And bring them all to see my death;
And let them see their living faith,
Which way they judge my blood will fall:
The day of vengeance, known to all,
Was in my heart for to appear:
The law and gospel you see clear.
So now appear, ye righteous men,
If you like ME have laid your plan,
The sinners you must wish to free-
Think on my words at Calvary:
"Father, they know not what they do:"
I crav'd their pardon; so must you:
If that my spirit you have got,
'The sins of men you'd wish to blot,
And cast all on the Tempter's head;
And so like ME would be your plead,
Which every soul will find is near.
But man knows not what he doth do-
The visions, open'd to their view,
Do with my Bible all agree;
And every word I've spoke to thee
Doth in these visions all appear;
And yet I see that man doth err.
So let the other vision come,
And then I'll answer thee again."

SIXTH VISION.

On St. George's Day, April 23d, 1803, Joseph Prescott saw the following vision, at four o'clock in the afternoon; of a crown composed of diamonds, of a rich and curious form; the bottom part of which was four square, on which were four short pillars, four large arches, and several small ones adjoining, in a serpentine form. At the top of them was aball formed with diamonds, branches of diamonds spreading from the ball, top and bottom, different ways, in the form of six cornucopias, encircled in a circle of glory.

Being at a loss how to describe the vision, and pausing over it, he heard these words: "Joseph, tell my servant to stile it a crown: for it is a representation of the complete fulness of the Godhead bodily."

SEVENTH VISION.

Sunday, May 8th, 1803, Joseph Prescott saw the following vision. At the further end of the room where he sat, he beheld seven angels as large as middling sized men, dressed in white robes. They stood very close together. At the right of them was placed a small angel, with a piece of green plant in his hand. At the left of them stood a garden-pot full of mould or earth. The last angel of the seven, on the left hand side, beckoned to the small angel, to come to him. The small angel went and took the garden-pot, and placed it on the table before Mr. Carpenter, on which his books, visions, &c. lay, and planted the green plant he held in his hand in the pot, and then went to the place he was before in. It immediately began to grow, and although only a small branch in the hand of the angel, soon grew up until it nearly reached the cieling, in a spiral form; on the top of which shot forth a red flower of a large size, or a great cluster of small ones, from one and the same stalk. This vision continued upwards of two hours.

An explanation, given by the Spirit to Joanna, in answer to the vision of Josehp, of the Crown representing "The fulness of the Godhead bodily ;" and also of the vision of the seven Angels, and the little Angel, green plant, &c. &c.

And what the prophets did foretel. The guilt of all men on ME fell, Until they brought ME to the tomb, To suffer in the sinner's room: But how their sins did I then free? Appear vain men, and answer me, From any judgment you can draw; Now bring the Gospel and the Law; And then you'll see the Gospel's pole — Go from the tomb-ascend to all, With the six thousand falling down ; But on the top behold the crown, With the six thousand rising up, Much like the horns you see at top; And like the horns it doth appear, A mystery deep no man can clear; But yet the mystery I'll make plain : When Abraham offer'd up his son, The youth was freed, the ram was there, And on the altar offer'd was; And on the altar, all shall see, The horns are plac'd, and man I'll free, That now in Abraham's faith appears; And all shall find the horns are near, To make the tow'ring walls to fall, Which Satan strong hath built for all.

"The tempter, he hath had his time; And now you'll see, I will have mine ; And all these horns I'll give to man, And in the thicket catch the ram, That now must perish in man's stead. If they like Abraham will proceed, They'll find that Abraham's seed is near, And all the earth I will bless here; Because that Isaacs you must comeUnbind your sons, and cast the ram, That I have said defiles my sheep; For in that form he often creeps, I tell you plain, amongst my flock; Therefore I told thee men know not What they are doing, to condemn; For Satan in disguise is come To lead my wandering flock astray, And so they perish in the way, If that no Abrahams could be found, With faith like his, their sons to bind Upon the altar of my word, And judge me as a faithful God,

That I shall raise you from the dust,
And so like Abraham is your trust,
And so like him your sons I'll free;
And then the horns, you all shall see,
Shall gain the victory in the end.
Mark the two rams by thee were penn'd,
A type of Satan and of ME:
And so the brazen serpent see,
How I the likeness did. compare;

A mystery deep to man I'll clear,
What they could never understand.
But mark the crown, and then command
How in and out it doth appear,
And so my Bible's placed here;
For in and out it must go on,

Before the straight paths they can come ;
And then you'll see, a perfect line
From every crooked path you'll find.
For so my Bible now I'll clear:
"Tis perfect like the vision here,
And in and out it all went through;
As none can prove my prophet's true,
To bring it all in a straight line;
For like that vision, all will find,
My Bible's in and out to man,
I tell thee, crooked like thy chain,
That in one link cannot appear

To prove it straight-the truth I'll clear.

"In crooked paths I came to men;
My footsteps they did not discern,
Nor could they see my footsteps clear:
They judg'd Isaiah he must err,
If I the Saviour then could be,
Despis'd by man, in poverty,
The Prince and Saviour to assume,
The mighty Counsellor to become,
And the desire of nations be,

And all the earth possess'd by ME,
When all the earth did ME despise :
My followers then were judg'd unwise:
Then how could I to man appear,
As by Isaiah spoken there,
The wondrous Counsellor to be?
No; here the crooked paths, you see,
Did not appear in a straight line;
The mysteries out they could not find,
A man of sorrows to appear,
Wounded and griev'd, their guilt to bear,

Whom they esteemed not at all;
And so my death appear'd to all,
I tell you, crooked from the tomb;
The bye-paths were unknown to man :
Yet in that path did FAITH appear,
And all my disciples follow'd there,
To join the path close to the tomb,
Affirm the crooked paths were known,
That in such path I must appear;
And they went on, like ME before,
To let them know that no straight line
Could prove my Bible all divine.

"It is in bye-paths you must see
The wondrous working all of ME;
And so in bye-paths they did come,
In crooked paths, unknown to man :
They made my death for to appear
A straight path, as you see it there:
Because the stem goes through the whole,
And so they plac'd the Gospel's pole;
And so the Gospel doth appear

To every true believer here:

For they in crooked paths go on,
Until the ending near is come;

But they can point out no straight line
How that my kingdom you may find.
The OUTWARD COURT doth all appear

In crooked paths, as heretofore;

Then sure the INWARD COURT must come,
To make the Law and Gospel join,

How in one chain they do agree;
And, from this vision, all shall see
How it is like the sons of men;

You'll find the INNER COURT must come.
So let the INNER COURT appear;
And now I'll tell thee who they are-
But, from thy heart, I well do know,
The INNER COURT thou judg'st them so,
'Tis these that wait my voice to hear,
That I will answer all their prayers,
And they do wait to hear within;
The inner court they must be seen;
And so the inner court they be.
But here's a mystery none do sce:
The inner court is now without;
Because the Spirit they do doubt,
What to another may be given;
And so they judg'd the God of Heaven.
