The Omnipotent God be praised for evermore his holy Name be glorified Now John Dee I Raphael am n w come at Gods pleasure and at his commandment to speak with thee and make known unto thee as far forth as in my power lieth to speak God hath sent me to declare unto thee the cause of thy desire now at this time John Dee as thou art an earthly man if thou dost desire to have help from God of such things as earthly men cannot he without while they have time here in this mortal life thou desirest to have knowledge as concerning things hid the which I Raphael have no delight neither pleasure in speaking of any such earthly matter or earthly cases But my delight is in the Almighty and in his wisdome But notwithstanding at this request and thy inward desire in God to be certified of this treasure the which these two men whom thou knowest do speak of they ever had a time appointed of God for it and it was not used accordingly as they should have done Now this second time because you have a desire to have help and knowledge at the hands of the Almighty I Raphael do command thee and those men whom thou knowest that they shall not intermeddle or to take it in hand before the tenth day of January be past f r if they do they shall not prevail for that is a time that God hath best appointed for the said purpose and for the quiet enjoying of it so when that day is past then let them in the name of God enter into that 〈◊〉 And if they will be such men as they ought for to be and as Gods will is that they should be to deal faithfully and truly one with the other in deed and in word God will then bless their good purpose and bring it to their head when they shall take in hand to open the earth God will presently at that instant then suffer their good purpose to take effect and the matter to be effected and had so that they shall not be put off if they shall heare or see any thing that they shall dislike but safely to stand in the hope and craving at Gods hand to have that good help to be a warrant between them and all hurt and danger whatsoever may behappen and so overcome I say If they will faithfully pray unto God with their whole trust in God God will bless their good success if they be otherwise then as good never stir and their good success will be against them So I Raphael have made kuown unto thee Gods purpose in this thy request For this I have said John Dee I Raphael did make known unto this desire of that secret and that great gift that gave unto thee in such order and manner as thou knowest where thou hidst it and that never as yet hadst the knowledge and the wisdome that God will give thee as concerning that and many mo such unto thee So this rare gift being taken away from thee by them thou knowest by taking thy key and so taking of it from thy keeping it was the will and purpose of God that I Raphael should give such ... that thou shouldest have knowledge ... of the same Thou shalt take such course .... thou mayest obtain it again and when thou hast it thou shalt put it into the same chest again and commit it into the custody and keeping of thy very friend John Pontoys and he shall and will deal faithfully and friendly with thee in keeping the same until such time as by that ... the which thou knowest is promised unto thee that thou shalt receive the perfect understanding of the hid knowledge and secrecie of God that is not as yet made known unto thee and ..... as hath been said so shalt thou have such wisdome delivered unto thee by me Raphael that shall come in such ... and order as hath been late made known unto thee for thy good in such short and speedy time to be performed and so thus much I have made known unto thee as God
to speak the truth phantastick which must make them the Obscurer I could give the Reader a view of them all here put together but it would be superfluous There be some fourteen or fifteen Divisions in all now remaining and so many Titles There is a Table at the beginning that doth refer to the beginning of every division where the Title also will be found But at the end of the viii Division I finde these words Sequitur liber 24. qui hac die etiam inceptus est à meridie horam circiter tertiam per ipsum Lavanael But I finde nothing following but some vacant sheets till we come to the ix Division Mysteriorum pragensium c. And the last Division hath onely some Fables and before them some five or six pages of unknown mystical words which we know not what to make of but of that more afterwards The main business to be resolved here as I take it is what it is that we have and what we have not so far as can be gathered by what remaineth we shall see what we can say to it In the year of the Lord One thousand five hundred eighty four September the third being a Monday Dr. Dee first appeared being presented by Honorable persons and expected before the Emperor Rodolph Among other things he then told him That for these two years and a half Gods holy Angels had used to inform him Our Book or first Action here beginneth 28 May 1583. According to this reckoning it must be that above a year and three Moneths before began the first Apparition The account then of fifteen Moneths from the first Apparition we want How much in bulk that might come to I cannot tell neither will I warrant all perfect from this 28 of May 1583 to the fourth of April 1587. though for the most part the coherence is right enough to that time But from thence to the twentieth of March 1607. is a vast chasma or hiatus of no less then twenty years How this hath happened I cannot tell certainly what I guess is this some years after Dr. Dees death Sir Robert Cotton bought his Library what then remained of it with his Magical Table of which afterwards and the Original Manuscript written With his own hand whereof this is a Copy The Book had been buried in the Earth how long years or moneths I know not but so long though it was carefully kept since yet it retained so much of the Earth that it began to moulder and perish some years ago which when Sir Thomas C. before mentioned observed he was at the charges to have it written out before it should be too late Now full fifty years or not many wanting being passed since this Original came to Sir Robert it is very likely that had any more in all that time been heard of Sir Robert or Sir Thomas his Son and Heir would have heard of it and got it as soon as any body else And because no more hath been heard of all this while it is more then probable that no more is extant not in England nor I think any where else Happily the rest might perish some part if not all even whilest the Doctor lived and we shall finde in this Relation That a good part of his holy Books were burned but which is more strange a great part of them by the help of Spirits recovered and restored Or it may be that since his death the rest the place where they lay being unknown might rot in the earth now if as probably no more be extant we may account this that we have here in that respect perfect because here is all that can be had But if any as it is the nature of many if not most rather to desire that which cannot be had then to content themselves with that which may shall much lament the loss of the rest and be less pleased with this because so much though indeed we know not certainly whether much or little is wanting I would desire them to consider with themselves in case there had been twice or thrice as much more as all this comes too what should have been done with it For my part for so much as is here set out all we had I thought it would do best though somewhat long yet as a thing very extraordinary and of great consequence to many good purposes and uses I thought I say it would do best to have it all Printed Yet we had some consideration about it and it may be some others would have thought that less might have served the turn But I hope more will be of my minde and there be but few actions but afford somewhat that is extraordinary and for some respect or other observable and useful Howsoever I am confident if all had been extant supposing that the rest would have made much more that none or very few would have thought fit to have 〈◊〉 all and if it had once come to a contraction or abridgement it may be much less then this must have served It is free for all men to think as they please for my part all things considered I finde no great want of the rest and if I were put to it I cannot tell whether I can say that I wish more were extant yet it 〈◊〉 great content and I hope there is no Blasphemy or Superstition in it if I 〈◊〉 it to providence that after that long intermission or hiatus we have yet the 〈◊〉 Actions of all whereby it might appear after many goodly shews and promises so much hope and expectation so many Prayers so many Thank 〈◊〉 and Humiliations what the end is of dealing with Divels and using means that are not lawful to compass ambirious unwarrantable desires Besides be 〈◊〉 more or less that is wanting yet I am confident we have the chiefest parts here preserved as part cularly an exact account of his addresses and dealings with the Emperor and other great men and Princes in the vii and some following Divisions and that sad story of their promiscuous Copulation under the perswasion of obedience to God very particularly related in the twelfth Division wherein as the cunning and malice of 〈◊〉 Spirits to lead away from God when they most pretend to God and godliness so the danger of affected singularity and 〈◊〉 the first ground of all this mischief of Spiritual pride and self conceir is eminently set out to every mans observation that is not already far engaged as in these times too to many in such Principles But yet nevertheless I must acknowledge that there is one part of the story wanting which I believe by most will be much desired For whereas at the very beginning mention is made of a Stone and that Stone not onely there ment oned but afterwards in every action almost and apparition throughout the whole Book to the very end still occurring and commemorated as a principal thing what it was and how he came by it yea and
what a miserable World should we have What man so sober or innocent that could enjoy himself at any time with any comfort or security But again what man can read this sad story and can be so perswaded of his own Wisdom or innocency but will in some degree reflect upon himself and will be moved to praise God that notwithstanding many provocations in several kindes as damnable curiosity open prophaneness frequent Oathes Curses Perjuries scandalous Life and the like God hath been pleased to protect and preserve him from the force and violence of such enemies of mankinde I said before from les beginnings greatest confusions had ensued which is very true as in the case of Bacchus particularly many Ages before and in the case of Mahomet afterwards two notable lewd Euthusiasts by whom as Instruments evil Spirits by Gods permission brought great alterations in Governments and wrought much mischief and 〈◊〉 among Men and Women we shall elsewhere shew more at large By due consideration of all Circumstances as chiefly their confident and reiterated Addresses unto and Attempts upon so many great men in Power and Authority and the like I am much of opinion that these Spirits had as great hopes of Dr. Dee as ever they had of Bacchus or Mahomet But God was not 〈◊〉 at that time to permit that their malice and subtilty should prevail And I think if we consider it well we have reason to 〈◊〉 God for it England might have been over-run with Anabaptism when I say Anabaptism I mean Anabaptism confirmed and in full power not as it appears in its first pretentions long before this God be thanked that it was not then and God keep it from it still I hope is the Prayer of all truly sober and Religious And in very deed I know no reason but the Wisdom and prudence of their Majesties Councel that then were in opposing Dr. Dees 〈◊〉 addresses and Sollicitations may under God challenge and 〈◊〉 some part of our Thanks and Acknowledgement Again The Divel we see can Pray and Preach as to outward appearance we mean for truly and really God forbid that any thing sacred and holy should be thought to proceed from Divels and talk of Sanctity and Mortification as well as the best And what he can in his own person or by himself immediately there is no question but he doth by his Ministers and Instruments much more more ordinarily and frequently I mean Let any man judge then whether it be the part of a sober wise man not onely to hear such men as can give no account of their calling but also to follow them to embrace their Doctrine to be of their number or Congregation and all this upon this account because they can pray and preach very well as they think and judge at least and talk very godlily and zealously How much more inexcusable they that will clave unto such though they see and know them scandalous in their Lives Proud Insolent Ignorant Seditious Intolerable because they can pray and preach and talk as best agreeth with their own humor and gives them best content Can any man think they follow God in this who would have all things done in order and is not a God of Confusion 1 Cor. 14. 33 40. when all they do tends to nothing else but disorder and confusion I confess it is possible that men lawfully called may prove bad enough we have divers examples in the Scripture But if a man simply and ignorantly be mis-led by such certainly his judgement will be much lighter then they can expect who will not use the means that God hath ordained in so great and weighty a business as the salvation of Souls is I know not what these men can say for themselves except it be that they are resolved to make use of the Liberty of the times to please their humor they may do it but if that bring them to Heaven they have good luck But the business of praying is that I would principally insist upon You see here how Dr. d ee where he gives an account of himself to the Emperor and others bears himself much upon this that so many years he had been an earnest Suitor unto God by Prayer to obtain Wisdom such wisdom as he was ambitious of I believe him that he had prayed very earnestly and with much importunity many times This was the thing that made him so confident of his Spirits that they must needs be good Spirits and Angels I know a man I have no comfort to tell it but that I would not conceal any thing that may be a warning unto others and yet I will have a respect unto him too But I knew one a very innocent man in his outward conversation and as I believe very really Humble Religious very Learned and Orthodox and one that had suffered for his Conscience as others have done in these times This worthy man being engaged in a controverted Argument upon which his phancy had wrought very much or rather which had much wrought upon his phancy he had written much filled much Paper and was desirous to communicate unto me as his friend what he had done But when I perceived that the drift of his writing was out of the Law and the Prophets to shew the necessity of some things which I thought of a more indifferent nature I was not willing to meddle with it and begun to argue against his main drift and to shew my disliking After many words to and fro he began to press me with this that he had often prayed with much earnestness and he was very confident that God had heard his Prayers Yea he proceeded so far that if God were true he could not be deceived and used many other words to the same purpose at which I was much amazed but could do no good upon him such was his confidence and violence upon this occasion though otherwise a very moderate ingenuous man And thus I found him more then once or twice Truly I think God was very merciful unto him that took him away in good time But certainly this business of Prayer and praising is a business as of great comfort the greatest that mortal man is capable of upon earth so of much more danger and delusion then many do believe And if caution and circumspection be to be used in any thing that belongs to Religion I think it ought in Prayer as much as any thing And since I have adventured to tell one story upon mine own credit I will tell one more upon better authority which I have long desired for the observableness of it to communicate unto the world and to that end had once inserted it in a Treatise of mine which I thought would have been Printed but it was not I will first give the English of it that all men may reap the benefit and then set it down in the words of my Author mine own Father Isaac Casaubon of b. m. as I have it to
unto him to hasten his second comming for his elects sake iniquity doth so on this earth abound and prevaile and true faith with Charity and Evangelicall simplicity have but cold slender and uncertrin intertainment among the worldly-wise men of this world Therefore herein concluding I beseech the Almighty God most abundantly to increase and confirm your Graces heavenly wisedome and endue you with all the rest of his heavenly gifts for the relieving refreshing and comforting both bodily and spiritually his little flock of the faithfull yet militant here on earth Amen An EPILOGUE Good my Lord I beseech Your Grace to allow of my plaine and comfortable Epilogus for this matter at this time 1. Seeing my studious exercises and conversation civill may be abundantly testified to my good credit in the most parts of all Christendome and that by all degrees of Nobility by all degrees of the Learned and by very many other of godly and Christian disposition for the space of 46. years triall as appeareth by the Records lately viewed by two honourable witnesses by Commission from her Majestie 2.

this Message the which will seem unto thee to be very hard yet as thou art the servant of God and one whom God doth favour and love although the world by wicked enemies doth hate thee willingly and obediently follow that course the which God in his mercies at this time shall make known unto thee Thou 〈◊〉 if thou wilt obey the commandment of God by me made known unto thee take a long journey in hand and go where thou shalt have all these great mercies of God performed unto thee and God will shew thee as great favour in the sight of God as ever he did shew unto Joseph who was sold into bondage as thou knowest and in all his 〈◊〉 and troubles 〈◊〉 was with him and delivered him So if thou wilt follow this commandment from 〈◊〉 delivered unto thee by me Raphael that thou shalt not doubt nor waver in thy mind but God will be merciful unto thee both in this life and in the life to come and think God will not command thee to take such a journy in hand but that he doth know that is best for thee and he will preserve thee and keep thee in thy journy And thou shalt find in thy journy that God shall and will deal 〈◊〉 with thee in finding ease of the infirmity of the stone that the Angels of God shall direct thee in thy heart and mind how thou shalt use thy body to the health and comfort of thy strength And when thou art at thy journies end amongst such friends beyond the seas as thou knowest God shall and will raise thee as faithful friends as now I have said before as Joseph had so shalt thou be favoured with God and man for it is the will and purpose of God to have thee to be obedient unto this the which I do make known unto thee because thou shouldst not remain here to be beholding unto those that are thy mortal enemies and had rather to hear of thy end than otherwise to hear of thy well-doing or any good to be done unto thee by any man it is a grief and a spight in head and mind unto them that thou shouldst come to any help or things necessary for mans use here upon earth the which man cannot be without And John Dee I am to command thee that so shortly as thou canst by all means possible set thy things in order for thy Wardenship and in all other causes of worldly affairs And for maintenance to further thy journy God will most graciously raise thee up some good friends to be helping unto thee that thou 〈◊〉 have maintenance in thy journy And thy very friend John Pontoys shall by Gods favour come home and he shall and will be a great aid unto thee t perform this course the which God by me hath commanded thee to undertake That where thou

so doing and 〈◊〉 this his commandment and will by me Raphael the which message I am at Gods will and his pleasure plainly to make known unto thee that it is his will to have thee to follow this course in which God will have thee to enter into Not fearing nor mistrusting the weakness of thy body but that God will preserve thee for that time as shall be his good will and pleasure that thou shalt have life here in this world to be as merciful a God to deliver thee from all hurts and dangers and from all infirmities even with as much health as thou hast had in this time as thou hast lived thus many years so God will have thee to follow his will in this direction and then thou shalt have all things aforesaid performed unto thee and thou shalt then have such favour that thou shalt behold his blessed Creatures with these thy mortal eyes and if thou wilt perform to the uttermost of thy power this message from God by me delivered Then G d will in his mercies perform all that is promised unto thee And except thou wilt be willing and dutiful so much as in thee lieth to make good this the which I have through God means declared what course thou must take and if thou dost it not then God will not no more send unto thee to the beholding of any mans earthly eyes any of his blessed Creatures Therefore I command thee from God as I am his faithful Minister and blessed Angel of God that thou shouldst not doubt to take this journy in hand for God will be with thee and for thee and his blessed Angels shall be thy comfort even as the Angel of God was the comfort unto young Tobias in his journey so God will deal with thee in thine And so I have delivered unto thee what God will have thee 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 It is the will and favour of God to give the as much understanding of Gods mercies towards thee yet for to come as ever mortal man had delivered unto him by any spiritual Creature from God So now I have fully ended my message Therefore see that thou John Dee be as ready to perform it to the greatest of thy power as lovingly in giving God thanks for this message delivered because I would have thee to be such an one as shall not end his dayes in reproach and rejoycing of thy enemies but thou shalt have time and days to live that when thou diest and shalt depart this world thou shalt die with fame and memory to the end that such an one was upon the earth that God by him had wrought great and wonderful Miracles in his service And thus to Gods honour and his glory I have ended my message yielding unto God all honour and praise and thanks for all his blessings and his great benefits bestowed upon his Creatures both now and for evermore Amen Blessed be God in all his gifts and holy in all his works Praised be God Amen Amen Δ. Amen Δ. Now O God as I have willingly yielded unto thy will and commandment of undertaking a Journey so I beseech thee that it may stand with thy good pleasure to notifie unto me the Country Region or City unto which thou wouldst have me direct my course from hence-forward Δ. Nothing appeared A Voice ..... A Voice ..... In the Name of God to morrow at ten of the clock Δ. So be it Δ. All thanks praise and glory be to God the Father God the Son and God the holy Ghost now and for ever Amen A Note to be considered Mr. Ecclestone In the house at the breaking up of the place were these Bolton Lettice Gostwich a Maiden Cook and Dairy-maid TO know the house and place therein where it is or if it be in many places divided which they are Or if any other be privy of it
this house thou shalt hereafter as plainly know who had them and how they were gone as thou dost plainly understand for thy Salt but thou shalt stay and proceed no further till such time as I Raphael shall speak further of it for God will have all things to be done well and to his best liking So for that I have now said Δ. John Dee it is in the hands of God and his power to send thee such helps as thou dost seek of the Treasure to be brought unto thee but God will not have it so to be the while thou art in this place England I mea for God will not have thee to come into any disdain or slander might take some advantage against them but be content with that little that can be made of thy right in the Colledge matters And furthermore thou shalt see that God will send thee soon some such small helps by man that thou shalt have some feeling of help to help thee whither thou shouldst go and therefore I Raphael have now said Δ .... John Pontoys John Dee be not too much inquisitive but what shall be best to your liking in any good cause whatsoever you or he shall think good to be done for your good God will put his assistance and help that you shall perceive Gods favour therein And thus much I have said at Gods commandment I came and so on his mercifull goodnesse and his power I must presently depart Δ ... Bartholomews request of George Sherman his earnest oft and dreaming of Treasure to be under the foundation of the wall called De la pry wall a Nunry in times past within half a mile of Northampton Sir William Tate his house is within that wall in three parts That man may lawfully have it if he take heed in the breaking of the the three places for it is for the greatest part under the bottom of the wall and many roots of thorns and trees that will let and hinder the working for it if he do not work much as slope as you can to go under the roots the which he may well and lawfully do So doing he may well obtain his purpose and now you have plainly understood the truth The one part of that Treasure was laid by an old Nun that was of that house at that time and one that was her brother and the other was laid even at the same time that the same travel the which you took the last day saving one to know of that battel it was hid at the same time by one of the Lords that was there killed and so it hath remained ever since the one place more easier to come at then the other but with the favour of God and in his mercy that good fortune to be desired at parties hand it may be had and compassed by the said party And so now I have made the matter known unto you And now in the name of the Almighty and mercifull God at whose will and pleasure I came so now I depart in Gods peace The mercies of God be upon you both for this life and for that which is to come his name be glorifyed for evermore Amen Amen Δ. Amen 1607. Munday 7. Sept. hora 7. Δ. THis morning as Bartholomew had intended to be going homeward in the morning and I not intending to move an action now but committed all to God Bartholomew was spoken unto by Raphael ..... Command John d ee to come up into this place Δ .... In the name of Jesus and to the honour and glory of the most blessed Trinity Amen Mittas O omnipotens sempiterne une Deus lucem tuam veritatem tuam quae nos ducant perducant ad montem sanctum tuum 〈◊〉 tua tabernacula Amen Barth .... He is here Δ .... Benedictus est qui venit in nomine Domini Amen The Almighty God be blessed and praised of all good creatures give praise unto his holy name for evermore Amen John Dee I am the same blessed creature Raphael that did appear the last day but one in this place I am at the commandment of the most highest to come unto your presence at this time because thou shouldest very well know that I Raphael am very ready at all times to come when God shall command me but John Dee I have no long message at this time for thou hast Gods full purpose and his will in what he would have thee to enter into and because that thou shalt well know that even now at your departing the one from the other it hath pleased God to send me to let thee to understand that for this time no more matters as concerning what thou art taugh shall not at this tim no more be spoken of untill such time as God shall appoint at your next meeting and coming together that then if there be any thing that is not done of you so far forth as it is in your power to fulfill it if 〈◊〉 default in you be I will then put you in remembrance of it and help you in any thing which you shall doubt of and if you have any question or demand to ask of me even now I am very ready in few words to answer you and then in his name who hath sent me that is the Almight I must return therefore if you have to ask do it Δ .... As concerning Mr. John of the Isle of Man his pitiful case hath moved my compassion Raph. ... John Dee assure thy self that as thou dost most heartily with a good faith in God that thou mightest be that man wherein God will most mercifully help his distressed case therefore I answer thee that God hath and he will hear thee to thy comfort therein and to the great comfort of the man whom that cause doth belong unto God will mercifully help the cause so shortly as his will and pleasure is to be done in it So much I have said for this Δ .... I thank God most heartily for his so great mercies Δ .... John Pontoys my great friend earnestly desireth to know his good Angel Raph. .... John Dee for thy sake he shall know his good Angel but let it not be with him hereafter to have a pride in mind that God hath made known unto him his good angel for no man upon the face of the earth can have a better then he hath for Uriel is his appointed Angel from his birth to this day and so shall continue with him to the appointed time that God will take his life away in separating his soul from his body for Uriel hath been under God his deliverer forth of many dangers and so he shall be his defence under God to his lifes end And for this I have made the matter plainly known unto you Procede Δ .... Secondly John Pontoys is desirous to know the end of the Polish troubles Raph. ... John Dee in few words for that matter I answer thee Those troubles
will somewhat end to his losse but it shall be no great matter so that God will work the case that it shall end to his liking And thus much for this I have said Δ .... As concerning the man and the Treasure I am desirous to know whether he will be content to assign his title to Bartholomew upon some portion thereof delivered unto him and what other he hath made acquainted with the matter and whether it may not by Gods good liking be set up without digging Raph .... John Dee in all this I hear thee and I know thine intent herein That man may be reasonably ruled but yet he will not put over his title therein but he hath 4. that beknowing how the matter doth stand with him and so much as he doth know he hath made them to know as much as himself Therefore assure thy self that he shall be ruled and that it shall not be as he will If he will not be ordered in such sort and good councel as I Raphael shall give unto this Bartholomew at that time that then he shall have no part of it but I certifie you that he will be ruled but onely the others which I have made known unto you they will not come to so good course in the matter as he will Therefore let it rest I will direct Bartholomew in the matter which shall be to his good or else it shall not come to his hand the which you have to know of And for this now I have said John Dee it is the will and purpose of God that it shall come by breaking of the ground because that God will have all things done well that no discord may break out betwixt the parties hereafter And so now in Gods name I have said Δ .... Most humbly I thank and praise Almighty God for his infinite mercies and favour beseeching him to assist me evermore Amen Δ .... John Pontoys would shortly fall to work somewhat to win some help for mony by distillations and Alchymicall conclusions till we were otherwise holpen and we are utterly unable to provide things necessary for lack of sufficient provision of money Raph. ... Trouble not thy self as yet with these causes Δ ... If Captain Langham will lend me an hundred pounds or more as he promised me for which my servant Patrick expecteth his performance at this hour Raph. ... Not in such tim TO DO YOV GOOD John Dee that is the plain meaning wherein it is said not to do thee good because it will be something too long for thou art ready for it if it were now therefore with all hast so much as is in Gods will to be done in it it shall be hastened forward to do thee good And now I have plainly spoken unto thee in this case my time appointed of God is at hand John Dee thou hast fulfilled two questions as concerning John Pontoys look in thy Note John Pont. Oh that I might be fit to serve you in Bartholomews absence Raph. ... John Dee In the name of the most highest I answer thee to this his desire wherein he doth crave at the hands of God for to obtain the sight of his blessed creatures but hereafter it shall be made known unto thee what God will do for him in that his desire And now all power and glory be given to the Almighty who hath made heaven and earth his name be magnified and praised everlastingly Amen Amen Δ .... Amen Δ .... All praise all thanks all honour and glory be yielded unto God of all his creatures now and for evermore Amen Δ .... John Pontoys note which he wrote and left on my study table 7.
