E.K. Here appeareth the same bad one, sitting, who last appeared. The Cloud with the sword appeareth at last: with two wreaths on one side, and two on the other, spirally. This Creature taketh the cloudy pillar, and throweth it from him divers times. He sayeth. Call as long as thou wilt, I will keep thee for seeing any more sights here. D. Or Lord, attend unto thy glory: Attend unto thy honour, regard the arrogancy of this Luciferine brag against thy younglings expressed. D. And of the Lord, Alb. Laskie, &c...... He swhall come to destruction, as thou and thine to miserable beggery: Because he hath confessed to them that are Ministers of iniquity, spirits of falshood. E.K. He looketh on a bare book, when he saith thus...... The power of God entreth into the Soul or man, and doth visit the Chambers of his understanding: openeth his will with power. The spirits of darknesse are ready for every place, and can deceive, saying, This is of God. Unto these you have listened: and have sworn it as a Covenant between God and you. But I am come from God: and am entred indeed, and will make you hungry in your own foolishnesse, that you may become wise. None hath entred here with power but I. And I will tarry here. And I will be a wall betwixt you, and your imaginations: and betwixt those that have tempted you, and your weaknesse. For thou hast called upon God: and he hath heard thee, and I am he that sayeth so unto thee...... Laws of salvation are ready, follow them. The way into darknesse is wide, and easie, and where light is, it encreaseth joy. Be thou therefore warned by me. Nay, I have said. D. Thou hast said here, That thou art God, is that true? For thou hast said, Thou hast called upon God, and he hath hard thee: And I am he, that sayeth so unto thee...... I see thee: And thy wisdom is nothing: Make of me what thou canst, I am the messager of God...... Avoid darknesse, avoid darknesse, avoid darknesse. E.K. He plucketh down violently (in the stone) the Clouds, and: all becometh light in the stone...... Ly here with thy fellows. Those that are of wisdom, let them understand. D. O Sapientia patris æterni, illumina mentes nostras, ut tibi serviamus in sanctitate, & Justitia toto vitæ nostræ tempore. Amen...... Carmathar, a Knight of the Rhodes, was thirteen years deceived with one that appeared (as he thought) in glory & wisdom in the image of Christ. Antony was beguiled in divers wayes. The Prophets & Apostles have doubted in many things; But because they faithfully believed they were not rejected. Their hope became fruitfull, and they blessed with understanding from above. If so be also, you repent, and be sorry in that you have yielded unto the instruments of wickednesse: and follow on, as they your fathers have done, you shall also become wise: But I say unto you, That which you have consented unto is amisse, and false, worse then errour it self. For, where have you tasted anie fruit out of that Doctrine. How poor is the power, that hath been long foretold of in you. You have forgotten our own knowledge, and are become of seers, blinde: such as grope their way. Such end, such beginning. For the end hangeth from the beginning: and is become a means in it self, to bring all things to passe. But neither the end nor beginning of such things as you have handled hath been perfect, or probable: But a deceit, comprehending the image of falshood: Yea, much more the traps and snares into wickednesse; which deserveth destruction eternally. If this may advise you, Be it so. If these examples and probable arguments be sound, Then necessarily you ought of dutie to be counselled by me: But I have opened my mouth and told you. Be it unto you, according to your disposition. D. Be it unto us according to the mercies and loving kindnesse of the Highest; into whose hands we commit our selves, all our doings, and intents...... That is well said... God be with you. E.K. He is gone, and in the place where he stood the likenesse of a little Circle, as if a print were made with a Thimble brim. D. Soli Deo, Honor omnis, & Gloria. Amen.
