N a dream, being ſtanding as I thought, upon to braes of Ayr, I went to a little height near the tow and looking about to the city, l obſerved two coaches all black, going up the river ſide towards the ſouth, ſuch quick motion, as if they had not touched the ground and as I looked after them, there came one to me, and aſked me, What I looked upon? I anſwered, two coaches, the which I never ſaw the blacker: He ſaid, I will tell thee what theſe are, it is the devils going to coming together to go to Rome to make the Pope to ſend Antichrist to Scotland, to bring on a ſtroke and get a fatal fall.

2. At another time I apprehended a great light, and the light I ſaw before me in large letters, the Lord is about to plead a controverſy with S, E, an I, for a deſpiſed and ſighted Goſpel.

3. At another time, being awake, but being incapable to know where I was. I apprehended by a viſion of light that I was in the open fields ſitting by the highway ſideand ſaw a company of men walking by each, and every one of them had in their right hand a large bloody napkin hanging down, upon which I perceived large letters; aſked the meaning of that which! ſaw upon the content of the napkin; It was anſwered, it was the names of the twelve apoſtles of the Lamb. And looking after them, ſaw them come to the gates of the city, and as they entered in, each one took a bloody clout out of his pocket, and then threw it down at the threſhold of the door, with which they wiped their feet as they went in; then I aſked, what meaned the clouts? It was anſwered, it was the cuſtom in noblemens' houſes to have old caſt clouts baid down at their doors to wipe their feet as they came in: for no unclean thing ſhall enter into the new Jeruſalem, and then, looking in at the gates of the city, I perceived a greater number of people in a large room than I can express, having every one of them a bloody napkin in their hands.
