And these pentacles do consist either of Characters of the good spirits of the superiour order or of sacred pictures of holy letters or revelations with apt and fit versicles which are composed either of Geometrical figures and holy names of God according to the course and maner of many of them or they are compounded of all of them or very many of them mixt And the Characters which are useful for us to constitute and make the pentacles they are the Characters of the good Spirits especially and chiefly of the good spirits of the first and second order and sometimes also of the third order And this kinde of Characters are especially to be named holy and then those Characters which we have above called holy What Character soever therefore of this kinde is to be instituted we must draw about him a double circle wherein we must write the name of his Angel and if we will adde some divine name congruent with his Spirit and Office it will be of the greater force and efficacy And if we will draw about him any angular figure according to the maner of his numbers that also shall be lawful to be done But the holy pictures which do make the pentacles are they which everywhere are delivered unto us in the Prophets and sacred Writings as well of the old as of the new Testament Even as the figure of the Serpent hanging on the cross and such-like whereof very many may be found out of the ●isions of the Prophets as of Esaias Daniel Esdras and others and also out of the revelation of the Apocalypse And we have spoken of them in our third book of Occult Philosophy where we have made mention of holy things Therefore when any picture is posited of any of these holy Images let the circle be drawn round about it on each side thereof wherein let there be written some divine name that is apt and conformed to the effect of that figure or else there may be written about it some versicle taken out of part of the body of holy Scripture which may desire to ascertain or deprecate the desired effect As if a pentacle were to be made to gain victory or revenge against ones enemies aswel visible as invisible The figure may be taken out of the second book of the Macchabees that is to say a hand holding a golden Sword drawn about which let there be written the versicle there contained To wit Take the holy Sword the gift of God wherewith thou shalt stay the adversaries of my people Israel Or also there may be written about it a versicle of the fifth Psalm In this is the strength of thy arm before thy face there is death or some other such-like versicle But if you will write any divine name about the figure then let some name be taken that signifies Fear a Sword Wrath the Revenge of God or some such-like name congruent and agreeing with the effect desired And if there shall be written any Angular figure let him be taken according to the reason and rule of the numbers as we have taught in our second book of Occult Philosophy where we have treated of the numbers and of the like operations And of this fort there are two pentacles of sublime vertue and great power very useful and necessary to be used in the consecration of experiments and Spirits one whereof is that in the first chapter of Apocalypse To wit a figure of the Majesty of God sitting upon a Throne having in his mouth a two-edged Sword as there it is written about which let there be written I am Alpha Omega the beginning and the end which is and which was and which is to come the Almighty I am the first and the last who am living and was dead and behold I live for ever and ever and I have the keys of death and hell Then there shall be written about it these three versicles Manda Deus virtuti tuae c. Give commandment O God to thy strength Confirm Oh God thy work in us Let them be as dust before the face of the winde And let the Angel of the Lord scatter them Let all their wayes be darkness and uncertain And let the Angel of the Lord persecute them Moreover let there be written about it the ten general names which are El Elohim Elohe Zebaoth Elion Escerchie Adonay Jah Tetragrammaton Saday There is another pentacle the figure whereof is like unto a Lambe slain having seven eyes and seven horns and under his feet a book sealed with seven seals as it is in the 5. chap. of the Apocalypse Whereabout let there be written this versicle Behold the Lion hath overcome of the Tribe of Judah the root of David I will open the book and unloose the seven seals thereof And one other versicle I saw Satan like lghtning fall down from heaven Behold I have given you power to tread upon Serpents and Scorpions and over all the power of your enemies and nothing shall be able to hurt you And let there be also written about it the ten general names as aforesaid But those Pentacles which are thus made of figures and names let them keep this order for when any figure is posited conformable to any number to produce any certain effect or vertue there must be written thereupon in all the several Angles some Divine name obtaining the force and efficacie of the thing desired yet so nevertheless that the name which is of this sort do consist of just so many letters as the Figure may constitute a number or of so many letters of a name as joyned together amongst themselves may make the number of a Figure or by any number which may be divided without any superfluity or diminution Now such a name being found whether it be onely one name or more or divers names it is to be written in all the several Angles in the Figure but in the middle of the Figure let the revolution of the name be whole and totally placed or at least principally Oftentimes also we constitute Pentacles by making the revolution of some kinde of name in a square Table and by drawing about it a single or double Circle and by writing therein some holy Versicle competent and befitting this name or from which that name is extracted And this is the way of making the Pentacles according to their several distinct forms and fashions which we may as we please either multiply or commix together by course among themselves to work the greater efficacie 〈◊〉 extension and enlargement of force and vertue As if a deprecation should be made for the overthrow and destruction of ones enemies then we are to minde and call to remembrance how God destroyed the whole face of the earth in the deluge of waters and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha by raining down fire and brimstone likewise how God overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red-Sea and to call to minde if any
