Visions and Apparitions.
QƲibus vite peractis, apparebunt infinitae visiones, & phantasmata pulsantia organa & omnis generis instrumenta musica, id que fit a spiritibus, ut terrore compulsi socii abeant a Circulo, quia nihil adversus magistrum possunt. Post haec videbis infinitos sagittarios cum infinita multitudine bestiarum horribilem: quae ita se componunt, ac si vellent devorare socios: & tamen nil timeant. Tunc Sacerdos sive Magister, adhibens manum pentaculo, dicat: Fugiat hinc iniquitas vestra, virtute vexilli Dei. Et tunc Spiritus obedire magistro coguntur, & socii nil amplius videbunt.
Then let the Exorcist say, stretching out his hand to the Pentacle, Ecce Pentaculum Salomonis, quod ante vestram adduxi praesentiam: ecce personam exorcizatoris in medio Exorcismi, qui est optime a Deo munitus, intrepidus, providus, qui viribus potens vos exorcizando invocavit & vocat. Venite ergo cum festinatione in virtute nominum istorum, Aye, Saraye, Aye, Saraye, Aye, Saraye, ne differatis venire, per nomina aeterna Dei vivi & veri Eloy, Archima, Rabur: & peri hoc praesens Pentaculum, quòd super vos potenter imperat: & per vinturem coelestium Spirituum dominorum vestrorum: & per personam exorcizatoris, conjurati, festinati venire & obedire praeceptori vestro, qui vocatur Octinomos. His peractis, sibiles in quatuor angulis mundi. Et videbis immediate magnos motus: & cum videris, dicas: Quid tardatis? quid moramini? quid facitis? praeparate vos & obedite praeceptori vestro, in nomine Domini Bathat, vel Vachat super Abrac ruens, superveniens, Abeor super Aberer.
Tunc immediate venient in sua forma propria. Et quando videbis cos juxta Circulum, ostende illis Pentaculum cooperatum syndone sacro, & discooperiatur, & dicat, Ecce conclusionem vestram, nolite fieri inobedientes. Et subito videbis eos in pacificae forma: & dicent tibi, Pete quid vis, quia nos sumus parati complere omnia mandata tua, quia dominus ad haec nos subjugavit. p. 85 Cum autem apparuerint Spiritus, tunc dicas, Bene veneritis Spituus, vel reges nobilissimi, quia vos vocavi per illum cui omne genu flectitur, coelestium, terrestrium & infernorum: cujus in manu omnia regna regum sunt, nec est qui suae contrarius esse possit Majestati. Quatenus constringuo vosi ut hic ante circulum visibiles, affabiles permanetis, tamdiu tam que constantes, nec sint licentia mea recedatis, donec meam sine fallacia aliqua & veredice perficiatis voluntatem, per potentiae illius virtutem, qui mare posuit terminum suum, quem praeterire non potest, & lege illius potentiae, non pertransit fines suos, Dei scilicet altissimi, regis, domini, qui cuncta creavit, Amen. Then command what you will, and it shall be done. Afterwards license them thus: † In nomine Patris, † Filii, & † Spiritus sancti, ite in pace ad loca vestra: & pax sit inter nos & vos, parati sitis venire vocati.
Visions and Apparitions.
THese things duly performed, there will appear infinite Visions and Phantasms, beating of Organs and all kinds of musical Instruments, which is done by the Spirits, that with the Terror they might force the Companions to go out of the Circle, because they can do nothing against the Master. After this you shall see an infinite Company of Archers, with a great multitude of horrible Beasts, which will so compose themselves, as if they would devour the fellows: nevertheless fear nothing.
Then the Priest or Master holding his hand toward the Pentacle, shall say, Avoid hence these iniquities by vertue of the Banner of God; and then will the Spirits be compelled to obey the Master, and the Company shall see no more.
Then let the Exorcist, stretching out his hand to the Pentacle, say, Behold the Pentacle of Solomon which I have brought before your presence. Behold the person of the Exorcist in the middle of the Exorcism, who is armed by God, and without fear, and well provided, who potently invocateth and calleth you by exorcizing; come therefore with speed, in the p. 86 virtue of these names, Aye, Seraye, Aye, Seraye; defer not to come by the eternal Names of the living and true God, Eloy, Archima, Rabur, and by the Pentacle here present, which powerfully reigns over you, and by virtue of the Celestial Spirits your Lords, and by the person of the Exorcist; being conjured, make haste to come and yield obedience to your Master, who is called Octinomos. This being performed, there will be hissings in the four parts of the world, and then immediately you shall see great motions; and when you see them, say, Why stay you? wherefore do you delay? what do you? prepare your selves and be obedient to your Master, in the name of the Lord Rathat or Vachat rushing upon Abrac, Abeor coming upon Aberer.
Then they will immediately come in their proper form; and when you see them before the Circle, shew them the Pentacle covered with fine linnen; uncover it and say, Behold your conclusion, if you refuse to be obedient; and suddenly they will appear in a peaceable form, and will say, Ask what you will, for we are prepared to fulfil all your commands, for the Lord hath subjected us hereunto: and when the Spirits have appeared, then you shall say, Welcome Spirits, or most noble Kings, because I have called you through him to whom every knee doth bow, both of things in Heaven and things in Earth, and things under the Earth, in whose hands are all the Kingdoms of Kings, neither is there any that can contradict his Majesty. Wherefore I bind you, that you remain affable and visible before this Circle, so long and so constant; neither shall ye depart without my licence, until you have truly and without any fallacy performed my will, by virtue of his power who hath set the Sea her bounds, beyond which these cannot pass, nor go beyond the Law of his Power, to wit, of the most high God, Lord and King, who hath created all things, Amen. † In the Name of the Father, † and of the Son, † and of the holy Ghost, go in peace unto your places; peace be between us and you, be ye ready to come when ye are called.
These are the things which Peter de Abano hath spoken concerning Magical Elements.
But that you may the better know the manner of composing a Circle, I will set down one Scheme; so that if any one would make a Circle in Spring time for the first hour of the Lords day, it must be in the same manner as is the figure following.
The figure of a Circle for the first hour of the Lords day, in Spring-time.

It remaineth now, That we explain the Week, the several dayes thereof; and first of the Lords day.
