Anno 1581. Decembris 22. Mane.
The Morning of December 22nd in the Year 1581.¹

			2: After my fervent prayers made to God, for his
				merciful comfort and instructions, through the
				ministry of his holy and mighty Angel3, named
				merciful comfort and instructions, through the
i   ANAEL4				Anael5, (if it were his divine pleasure) I willed,
	the Scryer (named Saul6), to look into my great
	Crystalline Globe, if God had sent his holy Angel
	Anael7, or no:
ii   .			And Saul looking into my aforesaid Stone (or Crystal
	Note: An illuding10 intruder, even at the the first, putting himself as an Angel of light13. Take heed always of undue securities.			Globe8 for to espy Anael9, he saw there one, which
				answered to that name. But being earnestly requested
				of me to tell the Truth if he were Anael11, another
				did appear very beautiful: with apparel yellow,
				glittering, like gold and his head had beams like
				star beams, blazing, and spreading from it, his
				eyes fiery.12
			He wrote in the stone very much in Hebrew letters,
				and the letters seethed, all transparent gold.
				Which Saul was not able; either presently to read
				that I might write after his voice, neither imitate
				the letters in short time.
			A bright star14, did go up and down by him. There
iii   * .				appeared also a White* dog, with a long head.
	There appeared a great number of dead men's skulls likewise16:			And many other visions appeared with this second,
			the first being voided quite away.
			Thereupon I said, as followeth:
			: In nomine Jesu Christi, quis tu es15?
				In the name of Jesus Christ who art thou?
			He answered; to Saul's hearing.
			Annael: Potestas omnis, in me sita est.
				All power, is vested in me.
			: Quae?
				What powers?
			Annael: Bona, et mala.
				Good and bad.
			: Then appeared in the stone, these two letters:
				M.G.
			I then asking him some questions, de Thesauro
				abscondito17 [about hidden Treasure]; he answered:
			Annael: Ne perturbes: nam hac perturbes sunt Nugae.
				Don't confuse thyself: for by these foolish
				questions, thou throwest thyself into disorder.
			And withal appeared many dead men's skulls, on his
				left hand. He said to me:
			Annael: Ubi est potestas tua?
				Where is your power?
			: Cur quaeris de potestate aliqua mea?
				Why do you seek for some object of my power?
			Annael: Cur? Signifi, non mihi placet.
				Why? As a Sign, not to please myself.
			: I, thereupon, set by him, the stone in the frame
				and said: An bonus aliquis Angelus, assignatus est
				huic speculo?
				Is another good Angel assigned to this mirror18?
			Annael: Etiam.
				Yes, indeed.
			: Quis?
				Which?
			Annael: (Michael) MYKAL19
				he answered, by the show of these letters in my
				stone.
			: Bonus ne ille Angelus, de quo in scripturis
				sit mentio?
				Is that not the Good Angel, of whom mention is made
			in the scriptures20?
		Annael: Maxime'.21
			Certainly!
		: Fieri ne potest, quod ego eundem videam, et
			cum illo agam?
			Might not it become possible, that I might see
			what he does see; and when might I be able to do
			that.
		Annael: Ita.
			Thus.
			and therewith appeared this character:
			A
		: Quid per hoc, significare velis?
			To what significance does this veil allude?
		Annael: Alterius Angeli character est.
			It is the mark of another Angel.
		: Cur hic; et nunc ostendis?
			And why do you now set this forth?
		Annael: Causam ob magnam.
			Because the cause is great.
		Make an end: It shall be declared, but not by me.
		: By Whom then?
		Annael: By him that is assigned to the stone: but not
			till after the feast22. And then thou must prepare
iv   Prayers and			thyself, to prayer and fasting23. In the Name of
	fastings24.		God, be Secret: and in all thy doings: praying,
			till thou hast thy desire: Which shall not be far
			off. After New Year's tide: Deal, But not on the
			Sabbath25 day. Pray continually26. When it shall
			please god27, to stir thee up; Then proceed. In the
			brightest day, When the Sun shineth: In the morning:
			fasting, begin to pray. In the Sun Set the stone.
			Deal both Kneeling, and Sitting. I have done for
			this time.
		My name is ANNAEL.
		I will speak once more to thee; and then fare well;
			for thou shalt not have me any more.
			Be not too hasty in wrath28.
		: Is this; that, you meant to speak
		Annael: Ay: Do good to all men; God hath sufficient
			for thee, and for all men.
			Fare Well.
		: Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto:
			Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper:
			et in saecula saeculorum
			Amen.
			Glory to the father and the son and the holy ghost:
			As it was in the beginning and, is now
			and always shall be even unto the age of ages
			Amen.
