Tuesday, Aprilis 17. 'Cracoviæ.

After divers Ejaculations appropriate to the action , and the Curtain of white water yetremaining. E . K- thought divers times that he saw through the white Veil, and stonea )*d all, nothing appearing therein. E. jf. immediately fell into a new doubting of the ve-rity of these actions, and said he had a Vision by a good Creature the last night, who saidthese Creatures with which we dealt, would no wore appear unto hint , Hereupon he saidthat both the last dayes skorfier,and these our instructors were all Devils : and that he wouldno more sit to receive A.B.C. And so by Letters,'any Doctrine of theirs, unleste they wouldotherwise expresly, and lively deliver a plain rule thereof: With many other arguments todisprove the verity of our Actions, whereupon he said, that John your boy tan well enoughdeliver you their Letters, and so you need not me,eK'. I referred all to God , his will, andmercies: For, as 1 had at his hands onely, and by his order, and for Ins service required to if"dom and true knowledge, so do I not doubt but God will, according to his accustomed good-nesse 3 provide for me, that is best for my vocation here in earth,

E. K. He rose, and went away *. and left me alone in my Study, ap-pointed for these actions.

"Deus in adjutorium meum bttende fDomine ad adjuvandum me feftitia . Gloria VatTi £7“Filio & Spiritui Sanlio, sicut erat in principio & nunc & semper & in focula,secutorum. Amen.

Thursday, Circa 9.

As t was in my upper Study , and had gathered the holy words of the second and thirdcall, and had conferred them with their English delivered also unto us : E. K. came up thestairs, and so went into his Study, and came out again,and as he was going down the staires I°ptned my Study door , and saluted him : He thereupon came up again , and came intoStudy : And there I shewed him what I had done; and how I had some under-standing of those holy words, their significations by reason of due applying the Englijbt0 the word Christus, intending thereby to have induced E. K. to like the better of the.hiaimei-ofsour friends,due,and Methodical,proceeding with vis, and told him that unleffe ofthis strange language I should have these words delivered unto us Letter by Letter, we mighttrre both in Orthography, and also for want of the true pronunciation of the words,and di-stinctions of the points, we might more mifle the effect expected : But as on Tuesday last , sotow again he said, our Teachers were deluders, and no good,or sufficient Teachers,who hadnot in two years space made us able to understand, or do somewhat: and that he could in two

! years have learned all the seven Liberal sciences, if he had first learned Logick , &c. where-fore he would have no more to do with them any manner of way,wished himself in England ,md. said that if these books were his, that he would out of hand bmn them, and that he hadWritten to my Lord (by Eirmis) chat he took our Teachers to be deceivers, and wicked, and^ 1o Creatures of God, with many such speeches, and reasons ("as he thought) of forceto duvvade himself from any more dealing with them : But willed me to use John my Boy as"'y Skryer, for that these spiritual Creatures were not bound unto him,eH. 1 answered untoa U these parcels and reasons, as time served declaring my perfect trufl in God ,that seeing I havettiany years desired , and prayed for wisdorue f such as these Actions import) at his . hands,a hd by such means as to his Divine Majesty scemeth best, that he would not either miflike myprayer, or abuse my Constant hope in his goodnesse and mercy : Therefore J concluded thats referred all to the mercifull will of God, and doubted nothing at the length to be satis-fied of my request, and prayer made unto him. So he went from me this second time....Vod lighten his heart with knowledge of the truth, if it be his Divine will and pleasure.

! Note. Pm«K went on last Wednesday morning, and had received our Letters a step

i on Tuesday last: But on Monday before the wicked Prince of darknesse did what he

I c °>dd to hinder our proceeding.
