CHAP. II.

An inventarie of the names, shapes, powers, governement, and effects of divels and spirits, of their severall segnio∣ries and degrees: a strange discourse worth the rea∣ding.

* 1.1THeir first and principall king (which is of the power of the east) is called Baell; who when he is conjured up, appeareth with three heads; the first, like a tode; the second like a man; the third like a ca••. He speaketh with a hoarse voice, he maketh a man go invisible, he hath under his obedience and rule sixty and six legions of divels.

* 1.2The first duke under the power of the east, is named Agares, he com∣meth up mildly in the likenes of a faire old man, riding upon a croco∣dile, and carrying a hawk on his fist; he teacheth presently all manner of tongues, he fetcheth backe all such as run away, and maketh them run that stand still; he overthroweth all dignities supernaturall and temporall, hee maketh earthquakes, and is of the order of vertues, having under his regiment thirty one legions.

* 1.3Marbas, alias Barbas, is a great president, and appeareth in the forme of a mighty lion; but at the commandement of a conjuror commeth up in the likenes of a man, and answereth fully as touching any thing which is hidden or secret; he bringeth diseases and cureth them, be promoteth wisdome; and the knowledge of mechanicall arts, or handicrafts; he changeth men into other shapes: and under his presidency or govenment are thirty six legions of devils contain∣ed.

* 1.4Amon, or Aamon, is a great and mighty marques, and commeth a∣broad in the likenesse of wolfe, having a serpents taile, spetting out and

breathing flames of fire; when he patteth on the shape of a man, he sheweth out dogs teeth, and a great head like to a mighty raven, he is the strongest prince of all other, and understandeth all things past and to come, he procureth favour, and reconcileth both friends and foes, and ru∣leth fourty legions of divels.

Barbatos,* 1.5 a great county or earle, and also a duke, he appeareth in Signo sagittarii sylvestris, with foure kings, which bring companies and great troopes. He understandeth the singing of birds, the barking of dogs, the lowing of bullocks, and the voice of all living creatures. He detecteth treasures hidden by magicians and inchanters, and is of the order of vertues, which in part beare rule: he knoweth all things past and to come, and reconcileth friends and powers; and governeth thirty legions of divels by his authority.

Buer is a great president,* 1.6 and is seene in this signe; he abso∣lutely teacheth philosophy morall and naturall, and also logicke, and the vertue of herbes: he giveth the best familiars, he can heale all diseases, specially of men, and reigneth over fifty legi∣ons.

Gusoin is a great duke,* 1.7 and a strong, appearing in the forme of a Xenophilus, he answereth all things, present, past, and to come, expounding all questions. He reconcileth friendship, and distribu∣teth honours and dignities, and ruleth over fourty legions of di∣vels.

Botis,* 1.8 otherwise Otis, a great president and an earle, he commeth forth in the shape of an uglie viper, and if he put on humane shape, he shew∣eth great teeth, and two hornes, carrying a sharpe sword in his hand; he giveth answers of things present past, and to come, and reconcileth friends and foes, ruling sixty legions.

Bathin,* 1.9 sometimes called Mathim, a great duke and a strong, he is seene in the shape of a very strong man, with a serpents taile, sitting on a pale horse, understanding the vertues of herbs and pretious stones, transf∣ferring men suddenly from country to country, and ruleth thirty legions of divels.

Purson, alias Curson,* 1.10 a great king, he commeth forth like a man with a lions face, carrying a most cruell viper, and riding on a beare; and before him go alwayes trumpets, he knoweth things hidden, and can tell all things present, past, and to come; he beraieth treasure, he can take a body either humane or ajerie, he answereth truly of all things earthly and secret, of the divinity and creation of the world, and bring∣eth forth the best familiars; and there obey him two and twenty le∣gions of divels, partly of the order of vertues, and partly of the order of thrones.

Eligor,* 1.11 alias Abigor, is a great duke, and appeareth as a goodly knight, carrying a lance, an ensigne, and a scepter; he answereth fully of things hidden, and of warres, and how souldiers should mee••••••he knoweth things to come, and procureth the favour of lords and knights, governing sixty le∣gions of devils.

Leraje,* 1.12 alias Oray, a great marquesse, shewing himselfe in the like∣nesse

of a gallant archer, carrying a bowe and a quiver, he is author of all battels, he doth putrifie all such wounds as are made with arrowes by archers, Quos optimos objicit tribus diebus dicbus, and he hath regiment over thirty legions.

* 1.13Valesar, alias Malephar, is a strong duke, comming forth in the shape of a lion, and the head of a theefe, he is very familiar with them to whom he maketh himselfe acquainted, till he hath brought them to the gallowes, and ruleth ten legions.

* 1.14Morax, alias Furaji, a great earle and a president, he is seene like a bull, and if he take unto him a mans face, he maketh men wonderfull cunning in astronomy, and in all the liberall sciences: he giveth good familiars and wiie, knowing the power and vertue of hearbs and stones which are precious, and ruleth thirty six legions.

* 1.15Ipos, alias Ayporos, is a great earle and a prince, appearing in the shape of an angell, and yet indeed more obscure and filthy than a lion, with a lions head, a gooses feet, and a hares taile; he knoweth things to come and past, he maketh a man witty, and bold, and hath under his jurisdiction thirty six legions.

* 1.16Naberius, alias Carberus, is a valiant marquesse, showing himselfe in the form of a crow, when he speaketh with a hoarse voice; he maketh a man amiable and cunning in all arts, and specially in rhetorick, he procureth the losse of prelacies and dignities, ninteene legions heare and obey him.

* 1.17Glasya Labolas, alias Caacrinolaas, or Caassimolar, is a great president, who commeth forth like a dog, and hath wings like a griffin, he giveth the knowledge of arts, and is the captaine of all manslayers: he understandeth things present and to come, he gaineth the minds and love of friends and foes, he maketh a man go invisible, and hath the rule of six and thirty legions.

* 1.18Zepar is great duke, appearing as a souldier, inflaming wo∣men with the love of men, and when he is hidden he changeth their shape, untill they may enjoy their beloved, he also maketh them barren, and six and twenty legions are at his obey and commande∣ment.

* 1.19Bileth is a great king and a terrible, riding on a pale horse, before whom go trumpets, and all kind of melodious musicke. When he is called up by an exorcist, he appeareth rough and furious, to deceive him. Then let the exorcist or conjuror take heed to himselfe, and to allay his courage, let him hold a hazell bat in his hand, wherewithall he must reach out to∣ward the east and south, and make a triangle without besides the circle; but if he hold not our his hand unto him, and he bid him come in; and be still refuse the bond or chaine of spirits; let the conjuror proceed to read∣ing, and by and by he wil submit himselfe, and come in, and do whatsoever the exorcist commandeth him, and he shall be safe. If Bileth the king be more stubborne, and refuse to enter into the circle at the first call, and the conjuror shew himselfe fearefull, or if he have not the chaine of spirits, certainly he will never feare nor regard him after. Also if the place be unapt for a triangle to be made without the circle, then set there a boll of

wine, and the exorcist shall certainly know when he commeth out of his house, with his fellowes, and that the aforesaid Bileth will be his helper, his friend, and obedient unto him when he commeth forth. And when be commeth, let the exorcist receive him courteously, and glorifie him in his pride, and therefore he shall adore him as other kings do, because he saith nothing without other princes. Also, if he be cited by an exorcist, alwayes a silver ring of the middle finger of the left hand must be held against the exorcists face,* 1.20 as they do for Amaimon. And the domi∣nio•• and power of so great a prince is not to be determined; for there 〈…〉〈…〉 under the power and dominion of the conjuror, but he that de∣taineth both men and women in doting love, till the exorcist hath had his pleasure. He is of the orders of powers, hoping to returne to the seaventh throne, which is not altogether credible, and he ruleth eighty five legions.

Sitri,* 1.21 alias Bitru, is a great prince, appearing with the face of a leopard, and having wings as a griffin: when he taketh humane shape, he is very beautifull, he inflameth a man with a womans love, and also stirreth up women to love men, being commanded he wil∣lingly deteineth secrets of women, laughing at them and mocking them, to make them luxuriously naked, and there obey him sixty legions.

Paimon is more obedient to Lucifer than other kings are.* 1.22 Lucifer is here to be understood he that was drowned in the depth of his know∣ledge: he would needs be like God, and for his arrogancy was throwne out into destruction, of whom it is said; Every prtious stone is thy co∣vering. Paimon is constrained by divine vertue to stand before the exorcist where he putteth on the likenesse of a man:* 1.23 he sitteth on a beast called; a dromedary, which is a swift runner, and weareth a glorious crowne, and hath an effeminate countenance. There goeth before him an host of men with trumpets and well sounding cimbals, and all musicall instru∣ments. At the first he appeareth with a great cry and roring, as in Circulo Salomonis, and in the art is declared. And if this Paimon speake some∣time that the conjuror understand him nor, let him not therefore be dis∣maied. But when he hath delivered him the first obligation, to ob∣serve his desire, he must bid him also answer him distinctly and plainely to the questions he shall aske you, of all philosophy, wisedome, and science, and of all other secret things. And if you will know the disposi∣tion of the world, and what the earth is, or what holdeth it up in the water, or any other thing, or what is Abyssus, or where the wind is, or from whence it commeth, he will teach you aboundantly. Consecrati∣ons also as well of sacrifices as otherwise may be reckoned. He giveth dignities and confirmations; he bindeth them that resist him in his owne chaines, and subjecteth them to the conjuror; he prepareth good fami∣liars, and hath the understanding of all arts.* 1.24 Note, that at the calling up of him, the exorcist must looke towards the northwest, because there is his house. When he is called up, let the exorcist receive him constantly without feare, let him aske what questions or demands he lift, and no doubt he shall obtaine the same of him. And the exorcist must beware

he forget not the creator, for those things, which have been rehearsed before of Paimon, some say, he is of the order of dominations; others say, of the order of cherubim. There follow him two hundred legions, partly of the order of angels, and partly of potestates. Note that if Paimon be cited alone by an offering or sacrifice, two kings follow him; to wit, Beball and Abalam, and other potentares: in his host are twenty five legions, because the spirits subject to them are not alwayes with them, except they be compelled to appeare by divine ver∣tue.

* 1.25Some say that the king Beliall was created immediatly after 〈…〉〈…〉 and therefore they thinke that he was father and seducer of them 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fell being of the orders. For he fell first among the worthier and wi∣ser sort, which went before Michael and other heavenly angels, which were lacking. Although Beliall went before all them that were throwne downe to the earth, yet he went not before them that tarrieth in hea∣ven. This Beliall is constrained by divine vertue, when he taketh sa∣crifices, gifts, and offerings, that he againe may give unto the offences true answers. But he tarrieth not one houre in the truth, except he be constrained by the divine power, as is said. He taketh the forme of a beautifull angell, fitting in a fiery chariot; he speaketh faire, he distribu∣teth preferments of senatorship, and the favour of friends, and excellent familiars: he hath rule over eighty legions, partly of the order of vertues, partly of angels; he is found in the forme of an exorcist in the bonds of spirits. The exorcist must consider, that this Beliall doth in every thing assist his subjects. If he will not submit himselfe, let the bond of spirits be read:* 1.26 the spirits chaine is sent for him, wherewith wise Solomon ga∣thered them together with their legions in a brasen vessell, where were inclosed among all the legions seventy two kings, of whom the cheefe was Bileth, the second was Beliall, the third Asmoday, and above a thousand thousand legions. Without doubt (I must confesse) I learned this of my master Salomon; but he told me not why he gathered them together, and shut them up so but I beleeve it was for the pride of this Beliall. Certaine ••ig romancers do say, that Solomon being on a certaine day seduced by the craft of a certaine woman, inclined himselfe to pray before the same idoll, Beliall by name: which is not credible. And therefore we must rather thinke (as it is said) that they were gathered together in that great brasen vessell for pride and arrogancy, and throwne into a deep lake or hole in Babylon. For wise Salamon did accomplish his workes by the divine power, which never forsooke him. And therefore we must thinke he worshipped not the image Beliall; for then he could not have constrained the spirits by divine vertue: for this Beliall, with three kings were in the lake. But the Babylonians wondering at the matter,* 1.27 supposed that they should find therein a great quantity of treasure, and therefore with one consent went downe into the lake, and uncovered and brake the vessell, out of the which immediately flew the captaine divels, and were delivered to their former and proper places. But this Beliall entred into a certaine image, and there gave answer to them that offered and sacrificed unto him: as Toex. in his sentences reporteth, and the Babylonians did wor∣ship and sacrifice thereunto.

Bune is a great and a strong duke,* 1.28 he appeareth as a dragon with three heads, the third whereof is like a man, he speaketh with a divine voice, he maketh the dead to change their place, and devils to assemble upon the sepulchres of the dead: he greatly inricheth a man, and maketh him eloquent and wise, answereth truly to all demands, and thirty legions obey him.

Forneus is a great marquesse,* 1.29 like unto a monster of the sea, he maketh men wonderfull in rhetorick, he adorneth a man with a good name, and the knowledge of tongues, and maketh one beloved as well of foes as friends; there are under him nine and twenty legions, of the order partly of thrones, and partly of angels.

Ronove a marquesse and an earle,* 1.30 he is resembled to a monster, he bringeth singular understanding in rhetorick, faithfull servants, knowledge of tongues, favour of friends and foes; and nineteen legions obey him.

Berith is a great and a terrible duke,* 1.31 and hath three names. Of some he is called Beall; of the Jewes Berith; of Nigromancers Belfry: he commeth forth as a red souldier, with red clothing, and upon a horse of that colour, and a crowne on his head. He answereth truly of things present, past, and to come. He is compelled to a certain hour, through di∣vine vertue, by a ring of art magick. He is also a lier, he turneth all me∣tals into gold, he adorneth a man with dignities, and confirmeth them, he speaketh with a clear and subtill voice, and six and twenty legions are un∣der him.

Astaroth is a great and a strong duke, comming forth in the shape of a foule angell,* 1.32 sitting upon an infernall dragon, and carrying on his right hand a viper: he answereth truly to matters present, past, and to come, and also of all secrets. He talketh willingly of the creator of spirits, and of their fall, and how they sinned and fell: he saith he fell not of his owne accord. He maketh a man wonderfull learned in the liberall sci∣ences, he ruleth fourty legions. Let every exorcist take heed, that he admit him not too near him, because of his stinking breath. And there∣fore let the conjuror hold near to his face a magicall ring, and that shall defend him.

Foras,* 1.33 alias Forcas is a great president, and is seen in the form of a strong man, and in humane shape, he understandeth the vertue of hearbs and pretious stones: he teacheth fully logick, ethick, and their parts: he maketh a man invisible, witty, eloquent, and to live long; he recove∣reth things lost, and dicovereth treasures, and is lord over nine and twen∣ty legions.

Fursur is a great earle,* 1.34 appearing as an hart, with a fiery taile, he ly∣eth in every thing, except he be brought up within a triangle: being bid∣den, he taketh angelicall forme, he speaketh with a hoarse voice, and willingly maketh love between man and wife; he raiseth thunders and lightnings, and blasts. Where he is commanded, he answereth well, both of secret and also of divine things, and hath rule and dominion over six and twenty legions.

* 1.36Malphas is a great president, he is seen like a crowe, but being cloth with humane image, speaketh with a hoarse voice, he buildeth 〈…〉〈…〉 and high towres wonderfully, and quickly bringeth artificers together, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 throweth downe also the enemies edifications, he helpeth to good 〈…〉〈…〉, he receiveth sacrifices willingly, but he deceiveth all the sacrifices there obey him fourty legions.

* 1.37Vepar, alias Separ, a great duke and a strong, he is like a mermaid, he is the guide of the waters, and of ships laden with armour; he bringeth to p••sse (at the commandement of his master) that the sea shall be roug•• and stormy, and shall appear full of ships; he killeth men in three dayes with purrefying their wounds, and producing maggots into them; 〈…〉〈…〉, they may be all healed with diligence, he ruleth nine and 〈…〉〈…〉 legions.

* 1.38Sabnack, alias Salmack, is a great marquesse and a strong, he cometh forth as an armed souldier with a lions head, sitting on a pale horse, ••e doth marvellously change mans forme and favour, he buildeth high to••∣ers full of weapons, and also castles and cities; he inflicteth men 〈◊〉〈◊〉 dayes with wounds both rotten and full of maggots, at the exorcists com∣mandement, he provideth good familiars, and hath dominion over 〈◊〉〈◊〉 legions.

* 1.39Sidonay, alias Asmoday, a great King, strong and mighty, he is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with three heads, whereof the first is like a bull, the second like a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the third like a ram, he hath a serpents taile, he belcheth flames out of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 mouth, he hath feet like a goose, he sitteth on an infernall dragon 〈◊〉〈◊〉 carryeth a launce and a flag in his hand, he goeth before others, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 are under the power of Amaymon. When the conjuror exerciseth 〈◊〉〈◊〉 office, let him be abroad, let him be wary and standing on his feet 〈◊〉〈◊〉 his cap be on his head, he will cause all his doings to be bewrayed, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 if he doe not, the exorcist shall be deceived by Amaymon in every thing▪ But so soon as he seeth him in the forme aforesaid, he shall call him by his name, saying; Thou art Asmoday; he will not deny it, and by and by he boweth downe to the ground; he giveth the ring of vertues, he abso∣lutely teacheth geometry, arithmetick, astronomy, and handicrafts. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 all demands he answereth fully and truly, he maketh a man 〈…〉〈…〉, hee sheweth the places where treasure lyeth, and gardeth it▪ 〈…〉〈…〉 be among the legions of Amaymon, he hath under his power sey 〈◊〉〈◊〉 two legions.

* 1.40Gaap, alias Tap, a great president and a prince, he appeareth in a 〈…〉〈…〉 ridionall signe, and when he taketh humane shape he is the guide of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 foure principall Kings, as mighty as Bileth. There were certain ne••••∣mancers that offered sacrifices and burnt offerings unto him; and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 call him up, they excercised on art, saying that Solomon the wise made it

which is false:* 1.41 for it was rather Cham, the sonne of Noah, who after the floud began first to invocate wicked spirits. He invocated Bil••th, and made an art in his name, and a book which is known to many mathe∣ma••••••ians. There were burnt offerings and sacrifices made, and gifts-gi∣••••n and much wickednesse wrought by the exorcists, who mingled there∣withall the holy names of God, the which in that art are every where ex∣p••ssed. Marry there is an Epistle of those names written by Solomon, as also write Helids Hierosolymitanus and Helisaeus. It is to be noted, that if any exorcist have the art of Bileth, and cannot make him stand before him, nor see him, I may not bewray how and declare the means to con∣tain him, because it is an abomination, and for that I have learned no∣thing from Solomon of his dignity and office, But yet I will not hide this; to wit, that he maketh a man wonderfull in philosophy and all the liberall sciences: he maketh love, hatred; insensibility, consecration, and consecration of those things that are belonging unto the domination of Amaymon, and delivereth familiar 〈…〉〈…〉 of the possession of other conjurors, answering truly and perfectly of things present, past, and to come, and transferreth men most speedily into other nations, he ruleth sixty six legi∣ons, and was of the order of potestates.
