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

Jane Lead preaches about the importance of weighing ourselves with the
Golden Weight or Shekel of the Sanctuary, emphasizing that anything
short of that divine standard will be unacceptable to the just One who
holds the Balance of Perfection. She urges believers to daily add
'Golden Grains' to achieve an equal proportion to the Golden Shekel,
symbolizing the weight of our spirits. By aligning ourselves with this
divine rule, we bear the inscription of Jesus and His power, becoming
vessels for His presence and glory.

This Word as soon as I awaked in the Morning spoke in me: Diverse
Weights and a false Balance is an Abomination unto the Lord. Which word
opened it self thus unto me, that we were to consider here-from, by what
Weight we had weighed our selves, and also the Rule we had measured our
selves by. If not by the Golden Weight or Shekel of the Sanctuary, we
should be found too light. For that was the Coin that would only pass
currant in that Heavenly Country for exchange.

For while we measure our selves, by any thing short of that full Golden
weight, it would be excepted against by that just One, who holds the
Balance of Perfection in his Hand.

Therefore upon trial, we must daily see, what Golden Grains must be
further added, that so there may be an all equal proportion to the
Golden Shekel, that is put in the Scale, to prove the weight of our
Spirits by. Which being found according to the divine rule, then the
inscription of the mighty Caesar will be impressed upon us, by which
Tribute shall be paid from all Nations, as not only bearing the Title,
but the power and presence of our Lord, and great King Jesus.

This was the interpretation, the Spirit gave from that Word unto me,
with a charge, that we should have serious regard unto the teaching
hereof.
