of rags hanging at the top of it The rags seemed of Woollen and Linnen Cloath like a bundle of Rags gathered out of a Taylers shop The sword stood upright in a manner but leaning from E. K. his face though it seemed to smite at E. K. A voyce So be it O Lord for thon art mighty Be it so unto them For they have embraced an Harlot and have forgotten thy jealousie E. K. The svvord shaketh mightily Many are the Harlots that svvarm upon the earth and innumerable are their Children and such as they foster Their revvard is ready E. K. The sword now shaketh again mightily ..... He that entreth into the house of the wicked is defiled but he that consenteth with an Harlot is accursed He that delighteth in her secrets shall be stabbed And Leprosie shall dwell in his house for ever Δ. O Lord I trust this respecteth none of us in common sense to be understood ..... He that delighteth in light loveth not himself but desireth the love of him that illuminateth But thus saith God I will not dally with you Neither shall you handle me as you have done For your Horedom is wilfull and your vanities worse But this I leave amongst you that you shall know that I am righteous For he that despiseth me is accursed and unto him that dissembleth my fashion are miseries without number So unto them that enterinto the house of blasphemy is vengeance ready at hand Δ. O Lord what is this Man is but earth where the heavens dwell neither are the works of man acceptable but with righteousnesse E. K.

All is gone except the sword which standeth in a Cloud and there cometh a hand and setteth a seal upon the sword A voyce I brought you from iniquity to the intent you might be purified But the more I cleanse you the more you are defiled ..... I have offered of old and it shall be told I have promised and it shall be performed You have not kept my Commandments And therefore you shall be plagued He that goeth out of the way shall receive the reward of errour For stragglers are spotted people And none can be blessed but such as dwell in the Tabernacle of righteousnesse But behold I will tell it unto you but with greater hardnesse And I will make you know me before I visit you in kindnesse For thus sayeth Sathan Lo they erre still Do Justice for thy glory sake They enter into the houses of Idols And laugh with blasphemers They are silent when thy name is blasphemed Deal with them as a God or else thou art not righteous Therefore be free from Sathan that he may praise your righteousnesse Yea that he may say as he hath said Let me touch them Vntill then I will be just I will not forget this wickednesse till you be made clean For behold I have sealed it and therefore it must be finished For what is sealed of me cometh to passe Δ. A voyce He that dissembleth the image of Christ is a liar Δ. ..... Now cometh a grave man all cloathed in white with a Mytre upon his head ..... The God of peace is a comforting Medicine to such as delight in him The peace of the world is the image of God God and man which is Jesus Christ the son of the living God Which knit with the father in the spirit of truth proceeding from them both ..... everlasting will opened his mercies to his Apostles replenishing them fully and mightily with the will of the father to the comfort of the world Which made messagers thereof have delivered to the Church full and perfect Statutes as the Will of him whereunto she is united and married to be kept inviolable and without transgression This Will Covenant or Decree sealed unto the end of the world in the number of the faithfull whosoever breaketh or dissembleth is accursed or damned Therefore saith the word of God unto you You have run astray you have entred into the houses of Idols I have brought you from fire but you are entred into flames And why Because you defile your selves with the wickednesse of deceivers Whose images you saw affirmatively though not verily Continually overwhelmed with daily and inextinguible flames Continuing even so long as their errour is exalted Yea even in the professors thereof to their eternal damnation For as Christ and his Doctrine is light and truth So seem the impositions of Sathan to agree or take unto themselves shapes or likenesses of the true image of him that saveth Whereby he trusteth in himself under the colour of meeknesse into the companie of the faithfull Devouring their Souls with ravening dissembling and false likelyhoods of truth unable to be decided by man Happie are those that believe them not For he even he it is that is a liar and is oldest in deceit But as the father is eternal So is the son eternal which eternity of the father and the son is the holy Ghost eternal proceeding equally as the finger of God and spirit of truth to the general workmanship of Gods determination knit together three Persons E. K. He maketh a great reverent cursie in this omnipotency by spiritual illumination and through the holy Ghost delivered unto the Apostles as the pledge of God his mercie and promise is alwayes certainly linked joyned and engraffed into the society of those that fulfill the will of the highest perfectly and without errour whose strength shall continue and glorie branch out even unto the end of this world and beginning of comfort Therefore believe For the spirit of truth worketh wonders raiseth the dead and hath power to forgive sins Through the power of him unto whom it is ma ..... For as Christ hath all power in heaven and in earth delivered ..... So hath he delivered all power in heaven and earth to his true Church Therefore she cannot erre For where power is without measure errour hath no number Believe not therefore those that lie saying The Church of God is infected with errours For the offences of few are not counted errour but unrighteousnesse Neither can the stragling feet of a few drunken bring infamy to the whole house Δ. ..... It lieth not in my power to deliver you or reconcile you from death and Hell The tormentry and filthinesse of the world and the wrath of God But
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. K. He speaketh much in a smaller voice than he did I cannot perceive it He turned back and spake ..... I speak these things for your understanding and that you may be strengthened E. K. He turneth back again as before and speaketh I know not what ..... My dear brethren therefore rejoyce in Comfort and the image of Peace and remain faithful that you may be fed with that food that shall preserve and alwaies rest before the mighty flames of Zanzor where there dwelleth no defiled Creature nor any unrighteousnesse E. K. He turneth now back again as before speaking He seemeth now to lean against a Pillar of Copper great and round And he is become lesse than he was Now he standeth on the top of the Pillar Now he kneeleth down his back being turned A voice saith to him ..... Swear ..... 1 He said ..... It is done He said ..... The first voice openeth his mouth and saith There is a great rumbling and roushings of falling of Towns or Houses as it were in the Stone He said ..... The will of God is sealed in this Prophesie and it shall endure A voice ..... Swear ..... 2 He said ..... I have done He said ..... It thundereth and it is the second voice The effect of God his Will is not of time and therefore not to be known of man till that moment and end of time shall appear wherein it must be published and finished with power E.

were such as her self and she lifted up her head and leaned upon her twice writhen taile and beheld the Sun stedfastly for her envy was toward that City and she said within her self My children are yet young the time grew and they became big and she went unto the Spring and smiled and said with a laughing voice The Earth is fallen into thee thou art choked but hearken unto my voice Thou shalt receive comfort But she would not And she lifted up her voice and roared for she was full of craft and deceit And she said unto the shingles through the which the Spring runs or rather syeth Thou art full of emptinesse and void places Let my children therefore hide themselves within thee for a season and they were contented And she departed willingly and saith within her self Now I know I shall be Lady of the City And after a few years the young Serpents became great so that the one half of their bodies dwelt within the Shingles the rest troubled the passage of the Spring So that the Spring groaned for the injury that was done against her was great A great misery for the Hill is become desolate without the water and the City and the beasts perish for want of drink for the people groan and are ful of sorrow This City and Serpents are 60. now and judgement must be had betwixt the Shingles and the Spring for between lieth the life and death of the City Thus saith the Lord unto thee pointing to E. K. Gird up thy self and fit down Consider both parts and give judgement for thy mouth shall this day be the judgement of the Lord. E. K. Do you mean me Ë. K. As the Lord hath put the Authority of Judgement into my hands so I beseech him to give me wisdom and understanding to judge right And because the judgement hereof is committed to me I suspect some other mystery to lie hidden in this my judgement required But if it shall please God that my friend here Master Dee shall give me his advise I shall think my self well satisfied ....... Consider with your self saith the Lord and give judgement against the Shingles for the fault is plain Consider two points the necessity of the Spring that it must come that wayes and secondly the health of the City E. K. My judgement is that the Shingles and Serpent should be removed away by an Earthquake from the place which they encumber and let that there may be a fit new place and course for that Spring to the relief of that City as before it was ...... Be it so as thou hast said for it is a just judgement Now hearken what the Lord saith The people and City of the Hill is the world which are from time to time by the mercy and spring of Gods wisdom relieved quenched according to the extremity and necessity of their thirsting But the people and City are such as are of the Temple and Church of God which drink of his mercy to their comfort The Camels and other beasts are the people of the Earth which delight in sin and in their own imagination which also are relieved with those that are of the City but the diversities of their bodies doth cause the diversity of the ends of their comfort The Hill wherein the Spring is signifieth his Prophets and such as are drunken in the Lord Thrâ—ugh whom inwardly the mercies and will of God and of the Highest are open from time to time according to the secret will and determination of such as are within the City of his Elect. But the frailties and affections of their flesh and outward man are their fond imaginations and loose Shingles wherein the Serpent the old Devil hath harboured her children the spirits of darknesse and deceit which alwayes resist the Will of God and are put between the mercies of God and his people Moses Daniel Esdras all the rest of the Prophets Christ his twelve Paul the Messenger of God they did all hurt the Congregation of the Faithful in their flesh until they gave sentence against themselves as thou hast done with amendment of life for who is worthy to know the secrets of our God but he that delighteth in righteousnesse is obedient full of faith and the spirit of understanding Be it therefore unto thee as thou hast said Let the Shingles and Serpents be separated that the Fountain may feed as before All the trash that thou hast of the wicked burn it E. K. I do not know they are wicked ...... Their doings with thee are the hindrance of the Will of God and therefore they are wicked ...... Thou hast given judgement against thy self Take heed thou offend not thy own soul. Δ. Send down thy Spirit O Lord and illuminate E. K. his heart with perceiving of his wrong opinion c. E. K. If Moses and Daniel were skilful in the Arts of the Egyptian Magicians and were not thereby hindred for being the servants of God Why may not I deal with these without hindrance to the Will of God ...... Darknesse yeilded unto light the Greater excluded the lesser The more a man knoweth wickednesse the more he shall hate it being called back The more they knew the shadow so much more they delighted in the body For the doings of the Egyptians seem and are not so The doings of the Lord are and continue for as the Painter imitateth the gestures of man in his faculty so doth the Devil the substances and things created and made by God Stand up and look into the whole World into her youth and middle age for they are past Where are the monuments that Satan hath builded E. K. Hath Satan builded any monuments ...... Yes Hath he not builded him a Fort upon the whole Earth Hath he not the victory over the Saints Dwelleth he not in the Temple of the Highest Triumpheth he not in the Cities of the whole World Yes ...... But without comfort are his victories without pleasure his dwelling places For he knoweth his time is at hand He that now giveth freedom shall become bound And unto whom the whole World is as a Garden shall there be no one foot left Therefore are all his pleasures vanity all his Triumphs smoak and his Authority nothing indeed but a meer shadow For that that is not cannot be where it is said of the Lord it shall not be Neither can truth light or wisdom ascend from the Earth but descend from the Heavens Compare the Earth into the which the Devil is thrust as into his dwelling with the Heavens which are provided for the holy Consider the pain of the one and the pleasure of the other The seat of Gods Justice and Fountain of his Mercy The Cave of Darknesse and the Diadem of Light And then cry wo wo wo unto such as erre and whose lives are but shadows For their felicity is such as from whence it came and their reward is all one with the spirit and

God is a spirit essential and in himself Essential and working by himself Essential in all works and dignifying them by himself So that the beginning and ending of all things that are already or are in him already and to come is placed in the fountain and well-spring of all life comfort and encrease Whereby we see that the heavens and the mighty powers therein from the highest unto the lowest things that shall have an end and the earth with all that she bringeth forth yea the lower parts though after another manner and by another course do all hang and are established in and upon the unspeakable 〈◊〉 in the providence of him How therefore can the Heavens run awry Or the earth for the 〈◊〉 sake want a comforter Or the lower places look for comfort If it be so therefore that the heavens cannot erre Or if the power of God be so mighty and so full of prevailing If in the house of light there be no darknesse or from the Heavens can descend no wickednesse And why because they are dignified in the power of God What is he that should live and distrust the Lord But 〈◊〉 The power and quality of the Devil is not onely manifest but also still contendeth against the power and will of God stirring up and provoking man to fast at full Bankets to study for good and evil To rise up against the Lord and against his power And to vex the Lord himself which cannot be vexed at the wickednesse of the Devil Even for this cause sayeth the Lord unto you How long will you wallow in wickednesse How long will you be drunken with folly How long will you rise up against the Lord and against me * Saying And if this be the power of God Are these the Messagers of the highest Is this the will of God Or can it be that he hath care of the earth But these are the blasphemies of your mouth But I see I must differre my self for a time and must raise up a Table where there shall eat more worthy Consider what it is to deal with Devils Is it not to take part with Rebels Is it not to be Traitors against the annointed in his own Kingdom Is it not a greater sin then the sin of the Devil For why The Devil sinneth in himself and therefore had his fall But your sin is in your selves and by the Devil and therefore it is the greater But as it is said before Where is there a moniment upon the earth that the people have raised up in the remembrance of wickednesse Many there be that say Lo there is Hierusalem Lo there was the Lord buried Lo there the flouds divided themselves with all the rest in remembrance of the Lord But none there is that say Lo in this place the wicked have risen up and prevailed Therefore to cleave unto the Lord is good and to follow a sensible Doctrine which bringeth with it self the loathsomnesse of wickednesse and the study to do well that the wicked may be confounded Alas let the whole earth rise up thrusting up his hand even this hand can gather them all together what therefore can the Lord do when he frowneth O unreasonable Creatures and worse then beasts more ignorant then the beasts that grase in the Mountains Are you not afraid of the power of God when it becometh a skourge For doubt you not to deal with those that are wicked you of no faith wherefore hath the Lord made the earth but to be glorified in the creatures thereof And what is he that glorifieth God on earth but man Think you not therefore that the Lord bath not care of his people Think you that there is a Seat upon earth wherein he hath not hidden the might of his free power Doth Satan get a Soul that he is not privy of Believe O you of little Faith for it is the power of God it is the Key of the whole world which is the Key of mans conscience If he lock not the door but depart and leave it open Wo be to that Soul for the Prince of darknesse entreth and is possessed to the eternal wo of his dwelling place If therefore the earth be a Cave unto him that made it as appeareth by his Prophets and by the Son of God What are you Or how empty are you When you think it is in vain that the Lord hath appeared unto you But in you two is figured the time to come For many shall cleave unto the Lord even at the first call And many shall doubt of the Lord and not believe him for a season But as you two shall dwell in one Center if you yet do look forward and step right So shall the face of the whole earth be for 800. one hundred and fifty years For the fruit of Paradise shall appear that nothing may be on earth without comfort For lo the first shall be last and it shall be a Kingdom without corruption Now now hath the Serpent wallowed his fill Now Now are all things in the pride of their wickednesse Now now is the Heir ready most like his father But wo unto the earth through his government For his Kingdom shall have an end with misery And these are the latter dayes And this is the last Prophesie of the World Now now shall one King rise up against
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.

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.

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.

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.

Of such things touching Angels suddenly a voice was heard as followeth A voice ..... Herein will I talk with you my brethren E. K.

It is true Then Adam offending 〈◊〉 punishment for his offence in that he was turned out into the earth If he had been turned 〈◊〉 to a blessed place then can you not aptly say he was turned out for he that is turned out goeth to dishonour Even so Adam from innocency through his fall was turned out to corruption into a prison prepared for him before if he offended God my brother know he would offend he knew also how to dishonour him As Jesus Christ brought all blessednesse and comfort into the world So did Adam accursed bring all misery and wretchednesse into the world and in the same instant when Adam was expelled The Lord suffered the earth to be accursed for Adams sake and then said the Lord these things and gave unto the world her time and placed over her Keepers Watch-men and Princes for years moneths and dayes I am easie you may understand my rule Δ.

Gregorian Calender and the fourth day of July by the old Calender Rowland my Childe who was born Anno 1583. January 28. by the old Calender was extreamly sick about noon or midday and by one of the Clock ready to give up the Ghost or rather lay for dead and his eyes set and sunck into his head c. I made a vow if the Lord did foresee him to be his true servant and so would grant him life and confirm him his health at this danger and from this danger I would during my life on Saturdayes eat but one meal c.

I read Mapsama his first words of the book to be prepared of 48 leaves to be silvered and would gladly know what I was now to do By and by at the first looking into the stone E. K.

Qui non in 7. vivant in undecimo Δ. I made a short discourse to God of my sincere and just dealing hitherto of the book of Enoch written of the book to be silvered how hardly I can get it performed to my contentment the books being laid on the Table that of Enoch and that as it were silvered c. I craved therefore the expofition of this dark shew and as yet nothing pleasant or plain My conscience is clear and I trust in the Lord his mercies E. K. After this appeared a man all black naked all over ..... O thou that art just and hast a clear conscience answer me Δ. In the name of Jesus ..... Who commanded thee to be gone ..... I take the Commandment to have been from God ..... Thou hast broken the Commandment of God Δ. I can in no case yield thereunto ..... You have dishonoured the Lord which is just in the bottom of his own breast and gave you warning and commanded you to go which is the Lord of Heaven and Earth Δ. O Lord my first charge was in these words Thou shalt go from hence with him to the Emperour It was also said that he should make provision for this one voyage and for the rest God had provided So that seeing I was to go with him and he hath not yet provided doing what he can what shall I say or do ..... True it is thou hast had the victory and thou and thy Children have tasted mercy Thou art one of those that when I command thee to leave nothing with life yet thou savest the fatlings to offer before him that abhorreth such sacrifice Δ. Lord I know no such act of mine The Lord be mercifull to me For when it should come to such a case God knoweth I would spare none ..... O thou just man shaking his head thou art become a Saul ..... Wherefore did God answer me take the Kingdom out of Saul his hands Δ. It appeareth in the Bible because obedience was better then sacrifice ..... Even so if thou badst been obedient thy obedience had been regarded But I say unto thee the Lord oweth thee nothing for thy labour he bath payed thee to the uttermost As for Lasky I will give him over to the spirit of errour and he shall become more poor so that his own Children shall despise him But it shall not come to passe in these dayes For I will keep my promise with you You do the Commandment of Princes and Lords and Masters But when the God of Justice without your desert entertaineth you and placeth you and dwelleth amongst you which is able to give you all things commandeth you to go and that for your own profit you think it nothing to offend him But true it is That Obedience pleaseth the Lord for thererin his Creatures glorifie him most All Worship all Honour all Love all Faith all Hope all Charity all the knitting together of the Heavens consisteth in Obedience For if you had been obedient the very stones of the earth should have served your necessity For the Lord will not be found a lyar Δ. O Lord be mercifull to me I could not do thy Commandment in going without A. Laskie and him I was not able to cause to goe without provision And to our judgement he seemeth marvellously to be carefull to make provision but still he hath hinderance ..... Thou hearest thou the Lord forgiveth thee but from henceforth he commandeth thee that thou open not the secrets and the judgements which the Lord shall open unto thee of the times to come unto Laskie Δ. I pray you to say somewhat unto us as concerning this book to be silvered Else what shall I do if I have not direction herein the case being so hard .....
