OR A Letter containing a most brief Discourse Apogeticall with a plain Demonstration and fervent Protestation for the lawfull sincere very faithfull and Christian course of the Philosophicall Studies and Exercises of a certain studious Gentleman An ancient Servant to Her most Excellent Majesty Royall To the most Reverend Father in God the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury Primate and Metropolitane of all England one of Her Majesties most Honorable Privie Councell my singular good Lord. MOst humbly and heartily I crave your Graces pardon if I offend any thing to send or present unto your Graces hand so simple a Discourse as this is Although by some sage and discreet my friends their opinion it is thought not to be impertinent to my most needfull suits presently in hand before her most Excellent Majesty Royall your Lordships good Grace and other the Right Honourable Lords of her Majesties Privy Councell to make some part of my former studies and studious exercises within and for these 46 years last past used and continued to be first known and discovered unto your Grace and other the right Honourable my good Lords of her Majesties privy Councell And secondly afterwards the same to be permitted to come to publick view Not so much to stop the mouthes and at length to stay the impudent attempts of the rash and malicious devisers and contrivers of most untrue foolish and wicked reports and fables of and concerning my foresaid studious exercises passed over with my great yea incredible paines travells cares and costs in the search and learning of true Philosophie As therein So to certifie and satisfie the godly and unpartiall Christian hearer or reader hereof That by his own judgement upon his due consideration and examination of this no little parcell of the particulars of my foresaid studies and exercises philosophicall annexed He will or may be sufficiently informed and perswaded That I have wonderfully laboured to find follow use and haunt the true straight and most narrow path leading all true devout zealous faithfull and constant Christian students ex valle hac miseriae miseria istius vallis tenebrarum Regno tenebris istius Regni ad montem sanctum Syon ad coelestia tabernacula All thanks are most due therefore unto the Almighty Seeing it so pleased him even from my youth by his divine favour grace and help to insinuate into my heart an insatiable zeal and desire to know his truth And in him and by him incessantly to seek and listen after the same by the true Philosophical method and harmony proceeding and ascending as it were gradatim from things visible to consider of things invisible from things bodily to conceive of things spirituall from things transitory and momentary to mediate of things permanent by things mortall visible and invisible to have some perseverance of immortality And to conclude most brieflly by the most mervailous frame of the whole World philosophically viewed and circumspectly weighed numbred and measured according to the talent and gift of GOD from above alotted for his divine purposes effecting most faithfully to love honor and glorifie alwaies the Framer and Creator thereof In whose workmanship his infinite goodness unsearchable wisdome and Almighty power yea his everlasting power and divinity may by innumerable means be manifested and demonstrated The truth of which my zealous carefull and constant intent and endeavour specified may I hope easily appear by the whole full and due survey and consideration of all the Books Treatises and Discourses whose Titles onely are at this time here annexed and expressed As they are set down in the sixth Chapter of another little Rhapsodicall Treatise intituled the Compendious Rehearsall c. written above two years since for those her Majesties two honorable Comissioners which her most Excellent Majesty had most graciously sent to my poor Cottage in Mortclacke to understand the matters and causes at full through which I was so extreamly urged to procure at her Majesties hands such Honorable Surveyors and witnesses to be assigned for the due proof of the contents

to any place to them And that about our own affairs we are contented to use patience for a long time but to await the Lord his coming or message is a time better spent than in any humane affairs c. He very plainly and at large made manifest his conversion to God from the practices with wicked spirits Yea that he was ready to burn whatsoever he had of their trash and experiments That he would write in a book the manifold horrible Doctrine of theirs whereby they would have perswaded him ..... That Jesus was not God ..... That no prayer ought to be made to Jesus ..... That there is no 〈◊〉 ..... That mans 〈◊〉 doth go from one body to another childes quickening or 〈◊〉 ..... That as many men and women as are now have alwayes been That is so many humane bodies and humane souls neither m re nor lesse as are now have alwayes been ..... That the generati n of mankind from Adam and Eve is not an History but a writing which hath an other sense ..... No Holy Ghost they acknowledged ..... They would not suffer him to pray to Jesus Christ but would rebuke him saying that he robbed God of his honour c. And so of very many other most blasphemous Articles and Points of Doctrine whereof more shall be spoken in another place This forbearings of our Instructors presence I did expound or conjecture to be done greatly for the honour of God many wayes if the same were recorded somewhat near to the very manner of the thing as it was for so should appear to the posterity how truely it had been said before that he should be converted to God How truely God did prepare E. K. his soul to be a vessel cleansed and so made apt for his visiting of him in mercy and comfort whereby the life of E. K. now being amended and his dealing with the wicked clean left off should not be a scandal to the will of the Lord and to the greatness of his works as was noted unto us in the last Action Also I said that not onely his Conversion recorded should be a more evident argument of his so oft repeated Election But his patient attending this present day Δ two hours and a half and taking all things in such sort as became an humble and patient servant will be a more sure and evident argument that it was no light pang such as he hath made outward shew diverse times before but a very harty and sincere conversion such as without all doubt will be found very acceptable to the highest Moreover he declared that about nine or ten dayes past he did intend to have gotten away secretly by the help spiritual of those with whom he had so long dealt And therefore that till now he dealt hypocritically But whereas they to fore were ever accustomed to threaten him Beggery a thing which he most hated and feared That now he careth not if he should have want yea he took it neither to be shame or sin to beg and that he now made more account of God his favour and life eternal then he doth of all transitory wealth and riches and to be entangled within the danger of these wicked spirits their snares with all Also he now perceived his great errour wherein he was of late when he would for an assured temporal maintenance have forsaken the dealing with the wicked and so more willingly would have followed these actions without repining Saying now that he is no perfect Christian who for money must be hired to forsake the Devil and his works c. And as for the issue of these actions he would never either doubt or mislike howsoever they fell out assuring himself That God would do all things best and for his honour c. Many other his sayings very glodly I omit thinking these sufficient here Δ. O Almighty eternal and most mercifull God we thank glorifie and praise thee O blessed and most glorious Trinity we will for ever Magnifie thy unspeakable providence favour Election and Conversion unto thee O Blessed Jesu we will for ever extol thy loving kindnesse and long suffering toward us and thy Triumphant proceeding against Satan and his Ministers for thy Elect sake O holy Ghost the directer into all truth and comforter of thy Elect confirm and establish our hearts with thy gracious and continual zeal and love of truth purity of life Charitable humility and constant patience to thy well-pleasing untill the end That after this life through the mercy of the father and Merits of our Lord Jesus Christ and thy charitable embracing of us we may for ever enjoy the heavenly Kingdom among the blessed Angels and all the dignified company of mankind Amen Amen Amen Munday Junii 11. Mane hora 7¼ Cracoviae Δ. After our prayers due and thanks to the Almighty for his great mercies and power shewed in the conversion of E. K. we stayed still attending some shew as we were accustomed to receive and among divers our short discourses of our faith hope patience constancy humility and other our duties requisite in this action and in the service of God E. K. of himself said these sentences worthy to be recorded as the evident token of his sound and faithfull turning and intent to cleave unto the Lord. 1. E. K. I acknowledge my sins have deserved that this seven years I should have no shew or sight of his good Creatures 2. E. K. If I should sit thus for seven years attending the pleasure of God I would be contented 3. E. K. I repent me nothing of that I have done in forsaking those I was wont to have to do withall c. E. K. In the stone nothing appeared all this while of our sitting here Δ. Nihil visible apparuit in Chrystallo sacrato praeter ipsius Chrystalli visibilem formam ut E. K. dixit Δ. Hora 11. we left off so we attended 3. hours and 3. quarters Δ. I will affirm nothing in this case but this my conjecture may be recorded The cause of the non-appearance the last Friday and now this Mounday may be this 1. That as we lost and refused three dayes assigned by our instructours to finish all in So now we shall call and request three dayes and have nothing as these two dayes it hath fall'n out and it is possible one day more we shall have the like non-appearance Or else 2. According to the premisses Onely three dayes before our journey shall be begun we shall have that delivered us which in the three last dayes we should have received c. Or else 3. That great Caveat before noted on Saturday Junii 2. last past may have some forewarning of this our patience to be used after our Conversion unto God The words then recorded are these This Action shall never come to passe untill there be no remembrance of wickednesse or Hell left amongst you And yet after for a time you
