{befides tbe judgment ofall a~ counted wifeapd.learned in former ages) Iam convieted in my judgmerit,that lo much folid reafon in all ~rts and Sciences never iffued from mortal man (known unto us by his writings) without fupernarural illumination.. Well': ;Ariftotle doth . not acknowledg spirits, he mentions tht!m not in any place. Let it be granted : And why fhould it be a w~rider to any man that knows the. drif: and purpofe of Ari.ftotle'$ Phylofophy ? He lived when Plato lived; he had been his fellow Scholef unde.r Socrates, . an~ for fome time his Scholer; b.ut aft~rwards he became his ~mulus,. and pleafed himfelf ver~ mu~h to opp?fe h~s Dottrine, infomuch as he IS cenfured by fome Anctents for hts tngratnude. The truth is, Plato's writings are full of Prodigies, Apparitions of Souls, pains of Hell and Purgatory, Revelations of the gods, and the ljke. Wherein he is io bold that he is fain to excufe himfelf fon1etimes , and .doth not defire that an)r man fbould believe him, according to the letter of his relations, but in groffe.onty, that fomewhat was true to that effecr. Indeed he hath many divine pa{fages, yea, whol~ Treatifes, that , can never be fufficiendy admired in their kind; but too full . of tales, for a Phylo[opher, it cannot be denyed. Ariflgt/c therefore refolved upon a quire contrary w~y: Be would meddle with nothing but what had fome apparent gro~nd in Nature. Not thit he precifely denyed all other things, but becaufe he did not think that it was the part ofa Phylofopherto meddle with thofethiv.gs that no probable reafon could be given of. T'his. doih c~early appear by a Divine paffage of his, De part. ariim.l ... c.;. \vhere he divides Subfu.nces in d'}~vv}oll' '!J d~Birluv~.

Add i:o this another place of his in his Met.aphyfick.s, where he faith, 'T hat though things fupernatural be of rhe1nfelves clear and certain, yet to us they are not fo , who fee them on]y with Owles eyes. Can we fay .then that .Ari.fl.otle denyed thof(! -things that he forbore to write. of , betau[ they \Vere e (~heir natures and their qualities) above the kno\vledg of ruan .2 Neicher is it ~bfolurely true that Arijlotle never Wrote of Spirits and Apparirions.

But on th.e other fide, faith he, not lets hard to deny that which all. men, or m oft nren , do be:ieve, to wit, that there be (uch predi~hons. For to fay (his owri words) that fuch dreams come fro~ God, beftdes what elle might be objeCted (which might cafily be unded1:ood by them that underil:and his DoCtrine) it is 'mo!l: unreafonable believe that God woutd fe.nd them to men either vitious in their li\res, or idiots and fools, of all men che m oh vile and conremptible , who have been obferved to have fuch dreams oftner then better' and.\vifer men.

the'becrer when the t.tme. fbould come to xmbrace (and it'_did it effeCl:u~lly) the Gofpd. Many other Phylofophers, that have been of O'reatefl: fame were certainly ~reat Magicians, as OrpbeU&, PythagortU, Emped:Ctu , and th~ like, as by thofe things that have been written of them by feveral ancient authors may be colleCted. But ~hove all I give che .pre-eminence to Apollonius 1hianeus, a man of later ttmes, and _ whom we may' fpeak with of more confidence and certainty Th~s \Vas the man whom ancient Heathens very tenacious of their former worfhip and fupedhtiG>ns , did pitch upon to oppofe unto Chrifl:. His Lif~ hath been written by divers , four of them were .joyned together and oppofe~ to the four Gofpels : and H ierocles, a famous Pb.ylofopher of thofe ttmes, made a: Collation of his Miracles with thofe of Chri~l:s , who was anfwered by Eufebiw, yet extant. Sure it is, they prevailed fo much, thath~ was for a long time wodbipped by many, and in fun~ry places as a very God; yea; by fome Roman Emper.ors, as._ find in I:Iifl:_ ry. Pl:iloflratu; hath w~itten his Life in very we o Elegant fhle (as P!JottU1 Judged) In 8 books' which are extant. And though they cont~in many fabulous things, as any man may expetl: by the undertaking, yet have they fo much truth and v;uietJ of ancient learning, that I think they deferve to be better knolvn then commonly they are; but c~nnot be underfrood, I am fure, as they fhoulq be, by any cranflat ion either Latine or French that ever I faw : For the Paris Edition,though it boail of great things (as the manner isJ yet how little was pe~fo~med may ea~ly appear unto any that will take the pains to compare it with the former edition of .Aldus : Which I fpeak not to find fault, but becaufe I wifh that fome able man \V {)uld undertake the work ; there is not any hook, by the Tranfiations yet extant, that more needeth it. What ufe Sca liger made of him~ may appear by his frequent quorarions in his Notes : pon Eufebtu-s, in _the Hifiory .of thofe times. As for .Appollonit-u his Mirau cles or wonderfulA~s (which is our bufineffe here) though many' things have been added , fome, probably, done by lmpofl:ure 1 yet I do not fee how it can be doubted but hedi<;l many !l:range thing~ by che help 'o f Spirits, which things may be judged by due obfervarion of ci_ rcumfl:ances; as for example, That being con vented before Domitimzthe Emperor in the prefence of many, he prefently vanifhed and was feen a great way off (at Puteoli I think) about the fame time. That at the very time when.Vomiti'an was killed at a?...Pme, he fpake of it publickly ~nd of the manner of ~t at Bphefus : and fo of tnany others, which feem to me (as Urlt<? m oft) almolt unqueitionabk:. Thegreatefiwondertome is, that fitch washisportand outward appearance of .Sanctity. aud Simplicity, that even ~hri!l:ians have though~ reverently of him, and believed that he did his wonders by the power of God, or by fecret . Philofophy and knowl_dg of Na~ure not ree vealed unto other n1en. So Jufline Martyr, one of the ancient Fathers of the C hurch judged of him, as is well known.

I do very_ much \Vonder whethe~ any man: , being a Scholer ~ and not {honglyprepoffdfed, t~at doth not believe Spirits, &c. can fay thathe.ever read the books of Tryals and Confeffions of Witches and Wizards, fuch I mean, as have be.en written. by learned and ju_ dicious men_.

Thac he was a learned man, I think no body will deny that bath read him; and that he was no very credulous ant:l'fuper... fiicious man (though aPapifi) that alfo is moftcerrain-: and i have wondred at his liberty many times.

Irnpofiors , and there is good reafon_for it:- I fhould fooner fuf.. pett him an Impoftor that doth profeffe himfelf (except it be by way of confeffion, as many have done) and isambitious to be counted a .Wirch or Sorcerer. I remember I faw a bookfome years ago, intituled, 1Je l'inconflance des mauvai~ Anges & Demons, printed at Paru J 61 z. in quarto, and ano:. ther of the fame Author; and Gze, intituled, L'incre~ulite & me (cnauce du for.. tilege, Paris 1641.

But as I 4o not altogether trufl: my mem.ory, having had but a fight of the books (it was atthe rJJeO in St. Pat4ls Church-yard:) So I be.feedi the ,Reader _ to re~ upon ~his accourtt that I give him upon my J;lot beft reinembrance,but to perufe the books himfelf.

But he had done well to have limited his exception, and to have fhe\w:d ho\V, and when j and how far ft1ch obfervations may be ufed._ For certainly _hey are notalt together to be neglected. But the reafons of fuch obfervations or marks that are given by fome, are fo ridiculous, rhat they would make a fober rna'n (that hath not patienc(: enough eo ponder all things diligently.) to fufpeCl: all the reft. So one eels us, That when the Cock croweth the folemn meetings of Witches (which opinion perchance may prove ancient enough, as vve fhall fhew elfew here) are diffolved: and he thinks a reafon may be becaufe of the crowing of the Cock in the Gofpel, when St. Peter denyed Chrifr. Another tells us, That Witches being well beaten tmnco vitis (with a Vine fl:ick or club) Maleficia iil~ta fol-vere jtevillina coguntur, ha.ve no more force to do hurt, or, that the party bewitched recovereth. And the reafon (he tpinks, and yet he no ordinary man neither) ex myjlerio vini & "'Vine~ ditea.,_ Deo, .ex cujus m~fterio So ;in my Copy, i.t ~ay ,. ,( n ~; be re quutzate Sacramentum SacrQ_Janue Sangumu ']) onum con1,atur, flin. fuould be, 11Jtu & &c. But I {hall have a more proper place for the full ex:2minatiorl t)f thefe things in one of rhe two Treatifes before mentioned. lt cannot be denyed but this whole-bufindfe of Witches, what through ignorance , what through malice, is very lyable to many mi.lhkes and divers impofl:ures.

The tl:ory is in divers books, French and Latine, anp ~ran Hated (at that time I believe) in divers languages. I would goe forty miles \Vith a~l my heart to meet with that man that could tell me any thing whereby I might but probably be induced to believe, or at leafi to fufpect; that there might be fome mifrake in the particularsof his Sentence.

There. is no neceffiry that any body fhould make of either of thefe re .. lations an Article of his Faith ; yet I thought them very probable,becaufe believed by fuch a man, and therefore have given them a place here. So much of Miracles. Of Exorcifmu \Ve muil: fay as of Miracles. One notable example of a counterfeit 1-'o-ifeffion, and of great ftirs like]y to hav~ infued upon it in Ftance, we have out of I huamu, in our late Treatife of Enthufiajme. The Hiflory of the if3u) of Bd(on is extant, .who by the W ifdom and Sagacity of the R' R.J F. in God Thom.u, I ord Bifhop of Lic!Jfuld and [o'\'entry, was difcovered to be an l_;npotlor on purpofe fet up and fubor?~d to promote ~heRo~ mitl1 caufe, An.Dom. t6lo . Such examples and fl:ones mofl:.Countneshave afforded good fl:ore, which are extant in divers Languages. Neith~r muft it be concealed (by them that feek truth without partiality) that fome, once called 'DtJCiplinariam, now more known by ano_her name, have attempted t to deal in thofe things/ hoping thereby to gain great advantage to theix: caufe. . It was a famous Story in QB/i:zabeth's Reign, though now perchance-out of the knowledg of many., . and beyond the remembrance of any living, ho\V one Mr. ']). a very zealous man of chat Sett, did cake upon him by long prayers to cail: out Divels, fo maintained and afTened with great vehe;mcncy by him and fome others that favoured that caufe, though upon legal examin;nion they proved otherwife, which occafioned many books on both fides in thofe dayes, but two, melior is notte , as we fay, written by Dr. H. concerning Exorcifmes; the one againfi Papifl:s, rbe other a,.. gainft P. I have them both fomewhere yet, I hope, but can not come at

them

them ;tt this time, which is the caufe that I cannot particularize that bulindfe with circumftances of times, and names or perfons as I would. But there were many other books written (fome very big, . \Vhich I have feen ) about it, as I faid before; fo that the whole bufineffe , with very little inquifition, if any ha~e a mind, may quickly be found out. One Bookfeller in Little (Britain di~ ~elp me to the fight of fix: or feveri ~t once; yet one of the books then wntten, and as. I . was told, upon this bccafion much commend~d unto me by fome very Learned, to wit, Dr. Jordan, of the Suffocation of the Matrix, f long.fought before I could meet with it~ And fach was the ig~norance of fome Bookfellers, that I could not perfwade them there was any iuch book extant: but now at lafl: I have got it. All the ufe.I fhall make of it at this time is, that whereas thew hole drift of the book tends unto this, to fhew~ the error of many in afcribing natmal difeafes to fupernatural ca.ufes , which might be thought by fome to favour their opinion that believe not ~Vuches, &c The Au~hor doth very prudently and piou.Oy make this profeffion in the PreFace, 1 do not deny but that God dot!J in thefe day~s Jlfork. extraprdinarily for the deliJnrance of hu chj/dren, and for other ends kflltnown to him(eV; and O~at among oti,cr there .m~y be both poffifsions. by th.e Dive!, anJ obfefsions, a'fld W1tch-cra; t, &c. and di(Pojfefsion alfo through the Prayers and Supplications of bu {er11ants, which u the only means left unttJ us for our relief in that cafe, hut foc!J examtJ[es being rvery rare.now adayes, .&c. Yet for all this I do not condude that Mr . .D. \Vas guilty of any Impoflure : he might do it through :ignorance being cozened by others. I have heard he was an honefl: man, and dyed pioufly, and difclaimed to the very' laft that he did ariy thing in that bufinelfe otherwife then :Bona Fide I would judge charitably, even cf thofe men that' are not guilty of much charity towards others, whofe judgments and confciences will not fuffer them (though rn,en of approved wonh and piety otherwife) to fay as they fay, -and to do as they do in all things. Be it gr~nted. therefore, that this bufind.Ie of Exorcifmes is lyable to much lmpofiure: -hov;,rever, no manthac bath read the relations of men and women po!fefl:, in fevetal places, with dt~e obfervation of .circumfl:ances ; fome of which relations, be fides other perfons of credit, have been arreiled ; yea, fome perinc:d and publifhed by learned Phyficians and Naturaliih, who have been employed about the Cure, obferyed their carriage, heard fome of them fpeak ftra.nge Languages: filly women poiTd~, difcourfc:: of ~ighdl point~ of Phy_lofophy, or the Mathematicks and the like. No man, -I fay, that is not a fl:r~nger to thefe things (be fides what fame Travellers, no .way_ interdfed in the caufe, can aver upon their own knowledge) will make any quefhon either of the real poiTellion of divers, according to relations that have been tnade, or of the Divels fpeaking in them and by tbem 'vhen they have been Exorcife~; and .fometimes upon bare conference. And though fome Proteftants are of opinion, That it is not lawful or \vartantable for any man to take upon him to Exorcife- upon fuch occaGons, that is, (as I conceive) by \vay of abfolure p_ower and au~ thority, and 'by fupedti~ious wayes and means, as is ordinarily . o-?e : d Yc:t where a man hath a Calling, as if he be lawfully Called to the Mmifhy, and fet over fuch a Parifh where any happen to be poffdfed (as indeed

We read of n1any in Herodotus: o~ onej \vhich Was contrived by fraud ; but there \Ve read alfo, that when tt came to be known (thouoh care had been ea ken that it might not:) the chief Contriver, a great man v was banifhed or prevented worfe, by ~voluntary E:x:il~; and the ~acred Vir~,-], or _ ropbeu}Je, P d.epofed. . But n~r to_tnfifl: upon particulars, \Vh1ch would be long, it is mofi cerca1n, and It \Vlll cleerly appear unto the.m chat are well read in ancient Authors and Hifio_ ries, That all Hea~hens,generally the wifdl: and learne~e.fl: of them? tho.le dpecially, th_ t lived when Oracles were. mofi frequent, a dtd really bel1eve tt1e1n to be, which they pretended unto: and that they were fo indeed, for the m oil part (taking it for granted that their Gods were 1Jiwls or E11sl Spints) by many circumftances of Stories, and by other good proofs, may be made as evident : neithe_r Wa$ it ever doubted or denyed (al\Vayes granted and prefuppofed, chat, as 1n all worldly things, much impofl:ure did intervene a.nd intermingle) by a~cient Chrifbans acknoWledged, I am fure, by mofl:, if not all. But I have i.poken of them elfewhere -alrcady, and therefore will be the fhorter here.

When we have good ground for the ~;, , to il:ick at the cl't&TI, becaufe , \VC do nor under fUnd the reafon, is as much as to fay, that we think we fhould be as wife as God, .Ariflotle' did not meddle with things that he c::ould give no reafon of; yet .he did not deny them (as We have fhewed) and it is one thing to require a reafon of things meerly natural; and another of chafe that happen by a meer fecrct Providence. But thi \~ill give the~ n~ great fatisfatbon who perchance believe a God (fome) as m~cle. as they believe a Devil.

Reafon and Senfe that other rnen go by, they think the acorns that the old world fed upon; fools artd childr~n may be cont:ent with them butt hey fee into things by another Light. They common}y give good refpett unto the Scriptures (rill t~ey come to profefl: Anabaptifts) becaufe they oelieve them rhe Word ofGod and not of men ; but they referve unto themfelvcs the Interpretation, and fo itndetthe ti:le of DiVine ScriptHre, worfhip what their OV-ln phanfie prompts, or the devtl puts into their heads.

Come now to Dr. DE E, and to ihu !Book of his; which bath be~n the occafion of a~l the Difcour~e hi.therco. As _for his Perfon or Parentage, EducatiOn and the hke, I have but little to fay more then what he fairli. himfelf in his firit Lener to the Emperor (RooOLPHE) of Germany, that being yet very yot,ng he W~s fought unto (ambiverunt me) by two Emperors, CHARLs the ~th and FERDIN.ANDO his Brother and Succdfor in the Empire. Me Camhden indeed in the year 1571 makes honourable mention of him, and calls him, Nobilu Mathemrzticus. He dedicated his MonM Hterog0rphica to MAXIMlLIAN Succeffor to FERDINANDO; fidl printed at Antwerp, .An. Vom. 1'564. and afterwards . at Francford, 15 9'. and what other places I know not. In the year 595. h~ did wr'ite ( a~d was printed a~ 99 I am [ure? but wbet?er before that or no, cannot certainly tell) .A difcourfe .Apologettcal, &c. duetl:ed to the then .Arcbbijhop of Canterbury, \V herein he hath a Catalogue of books written by himfelf, printed and unprinred, to the number of 4~L in all, and cloth alfo mention the.books of his Library about 4ooo vol.ums in all, whereof 700 ancient Manufcripts, Latin, Greek, and Hel9rew. There alfo doth he produce a Tef:limony of the Univerfiry of [ambridg, dated r 548.

But that w.as written , I lTIUit conrefs ' long before his Communication with Spirits : yet it is fomewhat to know what opinion h~ had then of them that deal with Divels and evil Spirits . . But after he was made acquainted, and in great dealings with the~n, and had in read_ in_efs dive_s of rhcfe his books, r or others or the farne Argument, contatntng thetr feveral conferences and COilll11UUications; tO f11C:W-, :and the manner of their ~ppearing exactly fct down ; obferve, I pray, With what confidence he d1d addrefs himfelf ro the greatefl: and wifell: in Europe. To Queen Elizabeth often, and to her Council, _s by tnany places of this RelatiOn doth appear; but more a particularly by his Letter to Sir Franci& Walfingham, Secretary, &c. That he did the like to King James and his Councel, may eafily be gathered by the Records {in this 'l(elation) of 1607. but much defective. But then to the EmperorJJ{.odolplJe , to Stephen King of Poland, and divers otheJ Princes and their -Deputies ; the wifefl: and lear.nedfl:, cheir feveral Courts did afford for the time :. the panrctilars of all which addrdfes . and tranfatl:ions are very exactly fet. down in the book. Nay, fuch was his confidence that had it not been for . the Nunci&U ApoflolicUJ his appearing againfl: him the Empero rs Court by order from the Pope, he \Vas, as by fome places may be col1etted, rdol v ed for ~me alfo, not doubting but he fhould approve liirnfelf and his d9ings to the Pop~ himfelf and his Cardin2Js. In all thefc hi s addrdfes and applications being fhll .very ready to impar_ all things t unto them chat \vouid enre~tain them with that refpefr l1e thought they defe;-ved; y~a, readily, which is very obfervabie, even to r~ceive them into thi s Myfti cal Society, whom he thought worthy, and in lome capacity to pro more rhc defign; as de .faflo he did divers in feveral places : Albertus .A.lafco, Prince Palatine of Polonia, Puccius a learned man, and Prince {j(o(ember~ in Ge11nany, who were long of the Society, be{tdes forrie admitted to fome A.Ct:ions fo~ awhile , as Stephen King of Poland, and fame others.

Befides the long Speeches, Difcourfes, Interlocutions upon all occafions and occ~rrences . in the prefence of more then one alwayes; and externally.audt~le to d1fferent perfons, for the moll part or very frequently. That thefe thmgs C<'>uld not be the operation of a difl:em'perr:d ~ancy , .will b,e a fufficie~t evidence to any rati~nal man. Again, let h1s ufual .preparatlons and Prayers aga1nfl: . an Apparition or Action (as he called them) his extraordinary prayers upon fome extraordinary occaftons , as upon Edward f\.!Oty his temporary repentance, ~nd another for him when he was about to forfake him . (in Latine a long one} Suphtn King of <foland being then prefent. And again, when his Son Arthur was to be i~itiated to thefe Myfl:ical Operations and Apparitions, in the place of ~ard}(tU~, .and the like. And again, . his Humility; Piety , Patience, (0 what p1ty that fuch a man iliould . fall Into fuch a delufion! but we fhall confider of the caufes in its right place afterwards) upon all occafions, temptations, diflrdfes, mofl eminent thro':lghout the whole Book. Let thcfc things. be well confidered, and above the refl:, his large and pund:ual relatio.n of thatfadabomin~blc fl:ory of their Promifcuo~s, carnal Copul4tion, under the pretence of obedience .to God.- Let thefe things. I fay, be \Vell confidered, and I think no man will make any q udlion but the poor man did deal with all poffible fimplicity and 1incericy , to the utmoll of his undedlanding at that time. And truly, this one thing (as 've faid before) excep~cd, his mifl:aking of ~viL Spirits f~r good, it doth not appear by any thmg but that he had h1s underftand1ng, and the perfeCt : ute of his Reafon to the very lail, .as well as he had had ny time of his life. Again, let it be conlidered, that he carryed with him where ever he went A SroNE, which he.callcd his An~elicall StmJe, as brought unto him hy an AnJt. , but by a Spirit {urt enough, _ hich he hewed unto many; to the Emperot l w among others, or the Emperors Deputy ,Dr.Cutts, as I remember: But more of this Stone afterwards. We may therefore conclude furely enough, That Dr.Dee in all this Rel:nion did deal with all fimplicity and fincerity. I fhall only add, That whereas I ufed the word_<J(eality before, concerning thofe things that appeared, according to this Relation : I would not be miflaken -, as though I intended that wh;1tfoever the .Divel did feem to do or reprefent; it was I'J\!aOy an~ SubflantiaOy as it feemed and appeared, that would be a great and grofs mtilake. The very \Vord Apparition doth rather import the contrary. All I underfl:and by ~ality, is, that what things appeared, they did fo appear by the powe.r and operation of Spirits, aCtually prefent and working, and were not the effeCts of a dep~aved fancy and imagination by meer natural caufes4 By which, fl:range things, I confefs, m~y be prefcnted and appre~ended too, fomc:times by the parties with all confidence, as we faid before, though all be but fancy and imagination. But all circurnflances well conftdered, make this C4fe here to be of another nature ; and it may be it was the policy of thefe Spirits to joyn two of purpofe in this bufinefs, to make th~ truth and reality of it the more unque-

Trebon: in the particulars of his Son Artf,ur's Confocration (after his manner, which he calls, His offering And prB(tnting of him to tbe fir-vice of God:) Uriel (one of his chiefdt Spirits) was the ~uthor of. their Gmjtmtlion: but when ~nd how it hapned (being but obiur mentioned there) we do not find any where; and more then what I find here I have nothing to fay: For certain 1t is by this whole fl:ory , from the beginning to the end of it, that f\!Oty ,vas a great Conjurer, one that daily converfed by fuch art as is ufed by ordinary Magicians, with evii Spirits, and knew . them to be fo. Yet I would fuppoG: that he was one of the bell.: fort of Magicians, that dealt \Vith Spirits by a kind of Commanti (as is well known fome do) . ~nd not by any (ompaEt or agr~ernent: t:his may probably be gathered from fi1ndry places. But that he was a Conjurer, appearereth firfi: by that, where he proffered to r~ife fome evil Spirit before the Poliih Prince Pahtine, Albert Lasky (of whom more by and by) for ~ proof of his A.rt. But Dr.Vee \vould not fuffer him to do it in his houfe. Wicked fpirits are cafi: out of him to the number of 15. PJ :. But I make no great matter of that in poi'n t of proof, becaufe all there upon his ba~e report only. But fee p.6~. &c. where it is laid to his charge, and he anfwereth for himfelf and his Spirits. where at lafl: he yielded to bury not to burn his Magical bitoks. See alfo But read hi,s own confefsion (Where you !hall find him fpeak like one that kne\v very well what did belong to the Art) and the record made by Dr. 1Jee concerning a fhre\vd contefl: that hapned between Dr. Dee and him , (it was about iOme M agical thtngs) wherein E.dward fVlly carried himfelf fo fiercely, that Dr. J?ee being afra:id of his life, ,was forced to call for help.

But of allLetters here exhibited, I am rnofr taken, I mufl: confefs, with the Bitbops Letter. that was N,.uncius .Jipof!8licus: he feemes to me to fpeak to the cafe very pertin'endy (take fP~c_cius his a~cou~t along in his long letter to Dr. Dee, of his conference With the fud Btfhop concerni_~g the fame bufinefs) and to have carryed himfelf towa~<is Dr.1Jee very moderately ~nd friendly. I I. Now to Objections : The fidl: fhall be this: Although 'tis .very probable that Dr. 'Dee himfelf dealt fimply and fincerely; yet fince _he himf~lf fa\V nothing (for fo himfdf acknowledgeth in fome places) but by f\.!llefs eyes, and heard. nothing but with . his ears. Is it not pofsible that 1\!(ley being a cunning maQ, . nd well pract:if~d in thefe thiqgs might irnpofe ~pon the a credulity of Dr. 1Jee ( a.good Innocent man) and the rather; becaufe .by this office under the QoCl:or .he got s~l. by the year, as appe~reth. Truly this is plaufible as it is propofed ;.'and like enough that it mig~t g? a gre~t way lVith them that arefoon taken~ and therefore feldom fee any thing in the truth or true n~ture of it,- ~hui " in . the .outward appearance of it only. But read and obferve it diligC:ntly and you will .find it far oth~rwife: It -is true in~eed, that ordinarily, Dr.1)u faw not himfdf; ~ his bufinefswas ro \Vrite what was feeri (bu~ in his prefe~ce though) and heard by f\..eOey. Yet that himfelfheard often immed'iately appeare~h by many places J I {lrall not. ne~d any quotations for that himfd f feeleth as well as 1\!U.ey. In . the relation of the Holy Stone , how taken away by one that came in at a window in the fhape of a man , _nd !Jow refiored; both Jaw certain1y. In the a fiory of the Holy :Books, how burned and how refiored again (p:i!.rt of them at lealt) which Or De~ madea great Miracje of, as appeareth by fame of rhofe places; there alfo both faw certai.nly. And .Albert Lasky, the Polon_ Palatine ian Ja.w as . well M I\!lle sdide's ,- 1~ doth dearly appear throughout all the y. book that ~lley (cho-t.igh fometime~ with much adoe perf\vaded for a while to chink better of't~erri) had generally no otheropinion of the le Apparitions . bn~ th:tt they were meer illuJions of the Di vel and-evil Spirits, fuch es himfelf could command by, his art when he lified, and. :was a~qttainted with , ~nfomuch that we find him for this_very caufe forfakirtg, ordefirous to forfake Dr. Dt-e, who was . mu~h troubled about ~c.; arid :is -f-orced i.q a place to Pluvn his Soul unto hi.rr: (to ufe his own w~rds') that -it :was. not fo, and that they ~ere good Sptnts fent from .G~d 10 :great favour unto them.

Truly, if a man fhall confider the \V hole carriage of this bufindfe, from the beginning to the end, according to this ~rue and faithful (for I think I may fo ipeak with: confiaence) account it here prefenred unto us, rh is poor ~an, how from time to time fhamef.ully , groily delayed, deluded, quarrelled without caufe, .lhll toled on with fome fbews and appearances, and yet 'fl:ill fruil:ra_te~ and put off: his many pangs and agonies about it, his fad condition after fo many years toil, travel, druJgery and earnefl: expeCtation, ~t the very !aft (as appeareth by the AElions and apparitions of the year 1607 .) I cannot tell whetherU fhould make him an objeCt of m on: horror or compafiion.; but . of both certainly in a: great mea ~ue to any man that hach any fenfe.of.Hurnaniry, and in the examp les of others of humane frailty : and again, any regard of parts and; \vonh, fuch as were in this man in a high degree. True it is, that he hacl jr>]es \\' i~ha: and comforts, imaginary ,delufory, it is true; yet fuch as he enjoyed and kept np his h~art, and made him outwardly chearful often times, I make no qudhon ; , fuch as the Saints (as they call themfelves) and Schif maticlu of thefe and forn;ter times have ever been very proneto boafl: of, perfvvad_ therrifelves that they are the ejftils of Gods bleffed Spirit.

If this then were his -cafe indeed, b what fb :tll we fay? if nothing elfe, I know not but it ought to fatisfi~ a ration2.l, fober, humble man: If we fay, _ hat it is not in man to give an T account of all G{)ds j.udgments, neither is there any ground for us to murmure becaufe we do not underfiand them, or that they often fcem contrary

The ApoiHe therefore not without caufe , . would have all private judomeats (for ~f publi.ck for the maintenance of peace and ord_r among me~ e it is another cafe)deferr'd to that tin1e, when th~ hearts of all men jhall be laid open: all hidden th_n!/ and fecre( cotmfels teWaled. , But we have enough to fay in this i cafe without it.

Should we woncer if it had the fame 'event in Dr. :])ee, though otherwi[e, as he doth appear to us, i~nocent, and well qualified? That .this was his cafe and error, I .will appeal to his own confeffiott (t~ough he makes ithis boafl:) in more then. one of his Lerre~s or addreiTes,. where he profdfeth, Tbat for divers years !Je bad been an earnefi juter unto God in prayer for W{~om; that is, as he interprets himfelf, That he might underpand the (ecrets of Nature that kad not ,been re),ealed _nto mm hitherto; to the u end, as he profeffeth, and his own deceitful heart it may be fugg~fted tO him, Thdlt he migJ>t glorifie God; but certainly, that himfelf might become a glorious man in the world, and be admired, yea, adored every where almo/1, as he might be ftue it would be, had he_ compatTed his defire. And what do we think fhould put him upon . fuc;h a ddire, with hopes to ob.tain it, but an opinion he had of himfelf as an extraordinary man, both for p~rts, and for favour wit!> God~ But however, had he been to the utmoll of what he could think of hin:felf, befides his Spiritual pride of thinking fo of himfelf .(as great a fin as any in the eyes of God) his P.raying for futh a thing with fo Inuch importunity, ~as a great ~empting or God, and deferving greareft judgments. Had h~ indeed been_ a finer un~o God for fuch Wijdom as the Prop he~ Jeremie defcribeth ( 11. v.14,15' L~t not_ the W:je man alorie in hu wifdom, &c. bu let him that gloriah, &c.

Befides_, it is l!.wful (nay fit) for a man to pray for Gods bleffing upon his labours, for coinEetency of wit and capacity that he may do wdl in his vocation and glOJ;ifie God. But for a man to afpirc to fuch eminency above other me_ , and n by means that are not ordinary (as that conceited Plrylofofbtrs Stone, and the like) and to intereft God by earne!t folicitations in his ambition$ extravagant defires; that God, who hath faid of hil'?felf, That he reji;1eth tht proud, ~ut givet!J grace unt~ the humble, mufl: needs be fo gr~at and fo high a provocarion (if well confidered) as -that I begin to .doubt whether it be ch~tity to pity him that fuffcred fojuilJy and defervedly. 1 do r:or know ~ut it is as law full for any , man obicurely born to pray for a Kingdom , fo't a Co1nrhon Souldier 'that he may have flre~gt}l to encounter thoufands , or for a-n ordinarie Maid , that ilie may become the fairdl: of WQmen.

But luch being the condition of the world,as it is,and fuch of men,naturally,or to fpeak as a Cluiilian, fince the fall of Adam,and the confequencies ofit,the curie ofGod,&c.to make all men wife, of one mind, good, religtous, without an infinite omnipotent power ,luch as of nothing was able to create a world ; can any m~n(fober and wife) hear it; hear it with patience, that thinks it impoffible, yea firange, that CafHes fhould be built in the air, or the heavens battered with great guns ? And yet il;cb books are read , yea and much fet by, by fome men. My judgment is, That they are to be pityed (if diftemper be the c.aufe,as I believe it is ih fo1ne )that boaft of fuch things; but if wife and politick,to get credit and moncy(as fome I believe) it is a great argument of their confidence, that there he many in the word that are not very wife. B:1t tQ return to Dr.Dee : lt might be further added and proved by exampl~s, that fof!~e men of tranfcendenr holinefs and mortification (I in the fight of men) fo fequdlrcd from the world (fome of them) and the vanities of it, that for many years they had converfed with God alone in a manner; yet through pride and conceit of their own parts and favour with God ,fell into deluftons and temptations, if not alto~ gether the fa,me, yet not lefs ilrange and dreadful. Such examples Ecclefiafhcal Story will afford,and other books of that nature, but I have them not at this time, and I conceive I have faid enougn to this particular. But of his Praying too, fomewhat would be obferved. Hi5 Spirits tell him fomewhere, that he had the Gift of Praying. Truly I believe he had, as it is ordinarily caUed: that it is,that he could exprefs hi1nfelfvery Ruently and earndl:ly in Prayer,and that he did it often to his own great contentment. Let no n1an wonder at this; I have fhewed elfewhere that fome that have been very wicked, yea, tome that dyed for blafph~rny ~ and with blafphemy in their 1nourh to the laft gaip, have had it in a great meafurel and done much milchief by it. le is no difparage~ent to Prayer, -no more then it is to the befl: things of the world (and what better and more heavenly then prayer well ufed ?) i f they be abufed. And it is commonly obferved,that the corruption of beft things is moft dangerous. What bred thofe pernicious here(icks that fo long troubled the \~.rorld, and could not be fuppreffed but by abfolure defhuttion , but long affeCt-ed prayers (therefore called Euchites or lYfejfaliani, that is to fay ,the Prayers) and EnthuGafms ?

For fidl, we fay, The Divel is notambidous to fhew hirnfelf and his abilities'before men, but his way is (fo obferved by many) to fit himfelf (for matter and words) .~o the genius and capacity of thofe that he dealeth \Vith. Dr.1)u, ofhimfelf, long before, any Apparition, was a CabaliA:ical man , up to the ears, as I ma.y fay; as may appear to any man by his Monas Hiergglypbica, a book much valued by himfelf, and by him Dcdicared at the.firfi to.Maximiliantbe Emperor, and fince prefented (as ~re related by himfelf)to rJ\!ldoJphe a~ a choice piece. It may be thought fo by thofe who dl:eem f uch ~ooks as Dr. Floid, Dr .Aiabafler, and oflate Gafarefl,.and the like. For my part I have read him ; it is foon ,don, it is but a little book : but I mutt profefs that I can extract no fcnfe nor reafon (found and folid) out of it : neither yet doth it feem to me very dark or n1yflical. Sure we are that thofe Spirits did aCl: their paQ:s fo well with Dr.:Det, th,at for the mofi: parr(in mofi: Actions) they.came off with good credit; and we find the Dr. every where almofl: extolling his Spiritual .teachers and infl:rucrers, and prayfing God for them.

Not to be wondred therefore if the fame things be found elfewhere, where the D. hath an hand. With Cabaliflical writings we may joyn Cbymical, here alfo mentioned in many places.

If he mean Supernos Spirit~s, fuch as appear in form of Angels of Lighc,fuch as ~eluded Dr. Du, and da1ly doth thoie that hunt after fl\.e.l,elatwns, and Prophectes, and unlawful Curiofities, I grant it. But that any good Angels did ever meddle in a praCtice commonly attended with fo much impoflure) impiety, coufenage as this commonly is, I fhall not eafily grant. Though I muH add, I make great difference (if we will fpeak properly} between Arts faciendi auri (a thing I do not deny to be feafible by natural.me.1ns)and that we call the Phylojophers Stone, as before already intimated. And for that objection of his, why evil Spirits fbould not be th~ Authors or revealers of it unto any (though other wile for fome .other reafons he thinks it probable) beqmie it is not likely that God would [uffe~ them to give fuch power unto men like thcm1el ves, whom only among men they favour and refpeCl:, that is, wick.ed ungodly men. Firft, I anfwer, That is a very weak objcCtion,fince we know by confhnt experience of prefent and future Ages, that they are not of the befl: of men commonly that are_ greateft and richefl:. But Secondly, There is no great caufe to fear the that any thing hitherto revealed (or hereafter to be revealed, I believe) of this fecret, fbould enable men {good or bad) to do much hurt in. the world. The rreatefl: hurt is to thcrnfelves who are deluded(yea,and beggerd many firfl: or lafl:) and to fome few not very wife whom they coufen as themfelves have been coufened. And for this that they can do no more, we are beholding not to the Divel \Vho certainly' 'vould not be vvanting to himfelf or to any opportunity to do mifchief by hirnfelf or his Agents, but to God vvho doth not give him the povver: So much to Mirandula, out of my refpect to his name, anil for the better fatisfacrion to the Reader. I ovve the fight and ufe of the book to my Learned friend Dr.Wi:ndett before mentioned-. I am much confirmed in that opinion (of the Divel being the Author) by vvhat I find of it in the book vvhich hath given me this occafion to fpeak of it. Were there nothing elfe but the grofs and impudent forgeries that have been ufed to commend it unto men, Come entituling the Invention to .A"dam hin1felf, others to Solomon,and the like; and the many books that have been counterfeited to the fame end;and again the mofi ridiculous and profane applying & expounding of Scriptures,a thing ufually done by mofl: that are abettors of it,thole rhings vverc: enough to make a man to abhor it. Sure enough it is,that not only Dr. Vee, but others alfo vvho had part of that precioM Po1Vder brought unto them by Spirits, and expeCted great matters of it, vvere all cheated and gull'd (and I believe it cofl: fome of them a good deal of money ; Prince rJ(o femberg paaicnlar1y) by thofe Spiritual Chymitl:s..

So Hill we fee, that in all thefe thiflgs, as we faid before, the D~vel isnot be~ holding to others, ( as.mjghr be fufpected) bur others ha,.'e been bchold:ng to him: As for his Divinity, in highdl points, if he fpakc the truth> ic was for his own ends, as we faiJ before: He: can do it, who makes any. queilion.?

I confefs it is poffi b!e, that men lawfully called may prove bad enough, we have d~vcrs examplesin the Scripture. Bu' if a man, fimply and ignorandy be mif-I~d by fuch, certainly hi~ jucJgen1ent will be much lighter then they can expeer, who will not ufe the means _ that. God hath , ordained,. in fo great and weighty a bufinefs as the fal vation. of Souls is. I know not vvhat thefe men can fay for themielvcs, ex~~pt it ~e, that they are refolved to . make ufe of the Liberty of the times to pleafe their hum or ; they uiay do it; but if that bring them to Heaven, they have good luck. , But the bufinefs .of praying, is that I w_ uld principally inGft upon: o You fee here how Dr. Dee, where he giv~s an account of himfelf to_the Emperor, and others, bears hit.nfelf much upon this, thatfo many years he bad been an earn eft Suitor unto God by Prayer to obtain TYifdom, fuch wifdom as he was ambitious of. I believe him, that he had prayed very earnefily, and with much importunity many tit:ttes: This Vl(a~ the thing that made him fo confident of his Spirits, that they mufi needs b~ goo.d Spirits and Angels. I know a man, I have no comfort to tell it) . ut that b I would not conceal any thing that.may be a warning unto others, and yet I will. have a refpea unto him too: But I knew qn~,a very innocent man(in his outward converfati.on, and as I believe very really) Humble, Religious, very Learned and Orthodox, and one that had fuffered for his Confcience, as others have done in thefe times: This worthy man) being en gage- in a coJitroverted Argument, ~pon which his phancy had wrought d very much, or rather wbich had much wrought upon. his phancy; -he had written much, filled much Paper, and was deGrous to communicate unto me as his friend what he had done: But when I perceived that the drif~ of his writing was out of the Law and the Prophets, to fhew the neceffity of fame things which I thought of a more i.ndifferent nature; I was not willing to meddle with it; ~nd begun to argue againfi his main drift, and to fhew my difiiking. After many words to and fro, he began to prefs me vviththis, that he had often prayed with much earnellnefi, and ~e v1as very confident that God had heard his Prayers: . Yea, he P. or cecded fo far, that if God were true, he could not be deceived~ and ufed many other words to the fame purpofe, at which l was much amazed; but could

could do no good upon him, fuch was his confidence and violence upon this occafion, though otherwife a very moderate ingenuous man: And thus I foand him more then once, or,twice. Truly, l think God was ve.. merciful unto him, that too~ him away in good time. But certainly this bu'6ncfs of Prttyer and prai[l!lg, is a buGnefs as of great comfort (the great eft that mort.al man is _ apable of upon ('otrth) fo of much more danger and c ddufion, tb~n many do believe. And if caution and circumfpection be to be ufed in any thing that belongs to Religion, I think it ought in Prayer, a'3 much as .any thing. And-fince rhave adventured to tell one flory upon init'le own credit, I will t -11 one more upon better atithQrity, which I- have : long defired (for the obfcrvablenefs of it) to communicate unto the world, and to thar - nd, h.ad once i oferted it in a Treatife of mine, which e I thought would have been Printed, but it was not: I will firrt give the Englifh ,of it, that a"Il men t;nay' reap the benefit, and then fet it down )n the word! of my Author (mine own Father Ifaac C afaubon, of b. m.) as I have it to fhcw under his hand.

Dee (who befl: knew) doth give us here tbroughoutthe whole Book of this Ke!LeJ, whether Wevers Storyin his Funend Monum. pag. 45, 46. of dannable Necrom.tntJ, and other DiabrJlic.1L (onjuration, pratl:!~ed by Kelle)' in Lancafhire, be not (bdidcs what is there faig and attdl:ed) much more probable, then any tbing that bath been or can be {aid by others, to his juH:ificacion or commendation: Which indeed dmh m~b Doelor Vet's cafe altogether ioexcufable, that beiievin g and knowing the m2n to be {uch a one, he wollld have to do with him, and expected good by his Minilleries; but that the Do Cl: or his Faith, and his i ntellet'tualls ( throug b Gods jut1 judgemen r, as we bave fa id) were fo much in tbe power and government of hi:; ~pirits, rhar they might pcr!wadc him to ilny thing, under colour of doing 1erv ice unro God, yea had it been to cut his own Fathers throat, as we fee in the Retation,tbat they perfwaded him to lie with another mans Wife 1 and proilitute his own to a vile,and, by himfelf bclivcd, Diabolical man. Befi.des, 1 have been told by many, that Dr. Dee, very poor and every way miCerable, dyed at MortJack._, here about London, which dotb not feem to agree with the rt>port in thofe .Armolations: Butenough of them : Neirher indeed have I faid any thing at all of purpofe to oppofe the Author, but t() give this further fatisfatl:ion to the Reader, or ratber to the tmth, which I thought I was bound to do. The paffage in Wevcrs Funeral 0Vfonum!nts, pag. 45, 46. concerning Ke!L:y, for their facisfaC:lion that have not the Book, is this; Ketley, (otherwife called '1t:ibot) that famous Englifo Alchymill:of Gut times, who flying out of his own G oumrey (after be had lofi both his ears at Lanc~fte-,-) was entertain cd by R1dolph the [econd, and la!l: of that Chrifl:ian name, Emperor of Cjermany; for whom Efiz.,abeth of famous memory, fcnt (very fecrNly) Captain 'Peter GJvJn, with fome others, to perfwade him to rerum hack ro his owrt Native home, which he was willing to do; and thmkiog to efcape away in the night, by ftealth, as he was clammering over a Wall in his own Houfe in P-,-4g,te (wbicb bears his name to this day, and fometimes was an old San-ctuary) he fell down from the Battlements, broke bis leggs, and bruifed his body, of which hurts wirhiPa while :1ftcr, he dt'pancd this World. Sed quo r[Hm h<c? . you will fay : Then thus, This Diabolical queftioning of the dead, for the know ledge of future accidents, was put in practice by the faid Ke!!ey, who upon a certain Nighr, in the Park of Walton in le dale, jo the C Ol:lnty of Lane-after, With one P i11T1l ~1ring, (his fellow- companion in fucl.t Deeds of darlcnefs) invocated fome one of the Infernal Regiment, to know certain pa!fages in the lifet as alfo what might be known by the Olvels ford!ght, of the manner and time of the death of a Noble yongGeiuleman; as then in Wardfhip. The Black Ceremonies of that Night being ended, Keilq demanded of one of the Gentlcmans fervants, what Corfe was the lafl buryed :n Law Church-yard, a Church thereunto ad joyning, who told him of a poor man that was buryc:d there but the fame day : He and the faid Wttring, in treated 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 rrtade him (or rather fome evil Spirit through hi5 Organs) to fpeak, who dc:livereJ flnnge Predict:ions concerning the faid Gentleman. I w11s told thus much by the faid Serving-man, a Secondary Actor in that difmal abhorred bufinefs; and divers Gentlemen and others are now living in Lancafhire, to whom he h~th related this Story. And the Gentleman himklf (whofe memory I am bound to bonor) told me a little before his d eatb, of this Con juration by ](dley, as he bad it by relation from bi' f~id Servant and Tenant, oncly fome circum(tances excepted, which he thougbt not fitting tQcome to h.> :'-LtLrs knowledge,

Thurfday Julii 4 hora I I: nntt c.Mrridiem. 1583. Note. A. When I came h(Mlle yefterday from t h ~Court , and from Loffdon; and from th~ Lord Lask..ie, I found tbat E. K. was purpo fed to ride forth of Town, and intended to be a.;. way (as he exprefly told me) five dayes: Certain Companions and his acqua.:ntance having fo appointed with him,fome tarrying for him in Mortluck..t , and fome at brainford ( as was perceived this day afterward, aud aJ he confdfed umo me. ) Whereupon J thought good to. fignifie fo much unto the Lord Laskjr who-meant to come and ref~efit himfelf at my houfe, .as he was wont before; eith~r thts day, or within two or three dayes after: Who alfo delighted in E. K. his company, & c. Hereupon about the time of E.K. his rifing I wroce rhefe lines, intending to fend them prefently to th e Lord Laskje, that word might be returned of his intent before E. K. lhould ride, I meaning and hoping to perfwade E. K. to tarry fo long, ~nd upon fuch refpett.

Thi s Letter being now written, and not yet folded up, my friend E. K. was ready and came out of his Chamber into my Stu dy ; and I told him, chat I was even now fending word eo the Prince L11skje of his rideing om, and return afrerfive dayes; and fo fhewed him the Letter: who wheu he came to the phrafe, ~id fit ip[a verzttH , he wa5 famewhat offended, faying, What fecret meaning hath this, upon fome of your two former confe rence ? Truly ((aid I ) even fuch as the circumfiance of the Letter doth import, that is ; Whereas y cu fa id chat you intended to return within five dayes, 9r at the fame dayes end, it is uncertain whether you will, or (hall, return later or fooner : and therefore ~id fit i.p[a vrrit,Jf of your return, or ~ment t o return, onely God cloth know. He would by uo meanes admit chat my fincere expoGrion, bm feemed fitfpitious of fome other undue conflruetions of rhofe former words ; thereupon I took theLetter and tore it in three piece5, and fenc none : But in my mind refen:ed all to God. his difpofition, a!furing my felf of God his moJf conftant proceeding in his 'iW11 lljfairs. Shortly after faid E. K. to me, Certainly here is a fpiritual Creature in my right s o.,lt, fhoulder, who (~nfibly faith eo me, Come away: So ( faid 1 ) did one fay to Sow!e, when Ev1l fpirirs. tl1ey would have had him away to have drowned him, whom I Jlayed in this Study by force, . and [o hindered the Devil of h1s purpofe then; as appearerh by rhat unhappy man yet alive. Nay faid E. K. they have told me that if I tat'ry here,llhall be h anged; and if I go with rhis Prince he will cut off my head,and that y ou mean not to /terp prom1{e with me; And therefore if I might have a thoufand pound to tarry, yea a Kingdom, I cannot: Th f'refore I re/ea[~ f ifry p<'und y ou of JOZtr promife of )O po1mds yearly S tipmd to me,and :rou need.not doubt buc G9d will deyearly llipcnd, fen d yon and profperyon, and can of the very ftones ra tfe up chtldren eo A braham: And a~ain b cannot_aiide my wife: I love ber n11t,'ft.ayl abhor her; and there k the houfe I am mifliI E.

And after I had complained of injury and violence dorieunto nie, by fonl flanders, and chat, at his Honours Table: (to which his Honour? in my behalf had replied: and therefore moft humbly, and lincerely l did thank him) I fatd that the Emperous Majefl-y himfelf could bear me wicndfe, that f nfed this phrafe unto him, that I came not for his riches as,Non venr ad vos 0 Scrmif{ime C.t{4r propter divitias veflras, ut inJeego .div~s ftercm, .fed ti V<'(r miff116, . non audco aliter f ttur~ quam ej 11! ad veflr.e_m c.t[auam Majeftatnn voluntatcm d eclar.flre, &c.

F ryday, OCiobrn 5. At.afternoon came one ofDdl:our Curtzs his fervams from his Mafl:er to tell me,that his Mafier would come to me to morrow in the morning about feven, eight, or nirie of the Cloek,as I would,&c, Saturday, OCI(Jbril 6~ Man~. Before [even of the Clock 1 thought good rather my felf to go to Dofrour Curtz, then 'to (ntfer him to come to me Co far, and that for divers caufes : So I went to hirn,and came before he was 'ready. 'At his being ready he came forth, but nothing with fo chearfull a coun-:tenance to welcome me as he did at the firft: I conjectured that he fufpeB:ed that I would tak~ his words in eTil part; which he had to faY: to me from the Emperour, which (afcer I had fomewhat fpoken ()fthe book chat I lent hurt, and fome other, chat had t\'ritten fomc::what of fuch matter of divifion of fuperfiCies; and he had told me that this my book was the mofl: excellent Ih that Argument; and fo made a paufe, he began in this fort in two parts to div,ide his fpeech; and faid _tha-t Ctt[area fua M,1jrftlis quantum ad fua peccata (per me repr~~ hm[a) folet Confef!ionarium adbibere tempore & Loc, opportunu ,-,uque diffidere ilium de Ml[eric~r dia. divina; ~antum autem 6-ti me attinebat , paratam eJ!e (uam Ca:faream Majr}tatem mihl gratificari & bmefacer-i in qullcurwque re qu.t i!li& [ubjireret ..tuthoritati: 1 hereupon anfwered, and faid : Doleo ver.b.t mea in alio fenfu inte!le{]a vel concepta fuiJJe 4 fu C.efat'3 Majeftate quam intdligi vel onci!i debebant.

And did wifh that they had been delivered before the Emperour had refo1ved on che former anfwer : Thofe Letters (faid I) are m the Ambaffadour~ of S:,ain's hands; and if he will not deliver them to day,I.will fw:h th~m for you :H_yot: do(faid he)I will de1iver them fl:raight way, for at eighth of the Clock you fhall have me m the Ritrer fiove, or hear of~.: there. Then (faid I) I will ll:raight way go to the Ambaifadour. 1 went unto the Ambitffadour of Spain, and reporct:d all that had paffed between me and D. Curtz, He faid, that by reafon of his divers affairs he had not good opportunity, never fince the receipt of my Letters to go to the Empcrours Majd!y: B:tt that this day he deter~ min11d to deliver my Letters with his own band unto his Ylajefl:y :fo with thanks give_n to hi' . horwur I departd : I went to the /titter ftove (or ( hamber of prefeuce) where I found none of the Guard, but very many fitting without. In the fiove were three, or four, <ilf which 01Je went l1raight way into the privy Chamber, and by and by D.

@A trHe Relation of Dr. Dee his 40ionspithfpirits~&c.

Right Honorable SIR, Lbeit I have (almoft) in vain come a hundred miles (from Prage to this Leipjich Mart) hoping either to meet my Servant there, with anfwer to my former Letters, fent in November lafi to her T\1rt jefiy (when alio I wrote unto your Honor, and divers other). And fo with fpeed from this Leipjich to have fent again, mofi: fpeedily as occafion iliould have ferved. And now, I find, neither fervant, neither Letter from hi~n, neither word of tnouth: yet all this notwith.flanding : and whatfoever the hindrance or delay hereof be (whether the keeping back of my Letters from her Maje.fiy, or the manifold and importune, mofi weighty affairs publick hindring or delaying her Majefiies mofi: gracious, difcreet and wife refolution lu:rein :or what other occafion dfe hath and cloth caufe this long and wonderful delay of anfwer receiving. All this notwithfianding, l thought good, before I fet up to my Coach, to vi ... fit, and mofi humblyto falute your Honour very faithfully, dutifully and fincerely, with great and the fame good will , that my Letter Come yeers fince written to your Honour , (butt hen) a finmbling block unto your Honour and other , for the firangneiie of the Phra[es therein) doth pretend, [o it is, right Honourab It, that the merciful providence of the Highefi , declared in his great and abundant graces upon me, and mine, is fo wonderful and mighty, that very few, unleffe they be prefent witneffes,can believe the fame. Therefore how hard they are to be believed, there where all my" life and doings were confirued to a contrary fenfe : .and proceffe of death contrived and decreed againfi the Innocent, who can not eafily judg. I am forced to be brief. That which England fufpeB:ed, was alfo here, for the[.e two yeers, almoH (fecretly) in doubt, in quefiiou, in confultation Imperial and Royal, by Honourable Efpies, fawning about me, and by other, diftourfed upon , pryed and peered into. And at length, both the chief Romifh power, and Imperial dignity, are brought to that point, refolutely, that, partly they are forry, of their folate reclaiming their erroneous judgment againfi: us and of us , and feek means to deal with us, fo as wee might favour both the one and the other: And part1y to Rome is fent for as great Authority and Power as can be devifed, and likewife here, all other means and wayes contrived, How, by force, or for feare,they may make us glad to follow their humours. But a1l in vain, for force humane we fear not : as plainly, and often, I have to the Princes declared :And otherwife then in pure verity, and godlinelfe, we will not favour any (my words may feem Very marvellou~ in your Honours ears: But mark the end, wee have had (and thall have to deal with no babes) I have full oft and upon many of their requefis and

1r.e reJ4ti~ ofDr.D~e his /JUiont,witb(pirits, &c

and quefiions , referred tny felf to her Majefties an[wer , thus, in vainJ expeCted. Nunciu-s' Apoftolicw, (Germanicm lvfala Spina) after his yeers [uit unto me to be acquainted with me, at length had fuch his anfwer, that he is gone to Kome 'vith a flea in hi~ eare, that diquietcth him, & terrifieth the whole State Romiih and Jefuitical: fecrerly they threaten us violent dearh, and openly they fawn upon us. We know, the fling of Envy, and the fury of the Fear in Tyrannical minds , what defperate attempts rhey have and do often undertake. But the God of Heaven and Earth is our Light,Leader, and Defender. To the \Vorld:. end, his mercies upon us, will bread his Praifes, Honour and Glory. Thus much very rhapfodically-, (yet faithfully) tan~Jtllt dictum jd.pienti, I thought good ro commit to the fafe and fpeedy conveyanc.e of a young Merchant here called Lawrence Ocz;erton : which if it come to your Honours hands before my Servant have his difpatch,I (hall or may by your Honour be advctdzcd. Your Honour is fufficient from her Majefiy to deal and proceed with me, if it be thought good. But if you make a Council..Table Cafe of it, QJ!ot bomincs, tot fementix. And my Comii: f10n from ahove is not fo large : Q!!i poteft cape re, capiat. Sir, I trufi, I fhall have Juftice for my Houfe, Library, Goods, and Revenues, &c. Do not you difdain, neither fear to bear favour unto your poor Innocent N~ighbour. If you fend unto me Mafier ThCJmd'S Diggs , in her Ma)efties behalf 1 his faithfnlneife to her Majdty, and my well liking of the 1nan, {hall bring forth fome piece of good fervice. But her Majefiy had been better, to have fpent or given away in Alms , a Million of Gold , then to bat;~e loft fom~ opportKnities paJ1. No humane reafon can limit or deter mine God his marvellous means of proceeding with us. Hee bath made of Saul (R K.) a Paul: but yet, now and then, vifited with a pang of humane frailty. The Almighty blelfe her Majefiy both in this World, and eternally : and infpire your heart with fome conceiving of his merciful purpofes, yet, yet, not utterly cut off from her M a jefty, to en ;oy From Leipfich this 14 of May 1586, at Peter Hans Swarts Houfe.

No re.
The t ord ~fenbergco1d us that when he did (in our b<Jhalf) advi.fe: the Empetour of hi error 'COmmmed in our extermination, that the Emoerour anfwered that this N1mciK1 from his firft Audie n~e did urge [o vehemently againR us, and al(o the Pope _ha~ [em. corr.mandmcnt_ by Letter to hnn to delm:r u! and fend us w Rome , that he was forced-m manrtcrto do as he d1d. But if the commandcmem or his Decree wt:re to be made again, that it fhould not pafle, or if this Nunci1U Ap-j!olicU6 had not f~m t~is Decree a~ay to Rome, ~at he fhould not fend it,&c. This I !late m refpcEt of the comramty m the NuncsH4 aifenron, and the Emperours, of our fo hard ulage. The fore(aid eleventh day of ]ulJ, the forefaid Fr. Pucci to prove thi> his intended perfwaGon of theNunci m good rneaniQg toward us, and to make us be,leeve that great benefit w<;>Uld en[ue our 3oing to Rome, did bring fonh unto us a writin~ of his own hand which he read unto us, and at the hearmg of it we muled much fl)r many caufes I asked hjm then why the Nunci1U had not fubfcribed this writing. lt is nll one [aid ht: for that ; l-;lath he heard this read ( qtioth I,) yea, that he hath heard me read this three (everal times , a rife unto him {fa id he ; ) And 1f you hke of it iaith he, wher.eiq,his power ferveth him not to performe as much as is fpecified in the writing, he will make and ufc meanes'to have it from his Holineffe; well, laid I, take a copy hereof Mr. KellJ, fr I was rid ing coward S~tifei/d abom a h oule getting; Thereupon (aid he, contented, but 1 think i.t a-~eeccr tO fave and ke ep the original it fdf fa1d .

After 10 of the clock the fame Friday, being the d evemh <.hy of this moneth, after break-fall I rid toward. S alfula about r:1e houfc ot the Earl Alhert o( Swarf:>.jenherg, &1. But after I was out of Erff~~rd until my return again , l was fo (ore vexed in mind to think of Pucci his return to our company , M well fo.,.,hu unquiu nAture jn dtfputMiORJ, .u for his hi~Jbbinl of our fe,rm without rJUr le.cve, or welL ltk}ng., or A11J good doing therebl; either in God hu fervice , or our credit, but rather the contrary 1 e111uing albm not of his intent~ but by eitheT his undi(creet )landling of it, or of his undue hearer~ of him, &c. A!'ld alfo for !).is Houfhold beh:tviour, not t~cceptable to our wives and family, and ~lio_becaule we were ':""arned that he fhould be ~ut 'if fr(}m our corJIAIIJ,&c. And chieA.y, ~ow to conhder that he had la1d fuch ~ h11it for us with our mortal enemy, eo entrap us by fair fa wrung words, wh1ch by no meanes the Emperour would confent eo do before by bis anhoriry, rut rather eo_ put us out of his Kingdomes, &c. And imagining that he was a miohty Explorator' upon us,. forclus Nuncim ~poj!Dliou? and. his adherents , that now he miu~c perceive what we had . d one hirheno_, what we were dowg, and what we intended to do, and conll~ering that"ht: ~rg~d at our ~ands m anfwer to the fo_mer w!icing . wherein alfo lay a trap r for either m not anfwermo tt, or rduling to graht fome pomts of lt, or m our cortfentino t6 the whole, this NunciiH wo~ld put ~cterag~iolt us _o our great_ t difadv~nrage.

I replyed and (aid,that he was not to urge God.upM any hu fqingJ to m,but to rebre all eo his malt free -di(polition , his w!ll was to be done and not otus ~ God was noc bound to us, &c.

The horfc is milk w-hite , all fiudded with white : a very comely horfe it is. Theman is in cornpleat harnefs,the top of h'is helmet hath a lharp form. Upon his Target, are many Cherubi~s ,, 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 e_ight, and then a great Circle with ten in Sum. it, and in the greatefi: are twenty ; and about the Circle of twenty are feven parts : at each of which points is a Cheruhin ; Their faces be like burning gold, their wings be more brighter and as it were their wings coining over . their heads do ChtTubin. not touch together. His horfe is alfo harniihed before and behind. The horfe legs beh_nd are harniihed as with boots mari veiloufly coritrived,for defence as it were_ of his hinde legs. E.

TEXTUAL NOTES
Emericus Casaubons True & Faithful Relation, published in 1659, is a partial transcript of the Spirit Actions of Dr. John Dee and Sir Edward Kelley, compiled from MS. Cotton Appendix XLVI Parts I & II. The main body of the text begins in 1583 with the parallel Sixth (and Sacred) Book of the Mysteries (the companion volume to the real Sixth (and Sacred) Book of the Mysteries that is known as Loagaeth, now indexed as MS. Sloane 3189) and ends with Dr. Dees last recorded scrying sessions of 1607. There are numerous errors of transcription and of printing (too numerous to note), and the Cotton MS. itself is incomplete; however, Casaubons text serves as an often invaluable aid in the reading of the MS., supplying the occasional word which has decayed since 1659, and otherwise greatly assisting in the reading of Dees handwriting, which frequently borders on the illegible. For the interested reader, there are some errors of pagination which must be noted. These are errors on the part of the overworked printer, and do not signify lacun in the text. The pagination skips from page 104 to page 109. Page 142 is numbered 124. Page 218 is numbered 212. Page 220 is numbered 206. The pagination skips from page 256 to page 353. Page 421 is numbered 417. Page 426 is numbered 422.

Please note that a text version of A True & Faithful Relation may be found at Cornell University Library, whilst digital scans of the Cotton and other manuscripts can be found at The Magickal Review. Links to further sources of information on Enochian magick can be found at the Open Directory Project.
