fingle one without it's Meaning. The Science of Correfpondencies teaches what is fignified by a white Horse, and what by him that fitteth thereon, what by Eyes which were as a Flame of Fire, what by Diadems which were on his Head, what by a Vefture dipped in Blood, what by fine Linen white and clean, with which his Army in Heaven were cloathed, what by an Angel standing in the Sun, what by the Supper of the great God to which they should come and be gathered together, alfo what by the Flesh of Kings, and of Captains, and of many others, which they should eat. But the particular Sig-, nification of each of thefe Expreffions, according to their spiritual Sense, having been already explained in a fmall Treatife concerning the WHITE HORSE, it is needlefs here to say more on the Subject: Suffice it to obferve, according to what was fhewn in that Treatife, that the Lord is there defcribed as to the Word, and that by his Eyes which are as a Flame of Fire, and by the Diadems

on

on his Head, and by the Name which no one knoweth but Himself, is meant the fpiritual Senfe of the Word, which Sense no one knoweth but the Lord Himself, and he to whom the Lord is pleased to reveal it; further, that by a Vesture dipped in Blood, [or ftained with Blood,] is meant the natural Senfe of the Word which is the Sense of the Letter thereof, to which Violence is offered: That it is the Word which is thus described, is very manifeft, for it is faid, HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD; and that it is the Lord who is meant, is alfo manifeft, for it is faid, that the Name of him that fat on the Horse was written KING OF KINGS AND

LORD OF LORDS. That the fpiritual Senfe of the Word is to be opened at the End of the Church, is fignified not only by what is here faid concerning the white Horfe and Him that fat thereon, but also by the great Supper, to which all are invited, by the Angel standing in the Sun, to come and eat the Flesh of Kings and of Captains, of the Mighty,

of Horfes and of them that fit on them, and of all both free and bond: All thefe Expreffions would be in vain, and without Life and Spirit, unless there was in them an inward fpiritual Meaning, as a Soul in a Body.

10. Again, in the Revelation, Chap. xxi. the Holy Jerufalem is thus defcribed, "There was in it a Light [Luminary] like to most precious Stone, "as a Jafper Stone, like to fhining Chrystal. It had a Wall great and high, having twelve Gates, and over "the Gates twelve Angels, and Names "written of the twelve Tribes of the "Children of Ifrael. The Wall was 144 Cubits, which is the Measure of a

Man, that is, of an Angel. And the

Building of the Wall was Jasper, and "the Foundations thereof were of "every precious Stone, of Jafper, of

Sapphire, of Chalcedony, of Emerald, "of Sardonix, of Sardius, of Chryfolyte, "of Beryl, of Topaz, of Chryfóprafus,

of Jacinth, of Amethyft. The twelve "Gates were twelve Pearls. The City

"itfelf

"itself was pure Gold, like to pure "Glass, and was four-fquare; the Length, "the Breadth, and the Heighth of it "were equal, 12000 Furlongs;" with many other Circumftances. That all the Parts of this Defcription are to be understood spiritually, may appear from this Confideration, that by the Holy Jerufalem is fignified a new Church, which is to be established by the Lord, as was fhewn in the DOCTRINE Concerning the LORD, n. 62 to 65; and inaf much as by Jerufalem is there fignified a Church, it follows, that all Things faid of it as a City, concerning it's Gates, it's Wall, the Foundations of the Wall, and alfo concerning their Measures, contain a fpiritual Senfe, for all Things relative to the Church are fpiritual. But the particular Signification of each Part of this Defcription is explained in a Work concerning the NEW JERUSALEM, published by me at London in the Year 1758, wherefore it. is needlefs to repeat the Explication in this Place; it is enough to know from C3 hence,

hence, that there is a fpiritual Senfe in every Part of the Description, as a Soul in it's Body, and that without fuch a Senfe nothing relative to the Church could be understood in what is there written, as when it is faid that the City was of pure Gold, it's Gates of Pearls, the Wall of Jasper, the Foundations of the Wall of precious Stones, that the Wall was 144 Cubits, which is the Meafure of a Man, that is, of an Angel, that the City was in Length, Breadth, and Heighth 12000 Furlongs, with many other Circumftances. But whofoever, by Virtue of the Science of Cor-, refpondencies, is acquainted with the fpiritual Senfe of the Word, he underftandeth all Parts of the above Defcription, as that the Wall and it's Foundations fignify Doctrine derived from the literal Sense of the Word, and that the Numbers 12, 144, 12000, have a like Signification, denoting all the Truths. and good Things of the Church in one Complex.
