Writs, By the La. ELINOR.

Printed in the year, 1646.   

TO THE ISLES OF Great BRITAIN these; From PATMOS I'll:  
BEcause the time short, as here showed, in the NAME OF GOD, Amen: shall name the Child, Namely the blessed LAMB extolled so, and magnified in the Apocalypse: Even the week of EASTER, (as much to say) when the general RESURRECTION time: And this is the interpretation thereof; of which aforesaid Feast covered under NO few figures, Metaphors and the like; Thus,  
Given with such a special charge, to keep the things written therein; verse 3 (to wit) contains. Jnfalible forerunners and signs, when the End of time at hand for the Church's Preparation to stand on their guard, lest surprised unawares.  
And as here Times and Seasons mystery proclaimed with Times triple voices: grace and peace from him which IS, and which WAS; and which IS to COME: And from the seven spirits before (or in sight of) the THRONE, so shows withal His day of coming a GREATER than his proclaimed BY great BRIITAIN, whose feast solemnised about the Resurrections feast, March 27.: Those first and last Princes, or Kings; Of which last time the Prophet Daniel Thus in his last; And at that time shall Michael stand up the great Prince etc. who seals it with these, Dan. 12. And many that sleep in the dust, shall awak, etc. including those observed Feasts aforeshewed, for an express token of the general Resurrection in their Reign, and at that very time and season.  
Touching which turning again to the Revelation  
And with the Sign of the LAMB, proceeding lation, bearing the same date, vers. 5. And from Jesus CHRIST the faithful Witness, the first begotten of the dead, PRINCE of the KINGS of the Earth: That loved US, and washed US from our sins in his own blood, concluded With these, and hath made us Kings and Priests, etc. To HIM be glory and dominion, for ever and ever, Amen.  
Behold HE cometh, etc. Saying, I am ALPHA and OMEGA: Even so upon the LORDS day showed unto that happy man: The Disciple whom he Lord above the rest entrusted, The likeness of the dreadful day of JUDGEMENT standing in the midst of Watch-lights, saying; fear NOT, I am the first and the last King; I have the Keys of HELL and DEATH: Writ the things which Thou hast seen, etc. And he that hath an Ear let him hear the Spirit of Prophecy, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock, to Sup with him who holds the seven Stars in his Hand, The evening of TIMES Ensign.  
briefly beyond hope, that pray vailed to open the seven Sealed Book of Time's Mystery; after his much weeping, because no man was found worthy to read, or look? thereon: No not the Prophet Daniel, who more than once was bidden go thy way, (Dan. 12.) for the words are referred for the end of time.  
Thou shalt rest, etc.  
Even so, Glory, Honour, and Peace, be ascribed to the Lamb, (Easter our Rest) before whose face (Rev. 6.) Kings of the Earth, Mighty men, Great men, Rich men, and chief Captains, then taking their flight, as who able to stand in such a Storm of confusion, then cometh the great day of the wrath of the Lamb.  Revel. Chap. 7. 
As herè the year of Grace 1644. follows, when. accomplished (Or Sealed) those pernicious Winds till than not let lose.  
And, the Seals being sealed or oppened, thus proceeds.  
And after these things, I saw four Angels standing at the four corners of the Earth, holding the four Winds, that the wind should not blow: Saying hurt not the Earth, nor the Sea, till We have sealed the Servants of God in the Foreheads. And I heard the number of them that were Sealed, and there Was sealed a hundred and forty etc. twelve times twelve, serving both for the months and year, and the equal hours divided between day and and night, when those unrestrained winds.  
And as he heard the number of the one: Thenafter that (or the following year) which no man could number, so he saw of all Nations standing before the Throne, and before the Lamb, saying salvation to our God that sitteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb, the year of our salvation (to wit in the month of March) renown through the world beginning about Easter. And as by sitting on the throne expresses the Rest or Sabbath day when it began also, observed by Christians so loug, likewise every one by those Palms in their hands Ensigns of Victory and Peace, even proclaiming the joyful year 1645. this victorious time of such thanksgivings, wherein Babylon is blown up, and thus the last year, and the New Model signified hand in hand who have washed their Robes in the blood of the Lamb, and made them so fair.  
Wherefore there needs no further question to be made of that Albion Army, who they are that serve him day and night, since not unknown the condition of soldiers, companions of restless time, of whose service hard to indge between the state of prisoners, where desired, death flees away, and such liberty as they enjoy, which to be preferred or desired, (as the Prophets Esay 49) shows or binds them together here. That thou mayest say to the prisoners go forth, and them that sit in darkness, show yourselves. They shall hunger nomore, neither shall the heat of the Sun smite them: The Lamb is their leader, as much as to say Easter shall bid them welcome to the Lords table, and thus from their eyes tears wiped away by the Lamb in the midst of the throne, when peace and the day of judgement together going.  

Revel. Chap 14.  
AND following the Lamb whether he goeth, and his Albion Troops in their Virgin springaray, his father's name having in their foreheads, such a year of God, of the interpretation whereof as follows. And lo a Lamb stood on mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four etc. where again the foresaid year of our redemption, witness these words.  
These are redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and the Lamb, And these whereas singing a new song before the Throne, which song no man could learn but such a certain number a hundred forty four which were redeemed from the earth, no other than some watch word given (as it were) showing When such a New time come to pass of Reformation, That then our Redemption draws near; As hereby shown the hour come of his judgement, This for another sign Babylon's fall, first her Numerous Jdols cast down it's fallen, it's fallen; The time expressed in that overflowing Wine press of hers, a thousand six hundred bearing date.  
Wherefore no marvel though Zion tun●s up her Harps, so long out of tune, for such a blessed day where the Cup or Chalice of his indignation, not in a corner or in private administered, but poured out in the Presence of the holy Angels, and in the Presence of the Lamb: Even NO more of their real PRESENCE and the like, to wit, who have no Rest day nor Night, with sulphorous Smokes suffocated, in their own kind rewarded for the blessed Sabbath days, violation, That solemn rest profaned.  
Even so again on the other side write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord henceforth, that they may rest from their labours, and their works follow them. Showing also for them with such Valour and Courage that have followed the Cause, these their everlasting Epitaph.  
And so much for the NEW Time, and for Babylon's judgement, the day of judgements forerunner, Her grapes being cried full ripe, the hour unexpected Come, the Winepress trodden without the City up to the Horse-bridles, the horses too drink their fill of blood without measure, the sixteen hundred years being fulfilled, serving for the measured compass of this Island, 1600 miles also, Those furlongs. And this the contents of the Apocalypse 14. Chap. where Like the fruitless tree after the fourth year cut down, suffered to stand no longer.   

And proceeding on, Revela. Chap. 19  
FOr the great day's Preparation, as here: a greater privilege than those Writs of Parliament to be called hither, to partake of The Lamb's marriage Supper; A blessing to be desired much more Than the beauty of Lillyes, to bear HER Company, granted she should be arrayed in fine Lynnon, clean and white: As clear by such voices and Acclamation: Of which marriage Writs to be published; briefly as follows: Requiring rather a choir of paper, Then circumscribed within the Narrow limits of a sheet or two.  
For such a meeting so long waited for: Represented (as it were) by the guests invited Now to the Lords table the Easter-weeke: when as that Deciple about to fall down and worship, Charged; See thou do it NOT: not the first caveat entered to to flee Jdolatry.  
But going on with the Season and Time, a thing of such Consequence, as here the Virgin's day in Lent, after which, when Marriage licences so frequent, accompanied with the victorious Bridgrom, clothed in his Easter robes: a Vesture dipped in blood, proclaimed King of kings, and Lord of lords, that in righteousness makes war: his Coronation feast then, as crowned with so many Crowns, followed with his Saints, mounted or white Horses every one; a greater show than St. George's his coming at hand, or any other.  
whose Name called the Word of GOD, that unknown Name in another language (as it were) written, Not unlike those words: Rex: Parliament: Peers etc. ver. Where showed lastly the fowls feasted on flesh, the Stork and Crane etc. Not ignorant of their time of coming, in the Spring time; as the Horse (Chap. 14.) swimming in blood up to the neck, which know their owner; called unto the supper of the great God, to assemble and muster themselves to eat the flesh of Kings, the flesh of Captains, the flesh of mighty men, even Licenced by the Lamb, all the fowls to be filled: All but so many tokens, or Ensigns displayed proclaiming when the hour of his Judgement, Come.   

Revela. Chap. 21.  
ANd as called to witness here, a Reformation set forth before the End; a new Model, a new Heaven and a new Earth, new Jerusalem prepared as a Bride to meet her Husband, where no more pain, tears, and the like, but like the Peaceable Spring; when painful Winter past, to such infirmities subject, as that heavenly voice making known; Behold I make all things new, former things are passed away, saying, it is done: I am Alpha and Omega; seals it with that unsearchable Name, the quintessence of Mystery and Mercy.
