Δ: The Cloth remayned drawn, a prety while after we had done our prayers to God, and so was all the things in the stone kept from sight. Δ: The Man with the Crowne,685 (he onely) appeared first, and the transparent Globe with the people of the world in it, as before. The Diaphanitie, or (as it wer) the Shell of the forsaid Globe, was very glystring bright. The man686 shaked his hand toward me and the bak of the Chayre was toward EK. On the globe appered a trace like a seame, of two things ioyned to gither, or rather a very narrow path: which began below on the Convex superfices of this globe and went upward to the verticall point or (as it wer) the zenith prik of it: but from the lower part of the same to the place where the chayre stode, it seamed broder, and more worn, than from the chayre up to the vertex or top prik: for that part (which semed to be about the eighth part of the whole) did appere very smalle, and unworne, or unoccupyed. Δ: He turning his face toward EK, spake thus, I haue declared things past and present. And now I speak of things to come. The Whole shalbe manifest. Nam ipse unus et Indiuisibilis est. Gloria Gloria Gloria Creatori nostro.687 Two partes688 are yet to come, the rest are finished allready. Δ: He shewed the rownd Table689 with letters and numbers which master Kelly sent me: and than he toke it away agayn. Then he sayd, Venite gradatim repetamus,690 opera Dei.691 Δ: The first of the.7. which had yesterday appeared, did now appere with the short robe,692 as he did before. Than H sayd smylingly (being turned to EK), Hæc sunt documenta tua,693 quæ nondum intelligis.694 Δ: Than the man with the short robe, the Forman of the 7 (yesterday appearing) sayd, Unus est Deus, et Unum est opus nostrum.696 Δ: Then cam very many uppon the Globe his convex superficies and they sayd, Parati sumus seruire Deo nostro.697 Δ: Eche of these had somwhat in theyr hands. Som had crownes, some garments &c.698 The number of them was: 42: and stode in this order: and sayd embracing (as it wer) the whole number of this Cumpany, Et nomen meum, numerus est totus Nec est crimen in numero nostro Moyses nos nominauit. Potestas istorum, quàm istarum, quamvis non una, tamen in uno sunt.700 Δ: I sayd that I thowght there wanted at the begynning of this sentence, this word Tam.701 He answered, it might be understode by his pointing to them there standing, and sayd farder in respect of this my dowt, Quatenus est hæc vanitas vestrorum? Tu nosti numeros hos esse in Deo, in Mundo, et in minori mundo. In Deo, id est Nobiscum. In Mundo, quantum apud vos: In minori Mundo, quantum in vobis. (Combinatur animus tuus cogitatione.) Disseritur apud Phõs., idque maximè) de NATVRA, quæ non vobiscum, sed nobiscum (ah, ah, ah) et in nostra potestate est. Videbis Deum. Vidisti opera nostra, Opera (inquam) manuum suarum: Digito Dei mouebimur. A Deo venit. Homo, et cum hominibus fuit: est enim cum illis. Illius namque potestas, vim, virtutem, et esse dat,702 non nobis solum modo, sed operibus nostris. Inhumata tibi anima tua, quid quærit?703 Δ: I understand you now: He answered Ab humo, homine: Ab homine dictum est.704 I axed thee, what thow desyrest. Δ: Wisdom, and Veritie, I answered: // then, he answered, H: Thow shalt. Δ: There cam in a smyling fellow: and they pluckt him, and towsed him. He cryed he wold tell Newes: and they answered, that there was none for him to tell: and he skaped705 from them, or they let him slyp, with all his clothes torn of: and he semed to crepe or get away under the globe, and (as it wer) to get behinde the Diaphanous Globe. Δ: These 42 had all of them somwhat in theyr hands: as eyther whole Crownes, or 3/4 of Crownes, or robes &c. Six of them semed more glorious than the rest, and theyr Coates longer: and had cerclets (abowt theyr hed) of Gold: and these had perfect Crowns in theyr hands. The second six had thre quarters of Crownes, the Third six, haue clothes706 in theyr hands.707 All the rest semed to haue balls of gold: which they toss from one to an other: but at the catching they semed empty wynde balls: for they gripe them, closing theyr hand, as yf they wer not solid, but empty, like a bladder.708 Δ: The first six sayd, Our names cannot be expressed: neyther can the names of these that follow. Δ: The first six made cursy to the man with the short robe: the second six made cursy to the first, and the Third to the second, and they all, and the short robed man, made cursy to H. Our workmanship is all one. Δ: Sayd the short robed man.709 H: The whole day is diuided into 6 partes:710 Euery part occupyeth a part of them here. (Δ: Pointing to the 42 standing there.) Therfore yf thow wilt work with Kings (thow knowest my meaning), finally what so euer thow wilt do in theyr estate, Cast thyne eye unto the first place. In all good causes thow shalt work by six in generall. The rest are for Depriuation: I meane the next six. The residue all do serue to the entents and purposes apperteyning unto Kings. But bycause thow shalt not be ignorant, what they are, in name, they shall shew forth theyr Tables. Δ: Than they, spedyly (eche of them uppon the place of theyr standing ) made a square table: and euery table had but one Letter. The first of the first six did go away, and in his table appeared an O, &c, and so of the second six, orderly theyr letters appeared in theyr tables: But the Third six, they cowred down uppon theyr letters, and were loath to shew them: but at length, did &c: and at the last of euery row, they all cam togither &c. H: Remember how they stode, when they wer secondly disposed unto thee: They stode first in six rows; and next they wer turned into 7.711 I speak of the greater number and not of the less. In speaking of the greater, I haue comprehended the lesser.712 Δ: They went euer away toward the713 hand. The third row went of lamenting: being commaunded by the Short robed man. All parted in fire, falling into the Globe. The fifth row did synk into the Globe, euery one in a sundry fyre by him self. The sixth fell with smoke down into the Globe. EK: Now remayneth onely the man with the Crown H: he made shew with his hands, beckning toward E.K., and sayd, I haue told thee, that theyr workmanship, is to gither. Theyr names are uppon these tables. The first letter, is the Second letter, of the first714 name of the Table.715 Thow hast 49 names in those Tables. Those names thow hast in former Tables by thee written: in that of 7 tymes 7. Confer it with the rownd Table.716 The first letter717 from the point of his718 sword, is B. That B signifieth the number of the Bees, begynning the 49 names, environing that Circle. In the former Tables thow shalt fynde B.1. B.2. B.3. B.4. &c and so to B.49. Those Bees begynne the names of all the powres that haue governed, do gouern, and shall gouern. The next letter hath his circle and numbers going rownd abowt it: which thow shalt fynde in the former Tables. The letter standeth in the myddest of euery square, of euery Circle: thowgh some be turned upside down: Which onely signifyeth that they are Spirits of Destruction, wrath and Indignation in Gods Judgment. There are two numbers: that, on the right hand, over the letter, is the number pertayning to that letter. O in the Circumference is the ninthe letter.719 Gather the former Tables to gither, which thow hast made before, conteyning 49, depending onely on B. Where thow shalt finde BOBOGEL, a name consisting on 7 letters, and so the rest. Reade my instructions as concerning those Tables, and thow shalt fynde the truth of them.--------- --Ihaue sayd.720 Mighty is thy name, O God of Hostes: Blessed is thy name, Ô Lord, for euer. Δ:Amen.
