And hereby I teach you that those afflictions which you suffer in soul either for your offences towards God or for the imperfections of your mindes being void of brotherly charity toward your neighbours And so from you generally hereafter how great or how many soever ought not to be manifested or made open to the world but perfectly shadowed in Charity bearing your own infirmities and so the infirmity of others with quiet and hidden minde For the anguish of the soul is compared with prayer dwelling in one house which ought to laugh with the World and to weep towards heaven For every sin is noted and the least thing as well amongst the Celestial bodies as the Terrestiall is perfectly considered of For sin hath his end and his end is punishment And so contrarywise of Vertue Wisdom in the one and twentieth Ent ... ie or L ... His ground is upon mildnesse which mildnesse purifieth the body and exalteth the soul making it apt and ready to behold the heavens receive glorious illuminations and finally bringeth in the soul to participate with us not earthly but everlasting wisdom The Son of God was sanctified in his flesh through mildnesse and was not of this world because he was the mildnesse of his Father Therefore be you meek Be fervent in meeknesse Then shall you take up that Crosse which Christ spoke of following him which Crosse is the Compassion in mildnesse over thy brethren for sin sake Not as worldlings do looking but not lamenting The other part is in suffering mildly the afflictions of the world and flesh Hereby you become Martyrs for that you mortifie your selves which is true Martyrdom He that forsaketh the world for the love of God in his Son Christ shall have his reward But he that forsaketh himself shall be Crowned with a Diadem of Glory Thus saith the Lord I am jealous over you because you have vowed your selves unto me But great are the temptations of the flesh and mighty is his strength where the spirit is weak But thus saith God It is better to fill up the Soul with heavenly contemplation and coelestical food to reign in heaven and to be beloved of him Then to pamper the filthy flesh whose delight destroyeth both body and Soul It is written He that bridleth not his flesh is given to riotousnesse which is the sleep of death and the slumber to destruction But this is true abstinence when contemning the world you fly the delight therein refraining from pleasures of the body Temperating the flesh and making it weak and that for the Lord his sake For the flesh and spirit rejoyce not at once Neither can the full belly grone out true prayers Feed therefore the Soul with the love of our society And bridle your flesh For it is insolent One thing I say look to your servants See that in one house there dwell not delighters in vertue and holinesse mingled with such as harbour vice upon vice Whose drunkennesse is abomination and whose diet stirreth up fornication For wickednesse is amongst them and they fear not God neither do they abstain according as the holy Ghost by his Church hath taught Make them clean Then shall you feel our presence amongst you And we will all of us defend you from the rage of wickednesse We delight in the God of truth and in the worshippers of Justice Thus sayeth the holy Ghost Lo I have made me a Tabernacle where the God of Gods reigneth in Justice And I will sanctifie those places which rejoyce in charity Mingle therefore your Alms with charity And let your prayers and fasting be mingled with Alms deeds For he that prayeth and fasteth without mercy is a lyar Moreover let your friendship 〈◊〉 such as is of charity and not of this world Neither for the worlds sake but for the service of God All friendship else is vain and of no account Charity is the gift 〈◊〉 the Holy 〈◊〉 which Holy 〈◊〉 is a kindling fire knitting things together through Christ Jesus in the true wisdom of the Father Which fire is of no small account neither to be reckoned of as the Heathens have done For happy are those which are fed with charity For it is the meat of us that are anointed which is the son of God and the light of the world Δ Is charity the son of God Gab. ..... It is so He that walketh in charity walketh in God for charity is the will of the father is his own delight and illumination of the faithfull through his Holy Spirit The charity of the Church is the Holy Ghost But he that dwelleth in charity dwelleth in the bloud of the Lamb which is the will of the father which is the Holy Ghost Blessed are those that dwell in charity Persevere to the end Not negligently but with good will which good will is called fear Which 〈◊〉 is the beginning of wisdom the first step into rest He that continueth to the end receiveth his reward But he that leaveth off is a damned Soul Many men begin but few end Neither is your justification by the beginning but from the end Paul was justified Because he died the servant of God and not for his preaching sake He that 〈◊〉 to the end is the Childe of God inheriter of everlasting life and equal with joy himself Not the joy of joyes but that joy which God hath made equal with the joyes of his son Christ in the company of the faithfull Even in this place many persons had conspired against you But the strength of God hath sealed them And they shall not be unpunished For the Angel of the Town is sealed and his seal is to destruction Thrice cursed are those which dwell within his government But you are safe and shall be safely delivered from them In England They condemne thy doings and say Thou art a Renegade For they say Thou hast despised

Even as spiritual and dignified illuminations from ascension and by descending work the will of God determined in all Creatures diversly according to the measured purpose of the Highest in dispersing his will upon and into every one particularly whereby some become wise one in this another in that degree other some mighty in works whereby health and help comfort and joy is given to the faithful Even so ascending doth Hell infect sometime with error and sometime with infirmities So that from Heaven springeth health from below infirmities of body and soul. Whereby we find two immediate powers bringing forth two properties The one Comfort with Joy The other Infection with sorrow But this may be objected Hath it not been seen that the wicked cure diseases and restore health Whatsoever is of death is sorrow which is the ground of spiritual and bodily infection so that evil cannot work good How can it therefore be that the dead revive or restore health The cure therefore of all spiritual infection I mean the infections of such as are spiritual is in respect of his weaknesse and not of his strength Because Satan infecting may become weak whereby he cannot prevail and so give health by reason of weaknesse Otherwise with power bringing death all manner of wayes Δ.

But I say give ear unto my words For I will sift the dust and finde out the Pearle that of a long time hath lyen trodden under the feet I will come again E. K. He is gone Δ. We read over the premisses and so expected the rest E. K. He is again here Uriel ..... Now let us joyn these things together All flesh offendeth and is a lyar Who therefore shall be saved or escape eternal damnation He it is I sa that when he hath lyed and spoken against the truth doth not frowardly drown'd and keep down his sin in silence For lying meriteth the vengeance of the Trinity But he that is wilfully froward sealeth up his own damnation For this cause my brethre and to the intent that the mercies of God might alwayes be ready for sinners hath he provided the light and comfort of his spirit left as a continual workman in the Church and spouse of Christ. I teach you briefly that he whosoever opening his mouth against the spirit of truth and with wilfull frowardnesse continueth in his lying without reconciliation to the Church sinneth against the holy Ghost and shall be damned eternally I come again E. K. He is gone E. K. He is here again Uriel ..... Be now therefore admonished I say be warned And considering you be sinners acknowledge your offences least in the end your sin be against the holy Ghost and so not to be forgiven But herein they erre with you that expound the Scriptures saying that man sinneth and cannot be forgiven because he sinneth against the holy Ghost I teach you my brethren that there is no sin against God but it is against the holy Ghost If so be in the end it be shut up with wilfull silence Whensoever therefore you have offended acknowledge I say your sins before God and his Angels That God may forgive you and the Angels bear witnesse of your forgivenesse and shut not up your sins in froward silence If thou commit adultry if thou blaspheme the name of God if thou be a lyar yea if thou speak against the truth yea if thou say there is no God as the foolish do Despair not saying I have sinned against the holy Ghost because I am a sinner and a blasphemer of the name of God because I have spoken and opened my mouth against the spirit of truth But go unto the Church which is governed by the spirit of God and there with hearty and open confession disclose and make plain thy offences that the holy Ghost may bear witnesse in the spouse and Church of Christ That thou hast not sinned against him to eternal death Because thou art not drowned in froward silence For although God bear witnesse of repentance Although he hear and open his ears yet consider also he hath hands and must untye those bonds wherewith you are bound What are the hands of God but his spirit wherewith he maketh and created all things Therefore when thou hast cried out and art sorry endeavour thy self also to be lifted up by the hands of God Learn a similitude in Christ which signifying the power of his Church commanded the offender to go and wash himself and so he was whole I speak this for thy E.K. instruction I say also unto thee E.K. Go and wash thy self For thou art a lyar thou art a drunkard And therefore thou art a sinner And if thou persevere and shadow thy sins with wilfull silence frowardly then sealest thou thy self with the second brand and canst not be forgiven because thou sinnest against the Ghost Ananias fell down at the feet of Peter not onely for that he lyed but because after his offence he was wilfully silent Here thou mayest consider the greatnesse of God his mysteries and secrets of his will and of favour that he stretcheth out unto thee in mercy for thou art a Childe and must ascend and must become a man The rest after you are refreshed Δ.

Lo Lo Lo I sa which of you hath an eye that seeth not no the world the vanity and folly of worldlings and such as are choked with the mildew of vanity and worldly promotion For thus sayeth the Lord wherein could I shew my self more either unto this age or unto this Emperour then with rebuking him for his sins from Heaven Who is able to promise more or to perform assureder then I which lighten and make all things Yet they believe not 〈◊〉 they rejoyce in their own folly and despise me yea because they despise thee whom I have sent with my word unto them Δ. Is despised of Rud and Curtz E. K. Well thus sayeth the Lord they have despised their own Garlands and have trodden their food under feet They have rent their Robes in pieces and have cast them into the waves They are become masterlisse Dogs for I have forsaken them And lo Rodolph I will scatter thy bones and thy head shall be devided in many pieces I will bring in thy enemies over all thy Kingdoms and for thy sake shall many thousands perish He also that thinketh himself wise if he dye a natural death then say I am not neither that I live with my people But because thou hast done that which I commanded thee and hast not forgot my name Lo I will plant thee my self and thou shalt grow and out of thee shall spring a mighty and a terrible sword whose Hilts shall be as the Carbuncle and edge like unto the sting of a Dragon and I will not suffer thee to fall neither shall thine enemies ride upon thee Truely truely thou shalt know I am with thee But be patient for Satan hunteth hard after thee Thou shalt have alwayes a * prick even unto thy last grave But therein shall thy faith be exalted and thy reward great ..... I come again E. K. He is gone E. K. Here he is again Uriel ..... Lo for thy labour I will reward thee And so it shall be Behold I had determined to have rooted out the English people to have made a wildernesse and desart of it to have filled it with many strange people and to have tied the sword to it perpetually Δ. This is no contradiction for thus this wildernesse and filling is to be understood But Δ. The filling of it with strangers should have been for the conquest and in a manner razing or defacing of all Cities Towns and Castles and so to have brought it to a wildernesse and desart But Lo I will give thee that land onely for thy sake it shall not
former accounted friends might shew themselves to the boy as Madimi Il 〈◊〉 and chiefly Vriel because as he was first which appeared to the joyning of E. K. and me together so he might be also the Director in the translating of E. K. his office to Arthur Then said he I marvel if you had no apparition here for I somewhat thinking of Arthur and his proceeding in the 〈◊〉 of skrying came here into the gallery and I heard you pray and opening the window I looked out and I saw a great number going in and out of this Chappel at the little hole in the glass window I saw Madimi Il and many other that had dealed with us heretofore but shewed themselves in very filthy order and Vriel appeared and 〈◊〉 all to be of God and good And therefore I wonder if here you have no shew perhaps there is somewhat but Arthur seeth it not Δ. True it is and how should I help him herein seeing I cannot yet see or skry E. K. I will come and see if there be any thing Δ. I pray you do Note and so E. K. looked towards the stone and he by and by said Here appeareth somewhat and pointed to Arthur where and asked him if he saw any thing and he said No. Then said E. K. I see like a white Marble square table or book lying on a wooden desk Δ. I pray you Sir take the pains to look and discern what is here shewed E. K. I see written upon that book Beata quae per peccatum mihi domum corruentem hominibus integram reddit E. K. Now a leaf of that book is turned open and there is written on it but I cannot reade it yet Now I see it Ego sum qui dedi daturus sum vobis legem ex qua mortalibus perpetua requies felicitas sit ventura E. K. Now another leaf is turned over and appeareth written Estote ergo tales quales me meosque decet rati coram me ambulate E. K. Now turneth over the leaf of it self Ne populus esuriens suiens negligentia obstinatia vestra vel ruat vel saltem E. K. Now the leaf turneth Pro tempore alimento careat E. K. Now the desk and book or table is gone Δ. Note By and by after while E. K. did look into the stone he said E. K. I see a hand appear a very great one white with the fingers spred abroad E. K. The hand is gone but there remaineth writing Videbitis audietis brevi omnes Si interim E. K. It is as if it were upon the side of a white Globe afar off The Globe turneth so swiftly that I cannot well read it Animi ad meliora compoti E. K. The Globe turneth so swiftly that I cannot read it till it stand still Sese mihi meis E. K. Now again the Globe is turned most swiftly Filiorum more subjicient Si vero per meipsum loquor jure alieni vagabundi alias vobismet ipsis disimperitis non oculo sed corpori immo omnibus membris casus ruina paratur Quales enim in futuro eritis vobis ut scivetis nullo modo licet Majora enim à superis mortalibus prae foribus sunt quotidieque instant quam vel primo vel secundo etatis modulo fuerunt Qui aures erigat Cui intellectus sapiat Omnia peccata apud me postponuntur huic insaniens propter me sapiat Immo adulterizans propter me in sempiternum benedicetur premio afficietur celesti E. K. Now the Globe is gone Δ. Gloria Patri Filio Spiritui sancto erat in principio nunc semper in secula seculorum Amen So we left off Trebonae Actionis Tertiae altera pars Preces ad Deum Omnipotentem pro sua veritate nobis impartienda ad nominis suo laudem honorem gloriam Δ. Note Arthur was set to the stone but nothing appeared E. K. had brought the powder with him as he was bidden to do Then I desired him to apply himself to see as he was wont And so he did E. K. Here appear all in the stone that appeared yesterday unto me in the air in that most disorderly and filthy manner They are in the like apparel as yesterday Δ. O God confirm us in thy truth sor thine own honour and glory and suffer us not to be overcome with any temptation but deliver us from all evil now and ever E. K. There appeared Madimi Il. and the rest And so they are here but now all the rest are gone and onely Madimi remaineth Madimi openeth all her apparel and her self all naked and sheweth her shame also E. K. Fie on thee Devil avoid hence with this filthiness c. Mad. In the Name of God why finde you fault with mee Δ. Because your yesterdayes doings and words are provocations to fin and unmeet for any godly creature to use Mad. What is sin Δ. To break the Commandement of God Mad. Set that down so Mad. If the self-same God give you a new Commandement taking away the former form of sin which he limited by the Law What remaineth then Δ. If by the self-same God that gave the Law to Moses and gave his New Covenant by Christ who sealed it by his blood and had his witnesses very many and his Apostles instructed by his holy Spirit who admonished us of all cleanness in words and works yea and in thoughts if by the same God hose former Laws and Doctrines be abrogated and that sufficient proof and testimony may be had that it is the same God Then must the same God be obeyed For only God is the Lord of Lords King of Kings and Governour of all things E K She kneeleth and holdeth up her hands Mad. The Laws of God and of his Son Christ stablished by the testimony of his Disciples and Congregation and by the force and power of his holy Spirit are not in any particular vocation abrogated but rather confirmed For 〈◊〉 it falleth out that God being offended at the wickedness of any man or of some man private sendeth down his Spirit of Death infecting and tempting another mans minde so that he 〈◊〉 void of Reason and riseth up against him whom God is offended with and striketh him so that he dyeth This before man is accounted sin before God it shall be imputed unto him for righteousness Even so whatsoever the Spirit of God teacheth us from him though it appear sin before man is righteousness before him Therefore assure your selves that whatsoever is seen and heard amongst you is from above and is a sign and 〈◊〉 even this day before you for I that touched thy Son might also have taken away his breath But O you are of little understanding But behold I teach you That unto those that are accounted righteous through the good will of God sin is justly punished but not as unto the wicked For
