Seeing that power is given unto me and that truth is added unto my Ministery and I am become full of light and truth I will open your eyes and I will speak unto you the truth that you may shake off the lumpishnesse of your darknesse and profound ignorance and walk in truth with your fathers Give ear therefor diligently unto my voice and imbibe my sayings within the liquor of
your hearts that the sap of your understanding may receive strength and that you mayflourish with acceptable Truth as the chosen servants and Ministers of the Highest Totus mundus in maligno positus est and is become the open shop of Satan to deceive the Merchants of the Earth with all abhomination But what are you the Pedlers of such wares or the Carriers abroad of lies and false doctrine Do you think it is a small matter to tie the sense of Gods Scriptures and mysteries unto the sense and snatching of your Imaginations Do you count it nothing to sit in judgment against the Spirit of God leaving him no place but at your limitation Is it lawful before the Sonne of God to spend the whole dayes yea many yeares with the Sonnes of Satan the lying imps and deceivers of the World Are you so far entred into the shop of abhomination that you point unto the Sonne of God the time of his comming the descending of his Prophets and the time wherein he shall visit the Earth Moses durst not speak but from the Lords mouth The Prophets expounded not the Law but the voice of the Lord. The Sonne of God spake not his own words in that he was flesh but the words of his Father His Disciples taught not but through the holy Ghost Dare you therefore presume to teach and open the secret Chamber of the Highest being not called Tell me have you left your Merchandize and the counting of your mony deceitfully gotten to beome Teachers of the Word of God Are you not ashamed to teach before you understand yea are you not ashamed to lead away where you cannot bring home Hypocrites you are and void of the Holy Ghost lyars you are become and the enemies of Christ and his holy Spirit Peradventure you will say in reading the Scriptures we understand But tell me by what spirit you understand them what Angel hath appeared unto you or of which of the Heavens have you been instructed It may be you will say of the Holy Ghost O thou fool and of little understanding Dost thou not understand that the Holy Ghost is the School-master of the Church of the whole Flock Congregation of Christ If he be the School-master therefore over a multitude it followeth then that one doctrine taught by the Holy Ghost is a lesson or an understanding of a multitude But what multitude are of thine understanding or of what Congregation art thou Wilt thou say thou art scattered Thou speakest fasly thou art a runnagate But behold I teach thee and thy error is beforethy face Whosoever doth understand the Scriptures must seek to understand them by Ordinance and spiritual tradition But of what spiritual tradition understandest thou or by what Ordinance are the Scriptures opened unto thee Thou wilt say thou art informed by the Holy Fathers and by the same Spirit that they taught by the same Spirit thou understandest Thou sayest so but thou dost not so Which of thy Fore-fathers hath tied reason to the Word of God or the understanding of the Scriptures to the Discipline of the Heathen I say unto thee that thy Fore-fathers were dear unto Christ were pertakers of the heavenly visions and celestial comforts which visions and celestial comforts did not teach unto them a new exposition of the Scriptures but did confirm and give light unto the mysteries of the Holy Ghost spoken by the Apostles the ground-layers and founders of the Church Whatsoever therefore thou learnest of thy Fore-fathers thou learnest of the Apostles and whatsoever thou learnest of the Apostles thou hast by the Holy Ghost But if thou expound the Fathers after thy sense not after the sense of the Apostles thou hast not the Holy Ghost but the spirit of lying Therefore humble thy self and fall down before the Lord. Lay reason aside and cleave unto him Seek to understand his word according to his holy Spirit Which holy Spirit thou must needs find and shalt find in a visible Church even unto the end I will plainly say unto thee That Truth may appear mightily in light Whosoever is contrary unto the will of God which is delivered unto his Church taught by his Apostles nourished by the Holy Ghost delivered unto the World and by Peter brought to Rome by him there taught by his Successors held and maintained is contrary to God and to his Truth Luther hath his reward Calvin his reward The rest all that have erred and wilfully runne astray separating themselves from the Church and Congregation of Christ obstinately and through the instigation of their father the Devil have their reward Against whom the Sonne of God shall pronounce judgment saying Go you deceivers into Hell fire provided for your Father and his Children from the beginning You rise up amongst your selves saying The Pope is Antichrist For by this name you call him an evil man he may be and fall from his vocation But he can never be Antichrist For Antichrist is he the sonne of the Devil a man flesh and bloud born of a wicked and deceitful Harlot that shall seduce the people swell with the strength of his father and resist God in Earth amongst men as his father did in Heaven among the Angels utterly denying his Omnipotency and setting himself against him O you fools and of little understanding When unto the Apostles the Keyes of Heaven were given that is to say the same authority and power of Christ Jesus the Sonne of the Living God to forgive sinnes and to exclude sinners from the Kingdome of Heaven An when unto the same Apostles it was said also Come behind me Satan you have not under standing to see into the mysteries of the Highest if the Sonne of God did commend and reprehend his Disciples why may not therefor a Bishop be counted good and evil if it follow therefor that good aend evil may be a Bishop it followeth also that neither good nor evil addeth unto the Authority of a Bishop but unto his own life if he be good he reapeth the benefit of his goodnesse but if he be evil he is a Lyar because his Doctrine is against himself if therefore for the sinne of man God hath suffered many in the spirit of Ananias to sit in the holy place it is for your finnes sake and for your rebellious nature to be punished And not for the obscuring or darkning of his Church Open your eyes therefore and understand and cleave to the Church for the Church sake and not for the love of man Despise not the Church because of the transgressions of man But submit your neck under that holy yoke and ordinance which shall lead you to the Congregation governed by the Spirit of God wherein you shall under stand the secrets of God his Book to be interpreted according to the sense of your fathers whose understanding was the finger of the Holy Ghost you cannot authorise your selves and without
former accounted friends might shew themselves to the boy as Madimi Il 〈◊〉 and chiefly Vriel because as he was first which appeared to the joyning of E. K. and me together so he might be also the Director in the translating of E. K. his office to Arthur Then said he I marvel if you had no apparition here for I somewhat thinking of Arthur and his proceeding in the 〈◊〉 of skrying came here into the gallery and I heard you pray and opening the window I looked out and I saw a great number going in and out of this Chappel at the little hole in the glass window I saw Madimi Il and many other that had dealed with us heretofore but shewed themselves in very filthy order and Vriel appeared and 〈◊〉 all to be of God and good And therefore I wonder if here you have no shew perhaps there is somewhat but Arthur seeth it not Δ. True it is and how should I help him herein seeing I cannot yet see or skry E. K. I will come and see if there be any thing Δ. I pray you do Note and so E. K. looked towards the stone and he by and by said Here appeareth somewhat and pointed to Arthur where and asked him if he saw any thing and he said No. Then said E. K. I see like a white Marble square table or book lying on a wooden desk Δ. I pray you Sir take the pains to look and discern what is here shewed E. K. I see written upon that book Beata quae per peccatum mihi domum corruentem hominibus integram reddit E. K. Now a leaf of that book is turned open and there is written on it but I cannot reade it yet Now I see it Ego sum qui dedi daturus sum vobis legem ex qua mortalibus perpetua requies felicitas sit ventura E. K. Now another leaf is turned over and appeareth written Estote ergo tales quales me meosque decet rati coram me ambulate E. K. Now turneth over the leaf of it self Ne populus esuriens suiens negligentia obstinatia vestra vel ruat vel saltem E. K. Now the leaf turneth Pro tempore alimento careat E. K. Now the desk and book or table is gone Δ. Note By and by after while E. K. did look into the stone he said E. K. I see a hand appear a very great one white with the fingers spred abroad E. K. The hand is gone but there remaineth writing Videbitis audietis brevi omnes Si interim E. K. It is as if it were upon the side of a white Globe afar off The Globe turneth so swiftly that I cannot well read it Animi ad meliora compoti E. K. The Globe turneth so swiftly that I cannot read it till it stand still Sese mihi meis E. K. Now again the Globe is turned most swiftly Filiorum more subjicient Si vero per meipsum loquor jure alieni vagabundi alias vobismet ipsis disimperitis non oculo sed corpori immo omnibus membris casus ruina paratur Quales enim in futuro eritis vobis ut scivetis nullo modo licet Majora enim à superis mortalibus prae foribus sunt quotidieque instant quam vel primo vel secundo etatis modulo fuerunt Qui aures erigat Cui intellectus sapiat Omnia peccata apud me postponuntur huic insaniens propter me sapiat Immo adulterizans propter me in sempiternum benedicetur premio afficietur celesti E. K. Now the Globe is gone Δ. Gloria Patri Filio Spiritui sancto erat in principio nunc semper in secula seculorum Amen So we left off Trebonae Actionis Tertiae altera pars Preces ad Deum Omnipotentem pro sua veritate nobis impartienda ad nominis suo laudem honorem gloriam Δ. Note Arthur was set to the stone but nothing appeared E. K. had brought the powder with him as he was bidden to do Then I desired him to apply himself to see as he was wont And so he did E. K. Here appear all in the stone that appeared yesterday unto me in the air in that most disorderly and filthy manner They are in the like apparel as yesterday Δ. O God confirm us in thy truth sor thine own honour and glory and suffer us not to be overcome with any temptation but deliver us from all evil now and ever E. K. There appeared Madimi Il. and the rest And so they are here but now all the rest are gone and onely Madimi remaineth Madimi openeth all her apparel and her self all naked and sheweth her shame also E. K. Fie on thee Devil avoid hence with this filthiness c. Mad. In the Name of God why finde you fault with mee Δ. Because your yesterdayes doings and words are provocations to fin and unmeet for any godly creature to use Mad. What is sin Δ. To break the Commandement of God Mad. Set that down so Mad. If the self-same God give you a new Commandement taking away the former form of sin which he limited by the Law What remaineth then Δ. If by the self-same God that gave the Law to Moses and gave his New Covenant by Christ who sealed it by his blood and had his witnesses very many and his Apostles instructed by his holy Spirit who admonished us of all cleanness in words and works yea and in thoughts if by the same God hose former Laws and Doctrines be abrogated and that sufficient proof and testimony may be had that it is the same God Then must the same God be obeyed For only God is the Lord of Lords King of Kings and Governour of all things E K She kneeleth and holdeth up her hands Mad. The Laws of God and of his Son Christ stablished by the testimony of his Disciples and Congregation and by the force and power of his holy Spirit are not in any particular vocation abrogated but rather confirmed For 〈◊〉 it falleth out that God being offended at the wickedness of any man or of some man private sendeth down his Spirit of Death infecting and tempting another mans minde so that he 〈◊〉 void of Reason and riseth up against him whom God is offended with and striketh him so that he dyeth This before man is accounted sin before God it shall be imputed unto him for righteousness Even so whatsoever the Spirit of God teacheth us from him though it appear sin before man is righteousness before him Therefore assure your selves that whatsoever is seen and heard amongst you is from above and is a sign and 〈◊〉 even this day before you for I that touched thy Son might also have taken away his breath But O you are of little understanding But behold I teach you That unto those that are accounted righteous through the good will of God sin is justly punished but not as unto the wicked For
is his strength that hath armed himself with it In the Serpents belly there is nothing clean neither with unhonest persons ungodly I mean is there any pure society Light agreeth not with Darknesse nor vertue with vice therefore be you of one and in one that you may agree and have the reward of one Behold it is said I will part bounds between the just and the unjust I will suffer the Enemy to sowe discord to the intent that those that are my people may be separated and have a dwelling by themselves Peruse the Scripture it is alwayes seen that the Spirit of God forceth Satan in spight of his head to separate the evil from the good by discord and herein the Devil worketh against himself We good Angels keep secret the Mysteries of God things that are to come we alwayes keep close with this exception The form of our Commandment Truth it is that a Commission is granted not onely to enquire of thee but also to attach thee and that by the Council If he go down he shall be attached therefore tempt not God Δ. But if he tarry here and his being here so known as it is it is likely that he shall be attached here to my no small grief or disgrace What is your counsel herein She said ..... It is written misery shall not enter the doors of him whom the Highest hath magnified DIXIT DICO DICTUM SIT The world shall never prevaile against you Δ. In respect of the Book the Scrowl and the Powder to be communicated What is your judgement or mind seeing when he was coming from Islington with them he was threatned to be pulled in pieces if he came with them to me ..... All that is spoken of is in very deed vanity The book may be used to a good purpose They were wicked ones But as these things are the least part of this action so are they not much to be looked after Δ. As concerning the Powder I beseech you what is your knowledge of it ..... It is a Branch of Natures life It is appointed for a time and to a purpose Δ. As concerning the earthes of the Eleven places being with expedition ..... What is now to be done with them ..... It was a foresight of God if they had been there now they had utterly perished Δ. O Jesus that is a marvellous thing ..... Helas that is nothing Δ. By nature they could not have perished in so short time ..... I have said E. K. Tell us your name ..... If you will remember my counsel I will tell you my name E. K. Your counsel was by piece-meale told me that I cannot remember it but in general ..... You do and have and I am almost HATH Δ. I understand you to be AT H in sigillo Emeth AT H ..... So am I in the number of Gods Elect. Δ. Shall not I make meanes to Mr. Richard Young as one of the higher Commissioners to do my companion here some good AT H ..... Trouble your self when you need E. K. She spake this somewhat sharply Get your friends to fignifie down good report of you Come not there in many years Δ. As concerning my writing of the holy Book how shall I do by reason of the perfect writing it in the Due Characters seeing many words are written so as the pronunciation and the Orthographie do hardly seem to agree AT H ..... You shall have a School-master sufficient to read unto you Δ. Where shall I begin AT H ..... Let him lead you to that who is within you Δ. As concerning Isabel Lister who is vext of a wicked spirit how well have I executed that which was prescribed me or how well doth it work AT H ..... Friend It is not of my charge Remember the true path that leadeth unto true honour where there sitteth a True and Just GOD who grant you his Direction and establishment of perfect life Δ Amen Amen Amen E. K. She is gone Junii 9. a Meridie hera 5. Δ. Very long I prayed in my Oratory and at my Deske to have answer or resolutions of divers doubts which I had noted in a paper and which doubts I read over distinctly they concerned the preparation of things about the Table of practice and other things above my Lamin and Stone but answer came none neither in the Stone did any thing appear no not the Golden Curtain but the Stone was of his natural Diaphanitie But I held on in pittiful manner to request some advertisement if for any our trespasses or offences this unlooked for alteration from former dealing had hapned c. At length a voice came from behind E. K. over his head and said thus A voyce ..... The judgements of our God are most profound and hard in the understanding of man There is silence above let there therefore be patience amongst you I have said Δ. Upon this answer I began to discourse of divers causes of this silence and divers manners of silences and in the end I became in a great and sorrowfull heavinesse and fear of the wrath or displeasure of God conceived for some our misbehaviour towards him since our last dealing whereupon I prayed long at my Desk standing for mercy comfort counsel and some exposition of the former sentence After a long time thus passing there appeared one in the very top of the frame of the shew-stone much like Michael Who said ..... Write for I must be gone Silence there is in heaven for the Governours of the earth are now before the Lord the doings of their seats are now disclosed every thing is NOTED For that God will be righteous in all his doings There is not this day any one that governeth the people upon earth but his government is disclosed and his government is set open and his faults revealed They without number cry Lord let thy vengeance come The earth sayeth Be it so Sathan is before the Lord He hath garnished himself with Garlands as a Conquerour and what he saith is wonderfull Therefore shall the Lord open his mouth and curse the earth and all living creatures For iniquity hath gotten the upper hand Publickly the States of mankinde in the world are condemned We are all silent and ready with our Viols to powre the wrath of God upon them when he saith BE IT SO. Therefore be you patient For our patience in an universal silence We look for the mouth of Justice But L O The Lord saith unto the Lord lift up thy eyes O God Behold the Dignity of thy workmanship yet suffer for awhile I have a people that will forsake their cruelty and put off their Garments that stink of abomination in whom thy name shall be magnified and our glory in heaven more exalted But as thou wilt so be it Behold I speak in body because I tremble as at the force of thy great indignation Notwithstanding we will what
I mean in respect of the profoundnesse thereof The first leaf as you call it is the last of the Book And as the first leaf is a hotchpot without order So it signifieth a disorder of the World and is the speech of that Disorder or Prophesie Write the Book after your order backward but alter not the form of letters I speak in respect of the places E. K. Now a beame shooteth through him from the Stone and so through his head and out of his mouth his face being from E. K. toward Δ. ..... Write the 49. You have but 48 already Write first in a paper apart E. K. Said that Galvah her head is so on bright fire that it cannot be looked upon The fire so sparkleth and glistreth as when an hot iron is smitten on an Anvil especially at the pronouncing of every word It is to be noted also that upon the pronouncing of some words the Beasts and all Creatures of the World every one shewed themselves in their kind and form But notably aH Serpents Dragons Toads and all ugly and hideous shapes of beasts which all made most ugly countenances in a manner assaulting E. K. but contrariwise coming to and fawning upon Galvah It is to be noted also that by degrees came a second beame and a third beame of light into Galvah from the Stone and all the three together appeared the third participating of the other two The second beame came at the word Larb pronounced when also Frogs and Serpents appeared c. The third beame upon the word Exi pronounced Note also that the manner of the firy brightnesse was such and the grisely countenances of the Monsters was so tedious and greivous and displeasant to E. K. that partly the very grief of his minde and body and partly the suspecting the Creatures to be no good Creatures neither such greivous sights necessary to be exhibited with the Mysteries delivering unto us had in a manner forced him to leave off all But I again with reasonable exhorting of him and partly the providence and decree Divine wrought some mitigating of his grief and disquieting Gal. ..... These are these seven Δ. Blessed and praised for ever be He who is one and three and whom mighty ministers or governours do incessantly glorifie 1583. Gal. ..... Thy folly and weaknesse is great God comfort thee Δ. He spoke to E. K. for his excessive disquietnesse and suspecting of the verity or goodnesse of Galvah Δ. Note Now the beames were all retired into the stone again likewise all the Creatures and Vermine or ugly shaped Beasts are all gone We were willed also divers times to pray At sundry pangs of E. K. his grief and disquietnesse sundry speeches were uttered by the spiritual Creature among which these noted ..... He that is angry cannot see well From him that is perverse God turneth his face The hindrance of punishment is the mercy of God which imputeth not sin unto them whom he bath Chosen Therefore be patient and reconcile thy self to God E. K. I do it with all humility and sincerity of minde and beseech God to help me with his grace for of my self I cannot do so yet I am Thomas Didymas I will believe these things when I see the fruits of them Δ. He seemed yet again to doubt whether this Creature and the rest partakers of this action were soundly good and void of all halting or abusing us E K. How can you perswade me that ye be no deluders Gall. ..... I will prove it by contrary The servants of darknesse have their Garments stained their mouths stinck of blasphemy and lies but our Garments are no such neither do our lips speak any untruth and therefore we are of God for whosoever is of the truth is of God Moreover the Devil is known by his works for the spirit of God controlleth them the spirit of God agreeth with us and useth no controlment against it therefore it is not Daulesse In one thing thou mayest know us differing from Devils The wicked spirits alwayes abhor this word Mercy But it is the Doctrine that we preach in respect towards you we are not now then evil But this way teacheth hardnesse and is a stumbling block to the wicked but the beauty of the 〈◊〉 is not able to be expressed Happy are they which are covered with the Pearls of Righteousnesse and on whose head there is a Garland of godlinesse For unto those belongeth to taste of the Fountain of true wisdom Is it not written of this book that it teacheth nature in all degrees The judgement hereof is Intellectual And wash your feet and follow me Δ.

Jub Vnto men according unto their deserts and the first excellency of their Soul God hath appointed a good Governour or Angel from amongst the orders of those that are Blessed For every Soul that is good is not of one and the self same dignification Therefore according to his excellency we are appointed as Ministers from that order whereunto his Excellency accordeth To the intent that he may be brought at last to supply those places which were Glorified by a former And also to the intent that the Prince of Darknesse might be counterpoised in Gods Justice Amongst the which I am one which am the Keeper and Defender of this man present which carry the Triumpt and Ensign of Victories continually before him as a reproach to my adversaries and his and to confirm the dignity whereunto he is called by the presence of this Character E.

Note At this Instant Tanfeld came rashly upon us into my Study we thinking that the Study door had been shut the Lord Laskie being gone out of my Study the other way through my Oratory to take Tanfelds message from the Court and having dispatched him rested without and Tanfeld having commendations to me as he said from some at London fearing least he should be be sent away by and by without doing these came undiscretly upon us to our no little amazing and great fearing his rash opinion afterward of such things as he could not perceive perfectly what my Companion and I were doing Hereupon Jubanladace gave this sentence or declared this the fatal end of Tanfeld Juban ..... It is said He that entreth in thus rashly Lo five moneths are yet to come and fishes of the Sea shall devour his carkase ..... As before whatsoever he taketh in hand shall prosper for my names sake For thus it is said and these words are the words wherewithal I do annoint him for than the comfort of the Highest there is not a sweeter Inunction Look not for the marveiles of this World as the wicked man in his heart doth but study to please him with whom ye might rejoyce for ever You sons of men What do ye seek after Do ye hunt after the swiftnesse of the winds or are you imagining a form unto the Clouds or go ye forth to hear the braying of an Asse which passeth away with the swiftnesse of the air Seek for true wisdom For it beholdeth the brightest and appeareth unto the lowest Cecill hateth him unto the heart and desireth he were gone hence Many other do privily sting at him I cannot properly say sting him But I say I will pour down my wrath upon them and they shall be confounded in the midst of their own iniquity Let my faithful live and be like the fruitful Vinyard Be it so Δ. For his return homeward What is your advice perhaps he wanteth necessary provision and money Juban ..... He shall be holpen here and elsewhere miraculously I speak as it were to himself Let him go so soon as he can conveniently Δ. I say again perhaps he wanteth money but the Treasures of the Lord are not scant to them whom he favoureth Jub ..... His help shall be strange which hath not been often seen The Queen loveth him faithfully and hath fallen out with Cecil about him Lecester flattereth him His doings are looked into narrowly But I do alwayes inwardly direct him and I will minister such comfort unto him as shall be necessary in the midst of all his doings When this Country shall be invaded then shall you passe into his Country and by this means shall his Kingdom be established again This is more then my duty This is the first time he hath been here and it is wonderful The second coming is not long unto and then shall he be wonderful Destitutus à me premitur à malo He is now destitute of me Δ. Note as soon as he had said this sentence he seemed to sink through the Table like a spark of fire and seemed to make haste to his Charge I mean the Lord Laskie whereby we perceive-the frailty of man to be great when he is Destitute yea but after this manner of this good Angel Benedictum sit nomen Dei nostri nunc in sempiterna saecula Amen Thursday 20 Junii 1583.

Lasky there appeared one very big in the aire all in a white Garment full of plaights and tucked up very dubble with a myterlike Attire on his head and a crosse on the forepart of it He willed E. K. to speak to me and to tell me of his being there But he refused and expresly denied it partly by reason Galluah said that he would not deal with us but every seventh day being every Monday till the actions were ended and therefore he supposed this Creature to be an illuder and partly he urged some evident token or proof of their well-meaning towards us in Act c. He went down and still this Creature followed him with a drawn sword requiring him to declare these words to me but E. K. a long while bad him declare them himself unto me if he would and said why should he not c. At length my Companion came appeased and contented to hear what this Creature would say who at length said thus ....

Upon the perusing and examining this prayer Gabriel revealed unto us I found certain imperfections and some doubts wherein we thought it good to ask counsel and require Gabriel's advise That the prayer might be perfect as he might well like of to Gods honour and our comforts At the length Nothing appearing to the eye but the noise of a sound about E.

While I was about to write the Title of the second side of the seventh leaf and E.

I am of the word and by the word I say Seal up those things thou hast And I my self will take charge of Galvah to the end Ad evitandum 〈◊〉 Δ. Truth it is it must grow to a great mislikeing grudge that God should seem to have laid burdens on our shoulders greater than we are able to bear and then if we fail and faile under them he would find a cause not to perform his promises made for carrying of those burdens Mother ..... Whatsoever is thy part the same will I perform I will put thy yoke in this one thing upon my shoulders Δ. Will you then write it as I should have written it Mother ..... I have said I will Δ.

My heart did throb oftentimes this day and thought that E. K. did intend to absent himself from me and now upon this warning I was confirmed and more assured that it was so Whereupon seeing him make such haste to ride to Islington I asked him why he so hasted to ride thither And I said if it were to ride to Mr. Harry Lee I would go thither also to be acquainted with him seeing now I had so good leasure being eased of the book writing Then he said that one told him the other day that the Duke did but flatter him and told him other things both against the Duke or Palatine and me c. I answered for the Duke and my self and also said that if the fourty pound annuity which Mr. Lee did offer him was the chief cause of his minde setling that way contrary to many of his former promises to me that then I would assure him of fifty pound yearly and would do my best by following of my sute to bring it to passe as soon as possibly I could and thereupon did make him promise upon the Bible Then E. K. again upon the same Bible did swear unto me constant friendship and never to forsake me And moreover said that unlesse this had so faln out he would have gone beyond the Seas taking ship at New-Castle within eight dayes next And so we plight our faith each to other taking each other by the hands upon these points of brotherly and friendly fidelity during life which Covenant I beseech God to turn to his honour glorie and service and the comfort of our brethren his Children here in earth Tuesday Julii 2. à meridie Circa Horam 2.

K. He spake these four words in another Tune E. K. He looketh up to heaven A voyce Blessed art thou which respectest thy Justice and not the sins of man Ur. This is the voice of the Angel that now taketh place Δ. May we be so bold as to demand the name of that Angel Ur. No It is not lawfull I swear by all things that are contained within this holy book By the seat of God and him that sitteth thereon That the words which have been spoken in this Action and shall be now spoken by me are true Three years are yet to come even in this moneth that beginneth the fourth year shall the Son of perdition be known unto the whole world Suddenly creeping out of his hole like an Adder leading out her young ones after her to devour the dust of the earth Δ.

K. It thundreth in the stone Of thee pointing to E. K. thus sayeth the Lord. Thou art flesh and become stuhborn Thy judgement waxeth dull and thy heart sealed But I will unseal thee and thou shalt be partaker But because thou hast offended me not with power in worldly things I will make thee a great Seer Such an one as shall judge the Circle of things in nature But heavenly understanding and spiritual knowledge shall be sealed up from thee in this world For thou art become stony and hast cried out against my Saints Notwithstanding your life shall be together Thou shalt be a workman of nature looking into the Chambers of the earth The Treasures of men Many things are pluckt from thee which were thine But not from you because I have promised them What is be that bridled the windes Δ. At your prayers Or who is he that preserved you from the bloudy imaginations of men and hatreds of the world invincible Is it not be that is God of Heaven and Earth Is it not he that made both flesh and Soul Yea even he it is that sayeth Fly from the wickednesse and society with Devils Leave off to sin against the Lord for he is of great power This is the last time that any shew shall be made in this stone For lo the promise of the most highest shall be fulfilled E.

As I was in my upper Study and had gathered the holy words of the second and third call and had conferred them with their English delivered also unto us E. K. came up the stairs and so went into his Study and came out again and as he was going down the staires I opened my Study door and saluted him He thereupon came up again and came into my Study And there I shewed him what I had done and how I had some understanding of those holy words their significations by reason of due applying the English to the word Christus in tending thereby to have induced E. K. to likē the better of the manner of our friends due and Methodical proceeding with us and told him that unlesse of this strange language I should have these words delivered unto us Letter by Letter we might erre both in Orthography and also for want of the true pronunciation of the words and distinctions of the points we might more misse the effect expected But as on Tuesday last so now again he said our Teachers were deluders and no good or sufficient Teachers who had not in two years space made us able to understand or do somewhat and that he could in two years have learned all the seven Liberal sciences if he had first learned Logick c. wherefore he would have no more to do with them any manner of way wished himself in England and said that if these books were his that he would out of hand burn them and that he had written to my Lord by Pirmis that he took our Teachers to be decelvers and wicked and no good Creatures of God with many such speeches and reasons as he thought of force to diswade himself from any more dealing with them But willed me to use John my Boy as my Skryer for that these spiritual Creatures were not bound unto him c. I answered unto all these parcels and reasons as time served declaring my perfect trust in God that seeing I have many years desired and prayed for wisdome such as these Actions import at his hands and by such means as to his Divine Majesty seemeth best that he would not either mislike my prayer or abuse my Constant hope in his goodnesse and mercy Therefore I concluded that I referred all to the mercifull will of God and doubted nothing at the length to be satisfied of my request and prayer made unto him So he went from me this second time .... God lighten his heart with knowledge of the truth if it be his Divine will and pleasure Note Permis went on last Wednesday morning and had received our Letters after noon on Tuesday last But on Monday before the wicked Prince of darknesse did what he could to hinder our proceeding On Thursday Tabius brother to my Lord Laskie his wife brought news to Cracovia that my Lord Laskie was coming to Cracovia ward Emericus came from Kesmarks and returned back again Tabius rode from Cracovia toward Kesmark Saturday Aprilis 21. à Meridie After our prayers made appeared shortly Gabriel and Nalvage E. K. propounded six questions orderly which had bred great doubt in this fantafie and requested their answers Δ. He would have our spiritual friends to promise him the performance of the Prints Gab. ...... If we were Masters of our own doings we might well promise But we are servants and do the will of our master But let me ask thee one question Dost thou not think that all things are possible with God E. K. I do so and I know so Gab. ...... Then is there no cause why thou should distrust Let him that is a servant and is commanded to go go and let not the earth rise up and strive against the plow man What sin is it when the creature riseth up and saith in his heart Let the Lord make a Covenant with me considering he is a bond man E. K. They seem both the voices at once to come to my eare None but he that becometh disobedient and refuseth his Master Δ ....... Δ would do so Gab. Nal. ...... These things that is to say this Doctrine delivered by us is of God and of his mercies granted unto you which cannot be in vain and therefore to be performed for the secret determinations of God are unknown unto us He never heard of any man that would ask if God would perform his promises E. K. By August next What if it were a hundred Augusts you may be a weary before August next as the Children of Israel were of their Manna E. K. Why joyn you numbers with these letters and added none with those of the former Table Brother what is the cause that all the World is made by numbers The Numbers we speak of are of reason and form and not of merchants Δ. I beseech you as concerning the powder whereof he thinketh that he hath made due assay of it as if it should have been the Philosophers Stone and so affirmed to be by the minister of this action I beseech you so to answer the thing as his reason may be satisfied Δ. They gave no answer hereunto but proceeded in the former matter of Numbers Gab. ...... Every Letter signifieth the member of the substance whereof it speaketh Every word signifieth the quiddity of the substance The Letters are separated and in confusion and therefore are by numbers gathered together which also gathered signifie a number for as every greater containeth his lesser so are the secret and unknown forms of things knit up in their parents Where being known in number they are easily distinguished so that herein we teach places to be numbred letters to be elected from the numbred and proper words from the letters signifying substantially the thing that is spoken of in the center of his Creator whereby even as the minde of man moved at an ordered speech and is easily perswaded in things that are true so are the creatures of God stirred up in themselves when they hear the words wherewithal they were nursed and brought forth For nothing moveth that is not perswaded neither can any thing be perswaded that is unknown The Creatures of God understand you not you are not of their Cities you are become enemies because you are separated from him that Governeth the City by ignorance E.

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.

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

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. We went to Dinner to our Host his house Δ. Thanks honour glory and praise be unto the Almighty Trinity now and ever Amen Δ. After we had been at Dinner they read over the premisses and considered them quietly E. K. Here he is Δ. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the highest to whom be all honour and glory Amen Uriel ..... Lo Lo Lo I sa which of you hath an eye that seeth not no the world the vanity and folly of worldlings and such as are choked with the mildew of vanity and worldly promotion For thus sayeth the Lord wherein could I shew my self more either unto this age or unto this Emperour then with rebuking him for his sins from Heaven Who is able to promise more or to perform assureder then I which lighten and make all things Yet they believe not 〈◊〉 they rejoyce in their own folly and despise me yea because they despise thee whom I have sent with my word unto them Δ. Is despised of Rud and Curtz E. K. Well thus sayeth the Lord they have despised their own Garlands and have trodden their food under feet They have rent their Robes in pieces and have cast them into the waves They are become masterlisse Dogs for I have forsaken them And lo Rodolph I will scatter thy bones and thy head shall be devided in many pieces I will bring in thy enemies over all thy Kingdoms and for thy sake shall many thousands perish He also that thinketh himself wise if he dye a natural death then say I am not neither that I live with my people But because thou hast done that which I commanded thee and hast not forgot my name Lo I will plant thee my self and thou shalt grow and out of thee shall spring a mighty and a terrible sword whose Hilts shall be as the Carbuncle and edge like unto the sting of a Dragon and I will not suffer thee to fall neither shall thine enemies ride upon thee Truely truely thou shalt know I am with thee But be patient for Satan hunteth hard after thee Thou shalt have alwayes a * prick even unto thy last grave But therein shall thy faith be exalted and thy reward great .....
