1 will bring them forth, and place thee among them, till the time that I reveal my son Shiloh. But if they refuse to hear my voice by thee, I will do as I did unto the Egyptians, for death shall be among them in every town and city where they are, until they acknowledge it. Therefore be not dismayed at their looks, for I will give thee the line and the plummet, until the time they acknowledge me, whom the Hebrews condemned and the Gentiles pierced.

Liverpool, 17th of 4th month, 1823.

Be thou strong and valiant, and likewise him that shall be with thee, for I will make your voices like the voices of roaring lions, and thy voice shall be heard from pole to pole. For I have searched thee out from amongst my people, in a family of dry bones, wherein is no soundness, and they shall be thy greatest foes, and thy two worldly brothers will swell hard against thee. Have not I, Jesus, given thee these lines?

Written from John Wroe's mouth by Robert Harling, of Thornhill.

Bay of Biscay, 1st of 5th month, 1823.

I CAUSED the winds to obey thy voice, and I have caused him that is with thee to be a witness of it; for I have caused a calm for two days and nights, that thou mightest see that I was with thee, to perform all my words, which I spoke unto thee; for I will cause seven men to travel with thee, and these seven men shall be witnesses against them when I perform my work.

Now, I tell thee, these people to whom thou art going will do great things unto thee; therefore do thou nothing in thy own strength, neither be guided by them, for if thou art, thy troubles will be great.

Gibraltar, 21st of 5th month, 1823.

Now I tell thee, the Hebrews will not receive thee yet; for if they received thee now it would be no trial to my people who have received my word before. Be thou of a contrite heart, for I will make thee roar like a lion after the prey of my Spirit; for the clergy shall call thee a madman, and the lawyers shall tell thee learning maketh thee foolish: kings shall ask thee questions, and not be able to answer thee; and the Hebrews shall gnash their teeth at their Rabbies, saying, "Is this the doctrine you kept us so long dark in? We will not uphold your robes any longer, for God has given us a light and we will follow it; and we will be no more either Hebrews or Gentiles, but the true Israel of God."

Written from John Wroe's mouth by Robert Harling.

St. Michael's Cave, Gibraltar, 29th of 5th month, 1823.

YE shall yet go to Jerusalem, and declare my words there; and thou shalt prophesy there, and I will perform it against that people. And I will shew thee the place where I suffered, and where my temple shall be built, and thou shalt see the foundation thereof, for I laid the corner stone in the Scriptures, as thou hast seen in vision; and as thou hast seen it spiritually, thou shalt see it temporally, if thou watch my movings.

Did I not tell thee they should receive thee in this place? I sent my angels before thee to prepare the way. Did I not tell thee at first that Satan desired to have thee, that he might sift thee as wheat? But thou art not in his hand, though he fights hard against thee.

Thou hast wept much in the ship, but thou shalt weep more in Jerusalem, for they will do strange things unto thee; but I will deliver thee from them: fear thou not, for I will prepare for thee. And thou

shalt go into the Synagogue, (in the place where thou now art,) on Saturday, the last day of the month, and stand boldly before them, and then I will tell thee what I will do unto them.

Written from John Wroe's mouth by William Cooke, of Gibraltar.

Speech of John Wroe to the Hebrews, in their Synagogue, at Gibraltar, 31st of 5th month, 1823. I AM commanded by the Spirit of the living God to go unto the house of Israel, to see if there be any Israelites; and if any of you are found to be so, you are to gather yourselves together, as men of one heart, and keep the law of Moses, which you have not kept, and then he will give you his laws which you have not believed.

I have to inform you also of your mistake, which you have made in the words of the prophet, where you are told, "He must come and suffer; and that if ye believed not he would give you up till the fulness of the Gentiles; for he never told you that he was the Branch." Now he sets his hand a second time to recover the remnant of his people. For you have it in your Scriptures, "Give righteousness to the king's son." Now to you that believe, and fear his name, "The sun of righteousness shall arise, with healing in his wings, and shall destroy the devourer for your sakes." Search your scriptures, and see if you cannot find these words: for this is Shiloh, the Branch, who shall gather you, and deliver you from the bonds of Satan. For your deliverer shall descend from the east, and "every eye shall see him." Now, friends, I am sent to warn you, and not to be afraid of you.

Gibraltar, 1st of 6th month, 1823.

I HAVE sent my angels to testify to thee I am the

root of the branches of the six churches, and they that will not hear my call, I will give the destroying angel power, and he shall destroy with death, sword, pestilence, and famine. Have I not spoken it? And I will perform it. And be thou not afraid of them, nor dismayed at their looks, but declare the things that I shall speak unto thee, for I will protect thee.

And thou shalt go into Spain, and declare my words against that people. I see thou art desirous of preaching, but I have not sent thee to preach unto them, but to declare my words, which I shall give thee, for I have prepared me a people in those nations, that shall receive my word by thee, which is my everlasting gospel. (Rev. xiv. 6.)

And thou shalt be brought before kings, judges, and rulers, for my name's sake, and thou shalt prophesy against them, and they shall put thee in prison, that I may confound their wisdom

Gibraltar, 22nd of 6th month, 1823.

ABOUT ten o'clock I went to bed, and heard a voice cry out to me, saying, "What doest thou here? Arise and go to the Methodist preacher, and tell him thou art come to join his society, for I will cause thee to join many societies, and thou shalt be all religions, and I will cause a remnant to come out many of them."

Gibraltar, 2nd of 7th month, 1823.

I, JESUS, from heaven, command thee, John Wroe, to warn the kingdom of Spain, that if they return not from their wicked ways of worshipping images, made with men's hand, and bowing before them, that I will draw my twoedged sword against them, and it

G

shall turn every way, till I have destroyed them. But who is this that has caused them to err? They have hearkened unto their priests instead of hearkening unto me.

Now, I will tell you what I will do unto your priests; I will chase them as hounds chase a fox, till I utterly destroy them, and the remnant that is left shall slay your king, and they shall know that I have sent this unto them by my servant. For I will let you see that I am coming the second time to recover the remnant of my people, those that will have me to reign over them; and those that will not have me to reign over them, my sword shall be against them, for I will be the king of the whole earth, and there shall be no king but me; and I will reign over them, and they shall know that I am the Lord, who have spoken unto them by the mouth of my servant, John Wroe.

Ashton, 9th of 9th month, 1823.

THOU hast seen no mockery yet to what shall take place against thee; for they shall be for haling thee to prison in many places; and these are the clergy whom I have permitted Satan to bring against thee,. for a testimony against them.

Written from John Wroe's mouth by Henry Lees, of Park Bridge, near Ashton.

Ashton, 29th of 9th month, 1823.

- THOU shalt stand up at two o'clock on Sunday next, at Birmingham, and see thou go not to either mayor or magistrate, but stand boldly before the public, and tell them my decree is fixed that I will not alter. For I will draw a large number unto thee, and they
