If the spirit does not come at the second, then let him read the third[?] time; and if at the third it comes not, nor image nor answer has given, let the master revoke[?] for himself that he no longer[?] call that spirit nor conjure it, because if he does we say that he has gone against the precepts of the art[?]. And if the master receives[?] some harm, let him hold it [illegible], for the spirit by this[?] is not bound to answer. But if the spirit comes, then benignly let him receive it saying: «Well may you have come»[?]; and let him command it to harm no one, neither on the way[?] of its coming, nor in its withdrawal. Then benignly let him listen to its words and hold in the marrow[?] those that come forth from its mouth. And after the colloquy, if it then pleases the master to ask anything, in brief speech[?] and wisely let him make his petitions and diligently retain its answers. And when it pleases[?] him to license it, let him say: «Go in peace, and in coming do not delay»[?]. Then let him make the sign of the cross on his forehead; then, with most devout mind, let him begin for himself: «Redeemer of the world» [and?] and «Deus vince»[?] and «all the kingdoms of the world» [ver?] up to the kyrieleison. Then let him make the sign of the cross upon his forehead, and swiftly withdraw and go to his own place [where?] he held the spirit. Then let him go to that place in which the spirit was, and [with?] the reading of the aforesaid[?] prayers before he makes it depart from the [titulo?]. Then let him receive himself, signing with the [present?] cross, so that the spirit[s] may withdraw from those parts. And if it should happen that through his ministry[?] [he attains] such familiarity that it reveals to him its most resplen- dent secret and its science of the art[?]...
