]\ft?er divers Ejaculations appropriate to theaftion, and the Curtain <strong>of</strong> white water yet<br />

remaining, E. K. thought divers times that he faw through the white Veil, and ftone<br />

and all, nothing appearing therein. £, K. immediately fell into a new doubting <strong>of</strong> the ve-<br />

liry <strong>of</strong> thefe anions, and faid he liad a Vilion by a good Creature the lalt night , vvho faid<br />

thefe Creatures with which we dealt, would no more appear unto htm. Hereupon he faid<br />

that both the lafl dayes skorner,and thefe our inflruftors were all Devils : and that he would<br />

As I was in my upper Study , and had gathered the holy words <strong>of</strong> the fecond and thir4<br />

call, and had conferred them with tlieir Englijh delivered alfo unto us : £. K. came up the<br />

flairs, andfo went into his Study, and came out again,and as he was gointj down the flaires I<br />

opened my Study door, and faluted him : He thereupon came up again , and came into<br />

my Study : And there I ftiewed him vvhat I had donej and how I had fome underftanding<br />

<strong>of</strong> th<strong>of</strong>e holy words, their fignifications by reafon <strong>of</strong> due applying the EnglijJj<br />

to the word Chriftus, intending thereby to have induced E.K. to like the better <strong>of</strong> the<br />

manner<strong>of</strong> our friends, duc,and Methodical, proceeding with us, and told him that unlefTe <strong>of</strong><br />

thisftrangc language I Oiould have thefe words delivered unto us Letter by Letter, we might:<br />

crre both in Orthography, and alfo <strong>for</strong> want <strong>of</strong> the <strong>true</strong> proiuniciation <strong>of</strong> the wo)ds,and di-<br />

ftinftions <strong>of</strong> the points, we might more miile the effeft expefted : But as on Juefdaj lafl; , fo<br />

years have learned all the feven Liberal fciences, if he had firft karned Logick , &c. where-i<strong>for</strong>e<br />

he would have no more to do with them any manner <strong>of</strong> way,wifhed himfelf in EngUndy<br />

and faid that if thefe books were his, that he would out <strong>of</strong> hand bum them , and that he had<br />

written to my Lord (by Pirniis') that he took ouf Teddhers to be deceivers, and wicked, and<br />

no good Creatures <strong>of</strong> God, with <strong>many</strong> fuch fpceches, and realons ('as he thought) <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce<br />

to difwade himfelf from any, more dealing with them : But willed me to ufe John my Boy as<br />

my Skryer, <strong>for</strong> that thefe fpiritual Creatures were not bound unto h\m,&c. 1 anfwered unto<br />

all thefe parcels and reafuus, as rime ferved declaring mj perfeU truji in G5«/,thac feeing I have<br />
