what is meant by living in the Spirit, and walking in the Spirit? 1 Cor. xv. 22-For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Ver. 24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. Verse 25--For HE must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death,

Now unto man I bold will come,

Like Pomeroy to appear;

Just as the words were spoke by him
The shepherds I see here;
They make the same my Bible come,
My prophecies, I see,

In sense and nonsence they go on
And make it blasphemy.

My Gospel here no man can clear,
The way that they go on;
What wisdom in your God appears,

I ask the sons of men?

When that this earth I did bring forth,
And form'd it at the first,

Froin my Apostles it is plac'd,
I'll do it at the last.

Now Adam, see, is said by ye,

Died in the Woman's Fall;

And so you all must live in ME,
When I to her do call;

For just the same, you see my Name
You must be made alive,

As he did die, I now do say,

Then how can you contrive
Another way? they answer ME;
For blasphemy is here,

What my Apostle then did say,
If you the thing can clear;
Another way that this must be,
In Adam you did die,

And by the Woman's hand, you say,
Did my Apostle lie,

To say in ME your Life should be,

As ADAM's death did come?

What sense and nonsense do you make

Your Bibles you condemn;

For blasphemy was spoke by he,

If I don't make it good,

The very way that he did die,

From her 'tis understood;

Then now the same, know ye MY NAME

My SPIRIT strong is here,

-THE BIBLE IS NONSENSE TO HUMAN WISDOM. 351

That she the Promise now may claim,
And make my Gospel clear.
The strength's in ME, you all shall sec,
The ending now is come;
And as my Gospel here is plac'd,
I tell you, so't shall come :
The enmity destroy'd shall be,
The power of hell I'll shake;
To tread him down I'll now be found,
And all his power I'll break.
As he began I now shall end,
After his manner here,

The Woman was his bold intent
To make the guilt appear;
But known to ME his arts to be,
The way that he betray'd;
Therefore the PROMISE I made she,
HER SEED Should bruise his head.
But can it come, ye simple men,
Till she the PROMISE claim?
Then her I'll free, you'll live in ME,
That do with her contend-
"Our Bible's true, before our view,
"And it he'll now make good :
"The POWER of CHRIST all this can do
"To bruise the Serpent's head.
"Then now we see the enemy

"That he will here destroy;
By Satan first the death was cast,

But now we shall enjoy,

"For CHRIST to come and him condemn.

"And conquer then our Foe:

"When the last enemy is gone,

"Then all our joys shall flow.

"Like ADAM's first when he was plac'd,

“And PARADISE began ;

"So when on enemy is cast,

"Our Life in CHRIST shall come!"

So men see hear my Gospel clear,
How you do place the whole,

In sense and nonsense you can't clear,
Your wisdom down must fall:
My Bible, see, s blasphemy,
The way 'tis plac'd by man;
And my Apostles they must lie:
The trial none can stand
For to appear, my Bible clear,
Till I do all reveal;

For sense and nonsense men make here

If I must all conceal,

Never appear in SPIRIT here

To make my BIBLE good;

I ask mankind how they can clear
My Bible as it stood?

So now from he I answer thee,
My BIBLE men must blame;
And sense and nonsense they must see
To put them all to shame.
Now pen the word that's on record,
I'll answer thee again."

Ephesians vi. 13. to 17-Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Now from my word, that's on record,

I bid mankind to take

The SPIRIT'S SWORD, it is my WORD,
To make all hell to shake;

To chain him down my word is found,
And will you it deny?

Then sense and nonsense you must make
My BIBLE as it doth lie:

My armour here I bid men wear,

The armour whole of ME;

When my Salvation doth draw near

The GOSPEL'S PEACE you'll see

In every land it then must stand,
But evil days come first;
Because the unbelief of man

Will make my anger burst.

But those that come in faith now strong,

Judge all my BIBLE TRUE,

The shield of faith they must put on,

To quench their every foe;"

For fiery darts in evil hearts

He'll surely work in man;

Therefore your hearts, you must prepare

In all MY STRENGTH to stand;

That is, in ME your faith must be
My Bible I'll fulfil;

Then you will quench your enemy,

My BIBLE is your SHIELD

Of FAITH to stand, as I command,

My helmet shall be near;

MEN BLIND AS TO THE SECOND ADVENT. 353

IN MY SALVATION you shall stand,
Then what have you to fear?

The Spirit's sword, you'll find MY WORD
Will bear you safely through,
If you do say with one accord,
"We judge the GOSPEL TRUE,
"That CHRIST will come again to man,
"As he did say before-"
And my disciples so did name,
And so doth now appear.
"So we believe that none deceive,
"Our Bible's plac'd this way."
But if in fear men do appear,

The TRUTH they ne'er shall see;
Then they may come, with Pomeroy join
"What blasphemy is here,

"To say that Christ again should come
"Our every guilt to clear?"
Then they'll go through, I tell thee now,
And place my BIBLE wrong,

If they deny my Bible through,
This way I shall not come;
Then I'll appear like Pomeroy here,
And answer from his word:
Your jarring nonsense none can clear
To prove the TRUTH of GOD;
Pretended here then must appear
My BIBLE's prophecies;
Because your wisdom cannot clear,
To say they did not lie,
If I don't come again to man,
As they have plac'd it through,
My Bible they do so condemn,
As Pomeroy said of you:
But he shall fall, I tell you all,

And tremble at MY FEET;
There's no way he shall shun his call

For if he'll now submit,

Honour to lose to free the cost,

Your honour you'll maintain;
Because that he like thousands be;
He is a Type of men:

And blasphemy was spoke by he,
That every soul shall know;
So by that man, I say, your land
In blasphemy doth go;

So his reproof may others move,
As they're reprov'd the same.

If blasphemy is spoke by he,
Then thousands so are come.
For to blaspheme my every NAME,
MY BIBLE all deny;

But Pomeroy now I'll put to shame';
Then let the mockers cry-

Y y

"Like him we stand throughout the land,

"His honour he hath lost;

"Nor can we now uphold the man,

"If he in lies doth boast."

But know, vain men, you do contend
In lies as bad as he:

And I shall prove it in the end,
Then trembling you may flee
Your fate to shun, as he began;
For he cannot appear,

(Knowing the LIP of TRUTH must stand,}
With any courage here.

He will see plain, ye sons of men,
That he hath caus'd his fall;
And so with men I shall contend,
He stands a Type for all."

Here ended Thursday night, Oct. 25, 1804.

Monday morning, October 29, 1804. Galatians iv. 4, 5, 6-But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a Woman, made under the Law, to redeem them that were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father." "Abba, Father." Chap. i. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Verse 12

I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

THE ANSWER OF THE LORD.

"Now, Joanna, I shall answer thee: Thou hast never received thine from man, nor hast thou learnt it from any doctrine of man, or any revelation of man; but from the revelation of MY SPIRIT, which is sent forth into thy heart, that ye may be made heirs of God through Christ. Now why do men preach another doctrine, and deny my Spirit being sent forth in thee? Then they must preach ano
