godly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul." Eccles. xxi. 27.

Answer. He received his soul of the uncleanness of the woman, and where it is not taken away, it is sown again in the earth, to be purified till the first or final resurrection.

Wakefield, 29th of 5th month, 1835.

"A CERTAIN lord had a house to build, and he had a steward, and he gave unto him the entire dimensions of the house to be built, the length and breadth of each distinct part, and he said unto him, Thou shalt cause this house to be built according to the plan and directions which I have given unto thee, and if thou completest it agreeable to my directions, I will then give it thee.

"The steward then engaged men to build the said house: viz: a bricklayer, carpenter, plasterer, &c. By and by the lord's enemy came to the steward, and viewed the plan of the house, and proposed certain amendments; for instance, he says, Here is the firestead, it is a trifle too narrow, to correspond with the size of the room, only add to the size the least trifle, (say one inch,) and it will greatly improve its appearance, and give much additional beauty to the room, and will by no means be contrary to any part of the word, as it will answer its purpose just as well. The steward hearkening to the enemy, becomes of the same mind, and straightway adopts his improvement. By and by, the carpenter discovers another deficiency in the plan of the house, he says, Here is a beam which goes into the chimney, it may take fire, and be the cause of destroying the house, I propose that an additional row of bricks be added, to secure the beam from taking fire, and thereby the house may be saved; the carpenter makes a suggestion of the same to the enemy, who goes with it to the steward, who sees the necessity of the second improvement as well as the first.

words in the first Epistle to the Corinthians, "Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God." 1 Cor. x. 32. For he who gives offence to these churches, is a partaker with Satan, and the wages of that offence is the death of the body. But he that toucheth the people of my church, which is seeking for immortality, toucheth the apple of my eye. Now sentence is passed on the enemy; first out of those who become candidates of the sixth church, and then out of those who are to be aliens, or tenants to the seventh church, these both being Abraham's seed; the church of God, the seed of Sarah, and her servant, the seed of Hagar the bondwoman. For the prayer of the six churches is in this manner, "Forgive us our sins, as we forgive them that trespass against us," and "Deliver us from evil." Luke xi. 4. And they die the death of the righteous, so they are only delivered from the second death.

"But the prayer of the church of God is in this manner.- -Take sin away from me, (Rom. xi. 27,) and keep me from it; take away the stony heart out of my body, and give me a heart of flesh; which is a new heart, blood not being the life of it, but the spirit. This is the leaven of which I spoke in the woman's seed Jesus, (Luke xiii. 20, 21,) hid in the three dispensations, till the whole of the house of Israel be leavened by it, which is immortality; the bride and bridegroom being complete in one, whose members are one hundred and forty four thousand, they being found Israel. And I have remembered the promise which I made to Abraham touching his son Ishmael, wherein I said, I have heard thee, I will make of his seed a great nation. (Gen. xvii. 20.) They shall flee into the clefts of the rocks, and the caves of the earth, (Isa. ii. 19,) which is the city of refuge; for the face of the whole planet shall burn as the furnace which was prepared for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, or as Sodom and Gomorrah. "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the

proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble." Mal. iv. 1. And when I have destroyed all those from the face of the earth who would not that I should reign over them, then shall they come out of the city of refuge. "They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee." Micah vii. 17. Then they shall go forth mourning, and seeking Mount Zion, which is the bones of the whole house of the bride and bridegroom, and shall say, "We will wear our own apparel, only let us be called by thy name," Isa. iv. 1, to take away death. And I will take Satan from attracting them. And they shall serve the sons of God for a thousand years, without the death of their bodies, the sons of God being redeemed from the blood, into the image of the flesh of the Son of God, the Spirit being the life of their temples, so he that hath eaten my flesh, hath eternal life in him. (John vi. 54.) These are Jews indeed, who do not lie. "So I have shewed thee the sons of God, and the sons of men; for those to whom the adoption was made went in unto the daughters of the sons of men, who were born in fornication, and they took them wives of all which they choose, because they were fairer in their eyes than those who had the promise of the adoption; and it repented me that I had permitted the son of man to be made, by Satan sowing his tares. (Gen. vi. 6.) But I will overthrow him as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. As they saw the woman's seed ascend, so shall they see me descend in the woman's seed, taking vengeance on the sons of men, and redeeming the adopted to be the sons of God, that they may enter into the life which is eternal, and live in mine image; this is the seventh church, and is the true interpretation of the seven churches which were set in Asia; the visitation of my Spirit being the key of these churches. And I have now revealed it unto thee, Oh Israel!"
