The Prologue.

Heare begiñeth the prologue of y^e Booke of Clauicles of Salomon contayninge the secrets of all secrets of all crafts magicall of Nigromancy, the w^ch booke of craftes as, Ptolomeus the most wisest philosopher in greece, doth testify, Remember my Sonne Roboam more dearer to me then Isaack, for I had all my Scyence of y^e creator of all creatures. Roboam sayd what haue I deserued, why should I in any case be likned to my father. Salomon, sayd, I haue reuelation by an Angell of God, it chanced one night, in my sleepe I named the holy name of god Isaack¹ and I desired to haue the ineffable wisdome of god, for y^e Angell Raziell² appeared to me, in my sleepe, shewinge this eñarration gently, Salomon. shoot (?) or tye the secretts of secrets, for it shall be time y^t all wisdome shall be destroyed and shalbe hydde and shall come to nothing, and ye shall know that time is nye.

I awaked from my sleepe and rose up as a man being dronke and fearefull from his dreames and I remembered what should be done in this busines, & consideringe y^t all science should, be lest in one day, I did gather before me all the sciences of wise men and all the craftes of y^e prophets passed y^t I could get, that were concerninge this time and y^e time to come, and I found many confusions & albeit, the artes mathematicall were by y^e power of god yet there was noe arte perfect, and I saw it openly, but by the reuelation of y^e Angell,

I made [3v] a certaine secret worke and most secrets where I have hidde refined and locked up the secret of secrets, of all magicall craftes w^thout y^e which any secret of this Science is not complete and therfore I haue reformed and kept, least this secret should come, at any season into the hands of fooles, take therfore an example my sonne Roboam, haue therfore one craft prepared or els some experiment of thine owne or else if all preparam^ts be in them of other mens soe that y^e dayes and y^e howres be well ordinated of th~ and doubtles the worke w^thout this booke is Deceitfull, for in it lyeth hidde all secrets, w^thout y^e w^ch nothinge can be done, and as I say of our craft, soe I say of all experiments and arts y^t be in y^e world, and that shalbe to come, and to this my worke I haue not put the clauicle secrets;

therfore my soñe Roboam, I command thee by my Blessinge that thou thinkest to haue of me thy Father, to cause a caskett of Iuery [Ivory] to be made, and therin to put this my clauicle, and keepe it sure, and when I shall departe, let them be cast alltogether into my sepulcher that they may not come into the handlinge of fooles, and as he commanded it was done,

and when his sepulchere had stoode a long time, certeine philosophers of Babilon that were his fellowes his scholers and of his counsell, renew his sepulchere to make him new againe, [4r] for the honour of soe wise a man to make him more goodlier, and that his rememberance should spread abroad, all y^e world, therefore when his tombe was Broken uppe to be renewed againe, they found there his casket of Iuery wherein was the clauicle of secrets, and the philosophers when they had this clauicle, they could not understand it, for obscurity of wordes and exhibition of science; for they were not worthy of soe great science;

amongst them was one a very wise philosopher, a grecian names Ptolomeus, he went into his chamber, and began to weepe bitterly strikinge his handes upon his brest sayinge, what haue I deserued that I cannot understand nor expound the science of my Father and my lord, Salomon would keepe noe secret from me, therefore why be these wordes soe obscure, wherefore is this, why should it be, that I should not know it: he kneeled down and held up his handes towards heauen and with a prosterate body prayed unto god: sayinge these wordes followinge;

ô high creator of all creatures and lord that knowest all things, that gauest to Salomon the sonne of King Dauid all science for thy most holyest and incomprehensible clemency, Father omnipotent, graunt me reuelation for thy mercy and pitty, that I howbeit unworthy and most wretched siñer may haue intellection and knowledge of y^e secrets confused and obscured ineffably in this Clauicle,

and incontinently (?) an Angell appeared unto him sayinge ô thou greatian Ptolomeus, doe not marueill that the secrets [4v] of Salomon be obscure and Darke to thee; because our Lord would not that soe great a science should come into the handes of fooles; therefore promise me that ye will shew it noe creature liuinge, exept he be sufficient in science and operation, and y^e fyerfull Angell sayd unto him, looke and reade the clauicle, the words that were obscure unto you, be made open in all thinges; and the Angell ascended by the cloude of fyre into heauen, from whence he came forth, then Ptolomeus the greacian knew it was the Angell of our lord, and he reioysed with much gladnes, and read salomons workes transmuted, and he praysed our lord that his worke should not come in to the hands or handlinge of fooles, and he sayed,

I coniure him, that shall haue these secrets, by the bloud of y^e Body and by the Body of Christ and by the heart of his Body, and by all thinges that he desireth and purposeth to doe in this world; to deliuer it and open it to noe man, and if he open it, let them be wise. I pray god that y^t he desireth may neuer come to passe and effect; and as Ptolomeus the grecian coaduanced by the grace of god hath made cleare the profound and obscure secrets of this arte, as he was that y^t foloweth, that were closed in the cheast of Iuory, and these be the words of y^e said Clauicle that he declared marueilously in these two Bookes followinge.

[Chap. 1. Of y^e howres and poynts nessesary in experiments and artes mathematicall and magicall]

Here begiñeth the first Booke of the secrets of the Clauicle as the most wisest greacian Ptolomeus, doth testify, which dayes, howres, and poyntes nessesary and experiments magicall. The begiñinge of our clauicle, is to feare god, and to honour him with contrition of heart, and with great deuotion, to worship him, and call upon him, in all thunges that we will doe and worke, and soe god will gouerne us in the Right path, if ye will finde any thinge of the foresaid sciences, first ye must ordaine a sure order of dayes, of y^e changinge of the moone, and of howres, and soe ye may come to your purpose, of y^e howres how many be in the day and night .24. and in euery howre one of y^e 7 planets ruleth and reigneth. and it begiñeth with Saturn is the highest of y^e planets, and under him is . under him is . under him is the . under the soñe reigneth . under venus . under him is the . that is the lowest of all the planets, ye must keepe the order of the planets one this mañer; first that is first, in order he reigneth and ruleth first, in the first, howre, one saterday betweene the grispinge of the day, or the morninge and the rising of y^e sonne; in the 2d houre in the 3^d . in the 4^th the . in the 5^th in 6^th . in the 7^th the in the 8^th . in the 9^th in the 10^th . in the 11^th the . in the 12^th . in the 13^th . and in y^e 14^th the . and soe fourth of euery howre, betweene the day and y^e night [6r] untill 28 howres, and afterwarde reyneth in the first, howre of y^e same day of , then in y^e 2d day of reigneth and soe of euery one of the howres, betweene the day and the night; untill 28 howres of the same day of then ruleth in the first howre of the same day; reigneth the . in the 2^d in the first howre of y^e monday reigneth the . in the 2^d , and soe forth of eche one of them. the course and the order of y^e planets expleted, obserued and kept and knowne: whensoeuer ye will doe or prepare any craft or experiment, it is necessary that ye doe after that course in howres, poyn?? and obseruinge of y^e moone beneath written; what the howre of and of the be best to make arts magicall and Nigromanticall, and to speake with spirits and to find theft; but it were better to doe this aforesaid in the dayes and howres appropriated to them and they reigninge, and likewise in the first howres of that dayes but yet, in whatsoeuer day the foresayd howres doe appeare, whether by day or by night, it is best to doe & prepare the foresaid crafts as it shall be contayned in these chapters aforesaid, and if ye forgett to doe these thinges beforesayd, ye can neuer attayne to the perfection of your arte, the howres of the sonne, of and of and that of the same day whatsoeuer day they doe appeare in .. [sic] best to prepare and to proue all experiments of grace loue and impetracion, and of inuisibilitie as it is contayned in there chapters, soe that be added aboue all preparaments that is contayned of such a matter in our worked contayned in there chapters, and if [6v] it should be otherwise, it should neuer haue strength nor vertue, the howres of and of and there dayes in whatsoeuer howre they appeare, be best to make experiments of hatred, and wronge, and adde the begiñinge of that, that is contagned of this matter in his proper chapter heare followinge, and soe it should haue effect; the howre of and his day in whatsoeuer day he appeareth betweene day and night is good to prepare all experiments of deceite or mockes that is seene to be of impossibility, addinge first the preparaments of this our worke, the howres of the sonne, of and of and there dayes in whatsoeuer day they appeare, be good to prepare all experiments extraordinary, that be not perfect of euery kind, addinge first the preparatments of our worke; likewise the Rubrice of y^e howres, if ye thinke it greeuious to finde the howres and such other, consider the moone from the prime t~ ix and aplye her soe, that she be in some of the foresaid dayes in his first howre, betweene the first re?? of y^e morninge and the risinge of the same; if the howre be looked for, the art magicall or for theft let the moone be upon that day ordayned in a sine of the earth or of y^e ayre, if for loue, or for invisibility let it be ordayned upon that day in the signe of fyer, likewise the rubrice of the howres, also if ye think it painefull to doe, behold well the moone for her p? unto the begiñinge of her declinacion, and in one of the dayes, let the sonne be in equall number, that is to say that the moone be in the signe the sonne is in; then ye may doe or write, or prepare all experiments that ye will [7r] make, signifyinge fyer in a certaine chapter of our worke, and then in the foresayd dayes howres and points and lunacions ye must make the foresaid artes or sciences, soe that ye keepe an order first, of this our worke.

[Chap. 2] Of arts magicall or nigromancicall or of some spirits how they should be ordered.

If ye will doe or prepare any arte magicall or nigromancicall or any experiment for some spirits, haue the craft or experiments before rehearsed, and ordinated with the dayes and howres and all thinges nessesary, and see that nothinge lacke, or els it shall be, the spirits will not appeare, then for the wordes of that arte, then rise uppe and take the sword that ye made the circle withall and make with the same sworde, after the mañer of a crosse in the ayre as though ye smitt the ayer, and put your right hand with the foresayd sword upon canderias or pentacles beinge upon thy breast, and say with a lowe voyce, the oration followinge, with the exorsyzation, before ye say the oration, suffumigate your self and your fellowes in the circle, all with the fumigations as it followeth, and sprincle your self, youyr fellowes and the place, with water and such Isope [=hyssop] as it is said after: after that, let the coniurer sit downe in his place and comfort his fellowes, and after that let him say the oration and the coniuration, and note this, that when ye haue said the oration, the diuills [=devils] will feare, and by y^e vertue of y^e pentacles, will come to doe your will, that noe spirit can be of power and preuayle against you, and consider that the pentacles haue not this vertue onely, but they haue innumerable vertues as it followeth heareafter, in the first how pentacles should be made;

The Rubrice of exorsization.

When the oration and confess, and the other oration is finished, let the coniurer rise uppe and put both his handes after the manner of a crosse upon the pentacles and let one of his fellowes euer hold a booke before him open wherein the coniurations be and exorsismes, and let him looke still into the ayre after the manner of a crosse, from the 4. partes of y^e world and let him say,

Domine deus meus esto mihi turris fortitudinis a facie inimici, et faciem omnium spiritum que malignorum.

Then let him incline himselfe towards the east and to y^e South, and to y^e West, and to the north and toward euery parte let him say these words,

ecce signa et nomina triumphatoris et redemptoris per que vos quotidie exparistits [*expavescitis] et timatis obedite ergo per hec secetissima secretorum.

And incontinently by these wordes let him beginne to call them, as it is playne in that craft that ye goe about, and when this is said and donne he shall see them cominge, one euery side, and if they haue impediment one any part, and then cannot or will not come, ye shall begin with such a coniuration as followeth and note, they that be bound with chaynes of Iron if they cannot come to thee, they will send certaine messengers, and handle them as well as you can.

When this is done ye shall see the spirits cum and the diuells like unto emperours entringe into the Citye first te trumpeters shall come et patores 2dly like soldiers or domicelli, 3dly and lastly there king cometh and before him all kind of Instruments and of vices and dulcyflions orgaynes and harmony of sweet melody, then the coniurer, he seinge them shall shew him the pentacle that be upon the brest of the coniurer couered with a cloth of gold, when he hath seene the pentacle the prince and ruler of them incontinently followeth down upon [22v] his knees before the coniurer, and will say, Sr. what will ye, for what did ye cause me to come? Then the coniurer somewhat disdayning, shall command all thinges to be pacified and silence to be had, and then he shall renew fumigations and cause a goodly smellinge sauoure to be made and when silence is made, he shall uncouer the pentacles, hearinge great miracles of diuers thinges in the world, of prophesie and of all science, then the coniurer shall uncouer the pentacles, and shall ask of y^e prince what he will and by and by, he shall graunt it, whether one spirit alone, or els whether 2 be called forth, they will doe the same, the Coniurer shall say by and by,

[License to depart]

Let euery one of you turne into his place peaceably, and peace be between us and you.

And then let him say St. John's Gospell In principio erat &c, credo in deum. And let them goe out of the circle, one after another, and wash there faces of the exorcised water, as it is sayd after and let them goe an other way and doe there deedes or operations.

And knowe this, that this coniuration only and they were bound in Chaynes of Iron or of wood, they cannot tarry, but come foorth if they be Coniured and held by some meanes thay they cannot come, adde in Coniuratione that they send incontinently there pursenaunts [23r] and messengers to you shewinge you what they will doe, if they be any thinge rebellinge or studdorne against the coniuror, and will not come let there names be written in paper and let the paper vitempertur of clay and dust. Let new fyer be made, and put in fyre of brimstone and of euill and horrible sights making a stinging sauour holding the paper ouer fyer sayinge

Coniuro te ignis per illum qui Contremestere facit orbem quod istos spiritus Comburas et cale facias ut in suis per sonis Consentrent ineternam.

Then cast it in the fyer and say,

Maledicti blasphemati sitis perpetualiter et eternaliter et Nulla requies suit in vobis hora aliqua nec de diem nec de nocte nisi statim veneritis obedientes verbis que dicuntur de illo qui contre mescere (?) facit orbem, et per hec nomina et in nomine istorum nominam quibus omnibus creatura contremit humiliter obedit et per timorem et panorem eorum omnis creatura contremit et in eis fulgura et tonitria [? cp earlier tonitrua] sunt parata que vos et vestros subditos destruent que sunt hec, Arctenoton, Ioasat, Paty, Semephoras, Allia [with a tilde over the whole word], Aleph, beth, gymel, daleth, he, Vau, Zay, [Cheth,] Teth, Ioth, Caphe, Lameth, Memy, Nujy, Sameth, Ayn, Phe, Sade, Ceph, Res, Syn, Tau, per ista nomina vos maledicimus et ab omnium officio et dignitate vestra vos prinamus et per eorum virtutem in stagium ignis et sulphuris et usque ad profundum abbissi religamus eternali concremandos

Then without any tarryinge they will come one euery side, sayinge, Sr. command us what ye will and deliuer [23v] us out of the payne. Then in that howre write there names againe, and make to them a sweet smellinge sauour, and shew them the pentacles and aske what ye will, and when ye be answered say,

Per virtutem pentaculorum dum ipsis pentaculis et verbis (?) creatoris obedientes fuistis, pax inter nos et vos et condonati citis fragrantia odorum suauissima ita in pace et cum benedictione illius qui vobis scire talia dedit, parati semper venire qum vocati estis sine solemnitate aliqua obseruatam, Amen.

And by this Conjuration ye may Consecrate the booke and all that ye will;

[Chap. 3] How and by what manner the pentacles be made whereupon the science consisteth.

In this Clauicle or Canderiarum consisteth all the Science of this Clauicle, for there, all the sience beginneth and therfore in the operation of this booke the Clauicle [Clavicle] doth take his effect, and he that will be perfect in this craft, let him begin soe as it is declared of the pentacle and of the same pentacles be certayne exorcizmes and names ineffable and carecters and signes of all the science, therefore, in them the whole science of all this art lyeth hydd the pentacles or canderie be [24r] uncertayne with most glorious and holyest names they were written in the tables of Moyses and Salomon by deuine reuelation had them and gathered them together, and consecrated them to all necessity of mans body, and for there safegard.

Of Pentacles

The Pentacles be made upon day, and on his howre the moone exconiunctione in the signe of the Ayre or of y^e earth beinge equall with y^e sonne in angiment pardica (?), for if the sonne be in the signe of the **ether in ariete [Aries] and the Moone be in the same and soe of other signes haue a house or secrett chamber cleane and goodly wherin shall none inhabit, but the cheefe coniurer and his fellowes, and make a fumigation there and sprinckle it with y^e water, as it is sayd and let the time be cleare, and haue your paper or more of virgin paper and begin that howre to write the foresayde pentacle of noble collour as is emabrium or celestem coniured and exorsized as it is sayd followinge, the pen and the Inke, let them be writt and other thinges to be exorsized, and when they be written perfectly, that howre if they be not completed, doe not cease untill they be fullfilled when ye may. Then take some noble cloth of silke wherin ye may hold the foresayd pentacles, and haue there an earthen pot great, and full of coales, and let there be of ligno mastico masculo & ligno aloe, coniured, and let y^e coniurer be cleare [24v] as it is meete, and haue there prepared Arthanum nupatum in the joyce of pimpernell and the blood of a goose made and completed upon mercuries day in the augementinge of the moone where upon let 3 masses be songe with gospells and fumigate it with fumigations of y^e knife, that ye must cut and make maicum Isopi [hyssop], with your whole minde and humble deuotion, sayinge these Psalmes with y^e oration followinge:

Domine deus noster, Domine Deus meus in te speraui [Ps7]; Celi enarrant [Ps18]; Dominus illuminatio [Ps26; Deus Deus meus respice [Ps21]; Beati quorum [remissae sunt iniquitates] [Ps31]; Miserere mei [Deus] [Ps50]; Afferte Domino filii [Ps28]; Deus iudicium tuum [Ps71]; Deus in nomine tuo, Salvum me fac [Ps53]; Ecce nunc benedicto [*benedicite] Domini [Ps133].

Adonay, sanctissime el, poteus ou, piissime quies Alpha et Omega, qui omnia in sapientia condidisti, qui Abraham primum fidelem in seruum elegisti eius semen sicut stellarum celi multiplicasti, qui morsi seruo tuo in ignea flamma de medio rubi [Ex 3:2] appariusti, et per nomen sanctum tuum quod est, Echio, Affe, Eche, ei, reuelasti, qui populum super mare facile pedibus ambulare fecisti qui Moysi serui tuo in monte Sinay, Saluatoris dedisti, qui Salomon filio regis dauidis precuntis hominibus sapientiam tribuisti et presentia pentacula [25r] sine canderias pro tutumire (?) corporis et anime saluationis eo misericorditer reuelasti tuam suppler adoro maiestatem et suppliciter adoro cordiam ut in virtate tua ista pentacula sine canderia consecrantur, et preparentur quemadmodum 9ueuit (? consueuit?), et virtutem quam optimere debeant obtineant, per te sanctissime Adonay cuius regnum et imperium permansit in secula seculorum, Amen.

Say this 3 dayes continuall upon the foresayed pentacles and cause 3 masses to be sayed of y^e Holy Ghost, and one of Our Lady, and afterward put the foresaid signes, in a silke cloth with goodly sauours, and put them up in a cleane place. And when it is neede, ye may worke as it is said of the artes magicall, of thy cloth were decked with gold it were of more efficacye, and when they be put in a cleane place, fumigate them and sprincle them with water and Isope [hyssop] and soe let them alone. They haue immumerable vertues as it is contained heareafter.

If ye coniure any spirit in whatsoeuer parte of the world he be, whether he be in mans body, or any other place, he will obey thee, and if ye constraine any spirit to come before you and when ye haue shewed him y^e secret pentacles, there is none dare say against your [25v] minde without any sacrifice giuen to him, they haue not only vertue in this, but also in divers necessities, they succoreth the bearer, they be good against parrells, of y^e earth and ague, against all langowres, and necessities and against all enemies visible, and invisible, against drinkinge and venome, or poyson [poison], against maleficitatos, against feare and cuttinge against subtill thunders and lightninge & tempests, and in every place wheresoever ye be ye shall be sure and safe all the time of his life, both day and night, and in euery howre you shalbe safe, watchinge, sleepinge, drinkinge and eatinge, goeinge and standinge, and in doinge all your busines, in battell in fightinge, and ye shalbe invincible in euery thinge, and noe man shalbe of power at the time to withstand you. They give grace and victory of lovers and enemies visible and invisible, and by the vertue of them, the fyer is quenched and shall not passe your commandement, and the water standeth still, all creatures were made in the recommendation and feareth by there, feare, and all thinges heavenly, earthly, and infernall doth obey them and all perills of the world: be delivered by the healpe of God [26r] cum patre et filio, et sic honor et gloria in secula seculorum. Amen.

Now we shall beginne the Science of this booke.

First before the inception of this booke worke let Arthanus be made, of the which incedat manicum sp^rculi,¹ and for this ye must in euery operation of this booke, worke with holy water. After that ye must consider the dayes and the howres, in the which the foresayd pentacles shall be purged or made, and the midds of all, let the maiesty be with angells like as he shall come to judge both quicke and dead, and in the circut of the maiesty, let the names of the ineffable be writen and of y^e Angells. And when these be fullfilled, let there be made and ordayned as in this chapter is contayned. And when ye will worke in this science, of this Clavicle, haue over with you in every operation these pentacles, and by the healp of god, you operation shall haue effect, and forst in this chapter, all science consisteth, and if they consider of euery chapter of the second booke in y^e which ye shall find all documents in this chapter, and for this in this chapter, consisteth the beginninge and ende of all the science of the Clavicle of Salomon, and if ye understand the chapter heareafter written, how of the worke of [26v] Images of Astronomy the beginninge and the endinge of all the whole science of the Clavicle, in this chapter is comprehended by this chapter of worke of Images, and by this of y^e whole science comminge to effect and in euery worke ye may be perfect.

Heare followeth the forme and manner of the pentacles or canderarin distireco~es.

These pentacles and ineffable names should be glorified with great honor and beloued and ought to be seene by noe meanes, but with great deuotion, for they be holynes of all holynes, for the defence of the body and the soale [soul].

Pater noster qui es in celis, auina [*adiuva? Ad 36674 reads 'I adjure you'] vos nos et per nomen sanctum tuum, Ioth, heth, he, vau, quod 4^or litteris scriptum est, et per hoc exorsismum huius artis possumus teneri veritatem Ia, Ia, Ia, ya, yath, nomina, I, ya, ya, ya, neh sancta dei faciatis rem istaui (istam?), N. quam quermus spiritibus manifestare et apparere, aperte.

Coniuro vos spiritus per nominatos omnia nomina supradicta et per quem timet omnes creature ut cito vel cituis in vel huic pu~s rem istam quam quermus. N. monstrare debeatis.

When that is sayd, the spirit will shew him by and by the matter that he seeketh openly and before such a worke, let such a Coniurer be, as ye shall reade, and if the experiments be such that the Caracters be written, and it is necessary howsoeuer the experiments be to finde theft, if it passe the preparaments of this experiment, let him doe as it is contayned in this Chapter, and doe all other necesseties or Solemnities necessary in such craft, or experiment, as it is contayned in the chapters of the first and 2^d booke, if it be done otherwise, it shall neuer come to effect.

[chap. 5.] How experiments of Invisibilitie showld be prepared.

If ye desire to make an experiment of invisibilitie, do y^t experiment as it is contayned in it. If y^e day [&] the howre be well ordinate, and if the day ^^& the howre be not, take the day and the howr as ye reade. [Compare with prologue.] And if it be necessary that this experiment be written all in virginne paper with a pen as it is said and if such an experiment be with the Coniuration of Convocation, before ye make your convocation, say these verses in your heart:

Stalbontem nacherim Assoy elingit gabelin, Semenoy meme nobal balbonetem netemolas, balnonetem, meme, nobal, tiginnel [*tigimel?], inlegabe, neueres, nara, heam, hearma, ha~rde, yessa, ayes, esay, seya, revenes, caturas, soney, honey, barkata, attacurab, cata, racula, Uncarat, carucab, per misericordiam quam habetis erga mortales p^rficiats, hoc opus ut invisibilis ire possum.

Then make your Invocation surly and make it well, if it be neede make a Circle in such an experiment, make such as it is sayd beneath of circles. And if it be needfull to write with any [31r] bloud, make it, as it is sayd, of the bloud of y^e backe. And if it be neede to write carecters, write the masse, as we haue written hearafter of carecters. And let this experiment be prepared, if any invocation be made, adde at the end of these wordes,

O tu Parezon, mãiester invisibilitatis cum ministris tuis, thouchoch marath modragru~ p^*ries, Dianedris, Ugenenis, abden, pransbusick, tangenden, liesiden, suthencar, bebelgi, berid, el, tutram, rastram, I, bethel, gniro, te pauareson, et ipsos ministros per illum qui intrare fecit in virgine et deus est cum homine et per illum qui contremessere facit arbem, et per celum terram et per cherubin et Ceraphim [Seraphim], ut hoc experimentum p^rficere facias ut in quacunque hora voluero, possum ire, invisibilis iterum.

Coniuro te et omnes ministros tuos per Stalbontem, nameriny abun^*git, assey, gabasin, semenoy, ut statim venias cum omnibus dictis ministris tuis ut p^rficiatis hoc opus sicut vos sitis, ut per hoc experimentum invisibilem me faciatis et nemo videat, et itu ego ad effectum p^rueimam.

And if ye haue an experiment of invisibility, in any other meanes haue that experiment prepared as ye shall finde written, withall, solemnityes necessary in that experiment, doe as it is contayned in the first and 2^d booke as through [31v] all, and when ye haue done the solemnitys of all the foresaid chapters, doe this experiment surely, and soe ye may finde it, and if ye should doe it otherwise, it should neuer come to effect.

[Chap. 6.] How experiments of Love should be ordayned.

Whosoeuer will make or prepare any thing upon any woman, first he must be such as a Coniurer ought to be, then let him take that experiment that he desireth to make and doe as it is contayned in it, and if the day doe fayle and the howre, doe it one such a day and howre as it shall be sayed. And if this experiment be with an Image of wax, or of some other condition, before the Image be made, let the wax be such as we shall speake of.

Then say ouer the wax, when it is prepared these verses or charmes,

Quod huic cere faciatis, habere effectum venit, enim de sancta sede Adonay timor qui vos voluntatem nostram facere, coartabit.

When that is done you shall forme your Image as it is sayd in that experiment, and if it be necessary to [32v] write any other thinge upon the Image, ye must write aboue the Image with a needle or a pen, such as is sayd beneath of them, and if it be necessary to fumigate the Image, let it be with such as we shall speak of, if any other necessities or solemnities, be necessary, let them be as it is contayned, and if any Invocation be one the Image, when that is sayd after the order of y^e experiment in the ende of that Invocation, let a fume be made aforesaid and hold the Image over that fume and say,

O, tu Oriens rex egregie qui in Oriente regnas et imperas et superas, Ô, tu Paymon, rex potentissime qui in occidente potentissime eua~rs (?) [*dominans], O tu Amaymon rex maxime qui in Australia parte viriliter principarum, O tu Egyn potentissime et clarissime cuius regnum et imperium in 7^tentrione fere Comprobatur, ego vos voco et adimpe de precor et eum qui dicit et factum est, qui solo verba cuncta creauit omnia regit et per voluntatem disposuit, et per nomen sanctum eius per quod tremit omnem [33r] seculum quod 4^or litteris stribitur quod est, Ioth, heth, he, vau, et per nomen celestes canderias et per earum virtutes et signa et nomina creatorum ut presentem ^es Imaginem ^es quem admodum quen^t consecretis et confirmetis ut virtutem quam obtinere debeat, obtineat et quam obtamus,

That done ye shall coniure againe your coniurations, tha [sic] be in that experiment, and if y^e woman come in that howre it is well, if she come not then put that Image under thy beddes head, and ye shall see, before the 3^d day, great marvayles of y^e woman, that shall come incontinently to thee, or shall send her messenger to you, and if ye doe this that is sayd above any preparament of such a craft, chaynes of Iron shall not hold her, if the Image be p'gid [pingere? = painted], or if the Caracters be written, or the names, and he tell not with whome they be written or be p'gid, ye must write with such a thinge, as it is sayd after of pen and Inke, and soe of virgin paper, and if ye have neede to write with a needle, write with such a one as we spake of, and if the day and the howre be not, let the day and y^e howre be taken as it is sayd, and let all solemnities that be necessary for such an experiment, be in that day as it is contayned in the chapters of y^e first and second Booke. [33v] And such an experiment prepared, let it be worked and prepared one such an howre, compleate, as it is sayd after and then, let your experiment be completid y^t the wemen be trangent^s, and if thy experiment be of powder, such condition that powder should be made of any thinge for to cast upon her, or to be given her to eate or drinke, let the solempnities be made the dayes and the howres in our Chapters, then ye shall say over the powder this Coniuration, whatsoever part of y^e world ye be in, and in whatsoever names ye call,

Coniuro vos et contestor vos demones qui potestatem habetis, subuertendi corda hominum et mulierum per illud qui vos, formant et creauit et destruere potest quatenus in hac nocte super rem istam et sine mora consecretis ipsam rem quemadmodum conuenit et virtutem habeat coarcendi omnes nomines et mulieres quos vel quas ad amorem meum desidero.

Then worke upon such a matter such an howre as it is sayd after, when any experiment of love, shall be written or a figure or a Caracter to shew unto women, or to passe foorth, or to touch her, ye must doe it [34r] after the howres, and after our chapters, that shall be necessary in such experiments when the caracter figure or Image, shall be prepared written in paper. When these shall be prepared because of use, or because of touchinge a woman, say upon these thinges prepared this Coniuration:

The howre and his day is best fo[r] love. Also observe the mone [Moon] for her prime unto her beginninge of her declination is that she be in the same signe that the Sonne [Sun] is in, soe it, be a friday signe, on a friday then doe or write prepared all experiments of love towards the North.

Coniuro vos, per illud vos creare et creari nissit et per tremendum domine Iudicii et per illum qui reget orbem terre et qui contremessere facit omnem creaturam per in hac die et nocte consecretis et confirmatis hos carecteris vel, figuris vel Imagines scriptas ve[l] hanc virginem quemadmodum conuenit et obtineat in se virtutem 4 talem quod quicunque hunc figuram vel dedero vel monstrauero vel de ipsis tetigiro vel super ipsam transire potero vel fecero me possit amare et deligere et me amet et diligat et semper me solum cupiat omnes alios pro nihil, habeat tota sua cogituro et requies sit super me.

After that keepe this experiment under an aulter [altar], and ye shall worke such and howre as it is sayd after of places.

[Here followeth another way whereby it is brought to pass, that she shall dream of thee.]

And if you will that your experiment shall be true, ineffable and while ye doe say the Invocation for dreaminge, behold the ayre, the moone and the starres of the firmament, [34v] standinge in your chamber, say to the ayre in your heart, or minde with a low voyce,

Agla, Ioth, heth, he, vau, Ia, Ia, Ia, Ia, Va, Va, yha, yhac, Iohene, Aniti, melcha, Ioy, Ieny Iegeo, Le, Lesy, Agay, Occyonomes, heltab, gegeon, oy, anapheton, Anareneton, noon, Ioorzat domine sancte pater qui cuncta creasti et qui cognoscis corda hominum et mulierum per tua sanctissima nomina ista, flumina cor et mentem talis N. ut ipsa me diligat equali dilectione et ego ipsam diligo, et quod ita ipsa faciat velle meum sicut ego sum paratus facere velle suum et da vim et fortitudinem hunc experimento et per te sanctissime pater per illos spiritus seu per v^*bu huius experimenti valeat ad effectum perducere.

Then doe that experiment as ye ought withall his solemnities of our Chapters of the first and second Booke, and soe it shall appeare true as it is sayed before.

[The experiment or operation of the Apple.]

If ye will make any experiment with an apple, prepare that day and howre, as ye may see after, and have an apple fayre, and immaculate or some other frute [fruit], in thy hand in some secret place; or before ye take him from the tree. Sprincle him with water and Isope [hyssop] as it is said, and fumigate him with a fumigation. [35r]

Afterward say unto the apple or frute, this followinge,

Deus qui fecisti Adam et Euau, ex 4^or elementis de igne, aere, aqua et terra, et fecisti duam de costa ipsius a de quam dedit ei ad comendum, de fructu et fecit eum precare ita v^o qui vel q~ de isto fructu comederit vel viderit vel tegigerit semper votum faciat meum. Coniuro te pomum vel fructum per ista nomina elya, ely, et per Michaelem et Gabrielem et Raphaelem et per eum qui te creauit et per virtutem eius et nomina eius ineffabilia. Joth, Heth, He, Vau, Ioazar, patri, Va, Va, Vah, Vay, agla, anareneton, per que creauit omnem seculum ut qui vel que de isto pomo cõmederit vel viderit vel tegigerit nulla requies sit in eis nisi totam meam compleuerit voluntatem.

And if ye ought to wright any other thinge in the apple or frute, let it be written with a needle or a poyntell such as we speake of, and ye shall worke upon such an oration as it is sayd, after such experiments of love be made in lookinge onely the sight and the secrets of women, let such experiments be made and prepared in howres attribuated unto love, if ye doe as it is sayd, and if ye prepare such experiments they shall appeare very sure.

[Chap. 7.] How experiments of grace and impetration should be prepared.

[35v]

Yf ye purpose to make an experiment of grace & impetration ye must consider this experiment how it is made, and if the dayes howres fayle in it, ye must take them as it is sayd of y^e Chapters of howrs, and if ye reade not of what ye ought to make the experiment of grace, let it be written of that, that is say after of pen and Inke, and let it be suffumigated and sprinkle it with water and Isope, and if in that breve the carecters be written, let them be made like as it is sayd of the writinge of carecters, and let that breve be put in a cloth of silke and let this be sayd over it following:

Adonay, sanctissime el potens qui es alpha et Omega, per tuam misericordiam qui plenes es nomine et veritatis qui dixisti petite et dabitur vobis dona nobis domine ut in virtute tua hoc experimentum consecretur et p^rficiatur venit de sancta sede adonay qui in isto breue virtutem imp^rauit.

That donne let that breve be put under a Cloth of y^e aulter [altar], for one day and an night. Afterward if ye will obtayne grace and favour of your freindes, let such one be ordayned opened in thy hand, and ask boldly one such an howre, as ye may see after of howres, [36r] and he shall have noe power to deny thee the grace, that ye aske him; and without this document, any other experiment of grace and impetration should be nothinge worth, and in whatsoever breve, or coniuration it be, let this verse be written or sayd at the ende, and it shall be as we have sayd.

S. Sator, arepo, tenet, opera, rotas, Ioth, heth, he, vau, y. hac, Ia, Ia, Ia, papes, Ioazar, anarenetõ nomina sancta ad implete votum Amen. Baltazar, Iapher, Melchior [i.e. the 3 magi], Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, Sydrac, Misaac et Obednego [Abednego], Marcus, Matheus, Lucas, Johannes, Ioron, Sizon, Tiris anfraton, adestote omnes in adiutorium ut a quacunque creatura voluere possim graciam impetrare.

And soe such a breve shall come to effect, by gods healpe.

[Chap. 8.] How experiments of envy and destruction should be ordayned.

The experiments of envy and destruction, may be any wayes. Consider, the experiments that ye will make whether, it be done with an Image or by some other meanes, and if the day doe fayle, let them be taken as it is written after, and make an Image, & when that is made, let him befumigate it with an horrible fumigation, and if it need to write any thing [36v] upon the foresayd Image, write with a needle and sprinkle it with horrible water, as it is said of water, and Isope, and afterward say upon the Image, these wordes followinge,

Arator, Lapidator, temptator, somniator, subuersor, iquator, signator, sudator, Combustor, pugnator, ductor, seductor, Commestar duorator, vos omnes socii et ministri odii et distructionis et seratores discordie et qui libentor talia opera faciatis et tractetis eo quod est, necc~e vos coniurare ideo vos coniuro, et deprecor quod administretis et consecretis ista imaginem et odium fiet inter tales N. et N.

Then let it be put with an horrible savore by all y^e might, then let the image be made on such an howre, and if the experiments of hatred and destruction be done otherwise as it is with carecters, or in names or in touchinge them that ye love or in wordes, or be any other meanes, the dayes and the howres be necessary, and if any other thinge be necessary, ye must doe that thinge that is contayned, in the [37r] chapters of the first and y^e 2^d booke. If it be neede that any breve be made, becuse [sic] of discord, let the names beforesayd be written in that breve, as Arator, Lupidator [sic], &c. If the experiment be to giue any thinge to your lovers to eate or to drinke, because of discord, first let that thinge be taken for the dayes and the howres apt for it, and when they be prepared, and ordered, put these thinges before thee, and say,

Ubi es sompniator, arator, et Lapidator, temptator, et deuorator, seminator, discordie et ubi est auditor odium poneus et positor discordie et exatores inimicorum. Coniuro vos et contestor per illum qui creauit vos et per illum qui ad hoc ministerium vos ordinauit, et libenter faciatis talia opera. Rago vos et deprecor que ista faciatis ita quae qui vel que de ista commederit, vel aliquo modo tetigerit, numquoque possuit ad concordiam convocari.

And afterward ye shall giue that thinge to your lovers, such an howre as it is sayd afterward, and it shall be. Yf any experiment of Destruction be, let it be made after the chapters pertayninge unto such experiment, that be in the first and second booke and soe it is very trew.

[Chap. 9] How experiments of mockinge and laughinge should be prepared.

Experiments ludibrious and derysions be made many wayes. Whensoeuer any experiment transfatorium when it is sure make a day and an howre meete [suitable] for him for it as it is sayd, aboue, and write all this experiment, as it is sayde in it, if it must be written in paper it must be writt as it is sayd of paper. And if it be not sayd of what it must be writt, ye muste write it with the bloud of a backe, as it is sayed after of pen and inke. And if in such the carecters be writt with the names they must be made, writt and wrought, so as it is contayned in the chapters of the first and y^e 2^d booke, and when it is soe ordained, haue before thee all that experiment, and say upon it with a low voyce, in thy heart these wordes,

Seternal, abac, abdac, istac, restac, audaac, castreac cobac, bator, lustor, crustor, derisor, besator, incarcerator. Adestote triumphatores et faciatis apparere talem rem sicut sitis quia omnes aspicientes sunt orbiculati et prospiciendo semper cogitauit in vestro fruitio ut videndo talia qualibet sit in ludo et in eis [38r] appereat quod non est veniatis et sedeatis et consecretis istud breue vel incantamentum istud quia Iesus Nazarenus vos ad talia dedicauit.

After that breve or incantation, be made, let it be ordayned such an howre as it is sayde, after of howres. And the foresayd words Abac, &c. ought to be writt in an experiment ordayned there, and if it be made otherwayes without the wordes aforesayed must be repeated howsoeuer they be, and so ye shall come to effect by god's grace, whose honor and glory be in euerlastinge world Amen.

[Chap. 10.] How experiments extraordinary be prepared and ordayned.

We haue sayd before of all experiments collected of all the world, and put together in certayne chapters. Now followeth of experiments extraordinary, as experiments of hurtinge men, to cause them that they shall not lye with there wives, and experiments of concord and other like, and many other diuers experiments, as brevia, of many thinges, and other experiments.

And whatsoeuer be written of y^t experiments in paper, with pen and inke, and in those experiments extraordinary that be for goodnes, howsoeuer they be, [38v] let this oration be sayd and write in it as it should be written, as we haue sayd,

O deus qui fecisti omnia et qui nobis dedisti ad cognocendum bonum a malo per sanctum nomen tuum quod 7^is litteris scriptum est qualibet in se p^rtet unum ex sanctis nominibus sicut scriptum est S. a. e. sob, h. h. h. d. b (?). et parir coabgis, hac, faf, mihi. hapais, zos, Ioazat, Auereym, tot, creator rx (?). concede nobis hoc experimentum in nominis manibus esse verum.

And againe let this gospell be writt or sayd upon the experiments,

In illo tempore ductus est, Iesus in deftum ut temptaretur a diabolo.¹

That done and all the gospell sayd, ye shall worke after the howres as it followeth, and in such experiments extraordinary that be more for good then for evill, doe it as it is said. And in them onely that be prepared for evill, let these charmes be written and sayd withall solempnitie,

Nesuanotida, didico mansan, nesay, ysan, haspazar, hers, solidnatores, crioxlatos, Urizil, tangandu, in syon sacultaciornos, siu~ bracab unadarum aruey, arfusa, astary, seminatores, totius mali et totius boni adestote in adiutorium istius experimenti [39r] ut per vos consecretur et confirmetur in virtute quam scriptum habeatur in se obtineat per sanctissimam sedem Adonay, et eius timorem qui sine fine venit et regnat deus in secula seculorum Amen.

Afterward suffumigate that breve, and sprincle it with in the name of them that can doe such a thinge. Then let him worke upon such an howre, and soe it is sayd, of makinge of all experiments extraordinary good or evill, and consider whosoeuer doth purpose to make any experiment aforesayd, if one poynt of that we haue written doe lacke of y^e experiments or craft, it shall neuer come to effect, and if ye consider and keepe stedfastly in your memory all that we haue written with the chapters followinge, ye may flye ouer the winges of the windes, and satistie your desire in euery thinge.

Finis primi Libri Claviculi Salomoni.

Heare endeth the first prologue, and heare beginnethe the prologue of the 2^d. booke, as Ptolomeus the greacian witnesseth, that hath elucidated and made cleere the Secrett of Secretts from obscure Darkness.

This Little worke of my father Salomon is composed and deuided into 2. bookes, and in the first ^^Booke we haue shewed how the artes and experiments should be prepared & made and how ye may know the fallacyes of the wordes of [39v] experiments, and what is necessary in the fallacyes of that arte and experiments, in the operation of them now we must see what is necessary in fullfillinge all craftes and all experiments and all fallacyes, that then we must take heede, that this marvelous secret come not into the handlinge of fooles, for he that hath this Booke, and keepe well in memory those thinges that be written therin, he may well know all the fallacise of all craftes & experiments, and make them, no craft nor experiment of whatsoeuer condition it be, can prevayle without little worke, and therefore the makers of craftes or exozizators [sic] of experiments if they have not and know not this worke, they can come by noe meanes to the effect of any craft or experiment, therefore I desire and coniure him, that shall haue this secrett, that he deliuer it to noe man, except he be a very secret fellow, faithfull and wise, &c an instructer of such craftes, I coniure him by the body and bloud of Christ, and by the name that he ought to receave, and by him that can giue life to his sonne and take it away at pleasure, and as he would keepe his owne life that he take not this worke to fooles, and if he deliuer it except he be secret.

I pray god the Father that gaue me knowledge of such thinges, if it be deliuered into mens handes foolishly, that such [40r] secretts that he purposeth to doe, may never come to passe, and soe be it. Amen.

He that purposeth to medle with this craft, must haue perfect and sure faith.

Heare beginneth the second Booke of the Clavicle of Salomon.

The first chapters of howres, how artes and experiments be completed. i Chapter.²

In the first booke we entreated, of dayes and howres, & poyntes necessary in preparinge craftes, or experiments, now let us consider when they be prepared and ordayned in there howres convenient, what howre they ought to be excersised and completed, if any art or experiment be prepared to speake with or binde spiritts, whatsoeuer day or howre they be ordayned, as it is written in the art or experiment it is necessary. And when he calleth them that be created of y^e Cracklinge of y^e fyer [fire], they come with great earthquakes of fyer, and the figure of them is assembled to flames of fyer. And when he calleth spirits created of y^e water, they come with rayne, hayle, and thunder, and such other. And when he calleth spirits created of y^e winde, they come like the ayer, and ye neede to feare none of these, if ye keepe your precepts, as ye may se after in the chapter of precepts, and therefore, spirits of what condition soeuer they be, or of whatsoeuer element [41r] ought not be called, except the time be fayre, and pleasant. The spirits created of y^e fyer abideth in the east. Spirits created of fayrnes, abideth in the north. Spirits created of water, abideth in the west. Spirits created of the winde abideth in the south.

Notifie that it shall be more sure and truer, your experiments to be made towards the east. Allway doeinge thinges necessary toward that part, other experiments as they that be extraordinary, and experiments of love, they be of more effect, if they be prepared toward the north. And note that after ye haue donne, one arte or experiment, and haue ended it, and kept it well, whensoever ye will on, that spirit eyther day or howre or in any solemnity, ye may make experiment, and if with these howres, and poyntes and all solemnities kept, if your art or experiment cometh not to effect, ye may know, that it is false, or ye be deceived in some poynt. For if ye escape [omit] one poynt or howre ye shall never come to effect.

2. chap: how the Coniurer should order himself.³

Marke this Chapter well, for in it consisteth, all the whole science of the Clavicle, the maker of the artes or experiments first, must consider what art or experiment he entendeth to doe, and ought to write all that art or experiment in such paper and parchment as we shall speake of. And afterward he must marke well, in what day this experiment must be prepared and beganne, and what is necessary in preparinge of it, or what he ought to adde or diminish in arts or experiments, and must marke in what day and howre, it should be donne, and when it is soe prepared, he must remember in what place he will doe it, and soe before he beginneth any thinge in this art, he must [41v] remember all necessary thinges convenient for this art, and when he hath remembered it, and marked it the coniurer must goe into his secret chamber, or some other place, soe that none know where he is y^t none see him, and strippe himself naked, and haue a bath prepared or coniured water, of such water as we shall speake of, and let him take the water and put it upon the toppe of his head, soe that it may runne downe unto his feete, sayinge,

Domine Iesu Christe qui formasti me indignum et miserabilem peccatorem ad similitudinem tuam benedicere et sanctificare digneris hanc aquam ut si mundificamentum et saluamentum mei corporis et anime ut nulla fallacia possit in me aliquo modo apparere omnipotens et ineffabilis pater qui unigenitum filium tuum a Iohanne Baptista in flumina Iordanis baptizari concessisti conceda quaeso omnipotens quod aqua isti sit baptizatus meus ita quod renovatus et mundificatus sum ab omnibus peccatis praeteritis presentibus et futuris per dominum nostrum Iesum Christum ê.

Afterwar [sic] wash thy self wholy in that water, and doe on linnen geare next your body, as we shall shew afterward, of garments, then let him abstayne him self at least 3 dayes from all uncleanes, and filthy commonninge as we shall afterward speake of, of fastinge, and euery day let him say this oration ones in the morninge, about 3 twise, and about 9 - 3 times, about the eventyde 4 times and when ye ought to goe into bed 5 times. And doe this untill the 3^d day. [42r]

Abraxio saac, asaoech, rumlas, filac, anabonas, hyra, vel byra, boulen, ladodoch, achazel, zophite, panty, haruchata, baruchata, Adonay, Eloy, emag^o, abraxio, athedie, abarach, Syammil, Mel, Cadac, Ora, Ely, aya, anustra, hugyma, mathea, dauid, dama, damay, rachel, beel, homam sehem, gemes, Ihesu, deus deus concede in ut perseverare posui que facere intendo, ut per te sanctissime Adonay, mirear adimplere et dominum nostrum &ecitc;.

When these 3 dayes be past, let him begin to prepare as it is sayd, the art or experiment that he intendeth, to make.

These 3 dayes ought to be most clearest and fayrest, before the day & the howre of preparation. After these 3 dayes ye ought to begin to prepare, and looke for the howre when ye must begin to worke, and when that howre is begonne then worke afterward it may contineu [sic] in euery howre followinge, and all these aforsayd, the Coniurer ought to doe, if he will bringe any to effect.

[Chap. 3.] Of Fellowshippe.⁴

Trycomzator, or the Instructor of the artes or experimenti, if he intend to doe any thinge he must remember what fellowshippe he purposeth to haue with him, in euery art that ye use circles, 3 fellowes, be necessary and if he can get noe fellowed, let him take at the least a dogge to be for his fellow bound fast to him. And when the maister hath fellowes, let him instruct them, and teach them to know all busines, that he will doe, and how they must keepe and doe, that, y^t, the Coniurer telleth them, and shall sweare to keepe and observe his precepts, and if they doe contrary in any poynt, it shallbe very like for them to dye, [42v] and when the scholars shall be taught and instructed the master shall take water coniured, and enter into some place secretly, and strippe his fellowes naked, and put water upon there heads, that it may runne downe to there feete, and the m^r shall say,

Renovati Baptizati et mundificati sitis in nomine patris et filii [et] S. Sancti Amen. Ab omnibus peccatis vestris et quae virtus altissimi descendat, super vos et super nos mendat semper ut implere valeamus desiderium nostri cordis.

Then let them doe on the geare as there m^r did before, and observe themselves as he did, and say 3 dayes the oration as the m^r did.

Then let them follow the m^r in all thinges, when time and howre is for to doe any thinge, and if the m^r will have for his fellow, first he shall baptize him with coniured [water], and afterward fumigate him and coniure his sayinge,

Coniuro et exorsiso te creatura N. per eum qui te creavit et baptiso te et fumigo te in nomine patris et filii et Spiritus Sancti Amen. Ut sis verus et fidelis socius meus et amicus.

And if ye will have a litle boy or a wench for your fellow in doeinge of any art, doe by them as ye did by the dogge, afterward pare all his nayles, with glasse, and say,

Coniuro te Iuvenem [?] creatura per patrem et filium et spiritum sanctum, per patrem elymon, et per patrem ebayl, et per patrem elyon, qui non habent potestatem celandi nec negandi de omni eo quod interroganero te [43r] ut mihi sis obediens et fidelis.

Then wash the child and baptize him with water coniured, as it is sayd after of water, sayinge,

Sis renovatus et mundificatus ut nunquam spiritus malignus in te manere possit.

Then fumigate him with fumigations, as we have written after. And when your fellow or schollers be soe ordered, the m^r may doe all maner of artes surely without feare, for the samegard [sic *safeguard] of body and soule, the maister, and all his fellowes shall have the pentacles written in paper such as we speake of after, of virgin paper, and each one of them shall have these pentacles when they be hallowed and beare them upon them in noble silke, with sweete and fragrant savours. And then let them not feare, for they be safe from all feare and perrill. Then let them doe what they intend to doe. They ought to be 3 fellowes without [i.e not counting] the master but v. or vi. or ix. while they doe after the maister his precepts.

[Chap. 4. Of Fastinge in Custody.]⁵

If any man will worke in Nigromancy, first when he hath made all ordinances, of artes from the first day of his inception, he must keepe himself and abstayne from all unlawfull thinges, and from all Inquitition of his body from great eatinge and drinkinge, and from all filthy communication, and fowle games, and from leachery, and from fablinge and talking, and must have in him all honesty, that he coniecture or thinke upon, in speakinge, in walking, in eatinge, in drinkinge, in all his executions, and these ought to be donne, for the space of 9 dayes, before the [43v] day of his inception, and his scollers must have them in like manner.

When ye be in a place where ye will make a circle withall preparaments and necessary arts and experiments, take the knife beforesayd in your hand that we speake of now, and fasten him the earth in the middes of y^e place, where ye will make your circle. Then take a corde of the lengthe of 9 foote, one both partes, from the east, from the west, from y^e South, and the north, and put a signe, and in this signe, in the middes make a circle of that artes that ye will have, with the foresaid knife, leavinge an entringe, from the north, part to come into the circle and goeinge out, and beyond the circle of the arte, make another circle a foote of [off], w^t the foresayde knife, alwayes leavinge one gate, before another and likewise make another circle, beyond them per demi-foote, leavinge and entringe, and within the two circles that be yond the circle of arte make pentacles, with the names of our saviour as it [51r] followeth, of the forme of the circle, and about the circle that is beyond by a foote, make crosses as is in the circle, beyond that circle, make a square circle as all thinges appeareth heare one the other side [i.e. on the following page], in the circle made to the eye, In the summyte of every corner let a litle roundle be made, wherein the pott with good coles, and spices shall be put, and let one sword be fastned in the ground by a foote behinde the pott as it followeth. That donne, let the m^r of the art, take his fellowes and bringe thorow the entringe into the circle, of the art, and let them keepe toward y^e partes of y^e world and admonish them as it is sayd after the precepts. And let the fellow towards the East have penne, Inke and paper. Let each one of the other[s] have a cleane sworde in his hand, soe that the remnante have a sworde they hold in there handes by the pomell, soe that they moove (?) them not that be fastned by the potts, & the swordes that they hold in there handes, be forbiti like other. And let the m^r goe out of the circle, and kindle the fyer of y^e potts and put in the spice coniured, as it followeth, of fumigations. And let him have a greese candle coniured in his hand as it followeth of candles and let him light it, and put it into a lanthorne [lanturn] made ready [beforehand] and let him reforme the circle againe and close the entringe and warne his fellowes againe, and take a bell followinge and doe as it is sayd of the chapter of places. Then let him fumigate himself and his fellowes with a senser, and the circle with fumigations followinge and sprincle himself, his [51v] fellowes, and the place with water and Isope coniured as it followeth of water. And when all this is prepared, let all solemnityes be there prepared y^t be contayned above in the first and second booke.

After that, let the m^r beginne to say standinge in the middes of y^e Circle, with a knife fastned at his feete and there let the bell be toward the east, coniuria of the art, that he purposeth to make. And after let him say if they come not, his coniurations and orations that be contayned in the first booke in the chapters of all artes and soe ye must doe, if ye will come to effect.

ex alia litera

[Chap. 10.] Of Fumigations of all Artes and experiments.¹⁷

Diverse fumygations be in Artes and experimentes some odoriferous, some stinkinge. If it be odoriferous take incense, Lignum Aloes, saffron, mirre, muske, costum, and say over it,

Deus Abraham, deus Isaack, deus Iacob, benedic hanc creaturam spe~ et vim et virtutem suam amplia ut hostis fantasma intrare non possit in ea per deum nostrum Iesum filium tuum quae viuit et regnat deus per omnia seculorum Amen.

Exorsiso te omnis in munde spiritus omnemque fantasma in nomina patris omnipotentis et Ihesu Christe filii eius et spiritus sancti ut exeas ab hac specie thimiamatis cum omni fallacia et nequitia ut sit hec species sanctificiata, in nomine domini ** nomine Iesu Christi ut gestantes et adornatis eam virtutem a anplium spiritus sancti p^rcipiant ita ut ubicunquae hec species tacta vel incensa fuerit in expanestando aliquem appropinquare non audeatis aut aduersi inferre p^rsumatis adiurati per nomen dei patris omnipotentis et Christi Iesu filii eius benedic domine creaturam istam ut remedium salutare humani generis et nostrorum corporum et animarum saluacon per invocationem nominis tui ut in quacunquae opera fuerit hec creatura spei sanitatem corporis et anime praecipiat per dominum nostrum et.

After that sprincle the foresayd spices with holy water as followeth, and put it in new silke cloth, and there let it be untill the worke with it. That done, when ye will put it in the fyer [fire], make new fyer of new coles, and in [53v] new potts, vitreats both within and without, say ouer, before ye put in the spice,

The Coniuration of y^e Fyer.

Exorsizo te creatura ignis per que~ facta sunt omnia ut sine mora aliqua eiicias fantasinata [sic] ut nocere non possunt in aliquo oprtr naturam humanam per invocationem altissimi creatoris, Benedic domine creaturam spei~ ut sanctificiata et benedicta sit in collandationem no~is tui sancti ut millum nocumentum sit gestantibus et videntibus per dominum nostrum et.

That donne put the pott and y^e fyer, and the coles, in what operation ye will to make sweete smellinge of savour, and when ye will fumigate any thinge, put such fyer, and such spice, soe coniured in a senser, and make a fumigation in whatsoever part ye will.

If it needeth in any art or experiment, that the spice must be stinkinge as brimstone, hazar, lazay, and other foule spices, say this over it,

Adonay, lazay, dalmay, salmay, almay, Saday, eloy, per invocationem sanctissimi nominis tui domine sancte pater dona nobis anpilium ut hec sp~es nostro adiutorio de iis in quibus eam operari voluerimus et omne fantasma exeat de ea et benedicetur et sanctificetur in nomine tuo pater, potentissime.

When that is done, sprincle it with such water as followeth, and put it in a pipe, and put uppe that [54r] pipe in such new cloth as followeth, of silke and there let it be, untill ye worke with it, and let that cloth be ever kept in a fayre place, and well savoring. After that, fumigate in what part ye will, necessary and by gods healpe ye shall obtayne your purpose.

[Chap. 11.] Of Water and Isope.¹⁸

If it be necessary in any art to sprincle holy water coniure it one this manner. The first day of and in his howre coniure the salt and water havinge a senser with spices coniured, as it followeth on his howre, coniure the spice with like coniuration, as it is sayd of fumigations, take a vessel of pewter or of earth glased, or glasse, and fill him with pure water of the quicke fountayne, and take salt coniured on this manner,

Sabaoth, Messias, Tetragrammaton, Emanuell, Cadyon, fortis Iaña, turris fortitudinis sanctificare et benedicere digneris hanc creaturam salis ut sit nostrum anpilium et Invaniem (?).

And put it in the vessell of water, and say over that water, the 7 [Penitential] Psalmes,

Domine ne in furore [Ps6]; Beati quorum [Ps31]; Domine ne in furore [Ps37]; [Miserere mei Deus (Ps50);] Domine exaudi [Ps101]; [De profundis clamavi (Ps129); Domine exaudi orationem meam (Ps142)]

And this oration,

Tu, N, domine deus meus es, requies mea, tu, es, vita mea vera admira me clementissime pater sicut ego spero in te, deus Abraham, deus Isaac, deus Iacob, deus angelorum, deus archangelorum, deus p'pletarum deus patriarcharum, deus Apostolorum, deus martirum, deus confessorum, deus virginum et vituarum te supplico domine quamvis in dignis, nomen sanctissimum tuum invoco per invocatione et [54v] merita, sanctorum, et sanctarum tuarum Benedicere et Sanctificare digneris hanc aquam ut in loco in quo aspersa fuerit sanitus animarum et corporum nostrorum esse possit, per te sanctissime pater cuius regni non erit finis per omnia secula seculorum Amen.

Then make a dassell of verven, fennell, pervincle, valerian, sage, mynt, maiorana, basilisco, and bind all these hearbes in a rodde [wand] of hasle [hazel], that must be cut of at one cut, with Arthana, as we haue spoken of in the chapter of the knife, and in the chapter, how the pentacles should be made.

Whoso will know the science of this Booke howbeit it is devided into many chapters, the principles of operations, the same chapter should be the principle, and nothinge without, this chapter, of the arte, of Nigromancy can be donne.

Note What is to be done and prepared first.

Thus ye must begin. First and principally let Artanus be made, with these solemnities, as it is sayd in the chapter of artanus, in one day of Mercury in the augmentinge of the moone early in the morning cut an hazell rodde at one cutt and in that howre gather and prepare hearbes, to make a Dassell, and when he is made, cause to be songe over him [55r] St. John's Gospell, In principio, then write upon the rodd of Hasell of the which ye haue made mãicum (?) of Dassell with a needle or a poynthe of Iron as followeth in there chapters.

And afterward worke with this water sprinclinge, w^th Isope sme [sic] Dassell knowinge that in what soeuer part it be sprinkled all fantasies doo departe from that place, & can make noe impediment, and this is the art that ought to be occupied in all artes and experiments of artes, and without this chapiter noe operation of the clavicle can be donne. A mathematicall man if he will doe any art euther by day or by night, he must haue light to make his circles and to reade, and to doe consecrations necessary and note, that these Lightes must be donne and had when ye will doe any operation eyther by day or by night, and these candles and lights, must be made in one day of , in his howre in the augmente of y^e moone and must be consecrated and afterward be put up in a silke cloth, untill ye worke; and in every chapter of y^e Clavicle or in every other operation, let such a candle be occupied as followeth,

[Chap. 12.] Of Candles and there Composition.¹⁹

In the first day and howre that was shewed unto you that is , take a threed of a silke worme made of a mayde, let wickes be made, and upon them let candles of wax be made, of a new hyve that neuer made wax [55v] before, and that is called virgine wax, & fiant grosse vt brachium of half a pound, and when they be made of a new hyve that neuer made wax before, let the signes be written ouer them

with such a needle as followeth, then let him say ouer the candles these Psalmes,

Benedic anima mea [Ps103], Laudate dominum omnes gentes [Ps116], Te deum laudamus [found in Latin mass],

Domine Jesu Christe da mihi peccatori fensa et intellectum et intelligam te timere, credere, amare, et laudare, orare, gratias agere, per fidem rectam et bonam voluntatem concede mihi fidem rectam charitatem perfectam, dona mihi humilitatem et sapientiam et veram emendationem, bona preseuerantiam et fidem perfectam concede mihi domine, antequam morear et antequam mors p^rueniat et antequam tantari me recipiant et antequam flamma comburet, deus meus ne derelinquas me deus salutaris meus,

Then say,

In nomina patris et filii et spiritus sancti Amen. exorsiso te creatura cere per illum qui solo verbo cuncta creavit quae tu in continenti expellas omnem fantasiam et omnem fallaciam et in te sit virtus altissime et luminare possis nobis coram itaque omnis timor et pauor fugiat a nobis.

That donne sprincle it with water aforesayd and fumigate it with fumigations above [56r] written, and tynd it saying,

Exorsiso te creatura ignis in nomine patris et filii et Spiritus Sancti Amen, et per primum nomen domini On a* secundum verbum quod dicitur fiat lux secundum nomen videsias in nomine sancte et indiuidue trinitatis hac teriensis Ritimisis, Ryon, Adonay, Saluagla, Salua mare manete quod tu incontinenti accipias vim et virtutem a creatore omnium creaturarum ut luminare possis corda sp[iritus] o[mnes] ut hic coram nobis appareant sine fallacia et in veritate et non cum falsitate humiles et mansueti et sis benedictus, in nomine patris et filii et S. Sancti, Amen.

Then take a lanthorne whereupon write these wordes with pen and Inke, in a compasse with capitall letters,

TETRAGRAMMATON, Sabaoth, Adonay, + Ecel, fares, recel, Ladomas,

And let the candels end be put in it, & when he should reade any thinge or consecrate or make or make [sic] a circle one of y^e fellowes must hold the candles end followinge the M^r sayinge and doeinge all solemnities as is sayed.

[Chap. 13.] Of all precepts of artes & experiments.²⁰

We command all coniureres that when they excogitate or presume to doe any worke that before the inception of any operation for the space of 9 dayes, he keepe cleanes, and within these 9 dayes he prepare all thinges necessary, and if these foresayd thinges be ordayned and consecrated, of a faithfull and trusty priest, clothes Sindone in these dayes it were of more efficacy. When you have ended custody as it is sayd before of fastinge, in the day and the howre in the chapters, of the arte, let him goe to the place [56v] ordayned doeinge as it is sayd before of places, and there let him make a circle, as it is sayd before of circles. And when they be in the circles ordayned, let the M^r injoyne such precepts to his scholers, that they moove not from there places ordayned by any occasions, if they should se great marvayles, if they should see mountaynes and towres of fyer fallinge upon them, if they should see there father and mother slayne, if they should see the world almost at an end for any adversity that they see, let them not move, for all this that we have sayd cañot hurt them.

After these many tribulations, inordinate and evill favoured nations shall come foorth, after that nations some what fayre, then shall well favanoured people come meekely and without any furor, yet let the scholers stand with there heads downwards and all shall passe by, and if they thinke it greevious to behold these thinges, let them hide there eyes with there garments, and let the M^r like a stronge man comfort them sayinge, fear ye not, for we have allmost our purpose. At the East, will come the King of Kinges, and emperour of them, and Kinges and princes and greate estates with him, and a great company bringinge with them all kinde of Instruments of sweete sownds and voyces.

And if they would passe by let the M^r say as if he were somwhat angry, Whether goe ye. Then, every one will make a great rumor and furor, and tempests and lightninge worse then in the beginninge. Then let the scholers feare [57r] nothinge and by and by the M^r shall say, Let none of you presume to goe hence. And let him shew them the pentacles and the scholers likewise, shall open there pentacles toward y^t partes.

When they have shewed the pentacles, all there furour and madnes shall cease, and then there emperour shall say from the time of Salomon, there was noe Coniurer could see my presence, if that thinges were not that ye have prepared and that ye shew unto us, and because ye compell us soe greevously I beleeve ye are of y^e progeny of Salomon or of his fellowes. Few circulators have those thinges whereby they may compell us by our hurt and against our will, we must come before thee, because we cannot defend our selves, nor say against the wordes that ye speake and for feare of the pentacles we will be obedient and subiect to thé in all thy commandements.

Then the M^r for himselfe and for his fellowes, ought to make what petitions he will, and rech [=reach] it foorth to them written, and they will take it and doe your Councell with his Kinges.

Afterward they will give thee thy petitions and will say, that y^t ye desire is donne, and incontinently they will give unto you that, that ye desire.

Then give them licence as it is sayd, in the first booke in the chapter of all artes about the ende.

[Chap. 14.] Of Penne Inke and other Colloures.²¹

When ye should write any experiment or scripture necessary for artes, ye must write it with such a penne. Take a live Gander and plucke of [off] a feather of the right winge and say in the taking of,

Arboy, narboy, nazay, [57v] Tamaray, lyonar, atamar, blyo, Daamaar, expellatis ab hac penna omnem fallaciam ut in se retineat veritatem.

Afterward make the penne with Arthana before sayd coniured, and fumigate him with fumigations above sayed, and sprincle him with water aforesayed, & then put him in such a silke cloth, as followeth. That donne take a new paire of tables, eyther of y^e earth or of hercie and write in a Compasse w^t such a needle as followeth,

Joth, heth, he, vau, Anosbias, Ja, Ja, Ja, Anereneton, Sabaoth.

And put with in incanstum new, and coniure it one this manner,

Exorcizo te creatura incansti²² per anereneton, per purem Stimulaton, et per nomen illius qui omnia potest ut tu sis in meo adiutorio ad hoc quod preperare vel operare voluero.

If ye will write, with saffron vel cinobrio²³ distempered aut azuro, or whatsoeuer collour ye will, in whatsoever horne or table they be, ever let be written with a Compasse the names aforesayed, as it is sayd and let such colloures be coniured after the manner afore sayd. Let them be fumigated with such fumigations as it is sayd, and be sprinkled with such water as above said, and write wit such a penne and incanst all thinges necessary for artes and experiments, and if they be writt otherwise, or of any other incant or coullour it would profitt nothinge and all this must be donne in dayes and howres [58r] ordinated and be put uppe untill ye worke.

[Chap. 14b.] Of the Bloud of a Becke.²⁴

Let a Becke or Dormouse be taken alive, and coniured with this coniuration,

Camach, Lamnaah, Maliah, Emach, Cathah, Marbac, Alioc Zamchac, Volmath. Adiuro te vespertillum per patrem et filium et spiritum sanctum, et per omnes coniurationes mundi, et per omnia verba eu~r de creatore in mundo quatenus sis in nostro summitio (?) et invanem.

Then say,

Ô Angeli Adonay, Eloe, et Angelem Adenel, estote in adiutorium nostrum ut propter vos impleatur summo (?).

Then take such a needle as followeth, and pricke the Becke under the right winge, and take the bloud in some cleane vessell, and say,

Adonay, araton, Ossy, heloy, heloe, helyon, esseryon, Saday, deus dominus, inenarrabilis emanuel. Ihesus Christus esto inadiutorium meum ut sanguis iste valeat in hoc quod tibi peciero et de eo quod facere voluere.

The Bloud of a Becke may be taken otherwise, et pistetur and let him be put in pecia alba and let him be quested strongly and take the bloud as it is sayed in the vessell, and let the foresayd wordes be sayd. Or els ye may cutt of his head with a glasse, and take the bloud & doe as it is sayed, and if ye should doe otherwise, ye should have noe good bloud, and of that bloud, ye must write many experiments. And if ye take not the bloud on this manner, it were nothinge worth. Whensoever ye worke, with the bloud of birdes, or of beasts, of whatsoever kinde ye take the bloud, the wordes aforesaid must be sayd over the sayd [58v] byrdes or beastes as over the becke, and ye must slay the birdes or beaste with Artano aforsaid coniured, and if ye worke otherwise, the bloud of eyther byrde or beast shall not compleate the worke.

[Chap. 14c.] Of y^e Penne or Instrument wherewith ye write the bloud.²⁵

Take of y^e right fethers of a swallow the first feather that is called cultellus, that is stronger then any other feather, and say before ye plucke him away,

O, angeli mutuel, et mumel, est in adiutorium nostrum ut cum hac penna scribere possumus omnia experimenta quae per te et in tuo nomine incipiantur et per altissimum creatorem, finiantur.

After that let him make him with a knife Artano coniured, and write upon the side of y^e penne, with such a needle as followeth, this name

Anereneton.

Then say upon y^e pen this Psalme,

Ecce quam bonum [Ps132]; Te deum.

And let him be fumigated, and sprinkled as the bloud was and put in a white cloth of silke as followeth, likewise let other Instruments be consecrated that be writt with any bloud etc.

[Chap. 15.] Of Virgiñe Papper.²⁶

In many experiments and artes, virginne paper is necessary. Virgin paper is of a beast that never had copulation male or female. Paper not borne is called that, that is drawen out of the Body of a dead beast or of a beast that is borne dead. Therefore take the paper unborne of any beast one day, and howre & beare it where noe man may see you, and have artanus [59r] with you, coniured. And finde a reede immaculate and pure and strippe him cleane, from all his leaves. And when he is mundified, say over him this coniuration,

Coniuro te Canna per q'e [quemque?] similem Christus Illusus fuerit et per idem deum qui te creauit Ita ur capias vim et virtutem in scoriando hanc cartam omnia que in fac carta scripsere ad effectum ducantur per illum qui viuit et regnat per omnia secuula seculorum Amen.

Afterward say this Psalme,

Deus Iudicium tuum [Ps71].

And cutt of at once the reede, with the foresayed artano, and make a knife of the sayd cane or reed with artano, and in the cane or reede, let these wordes be written, withe the bloud of one of ye consecrated byrdes,

Ut sup* angele, Adonay, Eloe, propter vos impleatur ***inc.

Then say this oration over the knife of y^e reede,

Deus qui per similem cannam illusus fuisti per tuam miserecordiam et pietatem presta mihi vim et virtutem per invocationem sanctorum et sanctarum tuarum et angeulorum et archangelorum tuorum ut hanc cartam facere possum quae obtineat in se virtutem et omnia que de dicta carta fient habeant effectum per eum qui te cum viuit et regnat in unitate spiritus sancti deus per omnia secula seculorum Amen.

That sayed with the sayd reed knife, beginne scoriare [*to exorcize], the foresayd beast, not brue qiu~ (?) scorias, sey[ing],

Lazay, balmay, Dalmay adonay, Saday, Tetragrammaton, agnefeton, Cedion, Orion, enereton, Athanatos, Theodomos, Kyros helyos Agyos, Theophilos; angeli sancti dei adestote et virtutem huic carte imponite que per vos consecretur taliter que omnia que in ea scribentur effectum habeant.

And with the soresayd coniured [59v] salt, ye must salt the skinne, and put him into the sonne so salted, for the space of a day, then take some earthen vessell covered and in the compasse of the vessell, write these Carecters, with pen and Inke aboue coniured.

And in the foresayed vessell put the flower calcis albe saying,

Onoy, Zoron, Lazion, Zacaryon, typhyon, alyon, occinomos, adestote et implete, hunc florem Benedictione et expellite de eo omnem fallaciam ut carta que conficietur in ea virtutem obtineat propter optatam.

Then put such water aboue saide of water, and put it in the foresaid flower of Lime, and make thereof one Lattatam and in y^t put in the foresaid skiñe [skin] that it may be made by 3. dayes. when that 3. dayes be passed, shaue away carnaceum of the skinne, and calcinacum with the sayed knife of the reede. Then make one circle of the rodde of the hasle [hazel] cutt of at one cutt with artano aboue coniured, saying these wordes before ye cutt it:

Adonay sanctissime pone virtutem huic Ligno ut siccare possit hanc cartam virginem consecratam.

Then take a threed [thread] filatum of a cleane mayde a virginne, and cause the mayde [maid] to make a longe corde, and in makinge the corde let her say, Pater Noster. Afterward [60r] fetch little round stones, one the fresh water banke, & in gatheringe them say, these wordes,

Tetragrammaton fortis et sanctissime pone in his lapillis virtutem et curare possint cartam istam et omnem fallaciam de ipsis eiicias · ut ipsa carta per optatam possit obtinere virtutem.

Then binde that paper in the said circle with the said corde and stones sayinge,

Agla, Ioth, heth, he, vau, el, emanuel, adestote ad ligandum hanc cartam et custodiatis ipsam ut nulla fallacia intrare possit in ea.

And soe let him say in the shadow in thy howse secretly, that the ayre rediat eam by 3 dayes. And when ye have put him downe to dry, sprincle him with water and Isope, as it is sayed of Isope and water sayinge,

In nomine patris et filii et S. S^ti Amen etc,.

Asperge ipsam domine Isope et mundetur ab omni nequitia et super nivem deabbetur, [cp. Asparges me hysopo et mundabor lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor (Ps50:9).]

And 3 dayes passed, let it be come from the circle with artano, sayinge,

Ancor, anacor, amlos, Theodomos, Phagor, adestote in custodia huius carte.

Then fumigate it with fumigations ut supra, and put him uppe in such a cleane cloth, as followeth of silk.

And by any meanes let no woman see the sayd paper, and ye doers of this arte, must be cleane and pure as it becommeth them. And if the virginne paper be made other wise then it is sayd, any experiment that is written in the paper shall never come to effect.

[In marg:] [Cartha]m Virg. ***m^t

If ye thinke it paynefull, to make virginne paper after this manner aforesayed, Take virginne paper made ready as other papers, be of whatsoever beast it will. Coniure it after the manner followinge, [60v] but it is not of soe greate effect, as that other paper aforesayd, makinge a fumigation odoriferous spices as abouesaid of fumigations, and put them in an earthen cuppe, in whose circuite let these carecters be written of such penne and Inke as is aforesaid:

And hold the paper in your hand ouer the fumigation sayinge,

Angege, adonay, eloe, esto mihi in adiutorium et propter vos impleator.

Then let him say pater noster. After that let him say,

Lazay, Salmay, Dalmay, Adonay, Saday, Tetragrammaton, anepheneton, Cedyon, Aryon, Anereneton, Athanatos, Theos, Theodomos, anilos, pes, kyros, abos, Theophilos, Onoy, Zoron, Largon, Lazaryon, Theophilon, Tisyon, Alyon, Occinomos, Zacharion, Sydion, Agla, Joth, heth, he, vau, el, emanuel, Ja ^. Ja, Vah, ancor, anilos, Theodonas angeli sancti dei adestote et virtutem huic carte imponite et per vos consecretur Taliter quae omnia que scribentur in ea in se rei obtineat virtutem et omnis fallacia in se extra ipsas cartas effugiat coadiuvante patre et filio et spiritu sancto, Amen.

Then say these Psalmes,

Deus Iudicium [Ps71]; te deum; laudate dominum [Ps116]; ecce nunc [Ps133]; Benedicite [Ad36674 and Mathers add 'opera omnia'] [i.e., The Song of the Three Children, Daniel 3:57ff].

And then say this coniuration,

Coniuro te carta per ista verba que dicuntur de creatore per illum qui potest tribuere [61r] et auersare quatenus in te obtineas virtutem que omnia que super te scribentur ad effectum perduci valeant et que omnis fallacia exeat de te et inte intret omnis veritas sine mora.

Then let him be sprincled of the foresayd water coniured and put it in such a cloth cleane as followeth of silke cloth, and of such paper as appeareth in many experiments and artes and because experiments be not thus ordayned they come to noe effect.

[Chap. 15b.] Of Virginne Wax.²⁷

In many artes and experiments, wax or earth is occupied in makinge Images or Candelss or other nessesaries. It is to be noted that if any Image be of wax, or of earth, and that it is made be of virginall and cleane, and the matter that y^e wax or earth cometh of, be corrupted, the Images shall have noe place. The virginne wax is of bees that never made fauos [i.e. honeycombs]. The virginne earth is that, y^t is under y^e earth nye the water like clay. If any man will worke, with earth or wax, whether it be virginne wax or noe, before he beginne his operation, let him say, this Coniuration over it,

Exorcerabor, excitabor, visitabor, Adonay, Lazomon, Meryonon, Asmmdali Iamtali, Cosnnas, deassmas, alionas, centnnas, preperaridos, orriados, narbonndas alamay, tachay, cophay, carnay, equent [equment?], dalynant, vernant compones, Sties, galidos, lyonides, Crophilidos, adestote in meum adiutorium quia vos invoco in meo opere et per vos incipio, et per vos finiatur,

That said, beginne to say these Psalmes,

²⁸† Domine non est expellatum [Ps130]; † Domine quis habitavit [Ps14]; † Domine exaudi [Ps101 and Ps142 both start with these words]; [61v] † Domine dominus noster [Ps8]; † Quam dilecta [Ps83]; † Expurgat deus; [sic! *exsurgat deus] [Ps67] † Beati immacu'lati; † Deus' deorum; †† Deus in nomine tuo; † Deus Iudicium; † Ecce quam' bonum; † In ex'itu; † In Convert'endo [Ps125]; † Om'nes gentes; † Deus deus m'eus respice; †† Beati quo'rum; | † m'iserere mei deus secundum; † De p'rofundis; † Domine probasti.

Then make three masses to be song over the wax or earth, and take and fumigate it with fumigations coniured saying,

Coniuro et admoneo te cera per patrem omnipotentem qui cuncta ex nihilo creauit, et per invocationem sanctorum et sanctarum tuarum et angelorum et archangelorum ponas virtutem huic cere et in nomine tuo sanctificetur et beneficetur ut virtutem obtineat quam obtamus.

Then sprincle it with y^e water above wheresaid, and as oft as ye will, make any operation of wax, or of earth before the inception of your worke, ever doe as it is sayd in this chapter aforesaid, if ye will bringe your experiment to effect.

[Chap 18.] Of y^e Needle or Instrument of Iron.²⁹

There be many instruments donne with a Needle that we have spoken of, upon Jupiters day and his houre, make a needle or a poyntle of Iron but let it not be completed that houre, but upon Venus day and her houre let him be completed, and bringe him to some privye place, and say over him,

[22. Of the work of images.]³⁴

Let noe man marvayle of this chapter for all the science of this booke is contayned in this chapter and therefore he did assimulate this title of the Images of Astrologye which be innumerable, for it seemeth impossible to collect the science of this booke in one.

First ye must consider that noe experiment whether he be smale or greate can be made and therefore the makers of artes and experiments that knoweth not this booke can never come to effect of any thinge. Therefore it seemeth as a worke of Images to reade this worke but he must reade from the beginninge to the ending if ye will bringe any experiment to effect. Therefore I desire him that shall have this worke, that he deliver it to noe man, for the more he reade in artes and experiments the lesse he shall know, if he [65v] keepe not this holy worke with a pure heart if ye will be perfect in this science.

First ye must exercise in the beginninge of the operation of this worke, on day and in his howre in the augmenting of the moon. Prepare artanus such as we spake of before, in the chapters of knyfes, and prepare artanus and tarry for the day of mercury and his howre in the augmentinge of the moone, and prepare water and Isope soe as we have said. And that in any day of mercury and his howre in the augmentinge of the moone, prepare for the silke cloth as it is sayd.

All this prepared, any Chapter of this booke that ye will make, looke for mercuryes day and his howre in the augm^t of the moone and in that houre make all thinges ready that is contayned in that Chapter. And when ye will consecrate any thinge, of any other chapter, let it be in a secret place as it is said [66r] above of places, and that houre have potts prepared with coles and spices coniured, and candles coniured makinge a fumigation and have lightes, and water and Isope prepared, and when ye will consecrate any chapter, when it is consecrated put it uppe in such a cloth as we have said, and soe of every chapter, and when all thinges be collected consecrated and prepared, then put them all in a silke cloth, and cause 9 masses to be sayed over them. Then ye must looke for the day and the houre wherein ye must beginne and end, and that, that shall be necessary in this arte, ye shall take them without the cloth without any solemnitie, and when ye have wrought, put them in the cloth and soe of all other artes.

And therefore in this Chapter is breefly comprehended all the Science of this booke, and in it is the beginninge and endinge of the Clavicle of Salomon, wherefore ye must keepe this booke secrett.
