The Signature of All Things — trans. John Ellistone (1651)

39. Therefore, O thou dear Christendom, behold thyself, whether thou workest in the Working Word of God in his Will, or whether thou standest only in the Form of Christendom, and Workest thy own Self-fulness in Falsehood: Thou wilt find, how thou art become an Abomination before the Most High, and thy casting forth from the Most High out of this Form (which thou in thy Self-hood hast introduced into his expressed Form) shall presently follow; and that because thou coverest thyself with the true Form, and art a false Child therein: Therefore thou art sought, and found with a false Veil [or Covering] in thy own Form.

40. And as thou hast brought thyself into a false self-ful Form under the true Form, so thou shalt also destroy thyself, whereto the Heaven helps thee, which thou hast a long Time served in Obedience, and from this there is no withholding; thy Work is found to be in the Turba, which shall well satisfy and satiate itself in destroying, as thou hast built up thyself in thy apostate Falsehood in thy own Form under the Name of the true Form, and hast played the Hypocrite before God with the shew and Ostentation of Holiness, and only served the earthly Man: But the Servant of the Lord shall be sought and found; the Lord feeds his Lambs in his own Form, and brings them into his Pasture; all the haughty and wealthy of the World shall find by Experience what Judgement the Lord will bring upon the Face of all the Earth, and all wicked Hope shall be destroyed; for the Day of the Harvest draws near: A Terror from the Lord shaketh the Earth, and his Voice soundeth in all the Ends of the Earth; and the Star of his Wonders arises, no one hinders it, for it is concluded of in the Counsel of the Watchmen in the Gates of the Deep.

41. Therefore let every one seek and find himself; for the Time of Visitation is at Hand, that he may be found in his Love; for the Turba has found all false Lust in it, and the Most High Worker of all Essences manifests the Turba; and then all false Lust or Imagination becomes manifest, and each Thing enters into its eternal Keeper, for all Things are generated out of Imagination: So also it shall receive its Property in the Imagination, and every Imagination reaps its own Work which it has wrought; for to that End all Things have appeared, that the Eternity Might be manifest in a Time: With Deeds of Wonder it brought itself into the Form of Time, and with Deeds of Wonder it carries itself forth again out of the Time into its first Place.

42. All Things enter again into that from whence they proceeded; but they keep their own Form and Model, as they have introduced themselves in the expressed Word; and everything shall also be received of its Likeness, and the End is always; and as all Things generate themselves in the expressed Word, so also they are signed in their inward Form, which also signs the Outward.

43. The self-ful Will makes a Form according to its innate Nature; but a Form is made in the resigned Will according to the Platform or model of Eternity, as it was known in the Glass of God's eternal Wisdom before the Times of this World; so the eternal Will figures and Forms it into a Model of its Likeness to the Honour and wonderful Acts of God; for all whatever goes on in its Self-hood, the same Forms itself; but what resigns itself freely, that is Formed of the free Will: Now no self-ful Form with its own Self-Will can inherit the only Eternal Being; for where there are two Wills in one, there is Enmity.

44. Seeing then God is one only God, then all whatever will live in him must be like his Will and Word: As a Concert of Music must be tuned into one Harmony, though there be many Strings, and manifold Voices and Sounds therein; so must the true human Harmony be tuned with all Voices into a Love Melody, and that Will-Spirit which is not tuned unto the only Concert in the divine Voice, the same is cast forth out of this Tune, and brought into its self-ful Tune, viz. into its true Fellow-Voices of its own Likeness; for every Likeness shall receive its own.

45. Has any been here an Evil Spirit? Then he shall be introduced into the Root of his Likeness; for every Hunger receives its like into itself; now the whole Manifestation of Eternity with this Time is Nothing else but an Hunger and Generation; as the Hunger is, so is also the Essence of its Satiating; for with the Hunger the Creature took its Beginning, and with the Hunger it enters into its eternal [Being].

46. In the Hunger the Spirit with the Body is generated, and in the same Hunger it goes into its eternal Being, unless it breaks its first Hunger, and brings itself into another by Mortification, else all is at its End as soon as it is born; but Death is the only means whereby the Spirit may enter into another Source and Form: If it dies to its Self-hood, and breaks its Will in Death, then a new Twig springs forth out of the same, but not according to the first Will, but according to the eternal Will; for if a Thing enters into its Nothing, then it falls again to the Creator, who makes that Thing as it was known in the eternal Will, before it was created to a Creature; there it is in the right Aim or Limit of Eternity, and has no Turba, for it is in Nature's End.
