The XXI. Chap.

AFter-that spake God. and saide: [ A] Yee Holyones and Wyse / yee honourable Lordes and Iudges / and yee most-noble Seedea 1.1 of the renowmedst kinglie Stocke of the most-puissant Maiestie: Presentlie {reversed ;}eauen in thissame Daye of the vpright Iudgment; will I excuse or cleere myself with the Trueth {reversed ;}before your Noblenes of so excellent and high-degree; against my contrarye Partie: and affirme heere before the Iudgment / b 1.2 that ther can none other God more beare-dominion / besydes Mee. For I onlie am the Lorde.

2. Inasmuch then as that I amc 1.3 holie, vp∣right, and true / in all my Woorkes / so will I alsod 1.4 possesse alone the Seate of the godlye Ma∣iestie· and also {reversed ;}according to the Trueth; keepe well the Victorie / and that with Right.

3. I Heare heere before the Iudgment / a [ B] Complaint against Mee: To-wit / that I {reversed ;}with the Light of my Woorde; should haue made an entrie / into anothers Light / Wisdom / & Peace. and so haue brought-in Distourbaunce and Dis∣sention

by the Man / in hys Vnderstandinge: Wherto I rightlie make-answer / that I knowe not of anye other Light / e 1.5 but my Life: and the Life / which proceedeth or floweth from Mee / that∣same is the true Light of the Man: and is to an Illuminating of him in his Vnderstanding / and ther is none other Light more.

4. Also I knowe not of any otherf 1.6 Wisdome / but the holie Vnderstandinge / which also is a Life of my Life· and for that cause likewise / a Light of my Light. I knowe not also of any Peace / but the peaceableg 1.7 Louelynes of my Spirit of the Loue / which also all my Holyones {reversed ;}which are becom sanctified through the Light of my Life; do inherit in the euerlasting Life.

5. For-that-cause / O yee honourable Lordes ؛Testimony-of-trueth and holie Vnderstan∣dinge{punctel} haue well in remembraunce / this my Cleer∣ing of myself: and consider effectuallie of my Light. And then peruse it all / whether that ther be in Hea∣uen or-yet vpon Earth / any other Light more / thenh 1.8 that Light / which is my true Life itself: and whether that also it doth not all walke in y^e* 1.9 Dark∣nesses / that is or hath his Fourth-goinge with-out my Light of Life. In such-like-sort deale also with my Wisdom / Rest / and Peace / wherin the syn∣cere Loue standeth-firme for euermore. For I knowe that your Noblenesses do well vnderstand and haue intelligence of these Mattiers.

[ C] 6. THissame Complaint made by Search∣ing-prouidence, and y^e Cleering of God

in his case / beinge thus com-to-passe / so did then the Lordes and Iudges / take-vp both their Cau∣ses: and departed ther-with into their Counsel-chamber / for to peruse-ouer thesame groundlye / and that they mought so pronounce-fourth an vpright Sentence ther-of.

7. Now whenas they were com-fourth againe / they saide vnto God and Prouidence: Yee haue presented your Causes on both sides / heere before vs and the Iudgment: and hauinge throughlie considered therof / so is this our Counsell touching thesame / and our first Sentence / that wee pro∣nounce ther-of.

8. Each-one of you shall expresse or de∣clare heere before Vs / * 1.10 the cleerest Certifica∣tion {reversed ;}that is knowē vnto hym therof; of his Right / wherby hee mought haue Iustice.

9. Out of which Declaration / wee will yet far∣der throughlie-wey each-ones Mattier / To-thend that wee pronounce not fourth the last Sentence o∣uer-swiftlie / and so the one or the other to rest dis∣contented: but that it may be wrought with such Manifest-certification and Vnderstandinge / that it may be as-well knowen to him against whom thesame falleth-out / that wee haue spoken rightlie / or pronounced the Sentence in right-fourme / accor∣ding the to Trueth / as vnto him with whom the mattier goeth.

10. NOw when these Woordes were ended / [ D] Testimony-of-trueth saide: Let Sear∣ching-prouidence

bring-fourth heere before vs / his Declaration of his Light / and of his Equalitie with the Godhead: And let God also doo the like / of his Light. and that ther is none other Light more / and that Hee onlie / is God and the Lorde. Eueryone shall now {reversed ;}in thissamek 1.11 New Daye; heare the vpright Iudgment pronounced-fourth / through Vs ؛Testimony-of-trueth, and Holie-vnderstandinge{punctel}.

11. Heer-vnto Searchinge-prouidence saide: Forasmuch as God hath now cleered himself / that Hee knoweth not of any other Light more: as also that ther should not be any other Wisdom more / but onlie his Light and Wisdom / So is therfore my Request to your Noblenes {reversed ;}yee honourable Lordes; that God may haue the Fore-going / in his Declaration: and euenso will I then {reversed ;}in the Vtteraunce of his mattier; take-heede vnto y^e time of my Declaratiō. and speake-fourth thesame (like-as it shall also be founde right-true) according to the Trueth.

[ E] 12. Then saide the Lordes and Iudges: Go∣to then / let it be eauenso. O God, it is vouchsafed Thee / that thou shouldest first bringe-fourth the Declaration of thy Right before vs. So let vs now heare thy Declaration / to prooue that thou hast right in thy Cause. And Thou {reversed ;}O Search∣ing-prouidence; shalt turne thy Hearinge ther∣vnto. Wher-in then God hath right / that shalt thou acknowledge to be true.

13. If thou then be able to disaprooue thesame

{reversed ;}by alledging of any better and cleerer Certificatiō; in any-poynt / therin shalt thou then be heard also at-full. And in such Order shalt thou likewise let vs heare thy Declaration / that thou hast to ap∣prooue thy mattier right / So may wee then vn∣derstande both your Cases· and yee both likewise / our Sentence {reversed ;}that wee pronounce thesame vp∣rightlie / according to the Trueth; in right-sort / To-thende that yee {reversed ;}on both sides; may euenso approoue and acknowledge all what is right / for right· and also accomplish thesame.
