For to obey, as Eve did lay
Obedient to his will?

I tell you all, ye earthly Gods,
You'd keep his footing still;

3/

He well does know, and so does go,
To work in every heart;

And Cowards he would make of you,
To take your SAVIOUR's part;
For Christ to come, and reign the same,
In power in every land-

For now I tell you Satan's frame,

The Bulk of Mankind The Bulk in him doth stand

an undu Satans

That's of Mankind, you all may find,
And look which way you will,

The reigning power that is in man,
Is bound to Satan's will.

And this he gain'd ye simple men,
By Woman's simple hand,

And by that bed he must be slain,
For there the Type doth stand; .

What he gain'd first, from Woman burst,

And so he'll now appear!

He'll place there Witchcraft at the last,

The Bride they'd murder here:

She should not come, to Christ be't known,

By witchcraft would they cry;

To have the SAVIOUR all their own,

And death and hell to die.

No, we'll keep up our every hope,

That we had got before;

His blood to wash away our stains,

We do not want e'er more,
Thus 't will begin in hell to burn,
The Witches now he'll try;

That he hath power for to bewitch,

And make the Bride to die:-
Because that here he will appear,
As he appear'd before;

And from the Jews, I this shall clear,
For so they'll answer here—
"What Blasphemy must be in she,
' Her SAVIOUR to blaspheme!
«To say in spirit now HE's come,
"With her to plead like men;
"For to appear like Noah here,
"The Hermit in disguise:

79

"With all her Lovers to compare,
Tis time for to chastise-
"If this does go we well do know,
"She'll gain men all her own

They'll judge the Bible to be true,
" The way that she hath shewn,
"And we no more, than Fools appear,
Will satan swell their Pride;
I know the Witches will appear,
That way the witchcraft li'th—
Then from the first I stong shall burst,
And call the mid-night hour

And see your Saviour how HE's plac'd,
Your pride for to devour-

My Grandeur here, when I appear,
To make My Wisdom shine;
Would I your mockery ever bore?
Had I not known My Mind,
That at the last a Prince I'd burst
By Woman's simple hand!
Because that there, I tell you here,
The devil's power doth stand-
Now I the Last the same do burst,
The earth for to command;
I come to do My FATHER's will,
And there His Will shall stand :
The Woman shall your Helpmate be,
For now I've gain'd her hand.
The fruit to pluck now to the root,

And down the root shall fall;

Not all his witchcraft now shall do,

For I shall conquer hell:

This very way, now I do say,

That I did first design:

The Woman shall your Helpmate be →

I'll further tell My Mind :

It is not one to ME'tis known,

For I'AM a David here;

And many Brides are now My own,

Alike with her to swear:

But now the First from Saul did burst,

For there the Bride did come,

And David's Crown that way was found,

And Saul's was overthrown.

So now the Saul, I tell you all,

In Satan he does stand; ·

19

But now within thou dost begin,
Thy pondering heart command·
Must thou appear the Daughter here
Of satan just the same-

I tell thee no, it is not so,

Tho' all from Shadows came.—

The Shadows first from satan burst,
Children under the Fall;

Then there the daughter thou must stand
I now do tell you all:

Because that there hell did appear,
A prince of earth to come;
And by the Fall, I tell you all
I then pronounced man
As dead to be in i ove to ME,
Or knowledge to become;
By satan's arts you all may see
Your Children form'd by him.

Then now see clear, the shadow here,

A Child of his must come;

Joanna uniu the fall

To give their hand to David here,

And slay their father's throne;
That did appear in Saul now there,
And there the shadow see,

How David's life were then preserv'd,
By a Daughter born of he;
That is of Saul, I tell you all,
So David gain'd his Crown;
And so I tell you by the Fall,
You're satan's Children found.
Fallen from ME in misery,
By satan's artful haud :

And from the Shadow all must see,
How David's Crown must stand.-

But here within thou dost begin,

In Jealousy to burst;

And from this Fable thou dost see,

Thou art unequall'd plac'd ;—

Not for to Love thou here dost prove,

For David's heart did go,

And other women better lov'd,
Than her thou well dost know.

So misery and jealousy,

Have work'd thy passions high-
And is My Love no more for thee!
Tho' thou for me wilt die.

81

Thy love's so great, without deceit,
In every thing to prove:-

And shalt thou see that misery,
To find a David's love

So cold to thine! No, I'll resign,
'Twas but a shadow there;

When I at first came to mankind,
The Brides for to ensnare--

To wed with me I now tell thee,
And Brides they did become;
Because that they do trust in ME,
That I shall them redeem.

But now see clear, the mystery there,
I am a David found,

The Ark of GOD in all to clear,
And bring the mysteries round:
That I am come to act like him,
For to uncover all,

The Brides that I have got before,
Do now like her appear:-

What fool say they, must Christ now be
To come and stoop so low,

And in their hearts they Me despise,
Like Saul's daughter they go.-
But I shall say, like him that day,

If † vile I do appear;

Then now much viler I will be,

And come to Noah here

For like his love Mine now shall prove,

Thy Jealousy did burst;

Like Saul's Daughter for to appear,
Thou know'st how it was plac'd;
That she despis'd him so unwise,
And folly she did see,

For him to dance before the Ark,
In honor then to Me.

But viler there he would appear,

He told her at that time

And now the mysteries I shall clear,
And bring it to mankind.

A David here I did appear,

I told them at the first,

His Root and Offspring then I were;
The morning star to burst-

6th Chap. 2nd Book of Samuel through

L

But then see clear My Brides were there,
Tho' then I wed with Some,

My Humbleness they could not bear,
And so despis'd My Name.
So they did die, I tell thee why,
No Children did appear,

Till other Brides were gain'd by Me,
My every crown to share,

So first from them, the Jews did come,
And every one did die ;

Because My ways they did despi sø,
Too low they all did cry;

And now the same they mock My Name
The Brides that here do come-
Tho' at the first My death they plac'd,

To be the life of them :

Then now within thou dost begin,
The mystery for to see;
Children of Saul I tell you all,
Like Saul's Daughter will be;
Tho' I began to thee 'twas known,
To place the Shadow there;

With Saul's Daughter I then did come,
The likeness to compare;

And thou within did'st tremble then→→→→→

And all may tremble too,

That say My Ways they do despise,

Bring all before thy view;

For viler there he did appear,

To tell her he would be;-
And viler here, I will appear,

And that they all shall see;
If low at First, I here did burst,
And in the Manger come;

I tell them lower at the Last,
I shall receive My Crown.
Humility you all shall see,
Do highest honor bring,

And humbly now I'AM come to thee,
Thy heart and soul to win.

And so to all, I now do call,

Brothers and Sisters here;

My mother too, before My View,

My Love do so appear;

Then surely I who dwell'th on High,

Do humbly now become;
