earth Likewise we are to call to remembrance in w●at manner God made the water to be the instrument of executing his Justice in the destruction of the giants in the general deluge over all the earth and in the overthrow of the host of Pharaoh in the Red-sea also how God led his own people through the midst of the sea on dry ground through the midst of the river of Jordan likewise how marvelously he drew forth water out of the stony rock in the wilderness and how at the prayer of Sampson he caused a fountain of running water to flow out of the cheek tooth of the jaw bone of an ass and likewise how God hath made waters the instrument of his mercy and of salvation for the expiation of original sin also how Christ was baptized in Jordan and hath hereby sanctified and cleansed the waters Moreover certain divine names are to be invocated which are con●o●mable hereunto as that God is a living founta●n living water the fountain of mercy and names of the like kind And likewise in the co●●ec●a●ion of fire we are to commemorate how that God hath created the fire to be an Instrument 〈…〉 his justice for punishment 〈◊〉 ●nd for the expiation of sins also wh●n Go●●●all come to judge the world he will comm●nd a conflagration of fire to go before him And we are to call to remembrance in what m●nner God appeared to Moses in the burning bu●● and also how he went before the children of Israel in a pillar of fire and that nothing can be duely offered sacrificed or sanctified without fire and how that God instituted fire to be kept continually in the tabernacle of the covenant and how miraculously he re-kindled the same being extinct and preserved it elsewhere from going out being hidden under the waters and things of this sort Likewise the names of God are to be called upon which are consonant hereunto as it is read in the Law and the Prophets that God is a consuming fire and if there be any of the divine name which signify fire or such-like names as the glory of God the light of God the splendor and brightness of God And likewise in the consecration of Oil and Perfumes we are to call remembrance such holy things as are pertinent to this purpose which we read in Exodus of the holy anointing Oil and divine names significant thereunto such as is the name Christ which signifies anointed and what mysteries there are hereof as that in the Revelations of the two Olive-trees distilling holy oil into the lamps that burn before the face of God and the like And the blessing of the lights wax and lamps is taken from the fire and the altar which containeth the substance of the flame and what other such similitudes as are in mysteries as that of the seven candlesticks lamps burning before the face of God These therefore are the consecrations which first of all are necessary to be used in every kind of devotion and ought to precede it and without which nothing in holy Rites can be duely performed In the next place now we shall shew unto you the consecration of places instruments and such like things Therefore when you would consecrate any place or circle you ought to take the prayer of Solomon used in the dedication of the Temple and moreover you must bless the place with the sprinkling of holy-water and with fumigations by commemorating in the benediction holy mysteries such as these are The sanctification of the throne of God of mount Sinai of the tabernacle of the covenant of the holy of holies of the temple o● Jerusal●● 〈◊〉 ●●so the sanctification of mount Golo●ha 〈◊〉 ●he crucifying of Christ the s●nct●fication 〈…〉 temple of Christ of mount Tabor by th● 〈◊〉 ●●●f●gur●tion and ascention of Christ and th● 〈◊〉 And by invocating divine names which a●e si●nificant hereunto such as the place of God 〈◊〉 t●rone of God the Chair of God the tabern●c●e o● God the altar of God the habitation of God and such like divine names of this sort which are to be written about the circle or place to be consecrated And in the consecration of instruments and of all other things whatsoever that are serviceable to this art you shall proceed after the same manner by sprinkling the same with holy water perfuming the same with holy fumagations anointing it with holy oil sealing it with some holy Sigil and blessing it with prayer and by commemorating holy things out of the sacred Scriptures religion and divine names which shall be found agreeable to the thing that is to be consecrated as for example sake in consecrating a sword we are to call to remembrance that in the Gospel He that hath two coats c. and that place in the second of Maccabees that a sword was divinely miraculously sent to Judas Macchabeus And if there be any thing of the like in the prophets as that place Take unto you two-edge swords c. In like m●n●● yo●●hall consecrate experiments and books an● wh●●soever of the like nature as it is contained in ●ritings pictures and the like by sprinkling perfu●ing anointing sealing and bl●ssing with holy commemorations and calling to remem●rance the sanctification of mysteries as the sanc●ifications of the tables of the ten commandments which were delivered to Moses by God in mount Sinai the sanctification of the testaments of God the old and the new the sanctification of the law and of the Prophets and Scriptures which are promulgated by the holy Ghost Moreover there is to be commemorated such divine n●mes ●s are fit and convenient hereunto as these are the Testament of God the book of 〈◊〉 ●he book of life the knowledge of God the wisdom of God and the like And with such k●nd of rites is the personal consecration perfo●med There is furthermore besides these another rite of consecration of wonderful power and much efficacy And this is out of the kinds of superstitions that is to say when the rite of consecration or collection of any Sacrament in the Church is transferred to that thing which we would consecrate It is to be known also that vows Oblations and Sacrafice have the power of Consecration as well real as personal and they are as it were certain covenants and conventions between those names with which they are made and us who make them strongly cleaving to our desire and wished effect as when we dedicate offer and sacrafice with certain names or things as fumigations unctions rings images looking-glasses and things less material as deities sigils pentacles inchantments orations pictures and Scriptures of which we have largely spoken in our third book of Occult philosophy There is extant amongst those magicians who do most use the ministery of evil spirits a certain rite of invocating spirits by a book to be Consecrating before to that purpose which is properly called A book of Spirits whereof we shall now speak
