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-

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-

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-

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

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-

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

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
man ? Truly, many books of old have been written to that effed:. Sp^*".: Um-
/>/rfc«5 is yet extant, a very learned book it cannot be denied, and of excellent ufe
for the underftanding of ancient Authors , Phylofophcrs efpecially. I could
name fome Chriftians alfo, by profelTion, men of great learning that have gone
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^

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

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-

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

it be a wonder to any man that knows the drifi and purpose of Arijlodes

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

of them in more then one place. How much healcribed to common re-

were certainly great Magicians, 2S Orpheus^ ^ythagorM^ Empedodes ^ and the
like, as by thofe things that have been written otthem by feveral ancient

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

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-

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-

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

men of fame and credit, Phylicians too, becaufe moft of them are named
("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-
fician. But I muft not omit the Learned Author that fet out Mnfrim Vtro-

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-
tion of that eminent Phyfician who commended 'Irjilhenm unto me ^ putsmc
in mind of what he imparted himfelf, not long before his death, of his .
own knowledge and experience ; and particularly of the account he gave
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-
fwered in thofe I have cited. The truth is, it is a Subjed of that nature
as doth not admit of many Arguments , fuch cfpecially as mav pretend to
fubtilty of Reafon, Sight, Senfe,and Experience (upon which moft Hamanc
Knowledge is grounded) generally approved aud certain, is our beft Ar-
gument. But before I give over, I willule one Argument which perchance
may prove of fome force and validity, and that is, Aconfideration of the

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

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

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

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

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-

and refolucion of lome Learned and confcionable Phyfician, one or more

waycs granted and prefuppofed, that, as in all worldly things, much impo-
fture did intervene and intermingle) by ancient Chriftians acknowledged, I

and therefore will be the fliorter here.

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

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-

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.

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-

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

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

appear by any thing but that he had his underftanding, and the perfe^c

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,

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

of proof, becaulc all there upon his bare report only. But ieej).6^. &c.

But of all Letters here exhibited, I am moft taken, I muftconfefs, with

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

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-

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

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-

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,

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

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

But of his ^rayiio too, fomewhat would be obferved. His Spirits tell him

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

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-

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.

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 ;

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

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-

made no little ftir in the Country by his Prophecying) was caft intoprilon

•to find him ol another mind. But fo yfar was he from acknowledging his

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-

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-

the words of our Saviour, Byery Kingdom divided agatn/l it /elf, Scc^ But

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

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

peared to them as an Angel of light. Any thing to maintain his interefl.
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

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

book, and not allowed by the Church. How much of it is extant , befides
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,

danger of it, as I conceive, have done their beft (formerly) to cry it down. I
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

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

fo many high Myftcries are propofed unto us in ChriTi: by his Gofpel, and of io

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

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-

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

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

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

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-

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

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-

inufial Letters how it (hould be read^ There is one for a Specimen here at

(to benefit himfelf thereby) what hopes had we? Befides, we may judge of

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

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.

by p. 418. and p, 431. (Doftbr jpfe's Letter to the Popes Nuncio) and forae other places of the

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

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-

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.

Note. A. When I came home yefterday from the Court , and from London, and from the
Lord Laskje, I found that E. K. was purpofed to ride forth of Town, and intended to be a-
way (as he exprefly told me) five dayes : Certain Companions and his acquaintance having
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

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

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

in aboat from Zminfori, When I faw him I was very glad inwardly : But I remained writ-

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

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-

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-

thefe things have been fpok^n unto youy and thefe Leffons are not yet to learn : But happy are thofe

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 '

prefenee of the Lord, leaving a flinh^behind him. The light of the Sun is ta^en from the Earth,

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-

ti,. After our prayers of they Pfalms, and my particular invitation and calling for God
his help, and the mimftery of his good Angels : After ( I fay ) more than halfan hour fpacc
attendance; £.£. feemed and thought that he felt a thing about his head, as if it clawed
with Hawks claws. It continued no long time. And toward the Eafterly corner of my
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-
tain, and fwimmech upon that main Sea. Now that mountain feemeth to reft andftand be-
fore that River mouth, that is by the Haven.
A voice Measure me,
E. K. Now feemeth a great thing like a man to ftand, with one leg in
the forcfaid driver, and with the other in the f aid 5ea, by „ having a corner
of the ••• id between his laid legs. His right leg is in theRivcr,and hislefc
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,
twinkling. His head is much of the colour of that Sea wherein his left
leg ftandeth- Now beginneth a right hand to appear i a fair right
hand.

]\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.

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.

E. K. Why joyn you numbers with thefe letters, and added none

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.
A, I befeech you as concerning the powder whereof he thinketh that he hath made due

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

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

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,

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.

^ 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

E.K. Now he is gone ( that faid this ) in form of a great Millftone

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,

q. Now the next in order opcneth another Gate (going up upon
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.

Be it fo at thou hafl fatd, for it is a iufijudgewent.
How hearkfttyVhat the Lord faith. The people and City of the Hillj is the vorld, yphich «Ti

the people of the f^arthy which delight infm^ and m their own imagination., which ajpi are relieveii
vith thoft that are of the City : but the diverfities of their bodies^ doth caufe the diverfity of tki
ends of their comfort. The Hill wherein the Spring ify fignifieth his Prophets, and (iich as ait

Shingles and Serpents be feparated, that the Fountain may feed as before- All the trajh that thti.
haji of the wicked, hum it.
E. K. I do not know, they arc wicked. *
Their doings with thee, are the hindrance of the Will of God, and therefore diey
are wicked.
"Thou haji given judgement aga/nfi thy felf : Takjr heed thou offend not thy own foul.
A. Send down thy Spirit O Lord, and illuminate £, it. his heart with perceiving cf his
wrong opinion, &c.
E.K. l( Mofes a.nd Dante I were skilful in the Arts of the Egyptian
Magicians, and were not thereby hindrcd for being the fervants of God,
Why may not I djeal with thefc, without hindrance to the Will of
Cod?
Durkjuffe yeilded unto light : the Greater excluded the lejfer- The more a man \nowrt^

more they delighted in the body : For the doings of the Es,Yptm\s, feem, and are nctfe. Tie
doings of the Lord are, and continue; for as the Painter imitateth the gtjiures of man in Sir fa-
culty, fo doth the Devil the fnbjiances and things created and made by God,
Stand up and look^ into the whole fForld, into her youth, and middle age, for they are f*^.
Where are the monuments that Satan hath builded?
E. K. Hath Satan buildcd any monuments ?
Tes : Hath he not budded him a Fort upon the whole Earth ? Hath he not the vidorj '
ever the Saints? Dwelleth he not in the Temple of the Hig^efi ? Triumfheth he not in the
Cities of the whole World ?
Tfj. ..V... But withtut comfort, are his viHories : without pleafure bit dwelling places. For be
kjiowethhis time is at hand. He that now giveth freedom, fljall become hound; And unto whom
the whole World is M a Garden, fljall there be no one foot left. Therefore are all his pleafnres vJt~
nity: allhisTriumphsfmoah^ and his Authority, ttothing indeed, but a meer jhadow : For that
that ii not, cannot be ; where, it is faid of the Lord, it Jhall not be. Neithercan truth, light,
or wifdom, afcend from the Earth, but defccnd from the Heavens.
Compare the Earth, ( into the which the Devil is thrull us into his dwelling ) with the Heaxiem,
which are provided for the holy. Confider the pain of the one, and^the pleafurc of the other : 'Jib
feat of Gods Juliice, and Fountain of his Mercy : The Cave of Darkjieffe, and the Diadem ef
Lig^t. And then cry, wo, wo, wo, unto fuch a{ err e, and whofe lives are but padows : For their
felicity is fuch, as jrom whence it came; and their reward it all one, with the fpirit and prince tf
Darkjteffe.
Compare fond knowledge, with true wifdom. Thy fpirits of lying with us, that are the voice

A. Becaufe E. K. came not, ( acco.di^v^ai ic was bidden yefterday ) to follow the Afti-
on : 1 went to his Study dooi, aid knocked for him; And I requefitd him to come; and
he refuted fo to do, and rave me a (hoi t and refohi^e anfwcr, That he would neytr more
'Thofe vro'dv have ,0 do with thefe Aftions. I asked iiim die rcalon why : He would give none : But
he fi'i e afcc'r earneiliy d.-nied to proceed. I tnld him rliac his words * yeflernighc (that he could not
the Adi-Mi ijiisday dcaie ) did very much grieve me, d'-c. whereof he made fraall account. Sol went
ended nmrc j^j-q [j,y \tuJy a.'am, and commiaed the C aufe to God.
in'"le'cit'ra- After half an liour and leiie, hecaniL- fpeedily out of his Study, and brought in his hand
b"rlK(orem™' o"e Volume of Comeltuf Ainppa his woiks , and in one Chapter of that Book he read the
StJdy of pta- names of Countries and Provinces collcfted out of Pf(>/ej«f;<^ (* as the Author there noteth)^
fiice. VVhereupon heynferred, th.!t our fpirituallnftruftors fcerf c/fwrri to give M a defcriptitn dt
the World, taken out of other Books : and therefore he would have no more to da with them.
J replied, and faid, ) am very gUd that you have a Book of your own, wherein thefe Geogra-;
phical names are expielied, fuch as C for the moft part ) our Inftrudors had delivered unto
us:
A trm^elation ofY^, Dee his Asians mih/pirks, dec, t s' 9
us -• and char, accordino to the Tenor and form of my reqiieft to him, fo to have; them ex-
prefled : for our more pcrfcft information, by tiiofe known names; to undcrftand tbofegi
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.

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

It is like a Throne..
Here I fee a green Hill : and I fee thereon three men, like learned

Gold.

I fee Roles and Lillies, and goodly Flowers in one part of it , and fair
running waters in it, and little Hills, and all manner of Birds : And in
the middle of the Park, is a turret, and in the top of that, a round
thing like a Stone, which giveth light all the Park over : but without
the Parkpale,itisduskifh or dark. Thefe three men ftand together
upon the pitch ofthe bank of the Hill that goeth down towArdVrieh
There appear three diverfe fair wayes to the Park, two from the
Hill where the men ftand, and one from the place about Vricl.
1. I fee one man walk in the Park, und he pirketh Flowcrs,and put^
ting them to his mouth, they fmoke, as the fmoke of the fnuff of a

2. I feelikewife another man gathering of Flowers there, and he
would put the Flowers to make them flick on his Coat, but they will
not hang on but fall down, it is fo bare
3. I fee a third man, who hath his Robes all belayed with lace of
gold, great and fmall, and divers pretious Stones, and on his head a
wreath like a Garland, very broad befet with very beautiful pretious
Stones : and he trimmeth himfelf all over with the flowers of the Park

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 ■
fo (ayin^, and for railing on him in the ftreer, as he did, &c.
Mch ado I, Ewr/c/w, and his brother, had to (lop or hold him from going to Alexander
with his weap;)n, &c. At length we 1« him go in iiis dubblet and hofe, without a cap or h^c
on his head : and into the ftreet he hafteJ with his brothers Rapier drawn, and challenged
Alexander to (-ight: But ^/f.v/r«ifr went from him, and faid. Nolo Vomine Kellcic, Nolo,-
Hereupon E /f. took up a (lone, and threw after him, as after a dog, and fo came into the
S»t9n hij rx- hcufe a^ain, in a nioft furious rage for that he might not fight with Alexj-ttder. The rage and

Town, and fo met Mr. Stmen Hagecl{, at the lanes end, &c.
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-

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

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

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

I went to Mr. Doftor Curtz, with thefe laft Letters fair written « and I found Kim to be ac
the Hoff rate Camer in Counfel ; and fo awaiting till they rofe (^half an hour after 6. of tke

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

The other^ forking and leading to an end.

In thefecond dwelieth the [on and image of Jajtice^, leading on by order for the com fe ofth'ngs^

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,

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

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

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

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

Such words and matters as this padcdbetwtcn us. And he fa id that he would in all points, fulirl

LMay 6. Being Tuejday, I entred my Journey tovvard Valkenavf Glaffc-houfc , and Leiffig

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

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

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

proceed With me, if it be thought good. But if you make a Coun-

Sir, I truft, I fhall have Jufcice for my Houfe , Library , Goods,

Thomas Diggs , in her Majcfties behalf , his faithfulnefle to her

made of Sitnl (E K.} a Fanl : but yet, now and then, vifited with

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
novf
<^trHerelatimofI)rJ)tthisABionS:,wiihffmts,^c. 43S
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 Letcsr being written, and read unto E, K. and of him well liked fur the quiet and modetl
courle tlierein kept , otherwile (as he faid to Fr. Pitcct) then he could have ufcd : or had ul'f d in a
Letter which now he had allovTritcen : but now would not fend , thinking that my forelaid Letter
might fiiftlce for our cafe , he talked with Fr. Pucci of this Letter , which fr, Pmcci faid he would
gladly (ee and read , which £. /^T. told him th«t I was minded not to let him read it: Then faid
he, that he would not carry it : Hereupon in talk with Fr. Pucci ^ fpeaking of this Letter, I told
him that I had written a Letter with fufficientanfwer in general to the JV«w/>« requeft and offer by
liim in writing brought to us , and in lumme told him the chief contents of the Letter. Then faid
he, whereas jou write of the Books burnt , why write you not unto him of the recover j of them,M
J MOW perceive i>jf pn both , that the) are reftored ? And it fliall be a dilgrace to you if the Nnnci-
iu fliall und^rlland more by other, then by your felf . Thereof have I no care, Quod fcrifji, fcr iff ^
and I know the truth of my writing : And they are not all reftored that I know of: And whatlo-
cvcr he hath at tny hands he may be affurcd is true : whatfoevcr he fhall otherwifc hear , the Record
thereof cannot be fo good , unleffe, our Record confcnt thereto ; Then laid he, vfhy write you ef
thof: Bookj httrmngy being done before your camming away : It is as if you wrote backward. Have
you no care Mr. Pucci^ tor the method of my Letters faid I, and I faid farther , it is told me that
unlefle you lee my Letters you Will not carry them , you fhall pardon me for feeing of them , the
content I have iufficiently told you : and if you will not deliver them , I can ga them delivered di-
vers wayes, or I may omit the fending of thcmi and write fuch a Letter to the AT^wc/w that I had
written anlwer to hisrcquefts, andofetfentby fr, Pucci; Buthcwould notbringthe faid my
Letter, unLfl'e he might have a fight of it himlelf. At the length by farther difcourfe with S. K. he
became rtfulvcd tog -)c with the letter, and (by£. A", his order) he was to receive 50 Dollars of
"^ohn Carpioy that he fhould not be delfitutc of money at Prage. Fifty Dollotj;
NOTE.
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
onely carnal copulation with ^^r7,Chrilt was conceived ; Thcicfore fhe was accounted (in man-

Videlicet that net a Virgin according to the Jews doftrine : which his herefie when I heardyl trembled for the hor-

N O T E>
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
Cotha^onr horfcs were fo ill that we hire<i,and therefore fending them back again the next day , we
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
USj&C
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 Son, in the mean fpuce (that is to fay, between the day of the part of Aftion recei-

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

fourteen daycs yet remaining, being the 15, 16, 17 dayes of April, and next before the

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

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 :

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. Now it is vaniflied,

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-

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

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.

£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
«/ utterly difcrediting thofe Creatures, and not to have any more to do with thein. But 1

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.

^. When E.K. had brought me thefe things , I greatly rejoyced in fpirit, and was ut-
terly refolved to obey this new Doftrine to us, peculiarly , of all people of the world en-
joyncd. Aud after fome little difcourfc and conference hereof , wc went to bed, this
J prill's 20. 2©. day of April, at night.
Aprilis 21.
A. Thus, am I refolved, O Almighty God, as concerning the cafe, fo hard to flefti and

and confent, otFer and prefent unto thee, this writing as a Vow, Promife,and Covenant,
if it fo pleafe thy divine majefty to accept it.
W''EE four (whofe heads appeared under one Chryftalline Crown, in one pillar uni-
ted, and iuclofed) do moft humbly and heartily thank thee,0 Almighty God (our
Creator, Redeemer and Sanftifier) for all thy mercies and benefits hitherto received, in
our perfons, aud in them that appertain unto us : And at this prefent, do faithfully and
fuicerely confefs , and acknowledge , that thy profound wifdome in thit 7noJi new and
firange doiirine (among Chriftians ) propounded, commended, and enjoyned unto us
four only, is above our humane reafon , and Chrijiian Jrofejjitn to like of : For that in out-
ward fhew of words, it feemeth to us exprefly to be contrary to the purity and chaftity,
which of us, and all Chriftians, thy followers, iscxa£Uy required. Notwithftanding,we
will, herein, captivate, and tread under-foot all our humane timorous doubting of any
inconvenience , which (hall, or may fall upon us, or follow us in this world, or in the
world to come, in refpeftor by reafon of ourimbracingof this Doftrine, liftened unto,
of us, as delivered from our true and living God, the Creator of heaven andearth; who
only hath the true original power and Authority of fins releafing and difcharging :
And whofc pardoning, and not imputing of lin unto us, through our lively faith in the
moft worthy merit, and precious blood of the Lamb Immaculate, ftiedfor us, is and fcall
be our juftification and falvation. We, therefore (according to bleffed Raphael his coun-
fel laft given) moft humbly and Imcerely require thy Divine Majefty , to accept this our
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
fulfilled.) That, as we acknowledge thy divine wifdome and grace offered unto us in
this thy laftmyftical Admoniihnient : And dort moft earneftly will us to accept the fame,
as lawful and] II ji with t^ffjWhich'Admouifhment ftandeth upon two parts : That is to wit,

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

thcfe things before mentioned by me,and wiicly to leave thenij and the
rather becaufeoi themrelves,they (as that by their own words appear-
eth) upon our not following that Do61rine delivered, gave unto us a
§luietm eji , or pafport of frecdome : But the Books being broupjit
^'^^r/'"' forth*, after fome difcourfe therein , after a day or two had, and
their words perufcd fpoken heretofore, did as it were (bccaufe of the
poffible verity thereof, Deo enim omnia fn?2t poffibilia'^ gave us caufe
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
"^'^^ for the love of God : But the women difliked utterly th'ii la/1 Do-
^rine, and confultingamongftthemfelves gave us this anfwer , the
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-
An aftiou nanted with God to abftain from the eating of fiih and ileffi until!
required |^jg Divine Majefty fatisfie their mindes according to his Laws efta-
men.^^^° bliflied , and throughout all Chriftendome received. To this their
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
me , and to fatisfie their Petitions, doubts and vows , I finally an- ^
fwer , that I will from this day forward meddle no more herein.

E. K. From the beginning of this our coming, there appeared a
purple Circle as big as a ftar in the Circumference of thje holy Stone,
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

hind him as high as the top of his head. The horfe is milk white ,
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

hind. The horfe legs behind are harnifhed as with boots mar-
veiloufly contrived,for defence as it were of his hinde legs.
E. K. He is ridden away , he feemeth to ride through a great
field.
E. K. Here is now come Madimi.
E. K. She is gone into the field, that way which he rode.
E. K. Here is another, like a woman all in green.

f potent God be praifed for evermore, hk holy Name be glorified. Now John Dee , I Ra-
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, 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-
bury I mean"^ and all m:ilicf and emmies that he can by hit Devils, Maferien, Hermcloe, the
four wicked ones,the which are uCCoun:ed the four Rulers of the Air,whofe names 6f OrieSjEgym,
Paynini, and Mayrary : Ihey he the Devils that he dcth deal withall, that he through their en-
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.
