& beginneth the third book of Thymiamatibus

Dixit angelus Adae fac Thymiamata &c

The Angell said to Adam make thymiamata
Thymiamata be confections of good odors wth wch thou
shalt suffume (and thou shalt please to Creacion)
and thou shalt attayne what thou wylt by this
And they of wch they be made be peticion things
wch thou shalt fynde and of good odor and of good
nature, and of cleane things. And when thou
wilt do it be thou cleane of wthout all fylthe
and then the angell rested in that hower And Adam
remayned and did what he might And this Salomon
expounded and said I marvaile why this is the booke
[27v]
of Moyses also ffor the Creator said to Moyses
make thou Thymiamata and suffume thou in the
hill when thou wilt speake wth me wherfore Salomon
said suffumigacions sacrifice & unction maketh
to be opened the gates of the aire and of the fyre
and of all other heavens. And by suffumigacions a
man may see heavenly things and privatyes of the
Creator And each man knowe that they thirleth
The earth water and lownesse And Salomon said
As there be 7 heavens, 7 starres & 7 dayes in
the weeke of wch everiche is distinct and is not likened
to his even. So knowe each man that there be 7
suffumigacions wch wthholdeth wth them the vertue
of the 7 starres, and maketh glad the spirits of the
ayre and the angels of heaven and Divels of angels
of the worlde. And therfore for a man yeeldeth to
them hit, that is theirs. Therfore they be pleased
and well apaid for the words wch thou sayest of
sayest the names of them or of the Creator. And for
this that thou doest when thou washest thee and
for the gift that thou givest to them when thou
suffumest, and these things yeeldeth them earthly
and appearing to thee. And that spirituall & invisible
that is, that neither evill men neither beasts
mongst see thee if thou doest it strongly about thee
and about whome thou doest it.
Thymiamata is made of many things, and these be
Principally upon the vii dayes of the weeke And first
say we of thymiamata of the Saturday for the starre
of him is higher & the angell of him is mighty in ye earth
[28r]
1 The first Thymiamata is17 of the Saturday ought
to be of good things and well smelling rootes as is
costus and herba thuris. And that is thymiamata
for good, and so I shall shewe all other as it beseemeth
to good and Thymiamata to another I
shall say in another place
2 Thymiamata of the Sonday is thus Mastick muscus
and other such and all other good gumes and
of good odor in all good and by the Contrary in
all evill
3 Thymiamata of the Monday is folius myrti and
lauri and leaves of good odor and so understand
thou in his contrary.
4 Thymiamata of the Tuesday is Sandalus rubeus
niger and albus and all such trees and eche tree
of Aloes & cypresse and so understand thou of each
tree.
5 Thymiamata of Wednesday is made of all rindes
as cinamon cassia lignea & cortices lanri & muris
and so understand thou in the other
6 Thymiamata of Thursday is nux muscata gari=
ophylli and citruli and the rinde of Aurangiar~
siccar~ & pulverizatar~ that is the rynde of Oranges
dry and powdered & all other fruits of good odor
7 Thymiamata of the Friday is moas rosa viola
& crocus and all other flowers of good odor and in
the contrary to the contrary put yow all Thymiamata stinking
And knowe thou that each Thymiamata of good odor
Gathereth togither his spirits after that his nature
& his color he18 & his strength is Thus I sayd for good
good, for better better.
17 The word "is" is crossed out.
18 The word "he" is crossed out.
[28v]

And Hermes said of Thymiatibus that

Thymiamata of Luna is cinamonis & ligno
aloes et mastix et crocus et costus, et macis
et myrtus we putteth this that each of the planets
have a parte in it, and all this may be Luna
good and well fortunate by good spices & sharpe
and planette of the spices wth the wch a man ought
to make thymiamata And he said that of Saturne
is each good roote in good and evill in evill
And of Jovis all fruite, and of martis eche tree
And of solis eche gume and of veneris eche
flower, and of mercury each rinde, and of Luna
eache leafe, and thus understand thou of all other
and eche odoriferous herbe is of veneris. And
Raziel said to Adam that he should make good
Thymiamata. And therfore said Hermes, understand
That eache Thymiamata is made of all good things
as of roote tree rinde leafe flower fruite & gumes
and yet seeds be put in it as Baccae & Cardamomu~
and waxe, and put thou in it all good thing and
precious, and sithen he said Thymiamata completu~
And there is some Thymiamata gracu~ or of greeke
by wch heather men were wont to suffume Idols
wth. And yet to this day Churches and Altars be
suffumed wth it, and it is said Thymaimata Jovis.
And in soothenes who that useth this Thymiamatibus
must be cleane and chaste and of all good lyfe and
will to the Creator and he shall profitt.
[29r]
Dixit Salomon super suffumigata Hermetis q19 dur &c
Salomon said upon the suffumigacions of Hermes wch
be said beneath and they be seven maners wth wch be
1 made sacrifices some be (and the first) wch fastesth and
giveth tei things to the Creator, and therfore they
trust that they attayne to that that they desire And
it is soothe
2 The second is that they washen & clenseth them
selves and dwelleth cleane and therfore they trow
to attayne their petition & axing & it is soothe
3 The iiid is that they do almes of God and for the
holy angels of him
4 The iiiith is that they sleyeth and casteth the bloud
in the fyer.
5 The fifth is that they sleyeth and burneth all
6 The sixt is that they prayeth much in howers ordeyned
7 tymes in the day, and 3 in the night
7 The viith is to make suffumigacion wth good things
and well smelling and everiche of these did this
that he might attayne the sothenes of it that he asked
and so he attayned hit by the Commandement of the
Creator.
And know thou that suffumigacion overcometh in all
Sothely who that suffumeth best to the eye it proveth
and wth this the wisemen excuseth all other. And wit
thou that who can well knowe the natures of suffumigacions
he might easily nigh thilk spirits wch
he would enclepe according to the nature of suffumigacion
And evermore consider thou the nature of
the spirit and of the suffumigacion, and the spirits be
constrained by the contrary and be comforted by
19 The q has ae written above it.
[29v]
like things And it is to wytt that as a wise leache
in giving a medecine to a sicke man removeth
the sickenes and inleadeth health. So suffumigacion
if it be good remeveth the contrary from the place
And wth evill suffumigacion be remeved good spirits,
evill and ill spirits also dreadeth for eache
thing more loveth health then sickenesse. And therfore
it is said that Sulphur remeveth both good
spirits and evill, and this is approbation or profitt
way And there is another way for lignu~ aloes
and none other, and Sulphur chaseth them
away and this is very reason And then I say
that Sulphur gathereth togither his proper spirits
and none other And they be full strong & penetra
tive and thicke and be not severed or departed so
soone from a place But although a place were
suffumed wth Sulphur, and then were washen
wth water and suffumed wth lignu~ aloes yet it
draweth away the spirits of Sulphur or endureth
or leadeth in his owne. And knowe thou also that
the spirit of Azet that is quicksilver and the
spirit of Thuris be contrary Although spirits
both yet therwth all devills entereth and thirleth
rather or sooner then the spirit of Thuris, wherfore
everich hath full great might, yet and if
thou wilte wthdrawe the spirits suffume thou wth
thure and they shall go out And so understand thou
of all other spirits good and evill.
And Salomon said that as a physicion putteth
a man pure good oyntmente and cleane and
[30r]
they thirleth the body of a man and healeth so suffumigacions
thirleth the 4 elemts and maketh to see and knowe
heavenly things wch were evermore heavenly and wch
descendeth from heavens as be angells & spirits of the
ayre and the soules of dead men and divels and windes
of spelunke and of deepenes and fantasies of desert place
And wherfore knowe thou that all spiritualls wth right
fumigacon shall obey to thee, and shall come to thee
and they shall do thy co~mandement And Hermes said
that all things that was or is present or shall be that the
overnature Joyned wth the neather by ordinance or tyme
and hower maketh one body and understanding that he
can understand and knowe thilke things whereof creatures
have to live and themselves to governe. Therfore
know thou that there be fumes that Chaseth away
spirits and other some that steyeth them and constreyneth
them to come, and other that quickeneth them
and strengthneth them, and giveth them might, and so
by the contrary there be some that destroyeth them
and taketh away their might, and this is the probacion
of this for the fume of an hare chaseth them away
and this he said upon serpents and that chaseth them
away wch is fumus amnecae that is the fume of feces
of oyle and that steyeth them is the spittle of a
fasting man. And therfore he said suffumigacion
sufficeth to us in all things beneath. And Raziel
said knowe thou that as water washeth all uncleanesse
and fire maketh liquid or melteth all mettalls & maketh
cleane and fyneth. And as the aire is the lyfe of a man
[30v]
living, and the earth sustaineth or beareth eche body
and nourisheth each plant, to understand thou that
good thymiamata – i – suffumigacions is fulfilling in
the worke to the Invocations of spirits and of other
things and well proporcioned wth the wch Thymiamata
is confect or medled, and were in eache hower convenient
of according.
Dixit Salomon propter hoc pono horas et tempus &c

Salomon sayeth ffor this I put the hower and the

tyme in this worke for in all howers in wch a man
will speake to a kinge or to a prince he may not speake
to them neither in eache hower wch a sonne asketh
of the father any thing he giveth to him. Therfore
it is darke to thee to choose the tyme and the hower
upon these that thou askest. This is therfore tempus
quoddam that is some tyme of Jovis be it done in the
day of Jovis and of Veneris in the day of Veneris
and Martis. And of Saturne in the day of Saturne.
And so of other that be done in Invocations of spirits
and in all praysings of Angells. And the fumigacion
of wch is pure and cleane. Knowe thou that it is a
spirituall thing and living and fellowshipping to heavenly
things. And now said Veallia Knowe thou
that no man ought to make suffumigacion of precious
things but if it were before cleane, and wth cleane
waters well washen and annoynted wth precious oyntments
wch he made cleanly and wth precious things
as cera alba, balsamo croco and musco abitatmeca
algalia, almea Thure myrrha. Oleo olivary. And this
oyntment be it well kept and well warded in a cleane
[31r]
place of him after that also the clothings be cleane
white newe and good, not broken neither blacke. And
the suffume he himself worshipfully, and the
maner of suffuming himself ought to be made in
vii maners towards the East the North the West
and the south, and towards the heaven above, and
towards the earth beneath, and the viith tyme all
about. And as offe as thou doest this evermore
dresse thy mynde unto God evermore, and pray that
he fulfill thy will. And knowe thou that I founde in
some olde booke that these were the more suffumigacions.
Thus thymiamata gracu~ masticke, sandulus
galbanus Muschalazerat myrrha and Ambra and these
be collectors of spirits and placators of them. And
Salomon said when thou wilt gather togither the
spirits of the ayre do thou in this maner. Clense
thou thy self in the better maner that thou canst
and go to a pitt where thou wilt knowen to thee
and suffume it and encleape him by his owne
proper name and lathe him or pray him and that
by three nights, and if he answereth not to thee
neither appeareth send thou him to a certaine place
or to an house or to a quadrive that is a place where
4 wayes meeteth or to a yard or gardeine And suffume
thou the pitt towards the vii parts and in the place
where thou bathest also, as I have said And then
knowe thou that he shall come, and he shall appeere
to thee that thou shalt do this.
Ex dixit Hermes quod spirit qui apparent &c
And Hermes said that the spirits wch appeareth
[31v]
in this worlde be these. Some sothely be heavenly
and the prophet clepeth them Angels, and
they be bright and cleere as flame or a starre
as we have said. Other be aire and of the aire
and of many colors greene bright and other such
& of many figures. And other be fiery and they be
bright and red. And other be watery and they be
white and as bright as tinne or Iron burnished
or quickesilver Other be that neigheth to men &
be like to a white cloude or to a white clothe
And other be darke and dime and of divers formes
wch be said Divels wch be said wth the wynde, and
they be in the deepenesse of the sea and of lownesse
Spirits that bring wth hailes & lightnings
And wisemen clepeth these huge spirits & strong
Now we have said of the nature of spirits and
putt to thy mynde and thou shalt attayne wth the
helpe of God.
Dixit Raziel sicut in aere puro claro &c
Raziell said as in the pure cleere and bright &
cleane and peciable aire all things gladdeth
a wyeth of it. So knowe thou that from fasting
and cleannes and washing of water & prayers
luck and orison of the Creator. And for naturall and
cleane suffumigacion and very faith or trust thou
might please them wch we have said above. And
Raziel said to Adam knowe thou that in all maner
te life of Angells be holy & cleane And the
suffuming or suffumigacion is bread of wch spirits
[32r]
liveth And fasting and Cleannesse and Clarity sacrifice
wth orison be the house of holy altar soules
and trust in the author of good. Wherfore each man
that hath these abovesaid in himself he shall attaine
or neigh and he shall have profitt.
And Salomon said these be that befalleth in suffumigacions,
anon shall come to us fume and then odor
and of the fume a cloude ^20 of the cloud an high cloude
and wynde, and of the wynde ascendeth the cloude higher
and of the Cloude an high winde ascendeth higher and
is made a soule And of this the spirit is made higher
and of the spirit and angell of heaven, and of angells
light. And these be caused by cleane suffumigacion. And
know thou that suffumigacions be of vii maners. Some
sothely sharpe, and other penetrative or percing. Other
sweete smelling other stinking, other simple, other meke
other of greefe other sothely of peace, or everich of these
or of these manners is after his odor savor nature and
complexion. Wherfore Hermes said that as coldenes
congealeth water wch is colde, and as water of the
sea is congealed wth great, and as Azertacona congealeth
the water of wells, and everiche of these congealeth
the water one wth coldenes another wth hotnes
another by arte another by nature, and the matter is
made one body and one gobbet. And knowe thou that
good suffumigacion gathereth togither and constrayneth
and maketh spirits to appeare in the aire, and secret
or privy things And it maketh them to take a body wth
out eyne seeth.
And Salomon said that as the Adamant draweth
20 Above ^ appears &.
[32v]
Iron to himself, so knowe thou that suffumigacion
gathereth together and draweth the spirits of the
ayre, and maketh them to come to the place where
thou doest it and will gather them togither. And the
wiseman said suffumigacion is like to the roote of
Arzolle ffor as it Joyneth togither gobbette of flesh
into one. So suffumigacions gathereth togither
spirits of heaven or heavenly wch the 4 elements
and they make that they taketh a body, and spirits taketh
fulfilleth that be axed of them and that to
likenes of a mirror to wch if there be sett before what
figure thou wylte a like appeareth wthin the fumigacion
made Cleanly and invocation in the hower
after the spirits proporcionall. The spirits appeareth
to us, and new operations and worchings wth
fulfilling upon the thing that thou asketh, and be
thou never deceived in the knowledge of suffumigacions,
and putt thou thy mynde in them lest
they be transposed, and thou shalt fulfill as that
were and after that thou doest as he said.
And Salomon said I will touché somewhat to thee
of the nature of suffumigacions, who that useth it
much it maketh to see in sleepe or in sothenes grene
things and yellowe and divers colors melancholious
fumigacion sheweth leady things Sanguine fumigacion
sheweth red things, and otherwise it is shewing
of purpure color fflegmaticke fumigacion sheweth
white things and fayre. And so understand thou after
that the nature were and the appearing of spirits
[33r]
and of their color and visions and the worke of them
shall be after the sharpenes of it and the goodnes and
the direction of fumigii that is fulfilling of the thing
after that the Image were formed and the Orison of
the thing nempned and the trust for all is in the
intention of the man and in the hower in wch it is done.
Now we have said how every of the planetts hath his

savor
And this Salomon holdeth for the naturall
for such spice we give & wth them we suffume
And wch give to the dayes and to the howers. And the
sunday the first hower is of Solis, and all of the day
altogether we should give this masticke & muscum
as we have said of planets in the beginning if this
booke of Thymiamatu, and to understand thou of all
other knowe thou the suffumigacions of tymes
In primo tempore lignu~ aloes thus et crocu~ &c
In the first tyme lignu~ aloes, thus & crocu~ In
the second tyme Thymiama. Costum mastice. In the
third tyme Sandalus Cassia and mirtu~. In the fourth
tyme muscu~ succu~ and lignu~ balsami. And as he

so he giveth to eche moneth one spice by order.
Dicamus nunc suffumigia 4 partiu~ mundi &c
Say we now suffumigacions of the 4 partes of the
worlde and of the 4 elements. For all things
that be in this worlde either be compounded of
4 elements or symples Suffumigacions of the 4

Algalia, almea and teriaca. Upon the party of the west &
the ayre Balsamus, Camphora & olen olivraru~. Upon the
North & the water Lignu~ aloes, mix muscata & Maris.
And Salomon said each man that would do any thing
by this booke putt he his mynde to the chapter of thymiamatu~.
That he knowe the kindes or things & justly
Can meddle them. And so knowe thou that thou might
easily worke by it and wthout travayle thou might fulfilall
thing that thou desyrest to see. Now we have fulfilled
one Chapiter of fumigiis or fumigacions, and we
will say furthermore yet upon wch was or intencion wth
the help of God.
Heere beginneth the fourth booke that
speaketh upon tymes of ye yeare
In Dei noie py incipio scribere libris istu &c
In the name of the meeke God I beginne to write
this booke that is said or called Cephar Raziel wch
the Angell Raziel gave to Adam. And it shall speake
upon the 4 tymes of the yeere & moneths & dayes wth
his night how we should nempe each thing and knowe
each man. That this is said the booke of tymes, and the
Angell gave it that is said might and great b21 by the
manndement of the Creator quicke God & in all things
mighty. And for that Adam should knowe all things
by wch he would knowe in this worlde what it is
what it was and what it should be in all things in the
12 moneths of the yeere and dayes & howers and that
by order and similitude of Cleane fastings and of washings
of sacrifice of suffumigacions made by 7 dayes or the
______________________________________________________
21 This "b" is smudged out.
[34v]
first mone were, and ere the sonne should assende
his taile the ascendent, and ere the sonne should
ascend upon his starre Zedek Jovis and they should
be nempned in this booke by monthe of holy angells
that have might upon the 7 heavens formed of fyer
and the beholding of them is of fyer and the life of
him is fyer. And they seemed clothed wth fyer And they
be covered wth fyer. And from the fyer the went out
and in the fyer they dwelleth and they be of great fellowships
mighty upon the xii moneths of the yeere by the
precept of the Creator of it wch said the world be it and
all angels be, and were before it, and there be vii
powers before the face of it, and to eache of them is
given might and hath a day of the moneth and of the
weeke. And of them some be standing in environ and
some be sitting in chaires wth great honor serving
to the Creator, and they be evermore ready and
bound to go out and to enter, to come and to go and
to do all good and evill whatsoever is made and to
enchant and to put downe and to cover prily things
and to discover or make revelacion. And all this that
we have said by the manndmt of God, and all the
more angells and lesse, and the princes of them
wth their powers wth their odors or wth their fellowships
they clipeth themselves everiche wth their names
and wch be selly . i . heigh or sovereigne evermore
they praise God the Creator wch formed them. And also
all the powers of all heavens in the moneth and
in the day in wch he formed them and they all
speaking to himself togither as men. And Raziel said
that these angells wrote these names and this booke.
[35r]
And he said that there be 7 angells mighty
upon vii starres and these bene potestates or
powers mighty upon vvi dayes of the weeke And they
be keepers of them and of the xxiiii howers of the day
and of the vii heavens and of the xii signes and of all
other things that governeth the worlde. And Raziel
said to Adam beholde knowe and wthhold these vii
powers or potestates wch have power in the vii heavens
and the vii starres. The names of wch be these Sabaday
that is Saturnus. Zedek that is Jupiter. Madin that
is Mars. Hanina that is Sol. Noga that is Venus
Cocab . i . Mercurius. Labana . i . Luna. The names of
the vii heavens in wch they be borne be these Samin
raquia Siagum Mahum. Macon. Zebul. Arabeck
upon Samyn goeth Luna. Upon Raquia goeth Mercurius
and upon Arabeck Saturnus and so understand
thou of other
The names of Angells that have power upon the
vii starres and goeth upon the vii heavens and other
while in their chaires be these Capziel. Satquel
Samael. Raphael. Amael. Michael. Gabriel.
And the power of these is that Capziel is the power
of Sabaday. Satquel of Zedek. And Mamael of Madyn
and Raphael of Hanina. Amael of Noga. Michael
of Cocab. Gabriel of Lubona. And everiche of these
sytteth in his heaven. And the meynees of them all about
and there be divers colors as white blacke red
yellow greene leady pardi viati medled overgilt and
of the color of a pecocke fether and of many other colors
These be the Angels that have power upon the 12
moneths of the yeere. The names of the moneths
[35v]
be these Nisan yar zinantamus abelul Tisirin
Marquesuam quislep tobez or thebeth Sabat adar
petadar postm9 The names of potestates be these
And they be 12 capitalls, that is one upon everiche
moneth of Luna and the rather that is the other is
Oriel Sasuyel Amariel. Noriel. Biraquel magnia
saciel. And everiche of these hath so many potestates
helpers more or greater as there be sayes in the
moneth or many other servants of them. And the aforesaid
Angells a man may knowe all things that is
to come in everiche yeere, and in everiche tyme and
in everiche moneth and everiche day and everiche
hower wth the proper signes of them who that knoweth
them well if he will knowe of many reynes or fewe
or when they shallbe or if they shall be or no. and
the day and hower when they shall fall. And a man
may knowe by them wch is his signe and his starre
and he may knowe of his lyfe if it shall be of long
tyme or of shorte in the worlde sand other things
either for a sicke man or an whole, either for a man
either from a woman. Or he may knowe a subtill understanding
or sharpe he may knowe what is to
come and do wth it what he will. And the dayes of
the yeere or of Solis alone (in wch may be done the
worching of this booke) 365 and the 4th parte of one
day in the week of dayes. the yeere of Luna be otherwise
360 dayes or four howers and 46 minutes
after the yeere of Luna. And the fulfilling of tyme
in this. In one tyme be 3 monethes, and when the tymes
[36r]
befower sothely till to 12. And knowe thou that Nisan
that is the first moneth entereth in the first day of the
first mone whereat were Luna prima of the moneth
of Martii and so of other. and the first very tyme is
from the first poynt into the wch the sonne entereth into
Arietem, till it enter the first poynt of Cancer. And
The 2 from Cancer in Libran, And the third from
Libra to Capricornu~. And the 4th from Capricorno
into Arientes. And this is the better distinction of tymes
And in the hower wch Raziel gave the booke to Adam
of tymes of moneths and names of things then was Adam
comforted onely wherin thilk day fillen lightnings meved
and thunders and Coruscations appeariden, and there
was in that day great tempest in all the worlde both in the
lande and in the ayre, and in the sea. And in the hower
in wch the Angell Raziel opened this booke and gave it
to Adam. Then he gave to him might and strength & surety
in all the words of this booke and myracles that be in it.
And when this booke fell before the face of Adam, then
Adam dread full muche and quoke of great dread And
fell downe unto the earth as though he had bene dead
Then the Angell Raziel said to Adam Rise and
be thou comforted for knowe thou that a very soothfast
spirit hath descended in thee from the hight heavens
wch hath lightned thee and hath putt in this hower
in thee knwing and might, and that thou sahlt attaine
that that thou shalt aske. And I say to thee that thou
consider in this booke and beholde in it and by it thou
shalt knowe and understand whatere was and that is
[36v]
and that shall be after thee And in that hower in
wch this booke was given to Adam fier fell upon the
brinke of the floud of paradice And the Angell
ascended by the flame of the fier to the heavens And
an Angell descended in similitude of a white cloude
and spake wth him plainely and came to him as a
man well bright and cleere like to the cleerenes
of a starre in his body and full of many other all about
And in ascending when he was severed evermore
Adam was like to a lambe wch formed well bright
as the flame of fyre and cleere then the fyre of a
fornace in wch golde is purged And then Adam sawe
this and found and knewe that of the Lord of all
worlds wch is a great king and mighty things.
This booke was sent for him. And then he considered
and looked in it wth holynes and Cleannesse. And
then he beheld in it all things that he would know
in this worlde. And this was the first word that
Adam had wth the Angell Raziell And therfore he
considered in it and governed himself by it.
Salomon said upon the foresaid reason above
after that the Angell Raziell said unto Adam that
it behoveth to knowe the tymes and one hower before
another and one tyme before another ffor who that
soweth wheat in Ver it may mot be gathered on
the same Ver. And this is after the temperament
of the party of the northe. And therfore it is necessary
or needful to divide the yeere into 4 parts and a
moneth into 4 partes and an hower into fowre partes
[37r]
And if thou keepest these divisions and understandest
thou shalt profitt in all that thou wilt, for this is sothe
and all naturall things is made in the tyme and in the
day and in the hower according as the higher or sovereigne
Creator hath ordeyned. Raziel said of thou
wilt knowe any thing of this worlde that is of other
that be in the heaven or heavens wch be fellowshipped
wth the first heavens. Or if thou wilt do any thing yt
be fulfilled to thy will clense thou thy body by 7 daies
that is washe thee and eat thou not a thing of chesce
neither of raven, neither of evill party neither a thing
uncleane neither that is fallen to death, neither a beast
of 4 feete neither other. And eschewe thou thee from
malice and falsenes, and thou shalt not drinke wyne
neither shalt thou eat fishes or any thing wch bloud
goeth out. And ioyne thou thee not to a woman pollute
neither menstruate neither enter thou into an house
where is a dead man neither go thou beside the pitt
of a dead man. neither by him that suffereth gonorrhea
and eschewe thou and be thou ware of night lest thou
fall into pollution and keepe thee from lechery and
evill pride. And do thou that thou be evermore cleane
and be thou in Orison or prayer, and keepe thy tong
from saying evill and leasing and fast thou clenely
And keepe thou thy body from doing evill and sinne
And lighten thou the house wth orison and prayse the
angells and do thou almes to needy men and charity
and be not thou ioyned to evill men neither to uncleane
and clothe thou thee wth cleane clothes the larger that
thou mightest and evermore trust thou unto God and
[37v]
rise thou early and pray to the Creator that he
dresse thee and washe thee and fulfill thy peticion
and thou shalt attayne to that thou askest wth God

third rotton and in the fourth Congealed And so other
things of the worlde ewiche by himself. The example
whie Raziel put his name to eache thing. In
everiche thing be the 4 lords that have might in eche
thing and everiche in his tyme. And it is said that
there be 4 elements whereof one is fyer that hath
might in the first tyme and so other. Wherefore
knowe thou that everiche thing changeth his name
[45v]
As first we say a man a childe and then a yongling
and then a middle man in the fourth tyme
an old man. And so things changeth their names
who will cleape them a leader and this is in a man
And so understand thou of Mettaile and in all things
that waxeth and liveth. And Salomon said and
all other that it was more inst that eache thing
should have 7 names then 4 for that all they
might descend of 4 bodyes, and to them is given
all the might Sothely they put 4 names to
everiche thing that it were more easy to worche
these 4 names be assigned upon the city of David
my fathers and myne wch had many names. Sothly
the wiseman Isaac the wiseman said that the
first name was Remusale, and then Jebusale
Jeroboam Jerusalem. And these names this
City received for 4 Lords that were in yt And
everiche putt to his proper name And for this
like things of this worlde receiveth 4 names
in themselves or 7 or more after that God hath
ordeyned. And therfore no man marvaile of these
names of things in 4 tymes. In the higher heaven
that is the first from the ou/26 party and it is the 7
from the neather in it serveth Sabaday and his
angell Capciel. In the first tyme Sabaday is
said Cuerues. In the second Palicos. In the third
Quirtipos in the fourth Panpotes. In the sixth serveth
Zedek and his angel is Satquiel and the
name Jovis In the first tyme it is amonor. In
26 This is probably "outer."
[46r]
second Sahibor. In the third Sayin. In the fourth
Eanynyel. In the 5 heaven serveth Madin and for
his angell Balquiel. And the name of Martis in the
first tyme is said Aaryn. In the second Daron. In the
third Bearon. In the fourth Pantefos. In the fourth
heaven serveth Hamina and his angell Dandaniel
In the first tyme the name of Solis is said halyom
in the second Adocham in the third Cantopos. In the
fourth Pantasus. In the third heaven serveth Noga
and his angell Adzdiel. In the first tyme the name
of Veneris is said Aporodicy In the second Calizo
in the third niniptz. In the fourth Pontos. In the
second heave serveth Cocab and his angell Satquiel
In the first tyme Mercurius is said Armis In the
second Angocus. In the third Tholos. In the fourth
Ancholos. In the first heaven serveth Labana and
his angell Anael. In the first Luna is said Salmi
in the second Sarico. In the third Naspilij. In the
fourth Afriqnym. And knowe thou that thou shalt
nempne the names in their fowre tymes and thou shalt
profitt when thou shalt knowe any thing of them.
Heere beginneth the fifth booke
that treateth of Cleannesse
Dixit Salomon revelatu~ fuit nitri de isto
libro &c Salomon said It was shewed to me of
this booke of Raziell and many angells after that
I had the booke and of these wch nourished powers
[46v]
and vertues and matter and stength of the
potestates above, and that by the manndement and
obedience of the Creator or maker of the worlde
And they said thus Salomon thou hast asked witt
and wisdome and fairenes and might in will compleate
and named full great for evermore upon earthes.
And knowe that all kings and lesse men shall
come after thee and wch should heere speake of
thee should love thee and worshippe thee and should
set price of thee and should prayse thee and
keepe thou this booke, and worche thou wth it wth
reverence and cleannesse. And Salomon said
to the benigne angell Natanael wch hath might
in thaire and this evermore was27 was fellowshipped
to Salomon wch be thilke 7 bodyes wch we seene
above bright fayre cleane and cleere wh ceaseth
never to go neither the wayes of them be void
and they fayleth never but evermore dureth going
their wayes. And it that farryeth more in going
his way fulfilleth it in 30 yeeres. And then they
appeareth such as they were before and wch went
before thus they sawe. And thus it us said that
they should be how long God would. And thus
I say of an hundreth yeeres and a 1000 that they
never be changed neither in meving but we have
found them as the Prophets and other olde men
founden. And the angell Natanael said to Salomon.
The 7 bright bodyes wch thou seest above
27 This word "was" is crossed out.
[47r]
above be put beneath And they in going upwards
holdeth in balance or in rule the 4 elemts beneath
And therfore the meving of them ceaseth not for such
might the Creator gave to them. And knoweth thou
that the matter of them is simple and pure wthout corruption
and evermore durable. And the state of them
is likenes to the Lord that formed although they obey
to him in all things. And Natanael said furthermore
to Salomon knowe thou that in the heavens of
the 7 bright bodyes be angels wthout number mighty
in all thing, and everiche of them hath his proper
mighte and his strength and vertue. And they be
unlike among themselves as men togither or other
beasts And everiche serveth of his office to the creator
that formed them or made them. And Salomon
said to Nathaniel wch is the lyfe or the might or the
service that these angells doth. And Nathaniel said
the lyfe of them is of cleannesse of Orison and of
trustines and the might of them is of suffumigii
holocausti et sacrificii. And the service of the is when
the Creator woll they go from place to place when
any cleane man hath prayed to the Creator as it
beseemeth And then they do good or evill as the creator
will for in them is power science & will complete
And Salomon said wch be these 7 bright bodies
and how be they named and of what thing serveth
everiche And Nathaniel said that same that Raziel
said to Adam, the higher of these that goeth slower
is said Sabaday and all the realmes of his heaven be
[47v]
full of Ice snowe and haile and wrothe rancor
and Coldenes And all the angells that bene there
bene clothed wth darkenes full darke. And the greatnes
of them be full high and full long and small
and upon the earthes and upon divels and upon darknesse
and coldeness and drinesse. And this hath
power upon wyndes of this nature And they have
power of doing good and evill And the angell of it
is Beel crowned upon all other. In the second heaven
for luke standeth Zedek and all the realmes of him.
Dixit Salomon rex filius regis David &c
Salomon the king said the sonne of David that
was king of Jerusalem of Jury and Damaske
of Egypt Lord of Babilony prince of science
covetouse of cleannesse ensearcher of privityes
keeper of good true men, avoider of leasing of
poore men, of vertues desire upon lre vertues and
speedfulnes of words busily thinking and most
subtilly in mynde insearching. I have enquired and
knowe that in wordes of power vertue and effecte
and of all humors whole and health and there may
be sufficient fulfilling. And he said I see that
the most fame is of wise men and prophetts by
words and books wch they have left into testimony
of them And I see that the sonnes of Adam and
of Hermes and of Noe and their sonnes & many
other prophets have left books by their death by
wch they should clarify their fame and anents men
[48r]
glory should remayne. And I see that my father
king David compowned or made some booke in wch be
conteyned all orisons wch he might knowe and fynde
wch sothely latin men that is Romanes clipeth the
psalter wch sothe it is if prayers alone and of holt
names of the creator it is names the head of Orisons.
In the same booke king David wrote all things that
ever he might knowe of patriarke and of old wise men
to the praising of the creator And I king Salomon
sothely long studyeng in holy words wth vertues and
miracles I founde to be while there is fulfilled in eche
thing worching trust and will sawe in the books in wch
while I studies long found and knowe that Adam and
Hermes and Noe and Moyses and many other most wise
men had great privityes & vertues in their bookes.
Cu ergo veteres et antiquos Sapientes &c
When therfore I understand old wise men to have
made bookes how or wth what wytt or wth what arte
I might knowe the sciences of all the aforesaid
I enquired and there answered unto mean old man of
good mynde and understanding wch was cleped zebraymayl
And I said Adam had a maker and a mr that is to say
or Lord his maker and gabriell to mr ffurthermore
Hermes the discreet and most wise man and Moyses
had a master and a friend that is to witt Cretus Also
Aaron sothely had a friend of wch therfore is made
resistance that a wise man may not be wthout a mr
how arresteth it thun in thee that two may be wise wthout
one mr But that thou be wise these I knowe to be
[48v]
necessary to thee. A wise mr and discreete long
and continuall study many olde bookes of great wise
men made oft and ofter over red profitt & amended
glad and continuall health of thy body long lyfe
wthout cares and travailes quiet. The Salomon
said to the wise man Is not this possible to be done
by a shorter way then that thou hast said above
Zebraymayl answered king by a lighter & shorter
way then this ne unknowe thou not to may be done
To whom Salomon said How therfore to whome
the wise man answered agayne saying Open thou
privily and fully the arke of the Testant no man
knowing or understanding in wch all secrets or
privityes and olde wisdomes and words of great
power and of vertue thou shalt fynde By wch
not only thou shalt knowe things passed but
these also that be present and likewise these that
be to come. The Salomon answered agayne
saying for this that thou hast answered to me I
give thanks to that high and blessed creator wch
reigneth after that it pleased to him all things wth word
alone he formed or made. And there is not any
more noble or mightier then he wthout whome no
vertue or power is wch giveth wisedome to wise
men, he is that is of all things the fyrste sithe
he is wthout beginning and of all things the last
sith there is no end of him. This is of all thinges
[49r]
maker and none ymade of whome the raigne or
raigning is and shall be and of whome all worke be
good and of whome he will over all is free sith there
is none that may againe say to him. Whereupon Salomon
trowing or trusting to Zebraymayl made the
arke of the testament to be brought before him. And
he sought all the bookes of Moyses and of Aaron of
Adam and of Noe and of their sonnes and of Hermes
and of other prophetts, and of others wch he might finde
of the miracle of words and the vertues of them And
he sought all the old Idolls of heathen men & Images
of divers tongs having writings and all things graven
wch might be founde by all the parts of the worlds
And he made them to be gathered togithers into his
pallace, and he brought forth Mrs of everiche one
of the 72 wch should expound to him privy lres or
hid Y. C. M. Hebrew Caldy Syriacke greeke
writing and that they should expound to him that
wch were hidde. And when the lres were expounded
he sawe the more party to accord wth hit in vertues of
words.
Rex ergo Salomon fecit arca nocte quadam aperiri
&c
therfore King Salomon made the arke
some might privily to be opened that in the arke wth
reasons afterward he should be learned. And
Salomon said After that the sovreigne and Almighty
Creator had infused that grace of his spirit in me
I opened the arke of the testament in wch I found all
[49v]
things wch long and studiously before I had sought
Among wch I found the booke wch is cleped Raziel
wch the creator sent to Adam by the angell Raziel when
upon the brinke of the floud of paradice weeping
thilke creator he prayed and of him forgivenes of
his sinnes he besought. And I found the booke wch
the creator gave to Moyses in the hill when he
made him partner of his privityes In wch three
bookes that is three Orisons I found.
The first the prophets clepeth Semiforas wch
the creator gave to Adam in Paradice
The second booke is wch the creator gave to Adam
in paradice in the hower of necessity or need
The third is wch the creator gave to Moyses
in the hill of Sinay after that he had fulfilled the fasting.
And Salomon said I found in the arke a pott
full of manna, and the yard of Moyses wch was
changed into a serpent and efte from a serpent
into a yard And the tables of the lawe and peeces
of the first lres wch Moyses for the sinnes of the
people in his wrothe he broke in the ground sothely
of the arke I found some golden tables quadtrate
or fowre cornered In wch were 15 precious stones
twelve tribes or lynages of Israell by similitude
likened And in everiche stone were written the
holy highe names of the creator of the booke
Semiforas out drawen And I found a boxe of
marble having greene color as Jaspis coloured
[50r]
And in this boxe were 7 figures, and in each figure
7 great and virtuous names of the Creator to Moyses
tolde and other 7 wch the creator taught Adam in paradice.
And this is a secret or privity wch much leaned
and covered ought worshipfully to be kept. I found also
about thextremityes of arke 24 vertuous rings wth
names and figures of the creator writt in Semiforas
wth divers colors written or figured And I myself
Salomon had one of thilk rings having mynde to the same
In wch I knowe to have founden such vertue that when
I said make it to rayne and it rayned And when I said
eft as thou hast made it to rayne so make thilk rayne
to cease agayne and it ceased. And beside Jerusalem
the same realme aswell of tempests as of raines it did
or made And Salomon said I found Semiforas wth wch
Moyses made the plagues in Egypt, and wth wch he dryed the
red sea, and wth wch also he drewe out water out of the
stone, and wth wch also he knewe all the cleannesse of his
people, and wth wch also overcame princes and kings and
mighty men, and wth wch whatever he would do he did
and that wch he would destroy he destroyed And wth wch
fulfilled it at his owne will
Capitulum explanationis hujus nois Semiforas &c
The chapter of explanation of this name semiforam
And it is that that all divells and wynds and men as
well quicke as dead, and all spirits and all bodyes
dreadeth. Wherefore sothely Semiforas is said or
nempned the first secret or privity and of great old
and much yleaned and hidde and of great vertue and
power to gett what ever he would. Semiforas is a word
[50v]
wch ought not to be shewed to all men, neither by
hit (but wth great necessity or anguish) ought any
man to worche. And then wth dread of the creator
he ought cleanely and meekely and devoutly to nempne
it. Also Semiforas is roote and beginning and
foundament of oryson, ensample of good lyfe trust of
mans body the prison or prayer of a Just man thilk
creator dreading. And Salomon said about Semiforas
These be necessary wth mekeness fasting, with oryson
trust wth clarity cleannesse, wth patience meekenes
and constancy of a man wthout wch yow might worche
nothing. And wth the wch whatever thou wilt thou
shalt gett. When all vertues in worching by Semiforas
ought to be nethelesse these 7 that is mekeness trueth
patience abstinence trust clarit mercy ought in him
principally to be had or to abound.
Si ergo per Semiforas operari volumes oportet
quod simus &c If therfore we will worche
by Semiforas it behoveth that we be bright or
cleane of body and in trust stedfast and from
falsenesse and leasing fully departed. It behoveth
also to dread the creator and the creatures of
him among wch we ought to dread most the sonne
wch giveth to us light and darkenes colde and hott
wch is cause of changing of tymes and of temperment
of the aire and of herbes. We ought also to knowe
the beholdings of the moone and the moneths wch
by hit 12 and 5, 13 by accounted as the said nyssan
yar tina &c And we ought to knowe the waxing
[51r]
and decreasing of the mone when by it all creatures
as the sea flouds and welles and all the neather bodyes
waxing and decreasing taken bloud in the veynes and
marrowe in the head and the bones. After that
the mone taketh waxing & decreasing they be nourished
in thilk Also the enfusiall or melting of
metalls ne doubt thou not the vertue of the mone
to worche. We ought also to knowe Sabaday .i. Saturne
by whome hunger and dearth and all anguish
in londs befalleth. We ought also to knowe & dread
Zedek .i. Jove by whome honor and health and righteousnes
and a;; good is had. We should also knowe and
dread Madin .i. Martem of whome chollers & strifes
and hate and battailes and leasing and all evills cometh.
We ought also to knowe and dread Hanina .i. solem
by whome we have light and darkenes & cleerenes
and by whome tymes as evill unto good into evill be
transmuted or changed. We ought also to dreade
and know Nogam .i. Venerem by whome we have
meate and drinke and all necessaries or things that
be needful by whome peace and love and dilection
among men is made fast and stable. We ought also
to dread Cocab .i. Mercury for he is nigher
to us then all except the mone by whome merchandise
and venditions or sellings and all seculer things
be exercised. Therfore behold yow those that be said
and most the spirits abovesaid and thus thou shalt
profitt And whatever thou shalt axe of the creator
rightfully thou shalt have it.
[51v]

wch I found full greevous for to worche. I have
proved also the howers of zedek and Noga And I
sawe what ever I would worche of them lightly
I wrought. The howers of Cocab and Labana
otherwhile greevous otherwhile good I have proved
to be And I sawe that in the day and in the hower

thou shalt understande And thou shalt knowe the
hidde and privy willes of men.
Cumg per Semiforas operari voluerat &c
[52r]
When he would worche by Semiforas first or ever
he beganne any thing it behoveth him to name the 7

Heere beginneth the seaventh booke

that treateth of names and of the
vertues of them
Incipiunt srae et verba et noia Semiforas &c
Heere beginneth the lre and words and names
of Semiforas wch god the Creator gave to Adam
in paradice. In wch be fowre letters wch to the

of the beasts they be likened such they be ______28
And these be letters piteously and devoutly and
meekely name thou that peticion in all things
be fulfilled. Salomon said ther be to be said that
there are 7 semiforas. And the first is the
28 At this place are eight poorly formed Hebrew letters. Since no transliteration is given, it is impossible to determine with any certainty which letters are intended, given the similarities among the Hebrew letters heh (H), chet (CH), and tav (T or TH), and, if badly written, between vav (V) and yud (Y). My best guess is that the letters are supposed to show the tetragrammaton forward and backward: YHVHHVHY.
[53v]
Semiforas of Adam in wch be conteyned 4 chapters
The first is when Adam spake wth the creator in paradice.
