DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jane Lead preaches about the renewal and transformation of the new
Creature, emphasizing the need for a Holy Tent to be erected for the new
Creature to manifest its threefold spirituality extracted from the
Deity. She discusses the high dignified Body that our Lord Jesus put on
from the Divine Essentiality, praying for the Glory He had with the
Father before the World was. Jane Lead delves into the concept of a Body
and Spirit merging into one intire activity in the Ghostly might, making
the Body as penetrating as the Spirit, leading to a multiplication of
Life-Figures of Glory.

CONTENT

THE Word thus sprung: As the Lord thy God hath quickened and
strengthened his own Life-Birth, to make it a Prophet and Seer deep, so
a meet Tabernacle must be renewed for it: That a true Witness may rise
to testifie that, which hath been as a Sealed Book; So that he that runs
may read, what will be Engraven upon the fore front of the new Creature.
For a Holy Tent is to be erected for the new Creature, all Glorious
throughout; because it is to be of a threefold Spirituality, extracted
from the Deity.

A Body must be whose matter is of such a composition, as the Root and
Ground of the Spirit, that is from Eternity, that had its Pre-existency
in the Abyssal Deep, before Nature was Figur'd forth in Paradise. So
that there is a more high dignified Body, which our Lord Jesus hath now
put on from the Divine Essentiality: which was what the Lord had, before
he came to take up our humane Form. For he prays for the Glory, that he
had with the Father before the World was, as a distinct Person.

Who having this reassumed as a Light-generating Body will henceforth
multiply into Life-Figures of Glory, that shall every way Equalize the
original Matter, from which Spirits have their Existencies. The
distinction of Body and Spirit shall cease. For there shall be but one
intire activity in the Ghostly might, that will make the Body as
penetrating as the Spirit. This and much more was opened and revealed
from the Transparent Child-like stature, that appeared in such a swift
Circling-motion unto me in the Vision, which brought this Mystery to
light.
