:ns tried in their lifetime. q purified geld
- sealed by the spirit Of promise, to life,
/ BY men called of God, a. was Aaron Of old
a. They are they the Church. of the first born Of God
And unto whose hands he commteth all things;
For they hold the Keys of the kingdom OF heaven,
And reign with the Savior, priests and as kings
a. They're priests of the order of Melchsedek,
| Lke Jesus, from whom is this highest reward)
Receiving fullness Of glory and light
As written They're Gods-even sens Of the LORD
a. SO all things theirs; yea, Of life, of DEATH
Yea, whether things now or to come all are theirs,
And they are the Saviors and he is the Lords,
Having overcome ALL az eterniy's heirs
AZ. IT'S wisdom that man never glory in man,
But give God the glory for all \ that he hath
While the wicked trod under foot in his wrath.
49, YEA the righteous shall dwell in the presence of
And Of Jesus. forever, from sarth.s second birth
For when he comes down in the splendor Of heaven,
All these he'll bring with him, to reign on the earth
49, These are they that arise in their bodies of Aesh
When thetrump ofthe first resurrection shall sound
These are they that come up to Mount Zion in liie
Where the blessings and gifts OF the spirit abound
These they that have to the heavenly place
To the numberless courses of angels above;
1 To the city of God cen the hottest Of ell,
And the home Of the blessed, the fountain of love:
81. To the church of old Enoch and of the first born
| And gen'ral assembly of ancient renownd,
Whose names are all kept in the archives of heavn,
| As chosen and faithful and fit to be crownd.
So These they thatare perfect through Jesus own
| blood,
| Whose bodies celestial are mentioned by Paul,
Where the sun is the typical glory thereof
And God, and his Christ. are the true Judge Of all
49, Again beheld the terrestrial world,
! In the order and glory Of Jesus, 60 on,
| Twas not as the church Of the first born Of God,
But shone in its place. as the moon to to the SUM-
54 Behold, these are they that have died without laws
iThe heather OF ages, that never had hope,
And those OF the region and shadow OF death,
The spirits in prison, that light has brought up.
S. To spirits in prison the Savior once preachd,
And taught them the gospel with powers afresh
And then were the living bapsd for their dead,
| That they might be judg'd as if men in the flesh.
S. These they that hon'rable Of the earth
Who were blinded and dupd by the cunning of men
| They recevd not the truth Of the Savior at first
But did, when they heard it in prison, again.
ST. Not valiant for truth, they obtaind not the crown,
They they, that into the presence of Christ
But not 10 the fulness of God on his throne
| &c. Again beheld the celestial, as third
The lesser, or starry world, next in its place,
For the leaven must leaven three measures Of meal
And every knee bow that is subject to grace.
o. These they that receivd not the gospel Of Christ
Or evidence, either. that he ever was;
A: the stars are ell dif'rent in glory and light
So differs the glory of these by the laws.
CO. These they that deny not the spirit of God,
But are thrust down to hell with the devil, for sins,
| AZ by pocres, liars whoremongers and thieves,
And stay till the last resurrection begins
el Till the Lamb shall have nshd the work he begun
Shall have tr0dden the wine press, in fury alone,
And overcome all by the powr of his might:
He conquers to conquer, and save all his own.
g. These they that receive not funess of light,
From Christ. in eternitys world. where they are,
Theterrestral sends them the Comforter, though
And minstring angels to happily there
| os. And so the celestial is minister'd to-
By ministers from the teri estrial one,
As terrestrial is, from the celestial throne;
And the greater. greatest and
81. And thus bsheld. in the vision of heavn,
The celestial glory, dominion and bliss,
Surprising the great understanding Of men,
Unknown, save reveal'd, in q world vain as this.
IS. And 10, beheld the terrestrial too,
Which excels the celestial in glory and light
In splendor, and knowledge, and wisdom, and JOY,
IS. Ibeheld the celestial in glory sublime,
Which is the most excellent kingdom that is
Where God, cen the Father, in harmony regns,
Almighty, supreme, and eternal, in bliss
Where the church of the first in union reside
And they see as seen and they know as they
Being equal in power, dominion and might,
With fitness OF glory and grace round his throne
| 6S. The glory celestial is one like the sun;
The glsry tsrrestrl is like the moon,
| The glory celestial is one like the stars,
And all harmonise like the parts of tune.
SO. As the stars all different in ustre and size
So the celestial region is mingled in bliss
From least unto greatest, and greatest to least,
The reward is exactly as promised in this
TO- These they that out for Apollos and Paul
For Cephas and Jesus in all kinds Of hope;
For Enoch, and Moses, and Peter, and John
For Luther, and Calvin, and even the Pope.
H. For they never received the & ,spel Of Christ,
Nor the prophetic spirit that came from the Lord;
Nor the covenant neither, which Jacob once had {;
They went their own way and they have their reward
a. BY the order ofGod, last of all, these they,
That will not be gather'd with saints here below,
To be caught up to Jesus. and meet in the cloud
In darkness they worshppu to darkness they 60.
70 These they that sinful, the wicked large
That glutted their passion by meanncss or worth;
All liars, adulerers, sorcrers and proud
And suffer, promised, Gods wrath on the earth
IA These they that suffer the of hell
Till Christ shall have trodden all enemies down,
And perfected his work, in the fulness oftmes:
And is crownd his throne with his glorious crown
-. The vast multitude of the celestial world
As the stars Of the Skies the sands of the sea
The voice of Jehovah echod far and wide,
Evry tongue shall confess and they all bow the knee.
rs. Ev'ry shall be udgd by the works of his life,
And receive a reward in the mansions prepaid
For hi:judgments are just and his works never end
As his prophets and serv ants have always declard.
IT, But the great things of God which he showd unto
Unlawful to utter, dare not declare
They surpass all the wisdom and greatness OF men,
Andonly are seen, as has Paul, where they arc
7s l will 20, will 70, while the secret of life.
Is blooming in heaven, and blasting in hell
Ia leaving earth, and budding in space -
Iwillgo Twill 60, with you. brother; farewell.
