Friday, Trebon:e. Prayers to God 1 made in respect of this strange and new doctrine, requiring his Divine Majesty to be merciful unto us, and to give us wisdom and faith that we may herein please him; and that we cannot find how we may do the thing required, being contrary to the laws of Moses, Christ, his Church, and of all nations. Therefore seeing God is not contrary to himself, we desired that we might not be contrary to him or his laws, Cre. Not long, 10, there appeared a great flame of fire in the principal Stone (both standing on the Table before E.K.), which thing though he told me, 1 made no end of my prayer to God. And behold, suddenly one seemed to come in at the south window of the chapel, right against E.K. (But before that, 'the Stone was heaved up a handful high and set down again well, which thing E.K. thought did signify some strange matter toward.) Then after, the man that came in at the window seemed to have his nether parts in a cloud, and with spread-abroad arms to come toward E.K., at which sight he shrinked back somewhat. And then that creature took up between both his hands the Stone and frame of gold, and mounted up away as he came. E.K. catched at it, but he could not touch it. At which thing being so taken away, and at the sight thereof, E.K. was in a great fear and trembling, and had tremorem cordis for a while. 10 But I was very glad and well pleased. E.K.: 'Here appeareth a fire in this other Stone also, and a man in the fire, with flaxen hair hanging down upon him, and is naked unto his paps; and seemeth to have spots of blood upon him. He spake, and said as followeth: "Contrary to myself, I teach you nothing. For this doctrine is not to be published to mortal men: but is given unto you, to manifest your faith, and to make you worthy in the sight of the heavens, for believing in me of your vocation to come. '''Your unity and knitting together is the end and consummation of the beginning of my harvest. For I will not dally with you, but I will be mighty in deed amongst you. And 10, I will shortly open your eyes, and you shall see: and I will say, ARISE, and you shall go out. What I am, I am." 'The flame and all is disappeared.' E.K. said after that his body had in it like a fiery heat, even from his breast down unto all his parts, his privities and thighs. +E hor. 2 a meridie.
