Monday, a meridie. As E.K. and 1 were talking of my book Soyga, suddenly appeared the spiritual creature which said yesterday that he would come again this day. IL: 'Well, 1 will give you my lesson, and so bid you farewell. Take clean paper. It must be made four inches square. Pray.' We prayed. IL: 'These letters, which 1 shall speak now, thou shalt afterward put them in their proper characters. Never since the beginning of the world was this secret delivered, nor this holy mystery set open, before the weaklings of this world.'2 After that these things were finished, E.K. rose up from the table and went to the west window, to read a letter which was even then brought him from his wife: which being done, he took a little prayer book (in English meter made by one William Hunnis which Mr Adrian Gilbert had here: and it lay on the table by us all the while of this last Action), and with this book he went into his bedchamber, intending to pray on it a certain prayer which he liked. And as he opened the book, his eye espied strange writing in the spare white paper at the book's end,3 and beholding it, judged it verily to be his own letters, and the thing of his own doing: but being assured that he never saw the like of this character before this present hour, he became astonished, and in great wrath. And behold, suddenly one appeared to him and said 'Lo, this is as good as that other', meaning that which we had received. With this news came E.K. to me, as I was writing down fair this last Action,4 and said: 'I have strange matter to impart unto you.'
