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 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. Many other his sayings very glodly I omit thinking these sufficient here Δ. 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.

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.

He became very penitent and acknowledged that he had offended God and said that surely it was of the Devil for he did not remember his words but he is sure that they were not decent and beseeched God to forgive him And so did I and was very glad of this his reforming himselfe and we being oft before called down to supper were going out of my Study and as he was almost at the door to go out he said to me I feel a very heavy thing upon my shoulder and it is warm with all Whereat I put to the door and we sat down again Verily thinking as it was that it was the presence of AVE whereupon I said unto the Creature Δ.

Δ We read the premisses which seemed to us very pithy and ponderous and full of mysteries Δ I noted two Prophets names not before ..... This Necessity is two-fold one that is to say the firs contemplative and fix The other working and leading to an end In the first do dwell two great and mighty Judges Justice and Mercy In the second dwelleth the son and image of Justice leading on by order for the course of things that are led on by the later have not true Justice but the image of Justice This is the cause that the elect and chosen may erre and go astray and lose the benefit both of the end of his Election and first determination For why All things come on and keep their course even as they are led by the image of Justice Man onely excepted which by reason of his free-will draweth out of order 〈◊〉 from the mark refuseth that which is good and through the burden of his flesh inclineth unto evil E. K. He teacheth himself In the which evil whilst he dwelleth and continueth lo the course of necessity taketh hold upon him and draweth him unto the scope or end whereunto he inclineth himself For behold Although he be before sanctified unto the Lord and made a chosen vessel wherein if he continue necessarily he shall enjoy the reward and glory of the sanctified Yet if he lose that Necessity and fly from his own law and condition taking part with the filthinesse and iniquity of his enemy through Satan or his flesh of Necessity he must perish For as those that are good tied unto the law of goodnesse are glorified if they continue so likewise are the evil tyed unto the law of wickednesse the Necessity whereof is damnable This is the cause that the Prophets are visited Because God found them punishing their flesh despising the vanities of the world and resisting Satan For lo the Lord looked down unto the earth And he saw them despising wickednesse fearing him and grounded in the faith of redemption Therefore he thrust himself in amongst them and through the first part of necessity in merc he visited them Take heed ô yo that the Lord of necessity visiteth in Justice for your burden shall be great and intolerable E. K. He is gone Δ We read and discoursed a pretty while E. K. Here he is again ..... Now unto the rest What is therefor that necessity divine against the which there is no prayer nor resistance For why it is evident That sinners may return and those that erre may be brought into the right way and that by Prayer Behold no man is penitent but he useth Prayer No man satisfieth but he useth Prayer No man taketh part with the Church but in Prayer for Prayer is the Key sanctified by the Holy Ghost which openeth the way unto God Necessity had determined the destruction of Ninevee necessity also saved it For lo when they should necessarily have received reward for their wickednesse they prayed and resisted necessity It appeareth therefore not yet what necessity that is that Prayer prevaileth not against Note here The later necessity is necessity leading malum ad malum bonum ad bonum which necessity is that which is tyed unto every thing leading it unto the end that it desireth Even as God seeing the Prophets for sake the loathsomnesse of their flesh and framing themselves to the necessity which leadeth unto good of his meer mercy in the first thrust himself amongst them fixing their later and desired necessity with a necessity of his Omnipotent and unspeakable mercy wherein there dwelleth two things Joy and Perseverance These therefore as the Prophet which are visited with God in mercy are fed nourished and fostered as the Prophets were with these two dishes Whereof the greatest is Perseverance Herein I teach you that he that is first

The Omnipotent God be praised for evermore his holy Name be glorified Now John Dee I Raphael am n w come at Gods pleasure and at his commandment to speak with thee and make known unto thee as far forth as in my power lieth to speak God hath sent me to declare unto thee the cause of thy desire now at this time John Dee as thou art an earthly man if thou dost desire to have help from God of such things as earthly men cannot he without while they have time here in this mortal life thou desirest to have knowledge as concerning things hid the which I Raphael have no delight neither pleasure in speaking of any such earthly matter or earthly cases But my delight is in the Almighty and in his wisdome But notwithstanding at this request and thy inward desire in God to be certified of this treasure the which these two men whom thou knowest do speak of they ever had a time appointed of God for it and it was not used accordingly as they should have done Now this second time because you have a desire to have help and knowledge at the hands of the Almighty I Raphael do command thee and those men whom thou knowest that they shall not intermeddle or to take it in hand before the tenth day of January be past f r if they do they shall not prevail for that is a time that God hath best appointed for the said purpose and for the quiet enjoying of it so when that day is past then let them in the name of God enter into that 〈◊〉 And if they will be such men as they ought for to be and as Gods will is that they should be to deal faithfully and truly one with the other in deed and in word God will then bless their good purpose and bring it to their head when they shall take in hand to open the earth God will presently at that instant then suffer their good purpose to take effect and the matter to be effected and had so that they shall not be put off if they shall heare or see any thing that they shall dislike but safely to stand in the hope and craving at Gods hand to have that good help to be a warrant between them and all hurt and danger whatsoever may behappen and so overcome I say If they will faithfully pray unto God with their whole trust in God God will bless their good success if they be otherwise then as good never stir and their good success will be against them So I Raphael have made kuown unto thee Gods purpose in this thy request For this I have said John Dee I Raphael did make known unto this desire of that secret and that great gift that gave unto thee in such order and manner as thou knowest where thou hidst it and that never as yet hadst the knowledge and the wisdome that God will give thee as concerning that and many mo such unto thee So this rare gift being taken away from thee by them thou knowest by taking thy key and so taking of it from thy keeping it was the will and purpose of God that I Raphael should give such ... that thou shouldest have knowledge ... of the same Thou shalt take such course .... thou mayest obtain it again and when thou hast it thou shalt put it into the same chest again and commit it into the custody and keeping of thy very friend John Pontoys and he shall and will deal faithfully and friendly with thee in keeping the same until such time as by that ... the which thou knowest is promised unto thee that thou shalt receive the perfect understanding of the hid knowledge and secrecie of God that is not as yet made known unto thee and ..... as hath been said so shalt thou have such wisdome delivered unto thee by me Raphael that shall come in such ... and order as hath been late made known unto thee for thy good in such short and speedy time to be performed and so thus much I have made known unto thee as God
f r that thou wilt have but little minde or willingness to come into England again such shall Gods great mercies be towards thee Δ. Then I perceive that I shall not make any great account of keeping my house at 〈◊〉 for any my return hither Mr. Eccleston his Case of his money taken away by one Thomas Webster c. Raph. Thou dost take an hard matter in hand This man Thomas Webster had it and hath it in his keeping as yet but he will not yield that he hath it And for Eccleston to deal by extremities with him he shall prevail little he shall not thereby obtain his purpose But by friendly dealing with the party and in proffering him to be a partaker with him he may yield unto Eccleston But otherwise the matter will grow hard I would from God advise thee John Dee to enter as few of these matters as may be for this will not be compassed except that he shall proceed into the mans house according unto Law and then he shall 〈◊〉 himself into trouble and for the thing never the better but as I have said by friendly dealing he may yield and so far forth as it shall please God I will work by Gods favour to make him yield And thus much I have said and let it suffice It doth remain as yet in a Coffer that is somewhat of a white colour but he will if he be stirred he will then remove it and hide it in the ground in a little Parlour that he hath And so I have spoken and answered thee at this time as concerning Δ. Money I had sent me from the Emperour by Hans Bik I marvel that it is not yet come hither Raph. For that John Pontoys will make known unto thee all to thy good And in whose Name and in his whose Power I came so now again I return to that place to the which in his mercies bring all his blessed Creatures yielding all honour and praise unto his holy Name I end Amen Amen Δ.

The Creature IN the Name of him that created me Raphael and all the blessed Creatures and likewise in his power made all the world and all things therein contained Jesus Christ of his great goodness hath sent me now at his will and so I am bound at his will to return when his pleasure is All honour be given to him being God Almighty for evermore Amen John Dee I am Raphael that last appeared unto you and I through Gods good pleasure did set down and made known unto thee what pretended course God would have thee to enter into and his will is such that so far forth and so speedily as thou canst to proceed in it because that God hath great service for thee to do when thou shalt be there placed And now I do let thee understand that as concerning Eccleston his suit and matter that I did at my last being here speak of so far forth as it pleased God to give me his free will and now God hath sent me for favour that God doth bear unto thee and not for no cause else I Raphael do now tell thee that this matter and all such like unto it are not for me to enter into neither for any such as be of that high Society and Calling as I am of Yet notwithstanding I am ready by Gods merciful goodness to command those whom God hath and doth appoint to serve under me and such his blessed Creatures being those that do stand in his presence I Raphael will at Gods pleasure command those that shall deal in Ecclestons suit in constraining by such Creatures as I have made known unto you that they shall force and constrain these parties as he which he had in hand he is one James Bolton is another and the Treasure was carried to the Carpenter his brothers house and there as I did shew unto thee a Coffer of white colour Those parties are so troubled in minde that they cannot be quiet how or where to place the Treasure because they would keep it close But let this suffice and satisfie for the whole answer in this his suit I Raphael through Gods power will command such Creatures that shall constrain those parties to bring the matter to true light and confess the said Treasure and he the party the owner to have his money again in so short time as may be pleasing and acceptable unto the Almighty God will have the whole matter made known in this order without any further trouble unto the parties but it is his will that he shall examine them in friendly manner if they will not yield then by the force of a Justice in examination but they will not yield till such time as I by these Creatures shall make them to yield through Gods help to their sorrow and so the party the owner shall so come by his goods again And now I have answered you in as ample manner as God will have me for as I have sai such matters are not for me but that course that I have now declared by Gods help shall be performed And so in the Name of the Highest for this I do now end giving praise to the Almighty And furthermore John Dee in few words for thy sake If this Window by his Creatures should have medled in the cause they should have had a great labour But notwithstanding that which I have spoken of is sufficient praised be the Name of God and so I end Δ. If it should not offend then I would gladly know the sum of the Treasure Raph. Two thousand and a half and odde money Δ. How in gold and silver Raph. More then three parts thereof in gold Δ. Most humbly and heartily I thank the Almighty for ..... Raph. John Dee if thou dost doubt of any thing as concerning the entring into the course of thy Journey and likewise if thou dost doubt of any thing that shall be against thy good success when thou art there Now speak and I shall through Gods mercies make thee answer as it may and shall please God to the good direction of any thing that thou shalt doubt of for God will not command thee to enter into that Journey but that he will most mercifully and graciously be thy keeper and
deliver thee from the hands of thy enemies in thy Journey And for the good health of thy body God will so carry thee in good health that thou shalt set forth such service when thou art there placed that shall be thy great comfort unto Gods honour in making of his marvellous works to be known And thus much for thy comfort through Gods merciful goodness I have made known unto thee and so I end Δ. ..... John Dee God doth know all this that thou dost speak of In few words to end many words 〈◊〉 will so direct thy wayes in ending such troubles as shall be to thy good and speedy finishing Δ ..... John Pontoys before such time as thou shalt have any great cause to use his aid and furtheremore God will so work for thee in the heart of his Master whom he is Factor for Stapers I mean that Stapers shall with all the aid and help that he can to further 〈◊〉 good proceeding And so God in all cases will thus graciously deal with thee And now is my full time to depart in Gods peace and to serve him from whom I came his mighty Name Δ. I fearing his sudden departure did earnestly urge at his hands to know the truth of Tobias his history and so half unmannerly did interrupt his speech with my question John Dee I am Raphael that is appointed of God to be thy Guide in this thy Journey and I am that same Raphael that was the Guide unto young Tobias in his long Journey and delivered him from the power of the wicked Spirit Asmodeus who had as thou knowest how many he had destroyed and I brought him through Gods power home again and delivered him in health unto his own parents And thus much I have made thee plainly to understand without any doubting to the contrary And so now once again I do depart All honour and glory to the everlasting God both now and for evermore Amen Amen Δ. Amen 17 July AFter dinner horam circiter 4½ as Bartholomew and I talked of divers of my doings with Mr. Kelley a Voice produced this to Bartholomews hearing A Voice ..... I John Dee I have heard you all this while Thou shalt be able to do and to see and to understand more than all this as thou hast spoken of according as God hath promised thee Δ. Blessed be his holy Name and his mercies be magnified on me to the honour of his holy Name Amen Δ. Note ..... Upon occasion of further talk and speech of my Jewel that was brought I asked Bartholomew if ever he had seen it since it was set in gold and he thought that he had not seen it Whereupon I went speedily to my Chest unlocked it and took it out and undid the Case and set the Stone in his due manner And by and by did Raphael appear in the Stone and in voice said thus as followeth Raph. In the Name of Jesus Christ I am Raphael whose voice thou didst hear right now And now in Gods holy Name for thy good and for thy comfort I have now here in this Pearl entred Possession in 〈◊〉 hereafter to be that blessed Creature to be obedient unto Gods Commandment to serve thee at all times when thou art placed in thy Journey which God hath commanded thee And likewise thou shalt have the book from whence this came And that Dust which thou hast in keeping the which thou dost make account of 〈◊〉 better but dust Then it shall be turned to the right use from whence it was and to that good purpose that God hath ordained for to do And now it was the will of God that I should speak unto thee a few words of this good comfort to be performed Praise God honour his holy Name for his great blessings now and for ever That it did please the Almighty to send me to your presence in token of his love for his great mercy And so now in his Name I go again into the presence of the Almighty whose Name be ever praised with all his elect Angels and all the blessed Creatures of God and all the blessed Creatures upon earth praise his Name for evermore Amen Amen Δ. Amen Δ. O Lord God most humbly heartily and sincerely I honour thee praise thee and extoll thy mercies and most loving kindness for these and all other thy graces and blessings on me Accept O God my hearty thanks and enable me so to thank thee as may be a most acceptable sacrifice unto thy Divine Majesty Amen Amen Amen 1607.
