And by the four beasts before the throne, haveing Eyes before and behind, and by the ffire round about the throwne, and by the holly angells of heaven; and by the Mighty Wisdom of god, & by the seal of Baldachia, and by this name Primeumaton which Moses named and the Earth opened and swallowed up Chora, Dathan & Abiram, [I command] That you make true and faithfull answers, to all my demands, and to performe all my desiers, so farr as in office you are capaple [capable] to performe therefore come ye paecable [peaceably], vissible and affable now without delay, to manifest what I desier speaking with a perfect and clear voyce, Intelligible unto my understanding &c.

if [somehow] they do not come at the rehearsing of these 2 fforegoeing Conjurations (but without doubt they [normally] will) say one [on] as ffolloweth, it being a constraint.

[The Constraint]

I conjure the [thee] spirit N. by all the most glorious and Effacius [efficacious] names of the most great and Incomprehensible Lord god of Host [Hosts], that you comest quickly without delay ffrom all parts and places of the world: [wherever thou mayest be,] to make rationell answers to my demands and that visible and affably speakeing with a voice Intellegible to my understanding as aforesaid, I conjure and constrain you spirit N., by all aforesaid and by these seven names by w^ch wise Salomon bound thee and thy fellows in a vessel of Brass. Adonay, Prerai Tetragrammaton; Anephexeton [Anaphexeton], Inessenfatall, Pathatumon, & Itemon. That you appeare hear before this Circle, to fullfill my will in all things, that shall seeme good unto me and if you be disobedient and refuse to come I will in the power and by the power of the name of y^e supream and Everliving god, Who created both you and me and all the whole world in six days and what is contained in it Eye-Saray, and by the power [115r] of his name Primeumaton; which commandeth the whole hoste of heaven, curse you and deprive you, from all your office, Joy & place, and binde you in the debth [depth] of y^e Bottomless pit There to remaine unto the day of the last Judgement, and I will bind you into Eternall fire & into the lake of fire and Brimstone, unless you come forthwith and appeare heere before this Circle to doe my will in all things. Therefore com [thou!] in and by these holly names Adonay, Zebeoth [Zebaoth], Adonay, Amiorem; come yee, Adonay commandeth you.

If you come so farr, and he yet doth not appeare you may be sure he is sent to some other place by his king, and cannot come and if it be so Invocate the king as followeth to send him, But if he doth not come still, Then you may be sure he is bound in chains in hell: and he is not in the Custody of his king: So if you have a desier to call him ffrom thence, you must rehearse the spirits Chaine &c.

For to Invocate the Kinge say as ffolloweth -

O you great mighty and Powerfull kinge Amaymon,¹ who beareth rule by the power of thy supreame god El over all spirits both superior and Inferiour of the Infernal order in the Dominion of the Earth [*East],² I invocate and command you by the especial and truest name of your god and by god that you worship and obey, and by the seal of y^e Creation, & by the most mighty & powerfull name of god Jehovah Tetragrammaton, who cast you ought [out] of heaven with all other of the Infernall spirits and by all y^e most powerfull and great names of god who created heaven, Earth & hell, and all things contained in them, and by their power and vertue, & by y^e name Primeumaton who commandeth the whole host of heaven, that you cause, enforce and compell N. to come unto me hear before this Circle in a fair & comely forme, without doeing any harme to me or any other Creature, and to answere truely & faithfull to all my Requests, That I may accomplish my will and desiers, in knowing or obtaining any matter or thing w^ch by office you know is proper for him to performe or to accomplish, threw the power of god El who createth and disposeth of all things both celestiall, ayerall, Terrestiall and Infernall.

After you have Invocated the king in this manner twise or thrice over, then conjure y^e spirit you would have calld forth by the aforsaid conjurations rehearsing them severall times together, and he will come without doubt if not at y^e first or second time rehearsing. But if he doth not come, add the spirits Chaine to the end of y^e afforsaid Conjuration and he will be forced to come even if he be Bound in chains: for the chaines will break of [off] from him and he will be at liberty &c.

The generall Curse, called the spirits Chaine against all spirits that Rebell.

O thou wicked and disobedient spirit [N.]1, because thou hast rebelled and not obeyed nor regarded my words which I have rehearsed They being all most glorious and Incomprehensible names of y^e true god Maker and creator of you and me and all the world, I by the power of those names w^ch no creature is able to resist doe curse you into the debts [depths] of y^e Bottomless Pitt, There to remaine untill y^e day of doome in chaines of fire and Brimstone unquenchable, unless you dost forthwith appear before this circle in This Triangle To doe my will; Therefore com paceably [peaceably] and quietly [=quickly] in & by these names -- Adonai, Zebaoth, Adonay, Amioram [*Annora]²; come come why stay you, Adonay comandeth you.

[The Conjuration of the fire]

I condem thee thou spirit N. into fire everlasting, because thou art disobedient and obeyd not the command, nor kept the precepts of the lord thy god, neither wilt thou appeare to me nor obey me nor my invocations, haveing thereby called you forth, [I] who am the servant of y^e most high and Imperiall Lord, god of hosts Jehovah, and dignified and fortified by his Celestiall power and Permission, Neither comest thou to answer to these my Proposalls hear made unto you, for w^ch your adversiness and contempt you are gilty [guilty] of grand disobedience and Rebellion, and therefore I shall excommunicate you and destroy thy name and seal w^ch I have hear enclosed in this black Box, and shall burne thee in immortall fire and bury thee in Immortall oblivion, unless thou Immediately comest & appearest vissibly, affably, frendly, & curteously hear unto me before this Circle in this Triangle, in a faire and comly forme and in no wise terrible, hurtfull or frightfull to me or any other creatures whatever upon the face of the Earth and make rationel Answers to my requests and performe all my desiers in all things that I shall make unto you &c.

If he cometh not yet, say as followeth:

[The curse]

Now o thou spirit N. since thou art still pertinacius and disobedient and will not appeare unto me to answer to such things as I should have desiered of you or would have been satisfied in &c, I doe in the name and by the power and dignity of the omnipotent Immortall Lord god of host Jehovah Tetragrammaton, The only Creator of heaven Earth and hell and all that in them is who is the marvellious disposser of all things both vissible and Invissible Curse you and deprive you from all your offices Joy and place and do bind the [thee] in the debtts [depths] of y^e Bottomless Pitt, There to remaine untill the day of the last Judgement; I say into the lake of Fire & Brimstone which is prepared for all rebellious disobedient obstinate & pertinacious spirits, let all the [116r] Holy company of heaven curse thee, The , and starrs, the light and all y^e hoste of heaven Curse thee, I curse thee into the fire unquenchable, & torments unspeakable, and as thy name and seal is contained in this box, chained and bound up and shal be choacked in sulphurous & stincking substance and burnt in this material fire, so I in the name Jehovah, and by the power and dignity of these three names Tetragrammaton, Anaphexeton, & Primeumaton, cast thee, o thou disobediant spirit N. into that lake of fire which is prepared for thee damned and cursed spirits and there to remain untill the day of doome and never more to be remembered of before the face of god w^ch shall come to Judge the quick and the dead and the world by fire.

Here the Exorcist must put the box into the fire and by and by he will come. But asoone as he is come quickly quench the fire that the Box is in and make a sweet perfume and give him a kind entertainment shewing him the pentacle that is at y^e bottom of y^e vesture covered with linnen cloath, saying.

[The address unto the spirit upon his coming]

Behold your conclusion¹ if you be disobedient. Behold the Pentacle of Salomon which I have brought heare before thy presence: Behold the person of the Exorcist who is called Octinomos, in the midst of the Exorcisme, who is armed by god & without fear, who potently invocateth you and called you to appeare, Therefore make rationall answers to my demands and be obedient to me your master in the name of y^e Lord Bathat² rushing upon Abrac Abeor coming upon Aberer.³

Then they or he will be obedient and bid you ask what you will for they are subjected by god to fullfill your desiers and demands, and when they or he are appeared and shewed themselves humble and meek, Then you are to say:

[The welcome unto the spirit]
