and Brimstone, unless you come forthwith and appeare heere before this
Circle to doe my will in all things. Therefore com [thou!] in and by these
holly names Adonay, Zebeoth [Zebaoth], Adonay, Amiorem; come yee, Adonay

If you come so farr, and he yet doth not appeare you may be sure he is sent
to some other place by his king, and cannot come and if it be so Invocate
the king as followeth to send him, But if he doth not come still, Then you
may be sure he is bound in chains in hell: and he is not in the Custody of
his king: So if you have a desier to call him ffrom thence, you must
rehearse the spirits Chaine &c.
______________________________________________________________________
For to Invocate the Kinge say as ffolloweth -
O you great mighty and Powerfull kinge Amaymon, who beareth rule by the
power of thy supreame god El over all spirits both superior and Inferiour
of the Infernal order in the Dominion of the Earth [East], I invocate and
command you by the especial and truest name of your god and by god that you
worship and obey, and by the seal of ye Creation, & by the most mighty &
powerfull name of god Jehovah Tetragrammaton, who cast you ought [out] of
heaven with all other of the Infernall spirits and by all ye most powerfull
and great names of god who created heaven, Earth & hell, and all things
contained in them, and by their power and vertue, & by ye name Primeumaton
who commandeth the whole host of heaven, that you cause, enforce & compell
N. to come unto me hear before this Circle in a fair & comely forme,
without doeing any harme to me or any other Creature, and to answere truely
& faithfull to all my Requests, That I may accomplish my will and desiers,
in knowing or obtaining any matter or thing wch by office you know is
proper for him to performe or to accomplish, threw [through] the power of
god El who createth and disposeth of all things both celestiall, ayerall
[aerial], Terrestiall [terrestrial] and Infernall.
______________________________________________________________________
After you have Invocated the king in this manner twise or thrice over, then
conjure ye spirit you would have calld forth by the aforsaid conjurations
rehearsing them severall times together, and he will come without doubt if
not at ye first or second time rehearsing. But if he doth not come, add the
spirits Chaine to the end of ye afforsaid Conjuration and he will be forced
to come even if he be Bound in chains: for the chaines will break of [off]
from him and he will be at liberty &c.
