 PREFACE. 
 
 HAT is here pre(ented unto thee ( Chriftian Reader) be= 
 in^ a True and pAithful Relation ^ O'c. CascheTidebearech, and 
 will be further cleared by this Preface) though by the carriage 
 of it, in fomc relpeds, and by the Nature of it too, it might 
 be deemed and termed, /^ Work of Varknejfe : Yrf it is no o- 
 ther then what with great tendcrneife and circumfpedlion, 
 was tendered to men of highelT: Dignity in Europe , Kings and Princes , and 
 by all ( Ewg/W excepted) liftned unto for a while with good refped:. By fome 
 gladly embraced and entertained for along time ; the Fame whereof being car- 
 ryed unto ^o;«^,it made the Pope to beftir himlelf, not knowing what the event 
 of it might be, and how much it might concern him. And indeed, filled all 
 men, Learned and Unlearned in moft places with great wonder and aftonifh- 
 mcnt : all which things will be (hewed and made good (to the utmoft of 
 what we have laid) in the Contents of this^book, by unqueftionable Records 
 and evidences. And therefore I make no queftion but there will be men e- 
 nough found in the world whole curiofity will lead them to Read what I think 
 it not to beparahell'din that I\tnd by any book that hath heenjet out in any Age to read : I 
 fay, though it be to no other end then to fatisfie their cUrio/ity. But whatfbever 
 other men, according to their leveral inclinations, may propole to themfelvcs 
 in the reading of it , yet I may and muft here profcfle in the nrft place, in Truth 
 and Sincerity, that the end that I propofe to my felf ( fo far as I have contri- 
 buted to the Pubhftiing of the Work) is not tolatisfiecuriofity,but to do good, 
 and promote Religion. When we were firft acquainted with the Book, and 
 were offered the reading of it, having but lately been converlant iri aSubjedtof 
 much Affinity ; to w?t, o^ MJiaken Injpiration 3.nd Tojfe/sion ^ through ignorance 
 of Natural caules (which labour of ours, as it was ouraime at the firft in pub- 
 lifhing of it, to do good, fo we have had good reafon fince to believe, that We 
 did not altogether miffeof whai weaimedat)we could not but gladly accept of it. 
 And as we gladly accepted , fo we read unto the end with equal eagernefle and 
 Alacrity : Which when we had done, truly it was our Opiniort , That the 
 Publifhing of it could not but be very Seafonable and Ufeful, asagainft Jihei/ls 
 at all times, fo in thele Times efpecially, when the Spirit of Error and Illufi- 
 on, not in moMAnabajftiJi s only, even of the worft kind that former Ages have 
 known ancf abhorred, doth fo much prevail, but in many alfb , who though 
 they difclaim and deteft openlv (and heartily too, I hope, moft of them) the 
 fruiiis andelfed:s that fuch caules have produced in others, yet ground them- 
 selves nevertheleile upon the lame principles of Suppofed Infpiration and irnma- 
 ginary %eViliitions ,• and upon that account deem themfelves, if not the Only, yet 
 much better Chriftians then others. And I was much Confirmed in this Judg-' 
 inent when I was told (as indeed 1 was, at the firft, by them that knew very 
 Weil) that the ^o^ Reverend, Pious and Learned JirchbiJ]?op of ^rmagh^ lately 
 
 . _ „ A ' ^ " deceaf- 
 
The T'B.eF AQS. 
 
 deceafed, upon reading of the faid book, before his death, had declared him- 
 felf to the fame purpole, and wijhed it 'fnuted. But becaufe it is very poffible, 
 that every Reader will not at the firft be lb well able of himfelf to make that 
 goodufe by good and Rational Inferences and Obfervations of this fad Story 
 as is aimed at, my chiefeft aim in this Preface is to help fuch. And becaufe it is 
 not lefle probable that this Licentious Age will afford very many, who with the 
 Saduces oi old ( that is, Jewifh Epicures} believe no 5/?/m, or Angel, orRefur- 
 redion ,• who therefore being prepolTefled with prejudice when they hear of fo' 
 many Spirits as are here mentioned, and fo many ftrange Apparitions, infeveral 
 Kinds, will not only fling back themfelves, but will be ready to laugh at any 
 other that give any credit to inch things. Although I will not take upon me to 
 convert anybyReafon that are engaged into fuch an opinion by a wicked lifej 
 that is, Unjuit pradifes. Luxurious lewd courfes,open profanenefife, under the 
 name of Wit and Galantry, and the like , becaufe, I think, it is veryjuftwitH 
 God to leave fuch to the error and blindnelTc of their Judgments ,- lb that with,-, 
 out a Miracle there can be little hopes of fuch. Yet I fhall hope that fuch as aj-^ 
 Rational men, fober in their Lives and Converfations , fuch as I have known 
 my felf; yea, 'men of excellent parts in other things, men that are both willing 
 to hear and able to confider : that fuch, I fay, may receive fome latisfadion by. 
 what I (hall fay and propofeto their Ingenuous confideration in this matter. Were 
 we to araue the cafe by Scripture, the bufineffe would foonbe at an end ; there 
 being no one Controverted point, among men, that I know of, that can receive 
 a more Ample, Full, Clear and fpeedy determination, then this bulinefs of Spi- 
 rifi, and Wtuhes^ and Apparitions may, if the Word of God might be judge. But 
 I will iuppofe that 1 have to do with fuch, who though they do not altogether 
 deny the Word of God, yet will not eafily , however, admit >of any thing that 
 they 'think contrary to Reafon , or at leaft not to be maintained by Realbn. I 
 fhall therefore forbear all Scripture Proofs and feftimonies in this particular, 
 and delire the Chriftian Reader ( who otherwife might juftly take offence) to 
 take notice upon what ground it is that I forbear. 
 
 But. though I will not ufe any Scripture for proof, yet by way of Application 
 I hope I may be allowed to ufe fome Scripture words, which may duedus 
 perchance to a good Method in the examination of this bullneffe. The Apoltle 
 faith in a place, <p«.Vxo^7s/ 1*^*/ (ro^oJ, e;u»s«e>icrct:. : (profe/sin^them/ihes to he wife ^ they became 
 fools) I fliall not enquire of whom, and upon what occafion it was fpoken : I 
 draw no argument from it ; only becaule there is a fhew of great Wiiclom in 
 this Opinion J and yet, ^s I conceive, as much of Error and falfhood (that is, 
 Folly J as the word is often ufed) as in any other falfe opinion that is lelfe popular. 
 I will frame my difcourfetothis iffue, firft, to enquire what it is that makes 
 it fo popular and pluifiblc, among them efpccially that pretend to more then 
 ordinary Wifdom^ and then fecondly, lay it open(as I amable)co the view in its 
 right colours, that the Folly or falfhood of it may be difcernabie even to ordi- 
 nary judgments. 
 
 Fiji then, (as for them that deny Spirits ^ Sec.) we lay. The world is full of im- 
 pofturc; to know this, to obferve it in all Trades, inall ProfelTions, in all ranks 
 and degrees of men, is to know the world, and that is to be wife. Though we 
 call zhem Jailers J yet they deierveto be thought the plainelldeaUng men of the 
 world that fliew their tricks openly in the ftreets for money ; for they profefle 
 what they are. They are the trueil; Juglers that do their feats (and they for mo- 
 
The T%EFACE. 
 
 ny toojttioft of them) under the Veil and Reputation of HolincfTc^Sandity, (or 
 Saintfhip) Religion, Virtue, Juftice, Friendfhip ; fine words to catch men that 
 are ofealie Belief, and thinks that everything that glillers muft needs be gold. 
 Hence it is, that men that have had the Regutation of Wife men in the world ■■ 
 have commended this unto us as greateft Wildom, Not Easily To Be- 
 L I E V £■: Mw?*' ^ iiit^vY,sa [e.Tiriiv : «fT?* 7<tt?T* ^Sy (pftfSy Epicharmus got more credit for 
 this one faying ( and hath done more good too, perchance) then many that 
 have been the Authors of vaft Volumes. Now if thofe things that are expofed 
 to fenfc, the proper Objedis of our Eyes andEares, be lyable to {omuchlm- 
 pofture and Deceit, that the wifeft can fcarce know what to believe: How 
 much more caution do we need in thofe things that are fo much above Senfe 
 and in fome refpcds contrary to Senfe (and that is «S/)/>/ff) that we be not deceiv- 
 ed ? If we confidertheNaturc of man, his Bodily frame, the AfFedionsofhis 
 foul, the Faculties of his mind, we (hall have no occafion at all to wonder if 
 moft men are apt to believe and to be cheated- But as no caufe to wonder, fo as 
 little cauie to imitate : Felix qui rerum potuit cognofcere caufas ! ri^<t]o^oyU, a deftre of- 
 or to grange things that may caufe amaztmentj is the proper affection of -the vulgar,that 
 is, of moll men , which they bring into the world with them, ( it is theob- 
 (ervationof the wileftof menthat have Written concerning the affairs and a<51:i- 
 onsof men) and cannot be rid of but by wifdom, which is the happinefle of 
 few : Etrandi^ non necefsitas tantum^ fed amor. Seneca fbmewhere fpeakingof the 
 Nature of Man j There was a time when the world was much governed by 0- 
 racles ; private men went unto them as unto God, Kings and Princes lent unto 
 them to be advifed about greateft matters : and fo much faith was afcribcd unto 
 them, generally , that the very word became a Proverb appliable unto thofe 
 things, whereof no queftion can be made. Yet thofe very ancient Heathens , 
 that tell us of thefc Oracles, tell us of their vanity; and though they fay nor. 
 That all were falfe and counterfeit, yet whileft they acknowledgit of lbme,they 
 give us juft occafion to fufpecft that it might have been found iis true of the reft 
 alfb, had like care been taken to examine the truth of them alfo. 
 
 Again, there was a time (and that time not many hundred years yet paft) 
 when Miracles were the only difcourfe and delight of men: Ghoftsand Spi- 
 rits were in every houle ; and fb prone were men to receive what was delive- 
 red unto them in that kind, that Miracle-makers were much put to it , not 
 to make their ftories probable, (for that was not ftood upon ) but to make 
 them wonderful enough; infomuch that fome have been forced seetheiifeof.i<- 
 to complain publickly of the credulity of the people, who yet them- *"""" '^^• 
 felves tell us much more, I dare fay, then was ever true. As of Miracles, fo 
 of Exorcifmes : How many Divels and Spirits have been driven out of men and 
 women, fuppofed to be p^pJJ^d^ by Iblemn Exorcifmes, to the great wonder 
 of the beholders, which afterwards upon further fearch and examination, have 
 been convicted to have been nothing; but the artifices and fubtil contrivances of 
 men ? Sentences and Judgments have palled upon fuch cheats when they have 
 been difcovered in moft places of Europe, which have been publiOied. But 
 they have done ftrange things though ( fome that were though: poffefTed) and 
 things impoftible, to ordinary fenfe, to be done by Nature, It is very true,lome 
 have : But they that know what ftrange things may be done to the amaze-

 ment of all not acquainted with fuch myfteries, by long lifi and Cupme^ they 
 will not eafily wonder (fo as to make a fupernatural thing of it) though they 
 fee things, which , to their fight and of moft, cannot but feem very wonder- 
 ful and almoft impoiTible. As for the bodily temper of man and of his ^rain^ 
 it hath been fufficicntly by fome late books of that fubjea: ( Enthufia/me ) 
 both by reafons from Nature, and by fund ry examples proved, that a very lit- 
 tle diftemper ol the brain,fcarce difcernable unto any,but thofe that are well verfcd 
 in theftudyof Natural caufes , is enough toreprefent Spirits, Angels and Di- 
 vels, Sights and Stories of Heaven and Hell to the Fancy : by which fober kind 
 of MadnelTe anddeliration, fo little underftood vulgarly, many have been, and 
 are daily deceived j and from thefe things , through the ignorance of men , 
 ftrant^e things fometimeshaveenfued, and the peace of Common- wcales hath 
 fuffered not a little. 
 
 Jnjlotk^ in his Meteors, tells of one thatalwayes faw (fo he thought,at leaft) 
 another man's fhape before his eyes, and how they happened unto him naturally, 
 he gives a reafon. Hyppocrates^ mpi araf9«r«<v^, ( a v^'-y fliuit Difcourlc, but full 
 of excellent matter) fheweth how fome, both men and women, through Na- 
 tural caufes, come to fancy to them felves that they fee j^^v^-f Divels and Spirits, 
 and to be tormented in their Souls, even to the making away of themfelves by 
 their own hands. The Author of the book, Ve Morbo Sacro, (very ancient too, 
 bur notricrht HyppocrateSj as many are of opinion) hath excellent matter too,to 
 the fame purpoie ; but I have not the book a- this time by me. Hyppocrates ^ 
 (where before) fheweth how many in that cafe were gulled by the Priefts of 
 thofe times, making them believe , That this happened to them through the 
 anther of fome god. " They that are verftinthe 0/^«c/iiknow,Thatthereis a 
 "way, through the help of ^lajfes th^Lt fhall not be feen, to make moving fha- 
 * 'dows that Ihall appear like Ghofts, to the great terror of the ignorant behold- 
 " er : and it is faid, That pretended Aftrologers and Fortune-tellers cheat many 
 " by thofe fights. It is the opinion of fome Jewifh Rabbins , That what 
 Ghofls or Souls are raifcd by ISjtcromancy^ they alwayes appear inverfocorp&re^ that 
 is their head dowards and feet upwards. Though nothing is to be wondered 
 at in Raboins, who (commonly) ate as full of ridiculous conceits as ever came 
 into the head of any Bedlam: Yet my opinion is, " That the firfl ground of 
 " this wild conceit was, fome appearance by the Species of an objed:, gathered 
 "through a little ^/dj/e into a dark room. For fo indeed the objeds muftap- 
 " pear mVerfo corpore if it be done in a high room, and the objeds from whence 
 "the Spiecies are gathered be lower then the glafle through which theypafTe. And 
 the reafon of it is very Demonftrable to the fight of any reafonable man. Cer- 
 tainly ,by this fecret(which yet is no great (ecret,being commonly leen and pradif- 
 ed among them that are any thing curious ) ftrange things may be done by a 
 Cunning-man, to their great amazement that know not the caule. There 
 would be no end if 1 fhould attempt to gather from feveral Authors what hath 
 been invented by men, and what may be done by Art to cheat men in matters 
 of thisnature. Letany man, thatisyetaftrangertoit, but read the Hfe of ^Vx- 
 ander the falje frophet^ or Prognofticator , written by L«ad/7, and he Oiall lee no- 
 table examples of fuccefl'eful Cheats and Impoflures, fcarce credible indeed, buc 
 that the thing was yet then frelli and famous , and that all circumibni.es of 
 ^ - Hifto-* 
 
The T%EFJCE. 
 
 Hiftory confirm the truth of the relation. And let him that reads it jnda^r 
 what dull and dry fellows the Mountebank- Aftrologers, Proanoftjcators and 
 Fortune-tellers, of thefe dayes are,.. to this Noble, Renowned Alexmviou Orily 
 let him know that reads , that Lnckn vjis a profeft Atheift, and therefore np 
 wonder if he find Epicurus fpokerl of with great refpedt, whom all Atheiil:s,and 
 Atheiftically inclined are fo much obliged to honour. -Thi^-vvcj^ted, I th'ink 
 the Story is very worthy to be known, and much more worthy to be read hyal\ 
 men (confideringthe good ufe that may be made of it) then many books that are 
 daily tranflated out of other languages, 
 
 Butlaftly, If there were any fuch thing, really as Divelsand Spirits that u(e to 
 appear unto men ; to whom lliould they (probably) fooner appear, then to fuch 
 as daily call upon them, and devote their Souls and Bodies untothern by dread- 
 ful Oaths and Imprecations ? And again, then to fuch, who through damnable 
 curiofity have many times ufed the means ( the befl: they could find m books by 
 Magical Circles, Chara(aers and Invocations) and yet never, neither the one nor 
 the other faw any thing ? 
 
 I have faidasmuch as I mean to lay (though fbmewhat perchance might be 
 addedj to fhew theplaufibleneflfe of the opinion, in oppofition to vulgar appre-' 
 henlions and capacities, whereby (as I conceive, for I have not wittingly o- 
 mitted any thing that I thought material) it chiefly imitles it felf to wildom^ 
 and more then ordinary prudence , which all men generally are ambitious of! 
 Yet I would not have it thought that all men that hold this concluiion That 
 there be no Spirits, ^c. go fo rationally to work, or can give this account or 
 any other more rational and plaufible for what they hold. God knows there 
 be many in the world, men of no learning, and mean capacities, who can fpeak 
 as peremptorily as the beft, notbecaule they have conlidered of it, and under- 
 ftand the grounds of either opinion, but becaufe they know, or have heard it 
 is the opinion of fomc Learned, and they hope they fhall be thought learned 
 too if they hold with them. Befides an ordinary (for Ibme have been learned)

 our anTwers may have occafion to fay fomewhat to the fame purpofe ; not of 
 that Author or his book, which hejudgeth, anything, but of the ground upon

 that deny Spirits have gone upon. But we will go Methodically to work, anxl 
 take every thincr in order, as we have propofed in the oDjed:ions. 
 
 Firji, We faid, The world was full of Impofture. It is granted, of Im-

 fore there is no truth in the world, or at leaft not co be attained unto by mortal

 for the underftanding of ancient Authors , Phylofophcrs efpecially. I could

 very far that way. But this will not be granted by fome I am fure that are or 
 have been thought great oppugners of the common opinion about Witches and 
 Spirits • fome Phylicians I mean, and Naturalifts by their profelTion. But may 
 not weargue as plaufibly againft that which they profefle, as they have doneor 
 can do againft Spirits and Apparitions ? We would be loath to make fo long a 
 digrelTion • we have had occafion elfewhere to fay fomewhat to this purpofe: 
 and they that will be fo curious may fee what hath been written by Cornel. Jgrip- 
 pa (who is very large upon this fiibjed:) about it, not to nstme any oth-rs. It is 
 not yet a full twelvc-moneth , that a friend of mine, a Gentleman of quality, 
 brought his Lady to London (fome 60 miles and upwards from his ordinary 
 dwelling) to have the advice of Phyficians about his wife ( a very Virtuous and 
 Religious Lady) troubled with a weak ftomack and ill digcftion , which cau^ 
 ed gi ievous fymptoms. I think he had the advice of no lefle then a dozen firft 
 andlaft : I am fiire he named unto me five or fix of thechiefefi: in Credit and 
 practice that the Town aflFordeth. Not one of them did agree in their opinions, 
 cither concerning the Caufe , or the means to be ufed for a Cure. So that the 
 Gentleman went away more unfatisfied then he came. What he did I know 
 not: I know what fome men would have inferred upon this. Yet I, for my 
 part, for the benefit that I have received by it, and the effcwts that I have fcen of

 it, both iiponmyielf, and others in my life-time, upon ieveral occafions 
 ( whcxe learned JrttJJs J not Empiricl;^ have been employed) thou^^h all the 
 world (hould be ot another opinion, I think my felf bound to honour as 
 ithe profeilioa, lo all Learned, Ingenious Profeflbrs of it: and I make no 
 <3ueftion but the vvorfl o( J^rippas objedions, by any man of competent 
 judgment and experience, may^afily beanfwered. ■ I lay therefore that as 
 in other things ot -the world, fo in matters of Spirits and Jpparitioni^ though 
 lyable to much error and impofturc, yet it doth not follow but there may 
 be reality of truth and certainty difcernable unto them that will, take the 
 pains to learch things unto the bottom, where trnth commonly is to be 
 Found, and are naturally endowed with, competent judgments to dilcern 
 between Ipecious arguments and lolidity of truth. 
 
 But this proveth nothing. No: but the removing of this common ob- 
 jedion may difpofe the Reader, I hope, to confider of what we have to 
 lay with lelfe prejudice. And that flhall be our next task,what we have to fay 
 for Spirits^ Sec. before we come to particular Objedtions. Wherein never- 
 thelefle I will be no longer then I muft at this time, becauie I fhallhavea

 ny opinion whereof queftion is made can juftly pretend to a general afTent 
 and conlent of all people, places, ages of the world, I think, nay, I know , 
 and it will be proved that this of Witches, Spirits, and Apparitions may. 
 I do not know icarce any ancient book extant of Philofopher or Hifloriari 
 (the Writings of prolelVed Epicureans excepted , of Arijlotle we fhall give 
 an account Ijyandby) but doth afford fbme pregnant relation, teftimony 
 or paifage to the confirmation of this truth. I daie fay, fhould a man 
 colled the relations and teftimonies out of feveral Authors and books (that 
 are come to our knowledge) within the compafTc of two thoufand years, 
 of Authors well accounted of, generally, and whole teflimonies (Hiftori-, 
 ans elpecially) we receive in other things ^ a man might make a book of 
 the biggeft fizeand form that ordinary books (which we call Fo//ofx) are. 
 It is true, many Authors may write one thing which may prove fallc, as 
 the famous hillory of the thenix^ perchance, or lome fuch,- but upon ex- 
 amination it will appear that thofemany take all from one or two. at the 
 moft, who firft delivered it. They add nothingin confirmation of their 
 own knowledg or experience. But hckt it is quite other wile • thole ma- 
 ny Authors that I fpeak of (^Hiftorians elpecially of feveral ages) they tell 
 
7he T'REFACE, 
 
 us different things thathapned in their own times, in divers places of the 
 world : and of many of them we may fay they were fuch as knew little of 
 former books, or ftories of other Nations but their own. Within thefc 
 200 years the world , we know, by the benefit of Navigation hath been 
 more open and known then before ^ yea, a great part of the w^orld difco- 
 vered that was not known before. I have read many books , the beft I 
 could meet with, in feveral Languages, of divers Voyages into all parts of 
 the world : 1 have converfcd with many Travellers, whom I judged fober 
 and dilcreet. I never read any book of that argument, nor yet met with 
 man that I have had the opportunity to confer with, but was able of his 
 own knowlcdgto fay fomewhat whereby my belief of thefe things might 
 be confirmed. 
 
 Now for the Epicureans (of all Philofophers the moft inconhderable in 
 matters of knowledg, as former ages have defcribed them) no man need 
 to wonder if they denycd thofe things which by the fokmn engagement of 
 their SeB. they were bound and refolved, notwithftanding any fight or fenfe, 
 experiende or evidence to the contrary , not to believe, at leaft not to 
 acknowledg. This doth clearly appear by one that may be believed 
 (though I have met with it in more) in fuch things. Luc'tan (himfelfa 
 profeft Ebicurean Athcift ) who doth commend Democritus , Epicurus and 
 Met r odor us (the moft famous or thatSed:) for their a/aactciimy yvaiAny ^ ashc 
 calls it their fixed^ (rrelwkeable ^ unconquerable refalution^ when they (aw any 
 ftranc^e thing that by others was admired as miraculous , ifthey could 
 find the caufc or give a probable guefle, well and good, if not, yet not 
 to deparc from their firft refolution, and ftill to believe and to maintain 
 that It was falfe and impofllible : It is a notable paflage, andvvhich excel- 
 lent ufe may be made of. I will therefore fet down his own words

 (befides the judgmenc of all accounted wil^and learned in former ages) I aii\ 
 convid:ed in my judgment,that (o much fblid reafon in all Arts and Sciences 
 never iflued from mortal man (known unto us by his writinfT^s) without 
 fupernatural illumination. Well: Anflotk i\oi\\ not acknowledg S/)/r/>/ , 
 he mentions them not in any place. Let it be granted : An<^ why fliould 
 it be a wonder to any man that knows the drifi and purpose of Arijlodes 
 Phylofophy ? He lived when P/^ro lived ; he had been his fellow Scho- 
 ler under Socrates , and forfome time his Scholer^ but afterwards he be- 
 came his<emulus, and plealed himfelf very much to oppofe his Dodrine ' 
 infomuch as he is cenlured by fbme Ancients for his ingratitude. The 
 truth is, flato's writings are full of Prodigies, Apparitions of Souls, pains 
 of Hell and Purgatory , Revelations of the gods, and the like. Wherein 
 he is fo bold that he is fain to excuie himfelf fbmetimes, and doth not 
 dciire that any man fhould believe him, according to the letter of his rela- 
 tions, but in groffeonly, that iomewhat was true to that effedt. Indeed 
 he hath many divme palfages, yea, whole Trcatifes , that can never be fuffi- 
 cicntly admired in their kmd; but too full of tales, for a Phylofopher, it 
 cannot be denyed. Jriflotle therefore refolved upon a quite contrary way : 
 He would meddle wirh nothingbut what had fome apparent ground in 
 I^ature. Not that he precifely denyed all other things, butbecauic he did 
 not think that it was the part of a Phylofopher to meddle with thofe things 
 that no probable realon could be given of. This doth clearly appear by 
 a Divine paflage of his, Depart, anim. /.i.e. 5. where he divides Subftances 
 in iywlilovf »} <l^6i{]ov(^ Eternal ayid Incorruptible ^ that is, in effecl, Spiritual (for 
 even Spirits that were created might be termed a>f'''"1<", that is, properly, Ibat 
 laye not their hgmning by Generation j but we will eafily grant, that the cre- 
 ation of Angels, good or bad, was not known to /in^totle : (wemay un-

 Eand Reaion.] Mortal thmgs that ive are familiarly acquainted and daily converfe

 ledg (yea though Tpe know but a<very little part) of things Divitle for their excellen-

 the comfort that we have of them [which doth makefo?ne amends) is the Certainty^ and 
 that they come witLn the compaffe of Sciences^ What could be laid more Di- 
 vinely by a man chat had nothing by revelation ? Truly, there appeareth 
 unto mc (if I may fpeak without offence and miiconffrudtion) more Di- 
 vinity in thofe words, then in fome books that pretend to nothing ell^. Add 
 to this another place of his in his Metaphyftcksj where he laith. That though 
 things fupernatural be of themfelves clear and certain, yet to us they are 
 not lo , who fee them only withOwles eyes. Can vvc fay then that ^ri- 
 ftotle denyed thofe things that he forbore to write of, becaule they were 
 ( their natures and tbeir qualities) above the knowledg of man ? Neither 
 is it abiolutely true mat Ariflotle never wrote of Spirits and Apparitions. 
 Ci«ro in his firflbook Ve Divinatione^ hathalongftory outof himof afhape 
 ®r Spirit that appeared in a dream to one Eudmnf^ (his familiar friend and

 Jli'Xindnnus hath a tlrange llory out of him, of a Magical Ring, one or two, 
 which ExcejluSj King of thePhocenfes did ule, and fore fa w things future 
 by them. It is to be to and and feen among the fragm^iits of .^''jy^v/i/^') works. 
 And that he did not deny Witches, may appear by that mention he makes 
 of them in more then one place. How much healcribed to common re- 
 port and experience, though no reafon could be given, doth appear by his 
 Preface to hisTreatife Dc Divinatione pi^r wfomia: where he propofeth the 
 cafe, how hard it is for a r.itional man to believe any thing upon seporc 
 whichhecan fee no realon for j nay ^ which ieemcth contrary to realon i 
 a-^jfor amanto foretel by dream what fhall happen in another KingJomC 
 far ott without any apparent caufe. But on the other tide, laith he, notiels 
 hardrodeny that which all men, or mofi: men, do be.ieye, to wit, that 
 there be fuch p red i»ft ions. "For to fay (his own word>) that (uch dieams 
 come from God , belldes whatelfe might be objefted (which might eallly 
 be underftoodby them that underftand his Doctrine) it is moll: unreafon- 
 able to believe th.it God would lend them to men either vitious in their

 have been oblerved to have fuch dieams oftner then better and wifer men. 
 So leaving the bull nelTe undetermined, \\°i do^h proceed to theconfideration 
 of thole Prophetick dreams, for which fome probable reafon may be given.

 ihoug'^ lyable to pears that nothing troubled him lo much ( for he repeats 
 amhouty. the objedion twice or thrice) as thatGjd fliould be thought 
 
 to favour either \vicked men or fools. I wifli no worfe Doctrine had e- 
 "ver been Printed or Preached concerning God. But ftill let it be remern- 
 bred that he knew of no Divine Word or Revelation. Yet JuLScal/ger, in 
 his Commentaries upon FJypocmtes Ve Infomnlis^ doth wonder that Aril}otle 
 fliould Ifick lo much at this^ and feems himlelf to give a realon grounded 
 in Nature. Indeed he laith lomewhat as to the cafe of fools and idiots 
 but nothing (that I remember) that reacheth to wicked men alio. Lee 
 thefe things be confidered, and let the Reader judge of how different tem- 
 per Aiijloik was from that ot" ancient or later Epicures. "This mention of 
 Jrijlotle and Tlato puts me in mind of Socrates their Mailer, Ins Familiar 
 Spirit-^ no Shape'but a Voice only, by which his life and adtions were 
 much directed. The thirg is attelied by fo many, fo grave Authors where- 
 of lome lived at the very time, others not long after, or in times notverjr 
 remcte, that I know not how ic can be queifioned by any man. Neither 
 indeed is it, that I remember, by any Heathens or Chriftians of ancient 
 times, and there have been books written of it, divers^in Greek and Latine, 
 whereot fome are yet extant. But whether it were a good Spirit orarK 
 evil, lome men have doubted, and ic is free for any man to think what 
 he pleafeth of it. For my part I ever had a Reverend opinion oi^ Socrates ,

 and do believe (if there be no impiety in it, as I hope not) that he was as 
 among Heathens in fome refped, a fore-runner of Chrift, to difpofethem 
 the better when the time fhouldcome to imbrace (and it did it efFedually) 
 the Gofpel. Many other Phylofophers, that have been of greateft fame^ 
 were certainly great Magicians, 2S Orpheus^ ^ythagorM^ Empedodes ^ and the 
 like, as by thofe things that have been written otthem by feveral ancient 
 authors may be colledcd. But above all I give the pre-eminence to Apol- 
 hnius Ihmeus ^ a man of later times ^ and of whom we may Ipeak with 
 more confidence and certainty. This was the man whom ancient Hea- 
 thens very tenacious of their former worfhip and fuperftitions , did pitch 
 upon to oppofe unto Chrift. His Life hath been written by divers four 
 of them were joyned together and oppofed to the four Golpels : and 
 Hierocksj a famous Phylofopher of thofe times, made a Collation of his 
 Miracles with thofe of Chriils , who was anfwered by Eufebms^ yet extant. 
 Sure it is, they prevailed ^o much, that he was for a long time worfhipped 
 by many, andinfundry places as a very God,- yea, by fome Roman Em- 
 perors, as we find in Hiftory. fhtlojlratus hath written his Life in very 
 Elegant ftile (as T/^ot/wj judged J in 8 books, which are extant. And 
 though they contain many fabulous things, as any man may expedt by the 
 undertaking, yet have they fo much truth and- variety of ancient learning,

 wifh that fome able man would undertake the work ; there is not any 
 book, by the Tranflations yet extant, that more needeth it. What ufc Sca- 
 llger made of him, may appear by his frequent quotations in his Notes 
 -upon EufebiHSj in the Hiftory of thole times. As for Jppollonitis his Mira- 
 cles or wonderful Ads (which is our bufinefle here) though many things 
 have been added , fome, probably, done by Impofiure , ver I uo not fee 
 how it can be doubted but hedid many ftrange things by the help of 5/7/- 
 r\u^ which things may be judged by due oblervation of circumftances . as 
 for example. That being con vented before Dowifww the Emperor in the pre* 
 fence of many, heprefently vanifhed and was leenagrcat way off (at ^ute- 
 oli I think) about the fime time. That at the very time when i)omitian 
 was killed at "l^pwe, helpakeof itpublickly and of the manner of it at E- 
 ^hefus : and fo of many others, which ieem to me (asuittomoft) almoft 
 unqueftionable. The greatefl: wonder to me is, that fiich was his port and 
 outward appearance of Sandity aud Simplicity, that even Chriftrans have 
 thought reverently of him, and believed that he did his wt)nders by the 
 power of God, orbyfecret Philofophy and knowledg of Nature not re- 
 vealed unto other men. So Jujlim Martyr ^ one of the ancient Fathers of 
 the Church judged of him, as is well known. Moft later Phylofophers 
 that lived about Julians time , and before that, as alfo the Emperors them- 
 felves, many of them , were great Magicians and ]S(ecromancers , as may

 eafily appear, partly by their own writings , and partly by the Hiitoiy of 
 thole times. 
 
 I do very much wonder whether any man , being a Scholer ^ and not 
 ftrongly prepofleiled, that doth not believe Spirits^ 6cc. can lay that he c- 
 ver read the books of Tryalsand Confeffions of Witches and Wizards, fuch 
 I mean, as have been written by learned and judicious men. Such as, for 
 example , I account NichnJ ^^cni^ins^ his DcmonQlatria : ex judiciis capitalihus 
 5^00 plus minus hormmim^ Sec. grounded eipecially upon the Confeilions and 
 Condemnations of no leffe then 900 men and women in Lorraine within 
 thecompalTe of few years. That he was a learned man, I think no body 
 will deny that hath read him ; and that he was no very credulous and luper- 
 ftitious man (though aPapift) that alfo is moft certain : and ihavewon- 
 dred at his liberty many times. I know not how it is now in thole pla- 
 ces ; but by what I have read and heard of the doings of Witches and Sor- 
 " cerers in Oem'Va and Sa^oy in former times ( I could lay fomewhat of my 
 *' ielf,how my life was prcferved there very ffcrangely , but my witnelTes are 
 *'not,and I willnot brm? their creditin queftion tor fuch afeuiincffe.) I 
 am of opinion. That he that fhould have maintained there tnac there was 
 no fuch thing as Witches, or Spirits, &c. would have been thought by 
 moft either mad and brain-fick (fo frequent and vifible were the etleds to 
 fober eyes) or a Witch himfelf. For '-.deed it is ordinary enough, that 
 thofe that are lo really, are very willing ( which deceiveth many ) to be 
 thought Impoftora , and there is good realon for it: I fliould (ooner fuf^ 
 ped: him an Impoftor that doth profeffe himfelf (except it be by way of 
 confelfion , as many have done) and is ambitious to be counted a Witch or 
 Sorcerer. I remembe** I iaw a book fome years ago, intituled, T)e I'incon- 
 Jiance des 7nauvais Anges <(sr Demons ^ printed at 'P^i/'W 1612. in ^«4?fo, and ano- 
 ther of the fame Author, and (ize, intituled, L'incredidite 6^ jyiejcnauce du for- 
 tile^e^Taris 1642. Strange il:ories are told there ot a Province of France , a- 
 bout that time (or little before) marvelloully infefted with Witches and 
 Sorcerers, inlomuch that people did not know one another ( in lome 
 one place) in theitreecs, by reafon of evil Spirits appearing publickly inthe 
 fhapcofmen; and that the proceedings ofjuftice ( which doth not hap- 
 pen.ofcen*) were fometimes difturbed by them. I think the Author him- 
 ielf was one that was lent to the place by the King with lome authority ,and 
 to make report. But as I do not altogether truil my memoiy, having had 
 but a fight of the books (it was at the Bdl in St. fauis Church-yard : ; So I 
 beleech the Reader not to reft upon this account that I give him upon my 
 beft remembrance,but to perufe the books himfelf. I am confident he may 
 receive good latisfa(5tion, being things that were not done in a corner , but 
 very publickly and well attefted as I remember. However the reader muft 
 give me leave ( though it be not to this purpoie, left my Ci- 
 v^frVr'p*^^^' lencebe drawn to the prejudice of the truth) to tell him,thac 
 I met with one gre.u fallhood there concerning my own ra- 
 ther (ofS/. M.) which I have abundantly refuted, and all others of that 
 nature, when I was yet very young. But that (as I conceive) which in all 
 tfieieftories would moftpuzzle a rational man, is the fignes which are let

 together to be neglected. But the reafons of fuch obfervations or marks 
 that are given by lomc, are lo ridiculous, that they would make a fbber

 ("and commonly enough known} by Sewmtm upon this occafion. There 
 is one, whom I think interiour to none, though perchance not Co com- 
 monly known or read, and that is fieor^ius 1{aqujaiu4 a Venetian, who by his 
 fir ft education and profeffion wasan Aftrologer, caft many Nativities, and 
 tookupon'him to Prognofticate; but afterwards confcious tohimfelfof 
 the vanity of the Art (that is, when the Divcldoth not intermeddle, as al- 
 wayes muft be underftood : for fome Aftrologers have been Magicians 
 withall, and have doneftrange things) gave it over, and hath writcen a- 
 gainli: it very Learnedly and Solidly. Read him,if you pleafe^in his Chap- 
 ters Vc Mi^is^ Ve Oracidus; yea, through his whole Book DeDtvinatme ^2Lnd 
 you maybclatisfied what he thought of thcfe things : he alfo was a Phy-

 I could fay fomewhat of ancienter Phyficianstoo, and give fome account 
 of thole many Spels and Charmes that are in Iralliems^ m all his books - 
 an ancient Phyfician , in high efteeme with lome eminent Phyficians of 
 theie lace times, as they themfelves have told me^ though not for his 
 Charms,bLir<^oi his other learning and excellent experience , which they had 
 found good ufe of But this I referve for another place & work. And this men-

 in mind of what he imparted himfelf, not long before his death, of his .

 me of theexam.inationofa Conjurer in Salisbury ^zt which,he faid^none were

 Hitherto I have gone by Authorities rather then Arguments , partly 
 becaufe I thought that the Ihorteft and the cleareft way for every bodies 
 capacity, and partly, becaufe fuch Arguments ( if any bcfides theie wc 
 have here) as have been ufed againft this opinion, may be found fully an-

 as doth not admit of many Arguments , fuch cfpecially as mav pretend to

 Knowledge is grounded) generally approved aud certain, is our beft Ar-

 tOjWho not being able to deny the a?/ ,or matter o/Ki^,wouldfcem to fay fomc- 
 what rather then to acknowledg Spirits, and Divels^and Witchcraft; <Pompo- 
 natius jWho hath not heard of ? I once had the book,I know not now what is 
 become of it.But I remember well,I never was more w^eary of reading then 
 when I read him ; nothing that ever I read or heard of j^egends and old 
 womans tales did feem to me more groundlefle and incredible. But be- 
 caufe thofc men bear themfelves very much upon the power of imagina- 
 tion (which indeed is very great, and doth produce ftrange effeds) I fhall 
 commend to the fober Reader that hath not yet met with him , Tho. Fienus 
 his Learned Tradat , Ve yiribus Imaginat'mm , a very Rational and Philofo- 
 phical difcourfe. Of their miferable fhifts and evafions in general, the 
 Author or Obicrvator rather of Muf^.umVeronenfe ^ before quoted, will give 
 you a good account. I have at this prelent in my hands the writings of 
 a Phyfician, Augerius ferrerius by name. What he was for a Phyfician I know 
 not,- all ( I doubt) of that profeffion will not allow very well of his Pre- 
 face to his Cafttgdttoncs ^raEiictt Medicbi^^ whatever they think of the Cajli- 
 gattones themfelves. But in general, his Stile, and various reading, and 
 knowledge of good Authors, fpeak him a Learned man ruflficiently, T/;»- 
 anus in his Hiftory gives him a moft ample Elogtwn^ and makes him to have 
 been Jul. C. Scaltger his intimate acquaintance and much refpeded by him. 
 But 1 doubt whether Thuams had ever feen this book of his : it doth not 
 appear by that Elogiim that he had. Well , this Learned man in his Chap- 
 ter T)e Homerica (fo he calls it) Medicatione^ where he treats of cures done by 
 Charms and Spels , by Words and Charaders, which others impute com- 
 monly to Witchcraft : firft, for the o^,, he doth not deny it : (Natn m qud 
 fsnfbus expojita jmit c<^tra'Ytmre^ Jani btminis non eft.) He thinks them little 
 better then mad men that will deny that which is approved by ^o vifiblc 
 experience. Yet it feems he was one of them that did not believe , or 
 would not believe ( though he doth not fay fo pofitively) Sinnts and Witch- 
 ts , and Supernatural Operations. What then ? he plainly maintaineth 
 and argueth it (though he quote no Gofpel for it) that luch is the nature 
 of the Soul of man (if he know how toule it) that by aftrong faith and 
 confidence it may work any miracle without a miracle: Verum confidentU 
 ilia^ acfirmaperjuajio ( that you may have fome of his words if you have 
 not the book ) comparatur mdoHls animis per opinionem quam de Qara^eribus is*

 after , VoHus vero <(sr fibi conflans folo verbo Janabit. I do not hence conclude 
 that this Ferrer ius ^ though he Ipeak as though he were, and names no body 
 clfe , that he wasthefirll or only that hath been of this opinion. jh>icenne 
 the Arab was the firff,as I take it, that fet it on foot : fome others have fol- 
 lowed him in it. Butlince theie men acknowledg the ftrange etFcCts that 
 Others deny, let the fober Reader judge whether of the two more likely td 
 grant 5pjr iff and Divels , or to make the Soul t)f man (of every man^ na- 
 turally) either a God or a Divel. But let men take heed how they attempt ta 
 do Miracles by their flrong faith and confidence , for that is the ready way 
 to bring the Divel unto them, and that is it which hath made many Witch-

 cs and Sorcerers. As for that Faith whereby men did work Miracles in 
 the Primitive times, fpoken of in the Golpel, commonly CiiUed , The. 
 Faith of Miracles , that is quite another thing , which I fliall not need to 
 {peak of in this place. Of a flrong confidence in God, even in them that 
 arc not other wile very godly, whether it may not, according to Gods firft 
 order and appointment, produce fbmetimes iome ftrange eftecls ; we have 
 had a confidcration ellcwhere , where we treat of Trccatorie Emhufeajm. But 
 this alio is quite another thing, as may appear by what we have written 
 of it. 
 
 But to conclude this part 5 upon due confidcration of the premifes, and 
 what elfe I have inreadmefle upon the fame Subjc(it Cir God give me life 
 and health) I cannot fatisfie my felf how any Learned man , fober and 
 rational, can entertain fiich an opinion (fimply and lerioully) That there 
 be no Vivds nor Spirits^ &c. But upon this account which I give my felf 
 (leaving all men to their own judgments herein) that if there beanyiuch 
 truly and really, it mull: needs be becauie being at firft prepolTeffed upon 
 fomeplaufible ground^ and being afterwards taken up with other thoughts 
 and employments, they are more* willing to ftick to their former opi- 
 nion without further trouble, then to take the pains tofeek further. 
 
 dides doth very well obferve. And when we lay, A Learned nwi^ there 
 is much ambiguity in that word. For a man may be (not to Ipeak of 
 the ignorance of the common people, in thole climates efpecially, who 
 think all Learning concluded in ^Preaching • and now in thele times 
 too , them beft Preachers that in very deed have leaft Learning , but 
 preach by /7i/?/;i^ and Injpkation ^ as they call it) but a man, I Tay, may 
 DCzLear?ud Ma}ij a very Learned man in lomeone kind or profelfidn, even 
 to Excellency and Admiration , who neverthelefie is and may be found 
 ignorant enough in other kinds : but a general Learned man is a thing of 
 a vaft extent, and not often leen. It is a bufmeffe of an infinite labour, 
 befides that it requireth Natural parts anfwerablc; without which (judg- 
 ment fpecially ) the more pains fometimes the more ignorance. I aim 
 not by this at any particular man or men (Deum tejlor) I would much rather 
 fubmitto thecenfure of others my felf, then take upon me to ccnlureany ; 
 but the obfervation is of very good ule, I know it, and may give much la- 
 tisfadion in many ca(cs,and have given an inftance of it in Tertullia?ija.nd fomc 
 others ellcwhere. 
 
 I have done for this time; I come now to the Objections, wherein I fliall 
 not need to be very long, becaufethey run much upon one thmg,Impofturc, 
 which hath already been fpoken of andanfwered. But yet fomewhat more 
 particularly fhal be anfwered. 
 
 Firft, O^ Miracles. It cannot be dcnyed but the world is full of horrible 
 Impoftures in that particular : Yet I believe , that fom.e fijpernatural 
 things , as cures , &c. do happen in every age , for which no rea- 
 fon can be given , which alio for the ftrangenefl'e may be called Mi- 
 racles. But if we limit (with moft) the word to thofe things that 
 proceed immediately from God or divine power ; I fhall not be

 I will not further argue the Cal.e in this place. Well, let us z^ko. Miradei 
 in the ordinary Senfe : I v^'-'^y b^I^^'e that many fuch things do happen 
 in many places J but that through negligence partly, and partly throuoK 
 incredulity , they are not regarded ohentimes, or. loon forgotten. And 
 wifermen, fometimes, though they know or believe fuch thin-^^s v^c ^ixc 
 not they very torward to tell them, left they bring themlelves into con- 
 tempt with ihorcfuppoled wile men, who will Iboner laugh at any thing 
 they do not underftand , then cake the pains to redifie' their ianorance or 
 inform their judgments. 1 hope I fhall do no wrong to the Memory of 
 that Venerable , Incomparable Prelate , B i s h o p A n d r e w e s for 
 Sound Learning and True Piety whileft he lived, one of the greatcft Lights 
 of this Land; if I fet down two Stories, which we may call Mitades 
 both which he -""^ belir"! to be true, but for one of them, it feemes he 
 did undertake upon his own knowledge : The one, concerning a njjki , 
 or at leaft by many lufpeded Witch or Sorcerefs, which theDivel,in a ft^ge 
 iliape, did wait i<po?i (or for rather) at her death. The other, concerniu'^a 
 man , who after his death was reftored to life to make Confeilionof a 
 horrible Murder committed upon his own Wife, for which he had never 
 been fufpc^ted -, bcth thefe, as he related them to my F. (in familiar con- 
 vcrlation) and my F. did enter them for a remebrance into fomc of his 
 Mverfam. In the fubftance I believe there could be no miftake, but if there 
 be any miftake in any Circumfl:ances,as ofNames,or othcrwife , that muft be 
 imputed to my F who was aftranger, not to the tongue only , but to all

 There is no necefficy that any body fliould make of either of thefe re- 
 lations an Article of his Faith ; yet I thought them very probable,becaule 
 believed by fucha man, and therefore have given then\a place here. So 
 much of Miracles. 
 
 Of Exorcijmes we mull fay as of Miracles. One notable example of a 
 counterfeit Polfeffion, and of great ftirs likely to have inllied u^on it in 
 France^ we have out of Thuanm^ in our late Treatife of Enthuflajme. The Hi- 
 flory of the Boy of 'Bilfon is extant ^ who by the Wiiclom and Sagacity of the 
 R' R' F. in GodThomaSy Lord Bifliop of Lichfield and (jventry ^ wasdifco- 
 vered to be an Impoftor on purpofe let up and fuborned to promote the Ro- 
 miili caufe, An. Vom. 1620. Such examples and ftories moft Countries have 
 afforded good ftore, which arc extant in divers Languages. Neither muft 
 it be concealed (by them that leek truth without partiality) that lome, once 
 called VifciplinarianSj now more known by another name, have attempted 
 to deal in thoie things, hoping thereby to gain great advantage to their 
 caufe. It was a famous Story in Q^Eli:^abeth's Reign, though now per- 
 chance out of the knowledg of many, and beyond the remembrance of any 
 living, how one Mr. D. a very -zealous man of that Se<5t, did take upon 
 him by long prayers to call out Divels . '^ .xuintained and ailerted with 
 great veh^ncncy by him and fbme others that favoured that caufe, though 
 upon legal examination they proved otherwile , which occafioned many 
 books on both fides in thofe day es, but two, meliorismta ^ as we fay, writ- 
 ten by Dr. H. concerning Exorcifnes ■ the one againft Papifts, the other a- 
 gainft QP. I have them both fomewhere yet, I hope, but can not come at 
 
 them' 
 
The T'F^EFJCE, 
 
 them at this time, which is the caufe that I cannot particularize that bu- 
 iineflewith circuraftances of times, and names or perft)nsas I would. But 
 there were many other books written (fomevery big, which I havefeen ) 
 about it , as I laid betore j fo that the whole bufinefle , with very little in- 
 quifition, if any have a mind, may quickly be found out. One Book- 
 feller in Little Sr/fJzVi did help mc to the fight of fix or leven at once, yet 
 one of the books then written, and as I was told, upon this occafion much 
 commended unto mc by Ibme very Learned, to wit, Dr. Jordan^ of the 
 Sujfocation of the Matrix^ I long fought before I could meet with it. And 
 fuch was the ignorance of iome Booklellers, that I could not perfwade them 
 ■there was any fuch book extant: but now at laft I have got it. All the 
 ule I fhall make ot it at this time is» that whereas the whole drift of the book 
 tends unto this, tofllew the error of many in alcribing natural difeales to 
 fupernatural caules , which might bethought by (bme to favour their o- 
 pinion that believe not Wttches^ Sec. The Author doth very prudently and 
 pioufly make this profe/Tion inthe Preface, I ilo not deny but that God doth in 
 thefe dayes work extraordinarily for the deliy^erance of his children^ and for other ends 
 kji hiioivn to him/elf ; atui that among other there may be both poffefsions by the DiVel^ 
 and ohfejiions^ and Witch-craft, &c. and dfpoJJ'efsion alfo through the Prayers and Slip- 
 plications of his jeryants^ which is the only }?ieans left unto us for our relief in that cafe^ 
 hut fuch examples being<ver-f rare now adayes. Sec. V^rf^r all this I do not con- 
 clude that Mr. D. was guilty of any Impofturc : he might do it through 
 ignorance being cozened by others. I have heard he was anhoneft man, 
 and dyed pioully , and dilclaimed to the very laft that he did any thing in 
 that buimelTe otherwiie then Bona Fide. I would judge charitably, even 
 of thoie men that ate not guilty of much charity towards others, whofe 
 judgments and conlciences will not fufFer them (though men of approv- 
 ed worth and piety otherwiie) to lay as they lay, and to do as they do in 
 all things. Be it granted therefore, that this bufinefle of Exorcifmes is ly- 
 abletomuch Impollure : however, no man that hath read the relations 
 of men and women pofleft, in leveral places, with due obfervation of cir- 
 cumftances , iome of which relations, befides other perlons of credit, have 
 been atteiled j^ yea, Ibme penned and publifhed by learned Phyficiansand 
 Naturalifts, who have been employed about the Cure, fiblerved their car- 
 riage, heard fome of them fpeak ftrange Languages : lilly women pofleft, 
 dilcourlc of highcft points of Phyloibphy, or the Mathematicks and the 
 like. No man, I lay, that is not a ftranger to thele things (befides what 
 fome Travellers, no way interefledin the caufe, can aver upon their own 
 knowledge) will make any queftion either of the real poflcffion of divers, 
 accordmg to relations that have been made, or of the Divels (peaking in 
 them and by them when they have been Exorciledj and iometimes upon 
 bare conference. And though feme Proteftants are of.opmion, That it is 
 not lawful or warrantable for any man to take upon him to Exorciie upon 
 fuch occafions, that is, (as I conceive) by way of abiblute power and au- 
 thority ,. and by luperftitious wayes and means, as is ordinarily done : 
 Yet where a man hath a Calling, as it he be lawfully Called to the Mini- 
 ftry^ and fee over fuch a Par ifh where any happen to be poifefled (as in-

 In En^lifh (for their fakes that unierftmd no Latine, and that it be

 At iuchatime, in inch a place, hehadcheopporcunicy to meet with a grave

 on oFj her nam? M.deSt.Tons^ and having often heard by common re- 
 port of a certain Proteftant Miniffer that was faid to caft out Divels, he 
 did accurately inform himfelf by her (fhe living, it feems, very near, if. 
 not in the lame parifh ) of all particulars concerning that bufincfTc; 
 who did averre it to be moft true , and that ten , or thereabouts, Demo- 
 moniacks, or pofTelTcd men (all making profelnon of tlie Roman Catho- 
 lick Religion) had been brought to the Church ("atfeveral times, as I take 
 it) and that publickly, and by the genetall conlefsion of all then pie- 
 fenc, and by lome. nocable fignes (Ibmctimes; at the going out of the 
 De\i!s- they were , upon his Praying after Sermon, all delivered. But 
 that he took it very hainoufly if any faid, that he had caft out Devils ; for, 
 not I, faid he, but the earneft Prayers of the Church, have prevailed with 
 Almighty God to work this wonderful thing. 
 
 As for Oracles : It is true, Heathens themfelves acknowledg, that fome

The T%EFACE. 
 
 were the JLigglings of men. Sometimes Princes j ibractimcs private men : 
 (as now of Religion, of Preaching, and Praying, and Fading j of MaflTes 
 and ProceiTions : moft Princes and States in all places ) made good ufe of 
 them to their owneends j and made them ipeak what themfelves had prom- 
 pted. But a man might as probably argue 3 becaufe fome have been fo frec- 
 Jy acknowledged to have been by compad: aad fiibornation, it is the more 
 .likely, that thofe of which never any fufpicion was, fhould be true. Wc 
 read of many in Herodotus: of one, which was contrived by fraud j but 
 there we read aUo, that when it came to be known (though care had been 
 taken that irmight not :) the chief Contriver, agrcatinan, wasbanifhed^or 
 prevented worfe, by avoluntaty Exile ; and the Sacred yir^m or ^Trophetejfe^ 
 .depofed. But not to infill upon particulars, which would be long, it is 
 
 ' moft certain, and it will cleerly appear unto them that are well read in anci- 
 ent Authors and Hiftories, That^llHeathens^generally the wifeft: andlearn- 
 edeft of them, thole efpecially, that lived when Oracles were moft- frequent, 
 
 ' did really believe them to be, which they pretended unto : and that they 
 •were fo indeed, for the moft: part (taking it for granted that their Gods were 
 ^tVf/ior BytlSpirits) by many circumitancesof Stories, and by other lood 
 proofs, may be made as evident : neither was it ever doubted or denyed (al- 
 waycs granted and prefuppofed, that, as in all worldly things, much impo- 
 fture did intervene and intermingle) by ancient Chriftians acknowledged, I 
 am lure, by moft, if not all. But I have fpokcn of them elfewhere already, 
 and therefore will be the fliorter here. 
 
 Ouilaft Ohje^ion was : If there be VeVils a.nd Spirits j'^hy do they not ap- 
 pear unto them, who do what they can, as by continual curfes/o by profane 
 curiofity to invite them ? Firft, We fay, «r6^e?<iVi(']« ra' xe4ta.7<t *ut». 1^ dvi^ixvi*Toi dt 
 WeiituVj. When we have good ground for the on ^ to ftick at the Mn^ be- 
 caufe we do not underftand the reafon, is as much as to fay, that we think 
 we fhould be as wile as God- Arijlotle did not meddle with things that he 
 could give no reaion of j yet he did not deny them (as we have fhewed^ 
 and it is one thing to require a reafon of things meerly natural j and another 
 of thofe that happen by a meer fecrct Providence. But this will give them 
 no great latisfa(f^ion who perchance believe a God (fome) as much as they 
 believe a Devil.. Secondly^ Therefore we Tay, There maybe fome natural rea- 
 fon too, upon /i'r(/?or/a grounds, ^ri^otk (as hath been fhewed elfewhere)

 with little wine will quickly be drunk, and become other Creatures, being

 ver lo much, will fooner burft then reel, or fpeak idly . as fome in their 
 excefs grow merry, others fad : fome calm and better natured ^ others furi- 
 ous : Ibme talkative, others ftupid. The Devil knowes what tempers are 
 beftfor his turn J and by Ibme in whom he was deceived, he hath got no 
 crtdit,and wifhcd he had never meddled with them. Some men come into 
 the world with C^/'d///?/^^/ drains; their heads are full of myfteries ,• they fee 
 nothing, they read nothing, but their brain is on work to pick fbmewhat 
 out of It that is not ordinary,- and out ofthe very A'B C that children are 
 taught, rather then fail, they will fetch all the Secrets of Gods Wifdom, tell 
 
 you 
 
The T\SFJCE. 
 
 you how the world was created, how governed, and wha: will be the end of 
 all things. Reafonand Senfe that other men go by, they think the acorns 
 that the'old world fed upon j fools and children may be content with them 
 but they fee into things by another Li^k. They commonly give good re- 
 ifpedt unto the Scriptures (till they come to profeft Anab^ptijis) becaufe they 
 believe them the Word df God and not of men ; but they referve unto them- 
 felves the Interpretation, and founder the title of Dmw Scripture^ worfhip 
 what their own phanfie prompts, or the devil puts into their heads. Buc 
 of all Scriptures the Q^evelation and the obfcure Prophefies are their delight^ 
 for there they rove fecurely j and there is liot any thing fo prodigious or chi- 
 merical, but they can fetch it out of fome Prophefie, as they will mterpret it. 
 Thefe men, if they be upright in their lives and dealings, and fear God tru- 
 ly, it is to be hoped that God will preferve them from further evil ; but they 
 areofa dangerous temper- Charitable men will picythern, and Ibbcrraea 
 will avoid them. On the other fide, fome there are whofe brains are of a 
 flirfand reftive mould ; it will not eafily receive new impre/Iions.They will 
 hardly believe any thing but what they fee ; and yet rather not believe their 
 eye* then to believe any thing that is not according to thecourleof nature, 
 and what they have been ufed unto. The devil may tempt fuch by fenfual 
 baits, and catch them • but he will not eaiily attempt to delude them by ma- 
 cical Shews and Apparitions. An^ wh^'-^nber man, that believeth as a God, 
 fo a di vel,doih doubt,but they that make it their daily pradice to damn them- 
 felves,by fuch horrid oaths and curfes,are as really pofleft,yea far more in the 
 po{feis:on of the devii,thea many thattoam at the mouth, and fpcak flrange 
 languages ? 
 
 But j'"^ Some have tried and ufed the means,but could never lee any thing 
 but what if others that never defired it really, but in fome wanton curiofity, 
 unadviiedly, that they might be the better able to coni-urethe iimpHcity of 
 fome others as they thoughr,rather then that their faith wanted any fuch con- 
 firmation , have tryed fome things,or have been prefent at fome experiments 
 and have feen ( with no fmall aftonifhment) more then they expeded or dc^ 
 'fired ? Some perfons of credit and quality, I am fure, have made it their con- 
 fefsion unto me,thac it hath fo h.^pned unto them ; who have been fo alFcdted 
 with it,that they Would noti'or a world be fo furprized again. 
 
 But4'y and laflly, TheConfefsionsoflome Magicians are extant in print, 
 who tell very particularly what means they ufed , what books they read, &c. 
 and they Gw and found (if we believe them ,• and what fliould tempt them 
 to lye, no melancholy men, I know not) till they were weary ,and Gods grace 
 wroughtupon their hearts to bring them to repentance. There be fuch confef- 
 fions extant,but the Readei flial pardon me,if I give him no further account. 
 It would much better becom them therefore,that have made fuch effays with- 
 out fucceffe, to repent, and to be thankful unto God.then to make that an ar- 
 gument, that theres no divel, and perchance no God. There is a terrible fay- 
 incJ (if well underffood) in the Sctipturc ; 'opv^«?p(/WT«^ He that is filthy let him 
 he filthy Jltll Let them take heed (I advife them as a friend) if they perfift in 
 their hardnefs of heart and infidelity^ left God in juft judgment,r.houglichcy

7 he T%E\¥ ACE, 
 
 I Come now to Dr. D e e, and. to fhU ^ook of his, which hath been 
 the occafion of all the Dilcourfe hitherto. As for his Perlon or Pa- 
 rentage , Education and the like, I have but little tp lay more then 
 what he faith himfelf in his firft Letter to the Emperor (Rodolphe) of 
 Oerinanyj that being yet very young he was fought unto {amb'ii^eruni me) by 
 two Emperors , CHARLsthe 5''' and Ferdinando his Brother and Sue-* 
 cefifor in the Empire. Mr. Cambden indeed in the year 1571 makes honou- 
 rable mention of him, and calls him, Nobilis Matfmmtkus. He dedicated 
 \ his Mwj^f Hierog/jip/^/c^ to Maximilian Succeffor to Ferdinando firft 
 printed at Jntwerp^ Jn.Dom.i^6^^ and afterwards at Francford^ <59«» and 
 what other places 1 know not. In the year 1595. he did write (and was 
 printed 1599 I am fure,but whether before that or no, I cannot certainly 
 tell) J dijcourfe Jpologetical^ &cc. dire<aed to the then JnhbiJJjop of Canterbury 
 wherein he hath a Catalogue of books written by himfelf, printed and un- 
 printed, to the number of 48. in all , and doth alfb mention the books of 
 .his Library about 4000 volums in all , whereof yco ancient Manufcripts 
 Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. There alfo doth he produce a Teftimony of the 
 Univerfity of Qambndg^ dated 1 548. But this whole Difcourfeof his being 
 butfhort, for the better latisfa(5tion of the Reader, I thought good to have it 
 here reprinted the next after this Preface. His Mathematical Preface before 
 Euclid^ is that I think which of all his writings publifhed hath been moft 
 taken notice of in Englatid^ and added much to the worth and commendati- 
 on of that Edition of Eudtd, He was a married man and had divers children 
 as will appear by this Relation ; a great Traveller , and lived to a great age. 
 But as I laid before, I do not pretend to give an account of his life in gene- 
 ral, unto others, which my felf am yet aftrangerto. What concerneth 
 this %eUtim I am to giVe an account , and I hope there fhall be nothing 
 wanting to that. Four things I propole to my (elf to that end 
 
 hrji , Somewhat to confirm the truth and fincerity of this whole %e- 
 lati m. 
 
 , Secondly ^ To anfwer fomc Objections that may be -made againll (bmc 
 parts of it. 
 
 Thirdly J To give fome light to fome places, and tofatisfie the Reader con- 
 cerning the perfection and imperfection of the book , as alfb , concerning 
 the Original Copy. 
 
 Fourthly^ and laftly, To fhew the many good- ufes that may be made of all 
 by a fober Chriflian. 
 
 L It fcems that Dr. Df? began to have the reputation of a Qonjurer be- 
 times. He doth very grievoufly complain of ii in that fp^^/^cf to Euclid 
 but novv fpokcn of , about the end of it , and yet there doth alfb 
 term himfelf, An aid forworn Mathematician. For my part w^hether 
 he could ever truly be fo called, I yet make fome queftion : But I am 
 very confident, that himfelf did not know or think himfelf fo , but 
 a zealous worfliipper of God , and a very free and fincere Chriitian.

 whence this is pretended to be taken , is fufficienc (with civil undcr^ 
 tending nien ) to prevent the groflenefle of fuch a miftake. Befides 
 thf GrKrinal Copy it fclf , all written with Dr. Dm own harid, there 
 kept and preferved. But by Truth and Sincerity, intending not only Dr. 
 7)ce's fidelity in relating what himfelf believed , but alio the reality of 
 thofe things that he fpeaks of, according to his relation : his only (but 
 areat and dreadful) error being, that he miftook falfe lying Spirits for 
 ATjgelsof Light , the Diyelof Hell (as we commonly term him) for the 
 God of Heaven. For the Truth then, and Sincerity or 'Reality of the Ela- 
 tion in this fenfe, I fhall firft appeal to the Book it felf. I knoW it is 
 the fafliionof many (I will not fay that (I never did it my felf) that arc 
 birers of* books, they will turn five or fix leaves, if they happen up- 
 on lomewhat that pleafeth their fancy , the book is a good book , and 
 when they have bought it, it concerneth them to think fo, becaufe they have 
 paid for it : but on the other fide, if they light upon fomcwhat that doth 
 not pleafe (which may happen in the beft) they are as ready to condemn 
 and c^ftaway. It is vpry polfible that fome fijch buyer lighting upon this , 
 and in it, upon fome places here and there, where fome odd uncouth things 
 may cffeV themfelves ; things ridiculous, incredible to ordinary fen/e and 
 conik!i6tion,he may be teady to judge of the whole accordingly. But for all 
 this 1 will in the firft place appeal to the book it felf,- but with this refpe^ to 
 the Reader , that he will have patience to read in order one Fourth part of the 
 book at leaft before he judge ; and if by that tinie he be not conviaed^he fhall 
 have my good will to give it over. Not but that all the reft, even to the end, 
 doth help very well to "confirm the truth and reality of the whole Story : 
 but becaufe 1 chink there is fo much in any fourth part, if diligently read^and 
 with due confidcration, that I defpair of his aflent,that is not convidied by- 
 it. For my part,when the book was firft communicated un-

 very name , Sit1{ol)ert Cotton, known to all the Learned as far as Eu^ 
 rope extendeth. I read it curforily becaufe I was quickly convinced iti 
 my felf that it could be no counterfeit immaginarie bufineflc , and was 
 very defirous to fee the end , fo far as the book did go- Afterwards , 
 when lunderftoodthatthe faid worthy Gentleman (efpecially, as I fuppolc,

The T\SF ACE, 
 
 mitccd the whole biirinefs unco me ; I rcid it over very cxadly , and took 
 notes of the moft remarkable paflages (as they appeared unto me) truly 
 I was fo much confirmed in this firft opinion by my lecond reading, that- 
 I fhall not be afraid to profefs that I never gave mo^r credit to any Hu- 
 mane Hiftory of former times. All thmgs feer.ied unto me fo fimply , 
 and yet fo ate '-'•rely , ' and with fo much confirmation of all manner 
 of circumftances written and delivered , that I cannot yet fatisfie my felf, 
 but all judicious Readers will be of my opinion. But neverthelcls, to 
 help them that trufV not much to their own judgments , let us fee what 
 
 Fir(i I would have them., that would be further fatisfied, to read Dr. 
 'Dam that forecited Preface, where he doth plead his own caufe, to acquit 
 himfclf of chat grievous crime and imputation of a Qonjurer. But that was 
 written I mull confefs, long before his Communication with Spirits: 
 yet it isfomewhacto know what opinion he had then of them that deal 
 witk Divels and evil Spirits. But after he was made acquainted, and in 
 great dealing's with them, and had in readincfs divers of chcfchis books, 
 or others o? the fame Argument, containing their ieveral conferences 
 and communications, to rhew, and the manner of their -appearing cxadlly 
 fct down • obferve, I pray, with what confidence he did addrefs himfelf 
 to the areateft and wileft in Europe. To Queen Elizabeth often , and to 
 her Council, as by many places of this Relation doth appear ; but more 
 particularly by his Letter to Sir Frmcis Walfingham^ Secretary, &c. That 
 he did the like to Kins; >»JeJ and his Councel, may eafily be gathered by 
 the Records (in this %eUtm) of 1607. but much defedive. But then to 
 the Emperor <2^o^o/p/.^e , to5ff/>^e«K.lngof foUnd^ and divers other Princes 
 and their Deputies • thewifeft and learnedft, their fcveral Courts did af- 
 ford for the time : the particulars of all which addreffes and tranfadions 
 are ver- exadly fct- down in the book. Nay, fuch was his confidence, that 
 had it not been for the Kuncuts Aj^aflolim his appearing againft him at the 
 Emperors Court by order from the Pope, he was, as by fomc places may 
 becolledcd, rcfolved for 5(o;ne alfo , not doubting but he fliould approve 
 himfelf and his doings to the Pope himfelf and his Cardinals. I- i^W thefc 
 his addrelTes and applications being ftill very ready to impart all things 
 unto them that would entertain them with that refped he thought they 
 deferred, yea readily, w^'-l". i^ very obfervable, even to receive them into 
 this Myliical Society, whom he thought worthy, and in fomc capacity to 
 promote the defign 5 as de faBo he did divers in feveral places : AlbertusA^ 
 iafco Prince Palatine of ^olonia^ fuccius a learned man, and Prince 'Xpfem- 
 lenm Gewuny ^ who were long of the Society , befides fome admitted to 
 fome Adions for a while , asSt^i^^wKing of fdani^ and lome others. Wc 
 will eafily ^rant (as elfewhere hath been treated and handled at large) that a 
 diftempered brain may fee, yea, and hear ftrange things, and entertain them 
 with all pofiible confidence, as real things , and yet ail but lancy, without 
 any realfound or Apparition. But thefcfightsand Apparitions that Dr. Vee 
 gives here an account, are quite of another nature ; yea, though poflibly the 
 Divcl misht reprefent divers of thefe things to the fancy mwardly

 wayes j and externally audible to different perfons, for the mort: part or very 
 frequently. That thele things could not be the operation . of ^ diflem- 
 pered Fancy , will beafufficient evidence to any rational man. ,, .. . , 
 
 Aeain, let h'" afual preparations and Prayers againft an Apparition or 
 Adion (as he called them) his extraordinary prayers upon iome extra- 
 ordinary occafions , as upon Edward ^liey his temporary repentance, and 
 another for him when he was about to forfake him (in Latins a long one; 
 Stephen King of foland being thenprelcnt. And again, when his Son A- 
 thur was to be initiated to thefe Myftical Operations and Apparitions, mthe

 Patience (O what pity that fuch a man fliould fall into fuch a dclufion ! 
 butwe fhallconfider of the caufes in its right place afterwards) upon all 
 occafions temptations , diftrefles , moft eminent thioughout the whole 
 Book. Let thefe things be well confidered , and above the refl:, his large 
 and pundual relation of that fad abominable ftory of their Tromijaious ^ car- 
 mi CopuUtm, under the pretence of obedience to God. • Let thefe things, 
 
 I fay be well confidered, and 1 think no man will make any queftion but 
 the poor man did deal with all pofTible fimplicity and fincerity , to the ut- 
 raoitof his underftanding at that time. And truly, this one thing (aswc 
 faid before) excepted , his miftaking of evil Spirits for good, it doth not 
 appear by any thing but that he had his underftanding, and the perfe^c 
 uCe of his Rcafon to the very laft, as well as he had had any time of his 
 
 life. 
 
 Again, let it be confidered, that hecarryed with him where eVer he went 
 
 A Stone which he called hh Jn^dicall Sione., as brought unto him hy an Ah- 
 
 oel but by a Spirit fun enough , which he fihewed unto many ; to the Emperor 
 
 among others, or the Emperors Deputy , Dr. C«''fi", as I remember : But more 
 
 of this Stotie afterwards. We may thereiore conclude fi.irely enough , Thac

 thoic things ^^ . ^ 
 
 miftaken as though I intended that w^hatfoever the Diveldid fcem to do 
 or reprelcnt ; it was ^ally and Subflantially as it Teemed and appeared , thac 
 would be a great and grofs miftake. The very word Jpparition doth rather 
 import the contrary. All I underiiand by 'Sjalicy, is, that what things ap- 
 peared , they did fo appear by the power and operation of Spirits, adually 
 prefcnt and working , and were not the eflFeds of a depraved fancy and 
 imagination by meer natural caufes. By which, ilrange things, I con fels, 
 may be prefcnted and apprehended too, (ometimes by the parties with all 
 confidence , as we faid before, though all be but fancy and imagination. 
 But all circumftances well confidered, make this Cafe here to be ot another 
 nature ^ and it may be it was the policy of thefe Spirits to joyn tipo of 
 purpofe in this bufinefs, to make the truth and reality of it the more un-

 they would have made of it. Fro-, ielle beginnings , I am fure, great- 
 eft confufions have proceeded and prevailed in the world, as we fhall fliew 
 elfewhere. And fince that in all this bufinefs, as we faid but now , Dr. 
 "Dee did not deal alone , but had a conftant Partner or Afsilfant, whom 
 fometimes himfelf calleth his Seer^ ot Skryer^ one by name Edward i\elly ; it 
 will be requifite before we proceed further, that we give fome account of 
 him alio. According to Dr. Dee's own relation here, I^?i.2)ow. i^Sj.Jprilj^ 
 Trebonit : in the particulars of his Son Arthur's Con[ecra(ion (after his manner 
 which he calls, Hn ojf eying and prefentirig of him to the fervice of God: ) Uriel 
 (one of his chiefeft Spirits) was the author of their ConjunBion: but when 
 and howithapned (being but obiter mentioned there) we do not find any 
 where ; and more then what I find here I have nothing to fay : For certain 
 it is by this whole ftory ^ from the beginning to the end of it, that ^lley 
 was a great Conjurer , one that daily converfed by fiich art as is uled by 
 ordinary Vlagicians, with evil Spirits, and knew them to be Co. Yet I 
 would luppole that he was one of the beft lort of Magicians , that dealt 
 with Spirits by a kind of Cow?/M«J (^as is well known (ome do} and not by 
 any QompaEl or agreement :^ this may probably be gathered from fimdry 
 places. But that he was a Conjurer, appearereth firft by that, where he 
 profFered to raife fome evil Spirit before the PoliiTi Prince Palatine , Albert 
 X^sky (of whom more by and by) for a proof of his Art. But D^.Dee 
 Would notfiifFerhim to do it in his houie. Wicked fpirits are caft out of 
 him to the number of 1 5 . p. 5 2 . But I make no great matter of that in point 
 of proof, becaulc all there upon his bare report only. But ieej).6^. &c. 
 where it is laid to his charge, and he anfwereth for himfelf and his Spirits. 
 See alio where at laft he yielded to bury not to burn his Magical books. 
 But read his own confefsion (where you fhall find him Ipeak likeonethat 
 knew very well what did belong to thcArt^ and the record made by Dr. 
 Dee concerning a flirewd conteit that hapned between Dr. Dee and him ,

 But of all Letters here exhibited, I am moft taken, I muftconfefs, with 
 the Bifliops Letter that was 2>luncm JpoJloHcus : he feemes to rac to fpeak 
 tothecaie very pertinently {tzkc 'Puccius his account along m his long 
 letter to Dr. Dee^ of his conference with the faid Bifliop concerning the 
 lame bulinefsjand to havecarryed himfelf towards Dr^Vee very moderate- 
 ly and friendly. 
 
 1 1. Now to Objedions : 
 
 The firfl: fhall be this : Although 'tis very probable that Dr. Dee him- 
 felf dealt fimply and lincerely ^ yet iince he himfelf faw nothing (for lb 
 himfelf acknowledgeth in fome places) but by Ks^Iefs eyes, and heard no- 
 thing but with his ears. Is it not pofsible that Bailey being a cun- 
 ning^ man , and well pradtifed in tliefe thir;gs might impofe upon the 
 credulity of Dr. Dee ( a good innocent man ) and the rather, becaufe by 
 this office under the Dodor he got 50 /. by the year , as appearcth. Truly 
 this isplaufibleas it is propofed ; and Hkc enough that it might go a great 
 way with them that ate foon taken, and therefore feldom lee anything in 
 the truth or true nature of it, but in the outward appearanceof it only. 
 But read and obferve it diligently and you will find it far otherwife : It is 
 true indeed, that ordinarily. Dr. Dfg faw not himfelf; his bufinefswas to 
 write what was feen (but in his prefence though) and heard by %%. 
 Yet that himfelf heard often immediately appeareth by many places ; I lliall 
 not need any quotations for that himfelf feeleth as.well as ^elley. In the 
 relation of the Holj Stone , how takcfj away by one that came in at a win- 
 dow in the fhape of a man , and how reftored ■ both Jaw certainly. In the 
 ftory of the Holy ^oohj how burned and how reftored again (part of them at 
 leaft) which Dr D^e made a great Miracle of, as appeareth by lomeofthofc 
 places J there alfo both faw certainly^ And Jlben Lasky^ tU Tolonian Talatine 
 pw as 'well as l\ellcy, Befides, it doth clearly appciir throughout all the 
 book that Kelley (though fometimes with much adoe perfwaded for a while 
 to think better of them) had generally no other opinion of thefe Appa- 
 litions but that they were meet illuiions of theDivel and evil Spirits, fuch 
 as himfelf could command by his art when he lifted , and was acquainted 
 with , infomuch that we find him for this very caufc forfaking , or defirous 
 to forfake Dr. T)ee^ who was much troubled about it; and is forced in a 
 place to (P.w/i A^ Som/ unto him (to ufe his own words) that it was not io, 
 andt^at they were good Spirits fent from God in great ravourunto them. 
 But fofall this Kelley would notbefatisfied, but would have his Declarati- 
 on or Proteftation of his fufpition to the contrary entred into the book . 
 which you fhall find, and it wiU be worth your reading. I could further 
 
 al- 
 
The T\SF ACE, 
 
 allcdge, that if- a man conlideis the things delivered here upon fcveral occa- 
 iions, being of a different nature, (bme Moral, (omePhyfical, fome Me- 
 taphylical, and Theological of higheft points (though romecimcs wild e- 
 nough, and not warr^ ntable j yet for the mod part very remote from vulgar 
 capacities} he will not eafily believe that i\eiley^ who fcarce underftood La- 
 tine) not to fpeak of fome things deliverer! \^^ Jreek in lome places > and be- 
 tookhimfcif to theftudy of Logick long after he had entred himfelf into 
 this couric , could utter fuch things : no, nor any man living perchance, 
 that had not made it his ftudy all his life-time. But that which muft needs 
 end this quarrel (if any man will be pertinacious) and put all things out of 
 doubt, is, that not I'\clley only ferved in this place of Seer or Skrye/\ but o- 
 thers alfb , as his fon Arthur^ and in his latter dayes, when t\(lley was cither 
 gone or lltk, one "BartholomeTi^j as will be found in all the Jfliom a.nd Ap- 
 paritions of che year 1607. which (as I fulped-) was thelaft year of theDo- 
 dbors life, or beyond which I think he did not live long. 
 
 Secondly^ It may be objed:cd , or ftuck at Icaft, How Dr. Dee^ fb good Co 
 innocent, yea, fo pious a man, and fo fin cere a Chriftian as by thefc pa- 
 pers fhis delufion and the efFcd:s of it ftill excepted) he doth feem to have 
 been , God would permit fuch a one to be To deluded and abufed , io rackt

 frequent, carnefl;, zealous prayers and addrclfe^ unto God, by evil Spirits 
 (even to his dying day, for ought we know) as he is hnrt hy his ownrela* 
 tion (ct out unto us ? Truly, if a man fiiail coniider the whole carriage 
 of this bufineflc, from the beginning to the end, according tj this true and 
 faithful (for I think I may lb Ipeak with confidence) account of it here 
 prcfented unto us , this poor man, how from time to time fhamefully , 
 giofly delayed, deluded, quarrelled without caufc, ffill toled on with fome 
 fhetfvs and appearances, and yet ftill fruftrated and put off: his many- 
 pangs and agonies about it, his fad condition after lomany years toil, tra- 
 vel , drudgery and earneftexpedation, attheverylaft (as appeireth by the 
 AtliQus and apparitions of the year 1607.) I cannot tell whether?I Oiould make 
 him an objed; ot more horror or compaffion ,- but of both certainly in a 
 great meaflue to any man that hath any fenfe of Humanity, and in the ex- 
 amples of others of humane frailty : and again, any regard of parrsand 
 
 worth, fuch as were in this man in a hii^h decree. True it is, that he had 
 
 111/" « 
 
 yo)i«i wi thai and comforts, imaginary ,delufory , it is true; yet fuch as he en- 
 joyed and kept up his heart, and made him outwardly chearf ul often times , 
 I make noqueifion ; luchasthe Saints (as they call themfelves ) and Schtf- 
 matich of thefe and former times have ever been very prone to boaft of, per- 
 fwading themlelves that they are the ejfeHs of Gods blelTed Spirit. B ut even 
 inthele his joys and comforts, the fruits and fancies of his deluded foul (as 
 m many othersof adiftcmperedbrain) is not he an objed: of great compaf- 
 paflion to any, both fober and charitable ? If this then were his cafe indeed, 
 what fliall u'e fay ? if nothing elle, I know not but it ought to latisfie a 
 rational, iober, humble man: If we fay, That it is not in man to give an 
 account of all Gods judgments, neither is there any ground for us tomur- 
 mute becauiewedonotundcrftandthemjOrthat they often iecm contrary

 to the judgment of humane reafbn, becaufe it is againft all Reafon as well as 
 Religion, to believe that a creature fo much inferior to God,by nature as man 
 is fhould lee every thing as he ieeth,and think as he thinks j and confequent- 
 ly'judgeand determine inandof all things as God judgeth and determineth. 
 The Apoftle therefore not without caulc , would have ail private judg- 
 ments (for of publick for the maintenance of peace and orjer among men, 
 it is another calc)deferr'd to that time, when the hearts of all menjhall be laid open^ 
 ail hidden things and Jecret counfels feveakd. But we have enough to fay in this 
 caie without it. For if 'Pn^^and Qirioftty were enough to undoe our firft 
 Parent, and in him all mankind, when otherwile innocent, and in pof- 
 leOionof Paradife. Should we wonder if it had the lame event in Dr. 
 Dee 'though otherwife, as he doth appear tons, innocent, and well qua- 
 lified? That this w^as his caie and error, I will appeal to hisownconfef- 
 iion (though he makes it his boaft) in more then one of his Letters orad- 
 drefles, where he profeCfeth , That for diyers years he had been an earnejl Juter un- 
 to God in prayer for Wifdom-^ that is, as he interprets himielf. That he might un- 
 derfland the fecrets of Is.ature that had not been reVeakd unto men hitherto ; to the 
 end ashe profedeth, and his own deceitful heart it maybe fuggefted un- 
 to him That he vvght glorlfe God-^ but certainly, that himfelf might become 
 a, vlorious man in the worfd, and be admired, yea, adored every where almoft, 
 as hernight befureitjivould be, had hecompalTed his delire. And what 
 do wethmk fliould put him upon fuch a defire, with hopes to obtain it, 
 but an opinion he had of himfelf as an extraordinary man, both for: parts ^ 
 and for favour with God ? But however , had he been to the utmoft of what 
 he could think of himfelf, befides his Spiritual pride of thinking io of 
 himielf (as great a fin as any in the eyes of God ) his praying for fiich a 
 thing with fo much importunity, was a great tempting ot God, anddeferv- 
 ine <Treatefi: judgments. Had he indeed been a Inter unto God for fuch 
 Wijdom2.s,thc Prophet Jim/j/c defcribeth ( ii.v.i^^z^.) Let not the Wfeman

 as our Saviour commandeth , 'joh.vj.-^. ^nd this is life eter?ial^ that they may 
 knol}? thie^tcc. And his blelfed Apoftle ( i Cor.i t.i.) For 1 determined not to 
 know any things &c. he had had good warrant for his prayers, and it is very 
 likely that God would have granted him his requeft, fo far as might have ' 
 concerned his own falvation and eternal happinefs. Befides, it is lawful, 
 (nay fit) for a man to pray for Gods blefiing upon his labours, for com- 
 petency of wit and capacity that he maydo well in his vocation and glori- 
 fie God. But for a man to afpircto fuch eminency above other men, and 
 ~by means that are not ordinary (as that conceited fhylo/ophers Stone ^ and the 
 like) and to intereft God by earneft folicitations in his ambitions extrava- 
 gant defires; that God, who hath faid of himielf, l%it here fijieth the proud ^ 
 but giVeth grace untt the humble , muft needs be fo great and fo high a provoca- 
 tion (if well confidered) ^s that I begin to doubt whether it be charity to 
 pity him that fuffered fo juftly and defervedly. 1 do not know but it is 
 as lawfuU few: any man obfcurely born to pray tor a Kingdom ,- for a 
 Common Souldier that he may have ftrength to encounter thoulands, or 
 f<ir an ordinarie Maid , that flie may become the faireft of women. In

 gether the fame, yet not lefs ftrange and dreadful. Such examples Ecclefiafiir 
 cal Story will afford,and other books of that nature, but I have them not at 
 this time, and I conceive I have faid enough to this particular. 
 
 But of his ^rayiio too, fomewhat would be obferved. His Spirits tell him 
 romcwi?erc,thathehadthe Gift of Graying. Truly I believe he had, a^it is 
 ordinarily called : that is, that he could expVefs himlelfvery fluently and ear- 
 neftly in Prayer,andthat he did it often to his own great contentment. Lee 
 no man wonder at this,- I havs, riiuwcd elsewhere that Ibme that have been 
 very wicked, yea, fome that dyed for blafphcmy, and with blalphemy in 
 their mouth to the laftgafp, have had it in a great meafure, and done m^uch 
 miichief by it. It is no dilparagement to Prayer, no more then it is to the 
 beft things of the world (and what better and more heavenly then prayer well 
 u(ed r ) it cheybe abuied. Aid it is commonly ob(erved,that the corruption 
 of beft things is moft dang^>ous. What bred thole pernicious hereticks 
 that folong troubled the world, and could notbefiippreftedbutby abfoluce

 ihcmfclves at their prayers, which ignorant deluded people think to be an 
 argument of the Spirit : It io ^cxiaiii,and is a myftcry of nature that hath(*may 
 I ipeak it without bragging ) been brought to light ( of late years at 
 leaft) by my felf and fully dilcovercd , *That not only the inward heat of 
 " mental conception (where there is any vigor) but alio the mufick of ^ut- 
 *' ward words, is able to occafion ic. Indeed it is a point that doth deferve 
 to be wellconfidcredof in thefe times efpecially. For when young boyes 
 and illiterate men (and the number is likely toincreale now that CattcUzing 
 is fo much negleded) are turned loofe toexercife thcmfelvesin this gift (as 
 they call it) and when by long practice they have attained to fome rcadinefs 
 and volubility jWhich doth occafion fome inward lightfomenefs and excita- 
 tions, or perchance lomcwhatthat may have lomc relemb lance to fpiritual 
 Ibrrow and compunction, they prefently think themfelvesinfpiredj and lb 
 they become Saiuuht^oxt they know what it is to be Qlnjliam. And if 
 they can Pray by inspiration, why not Preach alfo ? So comes in Ambaptifm 
 by degrees, which willbetheruine of all Religion and civil Government 
 where ever it prevails . And I believe that this fond foolifh conceit of Tnfpi- 
 ration^ as it hath been the occafiou of much other mifchief, fo of that horrid 
 facriledge , fl\all I call it, or profanation ( I hope I may do either with- 
 out ofiPence, for it is not done by any pubhck Authority that I know 
 of) thecafting andbanifhing of The Lords Prayer out of manypri- 
 rate hou fes and Chuiches; then which, I think, Chrift never received a 
 greater alf: ont from any that called themlelves Chriftians. I am not fb uno'ia- 
 ritable as to believe that it is done in dire(5b oppofition to Ghrift by any re- 
 al Chriftians, but in a furious zeale by many, I believe, againft let prayers. 
 But this is not a place to difputc it : Certainly , as the Lords Prayer is a 
 Prayer of moft incredible comfort. to them that ufe it devoutly and upon 
 good grounds (a good foundation of Religion and found Faith, I mean) fb 
 I believe that fct Prayers in general are ot more concernment to the fct- 
 ling of Peace in the Commonwealth then many men are aware of. 
 But let this pafs for my opinion; there be worie I am lure thAt pals • 
 currently. 
 
 Again, A man may wonder (I cannot tell whether an objedion may 
 be made of it) that Dr. Dec, though he were at the firft deluded f to which 
 his own pride and prefumption did expofe him ) as many have been ; 
 yet afterwards in procefs of time when he found himfelf fb deluded and 
 fhufHed with j when Edward i^elley did ufe fiich pregnant arguments to 
 him (as he did hiore then once) to perfwade him that they were evil Spirits 
 that appeared unto them ^ nay,when he had found by certam experience, that 
 his Spirits had told him many lies, foretold many things concerning Princes 
 and Kingdoms , very particularly limited with circumftances of time , 
 which when the time was expired did not at all come to pafs j yet for all 
 this he durft pmn his Soul for them that they were good Spirits , and con- 
 tinued in his confidence ( fb farre as our Relation goes) to the hi\. I 
 anfwer, SwvL io the power of this kind of Spiritual delufion, it doth fo pof- 
 fcfs them whom it hath once taken hold of, that theyfeldoni, anyofthem^ 
 recover themfelvcs. In the dayes o^ Mar tin Luther (a great and zealous refor-

 mer of Religion , but one chat would have detcftcd them as the wdrft of 
 Infidels that had u(ed the Lords Trayer^ as fbme have done in our dayes, as 
 appcArsby whatheiaith of it in more then one place) there lived one Micha- 
 el btifeiim, who applying to himfelf fome place of the ^pocalypfe ^ took up- 
 DQ. him to Prophecy. He had foretold that in theyear of the Lord 1555. 
 before, the zgo't September the end of the world, and Chrifls coming to 
 Judgment wouU be. He did fliew io much confidence, that fome write, 
 iMtJxt himfelf was fomewhat ftartled at the firft. But that day pall, he came 
 ;^ fecond time to Luther with new Calculations, and had digefted the whole 
 bulincfs into zz. Articles, thecffe^of which was to demonftrate chat the 
 end of the world would be in OBokr following. But now LMf/;(fr thoughc 
 he had had tryal enouglp, and gave fo little credit to him ^ that he 
 (though he loved the manj filenccd hiiTwfor a time-, whichour Apocalyp- 
 tical Prophet took very ill at his hands, andwondred much at his incredu- 
 lity* Weil, that moneth and lome after that over, our Prophet ( who had 
 made no little ftir in the Country by his Prophecying) was caft intoprilon 
 for hisobftinacy. After awhile /-«f/;ervifitcd him, thinking by that time 
 •to find him ol another mind. But fo yfar was he from acknowledging his 
 error, that he down right railed at LMf/;er for giving him good counlcl. And 
 Xome write that to his dying day (having lived to cheageof 80. years) he 
 never recanted. And was not this the cale of learned rojtc/my, who fallen 
 into fome grievous wild fancies in his latter daycs, though found enough 
 flill in other things , could never be reclaimed though means were ufed 
 from time to time the beft and gentleft (in refpedto his worth and perfbn ) 
 that could be thought of? But what talk we of particular men ? Con- 
 fider che Anaha^tijh in s^cnev^}. Above an hundred years ago chey croybled 
 Germany \ cry much: it coft many thoulands their lives. They roved up and 
 down. No looner deftroyed in one place but they fprung (whilefl: that lea- 
 Ibn laftcd) in another. Their pretences every where were the fame • (?^«-. 
 Velations and the Spirit : the wickednefs ot Princes and Magiftrates , and 
 Chrijljijiis to he jet up in his Throne. Well, at la ft they were deftroyed in moft 
 pl^es. Stories of them have been written in all Languages, read every 
 where, and their lamentable end. Can all this hinder but that upon every 
 opportunity ol a confuted and confounded Government, they ftarc up a- 
 gain m the fame Ihape and form as before ; the fame pretences, the (ame Scri- 
 ptureSjfor all the world,milerably detorted and abuled, to raiie tumults and 
 ledicions in all places. Such is the wretchedncfs of man that is once out oE 
 the right way of Rcalon and Sobriety. But withall we rauft (ay in this 
 particular cafe of Dr. Vees^ though his obftinacy was great and marvellous, 
 yet it muft be acknowledged, that great was i\iz diUgefKe and fubtility of his 
 Spirits to keep their hold : and (ome things fometimes happened ( as his 
 danger and prefervation about Cra'vefend^ when he firft , here related, went 
 out of the Realm) very {lrangcly,and fuch was the unhappinels of his mif- 
 applycd zeal, that he made a Providence of whatloever hapned unto him 
 asnedehred. 
 
 So much for Dr. Dee himfelf. But of his Spirits a greater queflion per- 
 chance may be moved: If evil wicked, lyins Spirits (as we have reafon

 perfwaders'to Piety and godlinefs, yea, fuch preachers of Chrift, his Incar- 
 nation, his Pafhon, and other Myftenes ot the Chriftian Faith, not only 
 by them here acknowledged, bat in fome places very Scholaftically fet out 
 and declared' ? It fcemeth fomewhat contrary to reafon and as contrary to 
 the words of our Saviour, Byery Kingdom divided agatn/l it /elf, Scc^ But 
 firfl: to the matter of fad : The Divels we know even in the Gofpel did 
 acknowledg, nay, in tome manner proclaim Chrift to be the Son of God : 
 which is the main Article he did gonteft with Chrift by Scripture Autho- 
 rity- and by S.*P^M/i teilimony, can transform hi mfelf, when he lift into 
 an Anc^el of light. And in fome relations well atteftcd, of Pofleftions 
 and publickExorcifms that have been ufed; wegnd the Divel often fpcak- 
 ing by the mouth of women, vuha like a Monk out of the Pulpit , per- 
 fwading to temperance, rebuking vices, expounding of myfteries , and the 
 like then as one that were an enemy to truth and godlinels. Infomuch 
 that fome have been ready to make a great myftery and triumph of it, 
 thereby to convia Hereticksand Atheifts, in time, more effcdually , then 
 they have been by any other means that have been uled hitheito : and af- 
 cribincT the whole bufinefs not to the Divel himielf, but the great power 
 and Providence of God^ as forcing himagainft his will to beaninftrumenc 
 of his Truth. For my part, I fee cauie enough to believe that fuch things, 
 the re contained at large, might come from the Divel ; that is, might tru- 
 ly and really be fpoken by perfons poflefied and infpired by the Divel. 
 But that they are impleyed by God to that end, I fhall not eafily grant. 
 I rather fufped that whatioever comes from them in that kind, though it 
 be good in it ielf, yet they may have a mifchievousend in it- and that I 
 believe will Toon appear if they can once gaincfomuch credit among men 
 as CO be believed to be lent by God to bear teftimony to the truth. A man 
 .may fee fomewhat already by thole very Relations , and that account that is 
 given us there. And therefore I do not wonder if even among the more 
 Ibber Piipifts this projeit (as the relater and publiOier complaineth; hath 
 found oppofition. The Divel is very cunning ; a notable Polititian. 5. 
 ^aul knew him fo, and therefore he ufes many words to fet out his frauds. 
 Hecan lay. the foundation of aplot, if need be, ahundred years before the 
 effeds fliali appear. But then he hath his end. It is not good truftingof 
 him, or dealing with him upon any pretence. Can any man fpeak bet- 
 ter then he doth by the mouth of Anabaptifts and Schifmaticks ? And this 
 hewiil dofor many years together if need be, that they that at firft flood 
 pff may be won by time. But let them be once abiolute maft^rs , and 
 then he will appear in his own fhape. There is one thing which I Won- 
 der much more at in thofe Relations I have mentioned , and that is, that 
 the Divel himfclf fliould turn fuch a fierce accufer: of chepi that haVe 
 ferved him fo long. Witches and Magicians. I know he aoth^here fo too 
 in fome kind , in more then one place. He doth iii'uch inveigh agiinft 
 Divels «nd all that have to do with them , Magicians, Sec. But that is 
 in general only, or in IQlley's particular cale , upon whom he had a- 
 notha: hold , which he made more reckoning of •, to-'wit , as he ap-

 there, and their good opinion of him ; for he had great hopes from that 
 plot. But that he fliould purfue fb ridgedly particular men and women 
 whom he had ufed fo long, to death, and do the part of an informer a- 
 gainfl: them , may feem more like unto a Kingdom divided againft it lelf, 
 but it is not our cafe here ; neither am I very well fatisfied , that whac- 
 fbever the Divcl faith or layesto the charge of them by whol^ mouth he 
 fpeaketk , ought to be received for good teilimony. Here it may hcWierim 
 had fome reafon ,- for I doubt ibme have been too credulous. But this by 
 the way fliall iuffice. 
 
 That the Divel fliould lie often, orbe miftakenhimfelf, in his Troche- 
 cieSj as by many particuiars of this Relation will appear , I wall not look 
 upon that, as if any objediion could be mad^of it. But it may be won- 
 dred , perchance , Dr. Dee being often in lb great "^anc of monks , that he 
 did not know which way to turn^ what fhitt to make ; at which time 
 be did alwayes with much humility addrefs hinafelf to his Spirits, making 
 his wants known unto them • and the Divel on the other fide , both by 
 his ownboalbng, and by the teftimonieof thole whocould not lie, having 
 the goods of this world (though ftiU under God) much at his difpofing , 
 and alwayes, as he feemed, very delirous to give Dr. 'Dee all polTible fatis- 
 fa^lion ■ that in this cale , once or twice perchance excepted, when the 
 Dr. was well furniilied (for which the Spirits had his thanks) at all other 
 times he was flill , to his very great grief and perplexity , left to himfelf 
 to fhift as he could, and fome pretence, why not otherwile fupplyed, cun- 
 ningly deviled by them that were lb able, and to whom he was io dear. 
 But I miift remember my felf ; I laid fo ablej but in fome places his Spi- 
 rits tell him plainly. It was not in their power , becaufe no part of their 
 Commilsion, or becaule it did not belong unto them (fuch as dealt with 
 him,) to meddle with the Trcafurcs of the earth ; and (ometimes that 
 they were things beneath their cognizance or intermedling. Of the diffe- 
 rent nature of Spirits, we fliall lay ibmcwhat by and by^ that 'may have 
 >^mc relation to this alio, perchance. But granting that the Divel gene- 
 rally hath power enough both to find mony and to gratific with it where 
 ,he feeth caufe. Yet in this cale of Witches and Magicians, dired: or in- 
 dire^^t , it w ttfiMm and obfaved by many as an argument of Gods great TroVidence 
 oyer men^ that generally he hath not : It is in very deed a great Argument of a 
 fuperiour over-ruling power and Providence. For it men ot all ptofef- 
 fions will hazard (their Souls) fo far as we lee daily to get money and 
 cftates by indired: unconfcionable wayes , though they are not alwayes 
 Hire , andthat it be long oftentimes before itcomes,, and oftentimes prove 
 thpir ruine^ even in this world, through many cafualties ; as alterations 
 ^.of times, and the like : what would it be if it were in the power of the 
 .;P. to help every one that came unto him, yielding but to Inch and fuch 
 r;;Condit!ons, according as they Cv^v^Ul agree i 
 
 Hitherto I have confidered what I thought might be objeded by others- 
 I have one obje^ion tnore, vvl.lca to me was more conlidcrable (as an obje-

'The 'P\EFACB, 
 
 generally, boch by their nature as Spirits, and by the advantage of loijg 
 experience Tavjery great advantage indeed in point of knowledgj cannot but 
 have perfed knowledg of all natural things, and all fecrets of Nature, which 
 do not require an infinite underftanding; which by that meafureofknoWc-r> 
 ledge that even men have attained unto in a little time, is not likely to bf 
 foneceflary in moft things. But left any man fhould quarrel at the word 
 ^erfeB becaufe all perfedion belongs unto God properly, it fhall fuificq^ 
 t« fay, That the knowledge Divels have of things Natural and Humane- 
 is incomparably greater then man iscapableof. If fo, how comes it tc>^ 
 pafs that in many places of this Relation we find him ading his part rathe,^ 
 as a Sophifter ( that I fay npt a Juggler) then aperfed Philofopher,- as -a 
 Quack, or anEmpirick lometiimes, then a True, genuine Naturahft. And 
 for language (nottofpeak oi his Divinity, which he might difguiie of pui-. 
 pofc to his own ends) rather as one that had learned Latin by reading of bai;-:' 
 barous books, of the middle age, for the moft part, then of one chat had beer^^ 
 oi Augufiui his^ time, and Iq^ng before that. But that which is ftrangeft of all 
 is, that as in one place the Spirits were difcovered by Ed. IQlley to fteal out of. 
 Jqrippa or rnr/^ew«M4 (fo he thought at leaftj fo in divers other places, by thf; '

 and Cabahftical Authors of later times j yea, (if Ibe not muchmiftaken) 
 and fardceljus him(elf,that prodigious creature, for whom and againft whom 
 fo much hath been written fince he livedj thefe things may lecmftrange, but 
 I think they may be anfwered. Forfirft, we lay, ThcDivdis notambicious 
 to fhew himfelf and his abilirie? before men, but his way is (fo obferved by 
 many) tofithimfelf (for matter and words) to the genius and capacity of 
 thofe that he dcalech with. Dr.D^?, of himfelf, long before "any Apparition, 
 was a Cabali ftical man , up to the ears, . as I may lay 5 .as may appear to any 
 man by his i\fo/Wi Hmogly^hka^ a book much valued by himfelf, and by him 
 Dedicated at thefirft to Maxmilwit]it Emperor, and iince prefented (as here 
 related by himlelf)to (]{odolphe as a choice piece. It may be thought fo by thofe 
 who efteem luch books as Dr. FW, Dr. Jlabafier, and of late Gafarell^ and the 
 liRe. For my part I have read him 5 itisfoon don, itisbutahttlebook : but 
 I muft profefs that I can extrad no fcnfe nor reafon (found and folid) out of 
 it: neither yet doth it feemto me very dark or myftical. Sure we are that 
 thofe Spirits did a6l their parts fo well with Dr.Dcf, that for the moft part(in 
 moft At^ions) they came off with good credit; and we find the Dr. every 
 where almoft extolling his Spiritual teachers and inftruders, and prayfing 
 God for them. Little reafon therefore have we to except againft any thing(in 
 this kind) that gave him content, which was their aim and bufinel^s. 
 
 Secondly ^l^zy^ If any thing relifh here oiTrithenmsoifaracdfusfix:iny^nc\\^ 
 well may we concludc*from thence, that the Divel is like himfelf. This is the 
 jrucft inference. It is he that infpired Tritbemius and Taracelfus^Scc. that (peak- 
 cth here; and wonder yc if he fpeaks like them ? I do not exped that all 
 men will be of my opinion; yet I fpeak no 'Paradoxes : I have both reafon 
 and authority good and plaufible, I chink, for what I lay ; but to argue the 
 cafe at large would be tedious. Of Irithmm fomewhac more atterwards will 
 be faid. But we rauft go far beyond that time. A thoufand years and above,

 what we have in Scdiger^ I know not 5 nor what part ic is Co often mentioned 
 in this Relation. By what I have feen it doth appear to me a very fuperfliti- 
 ous,foolifli, fabulous writing; or to conclude all in one word, Cabaliflical, 
 fuch as the Divel might own very well, and in all probability was ftie author 
 olF. As for that conceit of the tongue which was fpokeri by Muryi in Para' 
 difc,wc have already laid that it is no late invention j and I make noquefli- 
 on but it proceeded from the fame Author. Yea, thofc vety Chara6ters com- 
 mended untoDr.D^-e by \i\s Spirits for holyandmyflical, and the original 
 Charaders (as I take it) of the holy tongue, iLjy ^le no other ,for the moft pare 
 but fuch as were fet put and publiflied long agoe by one Thefeiis Jmbrofits cue 
 of Magical books,ashimrelf profcfTeth : you (hall have a view of them in 
 ■fome of the Tables at the c»dof the Preface. Some letters are the fame, others have 
 much rcfemblace in the fubflance ; and in tranfcribing it is likely they might 
 differ fome alteration. But it may be too the Spirits did not intend they fhould 
 be taken for the fame, becaufe exploded by learned men, and therefore altered 
 tht forms and figures of moft of them of purpofe that they might fcem new, 
 and take the better. So that in all this the Divel is but ftill conftant unto him- 
 felf,and this conftancy ftands him in good ftead,toadd the more weight and 
 to gain credit to his Impoftures. Not to be wondred therefore if the fame 
 things be found elfewhere , where the D. hath an hand. 
 
 With Cabaliftical writings we may joyn Chymical^ here alfo mentioned m 
 many places. I have nothing to fay to Gj;«//?rif as ic is meerly natural , and 
 keeps It felf within the compafs of fobriecy.It may wel go forapartofPhylick,

 my lelf have feen ftrange things done by it: and it cannot be denycd but the 
 wonders of God and Nature are as eminently vifiblc in the experiments of 
 that Arc as any other natural thing. Tlumver^itisnot improbable that diyers fecrets 
 ^bf it came to the knowledg of man by the %eyelation of Spirits. And the pra(5tice and

 not to the Divel who certainly would not be wanting to himfclf or to any

 not give him the power: So much to Mrdw^w/^ , out of my refpetfJ: to his 
 name, and tor the better fati 5 fadion to the Reader. I owe the fight and u(e 
 of the book to m.y Learned friend Dr.Windett before mentioned — . I am much 
 confirmed in that opinion (of the Divel being the Author) by what I find of 
 it in the bock which hath given me this occafion to Ipeak of it. Were there 
 nutui.ig, vlic but the gr jIs and .impudent forgeries that have been ufed to com- 
 mend it unto men, fome entituling the invention to yfdam himfelf, others to 
 So/owo;/,and the like j and the many books that have been counterfeited to the 
 fame end^and again the moft ridiculous and profane applying & expounding 
 of Scriptures,a thing ufually done by moft that are abettors of it,thofe things 
 ■ were enough to make a man to abhor it. Sure enough it is,that not oply Dr. 
 Z^t'e, but others alio who had part of that precious Tot^der brought unto them by 
 Spirits^ and expeded great matters of it, were all cheated and gulfd (and I be- 
 lieve it coft fome of them a good deal of money ; Ttince T{oj'emberg particular- 
 ly) by thole Spiritual Chymifts. Let them confider of it that have been deal- 
 ing in luch things as they fljall lee caiife. 
 
The Trefnce, 
 
 So ilill wc fee, that in all thefe things, a'= we faid before, the Divel is not be- 
 holding to others, (as might be(ufpc6tcd) but others ha\c been beholding to 
 him: As for his Divinity, i nhighcft pomes, if he fpakc the truth, it was for 
 his own ends, as we faid before : He can do it, who makes any quellion ? 
 In contro\ crted points, wc may obferve, chat he doth fer've thefcene aod prefcnc 
 occafion i and I make no queil;on,but had Dr. Dee^onc to Conjiantinople iZnd 
 been entertained there with refpcd:, his Spirits there would ha\ c fliewed them- 
 felves as good Mahometans^ as clfewhere good Roman Catholicks^ or Troteftants. 
 
 We have fomewhere a very pretty Tale, (I would fay a curious Obfervation 
 if I thought it true) concemingthenature of the Serpen tor Addar, handfomly 
 cxpreflcdj how flie tra'neth her yong ones to fct them out abroad into the world 
 that they may (hift for themfelv es. Twenty days, as I remember, are foent in 
 that work: Now whether it be {^o really^, I cannot fay certainly, but I fufped: 
 it. It is not in Ariflotle^ and I looked in Aldroi/andffs^ and I could not findc 
 it: But whctheritbcfo or no, let no body wonder; forthis was the maner of 
 Preaching formerly (and may be yet perchance in fome places) amiOng Monki 
 and Fryars in great requeft. They would make a ftory of Man, or Bcafts, as 
 they thought fit themiclves, and their Fancies belt ferved ; pretty and witty, as 
 much as they could j whether it had any ground of truth, or no, no man re- 
 quired ; Thc.moralization was good. If the Divel have done fo here it was 
 not through ignorance (for he is too good a Naturalift; and I believe there is 
 fomewhat even in Nature, though we know it not, why both in facred and pro- 
 phanc H:ftory, Spiritsand Serpents are (b often joy ncd) of which is true and 
 real; buias hath been faid, it Icrvcd his turn, and that is enough. And al- 
 though, having confidcred it as an Objcdlion, how the Divel comethto fpeak 
 fomuch truth, as will be found in this Book; no man, I think, will expcd I 
 ftiould give an account of any falfc Doctrine or Divinity, that ic rqay 
 contain: Yet one point I think fit to take notice of, and proteft againft it ; as 
 falfe, erronious, and of dangerous confcqucnce , and that is, where ic is 
 faid, That 4 wd« (in fome cafes) may kill another man (Vrinceor other") without 
 apparent canfe, or lawful Authority, and therefore pnnifhable by the Laws of 
 Man 5 who ne^erthelefs^ may expeB a great reward at the hands of God for his 
 aB : H J w this may agree with the Principles of New Lights, and Anabaptifti- 
 cal Divinity, I know not; it is very contrary to the Principles of that Ortho- 
 dox Divinity, lately profcfTcd and cftabhfhed by Law in £«g/^ff^/. 
 
 I have^now faid in this main Objediion, (as I apprehended it) what I think 
 was molt proper and pertincnt,and I hope may fatiffie. But I have fbmewhat clfe 
 to Dy, which in this cafe of Di'vels and Spirits in general, I think it \ery confi- 
 derable, and may fatisfie perchance, in (omc cafts, where nothing elfe can. 
 We talk of Spirits, and read of Spirits often, but I think it is \ery litde 
 that we know (thebeft ofusall) of them, of their nature or dififercnces : And 
 how then can it be expeded that we Aiould refolve all doubts ? And though I 
 think it is not much that any man ever knew and rightly apprehended, or can, 
 as he is a man, in this bufinefs ; yet my opinion is, (though I know it is much 
 gainfaidand oppofed) that ancient Tlatonick Phylofophcrs of the latter 
 times, underftood much more then moft ChriRians; I do not write this, 
 as though I thought, or would have any thought by others to be the worfc 
 ehrillians for being ignorant in thefe things ; but rather, in my opinion, any

 what Ididtofatisfie myminde in fomc matters of Faith, if anyluch fcruplc

 fo many high Myftcries are propofed unto us in ChriTi: by his Gofpel, and of io 
 much conlcqucncc, that cannot beilow his time better: They that ha\ cany 
 hopes, through Faith in Chrift, and a godly life, to be admitted one day into 
 the prcfenccof God, and to fee face to face, asGodliath promircd ; will they 
 hazard fo o-forious a hope, by prving through unfcafonable, unprofitable curiofi- 
 ty, into the nature of thcfc vaff d Spirits, which God hath forbidden : But be- 
 caule it doth concern Relig'on in general, that we bdicc Spirits ; and when 
 Objedtions arc made that cannot be anfwered, m.any arefcandaiized,and Athc- 
 ifts ready to take the ad\ antage of it ; I fay, that it ftjould be no wonder to any, 
 fober and rational, if we cannot refolve all doubts, fince it is fo httle that we 
 know orcatiknow^ beyond the bare o'-r' in this matter: MoiliChriftians are 
 bred in and to this opinion, that all Spirits, (fo commonly called) are cither An- 
 <Tels of Heaven; or Di^ els of Hell: I know no Scripture for if, or dctennina- 
 fion of any general Councel, that I remember, at this time at Icaft, and fo long 
 I do notthink my felf bound againft apparent realon ; For the conceit of all eml 
 Spirits or Di'vels being in'HeU, I think learned Mr, Meade hath tak^nthattQ 
 task^ infome of hin Worfy, and fnfficiently confuted it : The very^ word Spirit, 
 is 4 term of great Ambiguity ; We undcrlfand by it, commonly, fubftances,' 
 that arc akoc^ether immaterial. Many of the ancient Fathers, it is well known, 
 did not allow of any fuch at all, befidcs God : But we think that to have no vi- 
 fible Body, and to be purely immaterial, is all one ;. God knows how many 
 deforces there maybe between thcfc but we cannot know it; neither doth ic 
 concern our falvation, for which we have reafon to praife God: But if ic 
 were fo, that all Sj?/r/>j" are either Divels or Angels,, what Qiall we make of 
 thcfc that are found in mines, of which learned As^ricola hath written ; of 
 ihofe that have been time out of mindc called ^u'/S^Ao/, (from whence pro- 
 bably, as wc have faid clfewhcre, Gobelin in Englifti is derived) who live in

 very thievifli, fo frequent and fo known m fuiuc Countrcys, that a man may as 
 well doubt whether there be any Horfes in Unglandy becaufc there are none 
 in fomc parts of the World ; not found in all America, I think, till fomc were 
 carried thither : Neither can I believe, that thole Spirits that pleafe themfelves 
 in nothing clfc but harmlefs (ports and wantonncfTe, fuch as have been known 
 in all Ages 5 fuch as did ufe to (have the hairs of Flinim Secimdm his Ser- 
 vants in the Night, ashimfelf relates (a very creditable man, I am fure) in his 
 Epiltles, and the like; that fuch Spirits, I fay, have any relation either to 
 Heaven or to Hell : We might infifl: in more particulars-, but wc do not dcfirc

l^he Treface, 
 
 what I have faid of fome Platonicks, I did not intcud thereby to juftificall 
 their abfurd or fuperftitious Opinions in this Argument of Spirits: As they 
 have fcarchcd farther into it then others (befides damnable experience, havino- 
 confouiided Magickwith Phylofophy, yea ahr.oft turned all Phylofophy in-^ 
 toMagick) fo it was confequent, they would fall into moreHrrors and Ab- 
 furditiesi yet withal, they have found fomcwhac that doth better agree with 
 daily experience, .then what is comrtionly known or believed. Stnefms w^s 
 a Bi&op, but as he doth appear to us in his Writings^, a better Platonick then 
 a Chriftian : In a place (in his Treatifc De infotnniis) he fheweth how evil Spi- 
 rits come to inhabit men, and to pofTefle their Brains: H s terms are very 
 courfe, and apparantly ridiculous j but there ir.ay be fome truth in the Opini- 
 on : For if there were not a 'very near and intimate conjunBion^ it ratre to he 
 vpondercd hon> the Di'vel comes to h^ow the 'very thoughts of Witches and Ma- 
 gicians ^ as ii found by experience^ a'verred by more then one : And in thk 've- 
 ry Booh^ if I be not mi^aken^ fomervhat.may be obfer'ved to that pnrpofe : It 
 is pojpble there may be more kindes of pofffjion then one^ and that fome men^ 
 that ne'ver were fftjpe^edy have had a jpirit (beftdes their own) ' reftdent jn 
 them J ally or moU part of their li'ves^ 
 
 , I have done, with what I could think of, vpon which objection can be 
 made : The next thing is, to make the way clearer to the Reader, by fonie con- 
 fideration of the method of the Books., and explanation of fome terms and 
 phrafcs there ufed, at which perchance Tome may ftickat the firfl: : At the very 
 beginning a man may be to feck, it the Title of ir. Liber fexti myfterioruntj ^ 
 fanBi paraUelus^ no'valifque. 1583. both as it relates to that which follow, and 
 as It reHedts upon fomewhat before, by which it may be inferred that the boc k 
 begins hercabruptly andimperfedly : of this I am new ready togive an account 
 to the Reader, and it is yery fit it fkoiild be done.

 years and a half, Cods holy Angels had ttfedto inform him : Our Book^ or firft 
 Adtionhere, bcginncth 2 8M^j, 1583. According to this reckoning, it muft 
 be, that above a year and three Moneths before, began the firft Apparition;

 much (in bulk^ that might come to, I cannot tell ; neither will I warrant all

 Robert^ or Sir Thomas, his Son and Heir, would have heard of it, and got 
 it as foon as any body clfe : And becaufe no m.ore hath been heard of all this

 Uft, (as Well itdcfcrved) it was broken in pieces by Camerarius hh Friend. 
 
 Many fiich flor'es are to be found of Magical Stones and Cryllals: And though 
 
 VerneliuSi De abditis rerum caufis; and after him (as I rcn ember) one, in 
 
 worth and cfteem of all men, not inferior to Fernelius, Dr. Har'vey-, I.;tcly de- 
 
 ceafed, uirns the relation of a ilrange ftone brought to one of the late Kings of 
 
 France, into an Allegory, or Phyficai explication of the power and proprieties 
 
 of the Element of Fire j yet I am not fatisfied, but that the relation might be 
 
 literally true : For fo it is, (as I remember here alfo, for I have none of thole 
 
 Books by me at this time) related by Thuanus, and fo by feme othcrsj very 
 
 learned, underilood. 
 
 Nowforthemaner how he came byir, the particulars of the ftory cannot 
 be had by this here prcfer/ed, butonely this in general, That it was brought 
 unto hi;n by fomc, whom he thought to be Angels : So we findc him telling 
 the Emperor J That the Angels of God had brought to him a Stone of that <value^ 
 that no earthly Ki/rgdoin is of that worthinef^^ as to be compared to the fertue or 
 dignity thereof. Page 171, in his conference with Dr. Curts, appointed by the 
 Emperor to treat with him 3 andalfo let him fee the Jione brought me by Angeli- 
 calMiniJiery : And we findc this Note recorded, [Prague, Tuefday 25 Sep- 
 tembris. Invent to Dinner to the Spanifti Ambaflador, and carried with me the 
 Stone brought me by an Angel, and the fourth Boob^ wherein the manerofthe 
 bringing of it is exprejfed.] Aad for the ufe of the Stone, befidc-. what hath 
 hten faid, this is obfervable : Some Spirits being in fight of JE. if. our of the 
 Stone, Dr. Dee would have the Stone brought forth, butE. A", faid. He had 
 rather fee them thus, out of the Stone; to which the Dodtor replies, That in 
 the Stone they had warrant that no n?ich^d Spirits fhould enter ; but without the 
 Stone iUuders might deal with them, unlej? God pre'vented it, ^c^ From which 
 paffagc alfo we may learn, as from divers Withers in the Book that although the 
 ftonc (as we faid before) was theplacc, in which, and out of which, ordinari- 
 lyj moll; Apparitions were framed, yet it was not fo always ; For we (hall meet 
 
 with 
 
T^he Treface. 
 
 with divers things in that kindc that wercfcen and heard^ withojt any reference 
 to the Stone : From the fame place alfo wc may learn, that the faid Stone was 
 the fame he alfo called the Sherv-Jione ; as in many places bcfides. However^ 
 it is certain enough that he had more Stones then one, wh ch he accounted fa- 
 cred j ohfcryM^rincipal Stone ^and this other Stone ; 'yifirji SanBifiedStone^ nfti-

 Holy-Stone. And to liipply the defcdt of the mancr how it was brought to 
 him, the Reader, if heplcafeymayfinde fomiefatisfa^tion, if he read the /;/<j«er 
 hovp it rras tah^n away, andreftoredy very particularly fet down, as before (up- 
 on another occafion) was obfervcd.

 would think at fir if, perchance, ihatit wasfomewhat outward, but it will be 
 found other wife ; it was fecn in the Stone, and appeared of different forms and 
 colours, as they that read will quickly finde. 
 
 Next unto thcfcthc Holy Table is chiefly conCderable, ordcriiag of it is re- 
 ferred to Dt'Dee, which hedarlt not take upon himfclf^ until he had war- 
 rant from his Spiritual Teachers : This Table, which may well be called Ma- 
 gical, is prefervcd and to befeen in Sir Thomas Cottons Library, (from whence 
 we had thercR) and byhisleave ishcrcrcprefentcd inabrafs Cutj mention is 
 made of it, as I take it, where Dr. D^e propofeth to hisTeachersj Whether 
 }he Table (for the middle crofs of uniting the 4 principal parts') be madeperfeSi 
 cr m : You may fee more of it, it is alfo called League Table, Table ofCo'venant, 
 vtenfa foederis in fome piaces : " The Pedefial of it is mentioned in two or three 
 places, and in:leed a very curious Frame belonging unto it-, yet to be fcen in the 
 faid L'brary. But I know not what to make of that^ neither Nalu: nor the Ta- 
 ble appeareth ', and the roundTable or Globe appeared not. I bciieve it imifl be 
 underllood of fomcwhat that had appeared bcfo.re in the flone. The Reader , 
 that will be fo curious, by careful reading may foon finde it out j I was not 
 willing to bellow too much time upon it. 
 
 But here remainetha main buhncfs whereof wc are to give an account to 
 the Reader; There were many Tables or Schemes at the end of the Bock, 
 containing Letters, a.b. e.&'C. difpofed into little fquares, with an Infcrip- 
 tion over each Table in that unknown Charader (b.efore fpokenof) exprciled 
 inufial Letters how it (hould be read^ There is one for a Specimen here at 
 the end of the Preface ; the re!! wcreomitted^ becaufe it was judged needlefs, 
 except it were to increafe the price of the Printed book. For firit, Dr. Dee 
 himfclf though he took a great deal of pains to underftand tlie Myftcry of 
 them, and had great hopes given him from time to time to reap the benefit 
 (himfelf complains of it in more then one place) of his toilfome work and 
 long patiei^ce, yet it never came to any thing : and if he made nothing of them 
 (to benefit himfelf thereby) what hopes had we? Befides, we may judge of 
 ihefe Tables, and all this myftery of Letters, by what we have fcen in others 
 of the fame kinde. Johannes Trithemius was a man that was fuppofed by mo 11

 fjy : For befides what others have acknowledged, I finde learned Jlgimire, 
 (who in his old cige w sgtown himfelf very Cabaliftical, or it may be had fome 
 diipofition that way, though very learned otherwifc, from his natural temper) 
 as much grounded in that book^ as any man before him ; He doth plainly 
 profefs he could mske nothing of it: And traly if he could nor, that had be-

 think chat little to be much, andarcvcry proudofit j whereasmuch knowledge 
 (or to fpeak properly, more knowledge) if well u(ed, hath this advantage that 
 it makes m^en noil: fenfible of their ignorance. The reading of Vigenaires

 will not be forry the rell ot the 'tables (being many in number) were omitted. 
 Though I mult addc withal, had I known or thought any ufe could be made

 The hnfirefs is. Dr. Dee was larely grown ii to great league and confederacy 
 with Albert Lasky^(®T a lafco rather) a great man of Folonia. You had before 
 Wtiat Cambden ia 'hof biii of his cowin'^tQ England^ at this very time, and h's

 looked upon in the publifhing of it. This order indeed I propcfcd to my fclf, 
 but great part of thisoccafion offering it felf upon other matter, is already per- 
 formed in the former Difcourfe^ (o that but little is now left to be done • How-

 Thefirftisagainll: Athcifts, and fuch as do not believe that there beany 
 Divcfsor Spirits : Wc have argued it^ Iconfefs^ pretty largely, at the beginning 
 of this Pifcourfe or Freface, and I hope fbmcmay rccc ve competent iat sfa-

 Scripture Authority, which would be impertinent againR Athe ih) I do not 
 know what can be ir.ore con\ incing then this fad Story, (o exadily lo part cu- 
 larly, fo faithfully delivered. Truly, they mull fee further r hen 1 do, that can 
 finde what to an(wer (rationally) and to oppofc: This is agrcatpoint, and a 
 great ground of Religion j bat this is not all ; For if thcrc^be Spirits mdccd, 
 fo w eked and malicious, foftudious and fo induflrious, to delude men, and 
 to do mifchicfj which is their end, all which is fo fully raprcfented in this Rela- 
 tion; then certainly muft it follow, that there is a great oxer-rufng Power^ 
 that takes care of the t archj and of the Inhab taiits of it ; of them efpecially 
 that adore that Power, and worfliip it w th true afFedion and fmccrity : For 
 without this over ruling Power, what a miferable World fliould we have } 
 What man r^iober orinnoccnt, that could enjoy hinifelf atany tiracwithany 
 comfort orfecurity ? Butagain, whatman can read this fad llory and can be Co 
 pcrlwatiedof his own WiSom or innocency, but wili in fomc degree rcfledl 
 upon hiirfclf, and will be mo\ cd to praifc God, that notwithftanding mauy 
 provocat'onsuifeveral k'ndcs (as damnable curiofity, open prophanenefs, fre- 
 quent Ouhes, Curfcs, Perjuries, feandalous Life, and the liktj God hath 
 been pleaicd to protcd: and prefcrvc him from the force and violence of fuch 
 enemies of mankinde ? -^^ 
 
 lizd before, fromlef. beginnings grcatefl: confufions had enfued, which is 
 very true as in the cafe oC Bacchus particularly many A'^es before ; and in the 
 cale of Mahomet afterwards ("two notable lewd Euthnftajis^ by whoiiiips Inftru- 
 ments, e'vil Spirits, by God^ pcrmiflion, brought great alterations inGcvern- 
 ments, and wroughtmuchmfchief andv llany amon^ Men and Women) we 
 fha lelfcwhcre (hew more at large. By due confidcration of all Circuir.ftaaces, 
 aschirfly their confident and reiterated AddrcfTcs unto, and Attempts upon fo 
 many great men in Power and Authority, and the like j I am much of op'nicn 
 that thsfe Spirits had as great hopes of Dr. Pee, as ever they had of Bacchus or 
 Mahomet. But God was not pie Jed at that tin e to permit that their malice and 
 fubtiltyfliould prevail And I chii k, if we confident well, we havercafon to 
 pra fc God for it. England might have been over-run with Anabiptifin (when 
 I fay Anabaptifm, I mxan Anabaptifm confirmed and in full power, notasitap- 
 peai s in its firft pretentions) long before this : God be thaakcd that it was not 
 then and God keep it from it ftill, I hope is the Prayer of all truly fober and 
 Religious And in very deed I know no reafon, but the XY'^ildom and prudence 
 of the r iMlijefties CounccI thatthen w^re, inoppofing Dr. JD^e/ frequent ad- 
 drsffes and Sollicitations, may(underGod) challenge and defcr^e fomc part of 
 Q irThank? and Acknowledgement. 
 
 Agaim TheDivel We fee can Pray and Preach, (as to outward appearance 
 wc iLean; for truly [and really, God forbid that any thing facred and holy 
 Ihould be thoight to proceed from Divcls) and talk of Sandi ty and Mortificati-

 diatclyj there is no queftion, but he doth by his Minifters and Inftru- 
 
 ments much more, more ordinarily and frequently I mean : Let any man 
 
 luuge then, whether it be the part of a fober wife man, not onely to hear 
 
 fuch menascangivenoaccount of their calling, but alfo to follow them, 
 
 to embrace their Do6lrinc, to be of their number or Congregation j and 
 
 all this, upon this account, becaufe they can pray and preach very well, 
 
 (as they think and judge at leaft) and talk very godliiy and zealoufly > 
 
 How much more inexculable they that will clea c unto (uch, though they 
 
 fee and know them fcandalous in their Lives, Proud, Infolent, Ignorant, 
 
 Seditious, Intolerable, becaufe they can pray, and preach, and talk, as 
 
 beft agreeth with their own humor, and gives them beft content ? Can 
 
 any man think they follow God in this, who would have all things clone 
 
 in order^ and is not di Cod of Confufien, (i Cor. 14. 35,40.) when all they 
 
 do tends to nothing elfe but diforder and confufion ? 1 confefs it is pofli- 
 
 b'e, that men lawfully called may prove bad enough, vse have divers cx- 
 
 amplesin the Scripture But if a man, fimply and ignorantly be mif-Ied 
 
 by fuch, certainly his judgement will be much lighter then they can ex- 
 
 peS:, who will not ufe the means that God hath ordained, in fo great 
 
 and weighty a bufinefs as the falvation of i'ouls is. I know not what thefc 
 
 men can fay for themfelvcs, except it be, that they are refolvcd to make 
 
 ufe of the Liberty of the times to pleafe their humor j they may do it, but 
 
 if that bring them to Heaven, they have good luck. 
 
 But the bufinefs of praying, is that I would principally in fift upon : 
 You fee here how Dr. Dee, where he gives an account of hinifelF to the 
 Emperorj and others, bears himfelf much upon tW^, that fo many year* 
 he had been anearneft Suitor unto God by Frayer to obtain JFifdafi^fach 
 wifdom^she wasambitiojs of. I believe him, that he had prayed very 
 earncftly, and witK much importunity many times: This was the thini^j 
 that made him fo confident of his Spirits, that they mufl: needs be good 
 Spirits and Angels. 1 know a man, I have no comfort to tell it, but that 
 I would not conceal any thing that m.ay be a warning unto others, and yet 
 I will have a refpev2: unto him too.- But I knew ohe,a very innocent man(in 
 his outward converfation, and as I believe very really) Humble, Religious, 
 very Learned and Orthodox, and one that had fuffered for his Confci- 
 ence, as others have done in thefe times: This worthy man, being en- 
 gaged in a controverted Argument, upon which hisphancy had wrought 
 very much, or rather which had much vvrought upon his phancy ; he 
 had written much, filled much Paper, and was defirous to communicate 
 unto me as his friend what he had done: But when I perceived that the 
 drift* of his writing was out of the Law and the Prophets, to (hew the ne- 
 cefljty of fome things which I thought of a more indifferent nature i I 
 was not willing to meddle with it; and begun to argue againft his main 
 drift, and to (hew my difliking. After many words to and fro, he be- 
 gan to prefs me with this, that he had often prayed with much earneltnefs, 
 and he vyas very confident that God had heard his Prayers: Yea, he pro- 
 ceeded fo far, that if God were true, he could not be deceived, and ufcd 
 many other words to the fame purpofe, at which I was much amazed, but 
 
 couM 
 
l^he Preface, 
 
 coulddonogood upon him, fiich was his confidence and violence upon 
 thisoccafion, though otherwife a very moderate ingenuous man: And 
 thus I found him more then once, or twice. Truly, I think God was ve- 
 ry merciful unto him, that took him away in good time. But certainly this 
 bufincfs of Frayer aiidpraifing^ is a bufincfs as of great comfort (the greateft 
 that mortal man is ca-pabJe of upon earth) fo of much more danger and 
 d lufion , then many do believe. And if caution and circumfpedion be to 
 be ufccl in any thing that belongs to Religion, I think it ought in Prayer, 
 as much as any thing. And fince I have adventured to tell one llory upoa 
 mine own credit, I will t 11 one more upon better authority, which I have 
 long defired (for the obfcrvablenefs of it) to conmunicate unto the 
 world, and to tharend, had once inferred it in a Treatifeof nine, which 
 I thought would have been Printed, but it was not : I will firll; give tha 
 Englifli of it, that all men may reap the benefit, and then fet it down in

 At a Co?ififtory in Geneva, upon a Friday, i8 July, J $ 89. the cafe of one 
 Mr. Nicholas hei??g there propofed to the Affemhly to be confidered of who was 
 vpont to infiny^atc himfelf into pri'vateUoHJes^ jt?;der pretence of praying, and 
 madefnull congregations : Jhc bufincfs rvas dijliked by the Vaftors i ^irji, be- 
 caiife nothing in the Church of God ought to be done without order. Secondly, be^ 
 caufe to turn fnch duties of Religion to matter of Traffick to get money onely, 
 (without any other endor calling') was not lawful. Thirdly andlaflly, hisbatta- 
 fogyy (or vain repetition of words) was fiot tobefuffered: Then upon this oc 
 cafionitwas related by Mr. Beza, that the Saturday beforey Tvhilefithat (ha^p

 anfweredy No : What, do you thinks 1 do behold thefe things rvith mine eyes onely > 
 and do not pray to God in my heart ? Gz-vingtbis reajonfor his anfwer he had

 apply himfelf untOj (or to undertake) ivithont due preparation: And that they 
 were deceived, who thought it foeafe a thi?tgto pray rightly : And that care alfo 
 Jhouldbe taken left [underacolour of zeal and devotion] a way be made to

 In the lad place. All men may take warning by this example, how they 
 put.thcmfclves outof the protcdion ot Almighty God, either by prefum- 
 ptuous unlawful wiflies and defires, or by feeking not unto Divels onely, di- 
 rc£ily (wi ich Dr. Dee certainly never did, but abhorred the thought of it 
 in his heart) but unto them that have next relation unto Divels, as Witches, 
 Wi'Xj'z^ards, Conjurers, JJirologers^ (that take upon them to foretell humane 
 events) Fortune- tellers ^ and the like, yea and all Books of that fub;c6l', 
 which I doubt, were a great occafion of Dr^ Dees delufion : That men are 
 commonly di atcd by fu(h, is furc enough; and thofe that arc not 
 very fools, would take heed how they deal with them, and avoid them, 
 to avoid the Imputaiion of Fools ; but thofe that are wife , much 
 more, if they can more then cheat ; for the more they can do, the more 
 they know they have of the Divelm them : Wretched people ! that will 
 not, dare not trull God, who as he is the onely fountain of goodnefs, fo 
 onely knows what is good for every mani They may rejoycefor a time, 
 and applaud themfelves in their conceited fuccfifes, butmifery, if they re- 
 pent not, will be their end ; and it is a great fign that God is very angry 
 with them, when he doth fuffer them to thrive by means which Himfelf 
 hath cur fed*

 Since this Preface Was written, and almoft printed, I was fliewcd a Book, entituled, TheatrnmChe- 
 inkum Britanntcrtm, &c. by EhoA Afl)mole Efq; and in fomc Annotations there, at the end, an account 
 concerning Dr. Di?e and fii*. Kellcy^ (there (tiled Sxt Edmard Kelley) out of a Dt.iryoi Dt.Deesy all 
 written with his own hand : As I do not queftion the Gentlemans fidelity in this bufinefs, fo I make as 
 little queftion but Dr. D«'s own hand will be found to agree in all matters of Fad both here and there, 
 if any fhail take the pains tocompare. And it may be the Reader may receive fome further fatisfaftion 
 in fomc particulars by his labor, which is the reafon that I mention the Book here, being but lately come 
 to my knowledge ; His Judgement either concerning Dr. D€e^ or Kelley, I meddle not with ; andic 
 may be, had he leen what is here to be feen, he would have been of another opinion in fome things* 
 Here is enough, I am lure, to fatisfic any man that is not very much preoccupied, or otherwife engaged 
 by particular ends. As for thofcif-/?o;rj concerning /C(?//if7, ('fomc whereof concern Dr. D^e alfo) he 
 tells us of, as I believe him, that he hath heard (o, (o I muft (and may truly) profcfs, that I have met with 
 far contrary, and in my judgement, and by this account here given us by Dr. Dicy much more proba- 
 ble .- And particularly, that Kelky was put in PrKon by the Emperor, for a notable Chymica! cheat that 
 he had put upon him ; the particulars vvhereof, though they were fully related unto me, yet I will not 
 adventure upon, left I miftakc in fomc terms of art, or petty circumftance of fad. And let the Readec 
 judge by that account. Dr. Dee (who belt knew) doth give us here throughout the whole Book of this 
 Kelley, whether iVevers Story in his Fmerd MonKm. f<*g. 45, 415. of darrnable Necromancy , and other 
 . Dialfelic.il (^enjuration^ pradiied by Kelley in Lancafhlre^ be not (bcfidcs what is there faid and attcftcd) 
 much more probable, then any thing that hath been or can be (aid by others, to his juftification or com- 
 mendation : Which indeed doth make Dodor Vet's cafe altogether inexcufable, that believing and know- 
 ing the man to befucha one, he would have to do with him, and expeded good by his Minifteries ; but 
 that the Dodor his Faith, and his intellcdualls (through Gods juft judgement, as we have faid) werefo 
 much in the power and government of his Spirits, that they might perfwade him to any thing, under 
 colour of doing fervice unto God, yea had it been to cut his own Fathers throat, as wc fee in tbe Rela- 
 m»,that they perfwaded him to lie with another mans Wife,and profticute his own to a vile,and, by liim- 
 felf bclived, Diabolical man. 
 
 Befides, I have been told by many, that Dr. Dee, very poor and every way miferabie, dyed at Mon- 
 lack.^ here about Z-aWi7», which doth not feem to agree with the report in thofe .i*;?^^^*!"^^/ : Eute- 
 nough of them : Neither indeed have I faid any thing at all of purpofe to oppofc the Author, but to 
 give this further fatisfadion to the Reader, or rather to the truth, which I thought I was bound to do. 
 
 The pafTage in Wevers Funeral C^tonmncnts, pag. 45, 46. concerning Kelley^ for their fatisfadion 
 that have not the Book, is this; Ketley, (otherwife called T^/^ar) that famous £«^/i7S Alchy mill of out 
 times, whoflyingoutof h's own Gountrey (after he had loft both his ears at Lancafter) was entertain- 
 ed by .S»i5!o/p/; the fccond, and iaft of that Chriftian name. Emperor oi Cjermany ; for whom Eliz^abeth 
 offamous memory, fent( very fecretly) Captain Teter Gwyn, with fomc others, to perfwade him to return 
 back to his own Native home, which he was willing to do ; and thmking to efcape away in the night, by 
 ilealth, as he was clammei ing over a Wall in his own Houfe in Pragne (which bears his name to this day, 
 and fometimcs was an old Sanctuary) he fell down from the Battlements, broke his leggs, and bruifed 
 his body, of which hurts within a while after, he departed this World. 
 
 Sedqmrfptmhac} youwillfay : Then thus, This DiaboHcalqueftioningofthe dead, for the knowledge 
 of future accidents, was put in pradice by the faid Kelley, who upon a certain Night, in the Park of 
 Waltoninle dale, in the County of Lamafter, with one Paul iVaring, (his fellow- companion in fuch 
 Deeds of darknefs) invocated forae one of the Infernal Regiment, to know certain paflages in the life, 
 as alfo what might be known by the Divels forefight, of the manner and time of the death of a Noble 
 yongGentleman, as then in Wardfhip. The Black Ceremonies of that Night being ended, Kelley 
 demanded of one of the Gentlemans fcrvants, what ("<?>■/(? was the la(t buryedin I-^jj' Church-yard, a 
 Church thereunto adjoyning, who told him of a poor man that was burycd there but the fame day .- He 
 and the faid JVaring, intreated this forefaid fervant to go with them to the Grave of the man fo lately 
 interred, which he did ; and withal, did help them to dig up the Carcafe of the poor Catiff^ whom by 
 their Incantations, they made him (or rather fome evil Spirit through his Oigans) to fpeak, who deli- 
 vered ftrange Predidions concerning the faid Gentleman. I was told thus much by the faid Serv'-^-man, 
 a Secondary Actor in that difmal abhorred bufinefs ; and divers Gentlemen and others are now living in 
 Lancashire, to whom he hath related this Story. And the Gendeman himlelf (whofe memory I 
 am bound to honor) told me a little before his death, of this Conjuration by Kelley^ as he had it by re- 
 lation from his faid Servant and Tenant, onely fome circumttances excepted, which he thought not fitting 
 to come to his Mafters knowledge.

 much about this time, (^ by all reports :) and in

 INfteadof other Approbation : the Reader ( befides the judgement Of the late Arch-Bijhop of Ar- 
 magh : for his Piety and Learning fo famous everywhere ; fpoken of in the Treface, firft page 
 of it : and the judgement of divers others, that read the Book M anufcript,and wi(hed it printed :) 
 may confidcr, how lollicitous the Devil hath been, when he faw his plots ( God oppofing ) not like- 
 ly to take effcft; that tliefe Myfieries ( thefe Papers and Records ) might not come to light. Firft, 
 by p. 418. and p, 431. (Doftbr jpfe's Letter to the Popes Nuncio) and forae other places of the 
 Book, it doth appear, that they were all btrnt, by command; though feme afterwards ( upon ap- 
 pearance of better hopesj ftrangely reftored again. Again, Part II p. 21, is that horrible impre- 
 cation; w hereof more in the T^/i/e. Laftly, thefe remaining Papers and Records, here exhibited, 
 were under ground, God knows how long: and fince that, though carefully preferved, were even 
 at the very laft, when the worthy Owner took care, and was at the coft to have them tranfcribed : 
 aiid fo at the laft, ( not unluckily, I hope for the publick good : ) they fell into my hands.

 A m-tr vin- ^ CcmmiHioTi was out to attache, and apprehend him as <t fellon for cojning of money. Second-

 yiit thereof , reported him to be a cofcxcr, and had ufed very bitter and grievous reports of him now of late; 
 and a malici- jj,jj ^\yj^^ 1/,^ wife was at home with her mother at Chipping Norton , whereupon, I confidering 
 "■'^ ^^' his great diforder and incumbrance tcnvard him externally, and his greater offending of God 
 
 with his furious impatience internally ; and remembring the whole premifcs of God his fer- 
 vicc to be performed by us two (if we would be dutifuU fervants to his Divine Majefty^ 
 ] was touched with a great pang of Compalfion , borh that any Chriftian fhould ufe fnch

 aUo in refpcft of mine own credit to be brought in doubt, for embracing the company of fuch an

 from our two executing , to our great danger, both in body and foul : Therefore ro do my

 Whereupon after my vehement and humble prayers for the forcfaid purpofe, this voycc 
 was heard of E. K. 
 
 I had (upon fome reafonablc re*fpe&) fetthe fhew-ftone with the myftcry in it, on 
 the Table by £. K. alfo.

 Biting worm. He hath f aid. Let me prove them, for they are not juft : lea, let me touch them ,fer they are 
 jmrighteous, I have granted him power, but without prevailing, J have given him weapons, but they 
 are not jliarpned, his fingers Jhall defile, and yet not deface . For I have appointed him a night , and 
 have prefixed an end thereunto, to the intent it may be k^nown: That thm far I have ftretcbed his 
 month. 
 
 5. K, I have heard a voycc about the fliew-ftone very great , as though 
 men were beating down of rnud walls. 
 The thumping, (huffing, and cluttering is fiich, 
 
 A voice Arife, I fay , for I will be revenged againji the fcorning of thofe lyea , of tbofe 
 
 that are furkjings. 
 
 A, After a great filence and paufe , appeared one on the Table ( without the skirtsof 
 the filke farcenet ) like a woman having on a red kirtle and above that a white garment like 
 an Iriflj Mantle, on her head a round thing like a Garland, green and like a Coronet under 
 the Garland, but not perfeftly to be difcerned; on herbreaft a precious Stone of white co- 
 lour, and on her back another precious Stone ; both which Stones were fet upon a Croffe, in 
 the very center of the Crofle. 
 
 A. Your external apparel ( you Daughter of Light ) you perceive that we have fome- 
 what noted : but by the power and mercy of the external Light, we truft and dcfire to iin- 
 derftand fomewhat of your internal vertue. 
 
 Shefaid What do youthink^I am a Jewellers wife by my apparel ?

 E, K. Whcrqin am I proud } 
 
 She In t^e_,fa»te wherein the Devil was, firJi proud. 
 
 ■ Who glorified the Devil ? 
 
 &. K. God. 
 
 A. God glorified not the Devil, but before he became a Devil he was in glory. 
 
 She The abufing of his Glorification made him a Devil : So the abufing of the good- ADevll, 
 
 nefle of God toward this man, may make him a Devil. 
 
 The workj of the Spirit quicken ; the doings of the Flejh lead unto dejlrpMion. Art thou offend- 
 ed to he called a Devil ? Then extol not thy felf above thy EleAion. 
 
 No man ii elelled by proper name, but according to the meafure of his faithy and this faith is ^>ii^. 
 lively and bath a quickening Spirit in it for ever. Indeed thou art ignorant , and therefore thou art 
 fufficiently plagued : thy lofi thou boafi thy felf and fay. This / can do? 
 
 The Reeds pipe, but it it long of the wind, and herein thou (heweli that thou kjiowefinot thy. felf^ 
 for that thou art proud ; pray therefore that thou mayeji have under jianding, and caji away pride 
 if thou wilt not be counted a Devil. 
 
 By trueunderliandingyoulearnjfirji to kjiow your felves what you are : of whom you are^ani

 This underjianding caufeth no felf -love, but a. fpiritual felfe-hve. 
 
 This underjianding teacheth no Blafphemy. 
 
 This underjianding teacheth no fury. 
 
 It teachiih a. man to be angry, but not wrathful. Writh. 
 
 Tor we may be angry, and mt offend* Wrath is to damnation. 
 
 Therefore ronfideri'ig th't Damnation was the end of thefirji, which was Pride,and Igmrancey 
 thtpmijhment ofthefecond ( which is very loathfome. ) 
 
 Pray unto God th u mayeji avoid the firji, and be unburdened of the fecond. 
 
 Confider by whom thou art counfe lied, and of whom the counfel is : with us there is no caufe of of-

 E' K. 7c is true- 
 
 Be thou therefore a pjijervant.

 Is the Harveft ready when the Corn it ripe ? 
 
 Are the Labourers ready when their Inlhuments are prepared ?

 All -iciflom it reckfinedhy the eternal ffill i a^^untilit be faid, there is no aciion toUerable j 
 When the Sun fljinetk I will appear am.ngft yon ; when it Is f aid Came:, lo I am ready. The dayes of 
 your fathers were hlefd; but the hour when thit Book, ihall be written Ihall he (zna:iiied,jea m 
 the }i:i4deii f inteil.-dual underftanding. 
 
 For herein is the Creation 0/ Adam with his tranfgreffion. Th^ Vignity and wifdom he had. 
 The Errour and horror wherein he was drowned, yea herein is the power fpread of the highejl 
 wording in all Creatures, 
 
 For as there is a partioiil-*r Sonl or fire infiamiMg u»to every body ( I mean reafonable ) So there 
 is an Vniverfal fire and a general hrightneffe giving general light unto thnn, which is but One^ and 
 Jhineth through the whole, yea is meafured equally unto every thingfrom thebeginntHg. 
 The life of all things is here kjzown : 
 The reward of death to thofe that are rewarded for life. 
 
 iSlone are rewarded but according to their deferts : of the which there are two kinds. 
 I Ihefe are rewarded with death for their wickednejfe. 
 2. So are they rewarded with life for their coniant living. 
 Among]} the Angels there way be err our y and fin may make them fall fnm the hrightneffe of their 
 
 glory. 
 
 But to the Soul of man ( being once glorified ) firiis utterly, yea woft largely oppofite : Neither 
 (hall that disunity ever he loft,ftained, or defaced, that is obtained here With the worker of righte- 
 oufncffe and true wifdom^ 
 
 Whatfoiver hath heen from the beginning X fixce it was faid in Divine Determittatiom, Be it 
 done ) is here inclofed. 
 
 Therefore Ihould this day he Hallowed and Sanctified before the Lord by you. 
 , for if the Prophets , did worfliip this day of his afcenfion , much more ought you (which 
 
 have tailed of the firji, end (kail now tafle of the fecrets of his Judgements ) glorifie his coming : 
 Satan, But with you Satan is bufie j His briftles ftand up, his featljers are caft abroad. 
 
 Therefore watch and pray ; For thofe that go to Banquets put on their upper garments. Ammgji 
 you therefore is no found belief ; Neither do youconftder the fcope of this bleffrdneffe : Butfuch 
 is tljegreatneffe and excellency of his forekjiowledge,that he fuffereth the enemy to carry a burden, 
 yea fometimes to preach upon a Stage : For it is faid, Hejhall triumph unto the end, and flare 
 himfelf here as he would have done above ; Neither fl^all he he thruji out of doors till the end be 
 determined. Therefore watch and pray, and look, about with diligence ; for thofe things Jhall he 
 opened unto you which have no t been difclofed unto the Holy Ones. 
 
 Oh, how hard a thing it is for fiejh to continue in the workj of Jujlice ! 
 
 Tea, oh how hard a thing it is for Wifiom to he acquainted with a hotchpot of filthineffe ? 
 
 Cleanfeyour garmentSyLift upyoiir hearts, and rent your fanlts in pieces, that there may be 
 one heart with one confent, and unto one end, unto him which is One and the End of all things : and

 He prayeth. 
 
 God, Why jhould the people upon earth re'joyce ? or wherein Jhould the pleafnresof their 
 
 fenfual delights be fixed / Why doth the Moon hold her comfe ? or why are the Stars obferving art 
 order? Why are thy people thus Jrattercd abroad ? Bicahfe iniquity hath caught the upper hand. 
 The Doors of our God are polluted with blafvhemy , his Temples defolate, his Commandfnettts vio- 
 lated y^ndh'i^ Glory sccoutited as nothing. But wilt thou fuffer ; or canjl thou hold thy hand 
 from thy great and tnighty^ Jtrokjs t Moji High God, Mojt Mighty God, Mefi Honourable God, 
 have mercy upon thy people ; refped the Creation, ( the Creation I fay ) of thofe, wherein thou hajl 
 delighted. Siffer not the Serpent to extol his head above thy Altars, neither let thy holy Veffelte 
 poifoned with his venome. For thou art Mighty and overcomeji all: and who can rebel againfi 
 thy Prowejfe ? Bend down thy mereiful eyes. Behold this confufitn : look^upon thy "temple and fee 
 the defolation thereof. And then in thy mercy ( ')jl}ew thy felfto be a God, and fuch a merciftd 
 Governour, as hath compafjion upon thofe that are difeafedt yea even unto death. Grant this Catna-

 A, I pray you to declare unto us your name. 
 
 My name is Jubaniadace. 
 
 A. If I (hould not offend yon, I would gladly know of what order you are, or how your 
 lUte is in refpeft o( Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, or Vriel. 
 
 Jub. Vnto men, according unto their deferts, and the firjl excellency of their Soul, God 
 
 hath appointed a good Governour or Al^ge\, from amongll the orders of thofe that are Blejfed : 
 For every Soul that is good, is not of one and the f elf fame dignification ; Therefore according to hif 
 excellency we are appointed as Minijhrs from that order, whereunto his Excellency accordeth : To 
 the intent that he may be brought at laji to fupply thofe places which were Glorified by a former ; 
 And alfo to the intent, that the Prince of Darkjieffe-niight be counterpoifed in Gods Jujiice. A- 
 7»ongli the which I am one which am.the Keeper and t)cfender of this man prefent ; which carry 
 the Triumph and Enfign of Vidories continually, before him, as a reproach to my adverfaries and 
 his, a^td to confirm the dignity whereunto he is called by the prefence of this Charafter. 
 
 £. K. Now he heavcth up the CrofTe. 
 
 I have alfo fealed the fame m his heart : For unto him belong great Viftories , in 
 
 the name, and for the name of his God. The Jews in his time (hdW tifie of this Creffe : And 
 with this CrofTe (hall he overcome the Sarazens, and Paynims : For I will ejiabajhone Faith 
 ( frith the Lord of Jujiice ) That I may be kjiown to be the fame that I was firfi among all people. 
 CMoreover I will open the hearts of all men, that he may have free paffage throrghthem, and will 
 not fuffer hint to periffj with the vioUnce of the wickfd. I will hereafter vilibly appear unto him, 
 andwill fay, Thisis to be done. But a year isnot yet come, and theft things Jhall.be finijhed. 
 But (jhus faith the Lord) I have hindrcd him, becaufe he hearkjted to the provocation of thofe that 
 are wdtnon. And hathconi^ented to thofe that blafphemed my name. Bid him lool^to the

 A, Upon the pending and examining, this prayer G'tbriel revealed unto us, I found certain 
 imperfections, and fome'doubts, wherein we thought it good to ask counfel, and require G<r- 
 briePs advife : That the prayer might be perfeft,as he might well like of to Gods honour and 
 our comforts. At the length : Nothing appearing to the eye, but the noife of a found about 
 E. K. his head, and withall a mighry weight , or mvilible burden on his right ftioulder , as 
 he fate in the green Chair,by the holy Table,or place : And unto certain places of the prayer, 
 which I noted and repeated, thofe words, and anfwers were by G^zirie/ given.

 A. As concerning the infcription, 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 fuch regard : What I have done 
 
 he it dene, fo that your additions be to the honour of God^it is fufficient. The efFeft of his prayer 
 is greater, then is the form. The former is greater then the forming. That is to fay, he that 
 bath formed it, is mightier then any virtue, wherein it is formed. Wherefotver, therefore the mind 
 formethit with you with perfe^ humility and confent, there is alfo the former. As formed of him

 Gab The offence was not thine. Every one mi.li fatisfie, or elfe he fhall be damned. 
 
 A. Good Lord expoimd to us the myflery of fatisfaftion. 
 
 Gab When the Soul ofendeth , and is cbnfenting to wickfdnejfe , he is then to makj a fpiri~

 trite, do true ly fatisfie. Another fatisfaUion there is, which is externil. This fatisfa&ion is to 
 he made for fins committed againji thy Neighbour : For if thou offend thy Neighbour , and do him 
 Vrong, or takjf any thing fiom him, by fraud, or violence., it is a great fin . For this, thou canji never 
 be Contrite if thou make not fatisf action, not onely confefjing it, but in fatisfyinz his defire that is 
 offended, and that with forrow. This is true Voilrine, and (hall never be cvertlsrown^by the fpirits NOTE.

 fo appointed with him,rome tarrying for him in Mortluck^e^ and feme at Brainford ( as was 
 perceived this day afterward, and as he confeflxd unto me. ) Whereupon I thought good to 
 fignifie fomuch unto the Lord Laskje who meant to come and refrefh himfelf at my houfe, 
 as he was wont before ; either this day, or within two or three dayes after ; Who alfo de- 
 lighted in E. K. his company, 6'^c. Hereupon about the time of E.K. his rifing I wrote thefe 
 lines, intending to fend them prefently to the Lord Laskje^ that word might be returned of 
 his intent before £. K. ihould ride, I meaning and hoping to perfwade £. K. to tarry fo long, 
 and upon fuch refpeft.

 This Letter being now written, and not yet folded up, my friend E. K. was ready and 
 came out of his Chamber into my Study ; and I told him,that I was even now fending word 
 to the Prince L/Zi/;,/? of his rideing- out, and return after five dayes 5 and fofliewed him the 
 Letter: who when hecametothe phrafe, ^//</ y/t ipfa Veritas , he was famewhat offended, 
 faying. What fecret meaning hath this, uponfome of your two former conference ? Truly (faid 
 I ) even fuch as thecircumftance of the Letter doth import, that is ; Whereas you faid that 
 you intended to return within five dayes, or at the fame dayes end, it is uncertain whether 
 you will, or (hall, return later or fooner : and therefore ^idfit ipfa Veritas of your return, 
 or intent to return, onely God doth know. He would by no meanes admit that my iincere 
 expofition, but feemed fufpitious of fome other undue conftruftions of thofe former words ; 
 thereupon I took the Letter and tore it in three pieces, and fent none : But in my mind re- 
 ferred all to God his difpofition, affuring my felf of God his moji conftant proceeding in his own 
 affairs. Shortly after faid £. K. to me. Certainly here is a fpiritual Creature in my right 
 Sowle. (houlder, who fsnfibly faith to me, Come away : So ( faid I ) did one fay to Sowle^ when 
 
 Evil fpirits. they would have had him away to have drowned him, whom I flayed in this Study by force, 
 and fo hindered the Devil of his purpofe then ; as appeareth by that unhappy man yet alive. 
 Nay faid E. K. they have told me that if I tarry here,I (hall be hanged ; and if I go with this 
 Prince he will cut off my hcad,and that you mean not to keep promife with me ; And therefore 
 if 1 might have a thoufand pound to tarry, yea a Kingdom, I cannot : Therefore I releafe 
 Fifty pnind you of your promife of 50 pounds yearly Stipend to me,and you need not doubt but God will de- 
 ycarly ftlpend. fend you and profper you, and can of the very ftones raife up children to Abraham : And a- 
 £. K. his wife. S^'" ^ i-'^^MOt abide my wife, I love her not, nay I abhor her ; and there in the houfe I am mifli- 
 ked,becaufe I favour her no better. To thefe, fuch his words fpoken in great pangs and 
 difquietiieffe of mind, I rcpofed and faid, That thtfe his doings and fayings were not of God, 
 and that by my wliole proceeding he might perceive what confidence 1 repofed in his dealing 
 with the fpiritual, our friends, feeing even to the uttermoft penny (and more than my abiUty 
 ferved unto convenienily ) I laid out ftill about the .. .. ming of fuch things, as were by me to 
 bedonc, e&"c. Well, on the fudden, down he went ; upon his Mare, and away toward 
 
 Brainford.

 the chair by my Table where he was wont to lit: And it was ten of the clock then. He 
 took up in his hand the Books which I had brought from London of the L. Lashje^ written 
 to him ill his commendations, d^'.-. And as he was looking earneftly on thetn, a Spiritual 
 Creature did put the Book on the outfide of the parchment cover, divers times ; and once 
 would have taken it cut of his hands : Divers times I heard the ftrokes my felf ; At length

 lE departed from Mortlack^, about three of the Clock after noon : The Lord 
 ■ Albert Lask^y , (Vajwode o( Siradia ,in tolonia) meeting me on the water , as 
 we had appointed: And fo brought night to London j and in the dead of the 
 night, by Wherries, we went to Greenwich to my friend Goodman Fern the Pot- 
 ter his houfe : Where we refrefhed our felves, and thither came a great Tylt- 
 boat from Graves end to take us in, (by appointment of me and Mr. Stanley) to 
 go to our fliips , which we had caufcd to ly fcven , or eight mile beyoud Gr.-.ves 
 end. To which fliips we came on Sunday morning by Sun rife : In the greater of them (being 
 a dubble Fly-boat of DfHWar^) my Lord Laskjey I, and £. K. with my Wife and Children,&c, 
 ' went : And in another fhip (by me alfo hired for this palFage) went fome of my Lord his men, 
 two horfe,&:c, that Ihip was a Beyer, a pretty Ihip. With little windc we ftraight- way hoyfed 
 fayl, and began our voyage in the (hip. 
 
 This 22. day we were in great danger of perifhing (on the fands , called the 5pits) about "^here aiofe 
 midnight.- We had (by force of wmde contrary) anchored by them, and the Anchor came ^.*"'J,'',^"f 
 home, no man perceiving it, till the fhip was ready to ftrike on the fands. Then, upon great ^'^^j^ " ' 
 diligence and poliicy ufcd by our Marrineri in hoyfing fay!, and cutting our Cable, (to leave 
 our fliote anker) and committing our felves to the hands of Cod, and moji eurnejily prajing for 
 a profperouf vinde : It pleafed the Almighty , and moft merciflill God , Suddenly to change the 
 winds, which fervcd us to bear from the fands, and to recover ^inborrough, ba( k again. 
 
 The 23. day (being Munday) we came to the mouth and entrance of ^?KWro»gi& Creifi^, or rj,^ fV'J'-iic 
 Haven. And as we made to land in fmall Fiftier-boats, the Lord Ltfkje.y my Wife and Chil- help oi God at 
 dren in one boat, and 7, with E. K. Marie , Elizabeth^ and John Crokjzr , in another, it fell fo '^^ very m.- 
 out, that at the fliips fide, our Fiiher-boat his fayl-yard and fayl was entangled on the Mayn- ')'" j,°^ danger 
 yard of the Fly-boat (being ftroke down) fo that, in our fettmg from the fhips fide , the top " ^' 
 of our Boat being faft above, and the windes and ftrcam carrying the Boat off below , it in- 
 clined fo much on the one fide, that the one half of the Fifher boat (well near) was m the wa- 
 ter, and the water came foin (by theintangling before fpecitied , notearily to be undone, or 
 loofed) that my Lord, my Wife, and all thatfaw us thought that of necerticy our Boat muft 
 
 fink, and fo, we to have perifht. But God in his providence and mercy had greater of 
 
 us, fo that we becanie clear; the Boat half full of water, fo that we fat wet to the knees , and 
 the water with the billow of the Sea came flill beating in more and more : And in this mean 
 trouble ; one of our two Boat-men, had loft his long Oarc out of the Boat into the water ; and 
 fo not onely we lacked the help of thatOare , but alfo by reafon they would have followed 
 the winde and ebb, for that Oar, (contrary to our courfe in handjand not able to become by) 
 with much adoe we conftrained them with the fayl, our one Oare,and the Rudder to make 
 fuch Oiifc as they could to get to §^inborrougb Town : And in the mean fpace £. K. with a 
 great Gantlet did empty moll part ot the water out of the Boat,elfe it mull needs have funk by 
 all mans reafon. At length(to be brief)we came to the Town fide,up the crooked Creekjwherey 
 when as the Mafter of our fhip would have taken me out in his arms f Handing in the water 
 with his Boots) he fell with me in the water,where I was foul arrayed in the water and Oafc. 
 jGod be praifed for ever, that all that great danger was ended with fo fmall grief , or hurt.

 I ought not to be manifefted or made open to the world r but ferfeclly Jhadowed in Charity^ ■ bearing 
 your own infirmities, and fo the infirmity of others with r/uiet arid hidden minde. For the an- 
 guijh of the foul is compared with prayer, dwelling in one houfe which ought to laugh with tbe'A^orld^ 
 and to weep towards heaven. For every fin is noted, and the lea't thing as well a-.nongji the Cele-

 makjng it apt and ready to beholci the heavens, receive glorious illiiminationSy and finally Iringetb

 JanUified in his fiefh, through niildneffe, and vpas mt of this world, becaufe he was the mildneffe'of 
 his Father. Therefore be yon meek^: Be fervent in meekjtfffe. Then Jhall you takeup tb^zt

 temning the World y u fly the delight therein : refainingfom pleafures of the body , Temperating 
 the flejhy and m.rkjng it weak^, and that, for the L:rd his fake. For the fleJh and fpirit rejoyce 
 Hot at once. Neither can the full belly grone out true prayers. Feed therefore the Soul with the 
 love of our fociety. And bridle your flejh ; For it is infolent. One thing, I fay, look^ to your fer- 
 vants. See, that in one houfe there dwell not delighters in vertue and holineffg , mingled 
 with ftich Of harbour vice vpon vice : Whofe drunksnntffe is abomination, and whofe diet jiir- 
 reth up fornication. For wick^edneffe is aniongji them : and they fear »ot God ,neith r do they 
 abjiain, according as the holy Ghoji by his Church hath taught. Maks them clean : Ihen fhall 
 you feel oxr pre fence among li you. And we will all of us defend you from the rage of wick^dneffe. 
 We delight in the Go i of truth , and inthe worjhippers of Jujiice. Jbus fayeth the holy Gholi : 
 Loy I have made me a Tabernacle, where the Cod of G.ds reigneth in Jujlice. And I will fanSife 
 thofe places which rejoyce in charity. Mingle therefore your Alms with charity. And let jour 
 prayers and fajiing be mingled with Alms deeds. For he that prayeth and falleth without mercy, it 
 a lyar. Moreover, let your friendfhip he fuch, as if of charity , and not of thit world : Neither for 
 the worlds fak^e, but for the fervice of God : All fiendfhip elfe it vain, and of no acctmt. Charity 
 it the gift '.f theH'ly Gho'i, which Holy Ghoji it a kindling fire , knitting things together , through 
 Chrijt Jefus ; in the true wif-iom of the F ather : Which fire it of no fmall account, neither to be rec- 
 koned of , as the Heathens have done. For happy are thofe which are fed with charity: For it it 
 the meat of lu that are anointed, which it the fon of God, and the light tf the world.

 hath any thingywherein his bowels can rejoyce ? JVhtrein can he determine happinejfe lo himfelf? 
 
 Or how canbe compare himfelf with the trees that are fruitful ? If the life of vtan be Jin, then . 
 
 is it hateful. But who is he that hateth it ? But even he which is above, and is fartheji: from ini-

 hated of GQd,wbofe ferviceis Jujlice, and who fe delight Peace. Cenfider therefore the Mercies 
 
 vf God, through his loving kjndnejfe towards thy weakjieffe : And ack^novrledge his Power which 
 
 jiiakeththofe iirongwhich have no force of thenifehfs. Gather not up your own inventions ; But 
 
 be faithful fervants,perforntiHg the will of him which fandifieth you with obedience : for of dufi 
 
 you are become fiefh, and of fieJJj the fervants of fin ; that at length you might be made freey . 
 
 through your own confents in the mercies of him which hath entred into your weakjteffe, and weighed 
 
 out his blood for your Redemption : Even he which hath payed the iittermofi penny of your Ranfonie. 
 
 And why ? Nn to the intent you Jhould brag of your felves. But hath charged in conditienyou 
 
 Jhould maintain juliice into tbeworkj of Righteoufnejfe. Vnto whom is Heaven a feat ? britunto 
 
 fuch as are faithful fervants: Wherein the Dignity of your Majler is kjtown, of whom it is f aid,

 of your Majler, Be thankful for it, and conftder his liber alitie : And how much the more he openetb

 in and corrupt your garments : for Pride is the dephoffin .... Ceafe not to rehuKf the dijhonour-

 edyou for others. And hath Jlrengthened you with Authority, "the Rod of his Juilice. Generally 
 
 thefe things have been fpok^n unto youy and thefe Leffons are not yet to learn : But happy are thofe 
 
 whom God fanSfifiethi beingunholy, Andten times hleffed are the Temples wherein his Holineffe 
 
 dwelleth. True it is as thoufayeji : Generally men are fan&ified , the people of the Earth ihrough 
 
 all Nations, myjtical/y : through the mercies of God : But where the fan&ifieation agreethmt 
 
 with the thing fandified, there eMreth wick_edueffe. The Spirit of God is not fan&ified in Hell, 
 
 Neither is his holy Temple beaiMj^ed with the feet of the unrighteous. It is ivritten,, Dogs honour 
 
 not bread, neither defiled place's things that are holy : For as Hell dijhonoureth Heaven, in re- 
 
 fped of unrighteoufnejfe : So, thofe that are wicked dijhomur the vertuous, and fuch as are tritely ' 
 
 holy,by fociety : and they jlink^of their wickjsdnejfe. For it is Written, And Satanwent from the 
 
 prefenee of the Lord, leaving a flinh^behind him. The light of the Sun is ta^en from the Earth, 
 
 by the congealed cloud. The fins of the people, and filthincffe of places, are put between vertue and 
 
 the things Sacramental. Therefore, it is not true) that thou maycft lawfully call upon the . 
 
 Name of God in unhallowed places. 
 
 A. 1 crave pardon for my ignorance, and errour herein : But I required not to know of 
 the heavenly Myiteries ; Onely fueh thin^^s I demanded information of,which not onely were 
 above humane power toanfwer, ( and fo might feem worldly myfteries ; ) but alfo the true 
 good news of them, might, many ways, be comfort unto us and ours. 
 
 Behold iaifrael, the rough (tones are acceptable Altars, And the flinkjng Caves have been 
 
 known unto the Lord. And why s" Becaufe the place was holy, neither this filthinejfe here, nor of 
 any thing elfe created, hindreth: But the filthineffe of the place and Country wherein thy are de- 
 filed; for inpure places, the defiled are bleffed. David fanUified Szn\, with the prefenee of his 
 Annointing, and his Harp fpake out the wonders of the Lord- PVe come unto youhere,becaufe the

 creat Study Jibove, feemed to £. if. clouds to appear, far off, as at a quarter of a miledi- 
 ftance. Then appeared a Sea, endlefle oneway, and a Haven mouth with a River which 
 fell or ran into that mouth. And befides that River doing down into the Haven, did an- 
 other 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 Qliickfilver. Now cometh a moun-

 in the Sea- His right leg feemeth gold, and his left leg lead. The moun- 
 tain ftandeth before him. His legs are like two pofts, of the fubftance 
 of the Rainbow- He is very high: he hath a face, but with many eyes 
 andnofes,butnotdiftin(ftlyto bcdifccrned. His body feemeth to be red 
 Braffe. He ftandeth with his arms abroad, and no hands appear. His 
 right arme is of the colour of filver i Bis left arme feemeth to be black,

 appeared, they are forced ( by the Covenant of God delivered by his fpirit) to render o- 
 bedience and faithful fociety. IFherebt, they will open the myfteries of their creation, as far 
 as fjadhe neceffary : and give you underftanding of many thoufand ferrets^ wherein yen are yet

 Be you therefore diligent that you 7nay enter in, not as fpoilers, but as fitch asdeferve intertain^

 fuch as have faith. This is therefore the key of the firft feven, according to the proportion of the

 ]\ft?er divers Ejaculations appropriate to theaftion, and the Curtain of white water yet 
 remaining, E. K. thought divers times that he faw through the white Veil, and ftone 
 and all, nothing appearing therein. £, K. immediately fell into a new doubting of the ve- 
 liry of thefe anions, and faid he liad a Vilion by a good Creature the lalt night , vvho faid 
 thefe Creatures with which we dealt, would no more appear unto htm. Hereupon he faid 
 that both the lafl dayes skorner,and thefe our inflruftors were all Devils : and that he would 
 110 more (it to receive A. B.C. And fo by Letters, any Doftrine of theirs, untefTe they would 
 otherWife exprefly, and lively deliver a plain rule thereof : With many other arguments to 
 difprove the verity of our Aftions, whereupon he faid, that John your boy can well enou<Th 
 deliver you their Letters, and fo you need not me,&c. I referred all to God , his will, and 
 mercies : For. as 1 had at his hands onely, and by his order, and for his fervice required wih 
 dom and true k^iowledge, fo do I not doubc but God will, according to hi> accuftonied good- 
 ucfTe, provide for me, that Is belt for my vocation here in earth,e^c. 
 
 E. K. He rofc, and went away : and left me alone in my Study , ap- 
 pointed for thefe actions. 
 
 Dens in adjutorium meum intende^Vomine ad adjuvandum me feftina. Gloria Patri (^

 Thurfday, Circa 9. . 
 
 As I was in my upper Study , and had gathered the holy words of the fecond and thir4 
 
 call, and had conferred them with tlieir Englijh delivered alfo unto us : £. K. came up the 
 
 flairs, andfo went into his Study, and came out again,and as he was gointj down the flaires I 
 
 opened my Study door, and faluted him : He thereupon came up again , and came into 
 
 my Study : And there I ftiewed him vvhat I had donej and how I had fome under- 
 
 ftanding of thofe holy words, their fignifications by reafon of due applying the EnglijJj 
 
 to the word Chriftus, intending thereby to have induced E.K. to like the better of the 
 
 mannerof our friends, duc,and Methodical, proceeding with us, and told him that unlefTe of 
 
 thisftrangc language I Oiould have thefe words delivered unto us Letter by Letter, we might: 
 
 crre both in Orthography, and alfo for want of the true proiuniciation of the wo)ds,and di- 
 
 ftinftions of the points, we might more miile the effeft expefted : But as on Juefdaj lafl; , fo 
 
 now again he faid, our Teachers were deluders, and no good,or fufficienc Teachers,vvho had 
 
 hot intwoyears fpace made us able to underftand, or do fomewhat : and that he could in two 
 
 years have learned all the feven Liberal fciences, if he had firft karned Logick , &c. where-i- 
 
 fore he would have no more to do with them any manner of way,wifhed himfelf in EngUndy 
 
 and faid that if thefe books were his, that he would out of hand bum them , and that he had 
 
 written to my Lord (by Pirniis') that he took ouf Teddhers to be deceivers, and wicked, and 
 
 no good Creatures of God, with many fuch fpceches, and realons ('as he thought) of force 
 
 to difwade himfelf from any, more dealing with them : But willed me to ufe John my Boy as 
 
 my Skryer, for that thefe fpiritual Creatures were not bound unto h\m,&c. 1 anfwered unto 
 
 all thefe parcels and reafuus, as rime ferved declaring mj perfeU truji in G5«/,thac feeing I have 
 
 many years delired 3 and prayed for wifdorueCfu ch as the!e Actions import) at his hands, 
 
 and by fuch means as to his Divine Majefty feemeth beft, that he would not either mijlikf my 
 
 prayer, or abufe my Conftant hope in his goodneUe and mercy : Therefore / concluded that 
 
 1 referred all to the mercifull will of God, and doubted nothing at the length to be fatif- 
 
 fied of my requeil , and prayer made unto him. So he went from me this fecond time. ... 
 
 God lighten his heart with knowledge of the truth, if it be his Divine will and pleafure. 
 
 Note. Permis went on lafl: Wednefday morning, and had received our Letters after 
 noon^onTuefday lail : But on Monday before the wicked Prince of darkueffe did what he 
 conid to hinder our proceeding. 
 
 . On Thurfday, labius (brother to my Lord Laskje his wife) brought news to Cracovia, that

 E. K. By Attgnji next ? 
 
 What if it were a hundred Augiifts ? you may he a weary before Auguft next, as the Childrea 
 of Jfrael were of their Manna* 
 
 E. K. Why joyn you numbers with thefe letters, and added none 
 with thofc of the former Table. 
 
 Brother, what is the caufe that all the World is made by numbers? "the Numbers we fpeak, 
 of, are of reafonand form, a fid not of merchants.

 niiiiifter of this aftion ? I befeech you fo to anfwer, the thing, as his reafon may bfr 
 fatisfied. 
 
 A. They gave no anfwer hereunto, but proceeded in the former matter of Numbers. 
 
 Gab Every Letter fignifieth the member of the ftihjlance whereof it fpeaketh. Every' 
 
 word f.gnifieth the quiddity of the fubjlance. The Letters are feparated, and in confufion : a>iil1 
 f/!)frf/orf J are by numbers gathered together ; which alfo gathered fignifie a number; for of- 
 every greater containeth his hffer,fo are the fecret and unkii'jwn forms of things kjiit up in their 
 parents : W^here being known in number, they are ealily diftinguifhed,/o that herein we teach 
 places to be numhred : letters to be elected from the numhred, and proper words front the letters^ 
 fignifyingfubjtantially the thing that is fpokfn of in the center of his Creator, whereby even as the- 
 riinde of man moved at an ordered fpeech, and is eafily perfwaded in things that are tru« , /»* 
 are the creatures of Cod ftirred up in themfelves, when they hear the words wherewithal they 
 were nurfed and brought forth; For nothing moveth, that is not perfwaded : neither can any 
 thing be perfwaded that is mtkjtown. ?lEif Creatures of God underhand ycu not, jon are not 
 ef their Cities : you are become enemies, becanfe you are feparated from him that Governeth the 
 City by ignorance. 
 
 E. K. Whether is this Language known in any part of the World 
 or no ? if it be,where and to whom ? 
 
 Gab Man in his Creation, being made an Innocent, was alfo author ifed andmade p ir- 
 
 taker of the Power and Spirit of God : whereby he not one/y did kjiow all things under bts Crea-,^ 
 
 tion and f poke of them properly, namingthem as they were : hut alfo was partaker of our prefeucc, 
 
 andfociety,yea afpeakprofthe myjleries of God; yea, with God hinifelf : fo that in innoctncj the 
 
 power of his part ak.ers with God, and m hit good Angles, was exalted^ and fo became holy in the 
 
 fight of God until that Coionzon (for fo it the true name of that mighty Devil") envying hit 
 
 f elicit), and perceiving that the fubjiance of hit Ifffer part was frail and imperfea in refpea of his 
 
 pure Effe, began to affail him, and fo prevailed : that offending fo became accurfed inthe fight of 
 
 God ; and fo loji the Garden of felicity, the judgement of h js iinderftanding ; but not utterly 
 
 the favour of God , and was driven forth (^ as your Scriptures record) unto the Earth which was 
 
 covered with brambles : where being as dumb, and not a'hlet')fpeak_,he b.-gan to learn of necejjitj

 E. K. Gabriel fitteth, and Nali/age ftandeth. 
 
 Gab. My Brethren hearl{en to myvoice,for I am the truefervar.t of the God of Abraham, 
 
 \^Z2iC, and ]3iC6\3.i the dignity whereof is fufflrient both for the verity of the Vo&rine, and the 
 confirmation, and perfwafion of your mindes : for as God is the Father of the Faithful, fo hejlteweth 
 himfelfunto the faithful : whereby yon may prwe the great comfort and confjlattni : that you may 
 jujily gather of the mercies of God, as touching your Eleiiion. 
 
 For at what time hath God appeared unto the unrighteous ? or where do you read that ever he 
 ■vifited the rej^robate ? for the reprobate hath no vifitation, but in the rod of Jufiice : 
 
 But you may rife up amongyonr felves, faying lo, we are f reward, ws want faith. ^nobjeaion, 
 
 . True it is,the aas of faith, but not the i-oits of faith. But I fay unto you, that the power 0/ /Infvrcr. 
 God in his Election, is the Bafis of mans purity and acceptation. 
 
 But here there is a (faveat. 
 
 That man imagining his Predellination and perfect Ele&ion , juftifieth not himfelf ; for 
 vherefoever this is found,or this Doctrine preached amongji you, either fimply in man, or publickjy in 
 Congregation, it is the fure fign and token of their perpetual ignorance and confufion : For the 
 Will and Tower of God beloiigeth not to our meafure ( for it was the cattfe of rebellion atnongjt us ) 
 much lejfe amongmcn, which are fighting yet for the Glory of their reward. Behold it is a fin in 
 him that judgeth of his brothers Confcience ', Much more is it a threefold error, to form the inia- 
 j ginations of fin, by whpfe imaginations they are. 
 
 Be not proud therefore of the gifts of God, but become humble; Neither JHjtifie ymrfelfinre- 
 fpeU that this is the word of God delivered unto yoti for your own f elves : But the more you receive, 
 , kethe more thankful j and the more you be in the jirength of God, the more nfe yon the pureneffe of 
 humility. 
 
 Of wkomit is faid. Behold nty Spirit hath entred, yea iftto my fervants, and tbey are become 
 humble and meek. i>i the fight of men : But if we be the fervants of the God of Abraham, then are q^^ , g|,

 and we are become mighty in the power of the Almighty. Therefore ought we to be 
 believed. 
 
 ' itow if you will confeffe your felves to be the children of Ahr4^^m,tben muft you alfo accept of our 
 Vocirine : For the meat whereby Abraham Vved, is the fame food ws miniiier unto you : of whom

 E. K. There appear here, j other like Priefts, all in white, having; 
 L long hair hanging down behind : their white garments traile after 
 ^ them : having many pleits in them. Me think that I have fccn x)ne of

 H waft behind: The Letters feem to "go up and down enterchangeably 
 D in places. There feemeth an V on him, alfo an N, a D. 
 ^ Nowcometh atallmanby, all in white, and a gicat white thing 
 
 rowled about his neck, and coming down before like a lippet. They 
 ^11 in the Stone ( being 9 ) kneel down unto him. 
 
 The tall man faid Tal{e this Key^ and pojper : afccnd and fill thy 
 
 fejfelj for the River is not pure-, and made clean. 
 
 E.K. Now he is gone ( that faid this ) in form of a great Millftone 
 of fire. 
 An Hill. E. K. Now they go up a Hill , with a great Tankard , as it 
 
 were, of Bone tranfparent i Now he openeth one door, he,I meanjtJiat 
 had the Letters on his back. 
 
 1. There appeareth a Partridge,but it hath one leg like a Kite : This 
 Partridge feemeth to fit on a green place under the gate, one leg is 
 much longer than the othcr,being like a Kites leg. This Partridge feem- 
 eth to halt. 
 
 He biddeth one of his.Company take it up. There goeth a bridge 
 to the top of that Hill, all upon arches, and under it goeth a Pviver. 
 
 He taketh the Partridge and pulleth all his feathers, • and they fall 
 into the River : Hecutteth ofFthe longer leg juft to the lengih of the 
 other. They about him cry, O juft judgement. 
 
 Now he turneth him off over the Bridge, and he flyeth away, for the 
 feathers of his wings were not pulled. 
 
 2. He goeth on, and (t)meth to another gate ^ and there the third 
 man unlocketh it, as the fecond next him unlocked the iirft Gate i he 
 hiinfelf having the Key firft delivered him, as above is noted. There 
 appeareth a thing like a Kite, all w^hite, very great, it hath a fowl great 
 head, he feemeth to be in a very plcafant Gaitlen, and fl) eth from plac^ 
 to place of it, and beateth down the Rofe trees and other fruit trees. 
 The Garden feemeth very delicate and pleafant. They go all into the 
 Garden : and he faith, Thou art of the Wildernefle, thy feathers and 
 carkafe are not worthy the fpoil of the Garden. . 
 
 Now the Kite fcratcheth and gafpeth at this man •■, but he taketh the 
 Kite and cutteth her carkafe in two equal parts, from the crown of hi§ 
 head, and throweth one half over one fide of the Bridge, and the other 
 half-over the other fide, and faid, Fowles mufi: be devoured of Fowles,

 the lame Bridge ilill. ) The reft of the building from the Gate in- 
 ward, feemeth very round and bright : yet there appear no windows 
 in it. It is a frame, made as though the 7 PJanets moved in it. The 
 Moon feemeth to-be New Moon. 
 
 There ftandeth Armour,and this man putteth on, all white Harnefi^. 
 He feemeth to kick down the Moon, and her frame or Orb ; and feem- 
 eth to make powder of all i For there is no mercy here^ faith he. 
 
 4. Now another of them goeth forward to another Gate, and open- 
 eth the Gate, and goeth in ; there appear an infinite multitude of mqn. 
 There fitteth amancloathed like a Prieft, havinga great Crown on 
 his head: here are many preaching in this place. He goeth to that 
 Crowned P)ieft,and he takcth away divers patches of the Vefture which 
 he had, and the patches feemed to be like Owls, and Apes, and fuch 
 like. 
 
 He faith A King is a King^anda Prieft is a Prieji. 
 
 He taketh from the reft their Keyes and Purfes, and giveth them a 
 Staff'and a Bottle in their hiinds. He goeth from them. He putteth 
 all that he took from them in a houfe befide the Gate, and writethon 
 the door, Cogtiofcat qujfque fuum. ?„J5°',^ 
 
 Nowthey proceed to another Gate, and another of them opened that 
 Gate. The Bridge continueth ftill, afcending upward. Now there 
 appeareth ( that Gate being opened ) a marveJlous great Wildernefle. 
 There cometh a great number of naked wilde men to him. He Jfha- 
 keth that Gate with his hands, and it falleth in pieces, one falleth on 
 one fide into the River, and the other falls on the other fide into the 
 River, '-'''' 
 
 Let both thefe places be made one. Let the fpoil of the firft,be th^omfcrt of 
 
 the la'i : For from them that have Jhalt be takjri, and unto them that have notjhall 
 be given. 
 
 6. E. K. Now he goeth, and the laft of his Company openeth an- 
 other Gate ; he is longer in opening of that Gate,than any of the reft. • 
 
 There appeareth a buihy place, and there runneth a great River on 
 the very top of the Hill,and a great Gate ftandeth beyond the Hill,and 
 a Very rich Tower all of precious Scones, as it feemeth. 
 
 Here he filleth his Tankard in the River, and holdeth his hands up, 
 and maketh fhew as he would return. 
 
 He faid This was my coming., andfboidd be my return. 
 
 E. K. Now they appear fuddcniy before the firft Gate, and there 
 the Principal man diggeth the earth, and putteth ftones and brambles, 
 and leaves afide. There he taketh out a dead carkafe, and bringeth it 
 to a fire, and ftroketh it : a very lean carkafe it is j it feemeth to be a 
 dead Lion i for it hath a long tail with a bufli at the end. 
 
 He faith . .... Come let us take him up^ and comfort him j for it is in 
 him. 
 
 Now the Lion feemeth to fit up and lick himfelf, and to drink of the 
 v^rater, and to ihake himfelf, and to roar. The man taketh of the fegs

 cer prayers, appeared Gabriel and Nalvage, with the Table, and 
 Gdirif/ with his Dart in his hand. Moreover there appeared the 
 like furniture of Table with a white Cloth, a Candleftick, and Ta- 
 per on it, with a Desk and Cufhions ( which I had caufed to be made 
 with red croflcs on them : ) alfo £. if. hiralelf and I apjjeared.^in 
 the fame Stone. In effeft, all things as we had before us , after half 
 a quarter of an hour, that ftiew of our furniture, ^ad our fclvas, 
 difappeared. 
 
 E.K. Gabriel ftandeth up,and fpeaketh as followeth. 
 
 J mighty Citj was built on the top of a mouHtain, in the which dwelt many thovfands. 
 
 Round about the Hil\ ran a frejh E iver, which was the onely comfort of the Town : for, of it they 
 drank.y 'heir wives, their children, their vtan-jervants, their ntaid-fervants, their canteh, horfes, 
 vmles, and a!Lthe beafis of their fields. The beginning of which River was a Spring, which wot un- 
 known to the city, by reafon of the . . yth front whence it defce»ded. It came to pajje, that a Ser- 
 pent groaned for her time, and lo, jhe brought forth : and . . . were fuch as her felf: and Jhe lifted 
 up her bead and leaned upon'her twice writhen taile : and beheld the Sun jiedfajlly, (" for her envy 
 •fPM toward that City ) and /befaid within her felf : My children are yet young, the timegrew,and 
 they became big : and Jhe went unto the Spring, and fmiled and faid with a laughing voice. The 
 Earth is faUen into thee, thou art cbokfd : but hearken unto my voice, Thoufhalt receive comfort z 
 JiMt /he would not. And jhe lifted up her voice and roared ; for Jhe was. full of craft and deceit. 
 And Jhe faid unto the Jhingles, through the which the Spring runs Qor rather fyeth ) "thou art full of 
 emptineffe, and void places. Let my children ('therefore') bide themfelves within thee for a. feafon : 
 and they were contented; And Jhe departed willingly, and faith within her felf: NjW I kjtow I 
 (hall be Lady of the City, 
 
 And after a few years, the young Serpents became great ', fo that the one half of their bodies 
 dwelt within the Shingles,the reji troubled the paffige of the Spring : So that the Spring groaned 5 
 for, the injury that wm done againii h^r, wm ere at. 
 
 A great mifery, for the Hill is become defolate without the water, and the City and the beajis 
 perijh for want of drinks ; f'/r the people groan, and are fud of forrow. 
 
 . This City and Serpents are 60.. now, and judgement muji be had, betwixt the Shingles and the 
 Spring . for between lieth the life and death of the City. 
 
 Thus faith the Lord unto thee [ pointing to E. K.'] Gird up thy felf , and fit down, Confidef 
 loth parts, and give judgement : for thy mouth Jhall this day be the judgement of the Lord. 
 
 E. K. Do you mean me ^ 
 
 • • 
 
 E. K. As the Lord hath put the Authority of Judgement into my 
 hands, fo I befeech him to give me wifdom and underftanding to judge 
 right. And becaufe the judgement hereof is committed to me, I fuf- 
 ped fome other myftery to ]i>; hidden in this my judgement required : 
 But if it Ihall pleafe God that my friend here, Mafter Dee ihall give me 
 his advifc, I fha!l think my felf well fatisficd. 
 
 C on fid er With your felf Q faith tbf Lord) and give judgement againdthe Shingles, for 
 
 the fault is plain. Consider two points,the necejit} of the Spring, that it muji come that wayes : 
 and fecondly, the health of the City. 
 
 E. K. My judgement is that the Shingles and Serpent fliould here* 
 moved av^'av by an Earthquake from the place which they encumber 
 and let, that there mav be a fit new place, and courfe for that Spring? 
 to the relief of that City as before it was.

 J replied, and faid, ) am very gUd that you have a Book of your own, wherein thefe Geogra-;

 imknown and unheard of n?.mes, of feven letters every one : whereby they ( our Inftruftors I 
 niean ) are very greatly to be thanked, and to be deemed (in all reatbnable mens judgements) 
 nioft friendly, and far from cofcnage, or ahuiing of us : And farther I faid, that I my felf, had 
 here fetdownona paper, all the pi names together orderly, as wc received thern, and that ?i. Names of 
 I had here brought the defcription * Geographical of the whole earthly Globe: and alfo the world or 
 Pffw/'ow/w cJJ^c/'i fet forth in Englifh with the Chartes thereunto belonging, fairly defcribed ^^'^.''''y 'i*''^- 
 by hand : To the intent he might fee the verity of their words ycfterday delivered unto us: "g °r"'riw u- 
 for the performance of my requeft made to them, onTuefday laft in this form of words, as nivcrfal Chare 
 the Book hach it recorded thus ; of the World. 
 
 A. As you gave us atafte, or warning o^ Italia and Britania, fo, if it be thought good 
 to you, we aredelirous to undcrftand of the reji y the Application to fuch names as we 
 under(iaitd. 
 
 Whereby you may perceive ( faid I to E. K. ) how your rcafon is marvclloufly confounded 
 by your wilful phantalie : For fo much as, wherein you would find fault, in ourfpiritual " 
 
 Inftruftors doings, Therein they hare done that which I requefted them .• asappearcth ; and 
 that to the intent, of known Countries we might undcrftand which Angels had the govern- 
 ment : for fuch puipofes, as occafion might offer or require ourpraftices to betryed in. 
 
 This ( (juotb / ) is to groflc your error, and to wilful your wrangling : But I do in nar- 
 rower points perufe and confider their words and doings ; In which though fometimes my 
 ivriting^ ( after your declaration ) hath been amended by them, yet the occafion of niifwrit- 
 ting for the molt parr, hath been either in yourmifreporting what you faw and heard, or 
 in my wrong hearing, or writing : and fometime by the fpiritual prcfent corrcfting of my 
 writing, and fometime longer after, &c. 
 
 But for all this, E. K. remained of his wilful intent; and fo departed to his Study a^ain : 
 And I committed God his Caufe, into his own hands,care and ordcringjas niay be beft for his 
 honour and glory. So be it.

 r^Ort'Friday, and efpecially Saturday, E. K. had great Temptations not to credit this 
 Aftion, and was faid unto by a voice, how our Inlhuftors would ufe cavillation of our dif- 
 ordered life, to forfake us, and not to perform, according to our fxpeftacion of the former 
 proniifes to be performed by them. 
 
 A Voice faid, likewife, to him, that A. L. fhould not go to the Emperours Court, for lack 
 6f money : for hf lliould get none here. Likewife, ic willed him to go up iiuo his Study 
 and he would fliew him all thettfeft of our Inftruftions received. E. K- complained to me 
 how he was thus grcivoufly molefted by fuch means^and almoft brought in defpair. But I com- 
 forted him as well as 1 could ( my felf being inwardly, moft forrowful } and made my moane 
 to God by prayer when I was alone : for him, and our Caufe. Moreover he could not be 
 ^crfwaded by me that ^ood Angels would undertake to help u; zo any relief by money or trea- 
 fiirc : affirming that it appertained to the vviclced ones : feeing they were th& Lords of this 
 World ; and thekin.'^domof God was not of this World,©"!;. .... Said,thac tlie wicked were 
 ili'ttie world, and of the world ; but the Eleftwere in the world, but not of the jyorli.

 Then A. L f .ught in Davids Pfaker for the eleventh Pfalni, and fixceenth vcrfc thereof.- 
 and while he Avas fo about that Pfalm, The voyce faid that he meant not that Pfalm of Da- 
 Tid, but the eleventh Pfalm of Reffenfn : which Pfalm the Lord A. L- was then in reading to 
 E. K. and was about the verfe. Hie labor ac dolor, 8ic. being the fixth verffi. 
 By and by after, the voyce faid in EngUJh.

 A. Nota. Sathanx aftutum & violentitm Stratagema. 
 
 A. There was great difquietnefle in E. K- being come home from our Hofts hoiife, where 
 he had Ij en all night upon a form : by reafon he had been (which lie never was r!ie like aforej 
 as he faidj wicn uuie overcome- fudcknly :yec intending with hiinfelf to take heed of being 
 qferihot in drinking of wine : being rcqueftcd by the Hoftes togiveher a cjuarc of wuie 
 upon the i-;ood baigainhehad inat^lock he bought of her for five Suckats: In this company 
 of drinking was /i/<x..-«,!/tr, the Lord L.)ii;;e his fervant, wiio came with Us 16 Frage. L[nto 
 whom E. K. ( wiien the drink on the fudden had overcome iiim^ faid he would cut off his 
 head, and with his walking flaftcdid toich him fair, and fofcly on the neck , fitting before 
 him : Tin's Alexander benig half drunken himlelf , by be by took tucfe words in great fnufFe, 
 and went to defend himfclf , and fo took his weapon to him,and there' pon they by caufed 
 Alexander to go down : It was fupper time ; and J that night retiained to fiippe, and fo tarry- 
 ing at my Lodg ng, and lookmg our, faw Alexander litting on the great Hone againfl: our 
 Lodging : f called to him, and told him that they were at fupper : And he came over to me, 
 .«and he had wept much ; he complained cf E. K. his former words, and the touch of the ftaffe, 
 iiovv it was againfl: his credit to take that in good part , and ipake many Souldicrs terms of 
 I -ftout words, not worthy the recording. I, thereupon went to our Hofts houfe, and woidd un- 
 ;derftand the very truth ; and there 1 found E. K. fafl on fleep on a form, moll foundly : for 
 ;which I was right forry ; /And yet better plealed to perceive the words of EiC, which fo 
 moved Alexander (being half drunk'en) to have been fpok en by E. K. when wme , and noc 
 wit,.bare rule : and fo pleaded long time with Alexander, that of words fpol'^en fo m- they were, 
 no ftich exaH account was to be given to him, &c. And after two hours perfwafion caiifel 
 Alexander to go to bed in our Lodging, where he ufed to lye. For he would have gone outj, 
 
2 30 (fj true Illation of D^^ Dee his Mions wh ffirits, &c. 
 
 to our former Inne, in thofe raging half diunken pangSjhc was in : vrhich I thought noc good. 
 This M>nday morning E /f. coining honis, and {ec'mg AUxandery as he came in ; he fai^, 
 they teiU lliould have fpoken words, which greatly otfended thee yefternight, and that I 
 touched thee with my ftaff,d^c■. I know nothin^of it, and (hokc hands friendly witii A/ex- 
 ander. \Nt\\ (zxiy^ A'exiinder,Si fni^et a'i'H^ Uc. E K. came up to me : I told him how 
 forty I was for this mifchance, and told him of the Watchmen perceiving Alexander his dif- 
 qiiiec nitii I, and hearing his word?, they came to me and charged me to have a care of the 
 peace keeping ( as they did indeed ) And farther faid, that Alexander in his rage, faid, thic 
 rather, ot before, he IhonH cut oiF his head, that he would cut £ . K. in pieces. So foon as 
 1 had cxprelTed that word of ct\\s drunken A''xa>i{er likewife, ( whom now I faw qtiier, and 
 E. K. alloquiet) fudienly E. K. fell into fiicti a ra-^e, that he would be revenged of him for ■

 complained of injury and violence done unto me, by foul Ilanders, and that, at his Honours 
 Table : ( to which his Honour, in my behalf had replied : and therefore moft humbly, and 
 lincerely I did thank him) I faidthat theEmperous Majefty himfclf could bear me witnefTe,

 (hewed him Librum Prugenfemfive C^fareum ; and moreover Litrirn decimi'n, ( whole former

 Thurfday, Septembris 27. t Pragae. 
 
 Mane :• About 7. of the clock came Dr. Cnrtz his fervant from his Mafler to tell me, 
 that his Mailer would come unto me at 9 of the c'ock. ^' ^'<"'^* 
 
 At p of the clock came Dr. Ctrtzon horfeback to me, to my lodging (at Doftor Hagec^ 
 hishoufe by BftWeew ) my wifehe faluted, and little IC^f^rfwzf, my daughter. Mv. Kei/y 
 had gotten him into his chamber, not willing to be feen. 
 
 After he was come up into my little Study, and there fet, in Mr. Ke/(y his ufual place, and 
 I in mine ; I began to complain of the great injury done unto me here ; for I came as a fin- 
 cere and faithful fervitour of the Emperour his Majefty, intending all goodnefle and honour 
 unto him : no hindrance, loflc or hurt ; neither came I propter div/tias C£faris mihi coUigen- 
 daSf as Ifaid expreffely unto his Majefty. I was, before 1 came hither, of good name and 
 fame, both in this Court,and all Europe over. As you your felf Mr. Doftor ; quoch I ) can bear 
 me witneffe : and other in this Court divers : And that here my namtand fame (hould fuf- 
 fer fhipwrack, where I thought I had been in, a fure Haven of my principal Patrone : My 
 thinketh that great in jury is done luito me : I know no means how to help it, but to give 
 you warning of the envious malitious backbiters that alfo are about this Court, that as you 
 find occafion, you might encounter'with this evil, and foul monfter, in fo mighty a Princes 
 Caufe intruding it felf. 
 
 The Doftor feemed not to know what I meant, I told him, that at a Noble-mans Table^ 
 There was, of great account,who faid, that there was an Englijh m.ui,come to the Emperours, 
 A hankjrupt Alchimijiy a Conjurer, and Necromantiji : who had fold his own goods,, and g'ven the 
 Lord Laskie the money : and that hehad beguiled him : and that now he would fain get fonts of 
 the Emper our his money front him, ?:cc. The Doftor feemed greatly to milltke thefe llanderous 
 words, and faid, that he never heard of any Inch ; with fome few words more, of the wicked 
 manner of backbiters. 
 
 , After this, as concerning the report making to the Emperour, of that I had fhewed unto 
 liim, at his houfe, (as before is noted ) he faid that he had made a plain and lincere report. 
 Whereuntothe Emperours Majefty, had ( as yet ) given no anfiver. .And to be plain with 
 
 fou ( faid he) his Majefty thinketh them almoft either incVedible, or impoilible : and would 
 ave fome leafure to coniider of them : and is defirous to have ilie fight of thofe Latine A- 
 ^Uiens you Jhevoed wf, or a Copy of them, and efpecially, of that, wliich containeth a para" 
 ■ fhrafis of the Apolh/icai Creed. I anfwered, that my Books I would not deliver out of my 
 glands: And as for a Copy of them, I would (atleaCure) write it, that his Majefty might 
 pave it. And then I told him farther, that becaufe it was fo long before I heard any word of 
 nim, I had letters ready to fend to the Emperours Majefty,to have farther declared my mind 
 unto him, and I declared unto him the tenor of them : and he told me that about three of the 
 clockafcer noon, his man ftionld go to the Court, and if then 1 would fend them, his man

A true delation of D^ Dee his Jciions xvithffints, &c. 2 5!$ 
 
 Fryday, Odohrii 5, 
 At afternoon came one of Dcaoiir Onrtz his fervants from his Mafter to tell me,that his Ma- 
 ftcr would come tome to morrow in the morning about feven, eight, or nine of the Clock as 
 
 Saturday, OSobrit 6t M-mc. 
 
 Before feven of the Clock I thought good rather my felf to go to Doftour Carfe, then 
 to frffer him to come to me fo far, and that for divers ca.fes : So I v^ent tohimjan 1 came be- 
 fore he was ready. At hi* being ready he cams forth , but nothing with fo clicarfull n coun- 
 tenance to welcome me as he did at the firft ; I conjectured that he fufpefted that I would 
 
 ■ take his words in evil part , which he had to fay to me from the Emperour, which (after I 
 had fomcwhat fpokeii of the book that 1 lent him, and Ibme other, that had vv lirten fome-

 cond Letters to the Emperour , the eltcft whereof he had heard at my hands , and liad lent 
 onMifi'»f/»»(» even to the Emperours Majefty, a note and advife ot^ them , as he now faid. 
 And did willi that they had been delivered before the Emperour had refolved on the for- 
 mer anfwer : Thofe Lecters ((aid I) are in the Ambalfadours of S aini hands ; and if he will 
 not deliver them to day,I will fetch them for y.iu : if you do(faid he)l will deliver them ftraighc 
 way, for at eighth of the Clock yo.; fhall have me in the Kitter ftove , or hear of niL there» 
 
 , Then (faid I) I will llraight way goto the Ambaiiadour. 
 
 I vftnt unto the ^ mbaifadour of Spain, and reported all that had pafTed between me and 
 jy. Curtz- He faid that by rcafon of his divers atfairs he had not good opportunity, never 
 fince the receipt of my Letters to go to the r m'perours Majefty : But that this day he deter- 
 mined to deliver my Letters with his own hand luuo his Vlajeftyifo with thanks given to his 
 honour I departed : 1 w;?nt to the Ritter ftove (or L hamber of prefencc) where I found none 
 of the Guard, butverymany fitting without, in the ftove were three, or four, of which 
 one went ftraight waj^ into the privy Chamber , and by and by D. Curtz came outfrorti'th^ 
 Emperour unto ms , I asked him if he had told the Emperour of my grief conceived of his 
 mifunderflanding my words : he faid, I, and that the Emperour took ic not in evil part , arid 
 fo of divers other thin .s we had talk walking up and down together about a quarter of an 
 
 . hour : Among other thingb 1 told him that the Lord AmbaflTadour would deliver my Letters 
 himfelf to the Emperours Majefty, fo I departed, and be returned back to the Emperour into* 
 the privy Chamber. •♦ 
 
 Sunday, OExobrit J. Mane hora 7, 
 T fent to the Lord AmbafTadour his houfe , and there 1 learned that the Ambaffidour had 
 yefterday delivered my Letter to his Majefty : And that anfwer was to be expefted by 
 D. Ci/rtz. 
 
 After Dinner I went to Doftor Curtz home to his lodging, and he had nothing as yet to 
 fay of the Letter delivered by the Lord AmbafTadour: But we fell to other talk, and I told 
 him plainly, that I had not hitherto lived obfcurely , neither without care of my good fame 
 and name, maintaining, and increafing; therefore ii here for my ilncere dealing i fhould fecin 
 rto be defpifed , or not regarded, or to be but a trifler , ray thought I Ihould have great inju- 
 ry : And fure I was that the Emperouis Majefty was much ruled by him, and as he did fraine 
 his judgement, fo did his Majefty very ofcrefolve in fuch matters as mine j wherefore it I 
 
 were

 were not ufed in my caufes as was reafonable, and for the Emperours honour it ftiould not be 
 laid to any other mans charge but to his, &c. He promifed that he would deliver ail in the 
 beft words he could, in friendly fort,«^r. After this he Oiewcd divers his labours and inven- 
 rions, Mathematical, and chiefly Arithmetical Tables , both for his invention by fquarcs to 
 have the minute andfccond of obfervations Aftrononiical, and fo for the mending of Nitinj us 
 his invention of the Quadrant dividing in 90. pi. 92. ^t^.&c. I then opened tobimmy fecret 
 of my "laffe, for battering in a dark night, d^'^'. Hefaid that conclufion would be very accepta- 
 ble to his Ma jefly , I told him that the glafTe was at Cracovia^ and his Majefty (hould fee it by 
 
 Gods leave. 
 
 After this I told him that I would full fain have a Pafport, or lafe conduct to palTe quietly 
 and farcly in any of the Emperours Dominions. He thoi'ght h'ls Majefty would willingly 
 "rant that and willed m: to write three , or four lines as I would have it, and he informed me

 him thefe laft written : And he faid they ufe to limit no time , but to make them indefinite. 
 So he took the laft, and I had the former Letters back again . He went with them into the pri- 
 vy Chamber, he faid, I fhouid not need to fend for the Letters, but he would fend them home 
 by his man, and I went from him toward the AmbafTadour D<»« Gtdielmo de Sando Clementer

 A I noted two Prophets names, not before. 
 
 .•♦.♦ This Neceffitj is tveo-feldf one {that is to fay ^the firfi) contemplative »nd fix. 
 
 The other^ forking and leading to an end. 
 
 In the firfi do dwell two great and mighty Judges, fufiice and Mercj, 
 
 In thefecond dwelieth the [on and image of Jajtice^, leading on by order for the com fe ofth'ngs^ 
 that are led on by the later ^ have not true Jufiice^ but the image of fufiice. 
 
 This is the caufe that the eleli end chofen may trre an^go afiray^ and lofe the benefit both of the 
 endof his EleEiton and firfi determination. 
 
 For why : v4// things come op, and keep their courfe, even as they are led, by the image of fufiice, 
 fj]fan onely excepted : whichbyreajonefhisfree'WilUdraweth VE.K.Vic tcachCth 
 
 oi4t of order, > unnethfrcm the mark^-, refufeth that which is goody hinifclf. 1 
 
 and through the burden of his fiejh, incltneth unto evil. 
 
 In the tvhich evil., whtlfi he drvelleth and continuethy lo the courfe of neceffity taketh hold upon 
 lim-, and draneth h:m unto the fccpe or end whereunto he inclineth himfelf. 
 
 For, behold-, Although he be before fan[lified unto the Lord^ and made a chofen vejfel., tvhertin 
 
 If Tic continue, if he continue, necejfdrily he fijall enjoy the reward and glorj of the fanllified. Tet if he lofe that 
 
 Necejfity-, a>.d fly from his own law and condition, taking part with the filthinejfe and iniijutty efhis 
 
 enemy-, through Satan or his fiejh, of Necejfity he mufi perijh. 
 
 If For as thofe tha t are good, tied unto the law of goodnejfe, are glorified, if they continue : ft likj~ 
 
 wife are the evtl tyed unto the law ofwickednejfe, the Necejfity whereof is damnable. 
 
 This IS the caufe that the Prophets are vifited. 
 
 "Becaufe God found them punijhng their fie/h,defpifing the vanities of the ttorld, and refiftitrg 
 Satan. 
 
 For lof the Lord looked down unto the earth : Andhefar* them defpiling wickednefle , fearing 
 him, and groundid in the bich of redemption. 
 
 Therefore he thrufi himfelf in amongfl them , and through the ^rfi part of neceffity {tn mercy") 
 he vifited them. 
 
 Take heed(o yoii) that the Lord of neceffity vifiteth in fufiice , for your burden Jhall be great 
 ttnti intolerable. 
 
 E. K. He IS gone. A We read and difcourled a pretty while. 
 
 E.K, Here he is again. 
 
 ♦,,♦,♦ Now unto therefi. 
 
 What is (therefore) that neceffity divine againfi the which there is no prayer ner repfiance ? 
 For why it is evident, That finnen may return y and theft that erre ^ maybe brought itita the 
 right way, and that by Prayer. 
 Prayei. Behold, no man is penitent, but he ufeth Prayer. 
 
 No manfatisfieth, but he ufeth Trayer. 
 
 No man taketh part with the Church , but in Prayer, for Prayer is the Key , fanBifitd by the 
 Holy Ghofi, which openeth the way unto God. 
 
 Ncccflicy had deteimincd the dcftrusSlion of Ninevee, neceffity alfo faved it. 
 For lo,when t heyjhould necejfarily have received reward for their wickedfiefcy they prayed , m4 
 refificd neceffity, ., ,/^"- ■ >'* / 
 
 It appeareth, therefore, not yet, what neceffity that is, that Prayer prevaileth net againfi. 
 Note here. The later neceffity is neceffity, leading malum ad malum, & bonum ad bonum ; which 
 neceffity is that, which is tyed unto every thing leading it unto the end that it defireth. 
 
 Even as God, feeing the Prophets for fake the loathfomneffe of their flefh , and framing them' 
 f elves to the mceffity which leadeth unto good, of his meer mercy, in the firfi, thrufi himfelf amongft 
 them, fixing their later and defired neceffity , with a neceffity of his Omnipotent andunfpeakable 
 mercy wherein there dwelieth two things ; 
 
 foy , and Perjeverance. 
 Thefe therefore (as the Trophets) which are vifittd with Cod in mercy , arefed,noHrifhedand 
 fofiered as the Prophets were, with thefe two difies, 
 
 whereof the greatefl is Perfeverance. 
 Herein I teach you , that he that is firfi eleSled and applyeth himfelf to the necejfity of his Ele- 
 Rion, doing the workj that are righteous before the Lord, and receiveth comfort by the vifitationof 
 Gods mercy, isftaledto the end of hisEleHion, ingladnefe, and through the valne and firength 
 ofTerfeverance, and cannot fall fo far, that he fifall be bruifed, or run fo far afiray , thatht ^aB 
 not be able to remember himfelf. 
 Happy are thofe that are ele^ed. 
 
 But happy, happier are thofe that perfevere in their EleEiion. 
 Thefe are thofe unto whom God imputeth not their finnts. 
 
 Thife are thofe th at finne and Satan are a weary of, for they are not able to prtvaile. . 
 Thefe are thofe which are numbred in the Book, of God, and whffe brethren tOfry as yet for their 
 fomming. But the altar fhall be opened^ and theyfhall rife.

 Coverings of our bodies , in pawn either unto fuch as are Rebels a-

 which are malicious and full of wielded flanders : 1 Jane Dee humb-

 ty^prilis 11. A meridie wccamc toCr4ro^';4, and as we were within an Englifli mile of the 
 City, bcinc; a fair and calm day, there palled about half a mile before us,croflingfronuhe right hand 
 to the left Whirlwinds, divers one after another, wreathing up the duli with great vehemency on 
 high, and flioocing forward Ihll, and then mounting into the air, and fo went Southerly from u»,arKj 
 likewifc fome began on the right hand, and came furiou{ly,raifing up and wreathing the duft up into 
 the air Southerly alfo, and did not crolfe the way. 
 
 VVhcn wccame toourhoufc, we found that a ftrarger wasfetintoit,by the Landlords (lAi.^ohn 
 Lo>ig^ the Judge, and CMartw Tlutncr) and having by me the keys of the Store-houfe, and of the 
 Street-door, I cauled my (lufFbrought with me to be fet in, and chat night wc made hard fliift for 
 lodging. But the new anti fenced in tenants gave me leave to have one of my Bedfteads, which 
 via* in one (love, and emptied tlie lame to us, with much ado. 
 
 SMurday and Sufday we were lore out-faced or rather threatned, that we fliould have no houfe 
 
 . there, and alio one Bofiar his arms were let upon the door, as if the houle had been allowed to him 
 
 ex officio. Monday I made the Reitor privy of the Injuries I indured, and he courteoufly lent 
 
 two Mali crs o[ Arc with me to die Proconful to have Citation for the Landlords to appear on Tucl- 
 
 day by 7 of the clock, to anlwerto our complaint. 
 
 This J/oW<yr-night came the Lord Z«<?^;^7 from LAf;i;9,upon a Letter he had received from me 
 from Ntfo , of my coming. 
 
 Tuefday (ey^prilis 16) the Lord I.4»j^;came to the houle, and in the morning would have pre- 
 fcntly call all their Huff out of doors, but by entreaty he permitted them to empty all into the lower • 
 
 ftove. 
 
 , In the mean fpace I appeared with my Lawyer or Attourney Mr. TetAldoy (an Italian) an anci- 
 ent Praftitioncr in the Voliih and Cracovian Caufes : And to conclude, I had a Decree againft my 
 Landlords, that I was to have at leaft an half years warning ; whereupon John Laugh gave me 
 warning to avoid at Mtchaelmofy and fo we came from the Court or Tovrn-houfe, called Prateri- 
 Mot in Latine. This lame Tuefday afternoon, my Lord Lasky went to the King oi Poland up in- 
 to the Cattle; and told him of my comming,and how evilly I was uied : and he faid, why did he not 
 cart them out of doors? fo have I now, quoth the Lord Z/<w/^-, and the King granted the Houle 
 to be holdeii ex officio : And the next day the King was deftrous tofpeak^with me.

 the Vicc-Chancclor and other Officeis, the chiet Sccretaiy brought Bills to be read, and fubfcribed, 
 or alligned with the Kings own hand, which he did: and after the Lord I.*^; had watched a fie

 if this intended purpofc of E. K. (hould go forward and take place) was to great, that we might 
 feem to the world, to have been led to that evil end, by a manifold digreflion, rather then otherwife

 S f.iiT.ltood at the end of the Galery by his Chamberjlooking over into the Vineyard 
 he fccmcd to lee the little man the (jariin&r , in all manner of behaviour and appa* 
 rel , who is the chief vvorkman or over-feer of Mr. Carpio his workmen in the fame 
 Vine-yard. Heleemedvery handfomly to prune feme of the Trees: at length he 
 approached under the wall by E.K. and holding bis face a way-ward he laid unto 
 him, Qnafo dicM Domttto DoClori quodvemat adme. And fo went away as it were cutting here 
 and there the Trees very handfomly, and at length over the Cherry-trees by the houfe on the Rock ift 
 the Garden he lecmed to mount up in a great piUer of fire. 
 
 E.K. bade his Wife to go, and fhc who waS in the Garden. She came up, and brought hirti 
 word, Nobody, 
 
 E. K. then came to me and faid , I think there is fome wicked fpirit that would allude me , and 
 he told and faid to me , as is before noted. Then faid I , I will go into the Garden, and bade E. K. 
 come with me. We went down that way which diis Creature did go: but nothing we faw , went 
 to the Banqueting-houfe in the Vine-yard , but that place pleafed us not:fo,we went along in the way 
 by the cl iff fide, and.fat down on the bank by the great pyle of Vine-ftakes lying in the very South end 
 of the Vine-yard. And we had not fat there half a quarter of an hour, but lefpyed under the Almond- 
 tree, and on the South-fide of it , being the We(krly Almond-tree , that is i: which 1$ itandmg on 
 the Wcfcerly fide of the ftraight path which leadeth from ths North toward che South in the- Vine- 
 yard, lefpyed ( I fay ) like ajheet affaire rvhite paper lying tojfed to and fro in the wind. *' I rofe 
 J*-<Sfd_;,-.^..H:to ic , and ( to the prayfe of God his truth and power ,) there I f«und three of my Book* 
 " lying, which were loililigendy burnt the tenth day of April laft. 
 
 1 The three Books were , Enoch his Bookj 
 
 2 The 48 Cloves tyingelicit. 
 
 5 And the third was the Book ofmy gathering of the thirty Aires, and entitled i/^#r^«V»f//

 Thereupon S. K. comming to me , I fell on my knees with great thanks yeilding to the God 
 Almighty, and fo did £. AT. whofe mind and body were mervailoufly aftedted at the fight of the 
 " faid Books, having no fliew or figne that ever they had been in the firc,neither by colour or favour, 
 *^ orany thing wanting. 
 
 And aher we had let half an hour under the fore-faid Almond-trce« prayfing God and wondring 
 at the Miracle. 'Suddenly appeared by us the felf-fame Gardiner like pctfon , but with his face fome-

 IjSd. A fay I. , 
 
 On May day after diiine-- 1 went over the water ( being brought to the water lide in the Lord 
 Rofenberg his coach , and Jacobus Menfchick with me) unto the Lord Rofenberg his GardenSjand 
 lodging by the water-fide, whether became to me by appointment. To whom when I had read in 
 Latin ( eA-?ew/>or^) the things that concerned him, I asked bimw'hat he had done, fince the time 
 ot my being with huai , chat I may tlie better undcrttand thefe words fpoken to him and of him. 
 
 He told , that he had often prayed , fince unto God for tlie forgiveViefs of his fins, and to open 
 his eyes how he might fcrve him ; and to make it to be evident unto him whether he is to marry or 
 no, and whcre,oriii what fiock or kindred. And if it were his divine Will,that he might receive com- 
 fort and inftructian by me,and thatthefe and fuch macters,and fcmewhat earnefdy he had prayed alfo 
 forhisMr. thcEmpi;rc)ur, thathe might bend himfelf to enjoy God hisfavour,yea,for hisown mar- 
 riage and amending of his loolc life, while he yet fat at dinner this day at the Archbifhops table , his 
 heart and thought did come very much upon ir, &c. 
 
 At thefe his woids Irejoyccdmuch to perceive the doing of the Highcft, in the hcarin" of his 
 prayerfaithfully prayed & ihatthe anfwcrwhich Iread untohim was ibfilty apply cd unto his prayer 
 as he alio himfelf, did perceive with great comfort and fpirjtual joy. He entreated much that I would 
 pray to God that the Empercur might be rcfcorcd to the favour of God,as he was when 1 declared my 
 mellagc unto him from the Higlicft, 1 aiifwered, that whaifoever the God of Heaven and Earth fhould 
 appoint me to lay or do unto his Majefty , I mofc willingly rejoyce in the faithful doing o*- it : and 
 that it was my duty (asa Chrj/hai') topray for hisMajcfty : but I fliould not make my promifeof 
 my prayer to be heard, but would hi^-hly rejoyce if his Imperial Majelfy would fo ufe himfelf in God 
 his judgment, as might be meriiorK us m the fight of oui Redeemer. 
 
 Such words and matters as this padcdbetwtcn us. And he fa id that he would in all points, fulirl 
 i^otum &pro. the advice and warning of God, in this Adion cxpreffcd,& would marry a Maiden as he was willed. 
 mi(fum Wil- And this day did acknowledge, & account himfelf a happy man. And as concerning our mutual bond 
 ^'/I'c-'/'i!'?' ' ^^ ''^^ mtanes ot each being given to the other by God of Heaven and haith, he vowed and promifed 
 htmiie!^" "' ^'"^ he would regard Km all points tothc bcft of his skiland power, &c. 
 
 Thele and other luch good I'eeds for the feivice of God being fown between us; he went towards his 
 1 alace in the Court , aad 1 to the vv'ater-fide, and fo over to the Coach awaiting for me, and fo came 
 home. God be prayfed,

 NOTE. 
 
 I had tranflated this Sun'day morning , the fame parcel of the former Aflion into Latin for thfi 
 Lord Rofenberg , which he then fcnt for , jump at the time , when 1 had finifhcd it : And fo I 
 fen: it him inclofed in a Letter. 
 
 LMay 6. Being Tuejday, I entred my Journey tovvard Valkenavf Glaffc-houfc , and Leiffig 
 LMart. 
 
 There are divers Valkenaxvs , one by Egrcy or ElhegeH^ not far from Carls Bath, weftward firotn 
 Trage about 1 8 Bemi[h miles , an other in Behem , about 1 1 or 1 2 miles from Tragc, northerly, a 
 mile from Krehit^, and two miles from Liep, and a mile from KAmnitx^. 
 
 NOTE. 
 
 May II I came to Leip^^, on Sunday the li ol M^J •> and was at Peter Hans SvfArtz Wis 
 Houfe lodged. I found Lafire>3ceOverto» , (with much ado} an Englifti Merchant: to whom my 
 wife (the laft year) had iTicwcd no htde friendflup to himfelf , and Thomoi his partners fervant , in 
 the time of his lying (ick incur Houfe, &c. zt Prage ; He came from England at Mid-lent , he 
 conic ffed that f<i»»o;ji5/ my icTvant had been oftentimes with him, at his Houfe, and that he did 
 think that he would come with the next Ships after his comming ftomEugUfdj then to come within 
 16 dayes. 
 
 I perceived by his diverfe exprefle fayings , that he was but a hollow friend unto me , and feemed 
 ' half afraid to deal either with me, or my man. 
 
 There, alio I found a courteous Gentlerpan called Mr.Francis Evers.ih: Lord Evers his Sortne of 
 the North. And of ali other matters omitting the rehearfal in thefe Records , (thole matters I mean 
 which ziLeipJich and in this Journey happened notably unto ma, orldid myfelf) one Letter

 ALbcit I have (almoft) in vain come a hundred miles i(rj:oin 
 Frage to this Leipfich Mart) hoping either to meet my Servant 
 there, with anrwei" to riiy former Letters, fent in Noi>emher 
 laft to her Ma jefty (when alfo l wrote unto your Honor, and divers 
 other). And fo with Ipced from this Lt'/j>//<:/j to have fent agaiq, 
 moft fpeedily as occafion iTiould have ferved. And now, I find, iieji- 
 thiir fervant, neither Letter from him, neither word of mouth : yet 
 all this notwithftanding : and whatfoever the hindrance or dela^ 
 hereof be (whether the keeping back of my Letters from her Msl^ 
 jefty, or the manifold and importune, moft weighty affairs publick 
 hindrin^or delaying her Majefties moft gracious , difcreet and w;fc 
 fefolution herein : or what other occafion elfe hath and doth caufq 
 this long and wonderful delay of anfwer receiving. All this not-j 
 withftandin^, 1 thought good, before I let up to my Coach, to vi-^ 
 Citl and moft humbly to falute your Honour very faithfully, dutiful- 
 ly and fincercly, with great and the fame good will , that my l^cpp, 
 ter^^"foine'''yeers fince written to your Honour , (butt hen,, .,4j 
 ftnmbling block unto your Honour and other , for the ftrang- 
 neflb of the Phrafes therein ) doth pretend, fo it is, right Honoura-^ 
 ble, that the merciful providence of the Higheft , declared in his, 
 great and abundant graces upon me, and mine, is fo wonderful and 
 mighty, that very few, unleife they be prefent witneffesjcan believe- 
 the lame. Therefore how hard they are to be believed, there where, 
 all my life and doin2;s were conftrued to a contrary fenfe : and^ 
 procelfc of death contrived and decreed againft the Innocent^ wbo^^ 
 can not eafily judg. ^^_ _,;^;^ 
 
 1 am forced to be brief. That which England [u(^e^ed, was alio 
 here, for thefe two yeers, almoft (fecretly) in doubt, in queft-ion, 
 in confiiltation Imperial and Royal , by Honourable Efpics, fawn- 
 ing about me, and by other, difcourfed upon,, pryed and peered 
 into.' And at length, both the chief Romifli power 3 and Imperial 
 dignity, are brought to that point, refolutely, that , partly they are 
 iorry^ of their fo late reclaiming their erroneous judgment againft 
 U5 and of us , and feek means to deal with us, fo as wee might fa- 
 vour both the one and the other : And partly to Rome is fent for a? 
 great Authority and Power as can be deviled, and likewife here, all 
 other means andwayes contrived, How, by force, or for feare,they 
 may^'inake us glad to follow their humours. But ail in vain , .for, 
 force humane we fear not : as plainly, and often, 1 have to the Prin- / 
 ces declared : And otherwife then in pure verity, and godlineiTe, wc ■ 
 will not favour any (my words may fecm very marvellous in your , 
 Honours ears : But mark the end , wee have had (and (hall have to 
 di^altwith no babes) I have full oft and upon many of their requefts 
 
 and

 and queftions , referred my felf to her Majefties ani\ver , thus, in 
 vain, expeded. Nuncifus Jpofiolicn-s , (Gcrmanicm Mala Spina) 
 after his yeers fuit unto me to be acquainted with me, at Iciigth had 
 fuch his anfwer, that he is gone to Komc with a flea in hi? eare, that 
 diquieteth him, he terrifieth the whole State Romifh and Jeluitical: 
 fecretly they threaten us violent death, and openly they fawn upon 
 ds. We know, the Aing of Envy, and tl^e fury of the Fear in Ty- 
 tannical minds , what defperate attempts they have and do often 
 undertake. But the God of Heaven and Earth is our Li jhtXeader^ 
 •and Defender. To the Worlds end, his mercies upon us, will bread 
 his Praifes, Honour and Glory. Thus much very rhapfodically, (yet 
 faithfully) tan^itam diBitm Japientz, I thought good to commit to 
 thefafeandfpeedy conveyance of a young Merchant here called 
 Lawrence Oi>erton : which if it come to your Honours hands be- 
 fore my Servant have his difpatch,! (hall or may by your Honour be 
 ■jtdvcrtized. Your Honour is fufficient from her Ma jefty to deal and 
 proceed With me, if it be thought good. But if you make a Coun- 
 cil-Table Cafe of it, Ojiot homines, tot fententix. And my Coraif- 
 fion from above is not lo large : Qjti poteji capere^ capiat. 
 
 Sir, I truft, I fhall have Jufcice for my Houfe , Library , Goods, 
 and Revenues, &c. Do not you difdain, neither fear to bear favour 
 liinto your poor Innocent Neighbour. If you fend unto me Mafter 
 Thomas Diggs , in her Majcfties behalf , his faithfulnefle to her 
 ^ajefty , and my well liking o-f the man , (hall bring forth fomc 
 ifncce of good fervice. But her Ma jefty had been better , to have 
 fpent or giVeh away in Alms , a Million of Gold , then to have 
 loji fame opportunities paji. No humane reafon can limit or deter- 
 mine God his marvellous means of proceeding with us. Hee hath 
 made of Sitnl (E K.} a Fanl : but yet, now and then, vifited with 
 a pang of humane frailty. The Almighty blefle her Majefty both 
 in this World, and eternally : and infpire your heart with fome con- 
 ceiving of his mercilul purpofes, yet, yet, not utterly cut ojfFfrom

 MEMORANDUM. 
 
 Berememhredth^t Mr. Francis Pucci Florentine, whom at mjr going to Lt'ipGch I left w opir ., * „,;, 
 hfife at Prage , in the meanefpaee had been at Frankford upon Mene , awL went from Prage ahom rpucd. 
 the fame d^y that the Bishop of Vhzzm^tinnc'vis h\po^o\\cn% dtA exhibit to the Emperom a Itbel Amox^ti. 
 ugainft us ofmefi horrible untruths, &c. At his going from Prage he had that Nuncius bleffirtg^ Mm e. 
 &c. In the meane fpace , and after his return to Prage a^ainit happened fo^ that the lo of May 
 lafi I I received the Emperours commandment , 1 , my Companion , anii all mine to depart within 
 fix dayesout of^idiOzaudconfiqHentlyoHt of all his Kingdomes , Dukedomes and Lands, JVhich 
 we did , and were csme to Erphurd in Thuringa , tnd femetimes to Caffcl whether we had rermvedi 
 our goods and family by reafon the Senators o/Erphurd wauldgive at no leave to hire any honfe there 
 as both by the Lord Schonberg »» the name of the Lord Rolenberg, Iwas ajfayed, with repulft 
 received , and alfo again by me and E. K. proved^ July 7, 8, p, i o, 1 1, 1 2, i J j I4» Anion Tuef- 
 day ( the I'^thdayofjune) T>aSlor Cmiz brought upward from the Stnat that they would not grans 
 our Rrqneft-^yer notwithjlandingiif the Lor dV^Qiznh^xg would again fend unto them i» the matter ^ 
 they would ihtnk^better upon the matter, &c. 
 
 Now remember that Francis Pucci came to Erphurd c« Thurfday after lur fupptr , July 10 ( ftilo 
 novo) on horfe-back^on a horje which he had bought at Mawnberg-/<»/re, ^c. 
 
 July the nth he dtfcourfed with EtK.andme, that he thought we might] obtain favour to re-' 
 turn to Prage agam if we would. 
 
 -- That he had found this Nuncius Apoftolicus more courteous then Malafpina j of whom he reported 
 alfoy that ts was credibly informed that he was fore offended that we gave him no more honourable 
 - title in our fpeec' st to htm , then ReverendifTiraa Vcftra Paternitas. 
 
 This Pucci /) -med the dtfcourfe of his talkjo perfwade us to thinkwefl of this Epifcopus Placen- 
 tius that he was charitsble towards us, and forrow that we werefo uucourteoufly HJed,that he meant 
 mthingelfe inhtsftne 10 the Emperour again f M^but that wemightbe examined , and rhoubdng 
 
 found 
 
430 <o>^ true Relation of Dr. Dee his ABions^witbj^iritSy^c. 
 
 found fanlty^ wejhonld be lent to Reme^ but after that he had begiinto move againft us, that he found 
 jhe Emperour more eager Ij bent againft us, than he himfelt was, 
 
 N or S. 
 
 The Lord ■2^/c»i'«'>'^told us that when he did (inourbehalf ) advifethe Emperour of his error 
 committed in our extermination, that the Emperour anfwered'that \!c\\i NHnctiu from his firft 
 Audience did urge fo vehemently againRus, and alio the Pope had fen: commandment by Let- 
 ter to him to deliver us and fend us to Fome , that he was forced in manncrto do as he did. But 
 jt the commandcmcnt or his Decree were to be made again, that it fhould not pafl'e > or if this 
 Nuncius ,^p .ftolicm had not lent this Decree away to R»me , that he fhould not fend itj&c. This 
 I note in rcfpcd of the contrariety '\n\.\\z Nhucim aflcrtifon, and the Emperours, of carlo hard 
 ufage. 
 
 The forcfaid eleventh day of July, the forefaid fr./'«m to prove this his intended perfwafion 
 of the Nufcini good meaning toward us, and to make us beleeve that great benefit would enfue our 
 going to Rome, did bring forth unto us a writing of his own hand which he read unto us , and at the 
 hearing of it we muled much for many caulcs 1 asked him then why the NHncius- had not fublcri- 
 bcd this writing. It is all one faid he for that ; Hath he heard this read (quoth 1,) yea, that he hath 
 heard me read this three ieveial times t arife unto him (laid he ; ) And ifyou like of it laith he, 
 wherein his power ferveth hiin not to performe as much as is fpccified in the writing , he will make 
 and ufe meancs'tohaveitfromhis Holindfe; well, laid I, take a copy hereof Mr. Kelly, farlwas 
 riding toward Salfeild about a houfe getting ; Thereupon faid he, contented , but I thiak it meetcr 
 to lave and keep the original it ftlf laid £. K, Well, laid rucci , and io the original vvas delivered 
 to B. K, 
 
 NOTE. 
 
 After 10 of the clock the fame Friday , being the eleventh day of this moncth , after break-faft 
 I rid toward Sa/feild about the houfe ot the Earl Jll/ert of Sw'Hrtz.enherg, &t. 
 
 But after 1 was out of £rjf«r<i until my return again, I was fo lore vexed in mind to think of 
 Pucci his return to our company , as well for his unqniet ngtHre in difptitations 3 as for his blabbing 
 A bile efourfecrets nithout our leave, or well Itkjng , or a»y good doing thereby; m\\Qt in God his fer- 
 
 viee , or our credit, but rather the contrary, enluing albeit not ot his intent, but by either his undjl- 
 Afpie. c'.eethandlingof it, or of his undue hearers of him, 8:c. Andallofor his Houfhold behaviour, not 
 
 • acceptable to our wives and family , and alfo becaul'e we were warned thai hefl^ould be eat sfffrom 
 our company,&c. And chiefly, now to conhdcr that he had laid /«c/)^^<i« for us with our mortal 
 enemy, co entrap us by fair fawning words, which by no meancs the Emperour would confent to do 
 before by his authority , but rather to put us out of his Kingdomes, &c. And imagining that he was 
 a mighty Explorator upon us, for this Nttncitts sApofiolictu -, and his adherents, that now he 
 might perceive what we had done hitherto , what we were doing, and what we intended to do, 
 and conlidcnng that he urged at our hands in anlwer to the former writing , wherein alfo lay a trap 
 for either in not anfweving it, orrefufingto grant fome points of it, or in our confenting to the 
 whole , this Naneim would put matteragainlf us to our great difadvantage. Thus being tormented 
 in mind in my abfcnce,how we might be rid of this Vr> Pucci^^ quiet and honefJ meangs,! devifed 
 to write to this Nuncius to know if this writing were of hiscontriving onely, or of /"xrc/his contri- 
 ving onely,or joyncly,or if at the lealitHe writing were according to his will,and oflcrumo us,ardfo 
 to fend him away ; wherein he could make no rcfulal,! intending not to make him privy of the con- 
 tent of my Letter ; And in the mean (pace of his abfcnce I hoped that fome good way and better 
 meanes woi'.ld appear or fall out , whereunto we might trulV,&c. Thus I note my imaginations and 
 dilcourfcs in the time of mv abience. 
 
 I returned to Erfhurd July i 3.. her a 5. a meridie. 
 
 I found Fr. T/rec; defirous to have anlwer to the forcfaid writing > and very much peifwading 
 this Roman voyage , ufing arguments out ot our anions , as that God laid we fhould go to Rome, 
 in a certain monechs fpace ; That we ought to obey the Roman Bifhop, and to love him, &c. I re- 
 plycd and raiJ,that he was not to urge Godupon any hu faymgs to «*,buttorcferre all to his moft free 
 dilpofition, his will was to be done and not GUIS , God was not bound tous,&c. He anfwered ve- 
 ry vehemently , and often, that T)eus eft nobis obligatiffimus, & Dens dixit nos tturcs Romam, e?* 
 fgo credt & cvedam, & aliter non credam mflmiht Detu dixerit m» nobis,&c. Well, (quod we) 
 God hath delivered unto us his meaning in that phrafe , which we alfo dcvifc you of, that it is not ■ 
 meant (by the fpeech) that we fliall corporally goe to Rome , and fo I brake ott that his reafoning ; 
 And told him that we metvailcd chat he flioulduige this Roman Voiagc fo violently and eagerly 
 more then we; It appertained unto us as.Binch as to bim, ice. The fame day I told him that he had 
 heretofore ofiended God with his curiojity incur ajfaires ozhcrviife then appertained unto his cal- 
 ling, and he may well remember his repentance therein , and his foigiveneffe obteined, But that

 novv he had oflfended much more in cuiiofity, and half in confpiracy againli us vvi:h ourmortrj 
 enemy this N»»ciHs ylpofialiciu , upon whoixihe did fawn, in whofe favour he is , wh > j ynedi 
 counfaileth with him in our afttiires , who dare prefcribe us whar we have to do in fa w.ighcy af- 
 faires as our Journey to R^'Wf, whohach framed a bill, accufing us coufufcdly of HcrefiCj and wick- 
 ed Magick , both falfely in one pare , and dangerous to life , and infamous a: the lea(t in the otheri 
 and hereto reqaircth, urgcth, and in manner in God his name argnethby our a^T! ions pafl, obedi- 
 ence. And therefore he hath feparaced himfelf from us, and hath fee himfclf .ig.-iin(t us, &C. 
 
 With great vehemency he laid , He intended nothing , but well to us , and tvas Exploratorwith 
 this Nhucius for our behaU'; We require none (Ihidi) neither we need any , for God fecth a!l,and 
 doth all , for our benefit) if wc will coufiantly love and lerve him ; To be brief, he would 
 Teem to be worthy to be thought well of for his zealous good will and fidelity to us ward , in all his 
 doings and layings ; The truth whereof Gcd kncweth , towhomwc commit the cade between him 
 and us.

 For the better ground of any manner of anfwcr making hereunto I asked the fame Fir. 'Ppscci , 
 after fupper,on Tuefday the 1 5 of Jtfljf, (forafmuch as I had framed a Letter for anfwer to the pith of 
 the Letter or writinghere recorded)whetherthis Letter were written and lent to us by the confent of 
 this Nuficifss Apoftoltctts , to know our anfwer in,orno. He feemed to be unwilling now diredly to 
 affirm the Nuncmt confent.We replycd that he had already told us that he had read it thrice over to 
 the faid JV«M(r/»« , and that he liked well of it, and did mervail that now he would make ftrange 
 to affirm the fame again , feeing I had now , (according to his purpofe) written a plain and perfect 
 humble anfwer to the fame Letter , and much more matter , true and needful lor this Nuncins to 
 know. Well, laid he , Eatenus tx ejus confenfn efi, fi velitis ire Romam , ea prafiare conabttHr,

 This day, Francis Pncci laid to us both ■> how can you doubt of my fidelity toward you ( whom 
 I love as my own life, ) and againli this Monfter of %omt^ whom my chief defireis, and long puccl inltdeii- 
 hath been, that he may be overthrown, &c. Again,confider, what fidelity, obedience, and reye- tit mamjejii/^ 
 Tcncehehath promifed to the Pope, and this Nuneita , as the writing broughtby him, and fo fore /(w* /aft*, 
 and many waycs u'.g^d by him, for us to accept ot , can fpecific. 
 
 Theiefore Fr. is talfc to the Pope, or us, or both,or raQi,fooIifh,blind , &c. And (as our fpiritual 
 S-hoolmailer , divsrs times termeth liini) leprous : Therefore I commit this his doings to the judg- 
 ment of God : But alio it is greatly to be remembred and noted that he now alfo dilcourfed again 
 with £. K. as concerning the Birth of Chritt , that it could rot be proved by the Scriptures , that 
 Chiilt came of the line of David , unlefle he were begotten of the aftual copulation of Jofephf 
 with (.Mary, and 'aid that , becaule it was the gift of the Holy Ghoft , that at Jofeph his firftand

 It is evident hereby that this Pucci is very leprous, both in this Herefie (what other he is infe(5t- 
 cd widi; God he knowech)and alfo the former infidelity proved. 
 
 i:. On fhurfday 17 July Fr.Pucci entred his Voyage toward Prage with my Letter to the Ntneitt 
 AfofioUcM^ and with Letters to John Cmrpio from £. iC, and with my Letters inclofed to the Lord 
 Rofenberg. And wc entred our journey toward Ctiffd > but that night we rode onely three miles, to

 hired a Coach, &c. 
 
 POSCRIPTUM. 
 
 Remember ttet Fr- Pncci, the morning before his going required of me our Letters Teftimonial 
 toourfriends, of his fidelity toward us. What needeth that (faid I)for as muchasyour deeds were 
 as well known to them as to us, your own confcience to your felf may ferve abundantly. But our 
 friends divers, who have warned us of you, and have marvelled why we would fuffer you any longer 
 in our houfc and company, would neither credit our Letters as yet in this cafe. And would alfo con- 
 demne us of light judgment, or great blindnefs to judg the caufe between you and us. 
 
 But tmly I obferved m him, now, a more proud prefuming over us then hitherto, before , when he 
 was fore rebuked, for over-crowing us, fo as he began to do. 
 Prxfumpth, I Novvhefaid, he had as great authority as we to publifh any of our Secrets, at hisdifcretion. 
 
 2 That he ought to eat bread with us. 
 
 ^ That he underltood our Books ot Ailions better then we. 
 
 4 That he needed not our confent or counfail to deal with the Pope his NunciM : he did it by his 
 duty general, ot Charity, Sec. 
 
 5 He offered to order the Nuficitti^znd the Emperor to the reclaiaiing of the Decree made a§ainft

 NOTE. 
 
 Confider what this may import , that the Decree couching him, being one of my houfhold com- 
 pany, and of them that then did appertain tome , and whole name he is not affraid one way and 
 * ^'^« f''''?- another way not abal'hed to * thrulf himfelf into the whole body of our Revelations , as a princi- 
 tu.71 Ulim de p^j ^^\\ry^^ or Receiver of them. By the firft he ought to be afraid of the danger of the Decree which 
 \miino &c t>a°'^-'l us, unlefs h: is affured of their good will who have fhcwed themfelves our mortal enemies, 
 or el(e fon\e other caufe emboldiied him tofomc other purpofe , &c. by the fecond he might be a- 
 ftaidof fo great prefumption,being but a 7'>'«^'»t'<'w'" 5 not yet allowed of , and to us known to be 
 cut off. 
 I. Dt ^^' '^^'^" points I cannot decipher and judj»e, but referre them to the profound wifdome and high 
 
 providence of God, wherefore and how tarre he hath admitted him to be privy of our Aftions, -and 
 lo a^itnefs to fome purpofe s fftjficient. All things be to the honour and glory of God- Amen,

 And he came with me and ("at in his place. 
 
 E. K. I fee a great plain like unto a field , as though it were a ^jf»i 
 Mile over , in the end of it there is a great high rotten Tree , all 
 the grafle is as though it were withered and burned , there com- 
 ''mcth a beam as of fire from Heaven , and lighteth upon the Tree, 
 now there commeth water out of the root of the Tree , as though 
 it were a Sea, and fpreadeth all the plain over : And the Tree open- 
 eth and there commeth a Man out of it, his hair hangeth down 
 unto his girdle ftead,his garment covereth him down from his fhoul- 
 ders, and hangeth behind him down upon the water. 
 
 The earth hath now drunk up all the water, and the Man ftan- 
 deth upon the dry ground. 
 
 All the place is full of green graffe about a cubit high. 
 
 Now the Man is out of light. 
 
 It feemed to be as beyond and without the Stone. 
 
 The Vifion is clean dif-appeared. 
 
 ^ I expounded this Vilion in Latin to the Lord Rofenberg.

 returneth into the Wood again , the body of the white lycth on* 
 the ground. Now he turneth his feet up. 
 
 Now he ftandeth on his legs again. 
 
 He followeth the Bear the fame way he went, he would lift up 
 hiinfelf as if he would fly, but he cannot. 
 
 All this Wood, Bear, and two Fowles are vanillied. 
 •- ■£. A; Below ftandeth a great Cafi:le,at the foot of the Hill on 
 which that Wood did ftand, down in a valley from the Hill goeth a 
 great high Bridge of Stone long (in fight) about ten Englifli miles 
 long. 
 
 Befide the entrance, on the right hand of that Caftle, is like a 
 piai, with motions coeleftial in it, of Sunnc and Moon. 
 
 Now commeth a Bear , (black as the other) a very 2;rca|?mon- .r r 
 ftrous Bear. The Bridge quaketh under him as he pafi'eth it toward ''w- 
 the Caftle he roareth, lookingtoward the Caftle. I^e fteppcth up to 
 the Dial, and taketh the Moon out of it, and tearcth it all in pieces 
 with his teeth. The Caftle falleth , and the bridge where he ftand- 
 eth is broken. The Caftle is all in ruine. 
 
 The Bear ftandeth upon the edge of the bridg,andbeholdeth the 
 ruine of the Caftle down into a pit as it were. 
 
 Now he goeth back and the biidg falleth down after him. 
 
 Now the Wood appearech again, and he goeth into the Wood. 
 
 Now that Vifion is all vaniihed away.

 Cloke about him, hanging his hands down by his fides. 
 
 A. NoUiing elie efteemed or judged to be ftiewu in the Stone, by the Childe, wecea-

 A. In the forenoon I brought the Childe to the Exercife, and he faid as followeth. I. 
 
 I fee two men with Crowns of gold upon their heads : their appa- 
 rel is black and white. I cannot fee their feet. Their taces are white, 
 their eyes ar^ black like fpots of ink. 
 
 There appear now two other, without Crowns : of the which one 
 jftandeth whole before, and of the other I fee nothing but the head, 
 which ftandeth behinde the firft. - . 
 
 I fee not any with Crowns now. The apparel of him is white 
 that I fee. 
 
 I fee no hands of him. I fee nothing now. 
 
 The f snares and pricks appear again as yefterday. 
 
 And I doubted it was fomethuig of the Glafs it f«lf: as there were in it certain

 The fquares are now turned alfo into other fhapes, which I cannot

 Now the Letters be gone, and the fquares do appear again. 
 
 The fquares are 'gone, and a word is there. 
 
 The letters are clearer then they were : for all the lines and letters 
 do appear white. 
 
 There appeareth a B, with a fquare, with four black pricks in it. 
 
 It is gone. 
 
 Now fome of the fquares are come amongft the letters B D O.

 Now there appeareth a young man with a white doublet, and his 
 arms by his fide, and a B before him againft his doublet. He hath a 
 black br'ard and a white face. I fee no hair on his head : his beard 
 is a li'-tJe 
 
 He is now changed : he hath on his doublet breaft, on each fide 
 three black lines. 
 
 He is gone, and another is come in his place, with a white leather

 The jis^ht of the candle did feem to ihine fuddenly on his face, and 
 po away again. It did nqt fhine on his doublet, but onely on his 
 face and his head. 
 
 There is now another mnn come in,who holdetb up both his hands: 
 the upper part of his fleeves are whice,and the half towards his hands 
 black.

 Here ■ r? now but fix fquares, and one man. I fee no farther of 
 the man but to rhe wafte of his doublet.

 A. T "fPon this former part of the Third Aftion General, where my firft begotten Son 
 \_J[ (namely Anfrr) was alTigned to the Miniftry of feeing and hearing, in place and" 
 ttead of E.K. if he would utterly refvfe the ^ame office (hitherto by him executed, and by 
 him to be executed, uucil the fcven aftions general finiftied) And that the fame Childe 
 and Son, in the mean fpuce (that is to fay, between the day of the part of Aftion recei- 
 ved, and the end of the fame: determined to be fourteen day es after) fhould be exercifed 
 before GoJ. I thereupon thinking that E. JC. woidd, ftiould, or belt could inftruft and 
 dirfeft the Childe in that exercife, did alwayes await, that E.K. would of himfelf call the 
 Boy CO that Exercife with him ; and fomuch the rather, becaufe hefaid, that he was very 
 ghd now that he p'mhlkave a Witnefs of the thivgs jhewed and dtclaredhy ^iritual Creatures: 
 And that he would be more wdling to Jo what ihould be fo enjoyned to him to do, then 
 if oncly he himfelf did fee, and that for divers caufes. But when E. K. faid to pie, that 
 I ihould exercife the Childe and not he, and that he would not, I thereupon appointed 
 with my felf to bring the Childe to the place, and to offer him, andprefent him to the 
 fervice of Seeing and Skrying from God, and by Gods aifignment, and of the time ©f 
 fourteen daycs yet remaining, being the 15, 16, 17 dayes of April, and next before the 
 iS day, (the day alFigned to end the Aftion in) to have the Childe exercifed in them. And 
 thereupon contrived for the Childe ciiis order of Prayer enfuiitg.

 Hereupon, ^fiw/H/«j morning, (the 15 of this ^pri/) I brought the Childe to the

 Stone in the frame, (my firft fanftified Stone) and caafed him on his knees, to fay the 
 forefaid Prayer. And I alfo piaid to the Childs hearing, other Prayers to God for the

 There appeared to him (as he judged) divers little fquare figures, with pricks, and di-

 crets of the books already delivered unto us : Thinking that it was eafie for us to per- 
 form that unity which was required to be araongft us four ; underftanding all after th£ 
 Chri.iian and godly fenfe. But E.K. who had yefterday feen and heard another meaning 
 of this unity required, utterly abhorred to have any dealing with them farther, and did 
 intend to accept at their hands the liberty of leaving off" to deal with them any more : 
 which his undcirtanding,as it was ftrange and unpleafant unto me,fo I earncftly requefte4 
 to be relblved therein in manner as followeth. 
 
 At the fame time and in the fame place this enfued. 
 
 NOTE. 
 
 A. Upon Mr. Kelly his great doubt bred unto me of Madinii her words yefterday, fpo- 
 kcn to hmi, that we two had our two wives in fnch fort, as we might ufe them in common^ it was 
 agreed by us, to move the queftion, whether the fenfe were of Carnal ufe (contrary to the 
 law of the Commandment) or of Spiritual love, and charitable care and unity of 
 niindes, for advancing the lervice of God. 
 
 E.K. Upon a Scroll, like the edge of a Carpet, is written, 
 » 'De utroq-^ loquor, 
 
 A. The one is exprefly againftthe Commandement of God : neither can I by any 
 means confent to like of that Doftrnic. And for my help in that verity, I do call down 
 the power of Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and all the good Angels, 
 (Tiis faithfiil Miniftcrs) to alfift me in the defence of my faithful obedienc* to the law of 
 theCofpel, and of his Church.

 E. K. Now it is vaniflied, 
 
 A. Hereupon we were in great amazement and grief of mirnJe , that fo hardjand (as 
 it, } et fcenied unto me) fo impure a Doftrine, was popounded and enjoined unto us of 
 tliemjwhoml alvvayes (from the beginning hitherto) did JK^ge and ejleei7t, undoubtedly ^ to 
 be good Angels : And had unto E K. offered my foiiliK a fawn, to difcharge E.K. his credit- 
 ing of them , as the good and faithful Minifters of Almighty God. But now, my heart 
 ■was fore afRifted upon many caufes : And E.K. had (as he thought) now, a juft andfuf- 
 ficient caufe, to forfake dealing with them any more. As his prayer to God of a long 
 time hath been(asinthe former part of this Aftion may appear.) 
 
 After our going out of the Chappeljand at our being at dinner, when we four (whofe 
 heads fo were united , in a pillar mewed, as is before {ec down , I found means to make 
 feme little declaration of our great grief fmine chiefly) now occafioned, eitherto try us, 
 or really tobeexecuteif, inthecomi^aon and indifferent ufing of Matrimonial Afts a- 
 ■? niongft any couple of us four : Which thing was ftrange to the women : And they hoped 
 
 of fdme more comfortable iffue of the caufe. .And fo we left off. 
 
 After Dinner, asE. if. was alone, there appeared unto him little creatures of a cubit 
 
 high : and they came to the Still where he had the fpirit of VV ine diftilling over out of 
 
 a Retorto : Andoneof them (whofe name they exprcfled Bf«) faid that it was in vain fo 
 
 to hope for the beft fpirit of the Wine : And ihewed him how to diftill it , and feparate 
 
 it better. And moreover how to get oyl of the fpirit of Wine, as it burned in the lamps: 
 
 And began to ask E.K. what Country-man he was? And when he had anfwered an 
 
 Englijh-man, he asked then, how he came hither ? he anfwered by Sea: Then faid he. 
 
 And who helped you to pafsthe marvellous great dangersof the Sea.Andfo took occalion 
 
 to fpeak of the benefits which God had hitherto done for us,very many .And this Ben./aid 
 
 than among very nwny other thing?(as Mr. E.X.told me on Saturday night after Supper 
 
 5c»wastbe holding on his talk almoft till two of the clock after midnight) 7hat he it wot that deliver- 
 
 dtliveier of ed iiim,er gave unto hk hands the pwder. And alfo he faid either than or the next day at 
 
 the powder the furthelt,that tinleafi he would be conformable to the will of God in this laft Aftion 
 
 to £.A'.at declared , that he would take thevertue and force of the fowder from it : That it Ihouldbe 
 
 the digging unprofitable: Andthathejhotdd become a beggar. 
 
 in England, ^j^^j ^^ me alfo he faid that I did evil to require froof , or teftimony now , that this laft 
 le°ft co"d; J^o^rine was from God Almighty,and faid that I ihould be led prifoner to Ronie,Scc. 
 tionally". '' ^^ to\do( England, and faid. That about July or November her Majefty fticuld from

 K.fhi. ^hat this prefent Pope at his Mafs Ihould be deprived of life before two years to an end. 
 
 And that another (houldbe Pope, who fhould be Decimus quintiu of his 
 
 name ; And that he would begin to reform things, but that fhortly he (liould of the Car- 
 dinals be ftoned to death. And that after that there fhould be no Pope for fonie 
 years. 
 Englf.ud' Of England he faid. That after the death of our dear Queen, One of t^e houfe 0/ Auftria

 After ail thefe, and many other things told me by thefame Mr.E.fC. we departed each About 2 of 
 to his bed, where I found my wife awake, attending to hear fome new matter of me from the clock at- 
 Mr. Kelly his reports of the apparitions, continued with him above four hours, being elfe f'^f mid- 
 alone, I then told her, and faidj J<?;«e, I fee that there is no other remedy, but as hath '}'. ^^U

 Thereupon fhe fell a weeping and trembling for a quarter of an hour : And I pa-

 nilhment, did perfwade her that fhe lliewed her felf prettily refolved to be content for 
 God hk fake and bii fecret Purpofes^to obey the Admonifhment. 
 
 £i. Note, Becaufe I have found fo much halting and untruth in E. K. his reports to ^p^// 20. 
 niemade, of the fpiritual Creatures, where I have not been prefent at an Aftion : and 
 becaufe his memory may fail him, and becaufe he was fubjeft to ill tempters, I believe 
 fo much hereof as fhall by better trial be found true,or conformable to truth. 
 
 A. Note E.K. had this day divers apparitions unto him in his own Chamber, 
 
 ancUjiflruftions in divers matters which he regarded not^ but remained flill in his purpofc

 A. Note : 
 
A true "B^ation of Dr. Dec his J&ions^ nith Spirits, Sea ly 
 
 A. Note : When E.K. had fliewed me this Note, I by and by brought fortli my book 
 of E«of?' his Tables, and found the four letters r t b d to be the four firft letters of the 
 four p rincipal fquares landing about the black Crofs : and that here chey were to be pla- 
 ced ocherwife than as I had fet them. And in the firft placing of them together, I re- 
 member that I had doubt how to joyn them j for they were given apart each by 'them- 
 felves. 
 
 Secondly, I found out the 4 Charafters ; Hiving they were inverfei fomewh.it, and 
 one of them clofed : wherof I found none like,but very near. Thefe Churafters were of 
 every fqua re one. 
 
 Thirdly, I did take thefe numbers contained between the lines (fome more and fome 
 fewer) to be words to be gathered out of the Table of letters : fo many words as were 
 diftinft companies of numbers ; it is to wit, 41. 
 
 Hereupon we began to number the fquares wherein the letters flood in Enochs Tables 
 as I had them, but we could noi exaftly finde the words, but fomewhat near. Hereupon 
 being tired, anddefiroiis to know the fenfe of that Cypher, we left off till after fupper, 
 and then we affayed again : but we could not bolt it out, though we knew very near 
 ■what was to be done by the inftruftion of a jpiritual Voice, now and then helpin" us to- 
 ward the praftife. 
 
 At length E.K. fpai willed to go down into his Chamber, and I did remain ftill at our 
 Dineing Table till his return,which was within an hour or fomewhac more. And at his 
 return this he brought in writing.

 four only, is above our humane reafon , and Chrijiian Jrofejjitn to like of : For that in out-

 Covenant with thee ( for that, thy merciful promifcs made unto us , may be to us per- 
 formed ; and thy divine purpofes in us and by us, may be furthered, and advanced and

 1 Edward KeUy by good and provident (according to the Laws 
 and ordinances of God) determination and confideration in thefe 
 former A6i ions, that is to fay, appearings, fhevvs made, and voyces 
 uttered, by the within named in this Book , and the refl whatfoever 
 Spirits have from the beginning thereof( which at large by the Records 
 appeareth) not only doubted and difliked their infinuations and do- 
 (51 rine uttered, but alfo divers and fundry times ( as coveting to eif- 
 chew and avoid the danger and inconvenience that might either by 
 them, their felves, or the drift of their dodrine enfue , or to my 
 indamagemcnt divers wayes, happen) fought to depart from the ex- 
 ercifes thereof : and withal boldly ( as the fervant of the Son of 
 God) inveighed againft them ; urging them to depart, or render bet- 
 ter reafon of their unknown and uncredible words and Speeches de- 
 livered \ and withall often and fundry times friendly exhorted the 
 Right Worfhipful Mafter JOHN DEE (the chief follower thereof) 
 as alfo in the Records appeareth, to regard his fouls health, the good 
 proceeding of his wordly credit (which through Europe is great) the 
 better maintenance to come of his wife and children , to beware of 
 them,and withall to give them over : wherein although I friendly and 
 brotherly laboured, my labour feemed to be loft and counfel of him 
 defpifed , and withall was urged with replies to the contrary by him 
 made, and promifes, in that cafe, o'f the lofs of his fouls health, if they 
 were not of God : Whereunto upon as it were (bme farther tafte of 
 them, or opinion grounded upon the frailty of zeal, he ceafed not al- 
 fo to pawn unto me his foul, &c. which his perfwafions were the 
 chief and onely caufe of my this fo long proceeding with them : And 
 now alfo at this inftant , and before a few dayes having manifeft oc- 
 cafion to think they were the fcrvants of Sathan , and the children 
 of darknefs ■■, becaufc they manifeftly urged and commanded in the 
 name of God a Do&inc Damnable , and contrary to the Laws of 
 God, his Commandements , and Gofpcl by our Saviour Chrift as a 
 Touchftone to us left and delivered , did openly unto them diflike 
 their proceeding, and brotherly admonifhcd the faid Worfhipful, 
 and my sjood friend Mr.jOHN DEE to beware of them : And now 
 having juft occafion to determine what they were , to confider all

 their words perufcd fpoken heretofore, did as it were (bccaufe of the

 of further deliberation : fo that thereby, I did partly of my (cl^, and 
 partly by the true meaning of the faid Mr. DEE in the receiving of 
 them, as from God :, and after a fort by the zeal I faw him bear unto 
 the true worfhip and glory of God to be ( as that was by them , pro- 
 mifed) by us promoted, defcend from my lelf , and condefcend unto 
 his opinion and determination, giving over all reafon, or whatfoever

 former a6lions did nothing offend them but much comforted them : 
 and therefore this laft,not agreeing with the reft (which they think to 
 be according to the good will and wholefome LawofGod) maketh 
 them to fear, becaufe it exprefly is contrary to the Commandement 
 of God : And thereupon d^firing God not to be offended with 
 their ignorance,required another a6}ion for better information here- 
 ini in the mean, vowing, fafting, and praying , Mrs. DEE hath cove-

 requeft of having an a^lion, I abfolutely anfwer , that my ftmplicity 
 before the Highcft is fuch as I truft will excufc me : And becaufe 
 the fumme of this Doftrine, given in his name , doth require obedi- 
 ence which I have (as is before written) offered , I think my felf dif- 
 charged : And therefore have no farther caufe to hazzard my felf 
 any more in any adion. Wherefore I anfwer that if it be lawful for 
 them to call this Do6lrine in queftion , it is more lawful for me to 
 doubt of greater perril •■, confidering that to come where we are ab- 
 folutely anfwered were folly , and might redound unto my great in- Ajj 
 convenience. Therefore befeeching God to have mercy upon >|H

 A. Not long, lo, there appeared a great flame of fire in the principal Stone, (both 
 ftanding on the Table before E.IT.) which thing though he told me, I made no end of my 
 Prayer to God. And behold, fuddenly one feemed to come in at the fouth window of 
 the Chappel, right againftE.K. (But before that, the ftone was heaved up an handful 
 high, andfet down again well, which thing E.K. thought did lignifie fonie ftrange mat- 
 ter toward.) Then after, the man that came in at the window feemed to have his nether 
 yarts inacloud, and with fpred-abroad arms to come toward E./C, At which fight he 
 ihrinked back fomewhat, and then that Creature took up between both his hands the 
 |fo«e rfwi fr/z»« «/ go/^, and mounted up away as he came.. E.K. catched at it, but he 
 could not touch it. At which thing being fo taken away, and at the fight thereof E.K. 
 was in a great fear and trembling, and had trfworrw cordis for a while. 5ut I was very 
 glad and well pleafed.

 which ycfterday was brought again: And that it fliould fo be, Madimi 
 had forewarned E. K. when /he /hewed it unto him , when alfo /he 
 gave the prints of the letters of the backfidc of the bottomc of the 
 gold frame of it. 
 
 * E. K. There appeareth here a great man all in bright 
 
 Equus alius j^afj^^fg fitting Upon a white horfe : he hath a fpear all fiery in his 
 left hand , he now putteth into his right hand ; he hath a long fword 
 by his fide : he hath alfo a target hanging on his back, it feemeth to 
 be of /i:ecl : It hangcth from his neck by a blue lace^it cometh up be-

 all /luddcd with white : a very comely horfe it is. The man is in com- 
 pleat harnefs,the top of his helmet hath a /harp form. 
 
 Upon his Target , are many Cherubins , as it were painted in 
 Circles : there is one in the middle : About it as a Circle with fix in 
 it, and then a Circle with eight , and then a great Circle with ten in 
 ^'"*- it, and in the greatcfl: are twenty j and about the Circle of twenty 
 
 are feven parts : at each of which points is a Cherubin \ Their 
 faces be like burning gold , their wings be more brighter and as it 
 were their wings coming over their heads do

 veiloufly contrived,for defence as it were of his hinde legs.

 phael am n w come at Gods pleafure^and at his commandemcnt to fpeak^witht'.ee^and mak^ kjtown 
 vnto thee as far forth as in my power lieth to fpeak^Godhathfent me to declare unto thee.- the caufe 
 of thy defire now at this time, John Dec, as thou art an earthly man , if thou doji defire to have 
 help from God of fitcb things m earthly men cann t he without while they have time here in thif 
 mortal life, thou defirejl to have kjiowledge as concerning things hid , the wHch I Raphael have 
 no delight, neither pleafnre infpeakjng of any fuch earthly matter, or eanhly cafes. But my de- 
 light is in the Almighty, and in his wifdome. But notwithjianding at this recjueji, and thy inward 
 defire in God to be certified of this treafure , the which thefe two men whom thou kjtoweji do fpeak 
 of,thiy ever had a ttme appointed of God for it,and it was not ufed accordingly as they fhould have 
 done. Now this fecend time-, becaufeyou have a defire to have kelp and kjiowledge at the hands of 
 the Almighty, I Raphael do command thee and thofe men whom thou kjiowejl, that they fl: all not 
 intermeddh,or to takf it in hand before the tenth day o/Jamiary be paji, f,r if they do they (hall 
 not prevail, for that is a time that God hath beji appointed for the faid purpofe, andf^r the quiet 
 enjoying of it ; fo tv'nn that day is paii, then let th-m in the name of God enter into that wor'\ 
 And ifihey will be fuch men <w they ought for to be, and as Gods will is that theyfliould be, to dea] 
 faithfully and truly one with the other in deed and in word, God will thenblefs their good purpofe 
 and bring it to their head wf en they (liali take in hand to open the earth, God -will prefently at that 
 in-tant tbenfufer their good purpofe to tal^e effed , and the matter to be effeUed and had, fo that 
 they Jhall not be put of, if they (hall he are or fee any thing that they fl^all difli^e , but fafely to 
 Jiand in the hof e,and craving at Gods hand to have that good help to be a warrant between them 
 and all hurt and danger -whatfcever may hehapfen,and fo overcome. I fay. If they will faithfully 
 fray unto G od with their whole truji in G ed, G od will hlefs their good fuccefs, if they be otherwife 
 then ji ^.ood never jlir, and their good fuccefs will be againji them. So I Raphael have made 
 kjiown unto thee Gods purpofe in thit thy requejl. 
 
 f 
 For this I have faid. 
 
 John Dee, /Raphael, did make kjiownunto this defire of that fecret , and that great gift 
 that gave vnto thee in fuch order and manner as thou kjiowefi: where thou hidji it , and that never 
 as yet had\i the kjicwtedge and the wifdome that God will give thee as Concerning that, and 
 
 tnany mo fuch 7<nto thee : So this rare-gift being taken away from thee by them 
 
 thou kjioweji, by taking thy key , end fo taking of it from thy keeping, it was the will and purpofe 
 of God,tJiat I Raphael jhould give fuch .. . that thou (fjouldefl have knowledge ... of the fame, 
 ihoujhalt takf fuch courfe .... thou may eft obtain it again, and whenthou haft it, thou (halt 
 pnit into the fame cheji again , and commit it into the- cujhdy and keeping of thy very friend 
 John Pontoys , and he jhall,and will deal faithfully and friendly with thee in keeping the fame 
 until fuch time as by that ... the which thou k^toweft is promifed unto thee , that thou fh alt re- 
 ceive the perfeB widerftanding vf the hid kjiowledge and fecrecie of God that is not as yet made 
 
 k^own unto thee, and as hath been faid, fofljalt thou have fuch wifdome delivered unto 
 
 thee by me Ra phael that jhall come in fuch . . . and order as hath been late made known unto thee 
 for thy good in fucb jhort and fpeedy time to he performed, and fo thus much I have made k*iown 
 unto thfe, as God hath in jiore for thee to be per formed. thus much 1 have now faid,and given thee 
 cunning to keep it in fuch maner as hhave fpok^n, or elfe thou wilt be difappointed ofthat,and . . . 
 it will hide (uch purpofe as God will have come to pafs,fo in his mighty power command me to come. 
 I have for this matter fini(hed ; If thou have any thing fpeedily, ask^ in ... for I am to depart. 
 
 John Dee, If thou wilt have all thy caufe then ... . as thou muftjhew unto thy likjng and

 John Dee, I am Raphael, one of the blejfed and ektt Angels of the Almighty; and at hk 
 will and hi^ gcod pleafure, he hath commanded me to appear here at this time, to fet forth the tfill 
 and plea f lire of the Almighty God. 
 
 John Dee, my meffage that I have at this time to deliver unto thee, k of great force, m that 
 GoA would have thee t:j do. And where,w it was fiid at my laji appearing at this beholder y that 
 I would appear again, and now it hath plea fed God to fend me to perform and make kjtown ac- 
 cordingto that which wm then faid, that all things before promifed (hould be made plainly 
 known what Gods will is to be done in all that hath been before faid. 
 
 Now I do mak/ kjfown unto you the plain meaning and underjianding thereof. 
 
 Firii th u haii been promifed the fecret kjiowledge and under ^landing of the Fhilofophers Stone, 
 of the Book of St. Dimftans, to have the kjtowledgeof them. 
 
 It is ftnte a long time, as thou kjiowefi to mans reafon, and to the mindc of man, a. few years 
 is with man thought to be big ■■, andnow God hath been thy kseper, and wo;r chiefiy created thee, 
 and hath fuffcred thee to have time to live unto this age : and furthermore, thou doji lik^ vnto thy 
 Nativity, and confidering thy great age that the conrfe of Nature for age, if lik^'ly, by thy rea- 
 fon, to takf place. BUT J >hn Dee, thou d H well remember unto whom,in the holy Scriptures, 
 thatGodin his mercies did adde and put to fifteen years longer than the time was fet him : So 
 think^not but God in his 7verci-^s will be as great unto thee. And now to come to the matter where- 
 by to let thee to utiderjiand why thou badd not thus thi^fe rare gifts and promifes performed unto 
 thee, it was the will of God to hjep them away.., and to fuffer the heart of thy fupreme head and 
 governour, '.nder God, to behardmd agaiajl thef, that thou art no better account made of unto 
 him, hut to he fuch an one that doth deal with Devils and by S or eery. , as you commonly term them 
 Witchcraft : and who dath, and who haih informed him, to be thus evil and hardly informed a~ 
 gain^ thee, but only the Devil, mid by the hatred of thy fecret enemy whom thou kjioweji (Salif-

 four wicked ones,the which are uCCoun:ed the four Rulers of the Air,whofe names 6f OrieSjEgym,

 ticing and hifj he ihinkfth' to be pleafant and good wifdom that he receiveth at their hands ; That 
 he and his Devils do feek thy overthrow in all good things, and doth and (hall, fo far forth 
 as God will fuffer the-!", fe\all the malice and hindrance in all good caufes to be done to thy 
 good. Therefore now John Dee I am to let thee to underft and plainly what Gods will and his 
 great pirpofe if to have thee to do, although it may feem hard to thy good likjng, conftiering as 
 thou doji think,i the weak^ejj^of thy body, and courfe of age .- yet notwithjlanding, that fame God 
 that hath benthyfrotecor and keeper until this prefent time of years, that fame merciful God 
 Jhall keep thee, and make thee able to perform thinn^s that pall be made kjtown unto thee ; for God 
 will not beliow fuch rare gifts as I have before faid, amongst thofe which be unworthy of fuch great 
 blefffngs from the Almighty. For God will not bejlow Pearls amongH thofe that will not believe nor 
 under jiand that God hath any fuchhlefftngs to bejhw upon men : for I fay vnto thee, John Dee, 
 that if God ffjould or would befiow thofe blejJiMgsuponthee, even at this pre fent, or at any time 
 to be Ihortly performed and delivered unto thee : Then, except that thou fliouldH make 
 all things plainly kjtown of Gods fee rets delivered unto thee, unto thy fupreme head under 
 God here upon earth,and likewife thy enemy to be partaker in thefefecrets andgreat gifts ofGod,if 
 thou wouldU not perform as much unto them,as God (hould give wifdom unto thee,there?n,thy life 
 would and Jhould, by the envy and malice of thofe wicked ones,and by thy great enemy thou fhoiddff 
 jpeedily be cut off from this life, but God will net have it fo. So if thou wilt do as G»d (hall 
 command thee by this meffage, thou fhalt have all thc(e.meffages, promifes and wifdom, both for 
 t^r Fhilofophers Stone, the book of S.Dunftans,tie fecret wifdom of that Jewel that was de- 
 livered, as thou knowefi, in what maimer it is plainly kjtown unto thee. 
 
 So now it is the will of God to fuffer thy fupreme Head his heart to be hardned againft 
 thee; and likfwife for thy great enemy for his wickfd injirudions againii thee,God doth fuffer it fo 
 to be, even ,h Pharaoh his heart was hardned againii the children of God, fo jiandetk the mat- 
 ter againji thee with them. If is the will of God fo to fuffer it to their great account that they 
 (hall have to makf, when it jhall pleafe the Almighty that that time (hall be, that they muHreiider 
 unto God their accounts. Now John Dee it is the will of the Almighty to fend we Raphael te 
 deliver unto thee this Mt^dge, the which will fcem unto thee to be very hard : ^^frf* t/'OM 
 art the fervant of God, and one whom God doth favour and love (^although the world by wicked 
 enemies doth hate thee) willingly and obediently follow that courfe the which God in hii mer- 
 cies at this time Jhall makf kjtown unto thee.

 Raph. Thoii dcjl taf{e an hard matter in hand. This man Thovm<> W^h&cr had it, anli 
 hath it in his keeping as yet, but he will not yield that he hath it. And for Eccleiton to 
 deal by extremities with him, he jhall prtvatl little, he Jhall not thereby obtain his purpjfe. But 
 by friendly dealing with the farty, and in proffering hint to be a partaker with him, he mjy 
 yield unto Ecclefton. But otherwife^ the matter will grow hard. I would from God advife 
 thee, John Dee, to enter as few of thefe matters as may be, for this will not be compnffed, ex~ 
 cept that he jhall proceed into the m^s houfe according unto Law ; tnd then he jhall entangle 
 hinifdf into trouble, and for the thing never the better : but, as I have faid, by friendly deal- 
 ing he way yield, and fo far forth as it jhall pleafe God^ I will work by Gods favour to 
 make him yield. And thus much J have faid, and let it fuffice. 
 
 It doth remain as yet in a Coffer that is fomewhat of a white colour, hut he will, if he he 
 ftirred he will then remove it, and hide it in the ground in a little Parlour that he hath. And fo 
 I have fpokfn and anfwered thee at this time, as concerning

 A. Note Upon occafion of further talk and jfffcfc of wy Jewel that was brought, 
 
 I asked Bartholomew if ever he had feen it fince it was fet in gold ; and he thought that he 
 had not feen it : Whereupon I went fpeedily to my Cheft, unlocked it, and took it out, 
 and imdid the Cafe, and (ec the Stone in his due manner. 
 
 And by and by did Raphael appear in the Stone, and in voice faid thus, as fol- 
 loweth : 
 
 Raph. Inthe Name of Jefuf Chrift, I am Kzj>h^e\ who fe voice thou didH hear right now. 
 And now, in Gods holy Name, for thy good, and for thy comfort, I have, now, here, in thi^ Pearl

 OMoji merciful Lord and Savitur Chriji Jeftu, who it and tp.w the Creator and Redeemer 
 of Mankjndty and of all hit blejfed Creatures. In bis power I Raphael am now come at 
 hit will and commandmenty and fo likfwife at his good fleafure I muji then return at fucb time 
 Of be hath commanded me. "- • ' 
 
 John Dee, in the Name of the Mojl Higbeji, I am come tt deliver unto thee tih my 
 Mefj'age, the which God in his goodnefi hath commanded me. 
 
 Firfi, I Raphael am fent of God at this time mofi chiefly to fut thee in that good remem- 
 
 hranse of my laji appearing to your frefence, to let thee to underjiand, that loo}{, what courfe 
 
 God iit his mercies did fet then down, what way thou fhouldU ta\e to enter into this Journey, 
 
 the which God in his goodneji is mofi willing that thou jhouldfl enter into. For, John Dee, 
 
 God hath detlaredy and made manifefily kjiewn unto thee at my lafi appearing, what fervice 
 
 Cod would ufe thee untOy and all fuch purpofes that were the lafi time Ipekfnof, jhallbebyGodi 
 
 favour and his merciful good gift performed unto thee : and fear thou not, but God will 
 
 fafely help and prefcrve thy body in thy Journey, to that end, that thou fhouldeft be 
 
 in tha t place wherein thou mighteft have time to enter into all fuch fervice as God hath 
 
 by me ma'de known unto thee. For^ John Dee, fuch hath Gods mercies been in fuffer- 
 
 ing wicked men to prevail againft thee, and they have and do make a fcom qf thee here 
 
 in this thy Native Countrey : So it is with thee as it was with Chrifi and his Apofiles^ being 
 
 mofi cruelly ufed in their own Native Ctuntreys ; fo John Dec, God hath fnffered thofe wic- 
 
 h^ed men to pluck thee down in worldly affairs, the which jhould be maintenance for thee and 
 
 for thine^ and without fuch maintenance mancannot be without ^ while he is here in this vale of 
 
 Mifery. Such wicked men have mofi cruelly ufed thee, even as Job by Gods fufferance, who 
 
 fuffcred the Devil to prevail againfi him : yet Gods mercies be fo great unto theey that although 
 
 they Qmofi wickedly") have robbed thee of thy poffeffion, yet God would not fufer thofe wicked 
 
 ones by any of their malicious praUices to prevail in any wife to hurt thy body, as Jobs wm : 
 
 For if they Qirough their wicked purpofes) could have wrought fuch cruelty againfi thee, thou 
 
 bad^ not been a man living here upon earth until this time. So John Dee, thou dofi kfiow who 
 
 k thy mortal enemy, who, rules next unto your earthly King. 
 
 A. 
 
 Why thou maift well kpow, for I have made it kftown before time unto thee, that he is not thy 
 friend, though thou hafi not offended him in any wife, 'therefore, beeaufe that this thy Na-' 
 tive Countrey is not a place fit for Gods purpofes in his wifdome to be beftowed upon thee 
 here, Therefore at my lafi Meffage, God did fend me to maks kifwn unto thee, whether he 
 would have thee to go, t;b<it t^ere tfco« mightft bc a man ; and that man, whom God hath 
 appointed to make his Wifdome known : for thou art that man whom God hath cbofen, that 
 ( acctrding'y Jt it was p/^ jifjtfr^rfj J "that itb" mortal man in flefli, but onely £«oc^, had 
 orfhall have the like wifdome made ifiown, plainly to be underftood by any man, or 
 thou thy felf (halt under fiand and receive at the hands of the Almighty. Tberef. re it is bit 
 will and purpofe of God, that he would have thee in that Countrey, for this thy Native Coun- 
 trey is not worthy of gifts that thou (halt receive at the hands of God, to come, and 
 to be made known unto thofe which be not worthy of fuch great gifts of Gods wif- 
 dome, to come amongft thofe that be unworthy. 
 
 Therefore, John Dee, in all thefe matters the which in favour at thii time made kjlOT»H 
 unto thee, the ektef and greatefi caufe of this my coming unto thee , is to ma^e the matter 
 plainly known, that God in his mercies would have thee with all diligence that thou canfi poffibly, 
 to hajle thee to that Countrey where Cod doth ctmmand thee, and at my lafi bting here thou 
 
 Fff hiftiffJ^ 
 
_ ±'2. Atrtiv^lation of Dr. Dee bis AHions^ vpith Spirits yd^c. 
 
 kjtcwejT what w<K r»y M^jfugei therefore do thy diligence to fulfil it at thou canji^ and God 
 will pt hk great helps vnto thee, in ilrengtkning of thy io'ly, aud otherwise, which jhtill le 
 to thy "cod. Anil thou being once in that flace vrhere God wovld have thee to he^ thou Jhouldsl 
 well prceive and f.ainJy underjland, that God tcill we/f mercifully work^ with theg for thy 
 good i« performins all fiich promifes, the which hath 'ie:n loth at the lajl time and at tha 
 
 time made kjtown unto tkee. 
 
 John Dee, I do fut thee inremewhrancej that whereas thou didii fjy, that thou hadU a 
 tortionof money feittkee from the Em^eroiiT unto thee; I tell thee, that the Devil in work:- 
 ing in the heart of one of thy enemies (^Cook^ I mean) did feek fome wajcs by his falfe 
 imuortant ill fpeeches, in moft falfe manner, unco one that did in fomewhat lee the Em- 
 perourto imderftand, what he had molt falfely, to thy difci edit (as he thoiighr) to 
 hinder thee, that thou Ihouldft not come to any help or credit at the £mperGur> hand. 
 tut John Dee, be of good comfort. The Empcrourof all Eniperours will be thy comfort, 
 and aid thee, and evermore p«r down thy enemies, that the Emperour (that thou (ficuldil 
 have received that fortion of) it jhaU be fo with thee, th.n be Ihall have more need of 
 thee, in fvchwifdowe ,k Gtd jhaU deliver unto thee; for tbcu f.-alt have no need of bi»t, but 
 oncly to keef good will and friendfhif betwixt hi^ and thee, in Jhewing thy felf friendly vnt9 
 him, M God Ihall hereafter give thee plainly to unieriiand. 
 
 Now, John Dee, I have made known unto thee what Gods will it in this wy meffage. JhU 
 ii the greateji andthetnoji frincif/U caufe, why God hath fmt me unto thee at this pefent 
 time. And now I have through Gods mercies delivered this hit Commandment unto thee : and 
 for this J have now (aid and finijhed. 
 
 A. BlefTed be the Almighty God, now and for ever. 
 
 Gladly I would have nnderllood how much the portion was which the Eniperour 
 would have Tent me. 
 
 John Dee, let it go, and fpeal{ no farther of it : for thou maijl be joyful, whereas it it 
 [aid unto tb::e, that he (hould have need of thee, and not thou of kini. therefore reafon no 
 more in that matter^ ■ 
 
 A, As concerning Mr. Ecc/fjJoM, 
 
 John Dee, in few words 1 aniwer thee. He hath dealt with the -parties in thofe affairs, hut 
 the ctJief -party wilt not, as yet, yield anything to be made k>iowM, hut doth \tuhbornly and jioutly 
 jiand in his own defence : ^«i Got/^ Cre/Jtr^rw have wrought with him, and nothing be will 
 (as yet) yield unto, except that thofe Creatures JhouU deal fo cruelly with him, of it were to 
 pull him apieces ; this it hit wicked ttubbornnefl. But God will bring the matter to light ; but 
 Ecclefton hath not dealt fc in the matter as Ik might have doHe,he it too to/lack^in hit wn caufe. 
 Therefore if the fault be in him, then do not blame the Creatures of God. For God could (as 
 you vcr}' well do know it) command that faid Treafure to be brought : but he will not 
 have it lo to be, becaufe it fliaU come by other means among men : So God hath a great care 
 and purpofe to do all for your ;<^ood, to k/ep matters out of blame and (lander of the world. 
 Of it might come topaffe, if it jhould come by any other wayes, but by this plot whi'h it laid down 
 to decline. And when it is the will of God that it pall be delivered, God will fo perfor:-,} it, 
 i-' man will do as he fhoiild do, in all reverend manner towards God-ward. And fc n-jte l 
 let yvu to perceive, and to k^now, that it it not of yet obtained, 
 
 i\. Whether hath the other party confeffed any thing ? 
 
 Raph. He hath n.t of y^t yielded openly ; but he hath in fecret manner prrfwaJed hit fel- 
 low, that the matter might be made known unto Ecclefton, in confeffing of all the whole maittr, 
 hut the other will not yet yield : but it were better for him to yield at the fir f, then to tarry 
 any longer, the leffe would be hit punifhment from God therein. And fo I let you to uHderjia,nd, 
 that you JhaU give God bit time to work^ in that matter at hit pleafure, and then JhaU it be to the 
 good of the owner J and of you Ukewife. And mif^l'b/fx'e faid.

 r„„-^. As concerning the bereaving me of n^^oifji^oods,! would gladly undcrftand who 
 jiath my filver double gilt bell-Salt, and othoi- things here of late conveyed from 
 niee. 
 
 Raph. John Dee, Tbit is the wiU and purpofe of God to command thee, although thou 
 dojl fuffer wrong becaufe thy goods be fo takjn away from ^bee, yet Gods will it fuch, that be 
 wiU havethee tobe a p;ace-maker in this Cf^ufe : foritispaft help to have it again : But as 
 thou art a mortal father, fo ufe that matter as a father, for thy fon had it, although he 
 would not, neither will confef! it. Andlikjwife for fuch things of late miffing about this boufe, 
 thou fhalt hereafter at plainly kjtow who had them, and how they Wire gone, a! thou do ji plainly 
 Mtderjiand fi,r thy Salt, hut thou Jhalt jiay and proceed no further, till fuch time Of I Ra-

 that thou wightejibe that man wherein God will tnofi viercifully help hit dijlrejfed cafe, therefore I

 made the matter plainly k^;own unto you. Frocede. 
 
 A . . . . Secondly, John Pontoys is defirous to know the end of the Polifh troubles. 
 
 Raph John Dee, in few words, for that matter, I anfwer thee. Thofe troubles wUlfcme- 
 
 what end to hit loffe 5 but it fl^all be no great matter, fo that God will work, the cafc that it jhall 
 end to hislikjng. And tkus much for this I have faid. 
 
 A.... As concerning the man and the Treafure, lam defirous to know whether 
 he will be content to afTign his title to Bartholomew, upon fome portion thereof delivered 
 unto him ; and what other he hath made acquainted with the matter ; and whether it 
 may not by Gods good liking be fet up without digging. 
 
 Raph ... . John Dee, in all this I hear thee, and I k.now thine intent herein. That man may
