I am undone, yet gloriously and joyfully undone. I have seen the Lord. THE King; Who appeared unto me On [Innocents' Day] the 28 of the last month. He spoke to me and with me, (as a friend speaketh to his friend) of things unspeakable and unutterable.

And what I am now about (with fear & trembling, as also with high rejoicing) I can present to you, no more, no otherwise, then as part of the black, dark shadow of a man, against a sunshine wall, etc. At this strange, glorious, and unexpected sight, The Spirit of Burning (by which the filth of the daughter of Zion is purged) did so surround me, and took such real possession of me, That it not only waxed hot within me; But also (on a sudden) set my body on such a flame; that (at a distance) it would warm the slander by, as if they were warming their hands at a burning fire, etc. Then was I raised to sit up in my bed (in my shirt) smoking like a furnace. And with glorious holy fear and trembling, I bowed the Knees of my soul; as also my body With all awful reverence before the dreadful, (yet to his friends) the glorious presence of the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, With my hands wring, the Spirit groaning, And at length saying, I beseech thee, I beseech thee, I beseech thee Tell me what is this? Then HE spoke; Whose voice once shook the earth; But now not only the earth, but the heavens also. Saying, Fear not, it is I BLVI. Whereupon the Spirit within me (with exceeding joy) exceedingly groaned; & with a loud voice, out-sounded O the BLV! O the BLV! O the BLV! And the worm, and no man said, what BLV; Lord He, as a loving Father, gave me (as it were) a box ' i'th' ear, saying, Dost not remember, when thou was't a Schoolboy, thou heard'st this saying, TRUE BIV will never slain, will never fail, White is the signal of Innocency.

The White— as Innocency, the BLV— as truth. TRUE BLVI, True BLVI IAM. And though I am in heaven, earth, & hell, &c Yet earth, hell & heaven, yea the heaven of heavens is not able to contain me, etc. Now have I in an unspeakable eminent way bowed the heavens, & am come down upon the earth. And will show myself, As in my Colours,— etc. Whereupon he drew a sharp two edged flaming sword, etc. (Another manner of Sword then that he wore on Mount Sina) Saying, Bear thou the typical testimony thereof. And in a dark, low, beggarly shadow, wear BLV, With this Superscription, TRUE BLVI will never fail, TRUTH is great, and will prevail. And (not conferring with flesh and blood) I was obedient to the heavenly commandment. Whereupon with an exceeding holy fear and trembling, fiilled brim-ful [also] of joy and rejoicing, I bowed down hoth soul and body, before the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And the Spirit within me sounded forth, O eternal spirit of TRUTH, which will never fail. What am I, a worm, and no man? —— A Nazarite (By the Lord of Hosts, which dwelleth in Mount Zion) made blacker than a coal— — Not known in the streets— Known at home Only. Fear thou not, I am thine, & I am with thee and a wall of fire round about thee. I will also tell thee what I am doing in These whipping Times, And in this my Day Which burns as an OVEN. Hark! Chap.

My Fan is in my hand, and I will throughly purge my Floor, etc. But, The chaff I will burn up, with unquenchable Fire. O chaff, chaff, hear the Word of the Lord. To the unquenchable fire thou must, it is thy doom. It's a whipping Time. The day burns as an Oven. Wherein (TWO) all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble. And the day that cometh, and [NOW is] shall BURN them up. It shall leave them neither root nor branch, Mal. 4. 1. Learn what that meaneth, Whom it hitteth, it hitteth. It's a whipping time. And he that is TRUTH, and no Lie, hath bowed the heavens, and is come down. (III TO whip the Thiefs out of his own * Ye are the Temple of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, etc. 1 Cor. 6. 2 Cor. 6. 10. Temple. And amongst all the rabble that are there, he will whip out that old thief, that foul & unclean spirit that saith, Stand back, I am holier than thou, etc. That Thief also shall not scape his Lash, who saith, Lo here, or lo there, &c, These are whipping time; and The day Burns as an Oven. And thus saith my God, Who (to my exceeding, exceeding joy) is a consuming Fire, I have bowed the heavens, and am come down. (IV) To try every man's work so as by Fire; and this consuming fire shall enter into the marrow and the bones, and search the heart and the reins: And shall go on and do its work, as it hath begun: And turn the Inside outwards. To the eternal fame of some; and to the everlasting shame of others. Let the later expect what is upon them coming with a vengeance. The day burns like an Oven. For (V) He hath bowed the Heavens— and is coming down in flaming Fire, To render vengeance to those that know him not; especially to those who talk much of him, yet call him, Beelzehub, etc. etc. etc. These are whipping times. For [VI) he hath bowed the heavens, and is come down to whip These froward foolish children who call their Father Rogue, if he appear in any other garb then what they have usually seen him in, etc. And he will never give over whipping them, till they give over saying to him, What dost thou? Till they give over Enjoining him his way, etc. And their daring to be so arrogantly foolish, as To JUDGE the things THEY know not— He that hath an ear to hear let him hear. And ALL shall feel It is a whipping time. For (VII) He hath bowed the Heavens, and is come down to whip and burn, whip and burn.— None shall escape his lash, No not his dearly beloved Daughter of Zion. Among many other things he will sound scourge her for her haughtiness, and outstretched-neckedness. For holding her neck so high. For her cursed Scorn, Hellish Pride and niceness. For not remembering her Sister Sodom in the day of her pride, etc. And the roaring ramping-Lyon, with the sharp twoedged Sword, will run her through and through. And with unquenchable fire Will burn up the bravery of their tinkling Ornaments. The bracelets, etc. The changeable Suits of apparel, etc. The Glasses, and fine Linen. The Hoods and the Vails, etc. And instead of sweet smelling there shall be a stink; and BURNING instead of Beauty. And because she turneth away her eyes from her own Flesh, yea, and denies her own Spirit and Life; Yea, her Father that begot her; and Her eldest Brother, the Heir of all, For this her haughtiness, and stretched-neckedness, she shall not only be whipped, but also the crown of the head of the Daughter of Zion shall be smitten with a Scab. And The Lord will discover her SECRET parts. And this shall be done to the green Tree. And if this be done to the green Tree, [VII] What shall be done to the Dry Tree? At present I will not tell them. They shall feel with a witness, etc. And I'll only here insert a Prophecy, which sparkled forth from the Spirit of Prophecy, before these whipping times were thought on or expected. The Prophecy. Sith that their ways they do not mend, I'll find a Whip to scourge them by; And with my Rod I'll make them bend, and so divide them suddenly. This is but the beginning of sorrows And this that is now (in this dead Letter hinted) is but the bare contents of some of those many things which the consuming fire is about to do these whipping times; and in this day which BURNS as an Oven; and where in triumphs and joy I now live. You shall have it more at large one way or other, one time or other. The End Is not yet. London, Printed for the Author, Jan. 20. An. BLVI BLVII. Written Jan. 1. & 3.
