E.K. He is here, that said, he would dwell in omnibus Elementis, &:c. D...... I came from the fountain of light, where is no errour nor darknesse, and have Power, (because it is given me from the Highest) Which, (Lo) is grown and become a mighty Rock, For it is said of me, Behold I will visit them that put their trust in me, with a comfortable strength in the time of need; For my Rock is all everlasting strength, and the Hills of may countenance endure for ever. If then I be the Countenance of God, and a piercing fire sent out as a flame, not onely with his great mercy, but with his good will, and that towards you, overwhelmed, not cast down, but almost for ever buried in a lake of ignorance, and inquenchable flame, such as consumeth with ignorance, deceit it self, and a provocation too manifest, and apparent destruction: If I then with this message (being the message of truth) my self a mean.... sufficient Order for the publishment thereof, can, nor may..... as of...n I am) vehemently despised (the fruits of a good Conscience, notwithstanding stedfast) Then is he of no power of whom am.... because it is written. Such as rise up against my Spirit, I will destroy them in the midst of the same fire, and will deliver their ashes to the windes for a memory of their wickednesse. But he is just, and is without measure: knoweth what is, and what is to come, which hath thus said of you. Behold their ignorance is greater, and they esteem not truth. Lo I have heard them, in the midst of their corruption; yet they are become faithlesse: I minister unto them, but in vain; But behold their mouths are closed up with idlenesse. O ye of little understanding, are you become so blinde, that you will not see? Are the windows of your eares made fast aginst truth? Are your consciences sealed up, with a thrice burnt iron? Desire you light, and yet refuse it? Have you craved..., and now deny it: yea utterly disdain it? D. That is not true. E.K. Now cometh a head behind him...... Lo the end shall become your comfort, if you listen to the songs of my mouth: if not, everlasting folly: and a reward of such, as are weary to hear of Truth. Now I pinched him..... E.K. This he said looking behind him. D...... Burn those blasphemous books of thine, and I will teach thee wisdom. D. Will you have me note down that sentence so...... I will. D. What blasphemous books can I acknowledge, seeing I understand none? If they contain Sentence, make me to perceive it; that so I may compare it, with the Touchstone of God his word, using the Talent of such reason, as God hath given me...... I go, I go, I go. E.K. Now cometh a great fire down, and there appeareth a great huge man, with a great sword in his hand; fire cometh out at his eyes, and at his mouth. This terrible man said,..... Maledicti sunt, qui jurati sunt contra Nomen meum. E.K. Now that wicked creature shaketh himself. D. In nomine Jesu Christi Redemptoris humani generis, Quis tu es? [This was spoken to the man with the sword.]..... Sume vires. D. Deus in adjutorium meum intende, &c. Miserere mei Deus &c. E.K. Now the great huge one kneeleth down, and his face is (now) from meward; he looketh up toward heaven; he hath very long hair, to [p. 57] beneath his girdle, his Robe is long and tucked up. Now he standeth up...... Cursed are they: Cursed are they: Cursed is he for ever. I am, I gave thee power, and sealed thee for a time: Power to use the vehemency of thine own poison; but not to touch my coat, Thus he saith, And (I am) thou art a lyar from the beginning, and the fountain of cursednesse. Damnation is thy dwelling place; Death is thy seat; Vengeance is the Crown of thy disglory. Because thou hast entred into my seat: Hast exalted thy brightnesse, blasphemed my name; wherein (in this Action) thou continuest (No point of thy charge, nor of my permission.) Be thou accursed, weakened, overthrown, and defaced. Thou art vanquished, Thy time is shortened. And why? I am. And I say thou fightest against me, and not against men. I am Justice, and the strength of him that liveth, whom thou hast felt, and shalt feel, world without end; Therefore Depart; Depart I say. E.K. Now the sword standeth by him, with the rags that appeared before...... Vengeance, prepared for others, be thy reward: As it was delivered unto thee, so take it with thee; That the malice which thou shewest to others, may heap up thine own destruction. Jeovah, Jeovah, Jeovascah. E.K. The wicked Tempter falleth down into a hole, and this high creature putteth the sword and rags down after him. Now this great creature appeareth as small as he used to do. And it is Michael. Mic...... Veniat Lux Domini, & fidelium Consolatio. E.K. Now is all come in, as was before: The Vail, the feet of men appearing under, &c. Mic...... Thus hath God dealt mercifully with you. D. His Name be praised for ever. Mic. Thus hath Truth vanquished darknesse. Even so shall you vanquish the World in him which is the Spirit of Power and Truth. For I have Sworn (saith the Lord) and will be merciful unto you: But cease for these daies to come; for they were daies delivered: Let them be (therefore) unto you daies of Repentance: For the end of 40 daies must come: And this Doctrine shall be written unto all Nations, even unto the end of the World. The Grain is yet in the earth, and hath newly consented with the earth: But when it springeth, and bearerh seed, The number shall be the last. D. A dark Parable, to my understanding, is this. Mic...... The transparent fire of meeknsse comfort and warm your souls, rectifie and make strong your bodies, to the eternal comfort of the World to come; in the pilgrimage which you shall endure, with a heavy crosse for the Testimonie of Truth. E.K. A great many voices, say, Amen. E.K. Now he is gone, and the golden Vail is drawn again. D. Omnis laus, honor, Gloria, Victoria & Triumphus sit Deo nostro omnipotenti, Vivo & vero, nunc, & in sempiterna seculorum secula. Amen.
