Saturday, ante meridiem circa 10. Praga!. As 1 and E.K. sat in my little study: after our talk of divers matters, and of my expecting audience at the Emperor his hand, &c., E.K. saw three little creatures walk up and down in the sunshine, about an handful from the pavement: and the creatures themselves very small, not an handful long, like little shadows or smokes, and the path wherein they walked seemed yellow. They walked a good -while to and fro, till at length 1 suspected that they were sent to us: and so prepared the Show-Stone. But E.K. said, he had rather see them thus out of the Stone. 1 said that in the Stone we have warrant that no wicked thing shall enter: but without the Stone, illuders might deal with us, unless God prevented it, &c. E.K. said again, he had rather deal thus. E.K.: 'Now two of them seem to kneel down in the sunbeams.' One of them sayeth: 'We are they that must direct your practices. Behold, let us give testimony of our names. My name is-Ga.' E.K.: 'He in the middle.' 'My name is-Za.' 'My name is-Vaa.' 'Thou shalt find us amongst the merciful tables delivered unto Enoch:4 and so unto you.' THE MIDDLEMOST: 'I am of the third table, and am extreme.' ZA: 'I am of the third, but of the humanity, and the second.' VAA: 'And 1 am of the fourth, but angular and extreme, linear of the uppermost.' E.K.: 'They are out of sight.': 'Shall I use any other means, to be heard of the Emperor, than as I have done?' VOICE: 'Follow that which is commanded thee.'
