phurous stinking substances, and burned in this material fire; so in the
name IEHovAH and by the power and dignity of these three names, TETRA-
GRAMMATON, ANAPHAXETON, and PrimEuMATON, I do cast thee, O thou
wicked and disobedient Spirit N., into the Lake of Fire which is prepared
for the damnéd and accurséd spirits, and there to remain unto the day of
doom, and never more to be remembered before the face of Gop, who shall
come to judge the quick, and the dead, and the world, by fire.

ABEOR COMING UPON ABERER!?

he or they be subjected by God to fulfil our desires and commands. And
when he or they shall have appeared and showed himself or themselves
humble and meek, then shalt thou rehearse :
THE WELCOME UNTO THE SPIRIT.
WELcomME Spirit N., O most noble king’ (or kings)! I say thou art
welcome unto me, because I have called thee through Him who hast

? Or whatever his dignity may be.
