At last a Messenger came out, who returned the
Emperess thanks for her kind profer, but desired withal
to know from whence she came, and how, and in
what manner her assistance could be serviceable to
them? The Emperess answered, That she was not
bound to tell them whence she came; but as for the manner
of her assistance, I will appear, said she, to your
Navy in a splendorous Light, surrounded with
Fire. The Messenger asked at what time they should
expect her coming? I'le be with you, answered the
Emperess, about one of the Clock at night. With
this report the Messenger returned; which made both
the poor Counsellers and Sea-men much afraid; but
yet they longed for the time to behold this strange
sight.

| And if any should like the world I have made,
and be willing to be my subjects, they may imagine themselves such, and they are such—I mean
in their minds, fancies or imaginations. But if they cannot endure to be subjects, they may
create worlds of their own and govern themselves as they please.
