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. .....

Manè hora 7. †Pragae I received the Noble Octavius Spinola his answer by Emericus as concerning my accepting of the Emperour his gratious former answer of condescending to my request so much as he conveniently could which my answer yesterday night late was delivered to the Noble Spinola Whereunto he said that my Answer would be most acceptable unto the Emperour and that to morrow meaning this Thursday the honourable Doctor Curtz should understand the Emperours pleasure herein Hereupon I willed Emericus to go up to the Castle and to bring himself in sight of the Noble Spinola if he could Thereby to help his memory for warning and information to be given to the said Doctor Curtz That so we might come together so soon as conveniently might be Deo omnis laus honor gloria Amen Thursday Septembris 13. Manè horam circiter 9. †Pragae Δ. Precibus finitis and the case propounded of the Emperour his Answer for dealing with Doctor Curtz a man of his Privy Council faithful learned and wise upon the considerations alledged I requested of God his pleasure to be signified unto me by some of his faithful and true Messagers whether I shall openly and frankly deal with this Doctor so as the Emperour by him may understand that which he should have done at my mouth and hands originally And whether I may both alone with the Emperour and before and with the said Doctor deal in this Action as occasion shall serve from time to time at my discretion informed by his secret grace divine Δ. Nothing appearing or being heard in a quarter of an hour space I suspected some of our misdoings to be the cause of the Lord his refraining to answer and thereupon I did fall to prayer for mercy and grace and deliverance from the assaults and malitious purposes of the Devil against us And that I did the rather because as I felt my good Angel 〈◊〉 other good friend in vertue so I felt Pilosum sensibly busie and as it were to errisie me with my offences past or to put me out of hope at this present from being heard But I held on to pray divers Psalms and at length against the wicked tempters purposely After my prayers and assuring E. K. that the spiritual enemy was here busie and attended to frustrate this dayes Action He answered that against him E. K. he could not prevail or accuse him for his late notable fault for he had made a reckoning and sorrowful bewailing for that his trespass to the Lord and that he doubted not of forgiveness and that he was so reconciled to God that Satan nor any other wicked accuser could put him in any doubt of God his mercy c. And he spake very well both of repentance Gods mercies his justice and of these Actions Mary he confessed that by reason he himself was an unmeet person to come before the Emperour or Princes c. and therefore if it would please God to discharge him of further medling so by reason he might seem well at ease c. At length after an hour appeared Vriel but with a Scarf before his face as he had last Δ. God send us the brightnesse of his countenance when it shall please him Uriel ..... True it is that in respect of the terrour and force of God his wrath and indignation in 1 Judgement Reconciliation is made through that power which is given unto the Lamb to whom all power is given in Heaven and Earth But with the 2 congregation and the members of Christ his body the number of the faithful the Church of God you have not made reconciliation And therefore are not sinners worthy to behold the face of true light and understanding for there is a double Reconciliation One and the firs between the Conscience and the Judge through the force of faith and repentance that is to say Reconciliation against Judgement Another the secon Reconciliation between the Spirit of Truth the Church of Go and mans Conscience Behold I teach you a mystery 1. Those that are at one with God shall not be judged with the wicked in the last Judgement Notwithstanding the Justice of God is pure and undefiled and suffereth not mans fault unpunished 2. But he that is at one with the Spirit of God is made one with him and without punishment For there are many things that God beareth witnesse of in the soul and secret Chambers of man that neither the blessed already dignified nor to be dignified do or can know which is the cause that the soul of man after his body sleepet being found polluted is received and snatched up of such as are the Messagers of punishment and so according to the multitude of their sins are in horrour and punishment Therefore not all that are punished shall be damned Neither is it evident unto the Angels who shall be saved I speak generally Therefore when you offend be also reconciled unto the Mother of the house that you may have place before such as are reproved Herein you may understand the retaining of sin For the retaining of sin is a judgement And therefore it is necessary that God should hold a general day that those that have trusted in him and inwardly have been sorry for their offences may also taste of his mercy Else how could it be verified that the Prophet saith If in Hell thou art also there But here there is a Caution All sins that are forgiven by the Church passe not the fire but he that is forgiven in his heart by God in his Son Christ and 2 reconciled through the holy Spirit to the body from whence he is fallen is safe as well from the wrath of God to come as the punishment due unto his offences And therefore is the reconciling of brethren of great force Wherefore hath Christ left his body with the Church Wherefore is he called the bread of Life I say unto you my brethren that the body of Christ dignified and glorified is true bread is true comfort which cleanseth sinners that are penitent and wipeth away the punishment of adversity Happy are those that eat of him and that account not his body as the shadow of a candle Behold I teach you Even as the Spirit of God filleth the Congregation of the faithful so doth the body of Christ now dignifie fill and cleanse all that receive with sorrow sorrow I mean for their wickednesse But lo his body is become an offence unto the world Many there are that say This is Christ But behold I teach you Even as all things were made by him spiritually So are all that are of his Elect nourished through him bodily Lo he is become one power one God in that he is neither
satisfie my desire which was to understand the natures of all his creatures and the best manner how to use them to his divine honor and glory and the comfort of the elect and also to the reproof and confusion of the adversaries of his name and honour And herein I had dealed sundry wayes And at length had found the mercies of God such as to send me the instruction of Michael Gabriel Raphael and Vriel and divers other his good and faithful Messagers such as I had here now brought books about 18 to shew him the manner of their proceeding And that I thought it good to begin at the last book which also concerned most this present Emperour Rodolph And so I did and so by degrees from book to book lightly I gave him a taste or sight of the most part and also let him see the Stone brought me by Angelical ministery c. All things being seen and heard that in six hours I could shew him at length he required of me what conclusion or summary report he should make to the Emperour I answered as he had occasion of the things seen and heard but if he would follow my counsel somewhat expert in these Divine and Angelical doings That his Majesty was to thank God for his great mercies and graces offered and that by me one who most sincerely and faithfully gave his Majesty to understand the will of God herein and that his Majesty was to do as Mary the blessed Virgin did to lay up all these my informations in his heart and to say Ecce servus Domini fiat voluntas tua and so to attend the manner of the Lord his proceeding while he framed his life as it became every Christian to do He said that he would write for his own memories help some short note of his observations of my speeches and things seen and marked and that he would to morrow being Sonday or on Monday if he conveniently could make a report to the Emperour and so with all speed give me to understand further of the Emperour his Majesties will and pleasure Hereupon courteously he brought me down to the street door of his house and I came home after seven of the Clock and an half in the evening The mercies of God be on me and his name be magnified and extolled in this world and for ever Amen Note In the mean space while I was thus occupied with the foresaid Mr. Curtz E. K. was visited at our Lodging with a wicked Tempter who denied any Christ to be and that as the heart received comfort of all the Members of the body So that he who is God of all things received comfort by Angels and other the Members of the world and that I was now with one who would use me like a Serpent with head and tayl compassing my confusion c. he earnestly reviled E.

I am Uriel the servant of the most wise mighty and everlasting God which visit you for two causes The first that I may open unto you true and perfect light such as darknesse comprehendeth not infallible and true meat the power and spirit of the everlasting God The second that I may counsel you against the world and teach you to triumph against her frowardnesse For who hath trusted in the Lord and hath been cast down or what is he that hath cried aloud and is not heard Therefore I say unto you Hear my voyce For I am of truth and put against darknesse and in me are published the light and mysteries of the Trinity from time to time and in all ages unto those that fear and obey God Two things there are which are the seals and marks of Satan which bring eternal death and damnation to all such as are noted or burned with them that is to say lying and froward silence Behold the words of Christ unto the subtile your father is a lyar from the beginning and the Devil Hearken unto my voyce He that 1 teacheth false Doctrine openeth 2 his mouth against truth or defiraudeth 3 his brother is a lyar and shall not be forgiven 1. For first he sinneth against his Creator which created all things in truth 2. Secondly he offendeth against the truth and his Redeemer which is the son of God very Christ. 3. Thirdly he offendeth against the spirit of God of the Father and the Son the holy Ghost which shall not be forgiven And therefore doth he incurre the rigour of Gods justice his eternall damnation
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.

the word Perfect because all perfection belongs unto God properly it shall suffice to say That the knowledge Divels have of things Natural and Humane is incomparably greater then man is capable of If so how comes it to pass that in many places of this Relation we find him acting his part rather as a Sophister that I say not a Juggler then a perfect Philosopher as a Quack or an Empirick sometimes then a True genuine Naturalist And for language not to speak of his Divinity which he might disguise of purpose to his own ends rather as one that had learned Latin by reading of barbarous books of the middle age for the most part then of one that had been of Augustus his time and long before that But that which is strangest of all is that as in one place the Spirits were discovered by Ed. Kelley to steal out of Agrippa or Trithemius so he thought at least so in divers other places by the phrase and by the doctrine and opinions a man may trace noted Chymical and Cabalistical Authors of later times yea if I be not much mistaken and Paracelsus himself that prodigious creature for whom and against whom so much hath been written since he lived these things may seem strange but I think they may be answered For first we say The Divel is not ambitious to shew himself and his abilities before men but his way is so observed by many to fit himself for matter and words to the genius and capacity of those that he dealeth with Dr. d ee of himself long before any Apparition was a Cabalistical man up to the ears as I may say as may appear to any man by his Monas Hieroglyphica a book much valued by himself and by him Dedicated at the first to Maximilian the Emperor and since presented as here related by himself to Rodoiphe as a choice piece It may be thought so by those who esteem such books as Dr. Floid Dr. Alabaster and of late Gafarell and the like For my part I have read him it is soon don it is but a little book but I must profess that I can extract no sense nor reason sound and solid out of it neither yet doth it seem to me very dark or mystical Sure we are that those Spirits did act their parts so well with Dr. d ee that for the most part in most Actions they came off with good credit and we find the Dr. every where almost extolling his Spiritual teachers and instructers and praysing God for them Little reason therefore have we to except against any thing in this kind that gave him content which was their aim and business Secondly I say If any thing relish here of Trithemius or Paracelsus or any such well may we conclude from thence that the Divel is like himself This is the truest inference It is he that inspired Trithemius and Paracelsus c. that speaketh here and wonder ye if he speaks like them I do not expect that all men will be of my opinion yet I speak no Paradoxes I have both reason and authority good and plausible I think for what I say but to argue the case at large would be tedious Of Trithemius somewhat more afterwards will be said But we must go far beyond that time A thousand years and above before either of them was born was the BOOK OF ENOCH well known in the world and then also was Lingua Adami upon which two most of the Cabala stands much talked of as appears by Greg. Nissen his learned books against Eunomius the Heretick To speak more particularly because so much of it in this Relation the BOOK OF ENOCH was written before Christ and it is thought by some very learned though denyed by others that it is the very book that S. Jude intended A great fragment of it in Greek it was written in Hebrew first is to be seen in Scaliger that incomparable man the wonder of his Age if not rather of all Ages his learned Notes upon Eusebius It was so famous a book antiently that even Heathens took notice of it and grounded upon it objections against Christians It may appear by Origen against Celsus in his book 5. p. 275. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith he 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 But S. Jerome and S. Augustin speak of it more peremptorily as a fabulous book and not allowed by the Church How much of it is extant besides what we have in Scaliger I know not nor what part it is so often mentioned in this Relation By what I have seen it doth appear to me a very superstitious foolish fabulous writing or to conclude all in one word Cabalistical such as the Divel might own very well and in all probability was the author of As for that conceit of the tongue which was spoken by Adam in Paradise we have already said that it is no late invention and I make no question but it proceeded from the same Author Yea those very Characters commended unto Dr. Dee by his Spirits for holy and mystical and the original Characters as I take it of the holy tongue they are no other for the most part but such as were set out and published long agoe by one Theseus Ambrosus out of Magical books as himself professeth you shall have a view of them in some of the Tables at the end of the Preface Some letters are the same others have much resemblace in the substance and in transcribing it is likely they might suffer some alteration But it may be too the Spirits did not intend they should be taken for the same because exploded by learned men and therefore altered the forms and figures of most of them of purpose that they might seem new and take the better So that in 〈◊〉 this the Divel is but still constant unto himself and this constancy stands him in good stead to add the more weight and to gain credit to his Impostures Not to be wondred therefore if the same things be found elsewhere where the D. hath an hand With Cabalistical writings we may joyn Chymical here also mentioned in many places I have nothing to say to Chymistrie as it is meerly natural and keeps it self within the compass of sobriety It may wel go for a part of Physick for ought I know though many great Physicians because of the abuse and danger of it as I conceive have done their best formerly to cry it down I my self have seen strange things done by it and it cannot be denyed but the wonders of God and Nature are as eminently visible in the experiments of that Art as any other natural thing However it is not improbable that divers secrets of it came to the knowledg of man by the Revelation of Spirits And the practice and profession of it in most them especially that profess nothing else is accompanied with so much Superstition and Imposture as it would make a sober man that tendreth the preservation of himself in his right wits

I have chosen you to enter into my barns And have commanded you to open the Corn that the scattered may appear and that which remaineth in the sheaf may stand And have entered into the first and so into the seventh And have delivered unto you the Testimony of my spirit to come For my Barn hath been long without Threshers And I have kept my flayles for a long time hid in unknown places Which flayle is the Doctrine that I deliver unto you Which is the Instrument of thrashing wherewith you shall beat the sheafs that the Corn which is scattered and the rest may be all one But a word in the mean season If I be Master of the Barn owner of the Corn and deliverer of my flayle If all be heaven And unto you there is nothing for you are hirelings whose reward is heaven Then see that you neither thresh nor unbinde untill I bid you let it be sufficient unto you that you know my house that you know the labour I will put you to That I favour you so much as to entertain you the labourers within my Barn For within it thresheth none without my consent For in you shall many people be blessed and in you shall there be no division For Esau and Jacob shall be joyned together and their Kingdom shall be all one For as the Sacrifice is so must the Priests be E. K. Now he kneeleth down again Me thinketh I hear them say What shall become of Laskie E. K. And so the people say Ask me no Questions but hear what I have to say As those that desire to make a speedy Dinner and to entertain their guests go suddenly out and gather the dryest wood in the wood-pile Not because it is more wood than the other but because it is dry and most apt for the speediness of the kitchen So it is with me saith the Lord. For I respect him not in that he is a man but in respect of the manner of his minde and inward man which I find in respect of my purpose aptest in the world because be naturally hateth the wicked Therefore naturally I love him of whom I say I swear If he follow me saith the Lord I will be with him as I was with my Warrier at Hiericho And I will be mighty with him in this world and a lover of him for ever But me thinketh he will be proud If you find me weak know you that I am not weak of my self but your own weakness may be your confusion For I am a fire and take hold of such matter as I find apt E.

There was great disquietnesse in E. K. being come home from our Hosts house where he had lyen all night upon a form by reason he had been which he never was the like afore as he said with wine overcome suddenly yet intending with himself to take heed of being overshot in drinking of wine being requested by the Hostes to give her a quart of wine upon the good bargain he had in a Clock he bought of her for five Suckats In this company of drinking was Alexander the Lord Laskie his servant who came with us to Prage Unto whom E. K. when the drink on the sudden had overcome him said he would cut off his head and with his walking staffe did touch him fair and softly on the neck sitting before him This Alexander being half drunken himself by by took those words in great snuffe and went to defend himself and so took his weapon to him and thereupon they by caused Alexander to go down It was supper time and I that night refrained to suppe and so tarrying at my Lodging and looking out saw Alexander sitting on the great stone against our Lodging I called to him and told him that they were at supper And he came over to me and he had wept much he complained of E. K. his former words and the touch of the staffe how it was against his credit to take that in good part and spake many Souldiers terms of stout words not worthy the recording I thereupon went to our Hosts house and would understand the very truth and there I found E. K. fast on sleep on a form most soundly for which I was right sorry And yet better pleased to perceive the words of E. K. which so moved Alexander being half drunken to have been spoken by E. K. when wine and not wit bare rule and so pleaded long time with Alexander that of words spoken so as they were no such exact account was to be given to him c. And after two hours perswasion caused Alexander to go to bed in our Lodging where he used to lye For he would have gone out to our former Inne in those raging half drunken pangs he was in which I thought not good This Monday morning E. K. coming home and seeing Alexander as he came in he said they tell I should have spoken words which greatly offended thee yesternight and that I touched thee with my staff c. I know nothing of it and shoke hands friendly with Alexander Well saith Alexander Si fuisset alius c. E. K. came up to me I told him how sorry I was for this mischance and told him of the Watchmen perceiving Alexander his disquiet mind and hearing his words they came to me and charged me to have a care of the peace keeping as they did indeed And farther said that Alexander in his rage said that rather or before he should cut off his head that he would cut E. K. in pieces So soon as I had expressed that word of this drunken Alexander likewise whom now I saw quiet and E. K. also quiet suddenly E. K. fell into such a rage that he would be revenged of him for so saying and for railing on him in the street as he did c. Much a do I Emericus and his brother had to stop or hold him from going to Alexander with his weapon c. At length we let him go in his dubblet and hose without a cap or hat on

If he Be then doth it follow that nothing is but that which is God But God made not all things made and create of himself neither out of himself therefore of nothing Understand therefore that God from beginning and beyond the beginning in himself in himself as God conteined I am and is proper to himself and for himself But also by the knowledge of himself he conteined also that Nothing of the which in his secret and determined purpose separated from himself he intended to make all things It followeth necessarily therefor that that which was not had no power of it self must remain after the Image of IS brought or knit together by the Wisome of God substantially in himself whereby Jesus Christ appeared in his God-head But behold when God the Father and the Son through one spiritual substance and illumination from one centre had gathered together Ictu Divino that Nihil separable E.

He seemeth now to be very clear and in manner transparent ..... Say that last Δ I read But behold when God c. as in the 8th line above E. K. He looketh about him diligently ..... Then did he separate that Nothing from himself and as it marvelously lay hid in him so marvelously he wrought upon it Not at one instant for then it had been like unto himself But in time which he first made out of nothing which being consumed Nothing shall return into the place from whence it

K. and holding his face away-ward he said unto him Quaeso dicas Domino Doctori quod veniat ad me And so went away as it were cutting here and there the Trees very handsomly and at length over the Cherry-trees by the house on the Rock in the Garden he seemed to mount up in a great piller of fire E. K. bade his Wife to go and she who was in the Garden She came up and brought him word No body E. K. then came to me and said I think there is some wicked spirit that would allude me and he told and said to me as is before noted Then said I I will go into the Garden and bade E. K. come with me We went down that way which this Creature did go but nothing we saw went to the Banqueting-house in the Vine-yard but that place pleased us not so we went along in the way by the cliff side and sat down on the bank by the great pyle of Vine-stakes lying in the very South end of the Vine-yard And we had not sat there half a quarter of an hour but I espyed under the Almond-tree and on the South-side of it being the Westerly Almond-tree that is it which is standing on the Westerly side of the straight path which leadeth from the North toward the South in the Vineyard I espyed I say like a sheet of faire white paper lying tossed to and fro in the wind I rose and went to it and to the prayse of God his truth and power there I found three of my Books lying which were so diligently burnt the tenth day of April last 1 The three Books were Enoch his Book 2 The 48 Claves Angelicae 3 And the third was the Book of my gathering of the thirty Aires and entitled Liber Scientia terrestris auxilii victoriae Thereupon E. K. comming to me I fell on my knees with great thanks yeilding to the God Almighty and so did E. K. whose mind and body were mervailously affected at the sight of the said Books having no shew or signe that ever they had been in the fire neither by colour or savour or any thing wanting And after we had set half an hour under the fore-said Almond-trees praysing God and

K. Now it is vanished Δ. Hereupon we were in great amazement and grief of minde that so hard and as it yet seemed unto me so unpure a Doctrine was popounded and enjoyned unto us of them whom I alwayes from the beginning hitherto did judge and esteem undoubtedly to be good Angels And had unto E K. offered my soul as a pawn to discharge E. K. his crediting of them as the good and faithful Ministers of Almighty God But now my heart was sore afflicted upon many causes And E. K. had as he thought now a just and sufficient cause to forsake dealing with them any more As his prayer to God of a long time hath been as in the former part of this Action may appear After our going out of the Chappel and at our being at dinner when we four whose heads so were united in a pillar shewed as is before set down I found means to make some little declaration of our great grief mine chiefly now occasioned either to try us or really to be executed in the common and indifferent using of Matrimonial Acts amongst any couple of us four Which thing was strange to the women And they hoped of some more comfortable issue of the cause And so we left off After Dinner as E. K. was alone there appeared unto him little creatures of a cubit high and they came to the Still where he had the spirit of Wine distilling over out of a Retorto And one of them whose name they expressed Ben said that it was in vain so to hope for the best spirit of the Wine And shewed him how to distill it and separate it better And moreover how to get oyl of the spirit of Wine as it burned in the lamps And began to ask E. K. what Country-man he was And when he had answered an English-man he asked then how he came hither he answered by Sea Then said he And who helped you to pass the marvellous great dangers of the Sea And so took occasion to speak of the benefits which God had hitherto done for us very many And this Ben said than among very many other things as Mr. E. K. told me on Saturday night after Supper holding on his talk almost till two of the clock after midnight That he it was that delivered him or gave unto his hands the powder And also he said either than or the next day at the furthest that unleast he would be conformable to the will of God in this last Action declared That he would take the vertue and force of the powder from it That it should be unprofitable And that he should become a beggar And of me also he said that I did evil to require proof or testimony now that this last Doctrine was from God Almighty and said that I should be led prisoner to Rome c. He told of England and said That about July or November her Majesty should from heaven be destroyed and that about the same time the King of Spain should dye And that this present Pope at his Mass should be deprived of life before two years to an end And that another should be Pope who should be Decimus quintus of his name And that he would begin to reform things but that shortly he should of the Cardinals be stoned to death And that after that there should be no Pope for some years Of England he said That after the death of our dear Queen One of the house of Austria made mighty by the King of Spain his death should invade and conquer the land c. He said One now abroad should at Milford-haven enter and by the help of the Britans subdue the said Conqueror And that one Morgan a Britan should be made King of the Britans and next him one Rowland c. He said also That this Francis Garland was an espy upon us from the Lord Treasurer of England And that Edward Garland is not his brother And that so the matter is agreed between them c. That my Lord Rosenberg should be in danger of poysoning for these certain months to come That my Tables of Enoch were in some places falsly written Of Antichrist he spake and of his appearing Of Ely and Enoch coming out of Paradise And of Saint John Evangelist that he dyed not but in Pathmos had his invisible being And that he it was who did give 〈◊〉 Apostata his deaths wound He said also that he hath at divers times preached visibly since the time of his invisible state entred He confirmed the words of the great Famine and Blood-shed that should come shortly He said that on every side of us people should be slain but that we should by the Divine protection escape He said that shortly this Francis Garland should go into England And that we should be sent for But that it were best to refuse their calling us home He said that there were four other who were made also privy of God his mysteries as we were with whom we should meet at Rome He said that Mary and one more in England should see the wonderful days to come Madimi appeared to him there also The same Ben went once away mounting up in a flame of fire and afterward upon occasion of asking him somewhat he came down so again And of the manner how to draw the oyl of the Spirit of wine being burnt he brought thither the instruments of two silver dishes whelmed one upon another with an hole passing through the middle of them both and with sponge between them in which the oyl would remain c. After all these and many other things told me by the same Mr. E.K. we departed each to his bed where I found my wife awake attending to hear some new matter of me from Mr. Kelly his reports of the apparitions continued with him above four hours being else alone I then told her and said June I see that there is no other remedy but as hath been said of our cross-matching so it must needs be done Thereupon she fell a weeping and trembling for a quarter of an hour And I pacified her as well as I could and so in the fear of God and in believing of his Admonishment did perswade her that she shewed her self prettily resolved to be content for God his sake and his secret Purposes to obey the Admonishment Δ.

Our chief cause at this instant why we resort to this shew-stone is for to understand according to the grounds of God his promise the state of my wife her grievous disease and means to cure her wherein if it please the Lord to be mercifull unto her and me it shall be the occasion whereby she will all her life time praise the name of God for his mercies and be of a quietter minde and not so testy and fretting as she is ..... Who are you or from whence come you that you'require science which seek to be more wise and expert then such as are the Children and Doctors of this World whose judgements are rash and understanding naked and in whose lips dwelleth no truth Who I say are you that you should deserve the majestral benefit of so great and sanctified grace as to understand the determination of God the power of his Angels or the brightnesse or obscurity of mans Soul and understanding You desperate sinners and partakers with the wicked how can you seek bread at your fathers hands when you seek to steal into his barnes Yea into his house and dining Tables and more then that yea even into his privy Chambers not to spoyl him of his houshold stuffe of his Gold or precious stones but of the diademe and Crown of his everlasting Majesty and honour you are thieves and robbers and through the Dignity of your spirit you shall think to exalt your selves and to live in Majesty with the world True it is you may live so But you live with an Harlot and

Either by the star that is cause of coagulation and imbibing of mans sperm in the femine blood without the which it could not 2. The other that is the second through infection of meates which are divers wherewith the thing is and continueth which in their kinds are many 3. The last by conjunction or mixture which is the secret property that draweth infection from man to man These if you know for he is no Physitian if he know them not how they are and live and are joyned together in their proportions and also when they exceed or are diminished in that they are you shall be able to bring them to their proper being wherein they are ratified and rejoyce Δ.
