you a Seal yet secret and not known Δ. Zach. 13. Et erit dies una quae nota est Domino c. Behold now cometh that day that is known unto the Lord himself wherein the Kingdoms of the earth shall begin to fall that they may perceive how they have run astray and how weak they are in the triumph of their pompe And now out of Hierusalem out of the Church of God and of his Son Christ shall passe out and flow the water of life That the sayings of the Angels and Spirit of the Lord may be verified upon the face of the earth spoken by his annointed Zachary Now shall those dayes open themselves which are the dayes of vengeance Now Now shall these woes that have been spoken of and sealed burst out to the confusion of the wicked and the establishment of his Kingdom which is annointed Behold I teach thee Those that inhabit the holy City and usurp the authority of the Highest are called in remembrance before the Lord and they shall be scattered like unto the mighty hail that the spirits of the North have gathered against the day of revenge They are become proud and think there is no God They are stiff-necked for they are the 〈◊〉 of wickedness Lo in the dayes of Rodolph shall this come to passe of whom the Lord hath said If he hear me and believe my words I will place Thee Δ unto him as a mighty rock I will open unto thee Δ for his instructions and safeguard to come my determinations in hand and lo to come And when he hath wiped away his darknesse and offence of his soul I will appear unto him to the terrour of all Nations For I rejoyce when I exalt such as are weak And when I help the comfortlesse am I magnified Δ. Thanks honour and glory is due to thee O our God Uriel ..... And behold the day of this visitation and of the execution of my judgements is at hand And lo I open unto you another Seal Because I have said unto you I am true and just In the year eighty eight shall you see the Sun move contrary to his course The Stars encrease their light and some of them fall from heaven Then shall the Rivers run blood Then shall the wo be unto women with child Then shall the time come to passe that this Prophesie shall be known For lo the Lord hath prepared his Prophet and he shall descend from the Heavens as it is written by Malachiah the Prophet Behold I will send before that day not that day I spoke of but the great day of the Lord Elias again amongst you In the mean season will I be mercifull unto Rodolph and will bring into his house such as shall be skilfull unto whom I will give my spirit to work Gold Silver and the Ornaments of his house And he shall perceive that I blesse him In that I have tied him to my Garments If he hear thee not Behold I have one in store Yea such an one as cleaveth unto Justice Man is but a Reed that is shaken with every winde The pride of Kings is as the beauty of a Peacock See how they run all astray See how they tempt the spirits of righteousnesse Lo as I have said unto thee I reserve that wicked King not that I will be mercifull unto him But that he shall shortly perish with an eternal scourge And now hear me what I say unto thee Hereafter see thou tempt me not Neither look for my presence after this order But for great causes For lo this is the end of Teaching Now cometh in the time of warning and of counsel Δ. Will you give me leave to speak Uriel ..... Say Δ. I trust it shall not offend God at any time to call for Uriel his light in matters dark to us and above our capacity Also in Enoch his Tables understanding and enjoying we are to require help of instruction at Ave and so of other points and Doctrines already begun we are to require their help who have begun with us c. Uriel ..... As far as the Lord hath suffered you to enter into his Garden Even so far I say Taste and eat Δ. The entrance yet we have not but the manner to enter The perfect practise is the best entrance Uriel ..... Man speaketh not with thee wherefore dost thou wrast the Lord All things that are delivered thee are plain Δ. Lord I do thus speak to be perfectly instructed in what sense your words are to be understood when you said This is the end of teaching Δ. Vriel or perhaps in the name of God Uriel ..... Thou hast called upon me and I have heard thee Thou hast desired comfort and I have comforted thee Thou hast the spirit of choice Be it sufficient unto thee that the Garden of the Lord is open unto thee where there is no hunger nor thirst but a filling spirit a comforter †What care is it unto me if the Kings of the earth say Lo this is not of me Lo this is not of the highest Δ. Ex Dei lumine Uriel ..... Behold I am the light and servant of God Blessed are those which believe and are made partakers in this Testimony by the which you are become Prophets and are sanctified for the coming of the Lord. But lo why do I speak unto you who have defiled your selves I will take up those things that I have and will be gone Lo blessed is he that giveth ear unto the Lord. E. K. Now all is vanished away and he is disappeared Wheele Eagle Citie and all c. Δ. All laud thanks honour and glory be to the eternal Almighty most just Judge and mercifull father our God the God of Heaven and earth whom of his infinite goodnesse we beseech to have mercy upon us and to purifie our hearts and consciences granting us humble contrition and sincere confession of our transgressions and iniquities whatsoever Amen Note While I was thus requesting God E. K. made a vow of penance during his life in token of hearty sorrowfulnesse for his fault in that dayes action noted never to eat his supper or evening meal on Saturdayes during his life wherein I beseech the highest to regard his inward intent and his continual memory of the Lord his mercies in sparing him when he most had offended him Δ.

The third beame upon the word Exi pronounced Note also that the manner of the firy brightnesse was such and the grisely countenances of the Monsters was so tedious and greivous and displeasant to 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
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. 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. 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

Mane horam circiter 9. Δ. We thanked God for his safe bringing us hither to the place appointed by him We desired him to direct us as the rest of our Action requireth And thirdly for the Book with silver leaves to be prepared we required instruction as we were promised Anon after E. K. his looking into the Shew-stone he said I see a Garland of white Rose-buds about the border of the Stone They be well opened but not full out Δ. The great mercies of God be upon us and we beseech him to increase our faith in him according to his well liking E. K. Amen E. K. But while I consider these buds better they seem rather to be white Lillies Δ. The eternal God of his infinite mercies wipe away our blacknesse and sins and make us pure and whiter than Snow E. K. They are 72 in number seeming with their heads alternatim one to bend or hang toward me and another toward you They seem also to move circularly toward the East but very slowly In the middest of this Circle appeareth a little fire of the colour of yern hot ready to melt from which fire to every one of the said lillies is a fiery beam extended which beam toward the end is of more whitish fiery colour than it is near the center A voice ... E. K. A voice cometh shouting out from the Lillies saying Holy Holy Holy and all the lillies are become on fire and seem to tumble into that fire And now they appear again distinctly as before And the fire remained in the center still and the emanation of beams came from it still to the foresaid lilly buds E. K. I hear a sound as though it were of many waters poured or streaming down in the clifts of great Rocks and Mountains The noise is marvellous great which I hear coming through the Stone as it were of a thousand water-mills going together A voice ..... Est. Another voice ..... Seemeth to pray over quo modo est A voice ..... Male in summo mensuratum est E. K. I hear a great roaring as if it were out of a Cloud over ones head most perfectly like a thunder Another voice ..... The Seal is broken Another ..... Poure out the sixth Violl that the earth may know her self Viola Sexta These are the dayes of wo that are spoken of E. K. Now I see beyond like a Furnace-mouth as big as 4 or 5 Gates of a City It seemeth to be a quarter of a mile off out of the Furnace-mouth seemeth a marvellous smoke or smother to come By it seemeth to be a great Lake of pitch and it playeth or simpreth as water doth when it beginneth to seethe There standeth by the pit a white man in a white garment tucked up his face is marvellous fair he saith very loud A white spiritual Creature ..... Ascend E. K. Now there cometh out of the Lake a thing like a Lion in the hinder parts and his fore part hath many heads of divers fashions and all upon one trunk of a neck He hath like feathers on his neek He hath 7 heads Three on one side and three on another and one in the middle which branch from the neck is longer than the other and lieth backward to his taile-ward The white man giveth him a bloody Sword and he taketh it in his forefoot The white man tyeth this Monster his 4 legs with a chain that he cannot go but as one shackled or fettred Now he giveth the Monster a great hammer with a seal at that end where the hammer striketh and the other is fashioned like a hatchet The white man said ..... A horrible and terrible beast ..... E. K. This the white man said with a loud cry A voice out of the little fire ..... Seal him for two years of the Seven For so long is his power The Stars with the Earth even to the third part are given unto thee The fourth part thou shalt leave untouched E. K. The white man taketh the hammer and striketh him in the forehead of that head which is in the middle and lieth down backward toward his taile E. K. Now all this vision is vanished away The Stone is clear E. K. Now Madimi appeareth and she seemeth to be bigger than she was Madimi .....

E. He is gone beyond a thing like a Hill Δ. After half a quarter of an hour he came again E. K. He hath a pair of Tables in his hand made as of white bone and therein are many names written orderly one under another E. K. If I thought this to be of God and this to be Vriel indeed it were another matter but their too much familiarity maketh me doubt Δ. The old saying is true in you Nimia familiaritas parit contemptum Uriel ..... Believe me by Heaven and Earth I am true Uriel E. K. He hath another Book holden unto him by one standing by him who is like a shadow Uriel ..... Give ear say and chuse for after this time there is no choice d ee thy age and continuance in this world in flesh according to the finger and second proportion which you call Nature is 73 years and a half and here it is Δ. pointing to the other Book E. K. He that is like a shadow openeth the Book it seeming to be of yern or steel In which Book appeareth divers names as Bamasan Corsax Tohomaphala c. Δ. They seemed to be the names of good Angels proper to peculiar men Uriel ..... Thou E. K. dost more than thou art commanded Yet cease a while Δ. Because he E. K. read these names E. K. He spreadeth a thing like a Cloud before them E. K. Now he appeareth again and the other with him E. K. Sudsamna appeareth in the Book and against it 46. Uriel ..... So much shalt thou E. K. live by nature and die violently E. K. Now he is covered again E. K. Now he is here again E. K. Aflafben standeth written in that Book and 73 with a prick over the upper part of the figure 3. E. K. The Book is very big and full of names and numbers against them the leaves are very thin E. K. Now Vriel openeth his book himself And there appeareth against Aflafben 122. And against Sudsamna appeareth 87. Uriel ..... Beyond the which you cannot Notwithstanding this life is alwayes given by God or at the 〈◊〉 of some one or mo of us his Angels The other is natural notwithstanding is shortened through the sin of man I am a witness to my self that these books and words are true E. K. Now he is in his Cloud again Δ. After a while they appeared again as before E. K. They look very gravely on their books Uriel ..... Behold my brethren God is ready to open his merciful store-houses and gates of understanding unto you But he that liveth for himself and for the end of this shadow limiteth his wisdom with this number and shall both have an end at once But he that turneth him to the wall and weepeth bitterly shall enter into this Book But he must not build his own house but an house for the Lord Neither must he be visited by the challenge of promise but by the meer mercy and good will of God and at his pleasure and appointment He that hath understanding let him hear Behold This his pen is a pen of Steel But that that I raze withal is of Gold and a piercing Instrument If therefore your visitation shall be after to morrow and that you covet to build because you are men Then give your names unto the yern But if you will remember the Lord and adde any thing unto his building faithfully Then vow your names unto me In the name of him which created you After this time there is no choice Therefore consider for never before but once was this mystery and mercy of God opened unto man E. K. Now he hath drawn the Cloud to him Δ. I am not able O Lord to give thee condigne thanks for these mercies But thy will be done Not as we will nor as we have rashly and blindly before chosen But this is our choice to be thy servants all the dayes of our life and we desire not long life so much as the favour which addeth those dayes wherein our faith may be fruitful through thy graces abounding in us I renounce my former choice I challenge no promise But require thee O God of thy fatherly goodnesse to be my light director staff strength defence and comfort now and ever Amen Uriel ..... Alwayes call unto me for the Testimony and witnesse of the promise of God and the remembrance of this day E. K. He hath written after the numbers in his own Book Est Est. Δ.

Now deai with Rodolph and be not slack for until thou have talked with him I appear no more Thy haste shall prevent the slander of wicked tongues whom Satan hath already stirred up against thee Δ. I understand of none Uriel ..... It is best thou understand it not at all E. K. He putteth a Cloud over all the Stone like a white wrink'ed Curtain and so disappeareth Δ.

Manè hora 7. †Pragae I received the Noble Octavius Spinola his answer by Emericus as concerning my accepting of the Emperour his gratious former answer of condescending to my request so much as he conveniently could which my answer yesterday night late was delivered to the Noble Spinola Whereunto he said that my Answer would be most acceptable unto the Emperour and that to morrow meaning this Thursday the honourable Doctor Curtz should understand the Emperours pleasure herein Hereupon I willed Emericus to go up to the Castle and to bring himself in sight of the Noble Spinola if he could Thereby to help his memory for warning and information to be given to the said Doctor Curtz That so we might come together so soon as conveniently might be Deo omnis laus honor gloria Amen Thursday Septembris 13. Manè horam circiter 9. †Pragae Δ. Precibus finitis and the case propounded of the Emperour his Answer for dealing with Doctor Curtz a man of his Privy Council faithful learned and wise upon the considerations alledged I requested of God his pleasure to be signified unto me by some of his faithful and true Messagers whether I shall openly and frankly deal with this Doctor so as the Emperour by him may understand that which he should have done at my mouth and hands originally And whether I may both alone with the Emperour and before and with the said Doctor deal in this Action as occasion shall serve from time to time at my discretion informed by his secret grace divine Δ. Nothing appearing or being heard in a quarter of an hour space I suspected some of our misdoings to be the cause of the Lord his refraining to answer and thereupon I did fall to prayer for mercy and grace and deliverance from the assaults and malitious purposes of the Devil against us And that I did the rather because as I felt my good Angel 〈◊〉 other good friend in vertue so I felt Pilosum sensibly busie and as it were to errisie me with my offences past or to put me out of hope at this present from being heard But I held on to pray divers Psalms and at length against the wicked tempters purposely After my prayers and assuring E. K. that the spiritual enemy was here busie and attended to frustrate this dayes Action He answered that against him E. K. he could not prevail or accuse him for his late notable fault for he had made a reckoning and sorrowful bewailing for that his trespass to the Lord and that he doubted not of forgiveness and that he was so reconciled to God that Satan nor any other wicked accuser could put him in any doubt of God his mercy c. And he spake very well both of repentance Gods mercies his justice and of these Actions Mary he confessed that by reason he himself was an unmeet person to come before the Emperour or Princes c. and therefore if it would please God to discharge him of further medling so by reason he might seem well at ease c. At length after an hour appeared Vriel but with a Scarf before his face as he had last Δ. God send us the brightnesse of his countenance when it shall please him Uriel ..... True it is that in respect of the terrour and force of God his wrath and indignation in 1 Judgement Reconciliation is made through that power which is given unto the Lamb to whom all power is given in Heaven and Earth But with the 2 congregation and the members of Christ his body the number of the faithful the Church of God you have not made reconciliation And therefore are not sinners worthy to behold the face of true light and understanding for there is a double Reconciliation One and the firs between the Conscience and the Judge through the force of faith and repentance that is to say Reconciliation against Judgement Another the secon Reconciliation between the Spirit of Truth the Church of Go and mans Conscience Behold I teach you a mystery 1. Those that are at one with God shall not be judged with the wicked in the last Judgement Notwithstanding the Justice of God is pure and undefiled and suffereth not mans fault unpunished 2. But he that is at one with the Spirit of God is made one with him and without punishment For there are many things that God beareth witnesse of in the soul and secret Chambers of man that neither the blessed already dignified nor to be dignified do or can know which is the cause that the soul of man after his body sleepet being found polluted is received and snatched up of such as are the Messagers of punishment and so according to the multitude of their sins are in horrour and punishment Therefore not all that are punished shall be damned Neither is it evident unto the Angels who shall be saved I speak generally Therefore when you offend be also reconciled unto the Mother of the house that you may have place before such as are reproved Herein you may understand the retaining of sin For the retaining of sin is a judgement And therefore it is necessary that God should hold a general day that those that have trusted in him and inwardly have been sorry for their offences may also taste of his mercy Else how could it be verified that the Prophet saith If in Hell thou art also there But here there is a Caution All sins that are forgiven by the Church passe not the fire but he that is forgiven in his heart by God in his Son Christ and 2 reconciled through the holy Spirit to the body from whence he is fallen is safe as well from the wrath of God to come as the punishment due unto his offences And therefore is the reconciling of brethren of great force Wherefore hath Christ left his body with the Church Wherefore is he called the bread of Life I say unto you my brethren that the body of Christ dignified and glorified is true bread is true comfort which cleanseth sinners that are penitent and wipeth away the punishment of adversity Happy are those that eat of him and that account not his body as the shadow of a candle Behold I teach you Even as the Spirit of God filleth the Congregation of the faithful so doth the body of Christ now dignifie fill and cleanse all that receive with sorrow sorrow I mean for their wickednesse But lo his body is become an offence unto the world Many there are that say This is Christ But behold I teach you Even as all things were made by him spiritually So are all that are of his Elect nourished through him bodily Lo he is become one power one God in that he is neither

K. For what end saith he all this O ye Infidels and of little faith which tast of the meat that was hidden from the Prophets which are over-shadowed with the light of heaven which have alwayes associated with the holy Ministers of God wherefore are you so stiff-necked pleasant is the yoke wherein you are linked and honourable is the earth that you draw the plow upon for the Lord followeth and his Angels drive and the seed that is sown shall be the beginning of glory O yee stiff-necked people why for sake you your visitation or runne astray from your faith that you are driven in do you make much of the Lords of the earth Do you delight in her drosse that harlot money Do you give reverence to the King and stand you in fear to break his Lawes have you a greater Lord then the Lord of Heaven and Earth have you any money or jewels to be compared to his Grace have you any honour on Earth that can stand up against the Crown of Heaven where 〈◊〉 God crowneth those that are Victors Have you any Law sweeter then the 〈◊〉 illuminations and sweet dew like comforts the voices and presence of the holy angels Be mindful be mindful and lift up your selves and be not blind but consider the time of your visitation and that which you do is the work of a King a King which is able in power strength and majestie to exalt you to strengthen you and to make you honourable but in the end of the Visitation and in the reward of your faithfulnesse work not to day and be sorry to morrow But lay sorrow a fide and continue your labour least peradventure God unhood-wink and make open the sight of Satan and so deliver you Wo wo be unto them that are delivered for beleeve me their tribulation is great There is horrour and gnashing of teeth there is misery and vengeance for ever there is horrour and the worm of conscience But two things are to be considered here whether the temptation be greater then the resistance or the resistance more dignified then the rigor of temptation Behold the work is great the labour is also equal unto it And to fight against the Princes of darknesse in a set battail requireth great force The temptations therefore that follow you must needs be great I see therefore the temptations surmounteth your strength and your dignity is not such as 〈◊〉 resist against it For why Satan striveth not with you simply for the sinne of Adultery for the dregs of Fornication for the covetous desire of money for the want of charity or because you are proud But he striveth riseth up against you and tempteth you against the Lord and against the strength of his truth whereunto you are elected Therefore I give sentence Lo because that temptations hath entred into you above your power and not so much for the subverting as of the work of the Lord intended and of necessity to be done Therefore I proceed not against you but against Satan and God shall deliver you from your temptations And this shall be a sign and token that I will hamper and bridle the jawes of theenemy that is to say so long as thou Kelly art in this flesh never shall there appear or visibly shew himself unto thee any wicked or evil spirit neither shalt thou be haled in peeces as thou hast been whosoever therefore appeareth hereafter is of God For thy eyes shall be shut up from the wicked object Et intellectu tuo Non introibit umbra mortis But now take heed thou either perverse or froward stiff-necked or disobedient The sinne is of thy self and shall fall upon thee and thou shalt not be spared as thou hast been Now watch and gird up your selves and do the will of the Highest preferre and worship truth that you may be also worshipped Lift up your selves as the servants of God and help to bring stones unto the building of this great City that you may be openers of the Gates and that the white horse may enter and that he that entreth may reward you with honour Greater then you are in the dignity of truth are not amongst mortal men neither shall there be any amongst mortal men that shall more despise the World then you therefore hath God framed one of you as a stiffe made asse to bind up the countenance of his work and to be free from yielding unto Satan which well understandeth that Satan endevoureth and that his Ministers cry out against this glorious habitation which being built the
