Mter dinner (horam circiter 4Y,) as Barthilmew and I talked of divers of my doings with Kelly, a voice produced this to Barthilmew's hearing: 'John Dee, I have heard you all this while. Thou shalt be able to do, and to see, and to understand more than all this as thou hast spoken of.' Upon occasion of further talk and speech of my jewel that was brought, I asked Barthilmew if ever he had seen it since it was set in gold; and he thought that he had not seen it: whereupon I went speedily to my chest, unlocked it, and took it out, and undid the case, and set the Stone in his due manner. And by and by did Raphael appear in the Stone, and in voice said thus, as followeth. RAPHAEL: 'In the name of Jesus Christ, I am Raphael whose voice thou didst hear right now. I have now, here, in this pearl entered possession, in token hereafter to be that blessed creature, to be obedient unto God's commandment, to serve thee at all times, when thou art placed in thy journey, which God hath commanded thee. And that dust which thou hast in keeping shall be turned to the right use, from whence it was.' d: '0 Lord God, most humbly, heartily and sincerely I honour thee, praise thee, and extol thy mercies and most loving kindness for these and all other thy graces and blessings bestowed on me. Amen, Amen, Amen.'
