sumptuous Stage or Scaffold each corner thereof being curiously carued with two gilded Lions whereupon there were set and placed a great number of Shepherds hauing staues in their hands below there was a valley full of sheepe I also saw that some of the Shepherds were clothed with strange apparell sitting vpon the North part of the Stage bearing no great loue vnto the sheepe and hauing sent out a great number of Shearers arrayed in all kinde of apparell of which Shearers also some were in strange apparell clothed hauing their sheares very sharp wherewith they shore off the sheeps wooll yea and that so neare that in many places they fleyed and fetched off the very skin so that the bloud gushed out on the ground Whereupon the sheepe began sore to grone vntill I saw a man come clothed in strange apparell hauing a foure-cornerd Cap on his head and a great basket couered with leather out of which he fetched certaine letters which he gaue vnto the Shepherds vpon the North part of the Scaffold so that some of the Shearers went about to fill it with a great deale of the bloudie wooll many of the sheep began to make a great rumour and noise then I saw two great Wolues hauing a number of Foxes by them attempting to make an assault vpon the valley whereupon the Shearers with their sheepe betook them to their flight sore complaining on these strange Shepherds vntill that at length there came an old Lion out of a Den or Grate which Lion was bedeckt with Orange from 〈…〉 number of yong Lions by him who in a great furie surprized the Wolues and all their adherents worried and foyled them all by which meanes the Shepherds with their sheepe obtained peace with much rest in vnity and the wooll of the sheepe began to grow againe Then hee said vnto mee Looke vnder my left arme toward the North where the sheepe are changed and turned to men euen to Citizens and Husbandmen the Shepherds were clothed with long furred gownes the Shearers with long cloakes hauing broad swords or hangers by their sides then I saw that in many places in Friesland the Husbandmen with the Citizens did rise vp against their Gouernours Then I began to consider what it meant and then they cried O woe O woe O woe vnto all Germany or Dutchland if they turne not from and repent them of their sinfull liues the Lord God will punish them with warres and dissentions plague them with pestilence and with deare times vntill they wholly perish and come to nought euen to nothing Then he pointed me Looke toward the East vnder my right arme And I saw a great Eagle with golden fethers which Eagle had thrust out another faire Bird out of his place and residence yea worried him and had almost driuen away all Birds out of their places of residence Then he said vnto me Looke toward the South-west vnder my left arme Then I saw a great Lion giuing fire and flame out of his jawes and then I saw how with great furie and spite he ouercame establishing the foresaid faire Bird in his former place and residence againe to the exceeding great comfort of all the other expulsed or banished Birds All which Birds vnto the Lion yeelded great thankfulnesse Herewith they committed me vnto God the Father charging mee I should make this thing knowne and publish it vnto all men so that if they repent them not of their sinfull liues then shal the Lord God let all these plagues fall vpon them within the terme of two yeeres Then shall there come a time of peace so that loue and peace shall encrease and grow on then when they vanished away I went home where lying vpon my bed musing and meditating vpon these great difficulties and with my selfe concluding and resoluing not to publish or make knowne the same Whereupon I apprehended a very cleare resplendent light and looking vp I beheld three Visions or Apparitions which gaue me three heauie stroakes one vpon my right eye the other vpon my right side so that of mine eye I became starke blinde and therewith they vanished And then with great griefe of heart I resolued to make it knowne beseeching all faithfull and honest hearted Christians both night and day to call vpon the Lord God by prayer and earnestly beseech the Lord God that hee will be gratiously pleased to turne from vs all these plagues euen according to his owne Diuine and godly will Subscribed By me Intien Iansen Elder of the Church of Christ at Oosterzee I will take it vpon my death that I my selfe haue both heard and seene this very thing
