Ars Almadel

Here beginneth the fourth part of this Booke which is called Salomons Almadel Art.

expunctum: By this Art Salomon obtained great wisdom from the cheife Angells that governe the 4 Altitudes of the world, for you must observe there be 4 Altitudes, representing the 4 corners of the world, East, west, North, and South. The which are divided into 12 parts, that is every part or Altitude into 3, and the Angells of every of these altitudes have their particular vertues and powers, as shall be shewed in this following matter &c.

————————●————

Make the Almadel of pure white wax illegibile it [is] coloured suteable to the altitude; it is to be 4 square, and six Inches every way [over[?]]; and in every corner a hole, and write betwixt every [hole?] with a new pen these words or names [of God[?]] following, but this is to be illegibile strike[?] upon the first part towards the East Adonai, Helomi, Pine, and upon the Second towards the South Helion, Heloi, Heli, and upon the west part Iod, Hod, Agla, and upon the fourth part which is the north write these names Tetra- grammaton, Shadai, Iah, and betwixt the first and the other quarters make the Pentacle of Salomon thus figura: pentagramma/stella quinque punctorum, and betwixt the first and other quarters write this word Anabona, and in the midst of the Almadel make a [triangle[?]] figure and in the midst of it a triangle wherin expunctum must be written these names of God Hel, Helion Adoni, and this last name round in the 6 Angled figure, as you may expunctum: see in this figure here made it being for an example &c. · · · · · · · ·

figura: quadratum (tabella) orientatum cum South supra, North infra (titulus inversus), East ad sinistram et West ad dextram; in quoque angulo circulus cum puncto (foramina) et stellae quinque punctorum in angulis interioribus. Fascia superior interior: HELION HELOI HEL[I] et infra ANABONA. Latus sinistrum (verticale, ab imo ad summum): Adonai, Helomi, Pin[e]; fascia interior sinistra: Anabona.

illegibile the [like of the?] same wax there must be made [4 feet?] illegibile Almadel, & you must illegibile the wax into two [parts?] illegibile the said 2 parts is to make the [Almadel?] illegibile, and the [other?] illegibile wax, for to[?] [support?] illegibile illegibile make illegibile wax of pure illegibile Helion, Hellujon, Adonai; &c[?] Note that [the?] [first?] altitude is called Chora [Orientis?] illegibile illegibile this Chora it is to be done illegibile illegibile is to make all things illegibile illegibile no more illegibile illegibile Iam[?] illegibile Alimiel, Gabriel, Borachiel, Lebes & [Hellison] Note, you must not pray to [any?] of these [Angells?] illegibile expunctum/maculum to all such illegibile illegibile (plures lineae paene illegibiles, lineatione transfixae) illegibile illegibile written in illegibile invocation as [is here?] [set] downe at the latter end of this p[art] &c[?] illegibile when he appeareth, he appeareth illegibile in the form illegibile illegibile preceding of a [white?] [colour?] illegibile and here illegibile as a [prince?] illegibile the apparishion illegibile it was a mile illegibile reliquum columnae illegibile propter evanescentiam atramenti ferrogallici

ad pedem, linea centrata: illegibile Chora [Orientis?]

illegibile as much [as you can?] illegibile then it is prepared, the first Chora which increaseth illegibile great increase and Barrenness &c illegibile illegibile if [these] Angels doe appeare in any of the other 3 Choras or Altitudes, they must [not?] doe it illegibile in the manner as they are here; But [doe?] not pray, for any thing that is con- trary to the honour of God[?] illegibile, or against God and his Laws, but what God gives [in?] a [natural?] cause of any of them illegibile &c. All you may [desire?] to obtaine, illegibile illegibile to the honour and one [to?] prince illegibile illegibile Chora illegibile as followeth &c Alphariza. Genon. Geron Armon. Gereinon. &c illegibile when you operate kneele before the Almadel with a labell illegibile illegibile in a illegibile ~~expunctum~~ illegibile with the same colour also, for the [holy?] a illegibile will be of illegibile and when illegibile put the earthen Bason under to illegibile illegibile with a graine of Mastick in powder to fume as above written, and when the [smoak?] ariseth illegibile he turneth his face toward you, [asking?] the Exorcist with illegibile why he hath called the prince of this Chora or Altitude, then you must answer illegibile [saying?] I desire that my Request may be granted, and the contents there of may be accomplished, for your office maketh appear and declare all that such it to be done, if you of it please and &c. you must not be fearfull but [aske?] humbly saying &c I recomend my self into your office, and I pray unto your prince of this Altitude that I may enjoy your wishes & desires &c. you may further express your mind in all particulars in your prayer &c Doe the like in the 2 other Choras that follow &c illegibile

The Angell of this second Altitude appeareth in the form of a young child with clothes of sattin and of a red Rose colour, having a crown of Red gillyflowers upon his head, his face looking upward to heaven and is of a red colour and is compassed round about with a bright splendour, as the Beams of the sunn; and before he departeth he speaks to the Exorcist, saying [I am?] your Freind and Brother and illuminatith the ayre with his splendour and [pleasant?] smell, [which lasteth?] a long time &c illegibile

______ Third Chora or Altitude In this Chora illegibile doing illegibile The Angells of this Altitude are named as followeth Eliphamalai, Gelomiros Gedobonai, Saranana, & Elomnia, they appear in the form of children or little women dressing, in green and silver colours, is very delightfull to behold, and a crown of Bay leaves, [set?] with flowers of white and green colours upon their heads and they seeme to look a little downwards with their faces &c They speak as the other doe to the Exorcist and leave a mighty sweet perfume behind them &c illegibile

beset with Ivy Berries [&c] and all very beautifull and comely, and are compass- -ed round with a bright shining of every colour they draw a sweet smell behind them also; but differeth from the other something &c illegibile

Note: There are 12 princes ruling besides those in the 4 Altitudes and they issue in [alter?] their offices amongst themselves, every one ruling 30 dayes every year; now it will be in vain to call any of those Angells unless it be those that then govern[eth], For every Chora or Altitude, hath its limited time according to y[e] 12 signs of the Zodiack and in that signe the sunn is in, That Angell or those angels that belong to that same have the government: as for Example, suppose I would [call] the 2 [first?] of those 5 that belong to the first Chora, then chuse the first sunday on [March?] that is after the Sun is entered [figura: ♈ Aries] and then I make my experiment; and so doe the like if you will the next sunday after again; But if you will call the 2[?] second that belong to y[e] first Chora. Then you must take the sundays that are in April after the [figura: ☉ Sol] is entered [figura: ♉ Taurus]. But if you call the last of the 5[th] Then you must take those sundays that are in may after the [figura: ☉ Sol] is entered [figura: ♊ Gemini] to make your experiment in: doe the like in the other Altitudes, for they have all one way of working: But the Altitudes have their names, illegibile in the [Zodiac?] illegibile here as a Character, in some near the same, of [and?] that we attribute to them illegibile near it as the be vertue, of that Character, therefore it is in vain to call any name or Spirit unless you know what names of angels rule them, [as before said?] observe the forme of the following conjuration or Invocation &c &c

These following Orations may be said before all Arts generally; & before all notes specially; & they may be pronounced without any other Chapters. if thou wouldest Operate in any Art, saying these Orations in due time & Order, thou maist haue great Effi[c]acy in any Art, & in saying these Orations, Neither the time, Day, nor Date to be observed; but take heed the[?] on those dayes you abstaine from all sinn; as drunkenesse, gluttony, Especially Swearing, before you proceed thereunto that your Knowledge therein may be the more perfect & Cleer.

Wherefore Solomon saith: when I was to pronounce these Orations I feared, Least I should offend God; & I appointed to my selfe a time therein to beginne them; that liueing chastly I might appeare the more Innocent.

These are the Proaemiums of these Orations that I might Lay downe in Order every thing, Whereof thou maist doubt, without any other definition, & before thou begin to try any of these Subtile workes, it is good to fast twoo or three dayes, that it may be diuinly revealed, whether thy desires be good or Evell
