Tuesday, mane circa 6. In Niepolomice. E.K.: 'Here is he that was yesterday in our Action with the King.' SPIRIT: '''Woe is me," saith the Lord. "Why do I hold my hand from the earth? Why have all the princes of the world built a tower against me? These in denying me and my majesty: the other wallowing in extreme drunkenness amongst the pleasures and blindness of the flesh. 0 you caterpillars, 0 you that fill the earth with poison. I am full of sorrow: for no man openeth his doors unto me, no man believeth me: no man remembreth that I made heaven and earth. "'Stay a while that I may weep with myself.'" E.K.: 'All the Srone is become black and full of fiery specks.' After we had read the premises- E.K.: 'Here is another now: one in green: a man with nothing on his head but only his yellow hair. 'He hath like a pair of black boots under his garments close to his legs: like buskins &c.' GREEN MAN: 'I teach you...' He paused after a pretty while. GREEN MAN: 'Thus saith the Lord: thou must answer Stephen according to the hardness of his heart. Answer him thus, for the mean: "Lo, King, the God of heaven and earth hath placed me before thee, and hath showed unto thee his will, hath nourished up me his servant from my youth unto this day, in the fear of him and the fervent desire of true wisdom, whereby I have attained (through his help) unto the knowledge and secrets of the things in nature: which knowledge behold in the name of God and for his sake: and because he hath chosen thee, 10, I offer up unto thee, and willingly make thee partaker of." This done, be not afraid to open thy mouth unto him, as thou didst unto Rudolph, in writing: "Behold (0 King), I can make the philosophers' stone, for so they call it. Bear thou therefor the charge, and give me a name within thy Court that I may have access unto thee: and yearly maintenance of thee for us both."11 Command him also, or strike a band of secrecy between him, thyself, and Laski. Take heed thou want not faith, for I will help thee.': 'I beseech you ~e not offended that I ask your name?' GREEN MAN: 'Ilemese.' E.K.: 'He is gone.'
