External, Internal and Eternal happiness be wished, Honoured Sir,

I do observe every man naturally desires a Superiority, to have

Treasures of Gold and Silver, and to seem great in the eyes of

the world; God indeed Created all things for the use of man, that

he might rule over them, and acknowledge therein the singular and

Omnipotency of God, and give him thanks for his benefits; honour

him and praise him: But there is no man

looks after these things, otherwise then by spending his days

idly, they would enjoy them without any previous labour and

danger; meither do they look them out of that place, where God

bath treasured them up, who expects also that man should seek for

them there, and to those that seek, viil he give them: But there

is not any that labours for a possession in that place, and

therefore these Riches are not found: For the way to this place,

and the place itself, hath been unknown for a long time, and it

is hidden from the greatest part of the world. But

notwithstanding it be difficult, and laborous to tind out this

way and place; yet the place should be sought after; But it is

not the will of God to conceal

anything from those that are his; and therefore in this last age,

before the final judgement comes, all these things shall be

manifested to those that are worthy: As he himself (though

obscurely, lest it should be manifested to the unworthy) bath

spoken in a certain place; there is nothing covered that shall

not be revealed, and hidden that shall not be known; and there-

fore being a SERVENT OF GOD, AND SECRETARY OF NATURE, we do de-

clare the will of GOD to the World, which we have also already

performed and published in Italy and England; but most men,

either revile or contemn our HARMONY OF THE WORLD, and TEMPLE OF

WISDOM etc., or else waving the spirit of God, they expect the

Proposals thereof from us, supposing we will stright way teach

them how to make Gold by Art, or furnish them with ample

treasures, whereby they may live pompously in the face of the

world, swagger, and make wars, turn Usurera, Gluttons and

Drunkards, live unchastly, and defile their whole life with

several other sins; all which things are contrary to the blessed

will of God; these men should have learnt from those TEN VIRGINS

(whereof five that were foolish demanded Oil for their Lamps,

from those five that were vise) how that the case is much

otherwise; It is expedient that every man should labour for the

treasure by the assistance of God, and his own particular search

and industry. But the perverse intentions of these Fellows we

understand out of their writings, by the singular Grace and

Revelation of God, we do stop our ears, and

wrap ourselves, as it were in clouds, to avoid the bellowing and

howling of those men, who in vain cry out for Gold. And hence

indeed it cones to passe, that they brand us with infinite Cal-

umnies and Slanders, which notwithstanding we do not refute, but

God in his good time will judge them for it. But after that we

had well known (though unknown to you) and perceived all by your

writing, how diligently you are to peruse the holy Scripture and

seek the true knowledge of God: We Honour you Sir Richard above

thousands, and aignifie thus much to you, not, but that you know

as much as our self: But as a token of our good will, that may

make you aindfull of us. There is a Mountain situated in the

midst of the Earth, or Centre of the World, which is both small

and great. It is soft, and also above measure hard and stony. It

is far off, and, near at hand, but by the providence of God

invisible. In it are hidden most ample treasures, which the world

is not able to value. This mountain by envy of the Devil, who

always opposeth the glory of God, and the happiness of man, is

compassed about with every cruel Beasts and other ravenous Birds,

which make the way thither both difficult and dangerous. And

therefore hitherto, because the time is not yet come, the way

thither could not be sought after, nor found out, but now the way

is to be found by those that are worthy, but notwithstanding by

every man’s self labour and endeavours. To this mountain, you

shall go in a certain Night (when it comes) most long and
