Mane, hor. 8. After our prayer jointly, and my long prayer at my desk requesting God to deal with us so as might be most for his glory, in his mercies, &c.: at length appeared in the Stone a white cloud, seven- cornered. And behind the cloud a thunder seemed to issue. VOICE: 'When I gathered you, you were chosen of the midst of iniquity: whom I have clothed with garments made and fashioned with my own hand. I, AM, therefore believe.' I prayed and thanked the Highest that so mercifully regarded our misery. VOICE: ' I, AM.' E.K.: 'Now standeth Uriel upon the cloud.' URIEL: "'I have measured time," saith the Lord, "and it is so. I have appointed to the heavens their course, and they shall not pass it.''': 'Seeing it is said that in 40 days the book shall be finished: and seeing it is said that our former instructors shall not come nor appear to us till the book be finished: and seeing, heretofore, the book used to appear to E.K., that he might write whensoever he bent himself thereto: and seeing the same book appeareth not so now: and seeing we are desirous to be found diligent in this work, and to omit no opportunity wherein the writing thereof might be furthered: we would gladly know what token or warning shall be given us, henceforward, when due time serveth for the same purpose.' URIEL: 'Die in the folly: I have said.' E.K.: 'It thundreth and lightneth about the cloud: and now all is vanished away.' E.K. said that at the very beginning of this day's Action, when he expressed the first voice (this day) heard of him, his belly did seem to him to be full of fire: and that he thought verily that his bowels did burn: and that he looked downward toward his legs to see if anything appeared on fire, calling to his mind the late chance that befell to the adulterous man and woman by St Bride's Church in London, &c. 16 Also that when he had made an end, he thought his belly to be wider, and enlarged, much more than it was before.. I said certain prayers to the Almighty our God and most merciful Father, on my knees, and E.K. on his knees likewjse answered divers times 'Amen'. After this, we made A.G. to understand these the mercies of the Highest: and he rejoiced greatly, and praised the Lord: and so E.K. was fully satisfied of his doubts. And A.G. and he were reconciled of the great discord which yesterday had been between them &c.
