At the first, Uriel pluckt a thing from under the Covenant Table: and it grew Rownd, Bigger &; bigger, (of fyrie Cullour) bigger then all the world: and he sayd to me Δ: Uriel: Ultima est hæc ætas vestram, quæ tibi revelata erit.608 Then cam swarming into the stone, Thowsand yea Inumerable people, Uriel sayd, Est in mundo, et incipiet cum illo alter Mundus.609 and he bad, Note the forme of the thing seen. Note the cullour. The forme of the thing seen was a Globe Transparent fyre within which the people seemed to stand, Towers and Castells. &c. did appere therein, likewise. This Globe did king CARMARA seeme to go uppon, & to measure it: and there appeared a very riche chayre to be set: allmost at the top of the Convexitie of the sayd Globe. wherein he sat down. Michael: The Mysteries of God haue a tyme: and Behold, Thow art provyded for that tyme. All those before spoken of are Subiect to thy Call.... Of friendship, at any tyme, thow mayst see them: and know what thow wilt. Every one (to be short) shall at all times and seasons shew thee direction in any thing.... One thing I answer thee, for all offycis. Thow hast in subiection all officis. Use them whan it pleas thee, as thy Instruction hath byn. King CARMARA610 - This king, (being called first by Uriel,) appeared, as a Man, very well proportioned: clad in a long purple Robe: and with a Triple Crowne of Gold on his hed. At his first coming he had 7 (like men) wayting on him: which afterwarde declared them selues to be the 7 Princis Heptarchicall. Uriel deliuered unto this king (at his first appearing) a rod or straight little rownd Staff of Gold: diuided into three equall distinctions, whereof, two were dark or blak: and the third bright red. This red he kept still in his hand. King BOBOGEL appeared in a blak veluet coat, and his hose close, rownd hose with veluet upperstocks: ouerlayde with gold lace: On his hed a veluet hatcap, with a blak feather in it: with a Cape hanging on one of his sholders, his purse hanging abowt his neck and so put under his gyrdell at which hong a gylt rapier, his berd was long: he had pantofells and pynsons. And he sayd, I weare these Robes, not in respect of my self, but of my government, etc. Prince BORNOGO appeared in a red Robe, with a Gold Cerclet on his hed: he shewed his Seale, and sayde, This it is. King BABALEL... Prince BEFAFES appeared in a long red robe, with a cerclet of Gold on his hed. He had a golden girdle: and on it written BEFAFES. He opened his bosom, & appeared leane: and seamed to haue feathers under his Robes. His Seale, or Character, is this: King BYNEPOR... Prince BUTMONO appeared in a red Robe, with a golden Cerclet on his hed: His Seal is this: King BNASPOL... Prince BLISDON appeared in a Robe of many Cullours: and on his hed a Cerclet of Gold. His Character, or seale: King BNAPSEN... Prince BRORGES appeared in his red apparayle: & he opened his Cloathes and there did issue, mighty & most terrible or grisely flames of fyre out of his sides: whych no mortall eyr could abyde to loke uppon any long while. His Seale, or Character is this: King BALIGON... King BLVMAZA... Prince BRALGES appeared in a red Robe with a Cerclet on his hed. This is the Seale of his gouernment: One611 (of the 7 which was by him) he who stode before him, with his face from ward him, now turned his face to him ward.612 Regnat potestas tua in filijs. Ecce signum Operis.613 Δ: There appeared these two letters, euersed and aversed, in a white flag and a woman standing by, whose armes did not appere. Note. My name is Carmara.614 Δ: On the other side of the flag appeared the armes of England. The flag semed old. Adhuc duo, et tempus non est.615 (Δ: Sayd the man616 which stode before Carmara,) and lifted up his hand and avaunced his body: and the other 6 gaue him place. He spred his armes abroad: and so turned rownd toward all the multitude (appering within the Globe:) as if he wold require audience. He sayd than thus, The Sonnes of men,617 and theyr sonnes, ar subiected unto my commaundent. 618 This is a mystery. I haue spoken of it. Note it throwghly. They ar my seruants. By them thow shalt work mervayles. I gouern for a tyme:619 My tyme620 is yet to come. The Operation of the Earth is subiect to my powre:621 And I am the first of the twelve. My seale is called Barees: and here it is. (Δ: This he held in the palm of his hand: as thowgh it had byn a ring, hanging allso over his myddle fingers622). With a great voyce he sayd, Come ô ye people of the erth:623 1. (Δ: Then there cam a great Number of onely Kings, from amongst the rest of the multitude within the Globe: They kneele down; and some kyssed his seale and some did stand frowning at it. Those kings that kissed it, had, eche of them, a sword in one hand, and a payre of Ballance in the other: the balances being euen, and counterpeysed.624 But the other had allso ballances, which hong uneven, the one scale lower then the other. The euen balanced kings were of glad cheare:625 but the other wer of a sowre and hevy cowntynance. It is, and shalbe so: And the workmanship of this, is to this ende. 2. Then cam noble men: (Δ: and he held up his hand,) and they parted them selues into two Cumpanyes: and ouer the heds of them, appered these two wordes. Vera,626 over one Cumpany: and Impura627 over the other. Verus cum veris, et Impurus cum Impuris.628 3. Come ô ye Princes of Nature. Δ: Then cam in Anncient and graue Cowtenanced men in blak gownes: of all manner of sortes.629 Diuerse of them had bokes: and some had stiks like measures:630 and they parted into two Cumpanies. Eyther cumpany had his principall. One of these Cumpanies fell at debate among them selues. The other Cumpany stode still. There appeared before eche of these Cumpanyes a great boke. Uppon the bokes was written; on the one, Lucem; and on the other, Mundi tenebras.631 The Forman spred his hands ouer them, and they all fell down: and the boke with Lucem632 on it waxed bright: and they which attended on that boke (Lucem) departed. Gather, by these few spriggs the Cumpas of the whole field. Δ: I demaunded of him, what his name was: and he answered,633 I am Primus et Quartus634 Hagonel. Δ: This Pri. Quar, shewed his635 seal to the Multitudes and they beheld it, and of them some florish, som stand, and some fall. 1. [Δ: Then he sayd,] The first were the Kings of the earth; which tell the priks of the last, take place, are, and shall be. In this thow mayst lern science. Note a mysterie. Take a place, is as much, as, Ende with place. Δ: Then he threw down a great many of them before him. Here is his name, (pointing to [Δ = Carmara636] on the upper part of the Globe.) Not withstanding I am his Minister - [D in generall particularly Blumaza.] There are kings fals and uniust, whose powre as I haue subuerted and destroyed, so shalt thow. Thow seest the weapons.637 The Secret is not great. Δ: I know not what the weapons are. Pri. Quar. sayd, Write, and I will tell thee. Δ: The three, of eche side did syt down while Pri Quar did thus speake. I am the first of the fowrth Hagonel. Δ: I had thowght that ye sayd before, you had byn the first and the Fowrth of Hagonel. Pri Quar. I am HAGONEL, and govern HAGONEL. There is Hagonel the first, Hagonel the second, and Hagonel the third, I am the first that gouern the three. Therfore I am the first and last of the fowre.638 Δ: In the meane space of the former multitude some were falln deade, of some theyr mowthes drawn awry: of some theyr legs broken &c. And then, pointing to (Δ: = Carmara) he sayd, In his name, with my name, by my character and the rest of my Ministers, are these things browght to pass.639 These that lye here, are lyers, witches, enchanters, Deceyvers, Blasphemers: and finally all they that use NATVRE, with abuse: and dishonor him which rayneth for euer. 2. The second assembly were the Gouerners of the Earth, whose glory yf they be good, the weapons which we haue towght thee, will augment: and Consequently, if they be euill, pervert. 3. The third assembly are those which taste of Gods mysteries, and drink of the iuyce of Nature, whose myndes are diuided, some with eyes looking toward heaven, the rest to the center of the Earth. Ubi non Gloria, nec bonitas nec bonum est.640 It is wrowght, I say, it is wrowght (for thy understanding) by the seuen of the seuen which wer the sonnes of sempiternitie,641 whose names thow hast written642 and recorded to Gods Glory.643 Δ: Then he held up his hands, and seemed to speak but was not herd (of EK644) as he told me: and theruppon Pri Quar sayd, Neyther shalt thow heare, for it is Vox hominibus non digna. Illi autem cum filijs suis laudauerunt Deum. Benedictus est qui fiius est unicus, et Gloria mundi.645 EK saw like a black cloth646 come-in and cover all the forepart of the stone, so that nothing appeared in the stone. Then was hard a voyce saying, Loke for us no more at this tyme: This647 shalbe a token, (from this tyme forth) to leaue.648 Δ: Laus et Honor sit Deo Immortali et Omnipotenti nunc et semp. Amen.649
