wisdom, what is the meaning of the Apostle's words? what are the times of refreshing, to come from the presence of the Lord? and what is the meaning of sending JESUS CHRIST, to raise up a Prophet, according to the words of Moses? The Apostles did not understand what they wrote, any more than thou hast understood what thou hast written. If they had understood, they would have known, in the end, that I should raise up my likeness, greater than Moses, to be a Prophet, Priest, and King, to lead the people in the last days. But what likeness of MOSES was there in ME? Did I deliver the people from the hands of their enemies? did I establish them in any promised land, when I became flesh and blood and dwelt with men? Let them prove that this was done; and let them prove the time and season that the words of the Prophets have been fulfilled, in the chapters I pointed out to thee. This is impossible for them to prove; then now I ask them, where is my merit, where is my wisdom, or where is my power, to fulfil the words I said in my Gospel, that I came not to destroy the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfil them? And thou hast faith enough to believe in my sufficiency, my power, and my goodness, that what I have said I have power to fulfil, and to complete the foundation that I laid in the beginning. Because I have told thee, from my first coming, it was to die for the transgression of man, to cast out the adversary that betrayed the woman; and, by the Gospel, to prepare the way, to makè the path straight in the wilderness, that they may see, in the end, the way I meant to visit again, to set my Son on the holy hill of Zion. For, I now tell thee and all mankind, the Gospel is much plainer to be understood, in what manner my Second Coming would be, than my

First was from the Prophets.-Let them answer from the words of Paul, how GoD shall send forth his SoN made of a WOMAN? WHO is the Son that is to be revealed in the last days? WHO is the LORD GOD that is to dwell amongst mankind? What remains to be testified in due time? I now tell thee, the blindness of the professors of religion wrest the scriptures to their own condemnation; because they deny the truths they contain; and by saying they are fulfilled, when they are not, they strengthen the hands of evil doers to go on in unbelief.

"Now come to the words I spoke to thee this morning, that I should descend from the cross, and build up the temple, which the Jews destroyed

in ME.

Matthew, xxvii. 39-43. "They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests, mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will save him: for he said, I am the Son of God."

"Now I shall answer thee, from the language of mankind, and from the words I said to thee in the morning-If I am the Son of GOD, this year will I come down from the cross, by producing a BODY like my own, by producing LIFE as I laid down, by placing a CHILD in the midst of them; and whosoever receiveth the CHILD, receiveth ME; and whosoever rejecteth the CHILD, rejecteth ME. And I shall explain to thee the meaning, why I said, come down from the cross; as thou sayest in

thy heart, I was then taken down from the cross, and after that ascended to glory, from the account given by my disciples. But know, the cross stood as a disgrace, that as a malefactor I was put to death, and with malefactors I expired on the cross; so that my honour still stands as one stained with guilty blood, that men by repentance have not done away; neither have the eyes of their understanding been opened to see it was in love to man, that I submitted to the death of the cross; but how was that love mocked and despised by the Jews! how were my disciples put to death, for bearing testimony of ME, as the SON of GOD, to do away the stain of sin in the end! But who believed their report? See the nations every where am I not looked upon as a malefactor, and the cross stained with guilty blood? Is not this the language of the Jews? Do they not mock and despise my Gospel? Is not the language of their hearts now as it was in days of old?-We have a law, and by that law he ought to die? Know the letter that Bradley sent thee; then, from them, I still stand on the cross as a guilty malefactor, to be put to death,.

"Now come to the Christians, in your own land, who call themselves Christians, by the Gospel; and do they not say, that the Virgin Mary was a whore? that her son was a bastard? Is there not worse said by the professors of religion, than by the Deists and Atheists, who place the scriptures by the inventions of men? Thou knowest that Paine, put all to men's invention: then, by them, the cross stands stained with a malefactor; and it is in men I stand condemned; because it is looked upon as invention. But now come to those who profess to believe that there was a Gospel, that I was put to death for saying I was the Son of GOD; and my Dis

ciples blamed for believing my report, from the miracles I wrought. So that from men who so unjustly condemn, and do not believe I was the SON of GOD, I must now stand upon the cross as a guilty malefactor, with eternal disgrace resting upon my memory, which I have not power to do away. So that if ye discern the language of men's hearts, every way and every where, I still stand on the cross, as a guilty malefactor, justly condemned to die. For know I have told thee from the Calvinists, if they understood the doctrine which they preach, they make no more merit of my death, than the Jews, and the unbelieving world; for the way they have placed ELECTION and REPROBATION to be a fixed decree by the Lord, before the foundation of the world, to go on in every age, and yet my blood must be shed to justify the one, and condemn the other ;now from such doctrine, saying, the Lord delights in such cruelty, it gives room for Satan to plead in men, that the Bible is an eternal disgrace to the Deity and were it not for the blindness and ignorance of men, that the true knowledge and meaning of the Scriptures are reserved to the end, their sins would be of the blackest die, who place my Gospel this way. But know what I have told thee already, of ELECTION and REPROBATION: the ELECT was MAN, from the foundation of the world, and the reprobate was the devil, who first worked rebellion in heaven, and as soon as man was created, worked rebellion in man," when he had betrayed the woman, in the fall: and it was to free man from the fall that I suffered the death upon the cross, to cast out the adversary that betrayed the WOMAN, that MAN might have hope in the end. But where is this doctrine preached? who points out my love to man, in the shameful death I died for them? who hatli clear

ed my honour, in submitting to the death upor the cross? or who hath cleared the honour of God, to have this to be his will, that I should submit? In thy heart thou answerest, no man: for every doctrine thou hast deeply meditated, upon; because I have called all things to thy remembrance; and thou hast said in thy heart, there is no way placed by man, which clearly proves the love of God in Christ Jesus, by the shameful manner I expired on the cross. This thou hast been deeply pondering upon: because I have opened the eyes of thy understanding to see the madness and folly of these gospel preachers, how they stain the honour of God, in my love to die for man, more than to clear my honour, to shew for what ends I gave up my life. So that, by every sect and party of religion, I still stand as a guilty malefactor, offered up upon the cross; because my honour is stained by all.

Now come to the ROMAN CATHOLICS, who trust in man for their salvation, for their pardons, to send them to heaven; then if man could. pardon, what need I to die on the cross? If man could save them with an everlasting salvation, and. cast out their adversary that betrayed them, and bring in the redemption of man, then my Gospel, must be null and void: madness and folly they must judge in the FATHER and the Son, for ME to submit to such a shameful death. And therefore I told thee, in the morning, I should come down from the cross, and build up the TEMPLE of my BODY, which I said they should destroy, and I should raise it up again in three days. I have shewn thee already how I stand on the cross, by every sect and party, with an accusation written, This is JESUS the KING of the JEWS. This was mocked when I was on the cross, and now I have told them that I shall raise up a body that I laid down
