At
length it pleased God to send me His light--the angel Uriel, whereby I
was assured of His merciful and gracious answer. For the space of two
years and a half, as I told his Majesty, angels had not ceased to
minister unto me through this wonderful stone, whose history I related.
Furthermore, I said that I had a message from them unto his, Majesty.
'The angel of the Lord hath appeared unto me,' I cried, 'and hath
rebuked you for your sins; if you will hear, and believe me, you shall
triumph; if you will not hear, the Lord, the God of heaven and earth,
under whom you breathe and have your being, putteth His foot against
your breast, and will throw you headlong from your seat.' Moreover, I
said that if he would listen to me, and take me for his counsellor, his
kingdom should be established, so that there would be none like unto it
throughout the world. I was commanded, likewise, to show him the nature
of the holy vision, and the manner thereof, which he might witness, and
hear the words, though he could not see the fashion of the creatures in
the glass. He thanked me, and said that he would thenceforward take me
to his recommendation and care.
