in the afternoon and that when they rowed out they should sing the Psalm My Shepherd is the living Lord c. and as the Lad going about to wake his Stepfather that lay in the bed with him he departed as before going out through the Roof-hole The next night Jan. 28 th he appeared unto him the fourth time as he was awake as before the young man asked him then who he was He answered that he was Saint John that lay in the bosom of Jesus at the Lords Supper and spake no more but vanished away as formerly He came to him the fifth time in the night presently after the Parish-Priest Mr. Peter Hellison Wiberg was gone to visit his Congregation and asked the Lad if he had declared to the Priest what he had commanded him the young man answered yes adding thereunto that the Priest found very strange that he should appear unto him who was so great a sinner Whereunto the pretended Saint John answered that the Lord had given many signes and giveth yet many signes that are not manifest These apparitions became publike in the Country and many of the simple hearers did put great faith therein Whereupon I did send for the said person examined him and earnestly admonished him that he should not have any thing to do with any such invented figments but the young man persisted in the same affirmation that the said matter was past in the foresaid manner wherefore I have written the matter of fact word by word as he told me But the fire being once kindled would not go out of its self but kindled it self further round about for his fame was spread over all the Islands and in all Congregations the common people giving great credit thereunto specially servants for holydays sake and begun in many places to keep Saturday holy believing really that it was just the person to whom this vision did appear being esteemed by all to be very Godly so that one had never heard a vain word or oath from his mouth Wherefore many observed dilligently their new holyday but they could not desist from cursing swearing besids this they invented themselves many other visions and spread them over the Country the people being much enclined thereunto yea these superstitious people out of their own foolish imagination framed themselves many arguments giving out that as God had illuminated some poor fishers he could also illuminate this simple man that God would make Apostles of Angels and spirits to preach unto men That the Devil cannot take the shape of an Angel can do no good and cannot speak a true or good word concluding thereby that the sanctification of the Saturday was commanded by God and pleasant unto him as a pious action in it self and therefore ought to be observed for the world coming near to its end which the Lord will shorten so ought the last day of the weeks work to be shortened and the day sanctified betimes Whereupon some did rise up against their teachers as it happened unto me by one of my Congregation who stood fast thereupon that to pray and keep holy was a good act and no sin and therefore none could blame or forbid it Thus the common people is easily deceived and deceiveth others Satan having thus suddenly seduced many simple persons from the true Prophetical word and their plainness in Christ I sent to every Priest in the Country a copy of the parties confession about his Visions and therewith added my censure thereof that they might read it in the Pulpit and the hearers know how much thereof babling people had invented and added to these visions and illusions of the Devil and they at the same time teach and mildly admonish their hearers that they should persist in the constant word of God and not seek another way of worshipping him then is contained therein or is injoyned by the Supream Magistrate to his honor how seeming holy soever it might be Having also in the explication of the Catechisme in my visitation according to the spirit and grace which God hath given me done my best to bring them out of that superstition and cunning error At last it happened that the said as was thought Godly person the following year by the induction of that unclean spirit fell into the sin of Fornication wherefore I did in writing refer the great scandal and disturbance he gave in the Congregations to the most Reverend Father in God Dr. John Swanning Archbishop of Zealand from whom I received orders according to the Kings Ordinance that I should publickly admonish the said Jacob Oleson out of the word of God as al●o absolve him of his sin and represent to the Inhabitants their great errour in the Church of Thors-haven when the Sessions should be kept and most of the people be present which was done accordingly in the year 1668 on S● Iohn the Baptist day whereby God be praised all this emotion was supprest so that nothing at all hath since been perceived of it That the Canded Reader may not yet frame himself strange imaginations or be so credulous as to believe any such illusions figments and cunning deceptions if Satan either here or elsewhere in the like or other manner practise any this example not being the first nor the last it being more difficult to be aware of the white devil then of the black I have thought fit to add hereunto a plain explication that one may the better know Satan though he change himself in the holyest and most beautiful Angel of Light It is no strange thing that such deceitful apparitions should happen to bring a man into superstition specially in this Country since the Prophecy of Christ must also be fulfill'd here amongst us saying Mat. 24 9 that in the later times there shall arise many false Christs and say here is Christ and there c. so that even the ●lect should be in danger of being seduc'd wherefore he also giveth a very earnest admonition thereupon saying do not go out to them and believe them not God permits such things to prove men and try whether they love him out of all their hearts and souls Deut 1●●3 But that none may suffer himself to be seduc'd by every bubble of temptation we will consider and ponderate all h ● circumstances of this deceitful vision As for the person that appeared in a white shining Garment and afterwards 〈◊〉 the Habit of a Priest and spoke pious words and admonitions we know that Satan can change himself into an Angel of light 2 Cor. Chap. 11. ver 14. yet the Divel cannot so disguise himself as to hide his Claws which is here perfectly seen by his giving himself out for Saint John that lay on the bosom of Christ at the Lords Supper and besides would teach men a particular Holiday and thereby draw them from the pure revealed word from which no body might swerve-either to the right hand or to the left from which one must neither take
