Now mark the third, 'tis on record. The leaven doth appear; And so the end is here. My Gospel to make good, And so my Gospel stood; Could Satan bring this round? My Gospel so is found. And let your thoughts go deep, The way that all do break. If you do this discern; To bring thy Trial on; From man 'tis fixt: When every man didjift hit haad% For he is cast, as all is plac'd, The Revelations so are plac'd; So I'll end here, and say no more-; And as the music thou dost hear, About seven in the evening Joanna withdrew, after having continued in the assembly until then, bringing forward a variety of important passages in her writings, relating to the Trial, in the course of a chear ul conversation, which tended to display her wonderful simplicity of character. And soon afterwards the meeting was adjourned. • As the two last lines were penned, Joanna heard Miss Carpenter playing on the piano forte, accompanied with singing. THE SIXTH DAY. MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1804. The proceedings commenced between ten and eleven this morning, by taking into consideration what had already been given, during the Trial. At half past three Joanna entered, bringing with her a communication just received, which was read, being as follows: '* Now, Joanna, I shall direct thee. This is the sixth day of thy Trial, and the fifth of thy appearance; to-morrow ends thy Trial called forward by ME ; and know, by this Trial every thing is brought to my Gospel. Here is the third time of the little leaven, and here thou seest thou hast leavened the whole: or I have leavened it for thee. So— . Now let the learned men dispute, Or I shall strike their learning mute- To see a Woman thus appear I tell them all 'tis time to fear, That as in Adam men did die, , The Woman's voice that do obey, Is surely come to guide thee on, To bring my Gospel in this form- The way 'tis done, let all discern, But they rcfus'd, and then I chus'd In love to come, to all'tit known; Their names on record so should stand, o % To be the men my Gospel penn'd, When I did come again Youi Saviour's love made known. The Cains and Abels see; It is the Cains mu;i flee; Mv Bible all to clear; Before I've ended here. Her Promise for to claim; It first va1; fixt for men, As !<e did her beguile; The way I her should foil And her desire should be, In sorrow she would see To bring them forth to man; The way I've led her on. A prophecy made good; Let this be understood; Their husbands cannot rule So man must be a tool, To place to Women all; When 1 In Spirit call. Thy pondering heart I see— In all men cannot be: What toil do they go through? These thoughts are in thy view; v But I'll appear to answer here, That sorrow comes to all; , To say no grief did fall; 1 tell thee, 'tis but few But tlo in labour now appear, He labours to get bread; They labour, as I've sa;d; His trials to go through, Without some pain, I know; They labour all to gain And often feel much pain; He labours just the same, To guide and jjuard your land; The parliament all see, For I do Tiow tell thee, Or grandeur for to shine, I tell thee, in their minds. In sorrow men go on And sorrows quite unknown Upon the sons of men: To say he ne'er felt pain; And let all flesh appear; To say—«' no pain 1 bear, "No grief of mind I ever find, * No labour for my bread; *« All toil from me was ever free, n All grief from me is fled." To say his life went through The curse was never fixt tlpon all men, to suffer pain; Then I shall answer next, And I did feel it here; So on Me all this load did fall. If mem do say they miss'd At first I felt all this, Man's nature to assume; Till 1 came to my tomb. For Man I all went through; The Woman's in my view, To clear the every guilt; What I for Man have felt. When Man receiv'd his Fall; Oh, men, behold your call! And if for Man all this was done. The Woman's in my view, As she was so betray'd, To cast on Satan's head The sorrows she'th went through, Bui 1 Iter grief do know; Her children here do now appear, And now I shall answer thee in plain-words. If the curse, that wa? pronounced on Man, hath not followed every man that came into the world; yet know, it fell entirely on Me; for mark my Life, from the Manger to the Cross, if I did not go through the whole for Man. But how can I bring in Mans Redemption, before I come in the Spirit to clear the Woman? So if the Prophecy given to the WoMan is not ful ailed in all women, which no man upon earth can prove it is; then know, it most be The way led on by Me." |
