[12] _Hermes Trismegistus_ was published in Everard"s lifetime. Large extracts from his ma.n.u.script translations are given in the _Gospel Treasures Opened_ (1653). _The Vision of G.o.d_ was edited and published in full by Giles Randall in 1646, and it is very probable that Everard and Randall did this work together.

[52] It is not possible to tell whether the sermons of John Everard were generally known to the early Quakers or not. He held similar views to theirs on many points, and he reiterates, with as much vigour as does Fox, the inadequacy of University learning as a preparation for spiritual ministry. One Quaker at least of the early time read Everard and appreciated him. That was John Bellers. In his "Epistle to the Quarterly Meeting of London and Middles.e.x," written in 1718, Bellers quotes "the substance of an excellent Discourse of a poor man in Germany, above 300 years ago, then writ by John Taulerus, and since printed in John Everard"s Works, who was a religious dissenter in King James the First"s time." He thereupon gives the "Dialogue between a Learned Divine and a Beggar" (which Everard ascribed to Tauler) to add force to his own presentation of "the duty of propagating piety, charity, and industry among men."
