Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wickedness increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly: wherefore shall it not be so now also?

He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end where much glory doth abide; therefore have they prayed for the weak.

But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the beginning of the immortality for to come, wherein corruption is past,

For what profit is it for men now in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment?

O thou Adam, what hast thou done? for though it was thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we all that come of thee.

For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death?

And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly?

And that there should be shewed a paradise, whose fruit endureth for ever, wherein is security and medicine, since we shall not enter into it?

And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give where it needeth;

And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth more and more mercies to them that are present, and that are past, and also to them which are to come.

For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world would not continue with them that inherit therein.

And he pardoneth; for if he did not so of his goodness, that they which have committed iniquities might be eased of them, the ten thousandth part of men should not remain living.

And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few.

For thou hast agreed to give ear, and art willing to prophesy: for thou hast no longer space than only to live.

For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thine hands, like as thou hast said.

For when the body is fashioned now in the mother’s womb, and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months doth thy workmanship endure thy creature which is created in her.

For thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body, that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the fruit of the breasts,

That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy.

Now therefore, Lord, I will speak; touching man in general, thou knowest best; but touching thy people, for whose sake I am sorry;

And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn; and for Israel, for whom I am heavy; and for Jacob, for whose sake I am troubled;

And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn; and for Israel, for whom I am heavy; and for Jacob, for whose sake I am troubled;

Therefore will I begin to pray before thee for myself and for them: for I see the falls of us that dwell in the land.

For we and our fathers do languish of such diseases: but because of us sinners thou shalt be called merciful.

For if thou hast a desire to have mercy upon us, thou shalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no works of righteousness.

For the just, which have many good works laid up with thee, shall out of their own deeds receive reward.

For what is man, that thou shouldest take displeasure at him? or what is a corruptible generation, that thou shouldest be so bitter toward it?

For in truth them is no man among them that be born, but he hath dealt wickedly; and among the faithful there is none which hath not done amiss.

For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take root: even so is it of them that are sown in the world; they shall not all be saved.

Even so perisheth man also, which is formed with thy hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art like unto him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, and likened him unto the husbandman’s seed.

Be not wroth with us but spare thy people, and have mercy upon thine own inheritance: for thou art merciful unto thy creature.

Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to cometh for such as be to come.

Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to cometh for such as be to come.

For thou comest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I: but I have ofttimes drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous.

For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.

But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.

But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.

For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.

For when they had taken liberty, they despised the most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways.

For as the things aforesaid shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to nought:

But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them.

For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest:

Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.

Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.

For such as in their life have received benefits, and have not known me;

And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall be punished, and when: but enquire how the righteous shall be saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created.

And he answered me, saying, Like as the field is, so is also the seed; as the flowers be, such are the colours also; such as the workman is, such also is the work; and as the husbandman is himself, so is his husbandry also: for it was the time of the world.

And now when I prepared the world, which was not yet made, even for them to dwell in that now live, no man spake against me.

For then every one obeyed: but now the manners of them which are created in this world that is made are corrupted by a perpetual seed, and by a law which is unsearchable rid themselves.

Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain; and let my grape be kept, and my plant; for with great labour have I made it perfect.

For, behold, I sow my law in you, and it shall bring fruit in you, and ye shall be honoured in it for ever.

For, behold, I sow my law in you, and it shall bring fruit in you, and ye shall be honoured in it for ever.

But our fathers, which received the law, kept it not, and observed not thy ordinances: and though the fruit of thy law did not perish, neither could it, for it was thine;

For we that have received the law perish by sin, and our heart also which received it

And she said unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my mind, and brought very low.

And now, seeing we all mourn and are sad, for we are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son?

For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she which ought to mourn for the fall of so many that grow upon her.

For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she which ought to mourn for the fall of so many that grow upon her.

For out of her came all at the first, and out of her shall all others come, and, behold, they walk almost all into destruction, and a multitude of them is utterly rooted out.

For if thou shalt acknowledge the determination of God to be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and shalt be commended among women.

Do not so, but be counselled by me: for how many are the adversities of Sion? be comforted in regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem.

For thou seest that our sanctuary is laid waste, our altar broken down, our temple destroyed;

And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Sion hath now lost her honour; for she is delivered into the hands of them that hate us.

Where is Uriel the angel, who came unto me at the first? for he hath caused me to fall into many trances, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke.

For I have seen that I knew not, and hear that I do not know.

He answered me then, and said, Hear me, and I shall inform thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid: for the Highest will reveal many secret things unto thee.

He hath seen that thy way is right: for that thou sorrowest continually for thy people, and makest great lamentation for Sion.

And, behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto thee.

For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:

For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:

For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.
