that sat upon the post, and told the people to come to her as a Prophetess, full of lying wonders: for the GIFT OF HEALING is not yet come. But let not Foley be grieved because he seduced my people to believe that woman a prophetess, for she is not; but I permitted them to find out the cheat, that they may see the depth of Satan's arts. But as they spoke. against her, I will put no other burden upon them, but that which they have already; hold fast till I come, and keep my words unto the end, then will I give them POWER over nations. The last chapter of Isaiah let them weigh deep; for now is coming the ash end; Zion that travaileth to be delivered, shall be delivered, for I have brought to the womb, and I. will not shut it. Let not thy heart grieve nor tremble, fearing they have done wrong; for I permitted this thing to be, to shew them the difference between Satan's working and MINE. I kept silence concerning the woman, that they might go on, to find out the cheat, and see where the Jezebel lay, that they have so often condemned in thee. Now let them see. the different working, ME with thee, and Satan with her. To ease thy fear, consider, call MY WORDS to thy remembrance, when thou wert so much afraid they would do wrong through ignorance; know, I told thee, in the time of ignorance God winked at it; and what errors they did through ignorance should be righted, for I would not lay them to their charge; neither do I lay this to their charge, though they placed her as a prophetess with thee: and there is the Stone that is fallen out of thy King; for they will no longer let her stand as a prophetess with thee; for she is the Jezebel mentioned in the 2d chapter of the Revelations, 20th verse. She called herself a prophetess to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols; and now I give her space to repent of her fornication; and if she repents not, I will cast her into a bed with them that commit

this adultery with her, and kill her with death; and the cures she hath done shall return upon them with double force. For here Satan came as an angel of licht. pretending he could not cure the disorders of them that were wicked. Here they commit fornication with MY WORDS, and in MY NAME was this professed to be; therefore it was I that worked in the hearts of My servants to go unto her, to see what excuses she would plead, that she could not cure them, whom MY SOUL LOVETH; for I have already told thee, and I now tell thee again, Hirst and his family are chosen servants of mine. Now let Hirst remember what I said concerning him, how Satan delighted to punish him; but in the end he should delight to triumph over him; and now let his delight begin, faithfully to declare the cheat of the woman, whom Satan has raised up in opposition against ME, and let him remember the truth of thee; when I told thee the death of Foley's child, thou didst faithfully read it to him, and told him to copy out, before thou receivedest Foley's answer, to know whether the child would die or live: let him remember all thy upright dealings, how thou never used one art to deceive any man; but if jealousies alarmed thee, thou spakest freely; if Satan attacked thee, thou didst shew in thy looks and told it; so that he must know in thee there is no deceit. Now let

him write the particulars of the woman unto thee, and I will answer thee again; for there is the Stone they have placed in thy King, that now shall fall out from thy name, and the naked truth shall now appear; the Cures she did by Satan's arts were those which Satan's power afflicted, and there he gave her power to cure. "And now I shall tell you the sense of the Ring, that you may understand what you read. Mr. Abbott, one of the jury-men, gave me a very pretty Gold Ring, set with small blue Stones all round it, but when the Midnight Hour broke in upon me, of the Spirit of the Lord, what he would

( 47 )

do upon the earth, throwing my hands, which I could not restrain, I beat out one of the Stones, which I was very sorry to see in the morning, fearing it was a type of his death, or some of the others. This I have often pondered in my heart, as it was never explained to me till now; and now it is deeply said to me, if my Prophecies had been from the Devil as her lying wonders of healing were, I should soon be discovered by the Letters I put in the hands of the Ministers: as the Woman was discovered by Mr. Hirst's going to her with his daughter, and so would the religious ministers have found it a delusion that came against ne; for if it had not been of God it would not have come to pass, for the arts of the Devil can never last long.And now it shall be fatal for that woman if she adul

terates my Name with the lying wonders done by the Devil:

And there they shall see the Jezebel appear.
So now the name's dropt out from ME,
The Jezebel, they all shall see.

Doth in that woman strong appear,
And she is an adulterer,

To say she does it in my Name,
I'll put her confidence to shame;
For there the witches all did come,
Thinking my honour to blaspheme;
That miracles they wrought by ME,
But then my servant she did see,
By Satan's arts she well did know,
She could not heal who was his foe;
Because to ME he is a friend,
And so I'll prove him in the end:
And down the Jezebel shall fall,

Thou strikest the blow I tell them all.
Before the Letter ere did come,
I shew'd the woman in thy dream,
That did the people so ensnare,
To tell them all to come to her;
But so the other woman stood,
To see her arts they were not good;
For all the wonders she did tell,
I tell you plain, come all from hell;
And in the mud pit they may fall,
For that's the way she cur'd them all;
With muddy hearts, all-black within,
That had from Satan felt the sting

Of the disorders she did cure:
But now I tell them to take care,
Or in the mud pit they will fall,
That now are cur'd by arts from hell.
Their conscience he doth cure the same,
They may not hear their Saviour's name.
And so this mockery all do come,
For Satan's cures to me are known,
The way that he their wounds doth heal,
That they another day will feel,
More fatal than it was before.-
And let thy shoulder to appear,
How quickly Brown dry'd up the first,
And after that thy pain did burst
In agonies, thou could'st not bear,
Until that Deem to thee appear'd,
And then thou told'st her of thy pain,
And fear'd thy shoulder was rotting then,
And that thy arm thou would'st have lost,
For where's the salve that Brown did boast,
That she did heal thy wound so soon?
Unto the nation this must come,
'Then in their blood they are healing all,
The Woman's Wonders now do fall,
I tell you plain, throughout your land,
They're healing by an artful hand;
To heal their consciences all the same,
But some like thee they'll find the flame.
So let the Parable appear,

And then again I'll answer here.

The Parable was many years ago. I had something gathering in my shoulder, and I could not bear my stays to rub against it. Mrs. Brown said she had an excellent healing salve that I should put to it and it would cure me, which she put for me, and soon healed up the wound; but soon after I was in such pain in my shoulder, that I thought my arm was rotting off. I told it to Mrs. Deem, and also, how my shoulder was at first, what salve I had put of Mrs. Brown's, that was such beautiful healing salve. Mrs. Deem cried, yes; but it was not fit for your shoulder, for you have a gathering within, and that corruption must be drawn out, and the wound opened afresh before your shoulder can be healed, or else you would lose your arm as you said. Now if will put you put the salve that I will give you, to gather the wound and draw out the corruption,

(49)

then Mrs. Brown's healing salye may be of use to heal it; but your wound must be opened afresh, if you will keep your arm or perhaps your life. I took Mrs. Deem's advice, and confess the salve she gave racked me with pain before the place was gathered and broke; but I knew I must suffer that or suffer my arm to be cut off, and shoulder too; but after the wound broke, it was astonishing to see the corruption that was there, which was first drawn out by Mrs. Deem's salve, and then Mrs. Brown's healing salve was of use, as Mrs. Deem had told me.

THE ANSWER OF THE SPIRIT.

"And now, Joanna, I'll bring the Parable to the whole nation, to the Jezebel, to her lovers, and to thee. The Jezebel is the woman that is now healing the wounds of mankind by the arts of the Devil, under a profession of religion in MY NAME. Her Lovers and her Adulterers are the Clergy throughout the land. who love to heal the nation in their sins and their blood, without searching their wounds to the bottom; they adulterate my Bible as an adulterous man would commit fornication with an adulterous woman; and they heal the wound that is in man, without drawing out the corruption that is from the Devil: but I tell thee, his corruption must be first drawn off, and his stinking wound must be first destroyed; then the Jezebel's words may be right to tell them to go home and repent of their sins; for if Satan comes in arts to appear like me, he cometh to use some of my words and ways. And now I shall come to her Adulterers and they that commit fornication with her it is the Clergy; for they are healing the nation as the woman is healing the sick, binding them up, as Brown would thy wound, which had they power to accomplish through the land, they would soon find the nation in a much worse situation than thy
