By this Rule Salomon obtained great wisdom
from ye cheefe Angells that governe ye four Altitudes
of ye world for you must observe there be four Altitudes, representing
ye four corners of ye world, East, West, North and
South. Ye which are divided into twelve parts, that is, every
part or Altitude into three, and ye Angells of every of these
altitudes have their particulars vertues & powers, as shall be shewed
in this following matter &c c c.
Make ye Almadel of pure white wax,
but colloured sutable to ye altitude; it is to be four Squares,
and six Inches every way; & in every corner a hole & write betwixt
every hole with a new pen, These words or names of god, following, but
this is to be done in ye daye & houre of Sol. Write
upon ye first part towards ye East, Adonaij, Helomi,
Pine, & upon ye second towards ye South, Helion,
Heloi, Heli, & upon ye West part: Jod, Hod, Agla: &
upon ye fourth part which is ye North write these
names: Tetragrammaton, Shadai, Jah, & betwixt ye first
& ye other quarters make ye Pentacle of Salomon
thus
, & betwixt ye first & other quarters write this word,
Anabona and in ye midle of ye Almadel make a Six
Angled figure and in ye middest of it a Triangle wherin must
be written these names of god, Hell, Helion, Adonaij, & this last name
round in ye six Angled figure, as you may see in this figure,
here made it being for an example &c.
And of ye same wax there must be
made four Candles, & they must be of ye same collour as
ye Almadel is of. you must divide ye wax into three
parts, one part for to make ye Almadel of, & ye
other two parts for to make ye candles of, & let there come
forth from every one of them a foot made of ye same wax, for
to suporte ye Almadel with; This being done: in ye
next place you are to make a seal of pure gold or silver, but Gold is best
wherein must be engraven these three names: Helion, Hellujon, Adonai; &c
c.
Nota. Ye first Altitude is called
Chora Orientis or ye East Altitude & to make an experiment
in this Chora, it is to be done in ye daye & houre of ye
Sun: & ye power & office of those Angells is to make
all things fruitfull & encrease, both Animals & vegetables, in
creation & generation; advancing ye Birth of ye
children & makeing barren women fruitfull, &c. Their names are
those. vizt, Alimiel, Gabriel, Borachiel, Lebes & Hellison;
Note: you must not pray for any Angells but
those that belong to ye same Altitude, you have a desier to
call forth. & when you operate, set ye four candles upon
four candle sticks, but be carefull you doe not light them before you begin
to operate, then lay ye Almadel between ye four candles
upon ye waxen feet that cometh from ye candles &
lay ye golden seal upon ye Almadel, & haveing
ye Invocation redy written on virginis Parchment: Light ye
Candles & read ye Invocation as is set down at ye
latter end of this part &c c.
And when he appeareth, he appeareth in ye
form of an Angell carrying in his hand a fan or flagg, having ye
picture of a white cross upon it, his body is wrapped round about with
a fair cloud, & his face very fair & bright, & a Crown of Rose
flowers [is] upon his head: he descends first upon ye superscription
of ye Almadel as if it were a Mist or Fogg. Then must
ye Exorcist have in readyness a vessell of Earth of ye
same collour of ye Almadel is of, & ye other
of his furniture, it being in ye form of a Basin, & put
therein a few hot ashes or coales but not too much lest it should melt
ye wax of ye Almadel, & put therein three little
grains of Masticke in powder, so that it fumeth and ye smell
may goe upwards threw ye holes of ye Almadel when
it is under it, & as soon as ye angell smells it he beginneth
to speake with a low voice asking what your desier is and why you have
called ye princes & governers of his Altitude. then you
must Answer him, saying,
I desire that all
my requests may be granted, & what I pray for may be ccomplished, for
your office maketh appeare & declareth that such is to be fullfild
by you if it pleases god, &c,
adding further ye particulars of
your Requests praying with sincerity [and] ^humility for what is lawfull
and Just & that you shall indeed obtain from him:
But if he doth not appear presently, you must
then take ye golden seal, & make with it three or four marks
upon ye candles, by which means ye angell will presently
appeare as aforesaide: and when ye Angell departeth he will
fill ye whole place with a sweet & pleasant smell which
will be smelt a long time.
Nota. Ye golden seal will serve
& is to be used in ye operation of all ye Altitudes.
Ye Collour of ye Almadel belonging to ye
first Chora is lilly white. To ye second Chora a Perfect red
Rose Collour; Ye third Chora is to be a green mixt with white
silver collour. Ye Fourth Chora is to be a black mixt
with a little green of a sadd collour &c c c c c.
Of ye second Chora or Altitude:
Nota. all ye other three Altitudes
with their signes & princes have power over goods [146v] & riches,
and can make any man Rich or poor, & as ye first Chora giveth
Encrease & maketh fruitfull, so these giveth decrease & Barrenness,
&c c c c c.
And if any have a desire to operate in any
of ye other three Choras or Altitudes, they must doe it on Sundays
in ye manner as above is shewed; But doe not pray for anything
that is contrary to ye nature of their office, or against god
and his laws, but what God giveth according to ye course of
nature, that you may desier & obtaine, & all ye furniture
that is to be used is to be of ye same collour as ye
Almadel is of, & ye princes of this second Chora are named
as Followeth Vizt: Alphariza, Genon, Geror, Armon, Gereinon [Gereinin]
&c.
and when you operate kneel before ye
Almadel with cloathes of ye same collour in a closet hung with
ye same collours allso, for ye holy apparation will
be of ye same collour: & when he is appeared, put ye
earthen Basin under ye Almadel with fire & hott ashes &
three graines of Mastic in poweder to fume as above written, & when
ye Angell smelleth ye perfume, he turneth his face
towards you, asking ye Exorcist with a low voyace why he called
ye princes of this Chora or Altitude, then you must answer as
before; saying: I desire that my Request may be granted, & ye
contents thereof may be accomplished, for your offices maketh appear &
declareth that such is to be done by you if it pleases god, &c: you
must not be fearfull but speak humbly saying &c: I recomend my selfe
wholy into your office, & I pray unto your princes of this Altitude
that I may enjoy my wishes & desiers, &c: you may further express
your mind in all particulars in your prayer &c. doe ye like
in ye two other Choras that follow &.c.
Ye Angell of this second Altitude
appears in ye form of a young childe with clothes of sattin
& of a Red Rose collour, haveing a crown of Red gilly flowers upon
his head, his face looking upwards to heaven, & is of a Red Collour
& is compassed round about with a Bright splendour, as ye
Beams of ye Sunn; and before he departeth he speaks to ye
Exorcist, saying I am your friend & brother, & Illuminateth ye
ayre round above with splendour, and pleasant smell, which lasteth a long
time, &c c c c c.
of ye third Chora or Altitude
In this Chora you are to doe in all things
as you are before directed in ye other Two. Ye
Angells of this Altitude are named as foll: vizt Eliphamasai, Gelomiros,
Gedobonai, Saranana, & Elomnia; They appeare in ye form
of children or little women drest in green & silver collours, very
delightfull to behold, & a crown of Bay leaves, beset with Flowers
of white & green collours upon their heads & they seeme to look
a little downwards with their faces, &c. They speak as ye
others doe to ye Exorcist & leave a mighty, sweet perfume
behind them, &c c c c c c.
Of ye fourth Chora or Altitude
In this Chora you must doe as in ye
other, and ye Angells of this Chora are called Barchiel, Gediel,
Gabiel, Deliel, & Captiel. &c. These appeare in ye forme
of little men or Boys with cloathes of a Black collour, mixt with a darke
green & in their hands they hold a Bird which is naked & their
heads are Beare, only it is compassed round & [147r] Besett with Ivy
Berries. They are all very beautifull & comely & are compassed
round with a Bright shineing of diveres col;ours. They leave a sweet smell
behinde them allso; but differeth from ye others something &c
c c c c.
Nota: There are twlelve princes rulling
besides those in ye four Altitudes, & they distribute their
offices amongst themselves, every one rulling thirty dayes every yeare,
now it will be in vain to call any of those Angells unless it be those
that then governeth, For every Chora or Altitude, hath its limited time
according to ye twelve signs of ye Zodiack &
in that signe ye Sunn is in. That Angell or those angells
that belong to that signe have ye government: as for Example;
suppose I would call ye two first of those five that belong
to ye first Chora, Then chuse ye first Sunday on
March: that is after ye Sun is entred [Aries], & then I
make my Experiment; & so doe ye like if you will ye
next Sunday after againe; But if you will call ye two second
that belong to ye first Chora, Then you must take ye
Sundays that are in Aprill, after ye [Sun] is entered [Taurus].
But if you call ye last of ye 5th, Then you must
take those Sundays that are in May after ye [Sun] is entered
[Gemini}; to make your Experiment in; doe ye like in ye
other Altitudes, for they have all one way of working: But ye
Altitudes have a Name formed severally in ye substance of heaven
even as a Character, for when ye Angells hear ye
names of god that are attributed to them they hear it by ye
vertue of that carecter. Therefore it is in vain to call any angell or
spirit unless you knew what names of god to call them by; Therefore observe
ye forme of this Following conjuration, or Invocation &c
c c c c.
Ye Invocation
