most merciful Saviour, deliver us from the
pains of eternal death. I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, write from henceforth, blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord; even so, saith the spirit, for they rest from their labors;
be ye also ready, and rest assured that a firm faith in the truths
here revealed will afford you consolation in the gloomy hour of
dissolution, and insure you ineffable and eternal happiness in the
world to come. Amen and amen."

Q. Where did your tour of penance end? A. It has not yet ended;
neither can it end until this mortal shall put on immortality; for all
men err, and all error need repentance.

Q. Were you then permitted to participate in the fifth libation? A. I
was.

Q. Where? A. Within the asylum.

Q. How gained you admittance there? A. After having passed my year of
penance, I returned to the door of the asylum, where, on giving the
alarm, the Warden appeared and demanded, "Who comes there?"

Q. Your answer? A. Pilgrim penitent, traveling from afar, who begs

Q. What was then demanded of you? A. What surety can he offer that he
is no impostor?

Q. Your answer? A. The commendation of two true and courteous Knights,

Q. What was then demanded of you? A. By what further right or benefit
I expected to gain admittance.

Q. Your answer? A. By the benefit of a pass-word.

Q. Did you give that pass-word? A. I did not; my conductor gave it for

Q. Give it? A. Golgotha. (It is given as before described.)

Q. What was then said to you? A. Wait with faith and humility, and
soon an answer shall be returned to your request.

Q. What was the answer of the Grand Commander? A. That I should be
admitted.

Q. What did the Grand Commander then demand? A. Who have you there in
