would know if two fellows shall love one another look if the Lords of the first and the seventh be friends and agreeing then they will love one another but if they be enemies and disagree then they will not If you desire to know who shall overcome in any cause matter or controversie behold the Lords of the first and the seventh which if they be in Angles neither of them shall overcome and see which of them is joyned with an evil Planet because he shall overcome and if the Planet be evil from them both the victor shall kill the conquered if one of them be strong and the other weak and the Planet which is in the strong House do not fall nor hath not an evil Planet with him and if he which is weak be not in his own House nor in his exaltation nor with a good Planet he whose Planet is in the strong House shall overcome likewise he whose significator is in a mean House shall have great fear and doubt in his heart because sometimes he shall hope to conquer and otherwhiles fear to be overcome And note that in a Question concerning war and kingdom it is said that there is more power and efficacie or fortitude in the exaltation of a Planet then in his House but in all other Questions the contrary If you would be informed concerning any one being that is gone to any fight whether he shall return safe see the Lord of the Ascendent if he be good that is with good Planets and a good Planet in the first he will return safe but if the Sun be with the Lord of the first in any part of the Question let him not go because the Sun burneth him And if the Lord of the seventh be with a good Planet and the Lord of the first with a good Planet likewise he shall have some impediment in the way but he will not die And if an evil Planet be with the Lord of the first and a good Planet in the first if he goeth he shall suffer great damage but not death nevertheless he may be grievously wounded And if Saturn be in the first or with the Lord of the first let him not go because some impediment will happen unto him by some man that he will meet And if there be an evil Planet with the Lord of the first or Saturn be in the first or with the Lord of the first he will be wounded with wood or with a stone If Mars and the Dragons Tail be in the first or with the Lord of the first or if there evil Planets in the first or with the Lord of the first he will suffer wounds or death See likewise if there be an evil Planet in the eighth because then death is to be feared And if the Sun be with the Lord of the seventh or in the eighth it signifies that it is ill to go The like judgement is of the seventh and the tenth And if a Question be proposed concerning the event of War see the seventh and the first and their Lords for the first House and his Lord signifies the Querent and the seventh House and his Lord the adversary So that if there be good Planets in the first and evil in the seventh and if the Lord of the first and seventh be evil the Querent shall overcome but if there be an evil Planet with the Lord of the first and an evil Planet in the first and the Lord of the seventh good or * R * in the seventh the Querent shall be overcome or taken or slain And if the Lords of them both be in the first and there be good Planets from the part of the first House unto the end of the House which is the middle of the Question and if evil Planets do possess the other half of the Question that is to say from the seventh unto the end of the twelfth house the adversary shall overcome But if both the Lords shall be in the Ascendent and if they be good from the part of the first and evil from the part of the seventh they shall both suffer great loss but the Querent shall have the better in the end But if the Lord of the Ascendent be in the seventh or in his Question it signifies fortitude of the adversary and if the Lord of the seventh be in the first or in his Question it signifies fortitude of the actor And if the Lord of the Ascendent be in the eighth or with the Lord of the eighth or the Lord of the eighth in the first or with the Lord of the first it signifies the death of the Querent And if the Lord of the seventh be in the second or with his Lord or the Lord of the second in the seventh or with the Lord of the seventh it signifies the death of the enemy If you would know whether War shall continue long or not if mean or meanly if the Lords of the first and the seventh do agree the parties shall be pacified after the War If thou wouldst depart from the place wherein thou art and remove thy self to some other place and if thou wouldst know whether it be better for thee to stay or go or concerning two businesses if thou destrest to know which of them is most expedient for thee to undertake consider the Lords of the first and the second for those places to which thou wouldst go the place wherein thou art and the gain which thou gettest there and the seventh and the eighth and their Lords for the place to which thou wouldst go and the gain which thou mayst get there and those places chuse whose Lords are the better or joyned to the better Planets Or otherwise behold the Lord of the Ascendent and the Moon which if they be separated from evil Planets and joyned to good and fortunate Planets it is better for thee to go from the place where thou art then to stay there and to do what business soever thou hast in thy minde And if the Lord of the Ascendent and the Moon be separated from the Fortunes and joyned to evil Planets then it is not good for thee to remove thy self nor to do thy business Or thus See the Moon and if the Planet from which she is separated be better then that to whom she is joyned do not remove and if the Planet which she is joyned to be better then that from which she is separated then go Questions of the eighth House COncerning any man or woman if you would know what kinde of death they shall die see if Leo Scorpio † R. † Mars be in the eighth the party shall die by a beast And if Saturn be in the eighth or with the Lord of the eighth in Scorpio Cancer or Pisces he shall die in water And if an evil Planet be in the eighth or with the Lord of the eighth or if Mars or the Dragons Tayl be there he

Books of Occult Philosophy we have not so compendiously as copiously declared the principles grounds and reasons of Magick it self and after what manner the experiments thereof are to be chosen elected and compounded to produce many wonderful effects but because in those books they are treated of rather Theorically then Practically and some also are not handled compleatly and fully and others very figuratively and as it were Enigmatically and obscure Riddles as being those which we have obtained unto with great study diligence and very curious searching and exploration and are heretofore set forth in a more rude and unfashioned maner Therefore in this book which we have composed and made as it were a Complement and Key of our other books of Occult Philosophy and of all Magical Operations we will give unto thee the documents of holy and undefiled verity and Inexpugnable and Unresistable Magical Discipline and the most pleasant and delectable experiments of the sacred Deities So that as by the reading of our other books of Occult Philosophy thou mayest earnestly covet the knowledge of these things even so with reading this book thou shalt truly triumph Wherefore let silence hide these things within the secret closets of thy religious brest and conceal them with constant Taciturnity This therefore is to be known That the names of the intelligent presidents of
