D. Upon the perusing and examining, this prayer Gabriel revealed unto us, I found certain imperfections, and some doubts, wherein we thought it good to ask counsel, and require Gabriel's advise: That the prayer might be perfect, as he might well like of to Gods honour and our comforts. At the length: Nothing appearing to the eye, but the noise of a sound about E.K. his head, and withall a mighty weight, or invisible burden on his right shoulder, as he sate in the green Chair, by the holy Table or place: And unto certain places of the prayer, which I note and repeated, those words, and answers were by Gabriel given. Gab...... The Preface must be in, for if our hearts be not prepared unto prayer, our prayers are in vain. Quid differs Domine, Cor meum in melius Comfortare. Per te & in nomine tuo resurgam; id est, Halleluja. The first way is more effectual. Say Angele mee, but the other is more effectual, Cura me sanum. Regard me, and look. unto me, being whole. D. As concerning the inscription, which I have written before the prayer: I would gladly know, whether it be to your well liking of it. Gab...... Fiant omnia ad laudem Dei. My doings are of no such regard: What I have done be it done, so that your additions be to the honour of God, it is sufficient. The effect of his prayer is greater, then is the form. The former is greater then the forming. That is to say, he that hath formed it, is mightier then any virtue, wherein it is formed. Wheresoever, therefore the mind formeth it with you with perfect humility and consent, there is also the former. As formed of him therefore, I leave you to the end of his workmanship, which continually formeth all things according to his own fashion. Sins...... Your sins have banished me, from saying those things I would. D. O cleanse our hearts, and wash away our sins, amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea & a peccato meo munda me. Gab...... Sins are never washed away, or forgotten with the highest, but with such as are sorry, and also make satisfaction. O Lord, full sorry I am for my sins, and what satisfaction is... required I would gladly know. Gab...... The offence was not thine. Every one must satisfie, or else he shall be damned. D. Good Lord expound to us the mystery of satisfaction. Gab...... When the Soul offendeth, and is consenting to wickednesse, he is then to make a spiritual satisfaction, which is the end and perfect fruit of Contrition. For those that are truely Contrite, do truely satisfie. Another satisfaction there is, which is external. This satisfaction is to be made for sins committed against thy Neighbour: For if thou offend thy Neighbour, and do him wrong, or take any thing from him, by fraud, or violence, it is a great sin. For this, thou canst never be Contrite if thou make not satisfaction, not onely confessing it, but in satisfying his desire that is offended, and that with sorrow. This is true Doctrine, and shall never be overthrown by the spirits of false invention: which indeed is the first eye unto the Devil. If you may offend your brother, and be therefore accursed: How much more shall you be accursed, when you offend the messager of him that is your Father. Behold, he sayeth not, I have once done amisse. God be mercifull to you, that his mercies might be the greater upon you. Be mindfull of my sayings. D. Deus misereatur nostri, & benidicat nobis, Cor mundum Creet in nobis, & spiritum rectum ponat in prcordiis nostris, Amen. Wednerday, Junii 26. Hora 9 ½. præsente D. Alberto Lasky. D. As we were together in my study, and I standing at my Desk. There appeared to E.K. a round Globe of white smoak over my head. Thereupon I perceived the presence of some good spiritual Creature, and straight way appeared the good Angel. I.L. D. I said, Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini, & igitur nobis est gratus laudis adventus. I.L. Et quid tu dicit? [ad E.K. Loquutus est.] E.K. Si bonus es, & lucis spiritus, bene venisti, I.L. I.L. Et bene tibi fiet. E.K. He hath a besome in his hand. E.K. What will you do with this besome? D. Quid cum tua scopa decrevisti facere? I.L. Secundum Dei beneplacitum. E.K. Here cometh a big tall creature, forma humana quæ facile non possit discerni, oculi ejus videantur esse duo Carbunculi Lucentes & mirabiliter micantes. Caput ejus videtur aureum, os videtur valde largum esse, & Caput videtur mobile & quasi ab humeris separabile, totum reliquum Corpus videtur esse marmor quasi. Vox...... Fecisti tu? [E.K.] he said so to IL. IL...... Feci. Decedite in Oratorium, nam magna hic dicenda sunt. Qui decedent? IL. Princeps, & tu. (Bow down thy knees brother) and here what I do say. [To E.K. he spake.] Magnus ille...... Filioli hominum quid vultis? D. Cupimus mundari à peccatis, & illuminari sapientia divina, ad ejus honorem. E.K. Est lumen quoddam in Aere: & ipse osculatur lumen illud. IL...... Dic, Propitius esto mihi peccatori. E.K.[35] Propitius esto mihi peccatori, O Deus, crescit jam Corpus istius magni in immensum quantum, quod non possit facile discerni. Mag...... Filii hominum, quid vultis? D. Sapientiam veram. Mag...... O vos pueri & filii hominum, quid vultis? D. Sapientium in Deo, & propter Deum, veram. Mag...... Audite, quia Justus & verus sum (inquit Dominus;) Vos nihil impium, iniquum, vel injustum suscipite: Nam quæcunque feceritis mala, vel negligentia, vel inscitia, vel contemptu, vel etiam nimia superstitione sunt, (Sicut Scriptum est) potestate tradita spiritibus mendacibis, ut vexarent bonos, dum affligerent males. Sed dixit Deus (Deus sum quidem vester) qui Spiritum Sanctum non aufero a vobis: Nam estis, quos per potentiam confirmabo meam: Nolite igitur Cacomagi Cum perversis fieri, qui inaniter rebus & Idolis hujus mundi potentiam ascribunt meam. Sed Credite perseveranter & ad finem usque & fidem habete: quia, (per me) omnia mundana superat sigillum, & subjiciet Dæmones voluntati vestræ. Dæmones sub regionibus permanentes, & inclusi Lunaribus, Angeli mei non sunt: Sed Cælestes, Sancti & veri boni. Nonne vos homines & mortales & non sine peccato, Cui voluntatem liberam, simul & peccare permissi: ut intelligendo exinde malum, & me Deum vestrum agnoscatis vos. Audite igitur, Audite filii mei,..... Calamitatem totius terræ omniumque viventium prædico. Bella erunt undique horrenda & tristissima, Et peribit ad tertiam usque partem gladio & fame Terra. Erunt cædes multorum, (penè omnium) Principum interitus, Terræ motus, quales non ab initio mundi; Terrestris Dæmonis (Turcæ viz.) Imperii ruina. Nam sic constitui. [E.K.] Nunc respcit vos. D. A.L. and I were in my Oratory. Stephanus, Poloniensis, miserrime in bello jugulatus, Cadet. Iterum dico: Stephanus, Poloniensis Rex, miserrime in bello jugullatus, cadet. Vocabant te iterum [respicit Alb. Lasky] ad Regnum Principes: quem etiam ego Poloniæ, Moldaviæ, & populi mei Ducem & regem constituero. Tunc attinges desideratam metam & non errabis a Scopo. Quia ego sum Deus tuus, & docebo te utilia & vera. Et dabo tibi Angelos meos adjutores & comites etiam ad secretum quodlibet mundi. Vigilato, Orato. Igitur, Pius esto, donec venerit potestas mea & in te, & supra vos. Interim sigillate quæ vidistis, & ne in publicum producite. [E.K.] Now he shaketh: he seemeth to turn his head about his shoulders.[36] E.K. Nunc accipit ensem & percutit nubes, & crucem format ante se, ab utroque latere & post se. Crede mihi, est finis rerum: Dimittuntur Peccata vestra. E.K. Cadit, quasi distractus, (vel se separans) in 4 partes, & avolat. Vox...... Habetis quæ a deo Decreta sunt. D. Misericordia Dei, sit semper nos nunc, & semper. Amen.
