Niepolomice, in the Royal Palace, in the presence of King Stephen, A.L., &c. Mane, horam 7 circiter. In the King's private chamber. Nothing appeared after our first prayers. I prayed again briefly, and still nothing appeared. After our third prayers, however, the fire came from the Stone into E.K.'s eyes. E.K.: 'I hear a mighty voice saying: "I came and saw, and behold, there is no justice." 'Now I see thick smoke come through the veil, like a cloud, and cover the Stone.' SPIRIT: 'Listen carefully, Stephen. Who nurtured you from the cradle? Who protected you? Is it not that King of Glory, by whose grace all power is subjected in heaven and earth? Did he not raise you with his powerful arm, from an ordinary soldier to a greater one, and so to the greatest kingdom? Why, then, did you introduce such a dark cloud, full of so much fog and ingratitude, between your God and your soul?' He shaked his hand at the King, after the Polonian manner. 'Your sins are numbered and multiplied in heaven. Bur if you abandon your impiety, if you bedeck yourself with propriety, and cast out the stinking leprosy from your bosom, I will set aside my anger, and your remaining days will be confirmed in fortitude. The accursed kings and the governors of the world, who have drunk with the cup of the whore (because they neglected my commandments) will fall before your feet, and your sword will be the terror of nations. 'The grace of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit tJ. 181 tJ. be with you always.': ~en.' SPIRIT: 'Bring your family hither with all speed.'IO
