vision; and happy, thrice happy, shall these men be, who have begun, and will go on, till every curtain is drawn back. Man as man meaneth men, where it is spoken in these things. One man can do nothing of himself; so where I speak of man, I mean menand this hath hastened on; and these who obeyed the call came unto thee: for now I tell thee, and all mankind, now is coming the end of every vision: and as I kept nothing from Abraham, so will I keep nothing from thee, that I will do upon the earth.

The sword is drawn and shall go on;
The shadow doth appear:
And here's a fatal May for men,
Who now do mock thee here.

I said in Spring it would begin,
And it you'd see in May;

And now land back your every thought,
And all together weigh.

Because judgments are not speedily executed, the hearts of the sons of men are set to do evil.

So evil here in man appears,
Which did not hasty come;

But now I bid them all take care,
'This is a May for man,
Wherein they'll see such destiny

Will from this May appear;
And let the newspapers be kept,
And all may now see clear

What hath been done since May began,

And what is to the end,

Until the eleventh day of June,

And then behold your friend,

Who came to warn before the storm,
If they would warning take;

If they will not, now see their lot,
They all will see too late.

For now I'm come to shew them plain

My Bible all is clear:

The woman's promise you must c'aim,
Or all must perish here.

D

I will not stop; the time is up,
My Bible to fulfil :

The day of judgment now must drop,
And my avenging heel

Must now tread down the powers of
That nail'd me to the tree,

Unless 'tis cast on Satan's head,

To have it fall on he.

If they will not, I'll tell their lot;
In justice they must fall,

And they shall find the fatal cup
Is now held out to all.

The cup, you see, was given to ME;
And know 'twas mingled there
With vinegar and gall, for ME;
Then now let all take care;
For I shall mingle it again,
I tell you all, the same,

And point you to the prophet's head,
And tell you all my name.

I now am come the second time,
In Spirit to appear;

And as my miracles were wrought,
So are the visions here;

To shew you plain, from every sign,
The prophet's words are come;
And now I'll tell you all my mind-
I'll make a final end.

The root of Jesse doth appear;

And now the branches see:

The top you know is parted there,
And so the end will be.

Out of the stem the branches come;
And there the stem is two:

The man and woman now must join,
My labour for to do.

Then you shall see your destiny;
Because the cup I'll turn:

And true salvation you shall see,

Is now held out to man.

Behold the dove, then judge my love,

The waters to abate,

That will be high, you all will see-
The deluge now will break

O'er every land, you may command;
The sword will hasten fast;
And as the deluge did appear,

Just so will men now burst,

man,

I tell you all, now judge your call,
And see the tree of life:

If you stand there you need not fear;

The dove will end the strife.

The news shall come from heaven's high throne,

I say, to warn you all;
And if you flee in faith to ME,

You need not fear the fall,
That will come on in every land;
For there the cup stands deep-
It is sa vation now to man,
That doth my Gospel keep,
And looks to ME redeem'd to be,
As I did promise first;

And now your heads you may lift up;
For now it so shall burst,

I say, on men that now begin
To see my promise clear;
A paradise they now shall win;
The tree of life is there:

I say, for men the tree does stand,
And Abels it shall gain:
The cup is fury now to men,
If they will act like Cain,
For to go on as he began ;
The fatal sword they'll see:

The Spirit's sword it is my word,

And it is drawn by ME.

And men began, their swords were drawn,

I say, against my word;

Then down the other sword must come,

And perish in the flood.

For now I say to thee this day,

Your war is not begun,

That in the heavens was seen by thee,
But now is hastening on.

The sword of war shall now appear ;
My anger fast will smoke,

Now I have shew'd you all so clear,
If men do longer mock

The calling here that doth appear-
Ye blind, begin to see,

And with your Bibles all compare;
For all these things must be.

For marvellous things I said I'd bring,
And you may marvel all,

To see the likeness so agree,

And man refuse his call,

To cast his guilt on Satan's head,
That he did cast on man:
The promises you will not plead;
Then now behold the hand-
The cup of trembling must appear;
So drink which way you will:
I tell you that my kingdom's near;
My friends shall drink their fill,
I say in peace, when wars do cease,
And all my foes are gone:

I tell you plain, ye sons of men,
The cup for all is come.

But I'll end here, and say no more:
The vision there is plain;
But as the cup to thee appear'd,
I'll answer now of wine :
You all may fill which way you will,
And drink as there it stands.

If you do fill it up with wine,
Then wine you may command;
But if you say another way,
Let vinegar appear,

To fill for man it so must stand;
Then you may drink it here.
So as you fill, judge as you will,
I tell you, all must drink;
Because to man the cup is come,

And all stands on the brink.
I tell you plain, ye sons of men,
I've offered mercy free,

And told you how I'd you redeem
From sin and misery,

From Adam's fall, I've told

If you obey my word,

you

all,

To plead the promise in the fall,

To come on Satan's head.

But mockers here must now take care,

It is not on your own:‹

The lukewarm spirits I'll not clear;

For now their hearts I'll warm

With jealousy or misery,

For all I'll now awake:

The sword is drawn by my command,
My fury fast will break.

A fatal war shall now appear,
Since men's hearts are so cold,
That for my love they do not care-
The mysteries I'll unfold,

To shew them plain from every sign,
And how my Bible stands--
The woman's promise you must claim,
And paradise command.

If you will not, now see your lot,
The flaming sword is near;
The tree of life must end the strife-
My friends have nought to fear :
The Spirit's sword by them is drawn,
And they shall conquer all;

Because they'll see the power's in ME,
To make my foes to fall.

So now blame none, whate'er doth come,
I do you all invite,

To bring the serpent's ruin on,
And make you sons of light.
But if you refuse, my love abuse,
And judge my friends unwise;
Another year you will see clear,
That darkness blinds your eyes;
Then wise you'll find my friends to be,
This calling to embrace;

And you too late will see your fate,
That do my friends disgrace:

Who do appear to see all clear,"
And gladly hear the sound,
They shall possess the promis'd rest,
When Satan's chained down."

A DREAM.

Monday, May 23, 1803, Joanna dreamt that she was carried through the air, and saw a dark cloud, like the shadow of trees. When she came near it, she saw two grey horses, that sprang out with fury, and ran with swiftness through the air.

The Answer of the Spirit.

"Now I will answer thee concerning the meaning of the two horses. Grey horses denote death, that is hastening on fast. The horses that ran with swiftness, and started as though frightened, are two
