here let us place the foundation of all wisdom after the wisdom of God revealed in the holy Scriptures and to the Considerations proposed in Nature Appoint therefore to him who solely dependeth upon God the wisdom of every creature to serve and obey him nolens volens willing or unwilling And in this the Omnipotency of God shineth forth It consisteth therefore in this that we will discern the creatures which serve us from those that are unwilling and that we may learn how to accommodate the wisdom and offices of every creature unto our selves This Art is not delivered but divinely Unto whom God will he revealeth his secrets but to whom he will not bestow any thing out of his treasuries that person shall attain to nothing without the will of God Therefore we ought truly to desire 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from God alone which will mercifully impart these things unto us For he who hath given us his Son and commanded us to pray for his holy Spirit How much more will he subject unto us the whole creature and things visible and invisible Whatsoever ye ask ye shall receive Beware that ye do not abuse the gifts of God and all things shall work together unto you for your salvation And before all things be watchful in this That your names be written in Heaven this is more light That the spirits be obedient unto you as Christ admonisheth Aphor. 12. In the Acts of the Apostles the Spirit saith unto Peter after the Vision Go down and doubt not but I have sent them when he was sent for from Cornelius the Centurion After this manner in vocal words are all disciplines delivered by the holy Angels of God as it appeareth out of the Monuments of the Aegyptians And these things afterwards were vitiated and corrupted with humane opinions and by the instigation of evil spirits who sow tares amongst the children of disobedience as it is manifest out of St. Paul and Hermes Trismegistus There is no other manner of restoring these Arts then by the doctrine of the holy Spirits of God because true faith cometh by hearing But because thou mayst be certain of the truth and mayst not doubt whether the spirits that speak with thee do declare things true or false let it only depend upon thy faith in God that thou mayst say with Paul I know on whom I trust If no sparrow can fall to the ground without the will of the Father which is in heaven How much more will not God suffer thee to be deceived O thou of little faith if thou dependest wholly upon God and adherest only to him Aphor. 13. The Lord liveth and all things which live do live in him And he is truly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 who hath given unto all things that they be that which they are and by his word alone through his Son hath produced all things out of nothing which are in being He calleth all the stars and all the host of heaven by their names He therefore knoweth the true strength and nature of things the order and policy of every creature visible and invisible to whom God hath revealed the names of his creatures It remaineth also that he receive power from God to extract the vertues in nature and hidden secrets of the creature and to produce their power into action out of darkness into light Thy scope therefore ought to be that thou have the names of the Spirits that is their powers and offices and how they are subjected and appointed by God to minister unto thee even as Raphael was sent to Tobias that he should heal his father and deliver his son from dangers and bring him to a wife So Michael the fortitude of God governeth the people of God Gabriel the messenger of God was sent to Daniel Mary and Zachary the father of John Baptist And he shall be given to thee that desirest him who will teach thee whatsoever thy soul shall desire in the nature of things His ministry thou shalt use with trembling and fear of thy Creator Redeemer and Sanctifier that is to say the Father Son and holy Ghost and do not thou let slip any occasion of learning and be vigilant in thy calling and thou shalt want nothing that is necessary for thee Aphor. 14. Thy soul liveth for ever through him that hath created thee call therefore upon the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve This thou shalt do if thou wilt perform that end for which thou art ordained of God and what thou owest to God and to thy neighbour God requireth of thee a minde that thou shouldst honour his Son and keep the words of his Son in thy heart if thou honour him thou hast done the will of thy Father which is in heaven To thy neighbour thou owest offices of humanity and that thou draw all men that come to thee to honour the Son This is the Law and the Prophets In temporal things thou oughtest to call upon God as a father that he would give unto thee all necessaries of this life and thou oughtest to help thy neighbour with the gifts which God bestoweth upon thee whether they be spiritual or corporal Therefore thou shalt pray thus O Lord of Heaven and Earth Creator and Maker of all things visible and invisible I though unworthy by thy assistance call upon thee through thy only begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord that thou wilt give unto me thy holy Spirit to direct me in thy truth unto all good Amen Because I earnestly desire perfectly to know the Arts of this life and such things as are necessary for us which are so overwhelmed in darkness and polluted with infinite humane opinions that I of my own power can attain to no knowledge in them unless thou teach it me Grant me therefore one of thy spirits who may teach me those things which thou wouldst have me to know and learn to thy praise and glory and the profit of our neighbour Give me also an apt and teachable heart that I may easily understand those things which thou shalt teach me and may hide them in my understanding that I may bring them forth at out of thy inexhaustible treasures to all necessary uses And give me grace that I may use such thy gifts humbly with fear and trembling through our Lord Jesus Christ with thy holy Spirit Amen The third Septenary Aphor. 15. They are called Olympick spirits which do inhabit in the firmament and in the stars of the firmament and the office of these spirits is to declare Destinies and to administer fatal Charms so far forth as God pleaseth to permit them for nothing neither evil spirit nor evil Destiny shall be able to hurt him who hath the most High for his refuge If therefore any of the Olympick spirits shall teach or declare that which his star to which he is appointed portendeth nevertheless he can bring forth nothing into action unless he be permitted by the Divine power It
newer family which may be illustrious and do great things 3. The third is to excel in military affairs and happily to atchieve to great things and to be an head of the head of Kings and Princes 4. To be a good house-keeper both in the Country and City 5. The fifth is to be an industrious and fortunate Merchant 6. To be a Philosopher Mathematician and Physitian according to Aristotle Plato Ptolomy Euclides Hippocrates and Galen 7. To be a Divine according to the Bible and Schooles which all writers of divinity both old and new have taught Aphor. 25. We have already declared what a secret is the kindes and species thereof it remaineth now to shew how we may attain to know those things which we desire The true and onely way to all secrets is to have recourse unto God the Author of all good and as Christ teacheth In the first place seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you 2 Also see that your hearts be not burthened with surfeting and drunkenness and the cares of this life 3. Also commit your cares unto the Lord and he will do it 4. Also I the Lord thy God do teach thee what things are profitable for thee and do guide thee in the way wherein thou walkest 5. And I will give thee understanding and will teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go and I will guide thee with my eye 6. Also if you which are evil know how to give good things to your children how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give his holy Spirit to them that ask him If you will do the will of my Father which is in heaven ye are truely my disciples and we will come unto you and make our abode with you If you draw these seven places of Scripture from the letter unto the Spirit or into action thou canst not erre but shalt attain to the desired bound thou shalt not erre from the mark and God himself by his holy Spirit will teach thee true and profitable things he will give also his ministring Angels unto thee to be thy companions helpers and teachers of all the secrets of the world and he will command every creature to be obedient unto thee so that cheerfully rejoycing thou maist say with the Apostles That the Spirits are obedient unto thee so that at length thou shalt be certain of the greatest thing of all That thy name is written in Heaven Aphor. 26. There is another way which is more common that secrets may be revealed unto thee also when thou art unwitting thereof either by God or by Spirits which have secrets in their power or by dreams or by strong imaginations and impressions or by the constellation of a nativity by celestial knowledge After this manner are made heroick men such as there are very many and all learned men in the world Plato Aristotle Hippocrates Galen Euclide Archimedes Hermes Trismegistus the father of secrets with Theophrastus Paracelsus all which men had in themselves all the vertues of secrets Hitherto also are referred Homer Hesiod Orpheus Pythagoras but these had not such gifts of secrets as the former To this are referred the Nymphes and sons of Melusina and Gods of the Gentiles Achilles Aeneas Hercules also Cyrus Alexander the great Julius Caesar Lucullus Sylla Marius It is a Canon That every one know his own Angel and that he obey him according to the Word of God and let him beware of the snares of the evil Angel lest he be involved in the calamities of Brute and Marcus Antonius To this refer the book of Jovianus Pontanus of Fortune and his Eutiches The third way is diligent and hard labor without which no great thing can be obtained from the divine Deity worthy admiration as it is said Tu nihil invita dices faciésve Minerva Nothing canst thou do or say against Minerva's will We do detest all evil Magicians who make themselves associates with the devils with their unlawful superstitions and do obtain and effect some things which God permitteth to be done instead of the punishment of the devils So also they do other evil acts the devil being the author as the Scriptures testifie of Judas To these are referred all idolaters of old and of our age and abusers of Fortune such as the heathens are full of And to these do appertain all Charontick evocation of Spirits as the work of Saul with the woman and Lucanus prophesie of the deceased souldier concerning the event of the Pharsalian war and the like Aphor. 27. Make a Circle with a center A which is B. C. D. E. At the East let there be B. C. a square At the North C. D. At the west D. E. And at the South E. D. Divide the several quadrants into seven parts that there may be in the whole 28 parts and let them be again divided into four parts that there may be 112 parts of the Circle and so many are the true secrets to be revealed And this Circle in this maner divided is the seal of the secrets of the world which they draw from the onely center A that is from the invisible God unto the whole creature The Prince of the Oriental secrets is resident in the middle and hath three Nobles on either side every one whereof hath four under him and the Prince himself hath four appertaining unto him And in this manner the other princes and nobles have their quadrants of secrets with their four secrets But the Oriental secret is the study of all wisdome The West of strength The South of tillage The North of more rigid life So that the Eastern secrets are commended to be the best the Meridian to be mean and the East and North to be lesser The use of this seal of secrets is that thereby thou maist know whence the Spirits or Angels are produced which may teach the secrets delivered unto them from God But they have names taken from their offices and powers according to the gift which God hath severally distributed to every one of them One hath the power of the sword another of the pestilence and another of inflicting famine upon the people as it is ordained by God Some are destroyers of Cities as those two were who were sent to overthrow Sodom and Gomorrha and the places adjacent examples whereof the holy Scripture witnesseth Some are the watch-men over Kingdoms others the keepers of private persons and from thence any one may easily form their names in his own language so that he which will may ask a physical Angel mathematical or philosophical or an Angel of civil wisdom or of supernatural or natural wisdome or for any thing whatsoever and let him ask seriously with a great desire of his mind and with faith and constancy and without doubt that which he asketh he shall receive from the Father and God of all Spirits This faith surmounteth all seals and bringeth them
Bodies It is also to be understood That those who are desirous to raise up any Souls of the dead they ought to do it in those places wherein these kinde of Souls are most known to be conversant or for some alliance alluring those souls into their forsaken body or for some kinde of affection in times past impressed in them in their life drawing the said Souls to certain places things or persons or for the forcible nature of some place fitted and prepared for to purge or punish these souls Which places for the most part are to be known by the experience of visions nightly incursions and apparitions and such-like prodigies seen Therefore the places most fitting for these things are Church-yards And better then them are those places wherein there is the execution of criminal judgements And better then these are those places in which of late yeers there have been some publick slaughters of men Furthermore that place is better then these where some dead carkass that came by violent death is not yet expiated nor ritely buried and was lately buried for the expiation of those places is also a holy Rite duly to be adhibited to the burial of the bodies and oftentimes prohibiteth the souls to come unto their bodies and expelleth them far off unto the places of judgement And from hence it is That the Souls of the dead are not easily to be raised up except it be the Souls of them whom we know to be evil or to have perished by a violent death and whose bodies do want a right and due burial Now although we have spoken concerning such places of this kinde it will not be safe or commodious to go unto them but it behoveth us to take to what place soever is to be chosen some principal part of the body that is relict and therewith to make a perfume in due manner and to performe other competent Rites It is also to be known that because the Souls are certain spiritual lights therefore artificial lights especially if they be framed out of certain competent things compounded according to a true rule with congruent inscriptions of Names and Seals do very much avail to the raising up of departed Souls Moreover these things which are now spoken of are not alwayes sufficient to raise up Souls because of an extranatural portion of understanding and reason which is above and known onely to the Heaven and Destinies and their power We ought therefore to allure the said Souls by supernatural and coelestial powers duely administred even by those things which do move the very harmony of the Soul aswel imaginative as rational and intellectual as are Voices Songs Sounds Inchantments and Religious things as Prayers Conjurations Exorcismes and other holy Rites which may very commodiously be administred hereunto The end of the fourth book of Agrippa Heptameron OR MAGICAL ELEMENTS OF PETER de ABANO PHILOSOPHER IN the former book which is the fourth book of Agrippa it is sufficiently spoken concerning Magical Ceremonies and Initiations But because he seemeth to have written to the learned and well-experienced in this Art because he doth not specially treat of the Ceremonies but rather speaketh of them in general it was therefore thought good to adde hereunto the Magical Elements of Peter de Abano that those who are hitherto ignorant and have not tasted of Magical Superstitions may have them in readiness how they may exercise themselves therein For we see in this book as it were a certain introduction of Magical vanity and as it were in present exercise they may behold the distinct functions of spirits how they may be drawn to discourse and communication what is to be done every day and every hour and how they shall be read as if they were described sillable by sillable In brief in this book are kept the principles of Magical conveyances But decause the greatest power is attributed to the Circles For they are certain fortresses to defend the operators safe from the evil Spirits In the first place we will treat concerning the composition of a Circle Of the Circle and the composition thereof THe form of Circles is not alwayes one and the same but useth to be changed according to the order of the Spirits that are to be called their places times daies and hours For in making a Circle it ought to be considered in what time of the year what day and what hour that you make the Circle what Spirits you would call to what Star and Region they do belong and what functions they have Therefore let there be made three Circles of the latitude of nine foot and let them be distant one from another a hands breadth and in the middle Circle first write the name of the hour wherein you do the work In the second place Write the name of the Angel of the hour In the third place The sigil of the Angel of the hour Fourthly The name of the Angel that ruleth that day wherein you do the work and the names of his Ministers In the fifth place The name of the present time Sixthly The name of the Spirits ruling in that part of time and their Presidents Seventhly The name of the head of the Signe ruling in that part of time wherein you work Eighthly The name of the earth according to that part of time wherein you work Ninthly and for the compleating of the middle Circle Write the name of the Sun and of the Moon according to the said rule of time for as the time is changed so the names are to be altered And in the outermost Circle let there be drawn in the four Angles the names of the presidential Angels of the Air that day wherein you would do this work to wit the name of the King and his three Ministers Without the Circle in four Angles let Pentagones be made In the inner Circle let there be written four divine names with crosses interposed in the middle of the Circle to wit towards the East let there be written Alpha and towards the West let there be written Omega and let a cross divide the middle of the Circle When the Circle is thus finished according to the rule now before written you shall proceed Of the names of the hours and the Angels ruling them IT is also to be known that the Angels do rule the hours in a successive order according to the course of the Heavens and Planets unto which they are subject so that that Spirit which governeth the day ruleth also the first hour of the day the second from this governeth the second hour the third the third hour and so consequently and when seven Planets and hours have made their revolution it returneth again to the first which ruleth the day Therefore we shall first speak of the names of the hours Hours of the day Hours of the night 1.

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
is God alone who giveth them power to effect it Unto God the maker of all things are obedient all things celestial sublunary and infernal Therefore rest in this Let God be thy guide in all things which thou undertakest and all things shall attain to a happy and desired end even as the history of the whole world testifieth and daily experience sheweth There is peace to the godly there is no peace to the wicked saith the Lord. Aphor. 16. There are seven different governments of the Spirits of Olympus by whom God hath appointed the whole frame and universe of this world to be governed and their visible stars are ARATRON BETHOR PHALEG OCH HAGITH OPHIEL PHUL after the Olympick speech Every one of these hath under him a mighty Militia in the firmament ARATRON ruleth visible Provinces XLIX BETHOR XXXII PHALEG XXXV OCH XXVIII HAGITH XXI OPHIEL XIIII PHUL VII So that there are 186 Olympick Provinces in the whole Universe wherein the seven Governours do exercise their power all which are elegantly set forth in Astronomy But in this place it is to be explained in what manner these Princes and Powers may be drawn into communication Aratron appeareth in the first hour of Saturday and very truly giveth answers concerning his Provinces and Provincials So likewise do the rest appear in order in their dayes and hours Also every one of them ruleth 490 years The beginning of their simple Anomaly in the 60 year before the Nativity of Christ was the beginning of the administration of Bethor and it lasted until the year of our Lord Christ 430. To whom succeeded Phaleg until the 920 year Then began Ocb and continued until the year 1410. and thenceforth Hagith ruleth until the year 1900. Aphor. 17. Magically the Princes of the seven Governours are called simply in that time day and hour wherein they rule visibly or invisibly by their Names and Offices which God hath given unto them and by proposing their Character which they have given or confirmed The Governour Aratron hath in his power those things which he doth naturally that is after the same manner and subject as those things which in Astronomy are ascribed to the power of Saturn Those things which he doth of his own free will are 1. That he can convert any thing into a stone in a moment either animal or plant retaining the same object to the sight 2. He converteth treasures into coals and coals into treasure 3. He giveth familiars with a definite power 4. He teacheth Alchymy Magick and Physick 5. He reconcileth the subterranean spirits to men maketh hairy men 6. He causeth one to be invisible 7. The barren he maketh fruitful and giveth long life His character He hath under him 49 Kings 42 Princes 35 Presidents 28 Dukes 21 Ministers standing before him 14 familiars seven messengers he commandeth 36000 legions of spirits the number of a legion is 490. Bether governeth those things which are ascribed to Jupiter he soon cometh being called He that is dignified with his character he raiseth to very great dignities to cast open treasures he reconcileth the spirits of the Air that they give true answers they transport precious stones from place to place and they make medicines to work miraculously in their effects he giveth also the familiars of the firmament and prolongeth life to 700 years if God will His character He hath under him 42 Kings 35 Princes 28 Dukes 21 Counsellors 14 Ministers 7 Messengers 29000 legions of Spirits Phalec ruleth those things which are attributed to Mars the Prince of peace He that hath his character he raiseth to great honours in warlike affairs His character Och governeth solar things he giveth 600 years with perfect health he bestoweth great wisdom giveth the most excellent Spirits teacheth perfect Medicines he converteth all things into most pure gold and precious stones he giveth gold and a purse springing with gold He that is dignified with his Character he maketh him to be worshipped as a Deity by the Kings of the whole world The Character He hath under him 36536 Legions he administreth all things alone and all his spirits serve him by centuries Hagith governeth Venereous things He that is dignified with his Character he maketh very fair and to be adorned with all beauty He converteth copper into gold in a moment and gold into copper he giveth Spirits which do faithfully serve those to whom they are addicted His Character He hath 4000 Legions of Spirits and over every thousand he ordaineth Kings for their appointed seasons Ophiel is the governour of such things as are attributed to Mercury his Character is this His Spirits are 100000 Legions he easily giveth familiar Spirits he teacheth all Arts and he that is dignified with his Character he maketh him to be able in a moment to convert Quicksilver into the Philosophers stone Phul bath this character He changeth all metals into silver in word and deed governeth Lunary things healeth the dropsie he giveth spirits of the water who do serve men in a corporeal and visible form and maketh men to live 300 years The most general Precepts of this Secret 1. Every Governour acteth with all his Spirits either naturally to wit alwayes after the same manner or otherwise of their own free-will if God hinder them not 2. Every Governour is able to do all things which are done naturally in a long time out of matter before prepared and also to do them suddenly out of matter not before prepared As Och the Prince of Solar things prepareth gold in the mountains in a long time in a less time by the Chymical Art and Magically in a moment 3. The true and divine Magician may use all the creatures of God and offices of the Governours of the world at his own will for that the Governours of the world are obedient unto them and come when they are called and do execute their commands but God is the Author thereof as Joshua caused the Sun to stand still in heaven They send some of their Spirits to the mean Magicians which do obey them only in some determinate business but they hear not the false Magicians but expose them to the deceits of the devils and cast them into divers dangers by the command of God as the Prophet Jeremiah testifieth in his eighth Chapter concerning the Jews 4. In all the elements there are the seven Governours with their hosts who do move with the equal motion of the firmament and the inferiours do alwayes depend upon the superiours as it is taught in Philosophy 5. A man that is a true Magician is brought forth a Magician from his mothers womb others who do give themselves to this office are unhappy This is that which John the Baptist speaketh of No man can do any thing of himself except it be given him from above 6. Every Character given from a Spirit for what cause soever hath his efficacy in this business for which it is given in the time prefixed But
Magician The Magician understandeth when the minde doth meditate of himself he deliberateth reasoneth constituteth and determineth what is to be done he observeth when his cogitations do proceed from a divine separate essence and he proveth of what order that divine separate essence is But the man that is ignorant of Magick is carried to and fro as it were in war with his affections he knoweth not when they issue out of his own minde or are impressed by the assisting essence and he knoweth not how to overthrow the counsels of his enemies by the word of God or to keep himself from the snares and deceits of the tempter Aphor. 45. The greatest precept of Magick is to know what every man ought to receive for his use from the assisting Spirit and what to refuse which he may learn of the Psalmist saying Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way in keeping thy word Oh Lord. To keep the word of God so that the evil one snatch it not out of the heart is the cheifest precept of wisdom It is lawful to admit of and exercise other suggestions which are not contrary to the glory of God and charity towards our neighbours not inquiring from what Spirit such suggestions proceed But we ought to take heed that we are not too much busied about unnecessary things according to the admonition of Christ Martha Martha thou art troubled about many things but Mary hath chosen the better part which shall not be taken from her Therefore let us alwaies have regard unto the saying of Christ Seek ye first the kingdome of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you All other things that is all things which are due to the mortal Microcosme as food raiment and the necessary arts of this life Aphor. 46. There is nothing so much becometh a man as constancy in his words and deeds and when the like rejoyceth in his like there are none more happy then such because the holy Angels are conversant about such and possess the custody of them on the contrary men that are unconstant are lighter then nothing and rotten leaves We chuse the 46 Aphorisme from these Even as every one governeth himself so he allureth unto himself Spirits of his nature and condition but one very truely adviseth that no man should carry himself beyond his own calling lest that he draw unto himself some malignant Spirit from the uttermost parts of the earth by whom either he shall be infatuated and deceived or brought to final destruction This precept appeareth most plainly for Midas when he would convert all things into gold drew up such a Spirit unto himself which was able to perform this and being deceived by him he had been brought to death by famine if his foolishness had not been corrected by the mercy of God The same thing happened to a certain woman about Fanck ford at Odera in our times who would scrape together and devour mony of any thing Would that men would diligently weigh this precept and not account the Histories of Midas and the like for fables they would be much more diligent in moderating their thoughts and affections neither would they be so perpetually vexed with the Spirits of the golden mountains of Utopia Therefore we ought most diligently to observe that such presumptions should be cast out of the mind by the word while they are new neither let them have any habit in the idle minde that is empty of the divine word Aphor. 47. He that is faithfully conversant in his vocation shall have also the Spirits constant companions of his desires who will successively supply him in all things But if he have any knowledge in Magick they will not be unwilling to shew him and familiarly to converse with him and to serve him in those several ministeries unto which they are addicted the good Spirits in good things unto salvation the evil Spirits in every evil thing to destruction Examples are not wanting in the Histories of the whole World and do daily happen in the world Theodosius before the victory of Arbogastus is an example of the good Brute before he was slain was an example of the evil Spirits when he was persecuted of the Spirit of Caesar and exposed to punishment that he slew himself who had slain his own Father and the Father of his Country Aphor. 48. All Magick is a revelation of Spirits of that kinde of which sort the Magick is so that the nine Muses are called in Hesiod the ninth Magick as he manifestly testifies of himself in Theogony In Homer the genius of Ulysses in Psigiogagia Hermes the Spirits of the more sublime parts of the minde God revealed himself to Moses in the bush The three wise men who came to seek Christ at Jerusalem the Angel of the Lord was their leader The Angels of the Lord directed Daniel Therefore there is nothing whereof any one may glory For it is not unto him that willeth nor unto him that runneth but to whom God will have mercy or of some other spiritual fate From hence springeth all Magick and thither again it will revolve whether it be good or evil In this manner Tages the first teacher of the Magick of the Romanes gushed out of the earth Diana of the Ephesians shewed her worship as if it had been sent from heaven So also Apollo And all the Religion of the Heathens is taken from the same Spirits neither are the opinions of the Sadduces humane inventions Aphor. 49. The conclusion therefore of this Isagoge is the same which we have above already spoken of That even as there is one God from whence is all good and one sin to wit disobedience against the will of the commanding God from whence comes all evil so that the fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom and the profit of all Magick for obedience to the will of God followeth the fear of God and after this do follow the presence of God and of the holy Spirit and the ministery of the holy Angels and all good things out of the inexhaustible treasures of God But unprofitable and damnable Magick ariseth from this where we lose the fear of God out of our hearts and suffer sin to reign in us there the Prince of this world the God of this world beginneth and setteth up his kingdom in stead of holy things in such as he findeth profitable for his kingdom there even as the spider taketh the flye which falleth into his web so Satan spreadeth abroad his nets and taketh man with the snares of covetousness until he sucketh him and draweth him to eternal fire these he cherisheth and advanceth on high that their fall may be the greater Courteous Reader apply thy eyes and minde to the sacred and profane Histories to those things which thou seest daily to be done in the world and thou shalt finde all things full of Magick according to a two-fold Science good and evil which that
