Δ: After appearance was had, there cam in one before Michael (who sat in his seat) and Uriel leaned on the table (as he, usually did). This seemed to be a Trumpeter:405 he was all in white, and his garments bespotted with blud. He had nothing on his hed. His heare very long hanging behynde him on his sholders. The Trumpet seamed to be gold. The sownd therof was very playne. Δ: I axed of my skryer, in what manner Uriel now shewed, (and Michael likewise.)

Who, allso, had byn by, all the while, during the Mysterie of the '7' pillers. Mic: Set two stoles in the myddst of the flowre. On the one, set the stone: and at the other let him knele.

Mi: Non adhuc cognoscetur Mysterion hoc.468 Δ: Eache had fowre-square Tablets on theyr bosoms, as yf they were of white Ivory. Mi: Quid istis facietis?

Adsumus, 473 Δ: Sayd 7 little Childern which cam in, like boyes couered all with purple, with hanging sleues like preists or scholers gown sleues: theyr heds attyred all (after the former manner) with purple sylk. Mi: Quid factum est inter filios hominum? Male viuunt (sayd they) nec habemus locum cum illis tanta est illorum Iniustitia. Veh mundo, scandalis: vel scandalizantibus, Veh illis quibus Nos non sumus.474 Δ: These had tablets (on theyr brests) three cornerd, and seemed to be very grene and in them, letters. The first had two letters in one: thus, of EL: The first ---------- ----- Δ: He sayd, Nec nomine meo timet Mundus.475 The second ---------- An ----- Nullus videbit faciem meam.476 The third ---------- Aue ----- Non est virgo super terram cui dicam.477 [Δ: And pointed to his tablet, wherein that word, Aue, was written.] The fowrth ---------- Liba ----- Tanta est infirmitas sanctitudinis Diei.

Nemo autem videbit me.479 The sixth shewed his Tablet and said, Ecce -- Hagonel480 - Qui adhuc Sancti sunt, cum illis viuo.481 The seuenth had on his tablet -- Ilemese -- Hij imitauerunt doctrinam meam. In me Omnis sita est Doctrina.482 Δ: I thowght my skryer had missherd, this word Imitauerunt, for Imitati sunt.483 And Michael smyled and seemed to lawgh, and sayd, Non curat numerum Lupus.484 And farder he sayd, Ne minimam detrahet à virtute, virtutem. Mi: Estote cum illis: Estote (inquam cum istis) Estote (inquam) mecum. Valete.485 Δ: So they went, making reuerence,486 and went up to heuen. Mi: Dictum est hoc tempore.487 Mi: Note this in thy Tables. Dost thow understand it? Loke if thow canst. Δ: He sayd to Uriel, It is thy part, to interpretate these things.488 Ur: Omnis Intelligentia est a Domino. Mi: Et eius Nomen est Halleluyah.489 Compose a table, diuided into 7 parts, square.490 Ur: Those 7 names, which procede from the left hand to the right, are the Names of God, not known to the Angels: neyther can be spoken or red of man. Proue if thou canst reade them. Beatus est qui secrete. Nomina sua conseruat.491 Ur: These Names, bring furth 7 Angels: The 7 Angels, and Governers in the heuens next unto us,492 which stand allwayes before the face of God.493 Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus est ille DEVS noster,494 Ur: Euery letter of the Angels names, bringeth furth 7 dowghters. Euery dowghter bringeth furth her dowghter, which is 7. Euery dowghter-her-dowghter bringeth furth a sonne. Euery sonne in him self, is 7. Euery sonne hath his sonne, and his sonne is 7.495 Let us prayse the God of Seuen, which was and is and shall liue for euer. Vox Domini in Fortitudine. Vox Domini in Decore. Vox Domini reuelat Secreta. In templo eius, Laudemus Nomen eius El. Halleluyah.496 See if thow canst now understand this table. The Dowghters procede from the angle on the right hand, cleaving the myddle: where theyr generation ceaseth. The Sonnes from the left hand to the right to the middle: so proceding where theyr number endeth in one Centre. The Residue thow mayst (by this Note) understande.497 Δ: Then Michael, he stroke ouer us ward, with his sword, and the flame of fire yssued oute. Loke to the corner of the right hand, being the uppermost: where thow shalt finde. Refer thyne eye to the upper number, and the letter aboue it. But the Number must be fownd under neth, bycause his prick so noteth.498 Than procede to the names of the dowghters in the Table: and thow shalt see that it is the first name of them: This shall teache thee. Δ: Loking now into my first and greatest Circle for I finde it with 1 ouer it. I take this to be the first Dowghter.499 Ur: You must in this square Table set E by the and now write them Composedly in one letter, thus Nomen Domini viuit in æternum.500 Ur: Giue ouer, for half an howre, and thow shalt be fully instructed. Δ: I did so, and after half an howre comming to the stone, I was willed to make a new square table of 7: and to write and note, as it followeth. 501,502,503,504,505,506,507 Vera est hæc Tabula, partim nobis cognita, et partim omnibus, incognita. Vide iam.508 The 30 by E, in the second place, in the upper right corner, serueth not in the consideration of the first Dowghters, but for an other purpose.509 The by I, serueth for an other purpose: but not for this Dowghters Dowghter. The 21, is e, and 8 with the prick under it is 1: which togither maketh El, or thus compownded as if it were one letter, The Names of the great Seale must follow the Orthographie of this Table. Virtus vobiscum est. Orate.510 Δ: We prayed. Δ: Then there appeared SAAI M. Here is an E comprehended in L. Ur: Read now the Table. Angeli lucis Dei nostri Et posuit angelos illius in medio illorum.511 Ur: In the table are the names of 7 Angels. The first is Zabathiel, beginning from the left uppermost corner, taking the corner letter first, and then that on the right hand above, and than that under the first, and than the third from the first, in the upper row: and then cornerwise down toward the left hand, and then to the fowrth letter from the first in the upper row: where there is I with, which maketh el. So have you Zabathiel. Ur: Go forward. Ur: This I in the last Syllable augmenteth the true sownd of it. Ur: Write these names in the Great Seal, next under the 7 names which thow wrotest last: videlicet, under, An Aue &c. distinctly in great letters. Ur: Make the E and L of Zabathiel, in one letter compownded, thus ZABATHI. In this, so fashion your E and L. And this name must be distributed in his letters into 7 sides of that innermost Heptagonum. For the other, I will teache you to dispose them. You must make for IEL (in this name onely) I with the annexed. So haue you iust 7 places. Ur: The next fiue names thow shalt dispose in the fiue exterior angles of the Pentacle: euery angle conteyning one whole name. Ur: Set the first letters of these 5 names, (in Capitall letters) within the fiue acute internall angles of the Pentacle: and the rest of eche name following Circularly from his Capitall letter, but in the 5 exterior obtuse angles of the Pentacle. Ur: Set Z, of Zedekieil within the angle which standeth up toward the begynning of the greatest Circle. And so procede toward thy right hand. Ur: In the middle now of thy Pentacle, make a cross † like a Crucifix and write the last of those 7 names Leuanael thus, Uriel: Vidit DEVS, opus suum esse bonum et cessauit a Labore suo. Factum est.513 Δ: Michael stode up and sayd, The æternall Blessing of God the FATHER, The mercifull Goodnes of CHRIST, his SONNE The unspeakable Dignitie of GOD the Holy GHOSTE bless you, preserue you, and multiply your doings in his Honor and Glory. Uriel: AMEN. Ur: These Angels are the angells of the 7 Circles of Heven, gouerning the lightes of the 7 Circles. Blessed be GOD in us, and by us, Which stand contynually before the presence of GOD, for euer.514 DIXI.515 Δ: Whan may we be so bold, as to require your help agayn. Mic: Whan so euer you will, we are ready. Farewell. Δ: Sit Nomen Domini benedictum, ex hoc nunc, et usque in sæcula sæculorum.: Amen.516
