7. SINCE the Things seen by the Seers are real Entities, the Presages
and Predictions found true, but a few endued with this Sight, and
those not of bad Lyves, or addicted to Malifices, the true Solution
of the Phænomenon seems rather to be, the courteous Endeavours of
our fellow Creatures in the Invisible World to convince us, (in
Opposition to Sadduce’s, Socinians, and Atheists,) of a Deity; of
Spirits; of a possible and harmless Method of Correspondence betwixt
Men and them, even in this Lyfe; of their Operation for our Caution
and Warning; of the Orders and Degrees of Angells, whereof one
Order, with Bodies of Air condensed and curiously shap’t, may be
nixt to Man, superior to him in Understanding, yet unconfirmed; and
of their Region, Habitation, and Influences on Man, greater than
that of Starrs on inanimat Bodies; a Knowledge (be-like) reserved
for these last atheistick Ages, wherein the Profanity of Mens Lives
hath debauched and blinded their Understanding, as to MOSES, JESUS,
and the Prophets, (unless they get Convictions from Things formerly
known,) as from the Regions of the Dead: nor doth the ceasing of
the Visions, upon the Seers Transmigration into forrein Kingdoms,
make his Lordship’s Conjecture of the Quality of the Air and Eye a
white the more probable; but, on the Contrary, it confirms greatly
my Account of ane Invisible People, guardian over and care-full of
Men, who have their different Offices and Abilities in distinct
Counterey’s, as appears in Dan. 10. 13. viz. about Israels, Grecia’s,
and Persia’s assistant Princes, whereof who so prevaileth giveth
Dominion and Ascendant to his Pupills and Vassalls over the opposite
Armies and Countreys; so that every Countrey and Kingdom having
their topical Spirits, or Powers assisting and governing them,
the SCOTTISH SEER banished to America, being a Stranger there, as
well to the invisible as to the visible Inhabitants, and wanting
a Fimiliarity of his former Correspondents, he could not have the
Favour and Warnings, by the severall Visions and Predictions which
were wont to be granted him by these Acquantances and Fayourites in
his own Countrey. For if what he wont to sie were Realities, (as I
have made appear,) ’twere too great ane Honour for Scotland to have
such seldom-seen Watchers and predominant Powers over it alone,
acting in it so expressly, and all other Nations wholly destitute of
the lyke; tho, without all peradventure, all other People wanted the
right Key of their Cabinet, and the exact Method of Correspondence
with them, except the sagacious active Scots, as many of them have
retained it of a long Time, and by Surpryses and Raptures do often
foirtell what in Kyndness is really represented to them at severall
Occasions. To which Purpose the learned lynx-ey’d Mr. Baxter, on Rev.
12. 7. writting of the Fight betwixt Michaell and the Dragon, gives a
verie pertinent Note, viz. That he knows not but ere any great Action
