But he that has the pure olive, the Spirit of Jesus, seeks for the immortality of his natural body, and beareth fruit of the pure olive: and his spirit will be grafted into them that bear purging. Then the vine descends, and abides on them, and they enter into it, as Jesus entered at the river Jordan, they being the begotten of God, it being of the Godhead. Then he bears no more fruit of the olive, but of the vine; for they must be born of the vine before they can enter into the kingdom of God. So there is two births; the first birth is the wild olive being grafted into the natural olive, which is man being grafted into the Spirit of Jesus; but the second birth is the vine being grafted into them, they being the pure olive, which maketh them of the vine-becoming the bride of the other vine, it being the bridegroom, fulfilling that Scripture, "He that hath the bride is the bridegroom." John iii. 29.

"So there are two Spirits of the Godhead which are of God; and there are two spirits which are of the manhood, of which the two pure olives are set figurative, Jesus being called the bridegroom, the house of Israel the bride; so they being begotten of God, dwell in the vine, till they be born of God, that is to say, become as God, his bride, he dwelling with them in his temple; for every branch that is only grafted into the Spirit of Jesus, though it abides in it, yet not bearing fruit as the pure olive, the body dies, yet because he was grafted in at the first resurrection, I will raise up his soul by his spirit from that corruptible body which is laid in the grave, with a spiritual body as the angels, like unto that into which they were grafted, which he appeared with first unto Mary, when he said, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father." John xx. 17.

"THIS shall be the sign to the house of Israel: Chil

dren shall rise up and turn their parents out of their houses: children shall rise up in factories. This shall take place in all nations.

"This shall fulfil that Scripture, "The world shall be turned into the old silence seven days." 2 Esdras vii. 30. The world is the people, and they shall be afraid of their offspring."

"As a gust of wind tosses a man from the helm of a ship, so is a man who has lost the helm of his heart, that is, the power of his brain which rules the heart, and if he is taken in the state he is in at that time, he is not accountable for what he does while in that state; whether he pray it availeth nothing, or whether he hear the laws it availeth nothing, unless he be brought back again to gain the helm, which is the power of his heart.

"God will bring man to judgment for what he does to the time of losing the helm: a man may up lose it by drunkenness, and when he comes to himself again, where is his ship? Perhaps a thousand miles from the place, therefore let all take care that none snatch the helm from them. By and by a law will be passed in both houses of Parliament, that every Society shall have a law of their own, and the law of the land shall protect them.

"Is it right for a man to feed the poor and be in debt himself? So is every one who robs and afterwards feeds the poor with it."

Question. Suppose I have a water-tap, and another man has one, and the water of mine burst out, and I cannot stop it, and I call the other man to assist me; but by and by his bursts the same, whether is it better for him to continue helping me with mine, or attend to his own?

Answer. Attend to his own.

"FOR I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me." Job xix. 25-27.

Question.-Joseph Shaw, whether was it his natural eyes with which he then saw, or his spiritual eyes that was here meant should see for himself and not another.

Answer. His spiritual eyes.

Question. Whether was it in his temporal flesh which he then possessed, or the flesh of his seed that was to be born after him?

Answer. The flesh of his seed that should be born after him.

Thou hast answered wisely. It is said, "Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days." Hosea iii. 5.

Question. Whether was it David himself or the seed of David, which was Jesus, that the children of Israel were to return and seek for?

Answer.-Jesus.

"GOD created the good and the evil in the woman, and commanded them not to touch the evil, but let it lie still. (Gen. ii. 15-25.) Iniquity was not found in Satan till he attracted the evil in the woman, which caused her to eat of that evil, and give it also to her husband, and by his eating it caused him to fall to a mortal life, and liable to a corruptible life.

"Now we are commanded to let our evil lie still, as Eve was commanded to let hers lie still. As the skin covereth a viper, so the woman by eating of the evil caused both the man and her to be covered with a skin as the viper; and Christ by the hands of the woman shall strip off the evil, as the stripping off the skin of the viper.

"A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.* And by chance there came down a certain Priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.† But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host,|| and said, unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee." Luke x. 30--36.

"The law without the gospel is the penny, or gospel without the law, which each who have repented before they die will receive at the first resurrection, but the keeping of both is the two pence, which Israel will receive when this mortal body shall put on immortality."

Written from John Wroe's mouth by William Tillotson.

* The spirit of the man left the body half dead.

† And all mankind that has put on immortality, passed by the same poor man, though they were just men made perfect.

Which is the law and gospel.

To them that lose not the faith of their natural body before they die, they being members of the incorruptible bride.
