Cap. 3: ^^{Some remembrances} Of the necessary furniture ^^{and Circumstances necessary in} for the exercise Heptarchicall.

Euen as god is Just hast his Judgments true, his mercies unspe{akable} So are we the True Messengers of God and our words are true in his mercy for euer. Glory ô glory be to thé ô most high God.

The Characters of the kings are in the Globe: and {of the Princis,} in the Heptagonon.

1. These that lye here are witches, enchanters, Deceyvers, Blasphemers. And finally all they that use Nature with Abuse: and dishonor him which rayngneth for euer.
2. The Second Assembly wer the Governers of the Erth, whose Glory, if they be good, the weapons which we haue towght towght thé, will augment And consequently, (yf they be euyll,) will pervert.
3. The Third Assembly, are those which tast of Gods Mysteries, and dr{ink} of the Juyce of Nature: whos myndes are diuided: Some with eyes loking toward heven: The rest to the Center of the erth.

The sylk must be of diuers cullors: the most changeable that can be got{ten.} For who is hable to behold the glory of the seat of God.

The forme in euery corner, considereth thy Name. D you meane, there to be a certayn shaddow of Delta D -- Uriel - Well.

Uriel - They are the ensignes of the Creation: wherewithall they were created by God: known onely by theyr acquayntance, and the manner of theyr doings.

Uriel - They are to be paynted uppon swete wood, & so to be held in thy hand as thow shaltt haue cause to use them.

Leave oute the Bees of the seven names of the 7 kings, and 7 Princis. and place them in a Table diuided by 12 and 7. the 7 spaces, being uppermost: and therin write in the upper lyne, the let{ters} of the king, with th with the letters of his prince following, next after his name: and so of the Six other, and theyr princis. And read them on the right hand, from the upper part to the lowest. and thow shalt finde, then, the Composition of this Table. Therin they are all comprehended, sauing certayn letters, which are not to be put-in here: By reason that the Kings, and Princis do spring from God: and not God from the Kings and Princis: Which Excellency is comprehended and is allso manifest, in that Third and fowrth Number. {in marg: Number}

Rownd abowt the sides [of this square ^^Table] is euery letter of the 14 na{mes,} [170r] of the 7 kings and princis.

Hereafter shall you perceyue that the Glory of this Table {surmownteth} the Glory of the Sonne. All things els that appertayne unto it, {are} allready prescribed by your former Instruction.

• The One in respect of Dignification
• The Second in respect of Conciliation
• The Third in respect of an ende and determined Operati{on.}

Now, (Syr,) to what ende wold you wear your Character? &c.
D At our first dealings to gither it was answered by a Spirituall Creature, (whome we toke to be Uriel,) Sigillum hoc in auro sculpendum, ad defensionem Corporis omni loco, tempore et occasione, et in pectus gestandum.

Il - But how do I teach? The Character is an Instrument appliable Onely to dignification. But there is no Dignification (Syr) but that which doth procede, and hath his perfect composition Centrally, in the Square number of 3 and 4. The Center wherof shall be equall to the greatest. Hereby you may gather, Not onely to what ende, the Blessed Character (wherewith thow shalt be dignifyed) is prepared: but allso the Nature of all other Characters.

Il - The Table is an Instrument of Conciliation. And so are the other 7 Characters, which you call by the name of Tables: Squared out into the forme of Armes: which are proper to euery King and Prince according to theyr order.

IL - It consisteth onely consisteth in the mercy of God, and the Characters of these bokes. &c.

De Sigillo Æmeth; alr, vocato Sigillo Dei.

Oh holy be he: Oh holy be he: Oh holy be he.

Mich - Now, what wilt thow? D - I wold full fayne procede according to the matter in hand.

Mich - Diuide this owtward Circle into 40 equall partes: whose greatest numbers are 4. See thow do it presently - D - I did so diuiding it first into 4, and then every of them, into 10.

He called one by name Semiel.

One cam in and kneled down: and great fyre came out of his mowth.
Michael sayd: To him are the Mysteries of these Tables known.
Michael sayd, Semiel, (agayn) and by and by he^Michael sayd, O God thow hast sayd, and thow liuest for euer. &c. Do not think here to speak to him. Semiel stode up, and flaming fyre cam out of his mowth, and than he saide, as followeth.

Sem - Mighty lord, what woldst thow with the Tables?

Mich - It is the will of God Thow fatch them hither.

Sem - I am his Tables. Behold these are his tables: Lo where they are.

D - There cam-in 40 white Creatures, all in white silk long robes, and they like Children. And all they falling on theyr knees, sayd:

Thow onely art holy among the Highest, O God thy Name be blessed for euer.

D - Michael stroke ouer them with his sword: and they all fell down (& Uriel ap allso) on his knees. And commonly at the striking with the sword, flaming fyre, (like lightening) did flash with all.

Michael - Note. here is a Mysterie.

D - Then stept furth one of the 40 from the rest: & opened his breast, which was covered with sylk and there appeared a great all of gold.

Mich - Note the number. D over the T, stode the Number of 4, on this fashion

D - The 40, cryed all cryed: Yt liueth and Multiplyeth for euer: blessed be his name.

D - That creature did shut up his bosome, and vanished away like a fyre.

Michael - Place that in the first place. It is the Name of the Lord.

D - Then there semed a great clap of Thunder to be &c.

D - And so furth. the whole second boke is nothing els but the Mysteries most Mervaylous of Sigillum Dei, otherwise called Sigillum Æmeth. wherof here I did here but leave some ????y {HM reads: admonishement}, &c.

Note allso, the Third boke was chiefly of the 7 ensignes of Creation. &c. mentioned in this Chapter of in the ^^?????? of orations (?).

King CARMARA

At his first comming in, he had 7 ^^{like men} waighting on him: which afterwarde declared them selves to be 7 princis under the 7 Heptarchicall Kings.

Uriel deliuered to him, at his first appearing, (which he kept still in his hand) a rod, or straight little rownd staf of gold diuided into three distinctions: whereof two were dark, or blak, and the Third, bright red.

Prince HAGONEL

King Carmara, did first Call the Princis ^.7. before him: and they stode three on one side of him, and three on the other: But this Prince Hagonel, he toke, and set him in the myddle before him, as he sat in the Chayre, on the Convexity of the Transparent fyrie Globe. And after ward he called but five kings: for he him self, supplyed two places of Kings, governing on Monday, and fryday. Blumaza he dyd not ones speak of: I know, not yet, the Mystery therof.
