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 />

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 />

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 />
