Wednesday, a meridie ciica ??• A As we fat together in my Study, and talked of our at"

fairs,and of the Philosophers stone, E.K. felt a thing heavy upon his head, and heard a voice, fa/"ing, I will teach thee. Hereupon I let the stone in place. ,

E.K. Here is Levanael, covered as he was wont.

Levan. ..... Why are you not pure, that ymmay learn? • u

JL.K. So we will receive at Easter , as the time of the year dothrequire.

A Lord, thou hast said, we should at length be of one mir.de, through thy merciey, Lord help usherein. . .

E. K. He feemeth to have had his lips sewed: for the vail is \othin, that it permitteth his face in manner to be perfectly dibcerned.

Ltvan. ..... See that you take the season , and gather while it is time ; if you let this Harvestpaste,you stall he desirous to gather, and you cannot.

Thrice I must come unto you, if 1 finde you not.

Lo, I have done, for I come no more.

E.K. 1 pray you to deal with another : here is John, a boy inthe house, you may use him.

Levan. ...... Thy talk, it humane folly : But before I go, I will not be hidden from you.

Read your Ccston, it is now a ft ale leston.

A I read, Take Common Audcal.&c. Take hold.

Levan. ..... Tou are best to do so. *

E. K. Now he hath heaved up his vail, hjf face is bare, it was nothis lips that had those stitches as it were, but it was in his vail, hisface is a very fair beautiful face;

A We beseech you for God his fake, his glory and honour, to give light," and to make plaistthis Lesson or Conclusion. •

Levan. ...,,77wj Conclusion wherein man is exalted being the last and the first, is as necestarjfor you, and for the avoiding of temptations that are to come, as your garments are to cover jourkedneste, or the houses to keep off the sto rm$.

A Give us thereforevthis help, this hand, this staff, this counsel, O Lord. , ,

Levan. ..... How much the more younegleSl tt, andthe time wherein it is to be gat ere , jomuch the mere stall you be tedious unto your selves and the bu finesse which you ftsi^st fry n ewill of God, if you have this; it willfirst cause you to forsake; secondly, it will plant you there,where without it your feet cannot enter, anssfrom whence when you are planted, you Mail not ean /be moved.

I fpeaknot this, for that yonstould murmur,saying, Cannot god plant us without this ? Tfit tomake it evidert unto you: T hat God ufeth his Creatures visible to introduce or lead in (yea, lup er "nacural^jforce and wisdome. ca

1 hefe things will demojtftrate the will and power of God grafted in you, that it isjound f gr J e ’and from above.

Forts you fay, lo these things hath God taught me, and these things hath God opened Mt 0 -* 1 **'Whilest they wonder at the one, they shall be forced to believe the other. ,

Moreover, they stall leave their Table-talks, which object poverty unto you, and they stall yfforced to fay, (even in defpight of their teeth ) what need had he of US ? he fought us not of the veer I »for lo, he leadethher as his slave.

These things, if you consider not, I put you in remembrance, that you may know you lose time, J 1 *that you lose a benefit , desired of many, and so forth.

Lo, I come again.

A I read over the premisses.

E. K. Here he is again.
