CHAP. XI.

An Inventary of the Names, Shapes, Powers, Govenment, and effects of Devils and Spi∣rits; of their several segniories and degrees; a strange discourse worth the reading.

THeir first and principal King (which is of the power of the East) is called Baell; who when he is conjured up, appeareth with three heads;* 1.1 the first like a Toad; the second like a Man; the third like a Cat. He speaketh with a hoarse voice; he maketh a man go invisible; he hath under his obedience and rule Sixty and six Legions of Devils.

The first Duke under the power of the East, is named Agares;* 1.2 he cometh up mildly in the likeness of a fair old man, riding upon a Crocodile, and carrying a Hawk on his fist; he teacheth presently all manner of tongues; he fetcheth back all such as run away, and maketh them run that stand still; he overthroweth all Dignities supernatural and temporal; he maketh Earth∣quakes, and is of the order of Vertues, having under his regiment Thirty one Legions.

* 1.3Marbas, aliàs, Barbas is a great president, and appeareth in the form of a mighty Lyon; but at the commandement of a Conjuror cometh up in the likeness of a Man, and answereth fully as touching any thing which is hidden or secret; he bringeth diseases and cureth them; he promoteth wisdom and the knowledge of Mechanical Arts, or Handicrafts; he changeth men into other shapes: and un∣der his presidency or Government are Thirty six Legions or Devils con∣tained.

* 1.4Amon, or Aamon, is a great and mighty Marquess, and cometh abroad in the likeness of a Wolf, having a Serpents tail, spetting out and breathing flames of fire; when he putteth 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 ruleth Forty Legions of Devils.

* 1.5Barbatos, a great County or Earl, and also a Duke, he appeareth in Signo sa∣gittarii Sylvestris, with four Kings, which bring companies and great troops. He understandeth the singing of Birds, the barking of Dogs, the lowing of Bullocks, and the voyce of all living creatures: He detecteth treasures hidden by Magici∣ans and Inchanters, and is of the order of virtues which in part bear rule: he knoweth all things past and to come, and reconcileth friends and powers, and governeth Thirty Legions of Devils by his authority.

* 1.6Buer, is a great president, and is seen in this sign; he absolutely teacheth Phi∣losophy moral and natural, and also Logick, and the vertue of Herbs: he giveth the best familiars; he can heal all Diseases, specially of men, and reigneth over Fifty Legions.

* 1.7Gusoin, is a great Duke and a strong, appearing in the form of a Xenophilus: he answereth all things, present, past, and to come, expounding all questions: he reconcileth friendship, and distributeth honours and dignities, and ruleth over Forty Legions of Devils.

* 1.8Botis, otherwise Otis, a great President and an Earl, he cometh forth in the shape of an ugly Viper, and if he put on humane shape, he sheweth great teeth, and two horns, 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.

* 1.9Bathin, sometimes called Mathim, a great Duke and a strong, he is seen in the shape of a very strong man, with a Serpents tail, sitting on a pale horse, under∣standing the vertues of herbs and pretious stones, transferring men suddenly from Countrey to Countrey, and ruleth Thirty Legions of Devils.

* 1.10Purson, aliàs Curson, a great King, he cometh forth like a Man with a Lyons face, carrying a most cruel Viper, and riding on a Bear; and before him go al∣wayes trumpets: he knoweth things hidden, and can tell all things present, past, and to come: he bewrayeth treasure: he can take a body either humane or aiery, he answereth truly of all things earthly and secret, of the divinity and creation of the World, and bringeth forth the best familiars; and there obey him Two and twenty Legions of Devils, partly of the order of Vertues, and partly of the order of Thrones.

* 1.11Eligor, aliàs Abigor, is a great Duke, and appeareth as a goodly Knight, carry∣ing a Lance, an Ensign, and a Scepter; he answereth fully of things hidden, and of Wars, and how Souldiers should meet: he knoweth things to come, and pro∣cureth the favour of Lords and Knights, governing Sixty Legions of Devils.

* 1.12Leraje, aliàs Oray, a great Marquess, shewing himself in the likeness of a gallant Archer, carrying a Bow and a Quiver: he is author of all battels: he doth pu∣trifie all such wounds as are made with Arrows by Archers, Quos optimos objicit trilus dielus, and he hath regiment over Thirty Legions.

* 1.13Valefar, aliàs Malephar, is a strong Duke, cometh forth in the shape of a Lyon, and the head of a thief: he is very familiar with them to whom he ma∣keth himself acquainted, till he hath brought them to the gallows, and ruleth Teu Legions.

Morax,* 1.14 aliàs Foraji, a great Earl and a President; he is seen like a Bull, and if he take unto him a Mans face, he maketh men wonderful cunning in Astro∣nomy, and in all the liberal Sciences; he giveth good familiars and wise, know∣ing the power and virtue of herbs and stones which are pretious, and ruleth Thirty six Legions.

Ipos,* 1.15 aliàs Ayporos, is a great Earl and a Prince, appearing in the shape of an Angel, and yet indeed more obscure and filthy than a Lyon, with a Lyons head, a Gooses feet, and a Hares tail; he knoweth things to come and past, he maketh a man witty, and bold, and hath under his jurisdiction Thirty six Legions.

Naberius,* 1.16 aliàs Carberus, is a valiant Marquess, shewing himself in the form of a Crow, when he speaketh with a hoarse voyce; he maketh a man amiable and cun∣ning in all Arts, and specially in Rhetorick; he procureth the loss of Prelacies and Dignities; Nineteen Legions hear and obey him.

Glasya Labolas,* 1.17 aliàs Caacrinolaas, or Caassimolar, is a great President, who com∣eth forth like a Dog, and hath wings like a Griffin, he giveth the knowledge of Arts, and is the Captain 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 Thirty six Legions.

Zepar,* 1.18 is a great Duke, appearing as a Souldier, inflaming Women with the love of Men, and when he is hidden he changeth their shape, until they may en∣joy their beloved; he also maketh them barren, and Twenty six Legions are at his obey and commandement.

Bileth,* 1.19 is a great King and a terrible, riding on a pale Horse, before whom go Trumpets, and all kind of melodious Musick. When he is called up by an Exor∣cist, he appeareth rough and furious, to deceive him. Then let the Exocist or Conjuror take heed to himself, and to allay his courage, let him hold a hazel bat in his hand, wherewithal he must reach out toward the East and South, and make a triangle without besides the Circle; but if he hold not out his hand unto him, and he bid him come in, and he still refuse the bond or chain of Spirits, let the Conjuror proceed to reading, and by and by he will submit himself, and come in, and do whatsoever the Exorcist commandeth him, and he shall be safe. If Bileth the King be more stubborn, and refuse to enter into the Circle at the first call, and the Conjuror shew himself fearful, or if he have not the chain of Spirits, certainly he will never fear 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 cometh out of his house, with his fellows, and that the aforesaid Bileth will be his helper, his friend, and obedient unto him when he cometh forth. And when he com∣eth, 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, as they do for Amaimon.* 1.20 And the dominion and power of so great a Prince, is not to be determined; for there is none under the power and domini∣on of the Conjuror, but he that detaineth both men and women in doting love, till the Exorcist hath had his pleasure. He is of the orders of Powers, hoping to return to the seventh Throne, which is not altogether credible; and he ruleth Eighty five Legions.

Sitri, aliàs Bitru, is a great Prince, appearing with the face of a Leopard,* 1.21 and having wings as a Griffin: when he taketh humane shape, he is very beautiful; he inflameth a man with a womans love, and also stirreth up women to love men; being commanded, he willingly detaineth secrets of Women, laughing at them and mocking them, to make them luxuiously naked; and there obey him Sixty Legions.

Paimon,* 1.22 is more obedient to Lucifer than any other Kings are. Lucifer is here to be understood, he that was drowned in the depth of his knowledge: he would needs be like God, and for his arrogancy was thrown out into destruction, of

whom it is said,* 1.23 Every pretious stone is thy covering. Paimon is constrained by divine virtue to stand before the Exorcist, where he putteth on the likeness of a man: he sitteth on a beast called a Dromedary, which is a swift runner, and weareth a glorious crown, and hath an effeminate countenance: there goeth before him an host of men with Trumpets and well sounding Cymbals, and all Musical Instruments. At the first he appeareth with a great cry and roaring, as in Circulo Solomonis and in the Art is declared. And if this Paimon speak sometimes that the Conjuror understand him not, let him not therefore be dis∣mayed. But when he hath delivered him the first obligation, to observe his desire, he must bid him also answer him distinctly and plainly to the que∣stions he shall ask you, of all Philosophy, Wisdome, and Science, and of all other secret things. And if you will know the disposition 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 cometh, he will teach you abundantly. Consecrations also, as well as Sacrifices, as otherwise may be reckoned. He giveth dignities and confirmations; he bindeth them that resist him in his own chains, and subjecteth them to the Conjuror; he prepareth good familiars,* 1.24 and hath the understanding of all Arts. Note, that at the calling up of him, the Exorcist must look toward the Northwest, because there is his house. When he is called up, let the Exorcist receive him constantly without fear, let him ask what questions or demands he list, and no doubt he shall obtain the same of him. And the Exorcist must beware he forget not the Creator, for those things that have been rehearsed before of Paimon; some say, he is of the order of Dominions; others say, of the order of Cherubims. 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 of∣fering or sacrifice, two Kings follow him; to wit, Bebal, and Abalam, and other Potentates; in his host are Twenty five Legions, because the Spirits subject to them are not alwayes with them, except they be compelled to appear by divine vertue.

* 1.25Some say that the King Belial was created immediately after Lucifer, and therefore they think, that he was father and seducer of them which fell being of the orders: For he fell first among the worthier and wiser sort, which went be∣fore Michael, and other heavenly Angels, which were lacking. Although Be∣lial went before all them that were thrown down to the earth, yet he went not before them that tarryed in heaven. This Belial is constrained by Divine virtue, when he taketh Sacrifices, Gifts, and Offerings, that he again may give unto the Offerers true answers. But he tarryeth not one hour in the truth, except he be constrained by the Divine power, as is said. He taketh the form of a beautiful Angel, sitting in a fiery Chariot; he speaketh fair, he distributeth preferments of Senatorship, and the favour of friends, and ex∣cellent familiars: He hath rule over Eighty Legions, partly of the order of Virtues, partly of Angels; he is found in the form of an Exorcist in the bonds of Spirits. The Exorcist must consider, that this Belial doth in every thing assist his subjects.* 1.26 If he will not submit himself, let the bond of Spirits be read: the Spirits chain is sent for him, wherewith wise Solomon gathered them together with their Legions in a brasen vessel, where were inclosed among all the Legions Seventy two Kings, of whom the chief was Biloth, the second was Belial, the third Asmoday, and above a thousand thousand Legions. Without doubt (I must con∣fess) I learned this of my master Solomon; but he told me not why he gathered them together, and shut them up so; but I believe it was for the pride of this Belial. Certain Negromancers do say, that Solomon being on a certain day seduced by the craft of a certain Woman, inclined himself to pray before the same idol, Belial by name; which is not credible. And therefore we must rather think (as it is said) that they were gathered together in that great brasen vessel for pride and arrogancy, and thrown into a deep lake or hole in Babylon; for wise Solomon did accomplish his works by the Divine power, which

never forsook him. And therefore we must think he worshipped not the image of Belial; for then he could not have constrained the Spirits by Divine virtue: for this Belial, with three Kings, were in the lake.* 1.27 But the Babylonians wonde∣ring at the matter, supposed that they should find therein a great quantity of treasure, and therefore with one consent went down into the lake, and uncovered and brake the vessel, out of the which immediately flew the Captain Devils, and were delivered to their former and proper places. But this Belial entred into a certain image, and there gave answer to them that offered and sacrificed unto him, as Toex, in his sentences reporteth, and the Babylonians did worship and sa∣crifice thereunto.

Bune,* 1.28 is a great and a strong Duke, he appeareth as a Dragon with three heads, the third whereof is like a Man; he speaketh with a Divine voyce; 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,* 1.29 is a great Marquess, like unto a Monster of the Sea; he maketh men wonderful in Rhetorick; he adorneth a man with a good name, and the know∣ledge of tongues, and maketh one beloved as well of foes as friends; there are under him Twenty nine Legions, of the order partly of Thrones, and partly of Angels.

Ronove,* 1.30 a Marquess and an Earl; he is resembled to a Monster; he bringeth singular understanding in Rhetorick, faithful servants, knowledge of tongues, favour of friends and foes, and Nineteen Legions obey him.

Berith, is a great and a terrible Duke, and hath three Names;* 1.31 of some he is called Beal; of the Jews Berith; of Necromancers Bolfry; he cometh forth as a red Souldier, with red clothing, and upon a Horse of that colour, and a Crown on his head: he answereth truly of things present, past, and to come: he is com∣pelled to a certain hour, through Divine virtue, by a ring of Art Magick: he is also a lyer; he turneth all metals into gold; he adorneth a man with Dignities, and confirmeth them; he speaketh with a clear and subtil voyce, and Twenty six Legions are under him.

Astaroth,* 1.32 is a great and a stronge Duke, coming forth in the shape of a foul An∣gel, sitting upon an infernal 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 their fall, and how they sinned and fell; he saith he fell not of his own accord: he maketh a man wonderful learned in the Liberal Sciences; he ruleth Forty 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 Magical Ring, and that shall defend him.

Foras,* 1.33 aliàs Forcas, is a great President, and is seen in the form of a strong Man, and in humane shape, he understandeth the virtue of hearbs and pretious stones; he teacheth fully Logick, Ethicks, and their parts; he maketh a man Invisible, Witty, Eloquent, and to live long; he recovereth things lost, and discovereth treasures, and is Lord over Twenty nine Legions.

Furfur,* 1.34 is a great Earl, appearing as an Hart, with a fiery tail, he lyeth in every thing, except he be brougnt up within a triangle; being bidden he taketh Ange∣lical form; he speaketh with a hoarse voyce, and willingly maketh love between man and wife; he raiseth Thunders, Lightnings, and Blasts. Where he is com∣manded, he answereth well, both of secret and also of Divine things, and hath rule and dominion over Twenty six Legions.

Marchosias,* 1.35 is a great Marquess, he sheweth himself in the shape of a cruel she Wolf, with Griffins wings, with a Serpents tail, and spetting I cannot tell what out of his mouth. When he is in a mans shape, he is an excellent fighter; he an∣swereth all questions truly; he is faithful in all the Conjurors business; he was of the order of Dominations, under him are Thirty Legions: he hopeth after 1200 years to return to the seventh Throne, but he is deceived in that hope.

* 1.36Malphas, is a great President, he is seen like a Crow, but being cloathed with humane Image, speaketh with a hoarse voyce; he buildeth houses and high towers wonderfully, and quickly bringeth Artificers together; he throweth down also the enemies edifications; he helpeth to good familiars; he receiveth Sacrifices willingly, but he deceiveth all the Sacrificers; there obey him Forty Legions.

* 1.37Vepar, aliàs 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 pass (at the commandement of his Master) that the Sea shall be rough and stormy, and shall appear full of ships; he killeth men in three dayes, with putrifying their wounds, and produceth Maggots into them; howbeit, they may be all healed with dili∣gence; he ruleth Twenty nine Legions.

* 1.38Sabnack, aliàs Salmack, is a great Marquess and a strong; he cometh forth as an armed Souldier with a Lyons head, sitting on a pale Horse; he doth marvel∣lously change mans form and favour; he buildeth high towers full of weapons, and also Castles, and Cities; he inflicteth men thirty dayes with wounds both rotten and full of maggots; at the Exorcists commandement, he provideth good familiars, and hath dominion over Fifty Legions.

* 1.39Sidonay, aliàs Asmoday, a great King, strong and mighty, he is seen with three heads, whereof the first is like a Bull, the second like a man, the third like a Ram, he hath a Serpents tail; he belcheth flames out of his mouth; he hath feet like a Goose; he sitteth on an infernal Dragon, be carryeth a launce and a flag in his hand, he goeth before others which are under the power of Amaymon. When the Conjuror exerciseth this office, let him be abroad, let him be wary and standing on his feet; if his cap be on his head, he will cause all his doings to be bewrayed, which if he do not, the Exorcist shall be deceived by Amaymon in every thing. But so soon as he seeth him in the form aforesaid, he shall call him by his name, saying, Thou art Asmoday; he will not deny it, and by and by he boweth down to the ground; he giveth the ring of virtues, he absolutely teacheth Geometry, Arithmetick, Astronomy, and handicrafts. To all demands he answereth fully and truly; he maketh a man invisible; he sheweth the places where treasure lyeth, and gardeth it, if it be among the Legions of Amaymon; he hath under his power Seventy two Legions.

* 1.40Gaap, aliàs Tap, a great President and a Prince, he appeareth in a meridional sign, and when he taketh humane shape, he is the guide of the four principal Kings, as mighty as Bileth. There were certain Necromancers that offered sacri∣fices and burnt offerings unto him; and to call him up, they exercised an art, saying,* 1.41 that Solomon the wise made it, which is false: for it was rather Cham, the son of Noah, who after the flood began first to invocate wicked Spirits. He invoca∣ted Bileth, and made an Art in his name, and a book which is known to many Ma∣thematitians. There were burnt offerings and sacrifices made, and gifts given, and much wickedness wrought by the Exorcist, who mingleth therewithal the holy Names of God, the which in that Art are everywhere expressed. Marry there is an Epistle of those names written by Solomon, as also write He∣lias Aierosolymitanus 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 contain him, because it is an abomina∣tion, and for that I have learned nothing from Solomon of his dignity and office. But yet I will not hide this, to wit, that he maketh a man wonderful in Philo∣sophy and all the Liberal Sciences; he maketh love, hatred, insensibility, con∣secration, and consecration of those things that are belonging unto the domina∣tion of Amaymon, and delivereth familiars out of the possession of other Conju∣rors, answering truly and perfectly of things present, past, and to come; and transferreth men most speedily into other Nations; he ruleth Sixty six Legions, and was of the order of Potestates.

* 1.42Shax, aliàs Scox, is a dark and great Marquess, like unto a Stork, with a hoarse and subtil voyce, he doth marvellously take away the sight, hearing, and under∣standing

of any man, at the commandement of the Conjuror; he taketh away money out of every Kings house, and carryeth it back after 1200 years, if he be commanded; he is a horse-stealer; he is thought to be faithful in all comman∣dements; and although he promise to be obedient to the Conjuror in all things, yet he is not so, he is a lyer, except he be brought into a triangle, and there he speaketh divinely, and telleth of things that are hidden, and not kept of wicked Spirits; he promiseth good familiars, which are accepted if they be not decei∣vers; he hath Thirty Legions.

Procel,* 1.43 is a great and strong Duke, appearing in the shape of an Angel, but speaketh darkly of things hidden; he teacheth Geometry, and the Liberal Arts; he maketh great noises, and causeth the waters to roar, where are none; he warmeth waters, and distempereth baths at certain times, as the Exorcist appoin∣teth him; he was of the order of Potestates, and hath Forty eight Legions under his power.

Raum,* 1.47 or Raim, is a great Earl, he is seen as a Crow, but when he putteth on humane shape, at the commandement of the Exorcist, he stealeth wonderfully out of the Kings house, and carryeth it whether he is assigned; he destroyeth Cities, and hath great despite unto dignities; he knoweth things present, past, and to come, and reconcileth friends and foes; he was of the order of Thrones, and governeth Thirty Legions.

Halphas,* 1.48 is a great Earl, and cometh abroad like a Stork, with a hoarse voyce, he notably buildeth up Towns full of amunition and weapons, he sendeth men of war to places appointed, and hath under him Twenty six Legions.

Focalor,* 1.49 is a great Duke, cometh forth as a man, with wings like a Griffin, he killeth men, and drowneth them in the waters, and overturneth ships of war, commanding and ruling both Winds and Seas. And let the Conjuror note, that if he bid him hurt no man, he willingly consenteth thereto: he hopeth after 1000 years to return to the seventh Throne, but he is deceived; he hath Three Legions.

Vine,* 1.50 is great King and an Earl, he sheweth himself as a Lyon, riding a black Horse, and carryeth a Viper in his hand; he gladly buildeth large Towres, he throweth down stone walls, and maketh waters rough. At the commandement of the Exorcist, he answereth of things hidden, of Witches, and of things present, past, and to come.

* 1.53Zagan, is a great King and a President, he cometh abroad like a Bull, with Griffins wings; but when he taketh humane shape, he maketh men witty, he turn∣eth all metals into the coin of that dominion, and turneth water into wine, and wine into water; he also turneth blood into wine, and wine into blood, and a fool into a wise man; he is head of Thirty three Legions.

Cimeries,* 1.65 is a great Marquess and a strong, ruling in the parts of Africa; he teacheth perfectly Grammar, Logick, and Rhetorick, he discovereth treasures and things hidden; he bringeth to pass, that a man shall seem with expedition to be turned into a Souldier; he rideth upon a great black Horse, and ruleth Twenty Legions.

Amy,* 1.66 is a great President, and appeareth in a flame of fire, but having taken mans shape, he maketh one marvellous in Astrology, and in all the liberal Scien∣ces; he procureth excellent familiars; he bewrayeth treasures preserved by Spirits; he hath the government of Thirty six Legions; he is partly of the order of Angels, partly of Potestates; he hopeth after a thousand two hundred years to return to the seventh Throne: which is not credible.

Flauros is a strong Duke,* 1.67 is seen in the form of a terrible strong Leopard, in humane shape he sheweth a terrible countenance, and fiery eyes; he answereth truly and fully of things present, past, and to come; if he be in a triangle, he ly∣eth in all things, and deceiveth in other things, and beguileth in other businesses; he gladly talketh of Divinity, and of the creation of the World, and of the fall; he is constrained by Divine vertue, and so are all Devils and Spirits, to burn and destroy all the Conjurors adversaries. And if he be commanded, he suffereth the Conjuror not to be tempted, and he hath Legions under him.

Balam,* 1.68 is a great and a terrible King, he cometh forth with three heads, the first of a Bull, the second of a Man, the third of a Ram; he hath a Serpents tail, and flaming eyes, riding upon a furious Bear, and carrying a Hawk on his fist; he speaketh with a hoarse voyce, answering perfectly of things present, past, and to come; he maketh man invisible and wise; he governeth Forty Legions, and was of the order of Dominions.

Allocer,* 1.69 is a strong Duke and a great, he cometh forth like a Souldier, ri∣ding on a great Horse; he hath a Lyons face, very red, and with flaming eyes, he speaketh with a big voyce, he maketh a man wonderful in Astronomy, and in all the liberal Sciences, he bringeth good familiars, and ruleth Thirty six Legions.

Saleos,* 1.70 is a great Earl, he appeareth as a gallant Souldier, riding on a Crocodile, and weareth a Dukes crown, peaceable, &c.

Vuall,* 1.71 is a great Duke and a strong, he is seen as a great and terrible Drome∣dary, but in humane form, he soundeth out in a base voyce the Aegyptian tongue. This man, above all other, procureth especial love of Women, and knoweth things present, past, and to come, procuring the love of friends and foes; he was of the order of Potestates, and governeth Thirty seven Legions.

Haagenti,* 1.72 is a great President, appearing like a great Bull, having the wings of a Griffin, but when he taketh humane shape, he maketh a man wise in every thing, he changeth all metals into gold, and changeth Wine and Water, the one into the other, and commandeth as many Legions as Zagan.

Phoenix,* 1.73 is a great Marquess, appearing like the bird Phoenix, having a childs voyce; but berore he standeth still before the Conjuror, he singeth many sweet notes. Then the Exorcist, with his companions, must beware he give no ear to the melody, but must by and by bid him put on humane shape; then will he speak marvellously of all wonderful Sciences. He is an excellent Poet, and obedient; he hopeth to return to the seventh Throne, after a thousand two hundred years, and governeth Twenty Legions.

Stolas is a great Prince, appearing in the form of a Night-raven, before the Exorcist; he taketh the image and shape of a man, and teacheth Astronomy, absolutely understanding the vertues of herbs and pretious stones; there are un∣der him Twenty six legions.

Note, that a Legion is 6666. and now by Multiplication count how many Legions do arise out of every particular.
