but they will find in the end, I shall fulfil the words of the prophets, according to my Gospel; and then they will find the truth of the prophet's words, that I shall magnify the Law, and make it honourable to all men, and fulfil the Law and the -Gospel together. The LAW meaneth the WILL of GOD revealed to the prophets, which I said in my Gospel I came to fulfil.

Now come to the lii. Chapter-"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings; that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good; that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth." Now let men come to my Gospel, and discern what tidings I brought to man-that I came to seek and to save that which was lost; that I came to bring in the redemption of man, and to cast out the prince of this world; that I died to overcome the world in the end; that in ME they might have peace. Let men trace my Gospel through, and discern what were the tidings I brought to man, and what was my promise of coming again to fulfil them; then they may see, I brought good tidings of salvation to them that believed; that where I was my faithful followers should be also; and I brought them good tidings of their redemption in the end; that I died to triumph over death, hell, and the grave, to conquer all for man that relied on ME and my promises. These were the good tidings I brought at first, and these I shall accomplish at the last-"Then will the watchmen lift up their voices together and sing for joy; for they shall see, eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion," Now I shall explain the meaning of the words; seeing eye to eye, is one light against another, one sight against another, that ye may see both together in one likeness; and perfectly so will the end be, when I come to fulfil my Gospel, and the words I have revealed to

thee. Then, as ye may see eye to eye, when fixed to look at one the other, so will the light appear, that ye may see the whole together. But then discern what followeth: when these two lights come to man" Break forth into joy, sing toge ther, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people; HE hath redeemed Jerusalem; the Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God." But men must discern from this chapter, I must first come to suffer; as it is said by the prophet-"His visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men." Let men discern, from these words and the following chapter, what I had first to go through; then they must know, according to my Gospel, I must come again to fulfil the good tidings I brought to man, and redeem Jerusalem, and my people that trust in ME. But, Jerusalem doth not mean barely the spot where it once stood. These were by types and shadows of Jerusalem's being called a blessing to the people, and holiness to the Lord; but when the arm of the Lord is made bare in the eyes of all nations, and the salvation of the Lord is made known to the ends of the earth, that the nations are sprinkled, which meaneth to be redeemed through my blood that was shed for man; then will the waste places become as a Jerusalem unto

But the place of Jerusalem was not a blessing in their days: the meaning of the word is, the NEW JERUSALEM that comes down to men, which signifieth the paradise they were created in at first; and so will these blessings come to man at the last. But let men discern in what manner the threatenings and promises stand together in these chapters, that I have told thee stand for the end. In this they must see how my visage was marred by man, and more cruelly treated than

the sons of men; but as I suffered the first, I shal come to fulfil the last."

Thus far is the explanation given to me, by the Spirit, of the Scriptures that are pointed out at the end of my last Book; but as the worldly wise mock the explanations that are given to me, I am ordered to require their explanation of the following chapters, that remain to be explained, that believers may see whose wisdom, and whose judgment, is the greatest, for men to rely upon, to prove the truth of the Scriptures, how they will be fulfilled.

Isaiah liv-"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child; for more are the children of the desolate, than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. For thy Maker is thine Husband, the Lord of Hosts is his Name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth shall HE be called. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children."

lv. Chapter "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts: for as the rain cometh down from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it."

Ix. Chapter-"Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but the

Lord shall arise upon thee, and, his glory shall be seen upon thee. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the Branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I the Lord will hasten it in his time."

lxv. Chapter-"For behold, I create new heavens, and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered nor come into mind. But be you glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying."

Ixvi. Chapter-"Thus saith the Lord, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto ME? and where is the place of my rest? For all these things hath mine hand made, and all these things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.-For I know their works, and their thoughts: it shall come that I will gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come and see my glory."

Daniel vii-" I saw in the night vision, and behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him: and there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages should serve him."ix Chapter-" Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteous

uess, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy."

xii. Chapter-" They that be wise, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase: many shall be purified and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand."

Obadiah, 21 verse-" And saviours shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's."

Haggai "I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill his house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts.”—

Micah iv chapter, 4. 5. 6. 7. verses. Malachi, iv-"Unto you that fear my name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of thestall and ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be as ashes under the soles of your feet, in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of Hosts."

Matthew v-" Think not that I come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

St. John xvi-" When HE is come, HE will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on ME; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see ME no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."
