A TRUE RELATION of the Powerful HAND OF GOD UPON JOHN INGRAM.  
At the reading of the Book called The Leaves of the Tree of life for the healing of the Nations: lately written, by the light of God shining upon WILLIAM SEDGWICK.  
The wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness: because that which may be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them: for the invisible things of him from the Creation are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; even his Eternal Power and Godhead.  
Fear God, and give Glory to him; for the hour of his judgement is come.

Upon the reading of the Book called THE LEAVES OF THE TREE OF LIFE, For the healing of THE NATIONS. Lately written by the light of GOD shining upon WILLIAM SEDGWICK. I was smotte dead by the power of GOD: and by the same power raised up again; his light shining on me wherein I saw the truth of the Book; and that is was THE WORD OF GOD: I was also at the same time constrained to write these following lines.  

O Earth, Earth, Earth, Hear the voice of thy Lord; who was contented to die for thee, that thou mightest live; and to be slain by thee, that he might overcome thee with love: Thou hast left him, and followed after strangers; thou hast murdered him, and filled the Earth with cruelty: He cannt show thee his face of love until he hath slain thee; until he hath been within thee, in that Garden where thou goest to betray him, and eaten up thy flesh there; thy great Adversary, that continually torments thee, and will not let thee have any rest, nor know where thy rest is; that makes thee such a stranger unto thy Brother that thou canst not see how euceedingly heloves thee; he was contented to have served thee; but thou hast rejected being Lord over him: thou hast sold him into the hands of strangers, who carried him into a fare Country; and yet thine eye did not pity him: thou wast in distress for want of those husks which the stranger tempted thee to follow him into Egypt for: (telling thee thou shouldest have thy fill thereof, deluding thee.) And until than it came not into thy thoughts that thou hadst a Father, that would have fed thee with the finest wheat; that put thee into a most pleasant Garden, abounding with all varieties of excellencies: If thirsty, a spring to refresh thee, that thou canst not draw dry; a river for thee to swim in: If thou wouldst please thy palate, there thou hast the choicest fruits; if thy senses, there thou hast the sweetest frankincense: If thou wouldst please thine eyes, there thou mayest have a view of the most gloriousest Objects: wouldst thou have Gold, there thou mayest have the finest, the Gold of Opher: What art thou capable of desiring? What canst thou mention, but it may be found there. wouldst thou have rule and power? All things there are subject to thee. wouldst thou be a servant? There thou mayst be employed by the King of Kings who exceedingly rejoiceth in thy being made willing to do his will; that would not that thou shouldest have gone ut of that Paradise; that is exceedingly satisfied with thy being there, to behold the riches of his treasure, the glory of his Kingdom; etc. He hath no Queen to show it to, but thyself: he hath none to inherit it, but thyself; and yet thou didst run from him, and wouldst not believe him: He called unto thee to to stay, but thou wouldst not: He sent thy Brother to entreat thee to return, but thu consentedst to his death, and didst cast him into a Pit; then came strangers by and they presented him with all manner of Spices, and took him away, and made him the chief Steward of all they had: And when he was taken out of the Pit; then didst thou fall into it thyself: thou goest to buy food, and it was thine own Brother Joseph that sold it to thee, but thou knewest him not; he was pained until he made himself known unto thee, and in making known himself, he weeps over thee, crying alas! alas! my Brother.  
AWAKE therefore, stand up and thou shalt see none but thy brother Joseph himself; whose Silver Cup (wherein he drinks, who will Judge thee) is hid in the mouth of thy sack WITIN THEE; there the BABE JESUS hath lain ever since thou wast, and yet thou knewest it not.  
Oh if thou feelest HIM stir there, be not afraid, it's thy dearly beloved, RUN and meet him: if he puts thy flesh to pain in coming forth out of thee, be contented to endure it: and remember that if thou dost in sorrow Conceive, yet thou shalt have Joy when the MAN CHILD is born; yea, he will fill thee so with Joy, that thou shalt be even broken with it: though sorrow may endure for a Night, yet Joy will come in the Morning.  
The bright Morning Star APPEARS, and LOOKS THEE IN THE FACE, The dawning of the day is past, and the SUN is ready to shine in the strength of its Glory: Awake therefore, and let no voice be heard in the street of the NEW JERUSALEM (within thee) but the voice of Melody, etc. and the next word that thou hearest him speak to thee will be this, That he will take thee into his Banqueting-house: he will carry thee up into his Heavenly Kingdom, and give thee to drink of his own new Wine eternally with himself, and thou shalt thirst no more: He will wipe away all tears from thine eyes, and cause sorrow and sighing to fly away from thee: Yea, he will change thee into his own likeness; and thou shalt be even as he is, Singing GLORY, GLORY, GLORY, BE TO GOD ON HIGH, for ever more.
