'~ " 55-2 l" of other things, which asyetrlye
hidin fccret Sciences' and Arts; and then there
_was one great qucfiion amongil the refl, why Ma-
giclr,,whereas it was accounted by all ancientlPhi-
lofophcrs the chiefell Sciencc,&by the ancient wife
men, & Priells was always had in great veneration,
came at lafi after the beginning _of the Catholike
Church to be alwaies odious to, and fufpeéicd by
the holy Fathers,-arrdihen exploded byDivines,ancl'
condemned by facred Canons, and moreover by all
Iaws,and ordinances f`orbiddcn.Now the caufe, as I

wicked Sacriledgcs,out of O rthodox Religion,evcn
to the perfection of nature, and dciiruélion of men,
and injury of God, fet forth very many wicked ,and
unlarvfull books, fuch as we' fee carrycd about in
thefe dayes, to which they have by Health prefixed
the tnoft honeil name, and title of Magick. They
therefore by this facred title of Magick, hoped to
gain credit to their cuffed and detcllablc fooleriesi
Hence it is that this name of Magick, ‘formerly ho»
norable, is now in thefc dayes become moft odious
to good and honeik men, and accounted a Capital
crime, if any one dare profefs himfclf to be a
Magician, either in Doé`trine or works, unlefé haply

partly ofadmiration, and partly of indignation, I
was willing to play the Philofophcr, fuppohng that

of the fora- Elements, their qfmlrriex, and rmvruad mixriam.
"B"Here are four Elements, and originall grounds of all cor-
poreall things, Fire, Earth, V ater, Aire, of which all
elementatcd inferiour bodies are compounded; not by way
ofhcaping them up tc;_gether,but by tranfmutatiomand union ;
and when they are de royed,they are refolved into Elements.
For there is none of the fenlible Elements that is pure,but they
are more or lefs mixed. and apt to be changed one into the
other : Even as'Earth,beeorning dirty, and being diifolved,
becomes Water, and the fame being rnadethick and hard, be-
come Earth again ; but being evaporated through heat,pa(l`cth
into Aire, and that being kindled. palleth into Fire , and this
being extinguilhcd , returns back agalninto Aire , buebeing
cooled again after its burning, becomes Earth, or Stone.ide
Sulphur, and this is manifelled by Lightening : Plm alfo was
ol’ that opinion,that Earth was ivhollychangcablgand that the
fell ofthe Elements arechanged, as into this,fo into one :mo~
ther fucceffively. But it is the opinion ofthe fubtiller fore of
Philofophers, that Earth is not changed, but rclented and mix-
cd withpther Elements, which do diliolve it , and thatit re-
turnsback into it (elf a ain. Now every one of the Elements
hath two fpecilicall qu:5ities, the former whereof it retains as
proper to it (elf, in the other, as a mean, it agrees with that
which comes next afterit. For Fire is hot anddry, the Earth
dry and cold, the VVater cold and moill, the Aire moili and
hot. And fo after this manner the Elementsnocording to two
contrary qualities, are contrary one to the other, as Fire to
/ Varcr, and Earth to Aire. Moreoventhe Elements areupon
another account oppolire one to the other : For foine are
heayy, as Earth an VVatcr, and others are light, as Aire and
Fire. V/'hereforc the Stoiclrscalled the former pallives , but
the latter aéiives. And yet once again Plato diltinguilheth
them after another manner, and alligns to every one ol them

compounderhchangeable,and impurtgyct lizch as may by art be
reduced to their pure fimplicity, whole vertue, when they are
thus reduced to thcirhmplicity, doth aboveall things perfect
all occult, and common operations of nature = and thcfc are
thelfdundation of the whole naturall Magick. Of the third
Order are thoi`e Elements, which originally and ofthemfelvcs
are not Elements, but are twice compounded, various, and
changeable one into the other. They are the infallible Medi-
um, and therefore are called the middle nature, or Soul ofthe
lmiddlenatnrezi Very fcwthete are that tinderliand the deep
myileristhereof; ~1n thcmis, bymeans of certain numbers,
degrees, and orders, the pcrfeéiion of every cffefiin what
thing foever, whether Naturall, CeleIliall,tor Supetceleltiall ;
they are full ofewonders, and mylteties, and are operative, as
in~M.agiclcNa£utall , fo Divine : For from thefc ,. through
-thcm,proceed the bindings, loohngs, and tranfmutations‘o£~all
things, the knowing and foretelling of things to come, alfo
thc riving forth ofcvill, and the gaining of good fpirits. Let
no man therefore, without thcfc three forts of Elements, and
the knowledge thereof, be conlidcnt that he is able to work
any thing in the occult Sciences of Magicluand Nature. But

ties ofthe Fircthar is above, are heat, making all things Fruit-

the infemall Fire are a arching heat, confuming all things,

an Analogy with, and is the fucbiculum of that Superior light;
as alfo of him. who faith, Iam the Light ofthe Warld,which is
true Fire, the Father of lights ,e from whom every good
thing that is given,Comes ; lending forth the light of his Fire,
and communicating it firlt to the Sun, andthe reli of the Ce-

veying that light into our Fire. As therefore the fpirits of

is Divine,ofrhc Sun,and Celcliziall, but alfo by the light ofour

count it as a /Iledium or glcw, joyning things together , and
as the refounding lpirit of the worlds inflrument. It immedi-
atly receives into itklfthe influencies ofall Cclelliall bodies,
and then communicates them to the other Elements, as alfo to
all mixt b0dies:Alfo it-receives into it felths if it _were a divine

Men, and other Animals, through their pores, rnakesan Im-
prellion upon them, as well when they fleep, as whentheybe

where a man was {lain,or the Carkafe newly hid,is moved with
fear and dread; becaufe the Aire in that place being fullof
the dreadfullfpecies of I*/an-flaughter, doth, being breathed
in, move and trouble the fpirit ofthe man with the like fpeci-
es , whence it is that he comes to be afraid. For every thing
,that makes a fudden imprcflion, allonilheth nature. Whence
it is, that many Philofophers were of opinion that Aire is the
caufe of dreams, and of many other impreffions of the mind,
through the prolonging of Images, orlimilitudes, or fpecies
(which are fallen from things, and fpeeghes, rnultiplyed in the
very Aire)untill they come to the fenfesfind then to the phan-

Many things all`o there are artificially made, which men much

cold Water, when it is fprinkled upon it ; and a Eire which is
kindled either with Rain, Wind, or the Sun; and there if
madea Fire, which is called burning Water, the Confeéiion
whereof is well known, and it confumes nothing but icifelf:
and alfo there are made Fires that cannot be quenched, and in-
combuftible Oyles, and perpetuall Lamps, which can be extin-
guiihed neither with Wind, not Water, not any other way;
which fecms uttc rly incredible, but that there hadbecn fuch a

conceive,& imagine divers vertues,not only things naturall,but
alfo fometimesthings artificial, and thisefpecially if the Soul
ofthebperator be inclined towards the fame. Whence Avicm
iaith; that whatfoever things are done here, mull: have been
before in the motions,and conceptions of the Stars,andOrbes.
So in things, various cffcfls , inclinations, and difpolitions
are occalioned not only from the matter varioully di( ofed, as
many fuppofe,but from a various iniluence, and diverfgz form -
not truly with a Qaecifical difiercnce, but peculiar, and pfopq-T
And the degrees ol rhefe are varioufly dillributed by the iirli
Caufe of all things, God hin1fel£ who being unchzingeablg
diilributes to every one as he pleaferh , with whom notwithf
flanding fecond Caufes,Angelical, and Celeilial cooperate, dit?
pofing of the Corporcal matter, and other things tha; are
committed to them. All vertues therefore are infixfed by God,
through the Soul of the World, yet by a particular power of

Z aebzrizr writes to Mirbriditu, that great powct,and humane
deliinies are couched in the vertues of Stones, and l-leatbs.
But to know from wheneethefe come, a higher fpecplztion is
required. Alexander the Peripatcticke not going any further
then his fenfes, and qualities, is ofthe opinion that thele pro-
ceedfrom Elements, and their qualities, which haply might
be fuppofed to be true, ifrhofe were of the fauie fpeeies;
but many of the operations of the Stones agree neither
if; mere, nor _/_iecit-. Therefore Plata, and his Sclrollers at-
ttihgute thefe vertues to .Ide.s’:, the formers of things. But Avi-
an reduceth thefe kinds of operations to Intelligencies,
Hcrrims to the Stats, t/Illfrmu to the fpecificall forms of
things. And although thefe Authors feem to thwart one the o-i
ther, yet none of them, if they be rightly underliood,goes be-
fide the truth: lince all their fayings are the farne in elfeéi in
rnoli things. For Godin the lirftplace is the end, and begin-
ingiol all Vertues, he gives the (cal ofthe ldmtr to his fetvants
Fnelntelligencies; who as faithfull officers lign all things in-
trulied to them with an ldeall Vertne, the Heavens, and Stars,

ted to them, that fo all Vettue of Stones, Hearbs, Metals, and
all other things may come from the Intelli encies,the Gover-
nouts. The Form therefore, and Vertue ofg things comes (itll:

thcreforeare performed in thefe inferiour things by exptdg

cies by mediating rules, in the originiill Caufe by ldm’x,an§ex-
emplary forms, all which muli of neceility agree in the exem-
tion ofthe effect, and vertue of every thing.
There is therefore a wonderfull vettue, and operation in
every Hearb, and Stone, but greater in a Star, beyond which,
even from the governing I ntelligencies every thing receiveth,
and obtains many things for it felt; efpecially from theSu-
pream Caufe, with whom all things do mutually, and exafily
correfpond, agreeing in an harmonious confent, as it were in

works then are called Miracles : But whereas fecondary caufes;
which Plato, and others call handmaids, do by the Command,

So when Cbrill was Crucihcd the Sun was darkened, though at

from the Four Elements, but acertain lirll: thing, having its be-

l 'I' is moll evident,that in the inferiournature all the powers
Inf fupctiour bodies are not found comprehended inany
one thing, but are difperfed through many kinds of things a-
mongli us ; as there are many Solary things, whereof every
one doth not contain all the vertues of the Sun: hut fome have
fame properties from the Sun, and othersotherfome. Where-
fotcitis fometimes neceifary that there be mixtions in npe.

were difperfed through fo many Plants,Anima|s,& the like,wc
may gather all thefe together, and bring them into one form,
in which we lhall lee all the (aid vertuer, being united, con-
tained. Now there is a twofold vcrtue in commixtion,one,~vi.e,
_which was firlt planted in its parts, and is Celefiiall, the o.
ther is obtained by a certain, and artiriciall mixtion of things
mixt amonglt themfelves, and ofthe mixtions of them accor-

certain likenefs, and aptnefs that is in things amongft them-

For thisis the harmony of the world,that things fupercclelliall

Ings alfo, which were alwaies much elleemed of by the
R Ancients, when they are opportuncly made, do in like
manner imprels their verrue upon uc, in as muchas they do af-
fe& the fpirir of him that carries themwith gladnefs or fad-
neF;, and render him courteous, or rerrible,bold, orfearfull,
amiable, or hatetiill ; in as much alfo as they do fortifie usa-
gainlk licknels, poifons, enemies, evill fpirits, and all manner
.of hunfullthings, or at leal`r will not fuffer ns to be kept
under them. Now the manner of making rhefe kinds of
Rings, is this, viz. when any Star afcends fortunately,
with the fortunate albeéi, or eonil1&ion of the Mm,
we mull: takeaflone, and Heath that is under that Star, and
,make a Ring ofthe Metal! that is fucable to this Star, andin ir
fallen the Prone, putting the Hearb , or root under ir; not 0-
mitting the infcrigtions of images, names, and Charaélers, as
alfo the proper utfumigations, but we (hall fpeak more of
thcfe in another place, where we (hall treat of Images, and
Charaéiers. So we read in Phila/Irma far-chu.: , tharawife
Prince of the Indians bellowed (even Rings made afterthis
manner, marked with the venues, and names ofthe (even Pla-
nets to ApaL'anin:,oF which he wore every day one,di[i:ingni[h-
ing them according to the names of the dayes, by the benefit
of which he lived above one hu ndred and thirty years, as alfo
alwaies retained the beauty, of his youth( In like manner
GMM: the Law- giver, 'and ruler of the Hebrews, being skill-
ed inthe Egyptian Magicli, is faidby ?cWph:u to have made
Rings of love, and oblivion; Therc~wasa|lo,as faith /Iri/Ia:/c,
amongfl the Cirmcan: a Ring oflirrzrns, which could procure
love and honour. We read alfo that Eudamru a certain Philo-
fbpher made Rings again!! the bites of Scrpenrs, bewitchings,
and evil fpirits. The fame doth ?<Wpbw relate of .S`a!aman.

loft thc pulfe of his whole body, fo that his heart was not
perceived to move, and he lay like a dead man. Allo it is (aid
that a man by reafon ofa ful lrom an high place,or great noife,
or long llaying under the Water, may fall into a livoun, which
may continue fourty eight hours, and fo helyeas if hewere

firmed by the traditions of Philofophets, the authorities of
Divines, the examples of I-Iiliories, and daily experience. DA
DreamIcallhere,not vain Dreams, or idle imaginations: for
thofe are vain, and have no Divination in them, but arife from
the remains of watchin s, and diliurbancc of the body. For
asthe mind is taken up aiour, and wearied with cares, it fug-
gefts itfelfro him that is alleep. I call that :t Dream here,which
is cauled by the Cclelliall influences in the phantafiick fpirit,
mind, or body, being all well difpofed. The rule of interpre-
ting this is found amonglt Allrologers, in that part whichis
wrote concerning quellions; but yet that is not lilfficient, be--
caufe thefe kind of Dreams come by ufe to divers men afrcrn
divers manner, according to the divers quality, and dilpohti-

it be any thing within the body,is a melancholy humor, not
ghge which they call black choller, which is fo obllinatc` and
terrible a thing, that the violence of itisfaid by Phylitians,
and Natural! Phylofophers, belidcs rnandnelé, which it doth in.
duce, alfo to entice evill fpirits to_feize upon mens bodies.
Therefore we nnderltand a melancholy humor here, to be a na-
turall, and white eholler. For this,whcn it is llirred up,burns,
and llirs up a madnefs conducing to knowled e, and divina-
tion, efpecially if it be helped by any Celelliall influx, efpeci-
ally of Snrrrm , who feeing he is cold, and dry, ae is 1 melan-

elt of all the planets, doth alwaies as with call his mind from
outward bulineffes, fo alfo makes it afccnd higher, and bef-
ftows upon him the knowledge, and alfages of future things.
And this is Argdozler meaning in his hook of Problemes. By
Melzmtholy, faithhe, fome men are made as it were divine,
foretelling things to come,and foine men are made Poets. He
faith all'o,that all men that were excellent in any Science. were
forthe molk part melancholy. D¢meriru:,and~7~'I.zra atteft
the fame,faying, that there were fome melancholy men, that
had fuch excellent wits, that they were thought, and feemed
to be rather divine then humane.So alfo there have been many
melancholy men at firll rude, ignorant, and untra&able, as

(ny therefore , when the mind is forced with 2 melancholy
humor , nothing moderating the power Oli the body, and
Pilmng beyond the bonds of the members , is wholly carried
into imagination, and doth fuddenly become a fcatforin-
fcrior fpigiu , by whom it oftentimes receives wonderfull

ignorant man doth prefently become an excellent painter, or

Bur when thefe kinda of fpirirs portend to us future things,
then they (hcw thofc things which belong to the dillurbing of

¢¢ive a bitter fpitle in their mouth. And ndlliam ofI’.n-ik iaith,
that he faw a man , that attheiightof amedicinc, went to
[kool as oft as he pleafed; whenas neither the fublhnee of the
medicine, nor the odour, nor the tallzof it eameto him .» but
only a kind of refemblance was apprehended by him. Upon
this account fome that are in a dream think they burn, and are
in afire, and are fearfully tormented, as if they did truly
burn, when as the fubilance of the fire is not neer them, but
onlyarcfemblanee apprehended by their imagination. And
fometimes mens bodies are transformed , and transfigured,
and alfo tranfported, and this oft times when they arc
in a dream , and fometimes when they are awake. So
Cjprux after he was chofen King of Italy, did very much
wonder at, and meditate upon the light, and vi&ory of Buls,
and in the thought thereof did lleepa whole night , but in
themotning was found horned, no otherwifc then by the ve~
getarive power beinglhrred up by a vehement imagination,
elevating cornifcrous humors into his head, and producing
horns. For a vehement cogitation, whilefi it vehemently
moves the fpccics, pi&ures out the figure of the thing thought
on, which they reprefent in their blood, and theblood im.
ptelleth from it {elf.on the members that are nourifhed by it,as
upon thofe of the fame body, fo upon thofe of anothers. As
the imagination of a woman with child imprelleth the mark of
the thing longed for upon her infant, and the imagination ofa
mm bit with a mad Dog, impreifeth upon his Urine the image
oi D0gs.So men may grow grey on a fuddain.And fome by the
dream Ofone night, have grown up from boics into perfrfl
men. Hithcrto may be referred thofe many (carts of King D.:-

and? Organs of motion to motion, and are moved without any
millake unto the imagined placc,not out ofiighr, but from the
interiour Fautafy. So great a power is there of the foul u pon
the body,that which way foever that imaginespnd dreams the;
it goes, thither doth it lead the body. We read many other ex-
amples by which the power of the _foul upon the body is won.
derlially explancd, as is that which Az/icm defcribes of acer.
tain m.m,who when he pleafed could affc& his body with the
pallie. They report of Grzllm Wlzixfr , that he did fall into
madnels not eal`ually,hut on purpofc r for whilell he didimi.
tate mad men,he allimilated their maduefs to hirnfelf, and
became mad indeed. And Jig/Hn makes mention of fome men
who would move their cars attheiepleafure , and fomcthat
would move the crown of their head to their forehead , and
could draw it back again when they pleafed = andof an..
other that could fweat at his plcaliire. And it is well
known,thatl`omeean weep attheir plcafure, and pour forth
abundance of tears : and that there are fome that can brin up
what they have fwallowed, when they pleafe, as out of aiag,
by degrees. And we fee that in theft: daycs there arermany
_whocan l°o imitate, and exprefs the voices ol Birds,*Cattle,
Dogs, and fome men, that they can fcarce at all be difcerncd.

Now how much imagination can do upon the foul, no maniis

ofthe Soul are the ehiefell caule of the tem crament ot' its

things, every where prefent at all times, keeping the power
of things, as the effence of the thing hgnified, rules , andis
dikerned in them, and know thethings by them, as by pro-

For an odd number is the4 M;rle, and the even the Female.
Whence /!n'rbmriri¢zm call that the Father, and this the Mo.

vertue, which rocecds from the mixtion of :hclk number; ;
It is all`o thc iulgmidle off the univerlal number,-vie. ten. For if
ydu divide the number ten.there will be nineand onc,or eight
and two,or (even andthree,0r,l`xx and four, and every colleéli.
on makes the number ten, and the exafl' midle alwaies is the
number five, and its equadiltant; and therefore it is called
by the Pythagorean: the number of Wledlodt, aa al fo of iuliice,
becaufe rt divides the number ten in an even Seal _ .There bb
live fenfes in man, light, hearing, Imelling, taliinéiilli/e pow;

IU: affirmed by Magicians, that there are certain tables of
numbers dillributed to the (even planets, which thc call
the faered tables ofthe planets, endowed with many, ancfvcry
mt vertues ofthe Heavens,in as much as they rcprcfent tha;
givine order of Cclclliall numbers, impreffed upon Celefliali
by the Idrirof the divine mind, by means of the foul of the
world,aud the fweet harmony of rhofe Celciiiall reyes, (igni-
fying according to the proportion of efiigies,{'upcrtelel`tiall In-
telligencies, which can no other way be exprelfed, then by
the marks of numbers,and Charzeicrs. For materiall numbers;
:rnd'ligures can do nothing in the mylieries of hid things, but
reprefentatively by formal! numbersy and' figures , as
they are governed, and informed by inrelligencies, and divine
numerarions, which unite the cxtreams ofthe matter, and fpi-
rit to the will of the elevated foul , receiving through
great nfifeéiion, by the Ccleliiall power of the operator;
power from God, applycd through the foul ofthe univerfc,and
obfervations of Celcikiall conliellationa, to smarter fit for a
form, the mediums being difpofed by the skill, andindultry

MOrcover we (hall not deny, that there is in Sounds a

and Plato we thought the heavens to coniifi by an Harmonial

tones and motions ; Singing can do more then the found of an
Infhumcnt, in as much asit ariiing by an Harmonial confent,
fiom the conceit ofthe minde, and imperious afftfiion ofthe
phantatic and heart, ealily penatrateth by motion, with the
refraéled and well tempered Air, the :rcrious fpirit of the

the affeéiion and minde of the Singer with it , It movcth the
affcfiion of the heater by his affcélion, and the bearers phanta-

either true and manifefi, or hath a certain analogy. But every.

voyce is a found and animate breath ; Speech is a breath pro.

ward cavity of the brealt and heart, by the affiflance ofthe

vocall organs, are delivered forth articulate founds; the
elements of fpcech, by which Interpreter the ferret motiohsof

found cannot be made without Air, yet is notfound of the ua-

ofthe life of our feniitive fpitit, and is not ofthe nature of any
fenfible objeéi, but ofa more ftmple and higher vertue ; but it
is meet that the fenlitive foul fhould vivihe the air ioyned to it ;

fome wonderfull thing may be received; for the beamsof
the Celeliizill bodies being animated,living,fenfuall,1nd bring-
ing along with them admirable gifts, and amofi violent pow-f
er, do, even in a moment, and at the lirft touch, imprint swong
derfull powers in the Images, though their matter beleik ta-
pable. Yet they bellow more powerfull venues on thelm-
ages,if they be framed not of any,but ofa certain mztter,n:tme-
ly whofc natorall, and alfo fpecificall vertue is agreeable with
the worlt,and the figure ofthe image is like to the CelelliaI;i'ot
fueh an Image, both in regard of the matter naturally congru-
ousto the operation and Celeliiall influence, and :rlfo for its
figure being like to the Heavenly one, is bell prepared to re-
ceive the operations and powers of the Celeiliall bodies and

then it eonlhntly worketh on another thinlg, and other things
do yeeld obedience to it. Hence faith ‘Pro my in cmilagmb,
that inferior things do obey the Celefiiall , and not only
them, but alfo even their Images ; Even as earthly Scorpions
obey not only the Celefiiall Scorpion, but alfo his Image,
if it (hall be opportunely figured under his afeent and Domi1

THe world, the heavens, the Stars, and the Elements have
a foul, with which they eaufe a foul in thefe inferiorand
mixed bodies. They lmcal o aswe laid in the former book ,a
(lPirit, which by thcraodiating of the foul is united to the bo.
y: For as the woald is a certain whole body, the pm,
whereof arethe bodiesof all living creatures, and by hotv
mush the whole ismorefeefefi and noble then the parts, by fo
much more pet&B, an noble is the body of the world then
the bodies of each living thingie would be abfurd, that all im-
perfetibodiea and partsof the world, and every bafe Ani-
mal, as Flies, and Worms lhould be worthy of a life, and have
alife and foul, and the whole entire world amoll perfeér,
whole, and moll: noble body, (hould have neither life,nor foul;
It is no lei? abfnrd, that Heavens. Stars, Elements, which give
to all things life, and foul mol! large! , [hould thernfelves be
without lile,and foul; and that every plvant , or tree fhguld be
of a more noble condition then therl-leaven, Stars, and Ele-
ments, which are naturally the caufe ol' them ; And what living.
man can deny that earth. and water live, which of thetufelves,
generate, vivilie, nourilh , and increafc innumerable trees,
plmts, and livin creatures ? as moll manifclily aplpeats in
th' that breeg of their own accord. and in tho e which

noutilh fueh kind of ltvnn creatures, if they themfelves were
without life or foul. But%ome haply may lay, that (nth kind
ofliving creatures are not generated b the foul ofthe earth.

']["H:tt the above named fouls have real`on,is apparent hcnrc;
For whereas the univerfall works of the forefrid fouls do
with: certain perpetuall order confpirc amongli thernfclves,it
is neceffary that they be governed not by chance but by rcafon;
by which rezfon they do dire&,& bringall their op: rations to

rezfon of terrene thinggand water of watery things; and lo
in the reli; by which reafon each in theirtime. place, and ordtr'
are generated, and being lxnrt are repaired. Therefore Philo-
fophers do not think the foul of the earth to be as it were
the foulof fome contemptible body, but to he rationall and
alfo intelligent, yea and to be at diety. Belidcs it would he
abfurd, feeing we have rcafons of our works, that Lcltliiafl

they receive from the Divine name,twelve times revolved;and
in the foundations of that City the names of the twelve Apo.

under heaven given unto men, by which they can he f;rvcd,but
that; but let us not think, that by naming 7421: ptophanely,

what kind foeverthely be of, poffellingthem like Demons”
7>]rb.1_g»w is of the amc opinion, and before himlfryint-t
$i{}m,a{l'erting that wicked fouls do oftentimes go into creep-
ing things, and into btutcs, neither do they as elfcntiall forms
vivinc and inform thofc bodies, but :ts an inmate dwell there
asin at prifon , or Rand nee: them by a locall indiftanceasan
internall mover to the thing moved; or being tyed to them
are tormented,ms Ixion to the wheels of fetpents, Syliphus to a
llone ;neithcr do they cntcrinto brutes only, but fometitncs
into men, as we have fpoken concerning thc foul of Nalzaaxb
which went forth; lying fpirit in the mouth of thc Prophets.
Hence fomc have alferted that the lives , or fpirits of wicked
men going into the bodies of fomc men, have dillntbed them,
and fometimes flew them. Which is motcfoxtnnately granted
unto blelfed fouls that like good Angclélthey lhould _dwell in

fern: l Demon, which they called Enrinamur, who would eat
the Hcfh ofdezd men , and devourit fo that thebonee would
fearce be left. We read alfo in the Chronicles of the frmn-
jianr, that the gholls which they call feterbme were wont to
return back into their bodies, and go in to their wives , and
lie with them ;for the avoyding of which, and that they might
annoy their wives no more,itw:ts provided in the common
lswes that the heart of them that did arife [hould be thrall
thorow with at nail , and their whole carcalfe be burnt. Thefc
without doubt are wonderfull things, :md ftaree credible, but
that thofe lawes , and ancient Hillories make them credible.
Neither is it altogether Grange in Chriiiian Religion that ma.-
ny fonls were refiored to their bodies,before the univerfall te-
furreéion. Moreover we belecve that many by the Gngulztr
favour of God are together with their bodies received to
glory, and that many went down alive to hell. And we have
heard that oftentimes the bodies of the dead were by the de-
vils taken from the graves,withour doubt for no other ali: then
to be imprifoned, and tormented in their hands. And to thefe
prifons and bonds of their bodies there are iztdded alfo the
polleiliohs of moll hlthy and abominable plates, where are
féfnrm fires , gulfes of water,the (halrings of thunder, and
lightening , gapings of the earth , and where the region is
void of light , and receives not the rayes of the Sun , an_d
knows not the light of the Stars, but is alwayes dark. Whtf

Dorations, and vowes, facrifiees, and oblations are cer-
tain degrees in Gtcrcd to things find out God, and thofe
things which principally provoke the divine plcafnre, and
procure afacrcd an iudilfolvible communion of God with
fouls; for b prayers which we utter with true and iaered
words, fenlibly, and affe€iionately,wc obtain a great power,
when by the application of them to any diety we do fo fat
move it, that he may dire& his fpeech and anlwcr by at
divine my , by which ( as fxith €Di<m]f/rr) God Qleaks with
men, but fo ooeultly that very few perceive ir. But often,
times that King and Prophet Dfwid perceives it , when he
faith, lwill hear what the Lord will fpcak in me. Adoration
therefore being a long time continued, and often frequented,
perfefis therintcllcft, and mrkes the foul more large forthe
receiving of divinelights, inlitmiug divine love, producing
fiith, hope , and facred manners, purilieth the foul from all
contrariety, :tndwlut is :tnyaway advetfe to it, and doth
alfo rcpelldivers egrils, which would otherwilb naturally fall

are as it were palfages to that very God. Know therefore tha t
adorations and vowes mul! with a pure and Eious mind be
principally made to that one only God, the ughefi father,
Kingand Lords of all the god. But when they [hall come be-
fore to the inieriour gods, let the intention of the admini.
[tration be terminated in them ; therefore to adoration: , and
vowes, when they be dirc&cd to the inferiour dieties , Zn.
mafia and Qrpfmu thought fitting that fuifurnigations and
charaeiicrs ihould be ufed ; But when they are erefted to "the
rnaieiiy of the fupream God, they mu not in any wife ;
which alfo Hn-mn, and ‘Plan forbid to bc done. Whence
Hermes t0‘I1zriw ; This( faithhe) is like to facriledge when
thou prayeii to God to be willing to kindle frankineenfe, and
fuch like; For (faith ‘Porplgrie ) they are not agreeable to
pietyfor there is not any material] thing can be found,which
to t e immatcriall God isrtot unclean. Therefore neithetis
that prayer whichis uttered by words agreeable ro him, nor
that prayer which is mentall, if the mind be polluted with
vice; Secondly there is allo required a certain aliirnilation of
our life to the divine life. in purity , chaftity and holinefé,
with a lawful! deiire of that which we wilh for; for by this
means we cfpecially obtain the divine ber:cvolence,and are
fnbjeficd to the divine bounty ; for unleIl`e we. having our
minds purréed , be worthy to be heard; and alfo thok things
which we elite, be worthy to be done, it is maniftli that
the gods will not hearken to our prayers; whence divine Plato
faithnhat God cannot be bound by our prayer; or giiis to do
uniuil things; therefore let us deiirc nothing of God.whieh
we thinkuncomely to wilh for: for by this means only,wc fee
that very many are ftulirated of their prayers and vo es,bg.
caufe that neither they themfelves are Religiouily difpokd,
nor are their deiircs and prayers made for rhofe thing;
which are well pleaiing to God , neither do they know to
difcern in what order they ought to pray , and through what
mtdiatours they ought to go to God ; the ignorance of which
doth very oft reduce our prayers and (applications to nothing,
and caufeth our deiires and wifhes to be denied. ,

Onfecration is a lifting up of experiments , by which:
Cfpirituallfoul, being drawn biy proportion and cou~
iY>rmity,is infufed into the matter o our works according to
the tradition of Ma iciall art ri htly and ltwfullytpreparcd,
end our woritis siviiged by the iipirtt of underilan ing._ The
ggica of confecrations is pcrf`e&ed by two things cipecully,
viz. :bc vertue of the perfon himfelf eonfccrattng , and the
ivertuc ofthe raycrit felii In the perfon himfelf is required
holincffc of iife, and a power to confecratc; the former,
nature and defer: perform; the latter is acquired by :mira-
tion, and dignification , of which we have fpoken elfewhere.
Then it is necelfary that he that facrificeth mul! know this ver-
tne and powcrin himfelii with :L firm and undoubted Faith,
Now what things un: required in przycr,are rhefc. Thereis
aifozcertain powerof fandifying placed in ithy God,as_if it
be fo ordained of God for this or that very thing (of which
fort we read of many inthe holy writ ) or inflitutcd to this
or that thing, bythe vcrtue of the holyghoii , according to
the ordination of the Church , of which fort are many every
where extent : oi- this holinehis in the prayer ie fclfc ,t not by
vertue ofxnfhtuuon , but of the commemoration of fzcred'
things, as of fmered letters, hiflories , miracles , works, rf-
feéls, favours, prornifes, ihcramenrs and fueh ihcramentall
things , which (hail feernto cohere with the thing to he con~
fccrated, either properiy,or im properly or analogically. And
of`tlei2:jwe Ihr inow give fume cxampics, by whirha my
cahly may berlgid opcn"to the whole coniideration ‘oft it. So
in the confccritiug of water there is this commemoration
made , wat becanfe Gtodpiaced the hrmumcnt in the midci:
