The Consecrations and Benedictions: and first of the Benediction of the Circle.
WHen the Circle is ritely perfected, sprinkle the same with holy or purging water, and say, Thou shalt purge me with hysop, O Lord, and I shall be clean: thou shalt wash me, and I shall he whiter then snow.
The Benediction of Perfumes.
THe God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, bless here the creatures of these kindes, that they may fill up the power and vertue of their odours; so that neither the enemy, nor any false imagination, may be able to enter into them: through our Lord Jesus Christ, &c. Then let them be sprinkled with holy water.
The Exorcisme of fire upon which the perfumes are to be put.
THe fire which is to be used for fumigations, is to be in a new vessel of earth or iron; and let it be exorcised after this manner. I exorcise thee, O thou creature of fire, by him by whom all things are made, that forthwith thou cast away every phantasme from thee, that it shall not be able to do any hurt in any thing. Then say, Bless, O Lord, this creature of fire, and sanctifie it, that it may be blessed to set forth the praise of thy holy name, that no hurt may come to the Exorcisers or Spectators: through our Lord Jesus Christ, &c.
Of the Garment and Pentacle.
LEt it be a Priests Garment, if it can be: but if it cannot be had, let it be of linen, and clean. Then take this Pentacle made in the day and hour of Mercury, the Moon increasing, written in parchment made of a kids skin. But first let there be said over it the Mass of the holy Ghost, and let it be sprinkled with water of baptism.
An Oration to be said, when the Vesture is put on.
ANcor, Amacor, Amides, Theodonias, Anitor, by the merits of the Angels, O Lord, I will put on the Garment of Salvation, that this which I desire I may bring to effect: through thee the most holy Adonay, whose kingdome endureth for ever and ever. Amen.
