E.T: Onely Michael appeared; Δ: And to diuerse my Complayntes, and requests sayde, Mi: The lord shall consider thee in this world, and in the world to come. E.T: All the chayre seamed on fyre. Mi: This is one Action, in one person: I speak of you two.520 Δ: You meane us two to be ioyned so, and in mynde united, as yf we wer one man? Mi: Thou understandest. Take heade of punishment for your last slaknes. Δ: Yf you mean any slaknes on my behalf, Truely it was and is for lak of habilitie521 to buy and prepare things, appointed of you. Procure I pray you habilitie, and so shall I make spede. E.T: A great hill of gold with serpents lying on it appeared: he smyteth it with his sword, and it falleth into a mighty great water, hedlong. Mi: Dost thow understand? Δ: No verylie. E.T: He razed the hill away, as thowgh there had byn none; and sayd, Mi: Lo, so it is of this worldly habilitie. Δ: I pray you how must the Lamine be hanged? Mi: As concerning the lamine, it must be hanged unseen, in some skarf.522 The Ring when it is made, I will lessen it according to my pleasure. I meane by two Cubites, your usuall yarde. Haste, for thow hast many things to do. Glory be to God, Peace unto his Creatures. Mercy to the wicked, Forgivenes to the Faithfull: He liueth, Ô he rayngneth, O thow art mighty, PELE: thy name be blessed. Δ: Amen. Venito Ese,523 Δ: He cryed so with a lowd voyce. E.T: He is now couered, in a myghty couering of fyre, of a great beawty. There standeth a thing before him. I cannot tell what it is. Laudate Dominum in cælis. Orate.524 Δ: We prayed. E.T: His face remayneth couered with the fyre, but his body uncovered. Mi: Adesdum Ese. Adesdum Iana.525 Vobis dedit demonstrationem in Tabulis vestris.526 E.T: There appeare of the figure, (before, imperfect) two little women: One of them held up a Table which lightened527 terribly: so that all the stone was couered: with a myst. A voyce cam out of the myst, and sayd, Ex hijs creata sunt, 528 et hæc sunt nomina illorum.529 E.T: The myst cleareth, and one of the women held up a Table, being thus written uppon. Numerus Primus.530 Δ: The Table semed square, and full of letters and numbers, and Crosses, in diuerse places, diuersly fashioned. Numerus Primus531 A finger cam out of the mist, and wyped oute, the first shew, with the Cross, letters, and numbers. The second was in like wise. The Third was a b with the tayle upward thus: g. The 52 with the three great BBB, semed to be couered with Gold. The two Crossed ones he did not wipe out with his finger. The next he blotted oute. He blotted not oute the three with the 8 and 3. The two barrs must go clere and not towch the bars. The, the square, wherin it standeth, is all gold: and that he let stand. Fire cam oute and burnt: The is all of a bright cullour, like the brightnes of the Sonne, and that was not put out. The places are very blak, but where the letters, and numbers do stand. E.T. hard a voyce saying, Finis Tenebrarum:532 Halleluyah.533 E.T: There commeth a hand and putteth the little woman into the clowde. Mi: Prayse God: Be inwardly mery. The Darknes is comprehended. God bless you: God bless you: God blesse you. You must leave of for an howre and a half: for you haue.6. other Tables to write to night. Prayse God: be ioyfull. After supper we resorted to our scholemaster. E.T: I here a voyce but see nothing: he sayeth, Initium bonum in nomine eius et est. Halleluyah.534 E.T: Three quarters of the stone (on the right side) are dark, the other quarter is clere. Mi: Venite filiæ filiarum ESE.535 The nethermost......536 E.T: There come six yong maydens, all in white apparell, alike: Now they all be gonne into the dark parte of the stone, except one. There cam a flame of fyre out of the dark, and in the flame written Vnus537 on this manner: She that standeth without, putteth her hand into the dark: and pulleth out a ball of light: and threw it oute: and it waxed bigger and bigger; and it Thundred. E.T: A voyce sayd --------- Dies primus.538 An other voyce --------- Ubi est Tabula?539 An answer --------- Est, Est, Est.540 She wyndeth and turneth her self abowt, begynning at her hed, and so was Transformed into a Table, rownde. E.T: Three faces do shew and shote oute, and euer returne into one hed agayne: and with it cam a mervaylous swete sauour. The Table was of three cullours: white, redd, and a mixture of white541 and red, changeably. A strong sownding cam withall, as of clattring of harness or fall of waters; or such like. There cam a sterre shoting oute of the dark, and settled itself in the myddle of the Table: And the fyre which cam oute with the woman, did cumpas the Table abowt. A voyce sayd, O honor, laus et gloria, Tibi qui es, et eris.542 The Table sheweth wunderfull fayre and glorious. Onely seuen priks appeare on the Table. The three angles of the triangle open, and in the lower point appeared a great A. And in the right upper corner LV. (E.T: The Table trembled.) And in the other Corner appeared thre circles of æquall bignes, æqually, or alike intersecting eche others by theyr centers. A voyce: Unus est, Trinus est; in omni Angulo est. Omnia comprehendit: Fuit, est, et vobis erit. Finis et Origo.543 (E.T: Ô, Ô; with a dullfull sownd, he pronownced.) E.T: The woman sayth, Fui: sum quod non sum.544 A voyce: Lux non erat et nunc est.545 E.T: The woman being turned, from the shape of the Table, into womans shape agayn, went into the dark. Then one part of the darknes diminished. In the dark was a mervaylous turmoyling, tossing, and stur, a long tyme during. A voyce: For a tyme Nature can not abyde these sightes. E.T: It is become Quiet, but dark still. A voyce: Pray and that vehemently, For these things are not revealed without great prayer. E.T: After a long tyme there cam a woman: and flung up a ball like a glass: and a voyce was hard saying, Fiat. The ball went into the darknes, and browght with it a great white Globe hollow transparent. Then she had a Table abowt her neck, square of 12 places.546 The woman seamed to daunce and swyng the Table: Then cam a hand oute of the dark: and stroke her and she stode still, and becam fayrer: She sayd, Ecce signum Incomprehensibilitatis.547 E.T: The woman is transformed into a water, and flyeth up into the Globe of Light. E.T: A voyce: Est, Est, Est.548 E.T: One commeth, (a woman) out of the Dark very demurely, and soberly walking, carrying in her hand a little rownd ball: and threw it into the dark: and it becam a great thing of Earth. She taketh it in her hand agayne, and casteth it up into the rownd Globe and sayd, Fiat.549 E.T: She turned her back toward E.T. and there appeared a Table diuided into 24 partes. Yt seemeth to be very Square.550 A voyce: Scribe. Veritas est.551 E.T: A sword cam out of the Dark: and claue the woman a sunder, and the one half becam a man, and the other a woman,552 and they went and sat uppon the Ball of cley or erth. Now seemeth the Dark part to quake. A voyce: Venito Vasedg.553 E.T: There cometh a woman oute of the Dark: she sayd, Vita hijs ex mea manu.554 E.T: She sheweth a Table square full of holes, and many things creeping out of it. This square is within a rownd. A voyce: O Lux Deus noster.555 Hamuthz Gethog. E.T: Then stept out an other woman hauing a sword in her hand. She toke a thing oute of the dark (a bright thing) and cut it in twayn and the one parte she cut into two unæqual partes, and the other half she cutteth into a thowsand (or innumerable) partes. Then she toke all the partes up into her skyrt. She hath a Table, and it hangeth on her shulders. She stept before the other woman, whose hed standeth in the dark.556 This woman her Table is fowresquare. She is very bewtifull. Note this Cross with the two bees, the 4 and the 6, is one of the Notes annexed to the second Table of the 4 of Enoch's Tables: And the T of Enoch's Tables semeth to answer with the T first in the Seale of Æmeth, and the cross allso. She sayd, Lumina sunt hæc Intelligentiæ tuæ.557 She sayd, Fere nulli Credendus est hic numerus.558 This woman taketh the little peces, and casteth them up, and they become little Sparks of light: and of the things she cast, There were two great rownd things. And they were allso cast up to the white Transparent Globe. And she went away into the Dark: which was, now, very much lessened.559 Then the other woman (who was forestept) thrust oute her hed who had the rownd conteyning the Square, with 36 places. She crymbleth clay, and it turneth to byrds. She seameth to be like a witch. Into the bosse of her Table, she put her hand and that bosse, was in the Dark and oute of the bosse, she seemed to fatch that Clay. She sayd, Ad usum tuum Multiplicati sunt.560 E.T: She went into the Dark. E.T: A voyce is hard saying, Omnia gaudent fine.561 E.T: There commeth oute a woman; out of the Dark. She plucketh at the dark, and casteth it on the grownd, and it turneth to herbes, and plants becomming like a garden, and they grow up very fast. She sayd, Opus est.562 E.T: She hath a fowre square Table before her. Then cam one, all in white, and taketh the Darknes, and wrappeth it up and casteth it into the myddle of the Erthen Globe, on which appeared Trees and Plants. E.T: Then appered Michael, his Chayre, and Table agayne manifestly: which all this while, were not seen. Mi: Obumbrabit vestigia vestram veritatis luce.563 The Actor, The Actor, The Actor: One Disposer; he, which is one in all; and All in all: bless you from the wickednes of Deceyte: Create you new vessels: To whome I commyt you. E.T: He holdeth his sword over us, in manner, out of the stone. Mi: Fare Well. Serue God. Be patient. Hate vayne glorie. Liue iustly. Amen. Δ: What spede shall I make for the yard square Table, the Wax, the seale, and the Character? Mi: As thow ar motioned, so do. Δ: Gloria, Pri et F. et S.S. S.e.i.p.e.n.e.s.e.i.s.s. Amen.564 Δ: Note, All the Tables before were by E.T, letter for letter noted out of the stone standing before him all the while: and the 7 Tables following wer written by me as he repeted them orderly out of the stone.
