Δ - Uriel cam in agayne, and an other with him, and iointly they two sayde togither, Glorify God for euer. [And Now Uriel stode behind, & the other sat down in the chayr, with a sword in his right hand. All his hed glistred like the sonne: his heare of his hed was long. He had wyngs: & all his lower parts semed to be with feathers. He had a robe over his body: & a great light in his left hand. he sayd

We are blessed from the begynning: and blessed be the Name of God for euer.

Δ - An innumerable Cumpany of Angels were abowt him: & Uriel did leane on the square table by: He that sat in the Chayre, sayde then:

Mich[ael]: Go forward. God hath blessed thee. I will be thy Guyde. Thow shalt atteyn unto thy serching.
The world begynns with thy doings.
Prayse God.
The Angels under my powre shall be at thy Commanndement. Lo, I will do thus much for thee. Thow shalt see me, I wilbe seen of thee: And I will direct thy liuing & conversation. Those that sowght thy life are vanished away.

Put up thy pen.

— Now Uriel Michael thrust out his right arme, with the sworde: & bad the Skryer to loke. Then his sword did seme to cleave in two: & a great fyre flamed out of it vehemently. Then he toke a ring out of the flame of his sworde: & gave it to Uriel, and sayd, The strength of God is unspeakable. Praysed be god for ever and ever. Then Uriel did make cursy to him.

Mich. — After this sort must thy ring be. Note it.

Mi: I will reveale thee this ring: which was never revealed, since the death of Salomon: with whom I was present. I was present with him in strength, [25r] <in strength,> & mercy. Lo this it is. This it is, wherewith, all miracles and divine works and wonders were wrowght by Salomon. This it is which I have revealed unto thee. This it is which Philosophy dreameth of. This it is which the Angels skarse know. This it is: and blessed be his name. Yea his name be blessed for ever. &c.

Δ - Then he layd the ring down uppon the Table and sayd, Note. &c.

[Δ - I noted the ring {...}s in all points.]

After that he threw the ring down uppon the Table, and it semed to fall throwgh the Table.

Michael — So shall it do at thy Commandement. Without this thow shallt do Nothing. Blessed be his Name, that cumpasseth all things: Wonders are in him, & his Name is Wonderfull. His name worketh wonders from Generation, to Generation.

Mi. — Note. Δ — Then he browght in the seale, which he shewed the other daye: and opened his sword: and bad the Skryer, reade: and he Red, EMETH

Then the Sworde closed up again: & he sayd [Mi: — This I do open unto thee, bycause, thow marvayldst at Sigillum Dei. This is the Name of the seale: which be blessed for ever. This is the seale self. This is holy. This is pure. This is for ever. Amen.

Mich. As truely as I was with Salomon, so truely will I be with thee. &c. I was with Salomon in all his works and wunders.

Use me, in the name of god, for all occasions.

Δ - The chayre was browght in agayne and I axed what it ment?

Ur[iel]: This is a seat of perfection: from the which, things shall be shewed unto thee which thow hast long desyred.

Δ - Than was there a square Table browght into the Stone. And I demanded, what that Table betokened.

Ur[iel]: - A Mysterie not yet to be knowne. These two shall remayne in the stone, to the sight of all undefyled creatures.

You must use a fowre square Table, two Cubits s{quare,} whereuppon must be set Sigillum ^^Dei Divinatis.

This seale must not be loked uppon, without great reverence & devotion.

This seale is to be made of perfect wax.

This seale must be 9 ynches square.*

The rowndness must be 27 ynches & somwhat more. The thiknes of it must be an ynch & a half quarter, and a figure of a Crosse, must be on the backside of it, made thus:

The Table is to be made of swete wood: & of two Cubits high: with 4 fete with 4 of the former seales under the 4 feete.

Under the Table did seame to be layd red silk two yards square, And over the seale, did seame likewise red sylk to lye fowr square broader then the Table, hanging down with 4 k{nopps} or tassels at the 4 corners therof.

Uppon this uppermost red silk did seme the stone with the frame to be set: right over & u{ppon} the principall seale: Saving that the sayd sylk was betwene the one, & the other.

Of the Title & generall {con}tents of this boke

{No}w you towche the world, and thy doings uppon Earth. Now we shew unto you the lower world. The Governors that work and rule under god. By whome you may have power to work such things as shalbe to Gods glory & profit of your Cuntry, and the knowledge of his Creatures &c.

We procede to One God, one knowledg, One Operation.

Venite filiae.

Behold these Tables. Herein ly theyr Names, that work under god uppon earth. Not of the wicked, but of the Angels of Light. The whole government doth consist in the hands of 49 (in God his powre, strength, mercy, and Justice) whose Names are here evydent, excellent, & glorious. Mark these Tables, Mark them, Record them to your Cumfort. This is the first knowledge. Here shall you have wisdome. Halleluyah.

Mighty and Omnipotent art thow o god, God, God, amongst thy Creatures. Thow fillest all things, with thy excellent foresight. Thy Glory be amongst us for ever. — Δ. Amen.

One of those 7 Dowghters¹ stept furth and sayd

{Blum}aza 2 — An other sayd, The exaltation & government of Princes is in my hand. pointing to that on the left hand of the 2 uppermost.

{..}es 3 — In cownsayle & Nobilitie I prevayle.] pointing to the other of the two uppermost, which is on the right hand.

• The third, Robes.
• The 4^th Animal quadrupes vicium omnim colorum.
• The fifth, Herbes.
• The sixth, a fanne.
• The seventh, a flame of fyre in her hand.

Mich. Decedite in nomine eius, qui vos huc misit.

[26v]

Ur. The fowntayne of wisdome is opened: Nature shall {be knowne.}
Erth with her secrets disclosed.
The Elements with theyr powres iudged &c.

Ur — Behold I teache: There are 49 Angels glorious &d excell{ent:} appointed for the government of all earthly Actions: which 4, do work & dispose the will of the Creator: Limited from the begynning, in strength, powr, & glory. These shalbe subject unto you. In the Name & by Invocating uppon the name of god: who doth lighten, dispose & cumfort you. &c.

By them shall you work &c.

Take hede thow abuse not this excellency, nor overshaddow it with vanyty. But stick firmely, absolutely, and perfectly in the love of God (for his honor) togither.

What doth the heaven behold, or the erth conteyne, that is not, or may be subdued, formed and made by these? What lerning grownded uppon wisdome, with the excellencies in Nature, cannot they manifest?

One in heven they know:
One, and all in man they know:
One and all in Earth they know.

Measure heven by a parte (my meaning is, by these few).

Let God be glorified: His name praysed: His Creation well taken: and his Creatures well used.
