then began drops of rain, and the clouds behind? looked very black; then she dismissed the whole, only telling them to fear the storm. Guarded by her male friends she went safely through. The mob behind her were very invective with their tongues, but had not power to injure her, or her friends. Some wished to trample her under their feet, and others wished to throw her into the canal, others said they hoped the constables had got her; the answer was by some man, he did not want the constables to have her, if he could but get hold o£ her; a woman cried out, if this be religion it was time to put a stop to it. These and many other things were said respecting her, as we came out of the field; however she got safely through, without receiving any insult, as they did not know her. When she came to the house in safety crowds of friends came to the door, and though being fatigued, she went out to shake hands with them, till the rain came the second time.

THE ANSWER OF THE LORD.

"Now, Joanna, thee I'll answer,

From the shadow of this day,
Jah, Jehovah is thy Master,

Let them hear what I do say,
On everv side the field is wide,

The Type stands deep for Man;
And ninety-two bring to thy view,

Tor so this day did come,
When strong my Spirit did visit thee,

I n power for to appear,
Tiic powers of darkness known to be

Did strong oppose thee there;
But ill the field thou mad'st him yield,
lie could not stay thy hand,

'And made my angels come

To guard thee through, thou well dost knovf,

And so thou turnedst home.
Now to the purpose I shall corae:

This dav 'twas done by man;
The rage of hell in man did swell,

For Satan strong was there;
The different spirits, you know well,
Shew how 1 did appear.

\

Like angels men to thee were see*

To guard thee safely through.
And so no harm to any came—

The End is in my view;
The rage of hell I know will swell.

But I'll MY fRIENDS protect}
And from this day I all do tell

How that the End will break;
As parted here my friends appear,

Shelter'd from every Foe,
They saw the storms and hasty fled.

And homeward all did go.
So homeward here my friend* appear,

But they my rain shall see;
Tor though the storm thou first didst fear*

It always frightens thee;
But it is rain that's hastening on

That thou hast se'cn this day;
And to the purpose I shall come:

The drops fell down on thee, Which made thee fear the storm *as near,

But it I soon dismiss'd;
And so my friends have nought to fear»

That now in Me do trust.
They're shelter'd in from every tiling.

And all their foes shut out;
And so my friends I now shall scree*.

They nothing have to doubt. ,
The time is come, 'tis hastening on

That I shall all divide,
As by the waters this was done,

Though some broke through the tidt, Like Pharoah here for to appear,

And this I said they'd do;
But now the mysteries I shall clear—

Can they through Jordan go?
I tell thee, No; they'll find it so;

Like Pharoah they began,
Their chariot wheels, they'll shortly know,

Will heavily drag on.
I said before they'd so appear*

I ..ike Pharoah's haughty host;
But 1 my chosen men shall clear,

And rid them oft'the coast So now discern how I do warn,

And what Was said before, That Satan strong in man would come.

The end for all draws near:
My Bible see alike to be,

And this I did foretel,
The rage of Satan thou would'at sta-
in many hearts to swell;
Because in man he now is strong,

As I have said before;

But to the purpose I shall come,

To open every door;
My Bible's true before your view.

If you discern the whole;
And all thy writings men may see,

How they alike do fall;
For if thy writings they read through,

I told thee from the first,
As Satan's malice thou dklst know,

It strong in man would burst;
And so this day alike thou'st see,

But let them mark the end; They had no power over thee,

Nor could they hurt thy friend*.
So I'll keep ofi' the coming stroke.

And of my friends take care;
For when the dangers they do break

I tell them not to fear.
Because this day, to all I say,

The shadow's deep for all,
How safe my friends I'll lead away,

When dangers they do fall.
So here's a warning deep for man,
, A warning deep for all:
For mark the sun again 'tis come—

I told thee 'twas, My Rain;
Though thou didst fear the rising stornj.

And soon began by men,
But L dismiss'd, they could not burst

With fury on thee here;
And so, I tell thee, at the last

I'll make them disappear.
So the sixth day, mark what I say,

By this you'll see the end,
When Satan's malice works with men.

The way I'll screen my friends; And then no more my foes appear,

Than in this house they're found; And every mystery 1 shall clear,

\ How all will then be crown'd. Because this night bring to thy sight

What I did bid thee do,
Into my Spirit all to drink,

For I shall cleanse them so.
So with my friends I'll make an end;

But tell thee, from this day, .
As I have kept them from the foes,

The end to all shall be;
For by my care I'll guard them here^

They safeiv shall go through;
The storms of men they need not fear.

Though Satan will pursue}
But I'll divide on even' side
The waters that stand betweeu;

124

I'll smite the waves, I'll smite the tide,

•My chosen I'll redeem;
For Canaan's shore is now before',

The happy land they'll see,
But let the enemies take cart,
For they destroy'd shall be;
Because from hell, they must know well

The malice all doth burst;
For where's the man on earfti can stand

And see the Promise first?
On Satan's head the curse was laid,
'Can man wish it to free?
I tell thee, No; it is not so,
With hell the) joined be;
It is from hell their rage doth swell,

Or they would all submit,
To have the curse on Satan fall,

And tremble at my feet;
As tears this day in some thou'st see,

So tears would be in all—
"OurSaviour's reign we long to see,

"And have the Tempter fall,
"Now above man his curse to come,

"He was the root at first;
"And now we wish to cut it down,

"And have our Lord to burst,
"In glory here for to appear,'
"As he at first made man,
"We in his likeness might appear,
"And join the heavenly throng.
"While angels praise, let men now gaze,

"And wish their conquering Lord "His crown foe'found, his praise resound,

"And earth to praise his Word."
Thus would begin the hearts of men,

If Satan was not there;
And to his spirit they are bound.

Nor wish his chain to tear.
But now to meh I'll reason strong,

And let them 'answer' Me;
For to the purpose T shall come—

As men did so agree,
The blame at first on Me was cast;

Then let men now appear
And tell me why that at the last

They blame the Woman here,
Her Promise claiming to redeem

Her from her every guilt i'
That Satan may receive his curse,

That she so long hath felt ? -''
Oh! every way, vain men, T say,
Your Maker still you Ma'rrie;' '*
But soon you'll find there comes a day
I'll putmankind to shame. *~ ~' *

I tell you plain, you sons of men,

Manblam'd Me at the first;
But now I'm come to make an end,

The blame on you I'll cast.
Your fig-leaves here I'll surely tear,

And all 111 throw aside;
Your nakedness 1 11 now make bare—

The field for man is wide,
Because this day, to thee I say;

I parted by the storm;
And so they'll find it in that day

When I do man redeem.
The Type's from Me, they all must see.

The weather thou didst not know,
When I did bid thee to appear

And meet the people so;
On every hand behold I'm come,

And every hand now see;
Thy hand was freely ofFer'd here,
flo hand turn d back by thee;
And so no hand was my command.

Thou know'st I said before—
With all to wed my hand was spread,

With those that did appear
In love to come with them I'd join;

But now the others see,
A gloomy band, by Satan's hand

A fatal end they'll see,
Unless they turn, in sorrow mourn,

Before it is too late.
Yet over some my.heart doth yearn,

To see their awful fate
That must come on. to Me 'tis known,

Where unbelief abounds; They said they wish'd to tread on thee,

Their end will so be found. Thy labour here 1 now shall clear.

The six days thou'stwent through; But 1 shall make the mysteries clear.

And bring all to thy view.
When I at first the Wom An- plac'd

In theii.f days for Man,
And as the evil she did taste,

His Lord he did condemn; And now the same, let all discern,

The six days thou'st went througli, And told the manner I do warn,

What I am come to do:
To fix the curse that first was plac'd,
. And now they blame again;
Then how can Man the Trial stand

Both causes to maintain i
Jf 'twas not good, as first i t stood,
I've chang'd a different way,
