Friday, hor. 2Yz a meridie. E.T. would not willingly now deal with the former creatures: utterly misliking and discrediting them, because they willed him to marry. Neither would he put off his hat in any prayer to God, for the Action with them: whereupon 1 went into my oratory, and called unto God for his divine help for the understanding of his laws and virtues which he hath established in and amongst his creatures, for the benefit of mankind, in his service, and for his glory &c. And coming to the Stone, E.T. saw there those two, whom hitherto we were instructed to be Michael and Uriel. E.T.: 'Michael and Uriel both kneeled, holding up their hands: and Michael seemed to sweat water abundantly, somewhat reddish or bloodish. There came seven bundles down (like faggots) from heavenward. There cometh a man as though he were all of perfect pure glistering gold: sometime seeming to have one eye, and sometime three. He taketh off of one of the bundles a thing like a little bird. 'This man blesseth the bird, making a cross over it: and so he did three times. He looketh up to heaven. Now the bird, which before seemed to be but as big as a sparrow, seemeth to be as great as a swan: very beautiful, but of many colours. 'Now looketh Michael up, and held up his hands to heaven. The former beautiful man taketh another bird, and putteth the wing of it behind the wing of the first, as though he yoked them. This second bird, at this his first taking, was as big as the first. A voice was heard, like Michael his voice, saying "It was a bird, and is a bird, absent there is nothing but quantity.'"
