prevent.

Therefore my judgments must go on,
Till I in sunder rend

The veil from Men to shew them plain
That Satan's friends they be.

For it is Satan work'd in men

To make them foes to thee.

But simple men, their thoughts are in vain, Their God they do not know.

My Kingdom they could ne'er obtain;

My Bible

proves

it so.

This way must come, be it known to man, And see my Bible clear:

Against the Woman Satan stands,

As so doth now appear.

Then know the end must here be come,

And altogether weigh;

For I shall answer simple men,

And boldly to them say

The Jews at first on me did burst,

By Satan's artful hand;

The rage of Hell in them was plac'd,
And so they nail'd my Hands,

I say, and Feet, the wounds went deep,
And then they fix'd the Spear;
And now in Spirit I am come,
Men do the same appear;
In rage I see mankind to be,
In fury for to burn-
Impossible is judg'd by thee:
And can men so become?

What men so blind, can Satan find,
When Truths are all so clear?

To prove from Heaven is every sound
Can Satan blind them here?

I tell thee so he now will do,
And thou wilt see it clear.-

Unto the press these words must go,
For I shall answer here;

What rage doth flow, I well do know,
To see the woman stand

In true obedience now by ME,

For to support thy hand.

Then they'd prevent with one consent,
If they could find a way ;

But Satan's veil from some I'll rend,
Alike they will not see.

For some are mine, their hearts I'll join,
I tell thee, with the rest

That in my Vineyard now are come-
The eleventh hour doth burst,
To hire men here, that will appear,
And in my vineyard go;

For their reward they now shall gain

If they my work will do.

For now to all I loud do call,

My Kingdom is at hand;

And them that will it now obtain

Must in my Labour stand.

For I'll go on to ask of man
In conscience to appear,

If they my Kingdom think to gain,
And never seek it here?

Or shall it come to you, vain men,
That do it now oppose?

No: to my Gospel you must come,—
And know I'll cast out those

1

( 43 )

That do offend against my friends,
That workers are with ME.

Or do you judge that I shall come
Before your hearts I see;

To wish ME here? shall I appear
To men that don't regard

My dying Love, that so did prove
To bring their full reward?

As at that time I knew mankind

Did suffer for my sake:

And now's the time, mankind shall find,

My Love to Man shall break;

Upon such men as they were then.

All mocked at the first;

And now the same it is in man—

Men's mockery so doth burst.

Then now see plain, ye sons of men,
Who must my Kingdom have;
You cannot judge your God so blind,
My Kingdom e'er to give

Unto such men as mock MY NAME,
Nor wish my Kingdom near.

Or could you judge before you're tried
I ever should appear?

No: men, you are blind you all will find,
I'll never come that way;

To prove your hearts is first my mind,
My welcome for to see.-

But here within thou dost begin
To say men's words thou dost know-
They wish for ME, will thousands say,
But never wish it so,

At first to come in Spirit strong
Unto the Woman here,

To plead the Promise in the Fall,

My Father's words to clear.

Then sure in man there is no plan
That I can man redeem;

But let my Coat be known to them
It was without a Seam.

So if they tear and rend it here
My Coat cannot be whole,

To say

I died the Fall to clear,

And make the Serpent fall.
So here let man discern thy hand,
And answer for the Fall;

And then by thee they all must stand
To keep my Garments whole;
Or else they'll rend with one consent
My Kingdom from them all.

If with the Serpent now they stand,
Then with him they shall fall.

THE JEZEBEL IN THE REVELATIONS.

Saturday Morning, June 23d, 1804.

I dreamt, in the night, that my brother's son that is dead, was alive; I thought the Lord said to me, I was to kill the child, as Abraham was to kill Isaac. I thought I could not kill him any other way than by taking him and twisting him round the neck; I thought the child was then dressed up to be roasted; it then seemed the child began to go into convulsion fits, and was in such agonies, as my heart ached to see him. I said I hoped I had not hurt the bone of his neck, that he might come to life again. And then I thought I travelled on, and saw a woman, sitting on a gate post, railing to another woman against me, and told the woman she must come to her for religion. I thought I gave the woman a push, and pushed her off the gate; and the other woman was disputing strong for me. I then thought a number of other women came, that looked like witches, and one looked me strong in the face, and said in derision, are you the Saviour, then I will go on my knees in the mud pit? which she did. I said no, I was not the Saviour, but Christ was come in the Spirit to me to bring in the Redemption of Man. I thought one woman mocked me, and said, I see yours is a money business, and I will give you half a guinea. I told her I despised her money, and she should put it in her pocket. She said, so she would; for she had not half guineas so plenty; and another woman took out a parcel of half guineas that were brass and shewed me, and said she had not half guineas so plenty neither. I said no, and what you have are not good.

THE ANSWER OF THE SPIRIT.

"Now, Joanna, remember this dream I brought thee before Foley's letter came; for she is the Jezebel
