D. We presented our selves, ready for instruction receiving, and presumed not to call my good Minister spiritual, but by humble prayer referred all to God his good pleasure. E K. The Golden Curtain which covereth all the Stone hangeth still, but I heare a voice or sentence thrice repeated, thus. A voice Sanctum, Signatum, & ad tempus. D. The sense hereof may be divers; wayes understood, and more then I can imagine, but which sense is to our instruction would I faine know. A voice. Sanctum, quia hoc velle suum; sigillatum quia determinatum ad tempus. E.K. Hard speeches, but he could not perfectly discern them. A voice. Ad tempus (inquam) quia rerum consuminatio. All things are at hand. The seat is prepared. Justice hath determined. The Judge is not yet willing: Mercy thrusteth it self betwixt the Divinity. But it is said, The Time shall be shortned. E.K. Saw no creature: But the voice came behind him over his head, till now: when he espied one standing on the Table besides the silke cloth on which the Stone stood; he seemed like a Husbandman all in red apparel, red hose close to his legs, a red jacket, red buttoned cap on his head, yea, and red shooes. He asked E.K. how he did, and E.K. answered, Well I thank God. D. By your apparel it should seem you have somewhat to say concerning the Commons of this Realme, and not of high School-points, or Sciences. I am desirous to know who sent you? What is your message? and what is your name? for a name you have peculiar as all Creatures else. D. He paused a good while; whereupon I asked him if he considered my speeches? I consider you speeches, for I have left nothing behind. E.K. He kneeleth down and seemeth to say somewhat, his speech is quick, sound, and ready. He seemeth to pray in a strange Language. I perceive these words among many other, Oh Gahire Rudna gephna ob Gahire, &c. His Countenance was directed towards the Stone. Vestra non mea facio. E.K. Now he standeth up. Hast not thou said, From whom comest thou? What is thy message? [D. He looked toward me] And hast urged my name? Saying, All things have a name.[5] It is true; for so they have because they are. Hast thou left any thing unsaid? D. You rehearse my speeches not onely in general, but also in particular. The will of God be done(to his glory) for the rest....... My message is from him, in whose name thou hast desired it, which hath said lift up thine eyes, and look unto (behold I say) the sum of my Commandments, 1. What I am, 2. Whose Ministers you are, and (as it is said before) 3. To what end and purpose it is. Then cease to plead when Judgment standeth in place; For all things are determined already. The 7 doores are opened. The 7 Governours have almost ended their Government. The Earth laboureth as sick, yea sick unto death. The Waters pour forth weepings, and have not moisture sufficient to quench their own sorrows. The Aire withereth, for her head is infected. The Fire consumeth and is scalded with his own heat. The bodies above are ready to say, We are weary of our courses. Nature would fain creep again into the bosom of her good and gracious Master. Darknesse is now heavy and sinketh down together: She hath builded her self, yea (I say) she hath advanced her self into a mighty building, she saith, Have done, for I am ready to receive my burden. Hell it self is weary of Earth: For why? The son of Darknesse cometh now to challenge right:[6] and seeing all things prepared and provided, desireth to establish himself a kingdom; saying, We are now stronge enough, Let us now build us a kingdom upon earth, and Now establish that which we could not confirm above. And therefore, Behold the end. When the time cometh, The...... thy sorrows shall be greater than the sweetnesse, the sorrows (I mean) of that thou seest; I mean in respect of the sweetnesse of thy knowledge. Then will you lament and weep for those thou thoughtst were just men. When you earnestly pray it shall be said unto you Labor. When you would take Mercy, Justice shall say, Be it so. Therefore (I say) thirst not overmuch: For fear least thy capacity be confounded. Neither move thou him which hath moved all things already to the end. But do thou that which is commanded. Neither prescribe thou any form to God his building. All things shall be brought into an uniformal Order.[7] Whom thou sayest that thou hast not yet confirmed, confirm with good counsel. It is said I have accepted him. Art not these News sufficient? It is said, He shall govern me a people: of himself he cannot. Therefore let him believe, and secondly Rejoyce that the Angel of God hath so governed him. That in Election he shall govern him a people. Desireth he to hear of greater blessednesse? He hath also said: Then shall it be said unto him, O King. It followeth consequently that he is called, and that to a Kingly Office: For whosoever is Annointed in the Lord, his Kingdom is for ever. Will he be the son of perdition? Let him then with his fathers put on the garments of pride. Desireth he vows? Tell him thou hast prayed for him; the Devil envyeth him, and his estate. Tell him that I say so. Say it is a shame for a Kings Son to commit theft; and for him that is called, to do the workes of unrighteousness. Studiest thou to please him? Give him sharp and wholesome counsel. For in him (I say) the state and alteration of the whole World shall begin. Wouldst thou know from whence I came? Thou shalt. But do it Humbly, it is not my part to meddle any further than my charge. But as it is said before unto thee, So shall it come to passe. Moses had a rod whereby he was known, and the hand of God approved. Let him use therefore to carry the rod of righteousness about him. For we are seven: and in us is comprehended that rod wherewith Moses wrought. As it is begun so I end: What ye see here is holy [pointing to the...... and by him sealed and for until the time. Therefore use patience herein until the time that it s said unto thee...... Venite, videte, (& loquimini) Judicia mea. He that saith this (I speak of my self, and as concerning my message,) is equal with the greatest Angels, and his name is Murifri. Thou hast written my name, and I am of thy Kalender, because thy Kalender is of God. In the grounds of all thy Tables thou shalt finde my name. D. I remember not any such name written by me, but it may be contained in some new Composition, or Collection. Mur....... It is true, for if thou hadst remembred all those things which thou hast written, then should not me message need. D. If I might without offending you, I would move two Petitions unto you, one concerning the Soul, and the other concerning the body: Concerning the Soul, is for one Isabel Lister, whom the wicked Enemy hath sore afflicted long with dangerous temptations, and hath brought her knives to destroy her self withall; she resisteth hitherto, and desireth my helping counsel, which how small it is God knoweth. The other is of another woman, who hath great need, and is driven to maintain her self, her husband, and three children by her hand labour, and there is one that by dream is advertised of a place of Treasure hid in a Cellar, which this woman hath hired thereupon, and hath no longer time of hiring the said Cellar, but till Midsummer next. She, and this dreaming Maiden digged somewhat, and found certain tokens notefied unto her: But so left off. I would gladly have your help herein, if it pleased God. Mur....... I answer thee, I will come again soon, and thou shalt receive a Medicine which shalt teach thee to work help in the first. The second is vanity, for it is not so, but to the intent that after great hope of this world hath infected the weaklings minde: Desperation might have the more open and ready entrance. But yet she shall be comforted for thy sake. D. The praise be unto God. Mur....... I Go. One thing I have to say, be faithfull in all things. I have said. D. I prayed, and gave thanks hartily to God for his mercies, and graces, and so rose up. D. Then he said write, M. 49. under V. 43. under R.35. 1. and 47. under {F.R.I./9.33.42} This shal lead thee to my name, he that sent me be amongst you. D. Amen, Amen, Amen. D. Note in Tabula Collecta, (which I first gathered of the 49 good Angels) I took the third letters out of the names, it is to wit, out of the 49th name, and th...... 47. 9. 33. 42. which agreed very well with the letters, but the five and thirtieth name did not yield R. in his third letter. Therefore I am..... in the.....
