be alone, I would make a helpmate for him. Now you say that helpmate caused the Fall; but by whose arts did she cause it? Thou sayest by the Devil. Then on his head she cast it; and on his head I placed it : But know, in the garden the TREE of LIFE was preserved for MAN.-Now I shall go back to thy pondering thoughts of the CREATION. For as I hardened Pharoah's heart, to shew my visible judgments in this world, so I put ponderings in thy heart to answer the world at large thereby; for thy thoughts are the thoughts of thousands why did I create Man to be miserable? I answer: I created Man to be perfect in happiness; and perfect in happiness are millions, which will be till time is no more; then their happiness and heavenly joys will be visibly seen. Then why should I keep back that happiness from Man? Or why should I not create a race to be happy, because all would not accept that happiness? Now I shall come to the FLOOD. When the whole world was hardened in sin, and their hearts were bent to do evil, would my prolonging their lives have been a blessing to them, that they might add sin to sin, and make their punishment the greater? Thou sayest no: then where was the difference of my putting a stop to their sin in a day, that they might encrease no more in it, or letting them live a little longer in this world, and so cut them off one by one, without any visible sign? Would their punishment have been the less? I tell thee, No; but now as I cut off the race of Man in a day, that had none of MY SPIRIT within them, so will I cut off all the powers of darkness, whose spirit is opposite to MINE and as I saved NoAn in the ARK, wherein MY SPIRIT dwelled, so will I preserve men who long for MY SPIRIT to be within them; and as I told NOAH how to make the ARK, so I have told thee every particular, how to make the ARK of the NEW COVENANT that is between GoD and Man; and how I shall destroy all the works of the Devil.

END OF THE DIVINE VISITATION TO MAN. 203 Know what I said to NOAH after the flood, I do set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between ME and the earth. Now mark my next visitation to Man-Let us godown and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speeches. Then followeth my visitation to ABRAHAM, and the great Promise I made to him, for his Obedience. Then followeth my visitation to JACOB, and to JOSEPH. All were blessed through the obedience of ABRAHAM, till it came to MOSES. Then a king rose that knew not GOD; then came on their afflictions; and then came their deliverance. And now I tell thee, the Type of Pharoah is already began in Satan: my commands have been obeyed as they were by NOAH, when I destroyed the world of sin; and now I will destroy the Man of Sin, which is the Devil, with all his host, and all his power; as I destroyed Pharoah, and all his host, for pursuing after the children of Israel, so will I overthrow Satan for pursuing those whom I forbid. For the perfect obedience of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has been here; and in this perfect and true obedience all the families of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED, that will join with thee; let them be as the HEART of ONE MAN united together in faith; and I will free them, as I freed the children of Israel; for I told thee, that was a Type of the LAST DAYS; and know how Pharoah was destroyed, that pursued after them, and how I destroyed their enemies, that were before them, who had no knowledge of a GOD.

So here the Type stands deep for Man
Thy pondering thoughts I shall go on :
Thou judg'd it cruelty in ME,

When all those nations thou didst see
That by the Jews I did cut off,

And so their kings I brought to nought,

And all their people I did slay;
Thou jedz'd it hard my hand did lay-
But I shall answer as before:

In nought but sin they did appear,

And if their lives I had prolong'd,

I ask what good to them 'twould done?
Because thou knowest that all must die,
And in the grave forgotten lie:
And so in death they did appear;
But they are not forgotten here,
Because it stands upon record,
The wondrous working of the LORD;
When that my people I did free
Behind I drown'd their enemy,
And then before them I did go,
Till I'd destroy'd their every foe.
Now here's the shadow of the last;
The Type stands deep how I shall burst;
Now I am come to make an end,.
This is the way the whole shall bend.
The enemy doth now pursue,

As Pharoah did at first;

Because that ME, he well doth know,
I'm come to have him cast,
My friends to free from misery,
But he'll not let them go;
But doth pursue, I well do know,
Like Pharoah he doth do ;
But I'll go on the same with him
As Moses did at first;

I tell you 'tis my strong intend
That way it now shall burst;
The shadow there that did appear
Shall now be done for Man:
And Satan is the Pharoah here,
And so his doom shall come;
And so behind, they all shall find,
Though he do follow close,

I tell thee, now my every mind
Is to destroy his host.

Then I'll go through, they all shall know,
And smite the foes before;

For every nation now shall know

Their end is drawing near.

The Promise great, without deceit,
Shall surely come to Man;,
For Abraham's faith, I now shall clear,
In thee it hath been strong;

Then Isaacs see, and Jacobs be
Now joined with the word,

And in obedience I do see

How they believe their Lord.
So Jacob's sons they now may come,
Believers may appear;

They'll find my Promises are strong,
As I have spoken here.

And so the lands they now do stand
Like Israel's chosen race,

TYPES OF PHAROAH AND THE ISRAELITES. 205

That I'll redeem from Satan's hand,
For so the end shall burst;
So he behind, you all do find,
Like Pharoah to pursue;

And from the Type my Bible stands-
Bring all before your view:
The heathens here must surely fear,
They'll perish like the kings;
Because the likeness 1 shall clear,
The ending of the thing.

I tell you Men, for shadows strong
My Bible came so first;
And from the shadows I'll go on
Till every likeness burst.
When they were free you all do see
What wonders I did do;

How I destroy'd their enemy,

That was before their view.

These shadows here I now shall clear-
The nations do abound,

But their destruction they may fear;
My friends shall now be found

My lands to claim, they shall be mine,
My chosen to enjoy ;

And overy Foe, they now shall know,
I shall them all destroy.

Now perfect as the Jews of old

Mankind do now appear;

For though the truth to them was told,
Thou knowest, in deep despair
Did many go, thou well dost know,
Before they saw the end;

Their unbelief they strong did shew,

No wonders made them bend,

-The end to see in faith to ME,

And so to Man appear;

Because the End they do not see

Fulfilled in one year;

Then they turn back, and they do droop,
As Israel did of old,

Thinking that I to Man must stoop,

As I my mind have told,

To tell them plain I shall redeem
From every sore distress;
They think it hasty must be seen,
Or I do them oppress.

So now I'll clear like Israel here
My chosen Men are come;
Josephs and Calebs I have here
Amongst my hosen men;
'Their minds, I see, are bent in мs
The End for to go through;
And others like the Jews they be,
Their murmering I do know.

Thou now seest Men like them become,
And like the Jews appear;

They think deliverance must be come,
If I have spoken here;

If 't be not so they back will go,

Ne'er wait to see the end:

And from these shadows you must know,
Just like the Chapters penn'd
Do all appear, I tell thee here,
Believers do complain,

As their deliverance don't appear,
The promis'd land to gain;
They cannot wait to see their fate,
Of what is hastening on,

Though all the nations they do see
In wars and tumults come.

Then I'll go through, they all shall know,
As I went through before;
I surely will destroy their Foe,
And bring him to the shore;
So he behind his death shall find,
Like Pharoah now to fall;
The Foes before now in the war,
I'll surely conquer all;
The nations all they down shall fall,
That will not stoop to ME;
The promis'd land I now shall call
And to my people give,

That Abrahams here in faith appear,
And Jacobs to go on:
From Isaac see the Type of ME—
I rose again for Man;

So he the same, and Jacob came,
And so I shall go on,

Till Jacobs here do strong appear,
And Josephs to be found;
And Moses see the Type of ME,
How that in every sound

I visit there, let Man see clear,
And so I'll visit on,

Till all my Foes destroyed are,
My Kingdom then shall come.
The Shadows first to them did burst→→→
But Satan was not bound,

And so their pleasures did not last;

They sinn'd in every sound.

But now I'm come to make an end,

For to destroy their Foe,

And I'll bring in a happy reign,

My chosen friends shall know

That from the first the whole must burst,

As it did then appear;

It was to bring it to the last,

My Bible stands so there.
