CEREMONIAL MAGIC.

Now there Is an order of letters in thofe tables under the Pars and figns, almoP like that which is with the afirologers, of tens^elevens, twelves. Of this calculatory art Alphonfus Cyprius once wrote, and alfo fitted it to Latin characters ; but becaufe the letters of every tongue, as we Ihewed in the firP Book, have, in their number, order and figure, a celePial and divine original, I fihall eafily grant this calculation concerning the names of fpirits to be made not only by Hebrew letters* but alfo Chaldean, Arabick , Egyptian f Greek and Latin , and many others, the tables being rightly made after the imitation of the pre- fi dents. -
But here it is objected by many, that it falls out that in thefe tables men of a differing nature and fortune do oftentimes, by reafon of the famenefs of name, obtain' the fame genius of the fame name. We muP know therefore that it muP not be thought abfurd, that the fame daemon may be feparated from any one foul, and the fame be fet over more. Befides, as many men have the lame name, fo alfo fpirits of divers offices or natures may be noted or marked by. one name, and by one and the fame feal or character, yet in a dif- ferent refpeCt ; for as the ferpent does fometimes typify ChriP, and fometimes the devil, fo the fame names and the fame feals may be applied fometimes to the order of a good demon, fometimes of a bad one. LaPly, the very ardent intention of the invocatOr,, by which our intellect is joined to the feparated intelligences, is the caufe that we have fometimes one fpirit, fometimes another, (although called upon under the fame name,) made obfequious to us.
See the 'following Plates for the tables of the calculation of the names of fpirits, good and bad, under the, prefidency of the feven planets, and under the order of the twelve militant figns.

64 THE CABALA; OR* Book !I.
CHAP. XV.
OF THE CHARACTERS AND SEALS OF SPIRITS.
WE muft now fpeak of the characters and feals of fpirits. Characters are nothing elfe than certain unknown letters and writings, preferving the fecrets of fpirits and their names from the ufe and reading of prophane men, which the ancients called hieroglyphical, or facred letters, becaufe devoted to the fecrets of God only. They accounted it unlawful to write the myfteries of God with thofe characters which prophane and vulgar things were wrote. Whence Porphyry fays, “ that the ancients were willing to conceal God and divine vir- tues, by fenfible figures and by thofe things which are vifible, yet fignifying invifible things 5” as being willing to deliver great myfteries in facred letters, and explain them in certain fymbolical figures ; as when they dedicated all round things to the world, the fun and the moon, hope and fortune ; a circle to the heavens, and parts of a circle to the moon ; pyramids and obelifks to the fire, a cylinder to the fun and earth. — See the plate.
CHAP. XVI.
ANOTHER WAY OF MAKING CHARACTERS, ACCORDING TO THE C A B A LISTS.
f
AMONG the Hebrews I find more fafhions of characters, whereof one is moft ancient, viz. an ancient writing which Mofes and the prophets ufed, the form of which is not rafhly to be difcovered to any ; for thofe letters which they ufe at this day were inftituted by Efdras. There is among them a writing which they call celeftial, becaufe they fhew it placed and figured among the
itars.
