The second Conjuration.

AGain I conjure ye, O Devils above∣mentioned, Rebels against God, by the Virgin Mary Mother of Christ, by her Nativity, by her Conception, by her most holy Milk, which was suckt by him who is called Alpha and Omega, by her Merits and by all the most blessed Names of the Virgin, as Virgin, Flower, Cloud, God-bearing Queen, Empress, Lady, Au∣rora, Handmaid, Fountain, Well, Moon, Sun, Portal, House, Blessed, Glory, most Benign, Pious, Court, Bramble, Ladder, Star, Tower, Assister, Ark, Bridecham∣ber, Pearl, Tabernacle, Friend, Vail, Fair∣Mother, beautiful Soul, blessed Rose,

Mary the Spouse. By all these Names above-mentioned I command and send ye, and throw ye down headlong into the Lake of Brimstone and Fire, and thi∣ther perpetually condemn ye. And the foresaid Virgin Mary, and all the hoIy Virgins and chast Women rejoice with Christ in Heaven, so by virtue of his Pas∣sion I enjoin ye to depart for ever from this Creature; otherwise by all the afore∣said Names and words, and by all the aforesaid words and things I condemn ye ipso facto without mercy to all the Dam∣nation and Torments before expressed as Rebels to God.

The Papists affirm, That when this Sentence was proclaimed in Hell, there was such a horrid roaring and bellowing among the Devils, that it was heard over all the Land of the Antipodes, even as far as Ethiopia. But you must know, that when the Priest pronounced this Sentence, he laid his Book upon the Head of the De∣moniac, and holding forth a Crucifix to the Devil, said these words,

BY the Prayers of this Book, and by all their Efficacy, by all the Miracles and words of our Saviour, by all the

Prayers which are made in Heaven and Earth. By all the Powers in Heaven, and by all the virtue of the most holy Names of God, I command ye to retire from hence, and that you do not dare to do what we command ye, otherwise we will cast ye headlong into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone to be burnt alive. Therefore in whatsoever part of this Body ye are, whether within or without, come and behold the Sign of the Cross conse∣crated by our great Creator Jesus Christ; for by virtue of that you are bound to obey us. And therefore by virtue of that we constrain ye to appear before Us whe∣ther ye will or no; for the words of God* 1.1 which proceed out of our mouth are most burning fires, which shall burn ye eternally; and this is the Cross at which all the World trembles, and every Creature quakes for fear, and you are Rebels to ours and your own Creator. Be ye therefore accursed and excommunicated, in eternal Torment, and may ye never rest at any time, if ye do not presently obey these Commands of mine laid upon ye by the Power of Christ, and the words which are said

of him who causes all the World to tremble.
