Ir THou hast come thus far, and yet he appeareth not, thou mayest be
sure that he is sent unto some other place by his King, and cannot come;
and if it be so, invocate the King as here followeth, to send him. But if he
do not come still, then thou mayest be sure that he is bound in chains in
hell, and that he is not in the custody of his King. If so, and thou still hast
a desire to call him even from thence, thou must rehearse the general curse
which is called the Spirits’ Chain.
Here followeth, therefore, the Invocation of the King :?
THE INVOCATION OF THE KING.
O THoU great, powerful, and mighty King Amarmon, who bearest rule by
the power of the SupREME Gop Et over all spirits both superior and inferior
of the Infernal Orders in the Dominion of the East; I do invocate and
command thee by the especial and true name of Gop; and by that God
that Thou Worshippest; and by the Seal of thy creation; and by the
most mighty and powerful name of Gop, I—EHovAH TETRAGRAMMATON who
cast thee out of heaven with all other infernal spirits; and by all the most
powerful and great names of Gop who created Heaven, and Earth, and
Hell, and all things in them contained; and by their power and virtue; and
by the name PRimMEuMATON who commandeth the whole host of Heaven;
that thou mayest cause, enforce, and compel the Spirit N. to come unto me
here before this Circle in a fair and comely shape, without harm unto me or
unto any other creature, to answer truly and faithfully unto all my requests ;
so that I may accomplish my will and desire in knowing or obtaining any
matter or thing which by office thou knowest is proper for him to perform
or accomplish, through the power of Gop, Ex, Who created and doth
dispose of all things both celestial, aérial, terrestrial, and infernal.
AFTER thou shalt have invocated the King in this manner twice or
thrice over, then conjure the spirit thou wouldest call forth by the aforesaid
conjurations, rehearsing them several times together, and he will come
without doubt, if not at the first or second time of rehearsing. But if he do
* It will depend on the quarter to which the Spirit is attributed, which of the four chief
kings is to be invoked.
