The XII. Chap.

[ A] NOw after-that this Voyce had geeuen-fourth his Sounde in such-sort / ouer the vniuersall Earth / and ceassed for speaking any-more on the Earth / So be∣came then the whole Worlde / and all Men which inhabited the Earth and had Breath / a 1.1 turned into Silence: and were as theb 1.2 Dead / which do nether see, heare, nor feele. And ther-with I turned my Sight to the liuing God / which satt in the Heauen {reversed ;}c 1.3 his Seate{punctel}. and thought in my Heart: O God / what shall now {reversed ;}I beseech thee; com vpon the Worlde and the Men, in thissame Silence as the Dead?

2. After-that / I looked / and beholde: The Godhead opened his Side / on his Right-hande: and in thesame Side / I sawe seuen cleere Lightes: and each Light in-seuerall / was in Cleernes verie bright. These Lightes stoode in-course {reversed ;}as on-a-rewe; one-by-another / as beinge redie to appeere on the Earth / and to geeue-light on the Face of the Earth / with their Cleernes.

[ B] 3. After-that / I sawe / and beholde: The formost Light appeered first / on the Earth: and gaue {reversed ;}from God and out-of God; his Light and

Cleernes on the Earth. Howbeit / the Man sawe nor knewe not the Cleernes of the first Light.

4. After-that appeered the seconde Light / on the Earth: and gaue {reversed ;}from God and out-of God; his Light and Cleernes on the Earth. Howbeit / the Man had no regarde to the Cleernes of the second Light.

5. After-that appeered the thirde Light / on the Earth: and gaue {reversed ;}from God and out-of God; his Light and Cleernes on the Earth. Howbeit / the Man was not aware of thesame / for to perceaue the Cleernes of the thirde Light.

6. After-that appeered the fourth Light / on the [ C] Earth: and gaue {reversed ;}from God and out-of God; his Light and Cleernes on the Earth. Howbeit / the Man wist nor vnderstoode not anything at-all of the Cleernes of the fourth Light.

7. After-that appeered the fifth Light / on the Earth: and gaue {reversed ;}from God and out-of God; his Light and Cleernes on the Earth. Howbeit / the Man had no vnderstanding of the Cleernes of the fifth Light.

8. After-that appeered the sixth Light / on the Earth: and gaue {reversed ;}from God and out-of God; his Light and Cleernes on the Earth. Howbeit / the Man knew not the Cleernes of the sixth Light.

9. After-that came-fourth the seuenth Light: And I sawe / and beholde: The perfect Godhead / andd 1.4 Gods Rest / was in the seuenth Light. This seuenth Light appeered also on the Earth: and gaue {reversed ;}from God and out-of God; his Light and Cleer∣nes

on the Earth. Howbeit / the Man walked not / whylst that the Cleernes of the seuenth Light shy∣ned on the Earth.

[ D] 10. BVt of all these / the Man had not any Feeling nor Vnderstanding at-all. For the Worlde together with all Men on the Earth / were in all these seuen Lightes / c 1.5 turned whollie in∣to Silence. and so insencible / that they could not di∣stinct the Lightes from the Darknesses.

11. Then pitied I the case of all Men or Gene∣rations of the Earth / for that they were so whollie dead, insencible,f 1.6 and blinde. and sawe or knewe no∣thing at-all of all these-same.

12. After-that I sawe / and beholde: These seuen Lightes with their Shyninges and Cleernesses / passed or went in againe to God / in the heauenlie Beeinge: First-of-all / the seuenth Light / which ap∣peered last: after-that the sixth Light / vntill that they all / were becom consubstanciated and hidde a∣gaine in God / eauen-like as at the first. And after-that it becameg 1.7 darke ouer the vniuersall Earth.

13. Then cryed I vnto God / which liuethh 1.8 from euerlastinge to euerlastinge. and sayde:

[ E] 14. O Lorde God! Wher-to is y^e Man com / which is now so whollie couered with the Darknes / on the Earth: whom Thou notwith∣standinge / dydsti 1.9 create to such an Excellentie and Pretiousnes / on y^e Earth / and elect for to liue in thy Light? Oh / How vtterlie deadk 1.10 and insencible or voyde of conceauing of thy Loue / and of y^e Cleernes of thy Lightes / is now the Man becom!

15. O God! Hast thou then created the Man {reversed ;}which lyeth now thus whollie in the Death of Sinne / and couered so vtterliel 1.11 with the Darknes∣ses; altogether in vayne?

16. Shall then all the Loue / which thou {reversed ;}eauen-heatherto; hast bestowed on him / be frustrate?

17. Are then now thym 1.12 Promises touching the Mans Saluation / whollie at-an-end / as if they were nothinge / or had not any effect in them?

18. Shal-ther nothinge then {reversed ;}I saye; becom of all that / whervnto thou hast {reversed ;}out of thy gratious Loue; elected the Man· and {reversed ;}through thy Christ; calledn 1.13 and bidden him for to com? so shall then {reversed ;}no-dowt; the Man remaine in the state of perdi∣tion / & thy Promises rest vnfulfilled / for euermore.
