Homerical Magick which teacheth the operations by the Spirits called Cacodaemones as it were not adversaries to mankinde The fifth is Romane or Sibylline Magick which acteth and operates with Tutelar Spirits and Lords to whom the whole Orb of the earth is distributed This is valde insignis Magia To this also is the doctrine of the Druids referred The sixth is Pythagorical Magick which only acteth with Spirits to whom is given the doctrine of Arts as Physick Medicines Mathematicks Alchymie and such kinde of Arts. The seventh is the Magick of Apollonius and the like and agreeth with the Romane and Microcosmical Magick only it hath this thing peculiar that it hath power over the hostile spirits of mankinde The eighth is Hermetical that is Aegyptiacal Magick and differeth not much from Divine Magick The ninth is that wisdom which dependeth solely upon the Word of God and this is called Prophetical Magick The first Tome of the Book of Arbatel of Magick CALLED ISAGOGE IN the Name of the Creator of all things both visible and invisible who revealeth his Mysteries out of his Treasures to them that call upon him and fatherly and mercifully bestoweth those his Secrets upon us without measure May he grant unto us through his only begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord his ministring spirits the revealers of his secrets that we may write this Book of Arbatel concerning the greatest Secrets which are lawful for man to know and to use them without offence unto God Amen The first Septenary of Aphorisms The first Aphorism Whosoever would know Secrets let him know how to keep secret things secretly and to reveal those things that are to be revealed and to seal those things which are to be sealed and not to give holy things to dogs nor cast pearls before swine Observe this Law and the eyes of thy Understanding shall be opened to understand secret things and thou shalt have whatsoever thy minde desireth to be divinely revealed unto thee Thou shalt have also the Angels and Spirits of God prompt and ready in their nature to minister unto thee as much as any humane minde can desire Aphor. 2. In all things call upon the Name of the Lord and without prayer unto God through his only begotten Son do not thou undertake to do or think any thing And use the Spirits given and attributed unto thee as Ministers without rashness and presumption as the messengers of God having a due reverence towards the Lord of Spirits And the remainder of thy life do thou accomplish demeaning thy self peaceably to the honour of God and the profit of thy self and thy neighbour Aphor. 3. Live to thy self and the Muses avoid the friendship of the Multitude be thou covetous of time beneficial to all men Use thy Gifts be vigilant in thy Calling and let the Word of God never depart from thy mouth Aphor. 4. Be obedient to good Admonitions avoid all procrastination accustom thy self to Constancie and Gravity both in thy words and deeds Resist the temptations of the Tempter by the Word of God Flee from earthly things seek after heavenly things Put no confidence in thy own wisdom but look unto God in all things according to that sentence of the Scripture When we know not what we shall do unto thee O God do we lift up our eyes and from thee we expect our help For where all humane refuges do forsake us there will the help of God shine forth according to the saying of Philo. Aphor. 5. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy stength and thy neighbour as thy self And the Lord will keep thee as the apple of his eye and will deliver thee from all evil and will replenish thee with all good and nothing shall thy soul desire but thou shalt be fully endued therewith so that it be contingent to the salvation of thy soul and body Aphor. 6. Whatsoever thou hast learned frequently repeat and six the same in thy minde and learn much but not many things because a humane understanding cannot be alike capable in all things unless it be such a one that is divinely regenerated unto him nothing is so difficult or manifold which he may not be able equally to attain to Aphor. 7. Call upon me in the day of trouble and I will hear thee and thou shalt glorifie me saith the Lord. For all Ignorance is tribulation of the minde therefore call upon the Lord in thy ignorance and he will hear thee And remember that thou give honour unto God and say with the Psalmist Not unto us Lord not unto us but unto thy Name give the glory The second Septenary Aphor. 8. Even as the Scripture testifies that God appointeth names to things or persons and also with them hath distributed certain powers and offices out of his treasures so the Characters and Names of Stars have not any power by reason of their figure or pronunciation but by reason of the vertue or office which God hath ordained by nature either to such a Name or Character For there is no power either in heaven or in earth or hell which doth not descend from God and without his permission they can neither give or draw forth into any action any thing they have Aphor. 9. That is the chiefest wisdom which is from God and next that which is in spiritual creatures afterwards in corporal creatures fourthly in Nature and natural things The Spirits that are apostate and reserved to the last judgement do follow these after a long interval Sixthly the ministers of punishments in hell and the obedient unto God Seventhly the Pigmies do not possess the lowest place and they who inhabit in elements and elementary things It is convenient therefore to know and discern all differences of the wisdom of the Creator and the Creatures that it may be certainly manifest unto us what we ought to assume to our use of every thing and that we may know in truth how and in what manner that may be done For truly every creature is ordained for some profitable end to humane nature and for the service thereof as the holy Scriptures Reason and Experience do testifie Aphor. 10. God the Father Almighty Creator of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible in the holy Scriptures proposeth himself to have an eye over us and as a tender father which loveth his children he teacheth us what is profitable and what not what we are to avoid and what we are to embrace then he allureth us to obedience with great promises of corporal and eternal benefits and deterreth us with threatning of punishments from those things which are not profitable for us Turn over therefore with thy hand both night and day those holy Writings that thou mayst be happy in things present and blessed to all eternity Do this and thou shalt live which the holy Books have taught thee Aphor. 11. A number of Four is Pythagorical and the first Quadrate therefore

ungodly wicked or unjust nor to let it once come in his minde and so he shall be divinely defended from all evil Aphor. 40. When the Magician determineth with himself to do any incorporeal thing either with any exteriour or interiour sense then let him govern himself according to these seven subsequent laws to accomplish his Magical end The first Law is this That he know that such a Spirit is ordained unto him from God and let him meditate that God is the beholder of all his thoughts and actions therefore let him direct all the course of his life according to the rule prescribed in the word of God Secondly Alwaies pray with David Take not thy holy Spirit from me and strengthen me with thy free Spirit and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil I beseech thee O heavenly Father do not give power unto any lying Spirit as thou didst over Ahab that he perished but keep me in thy truth Amen Thirdly Let him accustome himself to try the Spirits as the Scripture admonisheth for grapes cannot be gathered of thorns let us try all things and hold fast that which is good and laudable that we may avoid every thing that is repugnant to the divine power The fourth is To be remote and clear from all manner of superstition for this is superstition to attribute divinity in this place to things wherein there is nothing at all divine or to chuse or frame to our selves to worship God with some kinde of worship which he hath not commanded such are the Magical ceremonies of Satan whereby he impudently offereth himself to be worshipped as God The fifth thing to be eschewed is all worship of Idols which bindeth any divine power to idols or other things of their own proper motion where they are not placed by the Creator or by the order of Nature which things many false and wicked Magicians faign Sixthly All the deceitful imitations and affections of the devil are also to be avoided whereby he imitateth the power of the creation and of the Creator that he may so produce things with a word that they may not be what they are Which belongeth onely to the omnipotency of God and is not communicable to the creature Seventhly Let us cleave fast to the gifts of God and of his holy Spirit that we may know them and diligently embrace them with our whole heart and all our strength Aphor. 41. We come now to the nine last Aphorismes of this whole Tome wherewith we will the divine mercy assisting us conclude this whole Magical Isagoge Therefore in the first place it is to be observed what we understand by Magician in this work Him then we count to be a Magician to whom by the grace of God the spiritual essences do serve to manifest the knowledge of the whole universe and of the secrets of Nature contained therein whether they are visible or invisible This description of a Magician plainly appeareth and is universal An evil Magician is he whom by the divine permission the evil Spirits do serve to his temporal and eternal destruction and perdition to deceive men and draw them away from God such was Simon Magus of whom mention is made in the Acts of the Apostles and in Clemens whom St. Peter commanded to be thrown down upon the earth when as he had commanded himself as it were a God to be raised up into the air by the unclean Spirits Unto this order are also to be referred all those who are noted in the two Tables of the Law and are set forth with their evil deeds The subdivisions and species of both kindes of Magick we will note in the Tomes following In this place it shall suffice that we distinguish the Sciences which is good and which is evil Whereas man sought to obtain them both at first to his own ruine and destruction as Moses and Hermes do demonstrate Aphor. 42. Secondly we are to know That a Magician is a person predestinated to this work from his mothers wombe neither let him assume any such great things to himself unless he be called divinely by grace hereunto for some good end to a bad end is that the Scripture might be fulfilled It must be that offences will come but wo be to that man through whom they come Therefore as we have before oftentimes admonished With fear and trembling we must live in this world Notwithstanding I will not deny but that some men may with study and diligence obtain some species of both kindes of Magick if it may be admitted But he shall never aspire to the highest kindes thereof yet if he covet to assail them he shall doubtless offend both in soul and body Such are they who by the operations of false Magicians are sometimes carried to Mount Horeb or in some wilderness or desarts or they are maimed in some member or are simply torn in pieces or are deprived of their understanding even as many such things happen by the use thereof where men are forsaken by God and delivered to the power of Satan The seventh Septenary Aphor. 43. The Lord liveth and the works of God do live in him by his appointment whereby he willeth them to be for he will have them to use their liberty in obedience to his commands or disobedience thereof To the obedient he hath proposed their rewards to the disobedient he hath propounded their deserved punishment Therefore these Spirits of their free-will through their pride and contempt of the Son of God have revolted from God their Creator and are reserved unto the day of wrath and there is left in them a very great power in the creation but notwithstanding it is limited and they are confined to their bounds with the bridle of God Therefore the Magician of God which signifies a wise man of God or one informed of God is led forth by the hand of God unto all everlasting good both mean things and also the chiefest corporal things Great is the power of Satan by reason of the great sins of men Therefore also the Magicians of Satan do perform great things and greater then any man would believe although they do subsist in their own limits nevertheless they are above all humane apprehension as to the corporal and transitory things of this life which many ancient Histories and daily Examples do testifie Both kindes of Magick are different one from the other in their ends the one leadeth to eternal good and useth temporal things with thanksgiving the other is a little sollicitous about eternal things but wholly exerciseth himself about corporal things that he may freely enjoy all his lusts and delights in contempt of God and his anger Aphor. 44. The passage from the common life of man unto a Magical life is no other but a sleep from that life and an awaking to this life for those things which happen to ignorant and unwise men in their common life the same things happen to the willing and knowing
