Δ: Being desirous to procede in this matter, by consent, we bent our selues to the Action. And after that E.T. had called Uriel and saw him, I cam to the desk from my oratorie. There did contynually appeare, the chayre and the Table. I than being affrayde that any other shold come into the stone, instead of Uriel, did ernestly require the spirituall creature appearing, to shew who he was, and what was his name: At length he answered, and sayde to the hearing of E.T., Uriel is my name, with diuerse called Nariel.202 Stay. Δ: Then he went away, for a while: and cam agayn, and sayd thus, Ur: The strength of God, is allwayes with thee. Dost thow know, what thow writest? Δ: In two senses, I may understand it: eyther that the good Angel Gabriel203 is allwayes with me, thowgh invisibly: or els, that the strength, and mighty hand of God, allwayes is my defense. Ur: Fortitudo Dei, tecum semper est.204 Δ: He went away agayn, and cam agayn, following or wayting uppon an other: and before that other, was a man hauing his hed all couered with blak. Then he that cam so in the middle, did sit down in the chayre, and spake this worde following: Mi: Note. Δ: This was Michael, with his sword in his right hand. Then cam Uriel to the man (hauing his hed all hyd, as it were in a blak hode) and toke-of that blak hode: and then lifted-up the Table cloth. He looked under it, and put it down againe: and lifted it up again. The man stode still before Michael. Then Michael rose; and toke-of all the mans clothes, and left him, as it were, onely in his shirt. Then Uriel toke a little rownd Tablet, as it were, of the bignes of a sixpence, hauing two letters in it, thus: and gaue it to Michaël. Uriel lifted up the Table cloth: and, from thence, seamed to take apparaile, and put on the man. It semed to be sylk: and very full of wrynkles, or plights. And the man kneeled, and held-up his hands. Uriel toke like a lawrell bush, and set uppon the mans hed. And than the man kneeled before Michaël. Michaël toke the rownd thing, with the letters: and gaue it the man to eat: and he did eat it. Ur: Lo, things are covered. Δ: Then he couered the Table and pluckt the cloth over it, down to the grownd, on euery side. The man rose up: And Michaël dubbed him on the hed with his sworde. Then the man stode-up. Then the man turned his face toward E.T. the skryer: and the man did resemble me (John Dee) in cowntenance. And then he turned to Michaël agayn. Michael wrote uppon the mans back, thus, ANGELVS TVÆ PROFESSIONIS.205 Δ: Then E.T. asked me, yf there were such Angels of a mans Profession: and I answered yea; as in Agrippa206 and other, is declared. Mi: Leaue your folly: Hold thy peace. Haue you not red, that they that cleaue unto God, are made like unto him. Δ: Yes, forsoth. Mic: Thow camst hither to lern, and not to dispute. Laudate Dominum in operibus suis.207 Δ: The man kneled down, and so went out of sight. Mi: He hath eaten strength against trubble: He hath eaten nothing: and in eating, he hath eaten all things. The name208 NA, be praysed in trubbles. Δ: Now Michael thrust out his right arme, with the sword: and bad the skryer to loke. Then his sword did seame to cleaue in two: and a great fyre, flamed out of it, vehemently. Then he toke a ring out of the flame of his sworde: and gaue it, to Uriel: and sayd, thus: Mic: The strength of God, is unspeakable. Praysed be god for euer and euer. Δ: Then Uriel did make cursy unto him. Mi: After this sort, must thy ring be: Note it. Δ: Then he rose, or disapeared, out of the chayre, and by and by, cam again, and sayde, as followeth. Mi: I will reveale thee this ring: which was never revealed since the death of Salomon: with whom I was present. I was present with him in strength, and mercy. Lo, this it is. This is it, wherewith all Miracles, and diuine works and wonders were wrowght by Salomon: This is it, which I haue revealed unto thee. This is it, which Philosophie dreameth of. This is it, which the Angels skarse know. This is it, and blessed be his Name: yea, his Name be blessed for euer. Δ: Then he layd the Ring down uppon the Table: and sayd, Note. Δ: It shewed to be a Ring of Gold: with a seale graued in it: and had a rownd thing in the myddle of the seale and a thing like a V, throwgh the top of the circle: and an L, in the bottome: and a barr ----cleane throwgh it: And had these fowre letters in it, PELE.209 After that, he threw the ring on the borde, or Table: and it semed to fall throwgh the Table: and then he sayde, thus, Mi: So shall it do, at thy commaundement. Without this, thow shalt do nothing.210 Blessed be his name, that cumpasseth all things: Wonders are in him, and his Name is WONDERFVLL: His Name worketh wonders from generation, to generation. Δ: Then he went away: and cam-in agayn by and by. Mi: Note. Δ: Then he browght-in the Seale, which he shewed the other day: and opened his sworde, and bad the skryer, reade, and he red, EMETH.211 Then the sword closed up agayn: and he sayde, Mi: This I do open unto thee, bycause thow mervayledst at SIGILLVM DEI. This is the Name of the Seale: Which be blessed for euer. This is the seale self. This is Holy: This is pure: This is for euer. Amen. Δ: Then the seale vanished away. And I sayd to my frende (the Skryer) In dede, this other day, I considered diuerse fashions of the seal: and I fownd them much differing, one from an other: and therfore I had nede to know, which of them I shall imitate: or how to make one perfect of them all. Mi: Dowt not for the making of it: for God hath perfyted all things. Ask not the cause of my absence, nor of my apparell: for that Mysterie, is known to God. I haue no cloathing, as thow thy self shalt see. I am a Spirit of Truth, and Vertue.212 Yea you shall see me in Powre, and I will viset you in HOPE. Bless you the Lorde, and follow his wayes, for euer. Δ: Then he went away: and Uriel followed him. And then I sayde to my skryer: It were good, we had euer some watch-word, when we shold not loke for any more matter at theyr hands, euery tyme of theyr visitting of us. Whereuppon, (unlooked-for, of us,) he spake agayn. Mi: We lead tyme, Tyme leadeth not us: Put up thy pen. The Name of God, be blessed for euer. Δ: Then they lifted up theyr hands to heuenward (which heven, appeared allso in the stone) and turned toward us, and sayd, Valete.213 Δ: So they departed: and at theyr going, the chayr, and the Table, in the stone, did seme to shake. Δ: Soli Deo omnis honor Laus et Gloria.214 Amen.
