-out <strong>of</strong> ^' This voice out <strong>of</strong> the Stone being taken to be the voice <strong>of</strong> God, importeth as much as<br />

ii.j bionc one. if God himfelt had fealed to that as his will and decree, That all Creatures fhould render<br />

thankes unto him and glory ; ^««r : Dignum& JnjiKm eft. Amen.<br />

t.. 7 prayed firft, and declared our attending this day the promile <strong>of</strong> God to be per<strong>for</strong>med,<br />

&c.<br />

Ga Are four hours yet to come ? and I will he ready.<br />

Are thew^rks <strong>of</strong> wifdoinfecret, until I have afcended this Hill •<br />

Is the Harveft ready when the Corn it ripe ?<br />

Are the Labourers ready when their Inlhuments are prepared ?<br />

I have faid.<br />

All -iciflom it reckfinedhy the eternal ffill a^^untilit be faid, there is no aciion toUerable i j<br />

When the Sun fljinetk I will appear am.ngft yon ; when it Is faid Came:, lo I am ready. The dayes <strong>of</strong><br />

your fathers were hlefd; but the hour when thit Book, ihall be written Ihall he (zna:iiied,jea m<br />

the }i:i4deii f inteil.-dual underftanding.<br />

For herein is the Creation 0/ Adam with his tranfgreffion. Th^ Vignity and wifdom he had.<br />

The Errour and horror wherein he was drowned, yea herein is the power fpread <strong>of</strong> the highejl<br />

wording in all Creatures,<br />

For as there is a partioiil-*r Sonl or fire infiamiMg u»to every body ( I mean reafonable ) So there<br />

is an Vniverfal fire and a general hrightneffe giving general light unto thnn, which is but One^ and<br />

Jhineth through the whole,yea is meafured equally unto every thingfrom thebeginntHg.<br />

The life <strong>of</strong> all things is here kjzown :<br />

The reward <strong>of</strong> death to th<strong>of</strong>e that are rewarded <strong>for</strong> life.<br />

iSlone are rewarded but according to their deferts : <strong>of</strong> the which there are two kinds.<br />

I Ihefe are rewarded with death <strong>for</strong> their wickednejfe.<br />

2. So are they rewarded with life <strong>for</strong> their coniant living.<br />

Among]} the Angels there way be erroury and fin may make them fall fnm the hrightneffe <strong>of</strong> their<br />

glory.<br />

But to the Soul <strong>of</strong> man ( being once glorified ) firiis utterly, yea w<strong>of</strong>t largely opp<strong>of</strong>ite : Neither<br />

(hall that disunity ever he l<strong>of</strong>t,ftained, or defaced, that is obtained here With the worker <strong>of</strong> righteoufncffe<br />

and <strong>true</strong> wifdom^<br />

Whatfoiver hath heen from the beginning X fixce it was faid in Divine Determittatiom, Be it<br />

done ) is here incl<strong>of</strong>ed.<br />

,<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e Ihould this day he Hallowed and Sanctified be<strong>for</strong>e the Lord by you.<br />

<strong>for</strong> if the Prophets , did worfliip this day <strong>of</strong> his afcenfion , much more ought you (which<br />

have tailed <strong>of</strong> the firji, end (kail now tafle <strong>of</strong> the fecrets <strong>of</strong> his Judgements ) glorifie his coming :<br />

Satan, But with you Satan is bufie j His briftles ftand up, his featljers are caft abroad.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e watch and pray ; For th<strong>of</strong>e that go to Banquets put on their upper garments. Ammgji<br />

you there<strong>for</strong>e is no found belief ; Neither do youconftder the fcope <strong>of</strong> this bleffrdneffe : Butfuch<br />

is tljegreatneffe and excellency <strong>of</strong> his <strong>for</strong>ekjiowledge,that he fuffereth the enemy to carry a burden,<br />

yea fometimes to preach upon a Stage : For it is faid, Hejhall triumph unto the end, and flare<br />

himfelf here as he would have done above ; Neither fl^all he he thruji out <strong>of</strong> doors till the end be<br />

determined. There<strong>for</strong>e watch and pray, and look, about with diligence ; <strong>for</strong> th<strong>of</strong>e things Jhall he<br />

opened unto you which have no t been difcl<strong>of</strong>ed unto the Holy Ones.<br />

Oh, how hard a thing it is <strong>for</strong> fiejh to continue in the workj <strong>of</strong> Jujlice !<br />

Tea, oh how hard a thing it is <strong>for</strong> Wifiom to he acquainted with a hotchpot <strong>of</strong> filthineffe ?<br />

Cleanfeyour garmentSyLift upyoiir hearts, and rent your fanlts in pieces, that there may be<br />

one heart with one confent, and unto one end, unto him which is One and the End <strong>of</strong> all things : and<br />

to him <strong>for</strong> and in his truth,and<strong>for</strong> the greatneffc <strong>of</strong> his mercies : To whom bepratfe <strong>for</strong> ever.<br />

A. Amen.<br />

E- K. All the while (lie fpake there came a bright beamefrom the My*<br />

ftical Stone to the body <strong>of</strong> her, and at the end fhe mounted upward and<br />

difappeared.<br />

A. We fet up the hour glaflcs to meafure four hours juftly after this anfwer and in-<br />

ftruftions.<br />

Tiiefday, After Dinner about one <strong>of</strong> the clock and* the hours expired, and we attended<br />

the mercy <strong>of</strong>theHighcft.<br />

A. At a great gladfome fhining <strong>of</strong> the Sun ( whereas it had not fliined but a little and in .<br />

conftantly ever fince his lali words ) one appeared on the corner <strong>of</strong> the green filk Sarcenet, by<br />

the Mjftical Stone,She was like a woman as Galvah in face, but her apparel was a mans gown<br />

flirred with foynes, or,as Gentlewomen do wear upon gowns.<br />

A. Upon the diver/ity <strong>of</strong> your apparel we are to ask whether you be Galvah or no'*, or<br />

have you alfo,as I have done, put on your Holiday- cloths ?<br />

'<br />

Gal.
