door of his tabernacle would have been opened, and the Spirit of God would have entered in with his spirit, "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;" Rom. viii. 16, 17; and swallowed up the blood and made it immortal, as a sufficiency of fire put into a boiler would swallow up that water, and thou couldst not tell where it would go. It was the poison he received from the uncleanness of the woman, which caused death to be pronounced on his body within the thousand years. Hast thou not seen boilers eaten with rusty water, till large pieces have fallen off?

Answer. Yes.

Wakefield Meeting, Sunday Morning, 1836.

LET us rejoice and be satisfied, whether we be of the Gentiles or the Hebrews; for if we be of the wild olive, we have only to die, and shall be raised to a higher state than that from which Adam fell. These are the two olive branches, which stand before the Lord of the whole earth, (Zech. iv. 11-14; Rev. xi. 4,) but ye are of the seed of the natural olive, of Abraham and Sarah; or else, why have ye come out from among the wild olive and circumcise, and wear your beard; ye are not of Hagar the bondwoman, for if they were grafted in with the wild olive into the good olive, they would have observed the gospel though they were circumcised, and wore their beards, and yet Abraham's seed. It is written, "By their fruits ye shall know them." Matt. vii. 20. When the incorruptible bodies are raised, and placed in their different mansions in the kingdom of heaven, they will be known by their

fruits, and the natural immortal bodies by their fruits, they possessing the kingdom of God."

Bradford, 22nd of 5th month, 1836.

SAMUEL MILTON, of Crediton, inquires, How they are to know who is of the corrupt tree, and who is not? "I answer thee: those that are of the corrupt tree, whether their parents were Jews or Gentiles when they were conceived, have not eyes, nor ears, nor heart, to see the life of their natural bodies, because they know they must be sown in the earth again, neither will they sign the covenant, nor seek for their temples not to be defiled, for one that is conceived of the corrupt tree, the temple of it is defiled, and must be sown in the earth again; but when that part is taken away which defileth the temple, the door shall be opened; the other part which is not defiled shall be made whole, and needeth not to be sown in the earth. So every man that seeketh to me to take away that part of sin with which the man inoculates the woman's seed in its purity shall find it; and this shall be to him the partial redemption from the man of Satan to the Son of man, for my Spirit to abide on him. He that leaves off contention with the world, and taketh their own word, by the same shall they snare them and make them ashamed. Marvel not at the corrupt tree, seeing it must be sown again in the earth, for my word is as the sower who went out to Sow seed some fell in good ground, and some in stony places, where there was not much earth; others fell among thorns, and they sprung up and choked it. "When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth

M

it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty." Matt. xiii. 19-23. When the Spirit of God descends and shines upon those that are sown in good ground, they bring forth fruit an hundred-fold. The woman's seed is pure, but her heart became impure by the seed of man, and any one that is a full member, and marries with one who is not numbered in Israel, is in danger of sowing his field with mingled seed. (Ezra ix. 2.) I heard a terrible thing from the Lord.

“Thousands shall fall on the right hand and on the left, and woe to this place, Bradford, for they shall not be able to bury the dead, for they trampled his servant under their feet, and in a short time this will be accomplished. The vision which I shewed unto Ezekiel, (chap. i,) is figurative of the chariots which shall be as though they flew on the railroads, full of faces of men and beasts. The beasts shall howl as they pass in the chariots, and the lions shall roar. This shall go to all places.

"In the name of God I bid you farewell, though I never see you again, it is but as a moment, until I must either meet you in incorruption, or immortality. Whoever keeps God in view in their minds, is always praying, not only evening and morning, and you shall be as though you prayed all night in your sleep, and angels shall carry you and show you the glory of incorruption. This shall soon be accomplished with some of you. Many will depart this life, and there shall be heard a voice of praise.'

Bradford, 24th of 5th month, 1836.

THIS morning from twelve to four o'clock, the words of the Lord came unto me, and the Spirit of the Lord abode upon me, which gave me understanding to hear the words, which were as follows.

"The building of the temple shall shake the pillars of the house, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, they shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and they, and all which they delight in, shall melt and vanish as a scroll; and that which Í preserve for the new heaven and the new earth shall stand eternally. And for the rest, it shall come and fall at its owner's feet, I will bring them forth as the worms creepeth out of the earth, so that every man that shall dwell in a cottage, that which is evil of his cottage shall return and die at his feet; and every man that has a field, that which is evil in it shall return to him, whether it it be that which crawls on the earth, or in the earth, or walketh on its paws, or feathered fowls that fly in the air, and shall fall at his feet, and the owner that is like unto them, shall fall with them, for every thing that seeketh to take life, and eateth flesh shall die, but every thing the heart of which I change from eating flesh to eat herbs and vegetables, shall live; and he that ceaseth from eating flesh, and is willing to give his mortal life that may be made immortal, I will open the two-leaved gates, (Isa. xlv. 1,) and the Comforter shall enter in with his Spirit."

Wakefield, 5th of 6th month, 1836.

"THE twelve tribes of Israel, from the time of their being given up, to the time that I call on them to remember the first covenant of the immortality of their bodies, are as though they were hid from mine eyes, touching the first covenant, and are under the

second covenant, the redemption of their souls, to the time that I call on their offspring to remember the first covenant."

Wakefield, 23rd of 7th month, 1836.

"IF the husband and the wife be conceived of the cleanness of the tree of the woman, and be descendants of one of the families of the hundred and forty-four thousand, which have sought to be kept from generation to generation, and they go in unto the tree, and the tree break in its uncleanness, and she conceive and bring forth a son; that child, though it be the firstborn, is not an heir, and the next son which they shall beget in the cleanness of the tree shall be heir; but that which was conceived in the corrupt tree, its body shall die, with its branches that it begets, though they be conceived in the cleanness of the tree afterwards. Or if it be a female, she shall die, and all the branches which shall be born of her. They have no eyes nor hearts to know of the immortality of their bodies. But that man and woman that do it wilfully, and know of my decree, their bodies shall die as well as that child, within the seven thousand years, there shall be neither root nor branch of them left. For that which is corrupt shall become corruption: but he that asks for the root and seed of sin to be taken away, shall not be overcome, though yet females will suffer death by their unbelieving husbands, by being forced in this state; these are martyrs to me, they have lost their lives for the testimony which they have held of me, and shall minister unto me in my kingdom, that the cup of iniquity may run over.

"Fear not, Oh Israel! nor be dismayed at this, for thou shalt overcome! I kept the eldest heir reserved, and the firstborn of Isaac I set typical as the end, that Esau should be as the end of the old world, that I would fix my decree in Isaac, and I
