To bring a SPIRITUAL race to man ;
Because the woman was my PLAN,
To have mankind be born anew.
Now bring my Gospel to your view;
I said, ye must be born again.
Look deep, ye simple sons of men;
And tell me how that man was born,
You say," from Adam 't might be known;
"Without the woman he did appear;
"He was the dust that perish'd there.
"And so the dust doth still go on;
"And putrefaction's still in man."
But of the woman I was born,
(A mystery deep no man discerns)
To putrefaction did not come :
Then now like ME be born again,
And from the woman all appear;
And then I'll make you sons and heirs ;
For heirs of GOD you now shall be,
And, as I said, joint-heirs with ME;
And of the SPIRIT now be born.
You know 'tis written, in her form,
That God would surely send HIS SON,
When the FULL TIME was surely come;
That as in Adam all men died,
Even in ME, it is applied,

That all I'd make ALIVE to be-
Appear vain men and answer ME,
How you my Bible so deny?
The HOLY GHOST, I then did say,
My Father would send in my Name,
And all to your remembrance bring;
And all together is brought here,
What men by learning cannot clear,
No more than they can make a race:
The Sodomites must men disgrace.
I ask what children there did come?
For men's inventions all are wrong;
And so 't went on from Adam's fall;
I came as man unto you all—
As man I lived, as man I died:
As very man by you applied;
And yet you say I'm VERY GOD;
Then sure the woman must be know'd
To stand before you like my Bone;
For GoD and MAN alike to join.
The SECOND ADAм must appear,
As in my Gospel you see clear,

65

For to redeem you from the first;
And there the serpent must be cast;
Because he came to tempt the bride,
As he did Eve, it is applied;
But she like Eve did not submit ;
And him I'll chain beneath her feet;
And she shall surely tread him down ;
And all men's wisdom I'll confound,
That do like Adam now appear,
Condemn ME for the woman here,
As Adam cast the blame at first;
But man shall find I'll cast it last;
Because no more I'll bear the blame,
But put the sons of men to shame.
My SECOND COMING is begun,
I tell you, in the WOMAN's form;
And I'll go on and make an end;
I died to be the woman's friend,
And as her friend I'll now appear,
In every page that's written here.
And so I'll end it with the Crown;
As fifty-eight their names were found,
To sign their names, as doth appear-
Satan is cast, the Woman's clear'd.
And I'll go on to clear the whole;
And now's your time to stand or fall.
So here's the Bone shall not be broke i
The SECOND ADAM is your lot,
For to redeem you from the fall-
Appear vain men, and answer all,
How Adam's likeness can appear,
Without the Woman? Who can clear?
Or how you'll cast the blame on hell,
Without the Woman? mortals tell.
Let all my Bible to appear;

More blind now than the Jews you are:
Yet they of wisdom did proudly boast;
And by their wisdom they were lost.
And all men's wisdom is the same;
For dead to knowledge man I'll name-
He was pronounced by the fall,
And now I'll prove you are dead all,
To every knowledge of your GOD;
Confirm the lie which Satan said,
That a true knowledge you should gain;
But soon I'll make you know you're men;
And no more knowledge have of ME,
Than a dead corpse has eçes to see,

When he is buried in the dust;
So wrong your wisdom you do trust;
And so I'm come to prove you're dead
To every knowledge, as I've said.
It is by faith that some believe;
But learning doth men all deceive,
Wherein their wisdom they do trust;
The natural branch that way was cast-
And the wild olive is the same,
And so high-minded are become.
Then now 'tis time to stand in fear;
The natural branches perish'd there.
Then sure the olive will the same;
No man by learning knows my Name;
So to your learning do not trust;
I tell you all there man is lost;
Because my Bible none discern,
Nor in what manner I do warn ;
For how could I pronounce man dead,
If that his knowledge was not fled?
And now I am come to try them all,
And down their wisdom it must fall:
And all as new-born babes become,
Confess that ye have all to learn;
And then I say I'll make you men ;
And the GOOD FRUIT to all shall come,
That will like Moses now appear;
Put off your shoes as he did there-
That is your wisdom all put off;

Weigh deep these lines-I've said enough
And to the SEALED now I'll come,
And tell you how I'll join all men.
For how can man his talents boast,
And prove his wisdom shines,

When all his wisdom it is lost?
Another lies behind,

And then condemns what he hath done;

Then where's the man can boast,

To say his wisdom bright does shine?

No, every man is lost.

In wisdom here no man can clear,

To prove his wisdom's good: Because another does appear

And say that it is bad.

And so 't went on, I say, by man,
Ever since Adam's fall;

And every century trace you back;

Then prove the truth of all.

But now I'll come to rescue man,
And make the blind to see;

That when my Kingdom doth come down,
You of one mind shall be.
As I've begun I'll now go on,
Tifl all are of one mind.
And to the sealed letters come
My Kingdom there I'll bind.
So now ye see the mystery,
How I shall draw you all

;

Ye that don't come, it shall be known,
Must die in Adam's fall.

For there's not one I will redeem
From Adam's fallen race,

That do not come with ME to join,
And plead my SAVING GRACE.
So by the SEALS, I'll now reveal,
'Tis there your Names must stand,
If you will be wedded to ME,

And gain the promis'd land;
For there's no man that is not found
For to be seal'd below,

That shall possess this earthly ground,
When I my Kingdom shew,
For to come down, and rescue man
From Satan and from sin,
And give you all the promis'd land,
That I for man ordain'd.
"I know them not " shall be their lot,
When I to man appear;
My Kingdom you have all forgot,
And you're forgotten here,
To have your names enroll'd above,
As you've refus❜d below;
You all despise my PERFECT LOVE;
And how will you appear?
I said on earth you must be seal'd,
Before you were in heaven;
And now the mysteries I'll reveal,
And I my Seal have given.
The second Star doth now appear,
And to the Bride is come;

If for the BRIDEGROOM you'll prepare,
Then let your faith be known;

To give your names that I may come,

For to deliver here

From Hell and Sin; my Kingdom win,

And let your namesappear;

Or else your lot, "I know you not,"
You'll find is then my cry;

The BRIDEGROOм you have quite forgot,
And let your lamps grow dry-
That is, your faith is wither'd here,
And all your oil is gone.

I told I should so appear;
you

But lamps in every hand

Must then appear, when I come here;

I ask, what lamps must be

It is a faith for to believe

That I shall rescue ye,

From death, and hell, and Adam's fall-
The promise there was made;

And so I said, I'd rescue all;

Oh, men, be not misled!

What's seal'd on earth, the scripture saith,
Is surely seal'd in heaven;
Therefore your names I know them not,
Where you no names have given.
But those that give, and then deceive,
And say their faith was wrong,
They're loosed here, and shall appear→→
For so their lot must come.
So now you see your destiny,

The hours of all went wrong;
And twenty-four, now judge ye,
For so the day is crown'd;
And so 't shall end, 'tis my intent;
The names must all appear;

By my command the names must stand-
And so I have ended here."

This communication was given to Joanna, in 1795, concerning the Sepulchre of our Saviour, and the Sealing up of her Writings.

"When in the Sepulchre I soon was laid,
The stone was roll'd and the seals were made,
To guard my Body, it might not arise,
Or my Disciples e'er deceived their eyes.
This was the wisdom first begun by man;
Now change the lines, and to the other come.
