This Book was by _Breman_ communicated to the _Brammanes_ to be published to the People, who did give absolute obedience to these injunctions; but in time, fraud, violence and all manner of wickedness being committed, God grew angry, and acquainted _Breman_ that he would destroy the world: who acquainted the People herewith, but to little purpose, for soon after they fell to their wickedness, and God took _Breman_ up into his bosome who had interceeded for man-kind; then also _Vistney_ (whose nature and Office it was to preserve the People) did interceed, but God would not be pacifyed, but gave charge to _Ruddery_ (whose Office it was to destroy) to cause the bowels of the earth to send out a wind to sweep the Nations as the dust from the face of the earth: this command was accordingly executed, and all people were destroyed saving a few that God permitted _Vistney_ to cover with the skirts of his preservation, reserved to propagate mankind in the third age, and so this Age concluded. The wickedness and ill government of the Kings and Rulers, being the chief cause of destroying the last age: therefore all those of _Cutteries_ Tribe were all destroyed. Now because it was necessary that there should be some of that Cast as well as others, wherefore God raised that Tribe again out of the Cast of the _Bramanes_: the name of him who renewed and raised this Tribe was called _Ram_, who was a good King and lived piously; but his successors did not so, but committed so much wickedness that God again destroyed the world, by the opening of the earth, which swallowed up all mankind, but a few of the four Tribes who were left to new-people the world again, and this was the conclusion of the third Age. At the beginning of the fourth Age, there was one _Kistney_, a famous Ruler, and pious King, who wonderfully promoted Religion. _Vistney_ was now taken up into Heaven, there being no further need of his preservation; for when this Age is concluded, there shall be a full end of all things. The _Brammanes_ suppose this Age shall be longer then any of the rest, in the end whereof _Ruddery_ shall be taken up into Heaven: these four ages they call by these four names, _Curtain_, _Duauper_, _Tetrajoo_ and _Kotee_; they hold the manner of these last judgements shall be by fire, when all shall be destroyed; and so the four Ages of the world shall be destroyed by the four Elements. And then shall _Ruddery_ carry up the souls of all people to Heaven with him, to rest in Gods bosome, but the bodyes shall all perish: so that they believe not the resurrection; for they say Heaven being a place that is pure, they hold it cannot be capable of such gross substances.
