D. After our prayers of the 7 Psalms, and my particular invitation and calling for God his help, and the ministery of his good Angels: After (I say) more than half an hour space attendance; E.K. seemed and thought that he felt a thing about his head, as if it clawed with Hawks claws. It continued no long time. And toward the Easterly corner of my great study above, seemed to E.K. clouds to appear, far off, as at a quarter of a mile distance. Then appeared a Sea, endlesse one way, and a Haven mouth with a River which fell or ran into that mouth. And besides that River doing down into the Haven, did another River appear by running into the Sea, without any Haven making or having. The water of this Sea, is not like Sea-water, but rather like Quicksilver. Now cometh a mountain, and swimmeth upon that main Sea. Now that mountain seemeth to rest and stand before that River mouth, that is by the Haven. A voice...... Measure me. E.K. Now seemeth a great thing like a man to stand, with one leg in the foresaid River, and with the other in the said Sea, by having a comer of the... id between his said legs. His right leg is in the River, and his left in the Sea. His right leg seemeth gold, and his left leg lead. The mountain standeth before him. His legs are like two posts, of the substance of the Rainbow. He is very high: he hath a face, but with many eyes and noses, but not distinctly to be discerned. His body seemeth to be red Brasse. He standeth with his arms abroad, and no hands appear. His right arme is of the colour of silver; His left arme seemeth to be black; twinkling. His head is much of the colour of that Sea wherein his left leg standeth. Now beginneth a right hand to appear; a fair right hand. A voice said to this man...... Measure the Water. He answered....... It is 250 Cubits. A voice...... Measure that foot of earth. E.K. He pointeth to the mountain. Answer...... It is a cube twice doubled in himself in a straight line. E.K. One speaketh behind me, saying...... Measure the Sea also. Answer...... It is 750. Cubits. E.K. He now stoopeth to it, and taketh of it in his hand. He saith...... The fourth in the third, and three in himself square. The age of Nature. E.K. Now all is gone, all is clear, and nothing appeareth. D. At length after this, E.K. heard from the foresaid corner of the Study, the noise, as of a Ship tossed and jolted of the waves of the Sea. After that E.K. saw one that stood all covered in a white cloud by the Easterly corner of the Table, above the Table in the Air. He said...... Beati sunt, quibus veritas, spes, & consolatio est: & quibus luminaria majora inserviunt, in fortitudine & potentia æterni & Omnipotentis Dei. E.K. Now the cloud covereth him, and abideth. E.K. Now he cometh out of the cloud and stepeth three steps forward, [p. 63] and the cloud standeth behind him, like a garment..... At length he said...... Then is their blessednesse, eternal life. E.K. I never saw him before: He is covered with a red Purple Robe, such as my Lord, here, useth; but made somewhat like a Surplesse. His head is covered with feathers like Down: His face is like a childes face: His neck is bare: His legs are ba.... most white: His garment cometh not but to the small of his leg. He standeth upon a white great round Table, like Chrystal, all written with letters, infinitely. On the middle of the Table is a great swelling or pommel of the same substance the Table is of. Upon that pommel he standeth. He hath nothing in his hands; neither can his hands be discerned. His Robe hath no sleeves. He said...... Non possum diutius videri: Servus sum Altissimi: Novi Terram in paradiso. Spiritus sum SAPIENTIÆ: Nomen meum est NALVAGE. E.K. He maketh a crosse upon the place where he standeth. Nal...... Beatus Pater: Beatus Filius: Beatus Spiritus Sanctus. Bea... tu...: Mensuratio rerum & substantiarum omnium visibilium & invisibilium, verus & sanctus est Deus in promissis suis & veritas ejus, Talis est. E.K. Hereupon he sheweth a round Globe...... Clum, Mundus, Angelus, Homo, Nihil, & non nihil, & omne quod est, vel erat, Nihil est nisi splendor, Gubernatio, & unitas Dei: Quæ a Centro formata est reformata est, ab initio ad tempus mensuratum, & in perpetuum, Laus tibi in Cælo, Laus tibi in inferno, ubi non est Laus, nec Gloria. Quæ jam infusa sentio, doceo: Sed modo, lingua, & ideomate prædicto. E.K. He tumeth round when he speaketh. Nal...... Omnis Caro maximè est sibi applicabilis, in naturæ & perfecctione sua. Igitur revelanda sunt Mysteria Dei, non ut audiantur, sed ut intelligantur. E.K. Now cometh a great smoak.: now I see nothing: now he is gone. A voice...... Hear. [E.K. I see no body.] E.K. Methinketh that two speak, or else this voice giveth an echo...... The impatient and troublesome spirits of indignation, wrath, blasphemy, and disobedience, continually contend, bear arms, and ravenously run wilfully, against those that are the.... Messager and Angles of the Dignified and Triumphant Glory: which is now the Ministery of him that is Dignified in his Father: To the honour and glory of those that are humble and faithful in obedience. Yea those wicked ones keep open wars against God, and his Annointed in Heaven and Earth, onely for the safeguard and true keeping of such as love God, and follow his Commandments, rejoyce in Truth, and are visited in Righteousnesse. Dark speeches to the flesh: but words mixed with humane understanding: wherein briefly I will manifest the envy between the wicked (in respect of their enviousnesse) and those that are justified in Heaven; which fight in the government of mans soul in the Creatures of God: Not in that they shall overcome: But in that they are envious and proud from the beginning. Their contention is evidently amongst you, which are joyned in the service of God: Not as Deservers, but as Chosen; whose vessels and power, are best known unto God. E.K One standeth on my left shoulder and saith. Sinister...... Dost thou not hear, how like a fool he speaketh, without all reason? Thou art a spirit of lying. Thou art one farthest from the glory of God. Thou art a sower of lyes, and a teacher of false doctrine. E.K. Thus saith he on my left hand. Sinister...... Speak, for I have power over thee. Canst thou deny it? Dexter...... Thou thinketh so, because thou hadst power: But the brightnesse thou hadst, is turned into iniquity. True it is, thou hadst power to banish the wicked out of Paradise: But me thou knowest not; because thou hast not banished me. In respect of thy dignification (which sprang with power) I say with the Hallelujah: But in respect of thy fall, Thus saith the Lord; Posui tenebras à tergo meo. Sinister...... Fy upon God, that ever he created me. Dexter...... Even thus, do they seek continually to enter into the weakest vessel: of envy, not to triumph; for they know they shall not: but they hinder the time with man, wherein they may offend his conscience. E.K. I hear howlingand lamenting. Dexter.[12]..... Such are those of whom thou seekest aid and comfort: Those that appear unto thee, have sought thy soul; And the fruit of them, is according to their destruction. Believe them not. It is said before. Thou dealest with devils. What reward shall he reap, that fighteth against the Highest? Or taketh part with such as are banished from Righteousnesse? Much more shall his punishment be, which seeketh help of those that are dishonoured. For dishonour..... to imperfection, and is become a monster for destruction. It is written.... Nothing can stand before the Lord, that is imperfect; Much more that imperfection weakened, which obeyeth the imperfect. Leave, for the kingdom of Righteousnesse is at hand, And thou must vow. Hear the Lord, That thy sins may be forgiven thee: For the Prophesies of the Lord are not uttered to the world, with the seales of the wicked. Therefore become holy, that thou mayest augment the benefit of God bestowed amongst you: and render it to the world, as the message of truth, with thanksgiving. Meum est pauca dicere. D. Sed quis sis, Nescimus, an non idem Naluage, qui nobiscum prius egisti hodie? Nal...... I am. E.K. Why call you those Devils, with whom I deal; not offending my conscience, but intending to do good to my self and my neighbours? If you be of God, where is the fruit of your doctrine? &c. Nal...... If they were not Devils and enemies of truth, they would praise and honour God in his Messengers of truth. But because these Actions are true, and the truth of them shall be the destruction of their kingdom; Therefore devilishly and enviously they resist the will of God. Denying the power; Blaspheming his truth, and infecting his vessels. In our Doctrine there is nothing taught but the state of the world, here, and to come. The prophesies or time, and the knitting up of God his mysteries, opened from time to time, to those that are his sanctified: as testimonies in the Creation and Operation of his Creatures; whereof this doctrine is a part. The Prophets in their times were not ignorant by revelation of the good will of their Creator. The Apostles in Christ his kingdom, were made partakers of the mysteries to come, of the state of mans salvation; and ending of this combat, which is in that day, when all Creatures shall receive their reward. The Church of God is alwayes garnished and furnished with spiritual Revelations: as a Mansion or Dwelling-place of the Holy Ghost. Those latter dayes, and end of harvest must have also Labourers: For no Age passeth away, but through the hands of God, who maketh the end of his doings known to the World: To the end, the World may consent unto him in Glory. So that this Doctrine, is the mysteries of the word of God, sealed from the beginning, now delivered unto man, for that Reformation which must be in One unity established unto the end. The very part of that Circle, which comprehendeth the Mysteries of the Highest, in his Prophets, Apostles, and Ministers yet to come, which are alive, and shall bear witnesse of eternal Comfort. The fruit of our Doctrine is, that Fod should be praised. For of our selves we seek no glory: But we serve you to your comfort, teaching you the will of God, in the self same Christ, that was crucified, sold and died in the Patriarchs, and published to the World by his Disciples, and is now taught unto you, in the remission of sins.... greatest in the World, for the end of all things. The very key and entrance into the secret mysteries of God, (in respect of his determination on earth) bringing with it reward in the end of eternal glory, which is the greatest Treasure. Those that tempt thee, do it in respect of the fear they have of the power of God, springing in thee. Let this suffice. The World is vain in respect of eternal joyes. Heaven and Earth passeth away. The reward of the Righteous endureth. E.K. Nal...... What do you see imperfect, in all that hath been delivered? D. Nal...... You have 49 Tables: In those Tables are contained the mystical and holy voices of the Angels: dignified: and in state disglorified and drent in confusion: which pierceth Heaven, and looketh into the Center of the Earth: the very language and speech of Children and Innocents, such as magnifie the name of God, and are pure.[13] Wherein, the Apostles understood the diffuse sound of the World, imperfected for mans transgression. These Tables are to be written, not by man, but by the finger of her which is mother to Vertue [D. Madimi said her mother would write them, An. 1583.] Wherein the whole World, (to flesh incredible) all Creatures, and in all kinds, are numbred, in being, and multitude. The measure and proportion of that substance, which is Transitory, and shall wax old. These things and mysteries are your parts, and portions sealed, as well by your own knowledge, as the fruit of your Intercession. The knowledge of Gods Creatures. Unto me are delivered five parts of a time: Wherein I will open, teach, and uncover the secrets of that speech, that holy mysterie. To the intent the CABALA of NATURE, in voice, substance of bodie, and measure in all parts may be known. For there is nothing secret, but it shall be revealed, and the son of GOD shall be known in POWER, and establish a Kingdom with righteousnesse in the earth, and then cometh the end. For the earth must come under subjection, and must be made pure. That death may be swallowed in his own Kingdom, and the enemy of righteousnesse finde no habitation. The word or God endureth for ever. His promises are just. His spirit is truth. His judgements inscrutable. Himself Universall. He it is of whom you labour. The promises of God in this earthly Noble man shall be fulfilled. Salomon used the places of honour, and was exalted. Thus sayeth the Lord. I have sealed him against hatred; and have made his seat open. Let him therefoe arise up, that the people may see him. For mortal men have places of honour, and in their own Courts, they come to be exalted: Who is he that made the earth, and dignified him with a living Soul? Even he it is that exalteth, and in whose hands the Kingdoms of the earth are setled. Behold, the fifth time shall come, (in respect of the parts of time) and it is the day, that hath been promised. Then shall your eyes be open. Then shall you see. A voyce. Stay there...... Nal. I obey. E.K. Now I see him passe away over the Christalline Table, which is round like a Cart wheel, having a great knop in the middle. D. As concerning our ordering of the Table, and the rest of the furniture, we are desirous to know, what is now to be done: seing now we are come to the end of this first journey. A voyce. Be it thy charge. I will put to my hand. D. Mean you it to be my charge to order these things, as my imagination shall be instructed, by God his favour. A voyce. It is so said before. D. Gloria, Honour, & gratiarum actio Deo omnipotenti Deo nostro Domino & Patri Nostro: nunc, & in sempiterna seculorum secula. Amen.
