so much doth the gift that is given thee from above excel all earthly treasure Notwithstanding because that Manna is loathsom unto thee behold what is said unto thee this day Thou art made free neither shalt thou any time hereafter be constrained to see the judgment of the highest or to hear the voices of the heavens But thou art a stumbling-block unto many Notwithstanding my Spirit shall dwell with thee and in the works of thy hands thou shalt receive comfort And the power which is given thee of seeing shall be diminished in thee and shall dwell upon the first-begotten Son of him that sitteth by thee as I have * before said In the mean season shall he be exercised here before me until the time come that his eyes shall be opened and his ears receive passage towards the highest And these fourteen dayes shall it be a time unto thee of chusing or refusing For I will not cast thee away neither out of my house unless it be long of thy own ignorance and wilful despising of my great benefit If thou therefore be weary of it the fourteenth day hence bring hither and lay before me the Powder which thou hast for thou hast offended me as a false steward in taking out of that which is not thine own I will no longer dally with you but will give unto you according unto your works Δ. O God be merciful unto us and deal not with us according to the wickedness frowardness and blindness of our hearts Amen NOTE Δ. UPon this former part of the Third Action General where my first begotten Son namely Arthur was assigned to the Ministry of seeing and hearing in place and stead of E. K. if he would utterly refuse the same office hitherto by him executed and by him to be executed until the seven actions general finished And that the same Childe and Son in the mean space that is to say between the day of the part of Action received and the end of the same determined to be fourteen dayes after should be exercised before God I thereupon thinking that E. K. would should or best could instruct and direct the Childe in that exercise did alwayes await that E. K. would of himself call the Boy to that Exercise with him and so much the rather because he said that he was very glad now that he should have a Witness of the things shewed and declared by spiritual Creatures And that he would be more willing to do what should be so enjoyned to him to do then if onely he himself did see and that for divers causes But when E. K. said to me that I should exercise the Childe and not he and that he would not I thereupon appointed with my self to bring the Childe to the place and to offer him and present him to the service of Seeing and Skrying from God and by Gods assignment and of the time of fourteen dayes yet remaining being the 15 16 17 dayes of April and next before the 18 day the day assigned to end the Action in to have the Childe exercised in them And thereupon contrived for the Childe this order of Prayer ensuing Die Mercurii summo mane die Aprilis 15. anno 1587. Trebonae In the Name of God the Father of God the Son and of God the Holy Ghost Amen Glory be to God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Ghost As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end Amen O Almighty and Everlasting the true and living God have metcy pity and compassion on my father John Dee and on me Arthur Dee who being now called hither by thy assignment am now here present and ready in all humility obedience and faithfulness to serve thy Divine Majesty with all the gifts and graces which thou hast hither to endued me with and with all other which of thy most bountiful and fatherly mercy thou wilt henceforward bestow upon me Lighten therefore O Almighty God mine eyes and open thou mine ears Quicken Instruct and Confirm in me and unto me my discretion judgement understanding memory and utterance that I may be a true and perfect Seer Hearer Declarer and Witness of such things which either immediately of thy Divine Majesty or mediately by the ministry of thy holy mighty and faithful Angels shall be manifested declared or shewed unto me now and at all times and occasions for the advancing of thy Praise Honour and Glory Amen Hereupon Wednesday morning the 15 of this April I brought the Childe to the holy Table being in order of the furniture thereto belonging and set before him the Stone in the frame my first sanctified Stone and caused him on his knees to say the foresaid Prayer And I also praid to the Childs hearing other Prayers to God for the purpose in hand and at his coming to look and see in the Stone There appeared to him as he judged divers little square figures with pricks and divers other figures and lines which I caused him with his own hand to imitate upon a paper with pen and ink The lines were white and some of the pricks also but other of the pricks were black as of ink Arth. Two old men with black beards and with golden Crowns upon their heads do appear One is now gone this holdeth his hands before him like a Maid Arth. Now in the place of those square marks I see two Lions the one very exactly and gaping About the upper brim of the Stone they appear and the Lions feet be waxen greater and greater I see another man from the breast upward I can see no hair on his head I see a great company of feet and their garments skirts somewhat above their ankles and they are like womens kirtles with gards about them I see another man without a doublet in his shirt and with a white Cloke about him hanging his hands down by his sides Δ. Nothing else esteemed or judged to be shewn in the Stone by the Childe we ceased that Exercise and committed all to Gods mercies Δ. On Thursday and Friday I determined each of them two dayes that the Childe shall thrice in the day be put to the Exercise and each time repeat the Prayer prescribed thrice Δ. In the forenoon I brought the Childe to the Exercise and he said as followeth I see two men with Crowns of gold upon their heads their apparel is black and white I cannot see their feet Their faces are white their eyes are black like spots of ink There appear now two other without Crowns of the which one standeth whole before and of the other I see nothing but the head which standeth behinde the first I see not any with Crowns now The apparel of him is white that I see I see no hands of him I see nothing now The squares and pricks appear again as yesterday And I doubted it was something of the Glass it self as there were in it certain

Amen John Dee I am Raphael one of the blessed and elect Angels of the Almighty and at his will and his good pleasure he hath commanded me to appear here at this time to set forth the will and pleasure of the Almighty God John Dee my message that I have at this time to deliver unto thee is of great force in that God would have thee to do And whereas it was said at my last appearing at this beholder that I would appear again and now it hath pleased God to send me to perform and make known according to that which was then said that all things before promised should be made plainly known what Gods will is to be done in all that hath been before said Now I do make known unto you the plain meaning and understanding thereof First th u hast been promised the secret knowledge and understanding of the Philosophers Stone of the Book of St. Dunstans to have the knowledge of them It is since a long time as thou knowest to mans reason and to the minde of man a few years is with man thought to be big and now God hath been thy keeper and most chiefly created thee and hath suffered thee to have time to live unto this age and furthermore thou dost like unto thy Nativity and considering thy great age that the course of Nature for age is likely by thy reason to take place BUT John Dee thou 〈◊〉 well remember unto whom in the holy Scriptures that God in his mercies did adde and put to fifteen years longer than the time was set him So think not but God in his mercies will be as great unto thee And now to come to the matter whereby to lot thee to understand why thou hadst not thus these rare gifts and promises performed unto thee it was the will f God to keep them away and to suffer the heart of thy supreme head and governour under God to be hardned against thee that thou art no better account made of unto him but to be such an one that doth deal with Devils and by Sorcery as you commonly term them Witchcraft and who doth and who hath informed him to be thus evil and hardly informed against thee but only the Devil and by the hatred of thy secret enemy whom thou knowest Salisbury I mea and all malice and enemies that he can by his Devils Maserien Hermeloe the four wicked ones the which are accounted the four Rulers of the Air whose names be Ories Egym Paynim and Mayrary They be the Devils that he doth deal withall that he through their enticing and his he thinketh to be pleasant and good wisdom that he receiveth at their hands That he and his Devils do seek thy overthrow in all good things and doth and shall so far forth as God will suffer them seek all the malice and hindrance in all good causes to be done to thy good Therefore now John Dee I am to let thee to understand plainly what Gods will and his great purpose is to have thee to do although it may seem hard to thy good liking considering as thou dost think the weakness of thy body and course of age yet notwithstanding that same God that hath been thy protector and keeper until this present time of years that same merciful God shall keep thee and make thee able to perform things that shall be made known unto thee for God will not bestow such rare gifts as I have before said amongst those which be unworthy of such great blessings from the Almighty For God will not bestow Pearls amongst those that will not believe nor understand that God hath any such blessings to bestow upon men for I say unto thee John Dee that if God should or would bestow those blessings upon thee even at this present or at any time to be shortly performed and delivered unto thee Then except that thou shouldst make all things plainly known of Gods secrets delivered unto thee unto thy supreme head under God here upon earth and likewise thy enemy to be partaker in these secrets and great gifts of God if thou wouldst not perform as much unto them as God should give wisdom unto thee therein thy life would and should by the envy and malice of those wicked ones and by thy great enemy thou shouldst speedily be cut off from this life but God will not have it so So if thou wilt do as God shall command thee by this message thou shalt have all these messages promises and wisdom both for the Philosophers Stone the book of S. Dunstans the secret wisdom of that Jewel that was delivered as thou knowest in what manner it is plainly known unto thee So now it is the will of God to suffer thy supreme Head his heart to be hardned against thee and likewise for thy great enemy for his wicked instructions against thee God doth suffer it so to be even as Pharaoh his heart was hardned against the children of God so standeth the matter against thee with them It is the will of God so to suffer it to their great account that they shall have to make when it shall please the Almighty that that time shall be that they must render unto God their accounts Now John Dee it is the will of the Almighty to send me Raphael to deliver unto thee

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. .....

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

answered with the first words I spoke to day Δ. Deo Opt. Max. sit omnis honor laus Gloria nunc semper Amen Thursday Maii. 24. Δ. Because E. K. came not according as it was bidden yesterday to follow the Action I went to his Study door and knocked for him And I requested him to come and he refused so to do and gave me a short and resolute answer That he would never more have to do with these Actions I asked him the reason why He would give none But earnestly denied to proceed I told him that his words yesternight that he could not this day deale did very much grieve me c. whereof he made small account So I went into my Study again and committed the Cause to God After half an hour and lesse he came speedily out of his Study and brought in his hand one Volume of Cornelius Agrippa his works and in one Chapter of that Book he read the names of Countries and Provinces collected out of Ptolomeus as the Author there noteth Whereupon he inferred that our spiritual Instructors were 〈◊〉 to give us a description of the World taken out of other Books and therefore he would have no more to do with them I replied and said I am very glad that you have a Book of your own wherein these Geographical names are expressed such as for the most part our Instructors had delivered unto us and that according to the Tenor and form of my request to him so to have them expressed for 〈◊〉 more perfect information by those known names to understand those 91 unknown and unheard of names of seven letters every one whereby they our Instructors I mean are very greatly to be thanked and to be deemed in all reasonable mens judgements most friendly and far from cosenage or abusing of us And farther I said that I my self had here set down on a paper all the 91 names together orderly as we received them and that I had here brought the description Geographical of the whole earthly Globe and also Pomponius Mela set forth in English with the Chartes thereunto belonging fairly described by hand To the intent he might see the verity of their words yesterday delivered unto us for the performance of my request made to them on Tuesday last in this form of words as the Book hath it recorded thus Δ. As you gave us a taste or warning of Italia and Britania so if it be thought good to you we are desirous to understand of the rest the Application to such names as we understand Whereby you may perceive said I to E. K. how your reason is marvellously confounded by your wilful phantasie For so much as wherein you would find fault in our spiritual Instructors doings Therein they have done that which I requested them as appeareth and that to the intent of known Countries we might understand which Angels had the government for such purposes as occasion might offer or require our practices to be tryed in This quoth I is to grosse your error and to wilful your wrangling But I do in narrower points peruse and consider their words and doings In which though sometimes my writings after your declaration hath been amended by them yet the occasion of miswritting for the most part hath been either in your misreporting what you saw and heard or in my wrong hearing or writing and sometime by the spiritual present correcting of my writing and sometime longer after c. But for all this E. K. remained of his wilful intent and so departed to his Study again And I committed God his Cause into his own hands care and ordering as may be best for his honour and glory So be it Monday Maii 28. hora 10½ ante meridiem Δ. I said the Lords Prayer E. K. Here appeareth nothing but the clear Stone Now there appeareth a white circle more than usual it is as it were a white smoak very large comprehending all the heavens in manner having as it were the breadth of my finger in the circumference or border of it Δ. After this an hour and an half after divers our discourses of my Wife her speeches and usage toward E. K. c. E. K. Here appeareth one like him in the green that appeared last day the Etymologie of whose name is Dic illis and his name Mapsama Δ. In the name of Jesus and for the honour of Jesus we beseech you to deliver the verity of your message Maps ..... He liveth and he saith Arise up and say unto them How many times have I opened my armes to embrace you How oft have I wept over you as a father But you are still stiff-necked and disobedient children Lo I cease yet and will not impute this wickednesse unto you Δ. O blessed God blessed God blessed God of mercies Maps ..... Because my promises may be notwithstanding that the sons of men may not say such a day cometh in the Bridegroom nor at such a time shall the Lilly spring Let the day that I will visit you in be unknown unto you E. K. I thought you would say so Map ..... But this you shall do utter part ..... Bind up together 48 leaves whose skin shall bear Silver Whose Perimeter shall be 〈◊〉 30 inches in length 8 in breadth 7.

This done rise up and perform your Journey as you are commexded Δ. I have heard onely of the binding of the book Mean you after the binding of the book that this journey shall be entred into Map ..... I Δ. What shall I do with the book after I have bound it E. K. I will answer for him .... burn it Map ..... The fourteenth day of your rest even this Table-Cloath and none other shall be spread for a Banket E. K. He pointeth to this Diaper Table-Cloath Whereunto you shall invite the Angels of the Lord In the middest of the Table lay down the book and go forth make also the doors after you That the heavens may justifie your faith and you may be comforted For man is not worthy to write that shall be written neither shall there be found many worthy to open that book I have entered already into the Emperours heart But it may be he will become wilfull If he do a hundred and twelve dayes remain and he is not For I have cut down the banks the waters may rush out that there may be a sudden alteration In this now time When I warn you you shall return But you please me much if you believe If time govern not my providence repine not but let my providence govern time Look neither for the Sun nor Moon but be ready alwayes For whom I finde apt shall be made 〈◊〉 And to him that is barren shall there be little
another And there shall be bloud shed throughout all the World fighting between the Devil his Kingdom and the Kingdome of light Contentions and quarrels on the earth between man and man father and son wife and husband Kingdom and Kingdom yea even in the very beasts of the field shall there be hatred And into them shall the spirits of Contention enter For now cometh the necessity of things E. K. He now kneeleth down Gab. ..... As for you thus sayeth the Lord. 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. K. He kneeleth again 1. I have now told you my Brethren of and of the manner of the power of God 2. Of the nature of Hell and of her wickednesse 3. Of the course of the World and of the necessity of things 4. Of your election and of the end thereof 5. Of Laskie and why he is elected 6. Now I am lastly to perswade you by the power of God that you make your selves apt and meet matter and that you may stand before the Lord as acceptable which you shall perform if you intend your former Lessons The ground whereof is Humility and Perseverance which because they have been often spoken of I passe with referring you to the consideration thereof Giving you one warning That this Action shall never come to passe until there be no remembrance of wickednesse or hell left amongst you and yet after for a time you must have patience For your offices are above a Kingdom Hinder not the Lord in his expeditions Remember he hath commanded you to go to the Emperour Happy is he that cometh when he is bid Go. And foolish is he that goeth not when he is bidden There use thy self for it shall be a key of thy habitation And for that place is the Angel of thy Creation sealed Love together Be humble and continue to the end Δ. Deo nostro immortali invisibili omnipotenti Patri misericordiarum ejusque filio Redemptori nostro Deo Spiritui Sancto sit omnis laus gloria gratiarum actio Amen Monday †Cracoviae †4. Junii Mane hora 8. Orationem dominicam genibus flexis recitavi variasque juxta propositam materiam ejaculationes habui variasque inter nos collationes considerationesque ultimorum verborum ipsius Gabrielis c. After almost an hour after our sitting to the Action he appeared E. K. Gabriel is here again in his Chair and his dart upright in his hand his dart is like a flame or staff of fire Δ. Blessed be God Δ. After his appearing he stayed almost a quarter of an hour before he began Gab. ..... As God in his essential being is a Spirit without demonstration so are his profound providences works and determinations unable to be measured E. K. He maketh cursie but nothing appeareth in the Stone Gabr. ..... Hereby may you find that the love of God towards you O wretches and sinners is more than a love and more than can be measured which was the cause that with his own finger delighting in the sons of Jacob he sealed this saying yea with his own finger this shew and sign of his excellent and more than love toward his people I am a jealous God which is as much to say Lo I am your friend nay rather your father and more than that your God which delighteth in you rejoyceth in you and loveth you with that affection Jealousie which is more than love which is as much to say as my love is such toward you as I am to my self But O ye stiff-necked Jews O ye Strumpets you despised the love of God you committed adultery and ran into the Temples of Idols which was the cause that the same mouth that praised you before E. K. He maketh cursie often .... Said also of you It repenteth me that I made this people Let me raze them out and make a people of thee This Idolatry was the cause from time to time that you became Captives and of Inheritours Runnagates and without a Master Vnto you also thus saith the Lord unto you my Brethren I say that are here More than the love of a father is is the love of God toward you For unto which of the Gentiles bath the Lord shewed himself Where dwell they or where have they dwelled into whose houses have the Angels of the Lord descended saying thus and thus
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.

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
must have patience For your Offices are above a Kingdom To conclude whatsoever with God is known and used as the true cause we are contented Nothing doubting of the goodnesse and wisdom and power of God to perform his promises and Covenant made to and with us for our services to be used to his honour and glory Most willingly and patiently we will attend the will and pleasure of the highest herein Intending hence forward by the help of God not to give our selves over unto nor easily to be inveigled or allured of the temptations of the world the flesh or Devil For which our disposition of minde and all other benefits received from above we render most humble harty and entire thanks to the Almighty most glorious and blessed Trinity Amen Amen Amen Munday Junii 18.

L. being somewhat oppressed with pensivenesse to see his own subjects and servants to triumph against him in his low estate from high and all for lack of money and wealth c. Suddenly appeared a mighty long and big arm and hand in the aire to catch at the shew-stone and E. K. meaning to save it from him put his hand on the stone and immediately the stone was out of the frame we know not how and lay by on the Cushion c.

This is a sword wherein he putteth his trust but it shall fail him E. K.

This is three years four moneths and ten dayes since they begun so long hath the Angel of the Lord been ready for thy safe-guard O Lasky standing at the window and ready to binde up mischief prepared against thee This mischief shall light upon his own head But if thou remain my servant and do the works that are righteous I will put Solomon behinde thee and his riches under thy feet Be therefore comforted in me for the breath thou breathest is mine and the body that thou dwellest in is the work of my hands The earth from whence thou camest is mine also It is I therefore that cast down and none but I that raise up again E.

Make the first figure upon a clean paper and thereto adde the simple letters Then shall you hear more Thou must make the squares of the first part of the Table unto every square and his letters Δ. I have made the squares of the first part and set in the letters Thou hast in the middle line O r o i b A h a o z p i. There are 6 lines above and six below That line is called linea Spiritus Sancti and out of that line cometh the three names of God from the East gate being of 3 4 and 5. letters which were the armes of the Ensignes that were spoken of before Oro ibah aozpi I said before that God the Father a mighty pillar divided with a right line The Father himself without the line The Father and Son by addition of the line These two lines beginning J A i d a r  c.

One letter is reckoned twice which is in the 〈◊〉 of the Crosse and so should seens to be eleven ..... This is true knowledge Δ. The last crosse is thus his down line is a O u r r z Δ. The Crosse is a L O a i. Δ. So have I the 4 Crosses attendant on the principal Crosse. ..... Here thou mayst see the cause that Pilat wrote with 4 letters Δ. How doth the cause appear ..... For above every crosse standeth 4 letters Not that Pilat knew it but that it was the fore-determination of God They are thus to be read In the upper left angle thou hast r z l a pronounce urzla by this name the first Angel appeareth z l a go then to the first r and pronounce it zlar That was the first letter of the first Angel is the last letter of the second as of the first r was the first letter of the name as r z l a that r is now the last letter of the name of the second Angel beginning at z as z l a and so back again to the r.

So that you have of those 4 letters 4 Angels names here thus gathered out but how are they to be used ..... Let it be sufficient that you know these names I will teach you to use them Δ.

is true for hitherto stretched the knowledge of Solomon .....

If you will make them of 7 letters because two of them are but of six that is when the wrath of God is to be encreased Note Then whereas you say Abioro say Habioro and where you say Haozpi say ahahozpi Thou hast haospi before h is A take that unto it and it maketh Aha ozpi And so they consist all of 7 letters Thou hast b the fifth in the left part of the line de Spiritu Sancto thou hast a the sixth the first part of the line de patre filio descending T the sixth in the second part descending a The first in the second part descending or the second ascending Thou hast a the fifth in aozpi i The sixth and V the sixth ascending in the part descending of the line de patre filio the second and first part Put the A or the h that stand in the Center to it Thou hast Bataiva or Bataivh You must take but one of them either the A or the h.

K. said he had rather see them thus out of the stone I said that in the stone we have warrant that no wicked thing shall enter but without the stone Illuders might deal with us unlesse God prevented it c. E. K. said again he had rather deal thus ..... His meaning is above thy sight E. K. Now two of them seem to kneel down in the Sun beams .....

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
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. K. in divers manners he said that E. K. should be damned and said moreover that of our practises should never come any fruitfull end c. Δ. The eternal and Almighty God confound the Adversaries of his truth and glory and of his Son Jesus Christ our Redeemer and the Triumphant Conquerour against Hell fin and the Devil Amen PRAGAE On Monday and Tuesday the 17 th and 18 th of September I sent Emericus up to the Castle to listen after answer of that Doctor Curtz his report to the Emperour of that he had perceived by me But on Monday Octavius Spinola had sent into the Town for Emericus and told him that the Emperour had care and desire to understand my doing with the Doctor And therefore asked Emericus if I had been with the Doctor and he affirmed that I had Hereof said he the Emperour will be glad And yet as I began to note Emericus coming on Tuesday in the face of the Doctor in the Ritters stove had not one word spoken to him that either he had spoken to the Emperour or he had not And therefore I suspect that the Doctor dealeth not honestly faithfully or wisely in this so weighty a case And forasmuch as he told me that the Emperour his Majesty was perswaded that he was pious c. perhaps he would be loath now to prefer me to the speech of the Emperour seeing both he himself and the rest of his counsel stood perswaded to the contrary of this King Hereupon this great delay upon sinister report made to the Emperour might follow c.

Now she is here that last advertised us She taketh the book and divideth it into two parts and it seemeth to be two books the half cover adjoyning to one and the other half cover belonging to the other the sides with the covers are towards me ..... Wisdome is a pearceing beam which is the center of the spiritual being of the holy Spirit touching from all parts from whence the Divinity sendeth it out and is proper to the soul or unto substances that have 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so that whatsoever shall have end can never attain unto that which is called Wisdome Neither can things that are subject to the second death receive any such influence because they are already noted and marked with the seat of destruction Happy is he whom God hath made a vessel of salvation for unto him belongeth joy and a crown of reward Adam your forefather and first paren in respect of his creation that is to say in respect of his imaginative composition received no strength but by the Holy Ghost for the soul of man is free from all passions and affections until it enter into the hody unto the which it is limited so that being neither good nor bad but apt unto both he is left by Divine providence and permission joyned together to the end of the one or the other But wheresoever wisdome dwelleth it dwelleth not with the soul as any property thereof but according to the good will of God whose mercy concurreth on every side into him and taketh up a mansion therein to utter out and manifest his great goodness And even as the heavens are glorified continually with the Spirit of God So is the s ul of man glorified that receiveth sanctification thereby for no man is illuminated that is not sanctified neither is there any man perfectly sanctified that is not illuminated I speak this my brethren for that you shall understand That no man did or can ever attain to wisdom that perfect wisdome which I speak of without he become a Center in his soul unto the mercies and good will of God comprehending him and dwelling in him therefore lift up your eyes and see Call your wits together and mark my words To teach you or expound unto you the mysteries of the Books that you have already received is not in my power but in the good will of God after whose Image I am Which good will of God is the descending of his holy Spirit abundantly upon you and into you opening all your senses and making you perfect men for Adam understood by that grace and his eyes were opened so that he saw and know all things that were to his understanding So have all those more and less that have been counted wise received the gifts of the Holy Ghost which setteth the soul on man so on fire that he pierceth into all things and judgeth mightily The Apostles which knew even the thoughts of men understood all things because the holy Spiritamade a dwelling place in them even so shall it happen unto you For you are the chosen of this last dayes an such as shall be full of the blessings of God and his Spirit shall rest with you abundantly Mark therefore what I have to say unto you A hundred dayes are limited unto you during the which time you shall every seventh present your selves in this place and you shall laud and praise God And behold I will be present amongst you And before these dayes pass when power is given me so to do I will enter out of this Stone unto you and you shall eat up these two books both the one and the other and wisdome shall be divided between you sufficient to each man Then shall your eyes be opened to see and understand all such things as have been written unto you and taught you from above But beware ye take heed that you dwell within your selves and keep the secrets of God untill the time come that you shall be bid SPEAK For then shall the Spirit of God be mighty upon you so that it shall be said of you LO were not these the Sorcerers and such as were accounted Vagabonds Other some shall say Behold let us take heed and let us humble our selves before them For the Lord of Hoasts is with them And you shall have power in the Heavens and in the lower bodies And it shall be taught you at all times inwardly even what belongeth to the hearts of men Then shalt thou E. K. have a new coat put on thee and it shall be all of one colour Then shalt thou Δ. also have power to open that book which God hath committed unto thee but
this Message the which will seem unto thee to be very hard yet as thou art the servant of God and one whom God doth favour and love although the world by wicked enemies doth hate thee willingly and obediently follow that course the which God in his mercies at this time shall make known unto thee Thou 〈◊〉 if thou wilt obey the commandment of God by me made known unto thee take a long journey in hand and go where thou shalt have all these great mercies of God performed unto thee and God will shew thee as great favour in the sight of God as ever he did shew unto Joseph who was sold into bondage as thou knowest and in all his 〈◊〉 and troubles 〈◊〉 was with him and delivered him So if thou wilt follow this commandment from 〈◊〉 delivered unto thee by me Raphael that thou shalt not doubt nor waver in thy mind but God will be merciful unto thee both in this life and in the life to come and think God will not command thee to take such a journy in hand but that he doth know that is best for thee and he will preserve thee and keep thee in thy journy And thou shalt find in thy journy that God shall and will deal 〈◊〉 with thee in finding ease of the infirmity of the stone that the Angels of God shall direct thee in thy heart and mind how thou shalt use thy body to the health and comfort of thy strength And when thou art at thy journies end amongst such friends beyond the seas as thou knowest God shall and will raise thee as faithful friends as now I have said before as Joseph had so shalt thou be favoured with God and man for it is the will and purpose of God to have thee to be obedient unto this the which I do make known unto thee because thou shouldst not remain here to be beholding unto those that are thy mortal enemies and had rather to hear of thy end than otherwise to hear of thy well-doing or any good to be done unto thee by any man it is a grief and a spight in head and mind unto them that thou shouldst come to any help or things necessary for mans use here upon earth the which man cannot be without And John Dee I am to command thee that so shortly as thou canst by all means possible set thy things in order for thy Wardenship and in all other causes of worldly affairs And for maintenance to further thy journy God will most graciously raise thee up some good friends to be helping unto thee that thou 〈◊〉 have maintenance in thy journy And thy very friend John Pontoys shall by Gods favour come home and he shall and will be a great aid unto thee t perform this course the which God by me hath commanded thee to undertake That where thou dost 〈◊〉 now in want and to be 〈◊〉 unto those who do not love thee neither in heart do wish thee well so God would have thee to be where thou shalt do him service and God will give thee long days in so doing and 〈◊〉 this his commandment and will by me Raphael the which message I am at Gods will and his pleasure plainly to make known unto thee that it is his will to have thee to follow this course in which God will have thee to enter into Not fearing nor mistrusting the weakness of thy body but that God will preserve thee for that time as shall be his good will and pleasure that thou shalt have life here in this world to be as merciful a God to deliver thee from all hurts and dangers and from all infirmities even with as much health as thou hast had in this time as thou hast lived thus many years so God will have thee to follow his will in this direction and then thou shalt have all things aforesaid performed unto thee and thou shalt then have such favour that thou shalt behold his blessed Creatures with these thy mortal eyes and if thou wilt perform to the uttermost of thy power this message from God by me delivered Then G d will in his mercies perform all that is promised unto thee And except thou wilt be willing and dutiful so much as in thee lieth to make good this the which I have through God means declared what course thou must take and if thou dost it not then God will not no more send unto thee to the beholding of any mans earthly eyes any of his blessed Creatures Therefore I command thee from God as I am his faithful Minister and blessed Angel of God that thou shouldst not doubt to take this journy in hand for God will be with thee and for thee and his blessed Angels shall be thy comfort even as the Angel of God was the comfort unto young Tobias in his journey so God will deal with thee in thine And so I have delivered unto thee what God will have thee 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 It is the will and favour of God to give the as much understanding of Gods mercies towards thee yet for to come as ever mortal man had delivered unto him by any spiritual Creature from God So now I have fully ended my message Therefore see that thou John Dee be as ready to perform it to the greatest of thy power as lovingly in giving God thanks for this message delivered because I would have thee to be such an one as shall not end his dayes in reproach and rejoycing of thy enemies but thou shalt have time and days to live that when thou diest and shalt depart this world thou shalt die with fame and memory to the end that such an one was upon the earth that God by him had wrought great and wonderful Miracles in his service And thus to Gods honour and his glory I have ended my message yielding unto God all honour and praise and thanks for all his blessings and his great benefits bestowed upon his Creatures both now and for evermore Amen Blessed be God in all his gifts and holy in all his works Praised be God Amen Amen Δ. Amen Δ. Now O God as I have willingly yielded unto thy will and commandment of undertaking a Journey so I beseech thee that it may stand with thy good pleasure to notifie unto me the Country Region or City unto which thou wouldst have me direct my course from hence-forward Δ. Nothing appeared A Voice ..... A Voice ..... In the Name of God to morrow at ten of the clock Δ. So be it Δ.

suffer those wicked ones by any of their malicious practices to prevail in any wise to hurt thy body as Jobs was For if they 〈◊〉 their wicked purposes could have wrought such cruelty against thee thou hadst not been a man living here upon earth until this time So John Dee thou dost know who is thy mortal enemy who rules next unto your earthly King Δ. Why thou maist well know for I have made it known before time unto thee that he is not thy friend though thou hast not offended him in any wise Therefore because that this thy Native Countrey is not a place fit for Gods purposes in his wisdome to be bestowed upon thee here Therefore at my last Message God did send me to make known unto thee whether he would have thee to go that there thou mightst be a man and that man whom God hath appointed to make his Wisdome known for thou art that man whom God hath chosen that accordingly as it was said yesterday that no mortal man in flesh but onely Enoch had or shall have the like wisdome made known plainly to be understood by any man or thou thy self shalt understand and receive at the hands of the Almighty Therefore it is his will and purpose of God that he would have thee in that Countrey for this thy Native Countrey is not worthy of gifts that thou shalt receive at the hands of God to come and to be made known unto those which be not worthy of such great gifts of Gods wisdome to come amongst those that be unworthy Therefore John Dee in all these matters the which in favour at this time made known unto thee the chief and greatest cause of this my coming unto thee is to make the matter plainly known that God in his mercies would have thee with all diligence that thou canst possibly to haste thee to that Countrey where God doth command thee and at my last being here thou knowest what was my Message therefore do thy diligence to fulfil it as thou canst and God will put his great helps unto thee in strengthning of thy body and otherwise which shall be to thy good And thou being once in that place where God would have thee to be thou shouldst well perceive and plainly understand that God will most mercifully work with thee for thy good in performing all such promises the which hath 〈◊〉 loth at the last time and at this time made known unto thee John Dee I do put thee in remembrance that whereas thou 〈◊〉 say that thou hadst a portion of money 〈◊〉 thee from the Emperour unto thee I tell thee that the Devil in working in the heart of one of thy enemies Cook I mean did seek some wayes by his false important ill speeches in most false manner unto one that did in somewhat let the Emperour to understand what he had most falsely to thy discredit as he thought to hinder thee that thou shouldst not come to any help or credit at the Emperours hand But John Dee be of good comfort The Emperour of all Emperours will be thy comfort and aid thee and evermore put down thy enemies that the Emperour that thou shouldst have received that portion o it shall be so with thee that he shall have more need of thee in such wisdome as God shall deliver unto thee for thou shalt have no need of him but onely to keep good will and friendship betwixt him and thee in shewing thy self friendly unto him as God shall hereafter give thee plainly to understand Now John Dee I have made known unto thee what Gods will is in this my message This is the greatest and the most principal cause why God hath sent me unto thee at this present time And now I have through Gods mercies delivered this his Commandment unto thee and for this I have now said and finished Δ. Blessed be the Almighty God now and for ever Gladly I would have understood how much the portion was which the Emperour would have sent me John Dee let it go and speak no farther of it for thou maist be joyful whereas it is said unto thee that he should have need of thee and not thou of him Therefore reason no more in that matter Δ. As concerning Mr. Eccleston John Dee in few words I answer thee He hath dealt with the parties in those affairs but the chief party will not as yet yield any thing to be made known but doth stubbornly and stoutly stand in his own defence And Gods Creatures have wrought with him and nothing he will as ye yield unto except that those Creatures should deal so cruelly with him as it were to pull him apieces this is his wicked stubbornness But God will bring the matter to light but Eccleston hath not dealt so in the matter as he might have done he is too too slack in his own cause Therefore if the fault be in him then do not blame the Creatures of God For God could as you very well do know it command that said Treasure to be brought but he will not have it so to be because it shall come by other means among men So God hath a great care and purpose to do all for your good to keep matters out of blame and slander of the world as it might come to passe if it should come by any other wayes but by this plot which is laid down to decline And when it is the will of God that it shall be delivered God will so perform it if man will do as he should do in all reverend manner towards God-ward And so now I let you to perceive and to know that it is not as yet obtained Δ. Whether hath the other party confessed any thing Raph. He hath 〈◊〉 as yet yielded openly but he hath in secret manner perswaded his fellow that the matter might be made known unto Eccleston in confessing of all the whole matter but the other will not yet yield but it were better for him to yield at the first then to tarry any longer the lesse would be his punishment from God therein And so I let you to understand that you shall give God his time to work in that matter at his pleasure and then shall it be to the good of the owner and of you likewise And now I have said Δ. As concerning the bereaving me of my own goods I would gladly understand who hath my silver double gilt bell-Salt and other things here of late conveyed from mee Raph. John Dee This is the will and purpose of God to command thee although thou dost suffer wrong because thy goods be so taken away from thee yet Gods will is such that he will have thee to be a peace-maker in this cause for it is past help to have it again But as thou art a mortal father so use that matter as a father for thy son had it although he would not neither will confess it And likewise for such things of late missing about
