of somewhat is said in the Preface: in Latine by Doctor Dee.
¶ CXXXJV p. 417. The summe of Francis Puccius his commission, in high Language. Future Actions, in Rome. ¶ But here followeth a hiatus of some 6 months: which bereaves us of many particulars. In the mean time happened the sentence of banishment against Doctor Dee, by the Popes mediation and authority; (as his Nuncio, p. 434. doth acknowledge) and so brake the purpose of going to Rome: though much driven on by Puccius, &c. as will appear.
¶ p. 418. Doctor Dee's record of a strange thing, (a very miracle, in his judgement,) that hapned in his presence, and sight; to wit, Books that had been burned by him, (or in his sight) restored unto him whole and entire, by spirits, &c.
¶ CXXXV p. 419 Prince Rosimberg (you may see his Titles p. 425.) called, and admitted into the Society, to be partaker of the Mysteries; and the Executioner of (so supposed) Gods judgements, &c. ¶ Prince Rosimberg, upon relation of what had been revealed, concerning himself, accepts of it thankfully: promises amendment, and prayes for the Emperour, (whose Vice-Roy he was in Bohemia, &c.) that he may not be destroyed, but repent rather.
¶ p. 421. A Letter of his (with his own hand) to Doctor Dee, to the same purpose.
¶ Doctor Dee's Journey to Leipsig. ¶ His Letter to Sir Francis Walsingham, Secretary to Queen Elizabeth: wherein is observable his wonderfull confidence; and vain boasting, (though not without some grounds:) ss a very Enthusiast, and deluded man: though it cannot be denied, that some Enthusiasts, upon lesse grounds, (when God hath been pleased to give way) have had far better successe.
¶ p. 424. One Jul. Ascanius, his Letter to Doctor Dee, informing him of some reports, and attempts against him in Germany, as a Necromancer, &c.
¶ p. 425. A Letter of Doctor Dee's to Prince Rosimberg, complaining of those reports, and attempts, by the Nuncio, &c.
¶ 426. Another, to the Emperour, of the same subject.
¶ The sentence of Banishment against Doctor Dee, &c. in the German Tongue.
¶ p. 429. Prince Rosimberg his questions and petitions, miraculously (as was conceived) answered. A white paper being set upon the Altar, whilest Masse was said: the said paper after Masse, was found all written, and as soon as copied out, all the Letters of it vanished. A Copy of the said paper, or (miraculous) writting.
¶ ibid. Some observations of Doctor Dee's, upon Francis Puccius (of whom before) his carriage; whereby it did appear unto him, that the said Puccius did not deal truely and sincerely: which troubled Doctor Dee, who much desired to be rid of him.
¶ p. 430. A conflict of his, with the said Puccius, about their going to Rome, &c.
¶ p. 431. A Paper delivered by Puccius, to Doctor Dee, as from the Nuncio; by which they are absolved from all crimes, (were they never so great and hainous) so they will go to Rome. Puccius his inconstancy about that Paper. ¶ Doctor Dee's Letter to the said Nuncio, upon that occasion: wherein, among other things, to tell him of these Books that had been burned, and were (miraculously) restored; and of many more burned (part of these Records certainly) not yet restored, but promised and expected. ¶ The said Letter after some contest about it, committed to Puccius, to be carried and delivered. ¶ More of Puccius his not faithful dealing. Some Heresies also of his. Some other things, laid to his charge by Doctor Dee.
¶ p. 434. The Popes Nuncius, his answer to Doctor Dee: grave, and courteous. (At the beginning of it, aut, for autem to be corrected.)
¶ p. 435. A Paper, (here inscribed and stiled, Oraculum Divinum) in Kelly's absence, written and delivered (as Doctor Dee doth here record:) by spiritual and divine means: the drift whereof is, to confirm Prince Rosimberg, At whose request, the sentence of banishment is mitigated.
¶ p. 436. A long and submissive Letter of Francis Puccius, to Doctor Dee, &c. where, among other things, he gives him a very punctual account of what had passed, in discourse, between the Popes Nuncius, and himself, concerning their cause, apparitions, high attempts. &c. (well worth the reading.) His encounter with a Jesuit, before the said Nuncio. What account Prince Rosimberg, and some other great men, made of them.
¶ p. 444. Kelley, to Doctor Dee: Doctor Dee, to his Wife; but nothing considerable in either.
¶ CXXXVI p. 444. ¶ CXXXVII p. 445. Apparitions in the Stone, (after 6 moneths intermission) renewed, with expressions of great devotion, in Doctor Dee: but with many Woes and threatnings, by the spirits: who neverthelesse, Prince Rosimberg being present, promise fair to him, and give him some instructions, how to carry himself.
¶ Francis Puccius very troublesome; but at last quieted with the restitution (Doctor Dee, at this time, abounded with money, 2000 Ducats in one bag: Prince Rosimberg had a good purse:) of 800. Florens: which the said Puccius had formerly contributed for the service.
¶ CXXXVIII p. 448. Doctor Dee makes bold to propose some questions (tending to the secret of the Philosopher's Stone; as I take it:) out of season; but is rejected, and doth humbly submit.
