The Word of the Lord, To his beloved City New-Ierusalem, come from God, clothed with the excellency of the Glory of his Love; and is the Bride the Lamb's Wife, with the Flow of the tender compassionate bowels of the Lord jesus, to all the Mourners in Zion, and the afflicted desolate People, who wait for his coming as for the Morning, and hath not satisfaction in any thing but in the enjoyment of his sweet and comfortable presence.  
OH jerusalem, thou beloved amongst the People, who art become the beautiful Bride the Lamb's Wife; Oh how did he seek thee in the day of thy Divorcement, when thou wast weeping in the barren wilderness, as a desolate widow, who had not any to comfort thee, when thy greatest mournings and break of heart were thy greatest comfort? And the more thou drunk the tears that was shed for the want of him, was thy greatest satisfaction: Oh the weary days thou hadst upon the Earth, because thy languishing soul knew not where to meet with thy beloved, neither didst thou know how to walk in the steps of the Flock of thy companions, who was comforted with his presence, whom thy soul wanted: Then was he near unto thee (though thou knew it not) enlivening the desires that was towards his Name. And in the acceptable day he sent forth whom he had ordained, to declare unto thee the glory of his love, in the light of his own life, in which he hath covered thee this day as with a wedding garment, and in it thou appears comely in his sight, and acceptable in his presence. And for thy sake, O jerusalem, thou City of the Living God, what hath been endured? how many innocent Lambs have suffered? it's hard to be expressed, to bring glad tidings unto thee of him whom thy soul thirsteth after? How have the striplings sent out in God's Authority, run too and fro in the earth, willing to spend, and be spent, in all services of love, to persuade thee to forsake all that hath entangled thy mind, and hindered thee from the innocent life of thy beloved. Thy mighty men, with many of the Sons and Daughters of glory, hath sealed their living testimony with their blood, in the patience and sufferings of, the L●mb of God, that thou mayst be affected with the excellency of the glory of him whom thy soul desireth.  
And now the Lord God requireth of every particular Son and Daughter of Zion, To Watch and Pray, that not any enter into temptation; and all that have any stain upon their garment, come to the Fountain which is opened for judah and jerusalem to wash in, which is the heart breaking love of God manifest in the light of the Covenant, and sealed up to the soul in the blood of Jesus.  
Oh come away, come away, out of all your thoughts, desires, doubts, and unbelief, which would turn you aside from the enjoyment of the dear love of God in Christ Jesus: Let not any stand afar off, because of your littleness, lameness, blindness, weakness, and infirmities, who cannot live at peace, until you be healed with the blood of the Lamb.  
Arise, arise, you necessitated people, in the light of the Lord, give up to the drawing spirit of Life in the light of jesus Christ, he will carry thee (that cannot go) in the Arms of his Compassions; he will cause the Lame to walk, and thou that art sensible of thy blindness, to recover thy sight; yea, he will heal thee of all thy infirmities, who in the Light waits as a little Child to be ordered and guided in the washing and sanctifying Spirit of the Lord jesus, who is become a Husband to the desolate Widow, and a repairer of the breaches, and a restorer of the desolate places, in whom the fatherless hath found mercy this day, for his name's sake.  
Oh! what shall I say of the unspeakable love of God in Christ jesus the Husband of the Bride, the Lamb's Wife? Oh ye Sons of the glorious day, read, and feel in the deep tastes of the unsearchable love. And you Handmaids of Glory, drink of the inexpressable Ocean, which flows in the Light over all opposition. This is the Son of the Father's love, who hath been a man of sorrows, and acquainted with griefs, He was wounded for our transgressions, and by his stripes are we healed, and this is the work of the Lord: Let all Crowns be thrown down before him, for he alone shall have all the glory, besides him there is no other. Therefore in the measure of him, let every Son, Daughter, and servant of God watch, and diligently hearken to his Council, and what ever the natural man most inclines to, when the temptation besets you, judge yourselves, look up to the Lord, and resist the Devil with boldness in the first assault, and the Lord God will give you Dominion over him, and the bond of iniquity shall not have power over you, and in his holy authority, every one stand in Dominion upon the head of the first man, with all his excellency and glory, that in perfect freedom every particular Reign, in the measure of the Light, over every thought and desire that is contrary to the will of God, that in his eternal will, you Sons and Daughters of the most high, you all dwell in the holy faith, which will evidence to you beyond your sight, and will arm you against all the fiery darts of the Devil: And you shall tread down Satan under your feet, and in the triumphing Dominion, through the blood of the Lamb, and word of your testimony, you shall overcome, and continually drink of the Rivers of pleasures which is the presence of the Lord jesus, our Light Life, and righteousness for ever; for he is become our Husband, and we are as the wife of his bosom, in the delight of his glorious love; Let the Mourners in Zion rejoice, and the afflicted among the people be glad, and fear the Lord. And let not any say, The Lord regards me not, who desires salvation in uprightness of heart; for what ever thou hungers and thirsts for in his life, thou art the Heir of it, and the Lord will satisfy thy hunger with his refresh for his name's sake: And this is the portion, of them that are least in their own Eyes amongst the people, The Lord hath spoken it.  
And all you Inhabitants of the City of the great God, whom the Lord hath prospered in your living testimony, in what he hath called unto, blessed be the Lord God for you who retains the sencibility of your nothingness in self, and so becomes poor with the poorest, and weak with the weakest, and truly maketh self of no reputation, but humbles it to the Cross, and do●h not serve self, but the Lord and his people, with all his gifts and ornaments, with which he hath adorned you, because of the savour of this Ointment which you have in Christ, causes the souls of all the upright in heart to praise the Lord for you; Oh your steadfast valiant unwearied travels, labour and sufferings for the Lord, causes the hearts of his people to be enlarged with Hallelujahs, and high praises in the holy assembles of his Saints, you know your reward is with you; and woe to them that devise mischief against you whom the Lord hath blessed.  
Oh Sion● Children, from the least to the greatest, love the Lord jesus Christ, and let not a thought of the heart have any power that would draw from the Light, Life, and Love of the Lord jesus; Let the day of the Resurrection arise upon you, which will set your souls in perfect love, above all unbelief and infidelity. Oh drink, drink, drink, to the full satisfaction of your souls of the cup of his salvation, for it is freely handed to all that love him, and thirsts for his mercies, and trample and tread down the self working spirit, that all be bound down in silence, and kept in the death that would move in any exercise to utter words rashly before the Lord; but in the resurrection, light, power, life, and innocent birth enter the Kingdom, and Reign in the Dominion thereof. Oh, here my dear friends, let us comfort and consolate our souls together, for this is our beloved, and we have waited for him, and now is he come with power, and great glory, to deliver his Captives, and establish them in his glorious freedom, where the evil one shall not prevail against them, and to marry the soul unto himself, who hath waited for him as for the Morning; And all in the Marriage union feel his power abounding to lead in the daily Cross, to stand over all that would draw from the sweet union, that is in the footsteps of the flock of his Companions, who walks in the Light; and stir up the gift of God in you, in all faithful obedience, to meet together in true watchfulness to wait in the Light: And as your hearts are filled with the heavenly power of the Lord, and broken in the sense of the over comings of his life, and moved in the forceable strength thereof, in any exercise, in your Families, or in the Assemblies of his people; quench not the Spirit, of the Lord, but be obedient, and keep within the bounds of a broken heart and a contrite Spirit, which is a Sacrifice acceptable in his presence: And all feel the love of God enlarging your hearts one to another, that the strong may bear the burden of the weak, and in the pure life of love, you may grow fruitful Plants in the Vineyard which Gods right hand hath Planted, etc.  
And as for our little Sister, (which is scattered amongst the people in the Nations) that hath no breast of Consolation, her broken Cisterns hath failed her: What shall we do, in this day she shall be spoken for, which is come upon us, though at present she cannot draw near, but mourns at a distance, and cries in secret for want of the enjoyment of the God of our salvation? Oh let your Bowels open to her, and let your hearts breathe unto the Lord, that he may seal his Counsel unto her, and cause her to walk in the Light of the Lord with us, whom he hath raised to be the first fruits amongst many brethren, to bear his glorious testimony over and above the heads of all the wrath of the Children of men, that withstands the Appearance of God, who will cause them to bow before his Glory; in the day he will clear the innocency of his beloved people; which shall smite the hearts of them that know him not, neither by Sword, nor Spear, nor strength of the Arm of Flesh, but with the breath of his mouth, and the brightness of his coming, which shall spread his fame over the Nations, to gather our Brethren from far, and Sisters from the ends of the Earth; yea, the mighty shall bow to his Sceptre, and the Nations that are saved shall walk in his Light, with us, whom he hath made as dear unto himself as the Apple of his Eye; and though a woman may forget her sucking Child, yet the Lord will not forget any that fear him; but he will lead through all tribulations with joy in his heavenly power, until we have finished our course with gladness, to the glory of the name of the Lord for ever. And this is the Portion, and the Lot of thy Inheritance, thou beautiful Bride, the Lamb's Wife, against whom, every tongue that is lifted up shall fall into judgement, and the weapons form against thee, shall not prosper; for the Lord hath made thee a burdensome Stone to the Nations, and the praise of the whole Earth; and the desires of the people shall be to the name of the most high God, who dwells in the midst of thee, and hath displayed his Banner of Love over thee, and hath turned his fury away from thee, and never any more shall thou want the fresh springs of Life who loves the Light, and baths thy soul in the Ocean of his inexpressable mercies: The Lord will keep thee in the safety of his power, and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against any of the Sons and Daughters who walk in the Light of thy City, O jerusalem, in whom there is no more curse, but the Throne of God, and of the Lamb is in thee, and his servants doth serve him, and they do see his Face, and his Name is written in their Foreheads, and there is no Night there, neither need of Candle, nor light of the Sun, for the Lord God giveth them Light, and they do Reign for ever, as the Lord hath spoken.
