figns, John made mention of in the Revelation, fpeaking of the former in the beginning ; and the feven fpirits which are in the prefence of the throne of God, which I find are fet over the feven planets, in the end of the book, where he defcribes the platform of the heavenly city, faying, thaton the twelve gates thereof are twelve angels. There are again twenty-eight angels, who rule in the twenty-eight manfions of the moon, whofe names are thefe ; Genie l, Enediel, Anixiel , Azariel , Gabiel, Dirachiel, Sc be He/, Amnediel, Bar- bie/, Ardefid, Neciel, Abdizue l, Jazeriel, Ergediel, Atliel, Azeruel, Adrid, Egibid, Amutiei, Kyriel, Bethnael, Gelid, Requid, AbrinaeZ, Aziel, Tagriel, Atheniel, Amnixiel. There are alfo four princes of the angels, which are fet over the four winds, and over the four parts of the world. Michael is placed over the eaft-wind, Raphael over the weft, Gabriel over the north, Nariel, who by fome is called Ariel, is over the fouth. There are alfo afligned to the elements thefe, viz. to the air Cherub , to the water Tharjis , to the earth Ariel , to the fire Seraph.

And every one of them rules over many legions ; and after the fame manner, among evil fpitits, there are four, who, as moft potent kings, are fet over the reft, according to the four parts of the world, whofe names are thefe, viz. Urieus, king of the eaft ; Amaymon, king of the fouth ; Baymon, king of the weft ; Egin, king of the north ; which the Hebrew doctors perhaps call more rightly thus, Samuel, Azazel, Azael, and Mahazuel , under whom many others rule as princes of legions and rulers. Likewife there are innumerable demons of private offices. Moreover the ancient theologians of the Greeks reckon up fix demons, which they call Telchines, others- Alajlores ; which bearing ill-will to men, take up water out of the river Styx with their hands, fprinkle it upon the earth, whence follow calamities, plagues, and famines ; and thefe are faid to be Adieus, Megalezius, Ormenus, Lycus, Nicon, Mhnon. But he that defires to know exa&ly the diftinbt names, offices, places, and times of angels, and evil demons, let him inquire into the book of Rabbi Sir/ion of the Temples, and in his book of Lights, and in his treatife of the Greatnefs of Stature,
