The Signs
The signs of Appearance both of Good Evil Spirits are ought to be carefully well observed by Reason they are the foregoers of such appearances, whereby are known the differences thereof which is a matter of material Consequence as shall be more plainly showed forth.
Good Angels moved
If Good Angels or Elemental powers of Light, or otherwise Dignified spirits, of benevolent, or Symbolising nature with Celestial powers, and allied to the welfare preservation of mankind, are moved called forth to visible appearance in a Crystal Stone or Glass Receptacle as one usual way or customary form is among the Learned Magicians, then the sign of their appearance, most seemeth like a Veil or Curtain of some beautiful Colour, hanging in or about the stone, or Glass, as a bright Cloud or other pretty kind of Hieroglyphical show, both strange yet very Delightful to behold.
It is therefore to be Remembered, that the Magical Sophie ought to have for his purpose a Crystal stone, of a round Globic form, very clear transparent, or other stone of like Diaphanity, or Ball of Clear Solid Glass, or thick hollow Glass, with a little hole on the top of like form, of any convenient bigness or Diameter, According as can Reasonably be obtained or made, the same to be set in a frame, also the Glass to be made with a stalk or shank fixed thereto, so to be put in a Socket with a foot or pedestal to stand upright; the stone being called by the name of a shew stone, the Glass by the name of a Glass Receptacle, in practice or Action, upon Invocation or motion made for spiritual appearance, there shall Either be a wax Candle on each side thereof, or a Lamp behind the same burning during the time of Action, set on a table, apart fitted furnished for this purpose, but if Appearance hereof aforesaid be moved for by invocation, out of the show stone or glass Receptacle, or if yet notwithstanding Appearance happen to show themselves out of them, yet the sign of their appearance will be very Delectable, pleasant, though Various and amusing the Senses to behold, as a shining brightness or sudden flashes, or such like similitudes very splendid in show, all about, or in the place where action is made or appearance moved.
Invocation
When Invocation is made to any of the Celestial powers, or Dignified Elemental spirits of Light, appearance accordingly is presented and visibly showeth itself, Either in the shew stone, or Glass Receptacle, or otherwise out of them ; then view the same very well also take notice of its Corporature, Physiognomy, or features of the face, Vestures or Garments, deportment or behaviour, language or whatsoever else may be worthy of note ; by Reason of making a fine Distinction between the appearance of Good Angels or spirits, others that are Evil, of Knowing the same without being Deceived. For although Evil powers or spirits of Darkness may be Invocated, moved or Called forth to visible appearance Consulted withall, made use of in such concerns or upon such actions23, wherein by nature office, they may be Commanded to serve in all such matters, according as thereupon are Dependent, as the necessities thereof shall be suitable Requisite, but then Actions with them are Different24, both in time, place Order, also the manner of operation, which by them are Diversely severally elsewhere hereafter inserted, showed forth in its proper place, Therefore Do the Magick Philosophers give this Caution saying, Beware that one action, operation, or Secret in this Art be not mixed with another,
Action Apart
But Let all Celestial, Elemental Infernal Actions, operations, invocations, be used kept apart or separate, according to the Method manner as are in particular Ascribed, properly Referred unto each of them.25 Now then Observe that the Appearance of celestial Benevolent Angels, other Dignified Elemental spirits, or powers of Light, are to be thus Known or Distinguished from those that are Infernal or Evil powers or spirits of Darkness.26 The Good Angels or Dignified powers of Light as aforesaid, are in Countenance very fair, beautiful, Affable Youthful, smiling, Amiable, usually of a flaxenish or Gold coloured hair, in behaviour or gesture very Courteous friendly, in speech very Gentle Mild, Grave, Eloquent, using no vain, idle or Superfluous Language, or Discourse; in their Corporature very handsome, straight, Comely, well favoured, in every Limb most exactly formal well Composed, their motions sometimes to be plainly perceived, sometimes swift and sometimes imperceptible; both in their appearance Continuance Departure, their Garments Vestures, of what fashion, form, or Colour so ever thereof, are Likewise very fair, beautiful or Orient, if it be of many Colours or strange fashion, yet they are also very splendid, rare Lovely to behold; in short, they are all Celestially Glorified in all their Appearances, as they are in Countenance Corporature most Comely, beautiful, Amiable, well composed, without any of the Least Deformity, Either of hairiness in the face or body, or a swarthy Complexion, or any Crookedness, or either any ill shaped member of the body, so also are their Garments or Vestures, without spot or blemish, Either of being Ragged, or tom or stained, or anywise to be seemingly Dirty or Daubed, with any filthy, Greasy or nasty Soil, always Embrace the word Mercy.
Appearance
When the appearance of any Celestial Angels, or Angelical powers of Light, or Dignified Elemental spirits are visibly showed forth by good testimony or Diligent Observation well known to be so; then with due Reverence given thereto, [it] may be said as followeth.
Receive Thus
Welcome be the Light of the Highest, welcome be the messengers of Divine Grace mercy unto us, the true servants worshippers of the same your God, whose name be glorified both now for Ever. Amen.
Good or Evil
And if the appearance be of Good, then it will stay, but if not, it will Immediately vanish, or flee hastily away, at the Rehearsal of the word Mercy. But if any Evil power shall appear in the place or stead of that which is Good, impudently withstand any opposition, then Vanquish it, as in this Case. Evil spirits are to be Dealt withall, in manner form as hereafter is inserted in its place; by Reason those powers or spirits who are by nature Evil, so are Contrary to those by nature Good, may not be dealt withall in those actions or operations. Nor those powers of Light, by nature Good, to be moved in Reference to what Otherwise properly appertaineth or Belongeth by nature office to the Evil powers of spirits of Darkness, more then as for their Assistance, so accordingly for Deliverance from any Violent Surprises, assaults, or Illusions, or other infernal temptations or envious attempts c.
Expected Appearance
Now then, if by these Directions, the Expected appearance is understood found to be Celestial of Good, or to be Dignified Elemental spirits or powers of Light, so likewise of Good, as accordingly was invocated, moved or Called forth to visible appearance, [then] say thus
Demand
Are you the same, whom we have moved called forth to visible appearance here before us at this time, by the name (N) or what Else are you of what order, amongst the blessed Angels, or otherwise Known or Called by any Mortal man, if you be of Celestial or Elemental Verity so of Charity, you Cannot Mislike of or Deny these our sayings.
Answer
Then if it Maketh any Answer, as peradventure it will, then Make Reply according as the Nature of your Discourse requireth, but if it Make no answer, then repeat the words aforesaid, ‘Are ye the same c.’
Then it will show forth or tell its name, Order office the which when it is Known by hearing, then it will speak, or Otherwise show forth, Say then as followeth
Who it is
If you be (N) as you say, in the name of Jesus, say that all wicked angels are justly Condemned, that by the mercy of God in the merits of Christ, mankind Elect are to be saved.
Answer made, or be gone
Whereunto it will then return a satisfactory answer or, Else it will Depart or be gone away; then if the appearance be Good, as may be Known by the answer of the Reasons thereof, that was made or given to the aforesaid proposition, Say as followeth
Speak to the Appearance
O ye servants or Messengers, of Divine grace mercy, Celestial Angels or angelical powers of Light, or Dignified Elemental spirits mediums of Benevolence to mankind, Servants of God, you both now at this time always, are shall be unto us truly sincerely welcome; humbly Desiring you also to be friendly unto us, to Do for us, In whatsoever it shall please God, to give by your Order office to us, for the better knowledge benefit of mankind Living on Earth, Make us partakers of true Science Sapience, in the Undefiled Secret wisdom of your Creation.
Answer Made
And if any Answer, shall be made hereunto, or any Discourse from hence should arise or proceed here upon, then both wisdom Reason must be the principal Conduct in the Management thereof; But if there be Silence, that no Discourse Ariseth from hence, then begin to make humble request for answer, to such Desires proposals, as in a Certain writing is Contained which ought to be in Readiness with you, then will the Efforts of all things be undoubtedly with good Success Determined c.
Intrusion
The Signs of Intrusion or appearance of Evil when action or Invocation is otherwise made, for moving Calling forth Celestial Angels or Intelligences, or other dignified powers or Elemental spirits of Light, are not Apparent or Visible to be any ways Discernable, more than the shapes, forms, Gestures, other like principles in Appearance, quite Contrary in behaviour, Language,
Clothing or Vestures, to those above Related, to be observed of the Good Angels. Neither are they herein otherwise to be judged of them than as intruders, tempters Illuders, on purpose if possible, to Deceive, also Destroy the perseverance hopes of Obtaining any Benefit by Celestial good mediums; by Reason that they are Degraded Deprived of power, to send or show forth any forgoing signs of their appearance, in those are such Superior Actions, Invocating or moving only Celestial or Dignified Elemental powers c to Visible Appearances, herein no ways to have further notice, than to be Vanquished sent away, as before hath been said.
Observe then that the Corporature, forms shapes of evil powers or spirits of Darkness, in their appearance by forcible intrusion of this kind, are Easily to be Discovered from the good powers and spirits of Light, as now shall be declared as followeth.
Of Evil Powers
Evil powers or spirits of Darkness, are Ugly Ill-favoured, Beastly in Shape appearance, wherein observe if they appear in upright or human stature, then either body, face or Covering are quite Contrary to the other before specified of good. For although an Evil or infernal spirit, may appear in the Likeness of an Angel of Light, Especially in the time place, when Good Angels or spirits of Light are Invocated, moved Called forth, forming themselves very nearly, so Even almost imperceptible to Sight apprehension, Except Ingeniously Discovered by Curious observation, and Clearly may be Discovered Quickly, by their Raggedness Uncleaness of their Garments, Differences of their Countenance in beauty features, other decent Composures of the body, Language and behaviour, the Corporal Deformities of the Limbs, or bestial similitudes, who in times do usually and Suddenly make their Appearance, and as Readily show forth strange motions Gestures, speaking Unusual blasphemous, Ridiculous or Different Language, Altogether Dissonant Contrary very Unlike, both in Manner matter, to that of the Celestial Angels, Elemental powers other Dignified spirits of Light; which also may be soon Discovered by the Diligence of a sober Curious speculator , which notable Intrusions, they make on this action, properly to Destroy, if possible, overthrow the Reason, hope judgement of the Invocant, by great Errors other Ignorant Mistakes, not only to Deceive Confound the more Solid Genuine Knowledge Capacity of man Labouring herein, but also to Distract the senses, thereby Lead the Understanding into a Meander, therein to weary tire us with Variety of Doubts Desperation, not Knowing how to unravel this Gordian Knot ; or to be Satisfied or Delivered from this hopeless pilgrimage, but by the help of Icarian Wings .
From hence it may be Understood; that Evil powers and spirits of Darkness, Sooner appear as Impudent Intruders, in the time of Good action, in place where invocation is made, for the moving Calling forth of any good Angels, or Dignified Elemental powers or spirits of Light to Visible Appearance, than at any other time place, when as unto themselves they shall be Indifferently by order, office name invocated, moved Called forth to Visible appearance for such is their assistance, as by nature office wherein they are accordingly Serviceable suitable to the occasion wherein they were Commanded. Therefore in such actions, Methods, form or observations, as are to be only Referred Unto those Evil powers or spirits of Darkness, those actions we say are Differently set apart, to be Distinguished both in time, place, order Method, form otherwise as aforesaid, so they may be moved Called forth Commanded Constrained accordingly so Dealt withall used, as the present occasion shall Require the Direction of the Invocant shall find agreeable to their Nature office.
So then, here it is observable that Evil spirits may be invocated Dealt with Differently and apart by themselves accordingly as aforesaid, but not in such place or at such time, as when Action or Motion is made for the appearance of any Celestial or other Dignified powers or Spirits of Light and other Elemental powers or different spirits by nature good as well as evil and other wandering spirits non-resident in orders certain of like nature, c, may be constrained commanded by invocation, to Service obedience Comparatively as Vile Slaves accordingly, as Elsewhere in a particular treatise. Invocations properly thereto Referred, with several other Appurtenant Rules Observations Inserted therein, as Amply at Large Showed forth. But Celestial Angels other Dignified Elemental powers spirits of Light, by nature office wholly Benevolent and Good may not be Commanded nor Constrained by any Invocation; they are only to be moved Called forth by humble Entreaties, Thereby acquiring favour friendship.
When Wicked Intruders
Now then if at any time place, when Action or motion are made, humbly entreated Earnestly besought, for the appearance of any Celestial Angel or Dignified Elemental power, or other spirit or spirits of Light, wicked Intruders should impudently Insinuate, thrust themselves in place, would Enforce Credulity into the Speculator c. And that it shall be plainly Discovered, then shall the Magical Sophie Dismiss, Discharge send away banish them from hence, after this Manner:
To Banish the Evil Spirits
The Vengeance of God is a two Edged Sword, cutting Rebellious wicked spirits of Darkness, all other Usurping powers in pieces, the hand of God is like a strong Oak which when it falleth it Breaketh in pieces many shrubs, the Light of his Eyes Expelleth Darkness, the sweetness of his mouth Keepeth from Corruption. Blessed are all those unto whom he showeth mercy, preserveth from temptation illusion of wicked intruders, Defending them by his mighty power, Under the Cover of Divine Grace not suffering his humble servants to be overcome or overthrown, by any infernal assaults, now therefore, because you have Come Hither, Entered without Licence, Seeking to Entrap Ensnare us, secretly Conspired by these your Subtleties to deceive Destroy us our hopes, In the true meaning of these our sober, innocent, honourable, Celestial Actions operations, we Do in the great mighty name, by the power of the most high God, triumph Imperially over you, by the Virtue, force Efficacy thereof, be you your powers Vanquished, overthrown, utterly Defaced; behold, by Virtue of that Celestial power, by Divine Grace given to us, wherewith we are potently Dignified, as heirs of God’s promise through faith Continuing Inherent in us, we Do hereby wholly Deface overthrow you, you are totally Vanquished. Therefore we say Depart, immediately be gone from hence, in peace, without Noise, turbulence, injury, harm, Violence or Other damage whatsoever; as you are of Darkness the places of Darkness, have without any Charge or permission Enviously Intruded, Seeking thereby to Ensnare, Deceive overwhelm us, the Divine Judgement Vengeance of the most high God, for this your Wicked malicious Conspiracy Insinuation, be your Deserved Reward, as it was Delivered to you, so take it with you, that the malice which you have shown to us, may heap up your own Destruction; be ye therefore Dismissed immediately we say Depart hence unto your Orders, there to Continue in the bonds of Confinement, During the Divine pleasure of the Highest.
If they are yet Obstinate, Impudent, will not Depart but Rather will withstand the Commands, of the Magician, Let him say as followeth:
To Vanquish
Do ye thus impudently withstand, obstinately Refuse to Depart from our presence, from this place perniciously attempt yet further against us, in the name of Jesus we say Depart ye wicked Seducers, be ye Immediately gone away from hence be it unto you according to the word of God, which Judgeth Righteously from Evil unto worse, from worse unto Confusion, from Confusion to Desperation, from Desperation unto Damnation, from Damnation unto Eternal Death, Depart therefore we say unto the Last Cry, Remain with the prince of Darkness in punishment justly due as a fit Reward unto your wicked, Malicious Deservings; the God of mercy Graciously Deliver us from you, Jehovah, Jehovah, Schah.
And if no Celestial Angel, or other Dignified spirit of Light appears in place to Vanquish, send away, or seal up any wicked or infernal spirit or spirits of Darkness, When Appearance is present, As Notorious Intruders in the time place, when Celestial or elemental Actions, with Dignified powers of Light are in agitation or operation.
Rules to be Observed
Then Let the Discrete Magician with prudent passion, have Diligent Regard to himself, Consult the foregoing Rules, according to Respective serious observation, who then by the office of himself, will undoubtedly not only Contract the sight friendship of the Celestial Angels, also Dignified elemental other benevolent spirits of Light, to his Relief Comfort to Vanquish overcome all Evil spirits or powers of Darkness c: But also he shall have power to Command, Call forth Constrain all sublunary spirits powers of all natures, orders offices, both good Evil, Light Darkness, or otherwise Relating thereunto, bring them to such Obedience as according to their several Respective natures, offices they may be so Commanded Constrained to serve obey.
A Second Introduction
When Invocation and Replication thereunto is amply made according to time, method, and order, and the Celestial Angel or Intelligence thereby moved doth appear, or any other Angel or Intelligence of the same Hierarchy, then mark and observe well the manner, shape, form, Corporature, gesture, vestments and foregoing sign thereof, and if in all symbolical likelihood and probable symptoms the Apparition seemeth to be no less, or otherwise conjectured than what is form hence to be expected.
Although that very Intelligence that was moved and called forth by name doth not appear, by reason it is of the superior order of the Hierarchy who are not always sent nor usually go forth neither are moved to visible appearance, but if especial grave and divine pleasure more especially unto choice and peculiar vessels of honour accordingly appointed immediately by the Holy Ghost to fulfil the commands of the Highest but yet some one or other or more of the Celestial powers of the same order as aforesaid, more inferior in degree, may be moved hereby to descend and appear at the earnest request of the Sophie Invocant , and perform whatsoever shall be requested according to its nature and office.
It cannot be unknown to any discrete Magician, that whensoever any good Angel or Celestial Intelligence is moved or called forth to visible appearance, but also that evil spirits and infernal powers of darkness are immediately ready to encroach and appear in the room instead of the good Angels. Therefore, it behoveth to be very careful and greatly observing thereof, both the method and manner how to know and rightly to distinguish the appearance of the good angels or spirits from those that are evil, and how to deal with either of them.
That is to say, how to receive good angels in their appearance and how to vanquish and banish Evil Spirits when they intrude and enter into place and presence, to deceive and overwhelm us. We have sufficiently and at large inserted and shown forth in our Directory. Therefore, we shall in this place only show forth a method of greeting the Apparition of any Celestial Angel or dignified power of light, and when by all the prescribed rules given, that apparition is truly known to be Celestial and of good, then humbly receive it with ample benevolence, saying as followeth:
To Receive a good Appearance
Welcome be the light of the Highest, and welcome be the Messengers of Divine Grace and mercy unto us, the true servants and worshippers of the same your God, whose name be glorified both now and for evermore.
When known to be Good
If the Appearance is perfectly known and understood, and by all the signs and tokens perfectly known to be Celestial or Angelical powers of light, then with due reverent observance say as followeth.
Receiving Good Angels
O you Servants or Messengers of divine grace and mercy and Celestial Angels, or Intelligences, powers of light, or dignified Elemental Spirits and Mediums of benevolence to mankind, Servants of God, you, both now at this time and always, are and shall be unto us truly and sincerely welcome. Humbly desiring you also to be friendly and do for us in whatsoever it shall please God to give by your Order and Office unto you for the better knowledge and benefit of mankind living here upon Earth, and to make us partakers of true sapience and science in the undefiled and sincere sacred wisdom of your Creation.
Answer
And if any Answer shall be made thereunto, or any discourses from hence should arise or proceed thereupon, then both wisdom and reason must be the principal conduct in the management thereof, but if there be silence that no discourse ariseth from hence, then begin to make humble request for answer to your desires and proposals, then will the effects of all things undoubted and with good success be determined.
Fear or Mistrust
But if there should, any fear Doubt or Misimpression, or just Cause of jealousy be had or made of any Expected Apparition, of any Angel or Intelligence of the Celestial Orders, or other elemental power of Light, Celestially Dignified or otherwise, if at any time there should appear a spirit, which you do think is not of Good, nor of the Order you moved for, or have any mistrust of it, the which you may Easily perceive by form , Gesture, Motion Similitude, also by Its Answering, to any Discourse or Questions made, then may be said thus to it as followeth.
To Know who it is
“In the name of Jesus who art thou?” Then perhaps it will say, “I am the servant of God.”
Then you may say “Art thou Come from God? Art thou sent from him with good tidings or Message?” Then perhaps it will say to you, or some such Like words “What I am he Knoweth, of whom I bear witness.”
Then you may ask its name, saying then “What is your name? Either as it [your name] is notified amongst the blessed Angels, or Called by of mortal man; if you be of Verity, so of Charity, you Cannot mislike my speeches.”
Then it will tell you its name, or say nothing at all, but if it Doth tell you his name, then you may say to it “If you be N: in the name of Jesus, say that all wicked Angels are Justly Condemned, that by the mercies of God in the merits of Christ, Mankind Elect is to be saved.”
Then it will give you a Sufficient Answer to satisfy you, or Else It will be gone from you. And then if it be of good and hath answered your request, then perhaps it will say, “Thus much thou hast Required.”
Then you may say, “I did so, for so is his Judgement justice against the Impenitent his Mercy to his Elect. To this Truth.” Then you may ask your Desire.
We thought Good to instance, thus much for better information instruction, although a full narrative hereof is amply at Large Showed forth, in the foregoing Directions or Directoiy , both as to the Knowledge Receiving of Good Angels or Celestial Intelligences, or other Elemental spirits or powers of Light, Angelically or Celestially Dignified, And for the Knowledge Vanquishing Driving away of all Evil spirits, > infernal powers of Darkness, whensoever any such Apostate shall forcibly Intrude, or make Entrance and Appearance instead of Celestial good Angels, or other Dignified Elemental powers of Light, in the time place of those Actions, purposely to Deceive, Confound Utterly if possible to Destroy the hopes Expectations, comforts benefits of the Sophie Philosophers, in their Elaborate Industry, Care Earnest addresses, unto the Celestial Angels, or blessed Intelligences, or Dignified Elemental powers, or other spiritual Mediums or messengers of Divine Light; for the true Knowledge finding out the true Use of all Physical metaphysical Arcanums, or Secrets in a Superior or profound Mystery: which Cannot otherwise be Known or found out, but by the Divine Light Conduct of Angelical Ministry, or other spiritual Revelation, > instruction by such Mediums of Benevolence to Mankind, as through the Divine Grace Mercy goodness of the highest, as are by nature Order office, thereunto, preordinately Decreed appointed.
But as touching, the Insisting any further of this Matter, we think it needless; Since it is more fully treated of in the foregoing Directory , which we advise to be well understood, by a due Serious Consideration; before any progress, or Unadvised proceedings are made herein.
Observe also, that Whereas we have Severally particularly mentioned Celestial Angels, or Blessed intelligences Elemental powers of Light, other Dignified spirits of Light, who are by nature office good, also friendly benevolent unto Mankind; generally inserted them together with Material Distinction, yet Let the grave Sober Magician take notice, that Consideration be first had, of what Angel, or Intelligence, or what Spirit, of what Order, office, he would move or call forth; so in particular to make Mention thereof accordingly, not Otherwise, whereunto Every thing ought by Order nature, Degrees, office, properly to be Referred.
Here endeth the Isagogical Preface
or Second Introduction.

Part 3 - The Demon Princes
On the Devils and Demon Princes
There are many spirits, that are said to be by nature Evil, not only Envious Enemies to man his felicity, but adverse to all goodness whatsoever: and yet have been by magicians of former times (Living in Remote far Countries from us in England and these parts) brought to a Communication, and a Kind of familiarity, with them, whereby their offices natures have been Discovered, but it hath not been Common among men, Especially the meanest Capacities, therefore not at all practiced, neither is it fit to be practiced by any Sober philosopher, unless to Satisfy his Curiosity, because of their Turbulence, But yet they are many times called upon, to bind constrain other Spirits, to Do their offices, which is not at all offensive hurtful or obnoxious, therefore they may be Invocated in Such cases c: we shall mention Some thereof, because of Discerning the Difference thereof, therein let the magick Philosopher use his Discretion c: There are three spirits Called Devils, or infernal spirits, whose names are mentioned in holy writ, namely Lucifer, Beelzebub, Sathan, therefore as they stand recorded in the Sacred Scriptures, we shall hint at something of them, no more.
Lucifer is a great spirit, and may not be Invocated nor Called from his Orders, yet by him as by Tantavalerion other spirits may be adjured and bound, for all sprits that are by nature evil, or at least more malign, than usually many Aerial Terrestrial powers are, such are treated of before, do with a Kind of majesty, Worship obey him: for this Reason he many not be called upon, Except to Constrain other Subservient spirits to fulfil the Commands Requests of the Invocant in any Reasonable thing.
The next is Beelzebub who is a great prince (and it is said that before the fall, he was of the order of Cherubims) and 1000000 spirits do minister unto him. He appeareth very beautiful, giveth to them that call him Gold Silver and maketh them Expert in Science, he appeareth well for half an hour: giveth to Each Demand a true Answer, He giveth a servant or Familiar, which will be faithful obedient, During a man’s Life, whoso Calleth him must have Tears of Amber, Lignum Aloes mastic c: invocate towards the east, in Verbis Conceptis wherein he must be importunately and Earnestly Urged, to Do his office, who then at Length will obey.
he third spirit is called Sathan, who was before his fall of the order of Cherubims, it is Said that because he fell not of his own will, therefore he abideth obscurely in the Air, and so is called the prince of the Air, under whom are four Princes or Kings, bearing Rule in the Air, have power given permitted them, to coruscate and Disturb the Air, whereby many Mischiefs befall the Earth, Doing great hurt, and it was this spirit that tempted our forefathers in the Wilderness to Disobedience.
The four Kings of the Air Ruling under Sathan, together with their Councillors messengers are named as followeth, under whom again are numberless of subservients.
Neopheyn, Barbas, Sebarbas, Alilgon, Gordonizer Lame, Vassago, Othey, Um, Anaboth, Aleche, Berith, Mala

O thou spirit who art called Temel, Messenger of the east, I adjure, call upon, bind, command and Constrain thee, by the power, Dignity authority of the Great and Royal Prince Oriens, the supreme Head of your Hierarchy, I adjure, Command, constrain in the name, by the Supremacy of your Orders, I powerfully Earnestly Urge thee, O thou spirit Temel, Messenger of the East, to appear show thy self Visible, affable, and in all mildness serenity here before us, in no wise turbulent, hurtful or terrible unto us, or any other Creature whatsoever, upon the Earth, but come ye peaceably, Quickly in all plainness humility, give me true faithful Answers and Resolves, readily and willingly, of my demands desires, courteously fulfilling my Request, in all things (according to your Order office) without Delay, fraud, illusion or other deceitful crafts or impositions whatsoever, that may in any wise so hinder, oppose or obstruct my Expectations in the Least, move therefore.
