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. .....

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.

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
Let us seek other wayes Then you are not counted perseverers neither are your works worthy reward But humane reason can perswade and give judgement against these follies much more are they damnable and deserve correction in the voice and judgement of such as are pure He that dealeth with the wicked is a lyar and shall have his reward But the end of comfort is in the purenesse of spirit But O you of little wisdom you rise up against the windes and yoke your wits against the mountains Nay you cast your selves down headlong where there is no mercy For what blasphemie is it to say If it be the will of God it must follow Is not man subject to the bringing in of his own labours And are not they allowed to his comfort being brought in The soul of man is the Image of God after his form which keepeth within himself the power of his divinity in the heavenly Spirit whereby he hath Authority to consent with God in the workmanship of his Will and Creatures Which Power being sealed already giveth unto man as King of himself to consent to his own salvation conjoyning and knitting himself together either with perseverance in the assured hope of mercy or with wilfull drunkennesse to the reward of such as fall Therefore Become Holy For the soul beautifieth when it is beautified in it self Resist not the Will of God which is mighty on you Be not obstinate Be humble Rejoyce not for this World But be glad that your names are sealed and that you shall correct the World Despair not through weaknesse for from whom cometh strength If puddles become Seas the end is more wonderful But yet greater when sinners are called to the knowledge and performance of God his Will thorough his mercies Even as one day perisheth and is not although he hath been Even so it is and shall be the state of this World For the Earth must sing O Sanna with the Heavens And there must be One veritie And Hierusalem shall descend with an horn of glory to the end The Sun and Moon shall be witnesses and wonder at their stay The Kings of the Earth shall become proud in themselves and are unable to be tamed with man But I will yoke them saith the Lord with correction And force them one to imitate anothers steps Yea they shall tread the grapes alike For in my Vineyard Corruption shall not dwell with Authority Neither shall the Prince of Darknesse usurpe my further honour E.

At these his words I rejoyced much to perceive the doing of the Highest in the hearing of his prayer 〈◊〉 prayed that the answer which I read unto him was so filty applyed unto his prayer as he also himself did perceive with great comfort and spiritual joy He entreated much that I would pray to God that the Emperour might be restored to the favour of God as he was when I declared my message unto him from the Highest I answered that whatsoever the God of Heaven and Earth should appoint me to say or do unto his Majesty I most willingly rejoyce in the faithful doing of it and that it was my duty as a Christian to pray for his Majesty but I should not make my promise of my prayer to be heard but would highly rejoyce if his Imperial Majesty would so use himself in God his judgment as might be meritorious in the sight of our Redeemer Such words and matters as this passed between us And he said that he would in all points fulfil the advice and warning of God in this Action expressed would marry a Maiden as he was willed And this day did acknowledge account himself a happy man And as concerning our mutual bond by the meanes of each being given to the other by God of Heaven and Earth he vowed and promised that he would regard it in all points to the best of his skil and power c. These and other such good seeds for the service of God being sown between us he went towards his Palace in the Court and I to the water-side and so over to the Coach awaiting for me and so came home God be praysed MEMORANDUM The Lord Rosenberg sent Mr. Jacob Menschik with this Letter unto me Magnifico Domino Joanni Dee ad manus proprias Magnifice Domine Pater Observandae Charissimae LEtatus sum in his quae mihi dixistis Cognovi enim quoniam exaudivit deprecationem meam pius pater misericors Dominus Itáque maximo pere desideravi ut quam sepissime ea mihi legere perlegere semper ab oculos habere possim per amorem Dei oro ut saltem eorum quae mihi perlecta ad me pertinent verborum mihi transmittas descriptionem Non tantùm mihi 〈◊〉 gratificabitur sed consolabor 〈◊〉 Obsecro praeterea Dominum vestram assiduè pro me orare velit ut confirmet hoc Deus quod operatus est in nobis dirigat omnia consilia opera actiones imwò cogitationes nostras ad laudom gloriam sanctissimi nostris sui commodum multorum animae nostrae salutem Neque desinat pro amore suo paterno quo me uti spero Dominatio vestra prosequitur me semper in omnibus qua pro honore Dei commodo vestro à me fieri debent possunt admonere significare Rem summopere mihi gratum expectationi meae dignam consentaneam faciet Et cum his me commendo suis praecibus orationibus nec non paterno suo amori cordi Optimè valeat Magnifica Dominatio vestra Dominica Cantate Anno 1586.

Being Tuesday I entred my Journey toward Valkenaw Glasse-house and Leipsig Mart. There are divers Valkenaws one by Egre or Elbogen not far from Carls Bath westward from Prage about 18 Bemish miles an other in Behem about 11 or 12 miles from Prage northerly a mile from Krebitz and two miles from Liep and a mile from Kamnitz NOTE May 11 I came to Leipsig on Sunday the 11 of May and was at Peter Hans Swartz his House lodged I found Laurence Overton with much ado an English Merchant to whom my wife the last year had shewed no little friendship to himself and Thomas his partners servant in the time of his lying sick in our House c. at Prage He came from England at Mid-lent he confessed that Edmond my servant had been oftentimes with him at his House and that he did think that he would come with the next Ships after his comming from England then to come within 16 dayes I perceived by his diverse expresse sayings that he was but a hollow friend unto me and seemed half afraid to deal either with me or my man There also I found a courteous Gentleman called Mr. Francis Evers the Lord Evers his Sonne of
whatsoever you have done unto other men even the self-same shall light upon you but happy is he that receiveth not justice through the 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 but through the grace and mercy of God The Apostle Paul abounded in carnal lust he was also offensive unto his brethren so that he despaired and was ready to have left his vocation untill the Lord did say unto him My mercy and grace 〈◊〉 thee Beleeve me that we are from above Which considered Consider also That as you cannot comprehend the heavens so likewise can you not comprehend the wisdome of God which saith I will be merciful unto whom I list and unto whom I will not I have none in store Foolish is he that asketh why And 〈◊〉 I say unto you Stumble not against God Who he is that made you Who is he that hath given you power to look up towards heaven You are fools and of little understanding This day saith G d unt you B hold you are become free Do that which most pleaseth you For behold your own reason riseth up against my wisdome Not content you are to be heires but you would be Lords yea Gods yea the Judgers of the heavens Wherefore do even as y u list but if you forake the way taught you from ab ve behold evil shall enter into your senses and abomination shal dwel before your eyes as a recompence unto such as you have done wrong unto And your wives and children shall be carried away before your face Δ. The Almighty God of heaven and earth be my comfort as I desire comfort in his service and give me wisdome as I desire it for his honour and glory Amen E. K. I see a white pillar and upon the pillar I see four heads Shee tieth the pillar round about with a list The four heads are like on two heads and on two Wolves heads Now there cometh a thing like a white Crown of Christal and standeth upon all our four heads The heads seem to be inclosed by the necks within the pillar Now she taketh the pillar and goeth up with it Now she bringeth an half Moon down and written in it as followeth Injustum nihil quod justum est Deo Now she goeth round about upon a thing like a Carpet she goeth now beyond where is an Orchard she cutteth branches of two trees and shee seemeth to insert them or graff them into another Now she goeth into a black place behinde the wood and bringeth a thing with her in a chain An ugly thing like a Devil Mad. ..... Behold seest thou this wherewithall thou thoughtest to overthrow and most infect thou art utterly overthrown and shalt never return again E. K. Now he leapeth and the ground openeth and he sinketh in and there seemeth a stink of brimstone to come to my Nose from the pit Now the grafts are all grown in the tree as if they were all of one tree Now she cometh out of that orchard Now she goeth round about the orchard and leaveth a darkness like a cloud round about the orchard Mad. ..... Visible to God but invisible to man E. K. Now she cometh again upon her Carpet Behold if you resist not God but shut out Satan through unity amongst you thus it is said unto you Assemble your selves together every seventh day that your eyes may be opened and that you may understand by him that shall teach you what the secrets of the holy books delivered you are That you may become full of understanding and in knowledge above common men And in your works go forward and detract no time that you may also have fruit Unto William I will be merciful for ever according to my promise But I will buy him no Kingdom after the manner of man with money But what I have determined unto him shall happen unto him And he shall become mighty in me ¶ And this Powder which thou hast brought here is appointed for a time by God and cannot be used until then without offence Happy is he that heareth my words this day and happy is he that understandeth them But if you deny the Wisdome of the Highest and account us his Messengers Creatures of darkness This day you are made free And look that you lay up all things that is spoken of from above and whatsoever hath been taught you as well the books as instruments You shall shortly have to do again with the cruelty of the Emperour and the accursed Bishop Whereunto if you go forward with God you shall be taught to answer If you leave off as soon as you hear of it be going into Germany lest you perish before then I have no more to say unto you but my swiftness is from above E. K. Now she maketh her self ready c. Mad. ..... If my friendship like you not I beseech God send you as good will as I in powe bear towards you I have not one word more given me to speak E. K. Now she is gone Δ. I was glad that an offer was made of being every seventh day to be taught the secrets of the books already delivered unto us Thinking that it was easie for us to perform that unity which was required to be amongst us four understanding all after the Christian and godly sense But E. K. who had yesterday seen and heard another meaning of this unity required utterly abhorred to have any dealing with them farther and did intend to accept at their hands the liberty of leaving off to deal with them any more which his understanding as it was strange and unpleasant unto me so I earnestly requested to be resolved therein in manner as followeth At the same time and in the same place this ensued NOTE Δ. Upon Mr. Kelly his great doubt bred unto me of Madimi her words yesterday spoken to him that we two had our two wives in such sort as we might use them in common it was agreed by us to move the question whether the sense were of Carnal use contrary to the law of the Commandment or of Spiritual love and charitable care and unity of mindes for advancing the service of God E. K. Upon a Scroll like the edge of a Carpet is written De utroque loquor Δ. The one is expresly against the Commandement of God neither can I by any means consent to like of that Doctrine And for my help in that verity I do call down the power of Almighty God the Creator of heaven and earth and all the good Angels his faithful Ministers to assist me in the defence of my faithful obedience to the law of the Gospel and of his Church Assist me O Christ. Assist me O Jesu Assist me O holy Spirit E. K.
