J77.1;   E232|        I stood among my valleys of the south
J77.2;   E232|        And saw a flame of fire, even as a Wheel
J77.3;   E232|        Of fire surrounding all the heavens: it went
J77.4;   E232|        From west to cast against the current of
J77.5;   E232|        Creation and devourd all things in its loud
J77.6;   E232|        Fury & thundering course round heaven & earth
J77.7;   E232|        By it the Sun was rolld into an orb:
J77.8;   E232|        By it the Moon faded into a globe,

 
J77.9;   E232|        Travelling thro the night: for from its dire
J77.10; E232|        And restless fury, Man himself shrunk up
J77.11; E232|        Into a little root a fathom long.
J77.12; E232|        And I asked a Watcher & a Holy-One
J77.13; E232|        Its Name? he answerd. It is the Wheel of Religion
J77.14; E232|        I wept & said. Is this the law of Jesus
J77.15; E232|        This terrible devouring sword turning every way
J77.16; E232|        He answerd; Jesus died because he strove
J77.17; E232|        Against the current of this Wheel: its Name
J77.18; E232|        Is Caiaphas, the dark Preacher of Death
J77.19; E232|        Of sin, of sorrow, & of punishment;
J77.20; E232|        Opposing Nature! It is Natural Religion
J77.21; E232|        But Jesus is the bright Preacher of Life
J77.22; E232|        Creating Nature from this fiery Law,
J77.22; E232|        By self-denial & forgiveness of Sin.

 
J77.23; E233|        Go therefore, cast out devils in Christs name
J77.24; E233|        Heal thou the sick of spiritual disease
J77.25; E233|        Pity the evil, for thou art not sent
J77.26; E233|        To smite with terror & with punishments
J77.27; E233|        Those that are sick, like the Pharisees
J77.28; E233|        Crucifying &,encompassing sea & land
J77.29; E233|        For proselytes to tyranny & wrath,
J77.30; E233|        But to the Publicans & Harlots go!
J77.31; E233|        Teach them True Happiness, but let no curse
J77.32; E233|        Go forth out of thy mouth to blight their peace
J77.33; E233|        For Hell is opend to heaven; thine eyes beheld
J77.34; E233|        The dungeons burst & the Prisoners set free.
