person of a great personage since deceased as it were in candle light with a great Bell full of iniquitie That during that time the Lorde shewed him a terrible famine which he would bring vpon a lande but whether this lande or not was not declared That Christ then shewed him his wisedome and prouidence in gouerning the Seas all other waters in their courses and further shewed him the man that should sitte on Christes right hand to iudge both the quicke and the dead whose name he wel knoweth That then he made his petition vnto the Lord who answered him by a voice thus what he would how he would when he would Howe by the extremitie of his torments his eies were fallen downe and his tongue thrust out of his head so as he could not pull it in againe one Barley cornes breadth but the Lorde in that extremitie shewed him that hee would keepe his bodie from bursting and that one haire of his head shoulde not perish That being loosed by his wiues importunitie soone after in a verie raynie daye hee his wife one Richard Dickons and one Palmer ridde altogether thence towarde Oundell thirtie myles that daye and albeit it rayned all the daye verie sore so that great floods came vpon it yet neuer one of them had any droppe thereof fall vpon their clothes That being at Oundell and foreseeing he shoulde bee exercised againe he prayed his wife that no man might come at him for hee woulde keepe his chamber and then the Lorde appeared vnto him and shewed him in what danger the lande was by reason of forreine enemies at the Sea and commaunded him to goe rounde about the Towne and that shoulde be a defence to the land round about That after this he kept him selfe in his Barne about eight daies reasoning with the Lorde touching Praedestination and Reprobation continually begging of him that hee would saue all those that fought ignorantly against the trueth or otherwise sinned through want of knowledge How after this betaking himselfe to his chamber againe the Lord he saith forced him to cry out against two great subiects and Counsellors in this lande That he was againe bounde and tormented there other twentie dayes in eight whereof he neither did eate nor drinke and was continually watched for that they knew the Lord would come and loose him if they left him That during this time Witches vsed their forcerie stongly vpon him That the Lorde then tolde him that he would harden his owne heart against Hackets tormētors How then also 4. or 5. Angels night by night stood by him and watched ouer him like vnto doues and one night spirits innumerable and that a white hande came from the Almightie and tooke him by the hande whereby all venome poison vncleannes and corruption departed from him for a time whereupon the Lorde shewed him three heauens together all the dwelling places contriued in one of them but the highest heauen was shewed to be without ende which glorie he was not able to beholde but was made able to looke vpon the blood of the Saintes which was made round like a waxe cake in very great breadth but the glorie which therewith appeared he could not looke vpon so that he was forced to turne his face vpon the pillowe Howe the Lord also shewed him the murthering of the wicked euen like the slaying of swine the father murthering the sonne and the mother the daughter and euery one another all the day long and no man tooke pitie vpon them That there was then reuealed vnto him a very strange fire from heauen the length whereof he did see consuming all things from the heauen to hell mouth but he did not see the breadth thereof Also that he then did see the breadth of the tormenting place of the damned and what was therein but neither the bottome nor length of the place That he also supposed he sawe his libertie begged by two honourable personages Notwithstanding which deliuerance that he dreamed of he telleth that he was carried afterward to North-hampton gaole where he remained 17. weekes as afore is remembred Furthermore there is declared that in his torments the Lorde shewed him howe he would confound all his aduersaries that were guiltie in any practise against him and that one thing which they went about they should neuer bring to passe for he let him see that they were all as drunken men and fooles without wit That in the end they should throw all their bookes away and be at a great confusion one with another That afterward viz. about the beginning of Easter terme last the Lorde brought him to London and howe he was made acquainted with Coppinger at that time as hath bene afore declared Howe after his departing out of the Citie from Coppinger he could not but remember him in his praiers desiring the Lord to reueale himselfe extraordinarily to him so that he might be encouraged to goe forwarde in the action whereupon as the saide Coppinger affirmed he had two extraordinarie seales in very short space after Hackets departure and was wonderfully strengthened to proceede in the cause Then is tolde howe the Lorde commanded him to goe from one place to another in and about the Citie for two daies space and howe he was commanded to raile against the saide two great Counsellors in diuerse places where he came Howe being in that time commanded to see the Lyons in the Tower he tooke the fiercest of them by the head and had none harme Then is tolde what Preachers in the Citie he heard and that going to heare one he sawe a surplesse lie in the Church whereupon he would not stay there That he went to certaine Preachers in prison to command them to deale faithfully in the Lordes busines And how he was commanded by God to deface the Armes of England in Kaies house in Knight-Rider streete Lastly it is saide that God hath appointed two others to deale for and with Hacket whome it will stand vpon to deale faithfully for the Lorde for they knowe what Hacket is and what shall followe if their counsels and directions be not followed Nowe if any shall meruaile howe such an absurd and ridiculous lying legend should seduce men of any consideration so earnest for a supposed Reformation and so exercised in praying and fasting let him remember not onely the effectuall but the efficacie it selfe of Illusion and the spirite of slumber falling by Gods secrete yet alwaies iust iudgement vpon the children of disobedience such as be wise in their owne conceites and not wise with sobrietie that they might beleeue lyes because they haue not beleeued the trueth and that they might aske and not obtaine because they aske not as they ought After Arthington on Thursday morning had ended his aforesaid Treatise of prophesie being the very day before their rising Coppinger tolde him that God the night before had enlightned him the said Coppinger who they all three were saying that Arthington had
