--------------------------------------------------------- 36 A true Relation of Dr. Dees Actions, with spirits. --------------------------------------------------------- Jub......Hominum fragilissimarum. Diabolus cum illis fraudulenter operatur: magna est merces quietis, Sed qui apperit fores contentioni, intromittit Serpentem. Malediciii sunt invidi: Quia illi sunt benedicti qui se mutuo diligunt. Pax inter vos sit ; quia est necessaria. Quia pacis inimici sunt potentes contra vos. E.K. Jam loquendo , videtur minor & minor paulatim fiori. D. De nostro decessu ex Anglia quid tandem jam Regina & sui consiliarii statuerunt? Jub...... Aperit os suum, sed liquor non est satis frigidus. Jam est intus calida, neq; refin- gui potest. Corda sui populi do fall away. Her arms are weakened, her legs weaker, her shooes are full of sorrow. E.K. The furious monsters assaile him again. Jub......Quis est, qui potest vivere, si transgrediatur preceptum Dei? Vel quid de illis judi- care velis, whom God imputeth sin unto? E.K. They assaileth him again, and he putteth his crosse toward them, Jub...... Their misery beginneth, and shall have no ends, till he that sitteth here do end it. E.K. The monsters assaile him still. Jub...... The wall must be broken down, and then shall it be said. Happy art thou which hast dwelt among us. But if thou live righteously, and ascend the slippery mountain, then shall God <1> be merciful to them for thy sake. Because thou mayest be beloved, where thou are now despised, and hath vanquisehed thy enemies, with the truth of vertue. He that enetereth into the lowest hells and shed his blood for your sins, be merciful unto you, and give you peace; which is the spirit of Patience, that you may live, not like men, but as those who do separate themselves from the world, to the true contemplation of God his mercies. E.K. Jam intrat in Caput, A.L. cum flamma ignis. D. Omnis laus, honor, & gloria sit Deo nostro Omnipotenti vivo & vero. Amen. Thursday, Octobris 3. We came from Briel to Roterodam in a Hoy of Amsterdam, to go with- in land, here we lay all night. Friday, Octobris 4. We came to Tergowd hora 3 a meridie: where we lay within the Town in the Ship. Sautrday, Octobris 5. We came by Harlem to Amsterdam, and lay before the Town all night in the Ship. Tuesday, Octob 8. We sailed from Amsterdam to Encusen, and Edmond Hilton went with my goods by sea towards Dansk. Wensday Octob. 9. We set off from Encusen early: but by reason of a contrary wind, we came very late to Herlinghem. Friday, Octob. 11. We went within land in little Scutes from Herlignhem (by Frainker) to Lewarden. Saturday, Octob.12. From Lewarden, we came to Dockum (in small Boates) about 3 of the clock after noon. Sunday Octob. 13 Apud Dockum in Frisia Occidentali. D. Din Chrystallus tanquam lapisniggerimus apparuit. Tandem in ipsa lapidis ni- gredine, apparuit homo nudus Crucifixus super crucem: sed tamen non mortuus; Crucis partes inframanus, omnes sanguinolentae videbantur. Fascia linea circumdabatur Corpus ejus , (a pectore deorsum) & fines ejusdem fasciae pendere videbantur circa genua: & san- guinolenta apparabat: & ex quinque vulneribus (ut Christi erat) videbatur sanguis gutta- tim cadere. Tandem disparuerunt haec omnia: & quasi deorsum sibsidere videbantur ; & lapis clarus factus est, & apparebat Cortina aurea: subita erat haec mutatio. E.K. Jam videtur lapis esse valde magnus, & ante lapidum stare quidam magnus , (quasi Michael) cum gladio ancipite evomente ignem ex utraque acie ejusdem. Mic...... Justus &mirabilis & per maximus es tu, O Altissime Deus. [genubus flexis haec dicit] qui tua judicia manifestas, ut possis super terram cognosci ; & ut tua gloria amplificetur, ad consolationem eorum qui electi sunt, & ad dolorem, & dedecius talium qui crucufigunt lumen mundi (unigenitum Domini nostri, Salvatorem humani generis) quotidie. Ecce portae praeparate sunt iniquitati. Attollite oculos, & videte quo modo filii hominum stulti devenerunt esse ; quia eorum habitatio est fascia nigra, Terra sigillata est ad eorum destructionem: qwuia Deum dereli- querunt, & sibimet ipsis adhaeserunt; & adhuc in partes dissecant Servatorum mundi Jesum Chri- stum [ascalatur ensis sui crucem ] continuo cum blasphemis eorum sacrificiis. Ve illis, quia illos odio prosequimir, & ve illis qui inter illos habitant; quia iniquitate sunt pollutae(?) Orate, dum inter illos estis, quia vestri inimici sunt multiplicati, quia vobis dico nuncium Domini exercituum, Regis fidelium. Relinquite infantiam, & vivite, & ambulate per vias prudentiae; & vivite cum Deo in domo sua. Quia Domus in iquorum, non est habitatio vel sedes prophanis(?) neque potest Nomen Marginalia: 1. Angliae bene erit propter D. ex mera Dei Misericor- dia. ---------------------------------------- 1:42p 28Jun98 Frater Adsum Iterum
