them, if you did not pursue for your own honour; for that is the way I shall clear mine.

[blocks in formation]

It is the LORD he hath disgrac'd :

Then shall I honour he?

I tell him, No; that he shall know,
And all shall know the same;
My anger onward now shall go

To those that mock MY NAME.
My BIBLE see, is known to thee,
No
Than in the words I've spoke to thee;

greater to appear,

So let them all take care!

If I went on, from man to man,
In ages that are past,

And simply I did lead them on,
I tell them, at the last
Shall I appear then stronger here
Unto a simple Maid

Than unto Man I then did come?
No: Men you 're all misled.
But all is here, I now shall clear,
Do like MY BIBLE stand;
And so my Bible's mocked here
By thousands in the land.
Farago here they cannot clear;
Then now I'll clear the whole:
I know my Bible Men do tear,
*'s words do fall.

Like
The BIBLE see, is known to ME,
Is mock'd like

*'s word;

And perfect as he mocked thee,

So Men do mock the LORD.
The BIBLE through, I well do know,
They mock all that is penn'd;

OF THE ORIGIN OF SACRIFICES.

From heart to heart I sure do go,
And now I'll prove, the end
Is surely come the same to MAN-
They 're like the Jews of old:
In my command they would not stand,
And so their faith grew cold;
And Israel there did so appear
To bring their sorrows on;
My statutes they could never bear
For to continue long;

They did depart in mind and heart,
My statutes they despis'd;
Forgot the blessings I had sent,
Wonders before their eyes

They quite forgot, I minded them not,
As years to them roll'd on;
And now the same I see MY NAME
Is mock'd throughout the land.
Thy writings here I now shall clear,
"Tis more than man can do

To make their mockery out so clear,
If they will all go through;

As thousands stand now in the land,
My Bible to despise.

Men say like He, 'tis known to ME,

"Should GOD act so unwise,

"That way to come to every

As in my Bible penn'd

Man?"

The mysteries there no man can clear,
Till I do shew the END;

How all was plac'd from shadows first,
The shadow of the Fall;

Then I began to guide them on,
And so I Man did call

For to obey what I did say,

And sacrifice prepare;

The Beast I order'd them to slay,

And my command was there,

This should be done from man to man

But what was it to ME?

'Twas but a Type that now shall stand-
The Beast you all must slay.

Could Bullocks there to man appear
To atone for any guilt?

I ask, my honour could they clear,

To say that they had spilt

The blood of beasts and sins increas'd?

How could the beasts free Man?

No, no; the end was MY intend

To shew my every plan.

The Beast at first, you know, was cast,
A curse upon them all;

But on the head where it was laid,

The Serpent in the Fall,

[merged small][ocr errors][ocr errors]

Above the Beasts, you know, his curse
Was then pronounc'd by ME:
But now the shadow of that Curse
In Beasts, to man did say

That they should kill, their blood to spill,
Atonement for to make;

A mystery see the end must be,
For so you all must break,

The Beast to kill, his blood to spill,
As MAN at first spill'd MINE.
Therefore this thing I did command,
To shew it at a time

From shadows here I first appear'd,
From shadows I went on,

From Types, thou seest the ways of ME
Does in MY BIBLE stand;

As thou goest through, thou well dost know
How Moses' Type was plac'd;

And first the Serpent I did shew*,
And now observe the next:
His hand appear'd so wither'd there,
That I did soon restore.

These shadows see I then told he,
My wonders would be more

In Egypt wrought, as then I spoke,

And so I did go on

From Types all through, thou well dost know,

And simply did guide Man;

And simply here I now appear,

To tell you all the end;

These Types and Shadows pass'd before,

From Bullocks I did send,

That unto ME no use could be,

Yet it was MY COMMAND;
Because the ENDING all might see,

The Beast can never stand.
So now from Saul I'll answer all:
As he the Beast did save,

His Kingdom I from him did call-
I said not one should live;

So now again I say to Men,

The Beast I now shall slay,

Whereon whose head the Curse was laid,

And then the END you'll see:

When every Man with ME doth join,

Wishing to slay the whole;

The Beast in Hell that there doth swell

These offerings two must fall;

For offerings two, thou well dost know,

Are in my Bible penn'd;

Sin offering there it doth appear,

But mark and see the end;

Peace offering see was plac'd by ME;

Then let Men know the iwo:

• Exodus iv. 3.

THE PEACE OFFERING AND SIN OFFERING. 177

A sacrifice they made of ME,
And they the Lamb did slay;
The Type before did then appear,
The Hyffop and the Blood."
My chosen Men I then did clear,
When Pharoah felt the Flood;
So Pharoah see the Beast must be-
The sin offering was there;

The peace offering must come from ME→
And now the Type see clear.

So by the LAMB you now must stand:
It is HIS BLOOD must FREE,

To bring the peace offerings to Man,
If you will live in ME,

And now regain the PROMIS'D LAND,
And CANAAN's happy shore:,
It is in ME you now must stand,
Your PEACE offerings are here.
For now from sin I shall begin

To cleanse the WHOLE away;
Because the Beast shall now be seen
That all his Power I'll slay.
The shadows here shall all appear
A substance great for MAN.
From types and shadows I shall clear
The way the END shall come.
But thou dost begin to work within,
To ask what shadow here

That like the BIBLE can be seen
To have your PEACE appear?
Because that long thou'st ponder'd on,
It did with none remain;

Their peace to wars they soon did turn,
And often did complain

They were distress'd and sore oppress'd,
Then how can I go through,
To make MY BIBLE at the last
A Type before their view?
But I do say to thee this day,
The Type in it stands deep:
When I my el osen call'd away,
And Pharoah I 'nade sink,
Then I went on, by Joshua's hand,
The heathens to destroy;

And if they'd done by my command
They might the whole enjoy;
But i saw clear the BEAST was there,
To work in every heart;

And so their minds he did ensnare,
Till they did from ME depart;
Then did begin their sorrows strong,
When they did wrong pursue;
But when the END to all is come
The sin offering is so,

[ocr errors]

The Beast be slain, not to remain,
Whereon I plac'd the Curse:
On Satan's head it first was laid,
And now he shall not miss

That curse on he pronounc'd to be-
The offerings must be here;
Wishing to slay the Beast with ME,
And let MY PEACE appear;

Then peace offerings to Man I'll bring,
And for them I'll atone;

And so the LAMB the Blood must come
To make your PEACE be known;
Then it may stand by MY COMMAND,
When all my foes are Яled;

As ISRAEL stood by Joshua's hand:
But know, when he was dead,
They did depart in mind and heart;

And this will ever be,

Till as a KING 1 do begin

The every Beast to slay.

But Man would not, you see his lot,
And so his crown did fall-
His KINGDOM then to DAVID came;
That Type stands deep for all:
But here thy mind is deep confin'd→
"Did David bring in peace?"

I tell thee, No; it was not so,
Neither did he release

The grief of Men, for it was strong,
And sin did then abound-
And when upon this Earth I came,
The same I heard the sound.
SO DAVID here I did appear,
In tumult and in war;

But now the end for all is near,

In SPIRIT I'll appear;

My SPIRIT strong shall be in MAN,

For to destroy the Foe,

That works within to tempt to sin,

And then my peace you'll know.

Joshua xx. 1, 2, 3-The Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, speak to the children of Israel, saying, appoint out for you cities of refuge; that the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. Chap. vii. part of verse 13-Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, there is an accursed thing, in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until he take away the accursed thing from among you. Deutero
