guarded day and night against false spirits. She recalls a vision of a

When I came out of my Natural rest, and had recovered my Spiritual
Sense, this Word came to me, Did ye know, or were able to comprehend
that only Jewel, which is lodged within the deep of a pure Heart, ye
would it watch Day and Night: to prevent all false Spirits that would it
betray; though too heavy it is for them to take away.

Upon this Word, it was brought to my remembrance, that I did see in the
Night, a Stone: the fashion of it was like a Thunder-bolt, but it was
clear, and of a Ruby and Purple Colour: and it was shot down, as out of
the AEthereal Heavens, and immediately caught up thither again.

This was interpreted to be the Jewel, that doth lie in the Pure and
Heavenly Heart, against which there is such a continual Conspiracy,
because it is that Stone, that will smite the Image of the Beast so
down, as no more to rise.
