Easter Day after noon about 4. E.K. heard first a sound of musical harmony. The veil was plucked away. Three came in, two went away, as was before accustomed. E.K. felt the thing run in his head as the other day it did. Medicina Dei taketh out the rod from under the table. He said: 'Eternity in heaven.' Upon my staying from speech, he said: 'What wilt thou?': 'It may seem that very long time will be requisite to this doctrine receiving: but if it be God's good liking, we would fain have some abridgement or compendious manner whereby we might the sooner be in the work of God's service.'16 E.K.: 'The chair and the table are snatched away, and seem to fly toward heaven. And nothing appeared in the Stone at all, but was all transparent clear.': 'If the Lord be offended with his younglings and novices in these mysteries, for propounding or requiring a compendious method &c., then we are very sorry and ask forgiveness for the rashness of our lips, and desire his Majesty not to deal so rigorously with us.' E.K.: 'Now cometh all down again, as before.' MEDICINA DEI: 'What are the sons of men, that they put time in her own bosom? Or measure a judgement that is unsearchable? Lo, until the secrets of this book be written, I come no more. Say what you hear, for every word shall be named unto you: it is somewhat a shorter way, and more according to your desire. I go.' E.K.: 'He plucketh the veil over all.'
