maIl mull rai[e my hand; which you will fee in a letter fent to a dignitary in my fixth book, and which
is now fulfilled. Now 1 mult obferve, that 1 was
ordered to-publifh in 1801, and at the end of that
year three minilters came Irom different parts of the
kingdom with four other gentlemen, to fearch out
Ihe truth of my writings. The minilters waited upon
the bilhop of Excter, and I wrote him a letter which
..-as delivered to him, offering to give up to his judgment, or any other minilters he fhould appoint, if
they would only examine my writings, and prove
they were not from the Lord. But 1 rai~ if they declined this olfer, l fhould relign to the Judgment of
thofe gentlem;:n who came to fearch out the truth.
The bifhop declined; as did all the olher minilters in
ai1d near Exeter, to whom I had written. 1 was then
ordered to give my writings, realed up, into the band~
ofthe gentlemen wbom the Lord had cholen to £earth
out the trulh, and to have them proved in London, as
the minillers in Exeter had refured to examine tbem.
So I delivered my writings, fealed up, to the gentle.
men, on Tuefday morning the 5th of january 1801.
The May following 1 was ordered to go to Londo",
and was told 1 /bould never return till my writings
were proved. The latter end of July, 1 was infonn-cd by the Spirit, that Satan had complained againft
my fealing the people that wifbed for his deRruaion.
and tbat the Lord would give him liberty to come to
me, and I fhould cOfttend with him* (but he was 110t
permitted to appear vilible) and if 1 Rood Ollt with

whom the youth noW lives: and on the lixth I had
a communication concerning the vilion of the crowns
DOW given to the public: but I mun inform my

at the houfe of the gentleman near London, where I
raw a furnace perfeElly like one that I faw, in my

February, 1803, the fame gentlem~n lOok int? hi;
boufe this youth, who had been trJ the habit of
feeing vifions from 1793 to the prl!fent day, and had
drawn many hundreds of them, and had fent fome to
miniRers, who jud~ed his vifions came from the
Devil. Some miniRers prayed in his father's hour~,
that the Spirit might leave him. Their prayers did
not prevail; for the vifio/ls Hill followed him. On
March the 4th the youth had the following vifioD,
at the houfe where he now lives.
JOSlPH PRSSCOTT'S VISION,
March-4,
180 3.
An Angel appeared, in fize like a grown perron,
in a loole blue robe, with a Har on her head,
like a cap, a rquare box under her arm, about
a foot each way, apparently of gold. She opened
the box, in which was a crown. To look at it
all together, it looked like a Rar of diamonds.
Four large arches came from the ball in the cen.
ter, at the top. Between each of the four arches
there was a fmall crown like the large one. Un.
derneath the ball was another linall crown, hang.
ing to the ball. At the top of the ball was ano_
tber crown. The angel faid, tbe lOur arches fig.
nified the four quarters of tbe 'Vorld, and the
crowns between the four arches, CROWNS of WISDOM, that tbe people of the world are to be crowned
itb, aDd the crown 'Ind,r the ball, the CROWN
of LIGHT, that was 10 b<l in the hearts of the
peopk. The BALL was the World-The crowQ.

ce That the world ncver had but three lrul rtli.
gions, every oue of whieh had a prophet. Firll,
God chofc the Jews, and did wonders for them ill
Egypt, and brought them forth by their prophet
Mofis, who prefcribed them a law, wherein he would
have maimained them, i( they had not been obfli.
nate and rehellious, and fallcu to ido'atry: where.
upon He gavc them over, and fcaltered them upon
the face of the eartb. Then prefemly after, God
nifed a new prophet, who taught the Chriflian
religion. This good Man the Jews condemned, and
crucified for a leduclr of the proplc, being not
'moved with thc-piety of His life, His great miracles,
nor His doarines: yer, arter His death, the preach_
ing of a fcw Ii!hermen did fo move the hearts of
men, that the great monarchs of thc world bOwed to
His very title, and }'ielded to the commands of His
minillers. But it feeml, they in procefq of time grclv
as corrupt as thc Jews: their church being disjointed
with thc titlc 01' EoJUrn and We/lan, committing
idollhry again, by iellin~ up images, with many
other idle ceremonies, bdides .he corruption of their
Jives: fo that God was weary of them too, and not
only fcnt divilions among them, but forfook thcm,
and difpo/fc/fed them of their chiefell citics, ]mifa1m and Cor!f1anlinople. Yet, God is Ilill governor
of the world, and H'mfelf hath raifed up another
prophet and peoplc, even our great Mahomet, giving
him to our nation, fo as no doubt we !hall be happy
for evCJ', if we can ferve this God aright, and take
warning by the fall of others. But, alas! I tremble
to fpeak it, we have erred in every point, and wil.

VISION
"The part of the mill at theN eckinger, Bennondfey,
where his eve was direaed jult about ten o'clock, all at
once was obrcured, and exhibited the appearance of
a dark night with the lky full of Stars, the Moon appeared very low, the principal parts of a dark red
color interrperfed with fome marbled part of light,
like its natural color;-on the right hand of the
moon, and higher up from the horizon, wai the Sun,
which appeared of a dark, grey, gloomy color,
about half as large again as the moon. with fome faint
rays of light around it. Above tJ.1e moon, and Sun,
were rolling ligbt clouds, in form of a femi-circle, or
rainbow reverfed. The underneath parts dark, th~
upper partS light, from the glory that was over it.
Ahove thofe clouds, and on lome fainter cloud, that
fccmed at a further diltance, was a large grey horft,
exceeding in fize all he had ever feen. On it was a
Pcrfin, whom he believes from what followed to be
the Lord, drelfed in a large look flowing robe of a
red color: underneath which He had a c10fe garment
of hright purple",a broad (alh over the right £boulder.
and under the lelt arm, of.the fame colar. l'pon his
head was a crown of t\\ elve Rars, and four arches
wilh a ltar between each arch, and one on the top
of each arch, and four lt~rs in a c1uller on the top of
the ball: and in his right hand a fword large and
broad, which he 11eld perpendicularly: with the other
hand he. appeared to guide the horfe. The light extended itfelf above in a femi-circle or arch, which
with the clouds below formed a complete circle.
In the circle, above and on eaGh fide the harre, were
an immenre number of angelic faces, of various fizes,
at various difiances, and apparently of different ages.

" From a voice behind him it was faid, if a repre.
fentation or drawing, was coveted by anyone that
was a Believer in thtfi things, it lhould agaIn appear;
but there was no command for drawing it."
The
ANSWER
to the
VISION from
tIll
SPTRIT.
The fword of the Spirit is drawn by Me. I am
the Captain of their falvation, Ihat am now going
on conquering and to conquer. The horfe repre.
fents men that My Spirit refieth on; and as the
bridle is in my hand, fo will I hold, guide, and
direEi them who now trult in Me, and rely On the
words given to thee for direEiion and for proteEtfon.
And as one leg is broken and turned round under
My heel, that was bruifed by thel powers of darknefs
working in the bearts of men to bruife it, when they
nailed Me to the tree! fo thall My heel tread down
that power, to break his legs, and all his footing here.
Satan hath but one power-I have three powers, viz.
I have power to give life, and power to take it away:
I have power to fend bleffings on the earth, or to
withhold them. Satan hatb but one power, and that
is to rempt men to fin, and now that power !ball be
liken away, and God !ball be all in aU,
For I~t on< POOl", I fay, /hall fall;
Ull as that leg is now tum'd round_
oil fo hi, power /hall now be found

And lrue believers now I'll 611
With power I made them for at flrA t
And now's the time that power llull burft.
For know that hDi' rtfembles man

The Third V ISION 0/ JOSEPH PUSCOTT o/ihe Crowns
and Croffts.-Btrmondfiy March 9, 18°3'
About half afte£ feven o'clock, Jofeph was fittint;
in the kitchen, at the Neckinger, in company with
_*, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. From feeing
fome rays of light from thence, he faw a crimfan
velvet culhion, four fqu!lre, with gold taU'e\s and
fringe, letters formed by diamonds on it, and the
word " CHR lST."-Above that were ribbons of
blue and white plaited together in form of a ba
In it, and about it, were red rofes and hearu-:b
and upon' ,he culhion, by the bafket, was" a Star"
and a crofs in the middle. Two fcepters acrofs each
other .like the letter ><: were laid on the flowers,
and a crown of diamonds on 'the fceplres. On the
balket was wrote in diamonds the word" SPa,IT."
On the crown was wrote" GOD," wilh diamonds.
The crown had fivtrl arches, and a crofs, with red
diamOllds, on the tl1p of the ball; and over that was
a repre(cntation of glory. If! that glol) were tlVO
fiars, three points to each, one in another; and over
that, in printing CharaBen, thefe words; " B I II 0 L P
THI GLO&Y Of THE, T&tNITY,"

A t eight o'~lock it made its fecond appearance,
cxaflly in the fame manner, only with the addition
of an angel in the middle of the room; II' hQ Utter_
ed diliinflly thefe words: "Spealt not of this till
thife oe gone,"
And that the liar of gtory, which was on the
cufhion, was a temporal reprefenttltion of the fpiri.
tual glory to be inherited hereafter, through the
merits of the Crofs of Chrili. The liars are a
reprefentation of the Trinity:
Thru-in.One and
01ll-in-l hru. A further explaination of which !hall
be given h~reafler; and if a drawing is wifhed it
fhall appear again. A drawing was coveted, and it

A bird hath power to mount up an Of.

And £hun his foe" when he dOC's f~e them ntgh,

You may confine all beans you well do know,
But wherc~'s your bllitdi~gcan confine a bud?
And fotbeir wings I'll liken 10 My word.
For no man living can My word con6ne- ~
BUI well 1 know what's in thy heart and mmd;
That cage and houfes may confine t~cm ~creJ
And lake the power from the DO;lung an,
Where they in no wa)'$ can mount up to ny,
And fo their winers un be confined that way.
Bur this thou fay·ft can never be ;n God j
For there's no man that can confine My word.
To Ihis I anfwer, here is thy miRake,
When you confine a bird you trouble take,
To have your cages and your houfc prepared,
Or elfe you know yOli can't C'onfine l~m there;,
Becaufe lbe open walls, Iho' e'er fo high,
You know the birds will foon mount up, Ind fly
Out of your power; )'ou can nomore command;
And per rea like l!l.e bird, My word dOlh R.nd.
You may confine Me by your every prayer,
For w prevent thejudgmenu that arc near;
A, Nineveh at firn COlIn ned Me fo:

For co confine f\1e by then every prayer;

Altho' My word was gone, mark whar"is penn'-d._
It wa, by pra)'cr rh.er ~en con6n'd My word,
That I /hould aa with mercy like a God;

And, fo with mercy I did then appear,
\"'hlle every heart (0 Me a c~ge was there.
But wben Iheir cages th('y were all broke down,
And open hOllCes unto Me were found
Then like the birds from them 1 flew a'way~
And brough, ,he ruin I before did fay.
And fo to Eli I did prove ,be f,me :
He ma.de a cage for to confine My name j
1 fay I tn honour he did it con6ne,
Broke down the altar perfen with My mind,
And (~en l\Iy ~romife I did make 10 he,
Th,t He ,he bird. I in hi. houfe would be:
But mark how foon this cage was infiant broke
When ,II My honour he h,d quite forgot:
Then fure from,.Eli I did fly ,way,
And brought hi. f.. ,1 ruin in oue dayAnd ,II My Bible you will fee the fame;
And like the bird. you'll find My every n'me.
So, lik.e the birch, with hovering wings, I'm come.

For Satan always ~nds an artful way
To work in man, their judgment to betray;
And fo My jewel; lhey were fpolled .bere,
As wrong the judgment did in roan appearj
Becaufe tnat Satan works an artful way: ,
From his difputes fee how his footReps lay.
I tell)'ou all his foo.Reps do appear,

And out his foot Reps man could never find,
Had 1 not let him come and tell his mind,

What arguments with Ulankind he hath us'd,
And fo he \'Iork'd upon the flubborn Jew.,
That from his judgment they \'Iould ne\'er turn:
The arguments feem'd right he liS'd with them;
Becaufe his influence o'er their minds appear'd,
:More nrong in man than in his words fpoke there.
And now, I tell thee, it was thy difpute
Tha. broke his legs, and turn'd benea.h My fOOl:
Becaufe ::. faid if thou in faith ftood Qout,

For I would conquer, and for thee appear,
And fa the vilion I have lhew'd thee here,

And fo the vilion does in all agree.
So if the learned men c.an this confound,
I tell thee plain, from Hell mull come tbe found;
And Satan {\:rang in man mun now appear.

For no fuch judgment can e'er be in man,
Unlefs the Devil nrong in them does come.
For when the whole together we compare,

Nor yel by man fo clearly undrrRood,
And plain My Bible doth lhe whole make good:

and the appearance of fire kindling on or in his breaJl.
Over his hand. at a dillance hefore him, was an Angel
with a cup in his left hand, pointing upwards with his
right hand. Over the angel's head was the fun, with
the figure of a man's head; one large ray' of light
from which pa{fcd through the glafs, held by the angel to the breall of the man, which appeared to kin.

" Come finner get thy pencil; mingle thy richefr colours; paint thy whore with all her decorations.
On the other fide I will draw a grove. and a linner
kneeling down. who IS ready to refolve with the publican in the gofpel-" God he mercifUl to me ajinner 1"
On the other fide a view of Heav5n, and Grace and
Mercy defcending down, in the form of an angel."
Two days after, when Jofeph was drawing the

mouth, appeared as if flying to the kneeling finner.

For DOW to man I bold will come,
And lei them anfwcr here,
If rucb a thing wu ever done,
To make My Cofpel plain;
And now I'am come 10 make it true
And all /hall know the end,

And fan: i, !hall appear:
But now If England will awake

With all hIS boalled pride:
If Eagland will awalt.en bcreYou know what name's applied,

With all Senaatharib's holl .

That you do flV' !or Satan's de'aLh,

I lell you plain, )'e fcns of men.
Th. mytleTY there-goes d.ep;
And if you wifb him for to reign,
And have his power to break
Upon your land, as now it Rand!,
He will dellroy yOll all
That now do willi for Satan's reign;

And they !hall make the foe to fall,
If c'er he ventures there
Where they are call'd; I ,ell you all

But I muO know them by tbeir names,
Or this could nevcr be.
For now I tell thee, there is a myRery in the fealed
number. and the fealed people, that no man knoweth. But what thou knoweR not now, thou wilt
know hereafler. So take with thee every lill., FOR
EN os lhou wilt know hereafter.
No more than thou
kneweR the manner the people would be fealed, wh~n
I laid thee to feal up the king, and half the nation,
in 1794, no more doft thou know the n:'yllery of their
being fealed, and of their names bemg gIven unto
thee. Neither do ye know what IS haRenmg on :
But thou {halt be warned when dangers are near;
and all the fialed people {hall be warned. Bur this I
!hall explain more fully another time.
