Benediction of Perfumes.
THE God of Abraham, God of Ifaac, God of Jacob, blefs here the creatures of thefe kinds, that they may fill up the power and virtue of their odours ; fo that neither the enemy nor any falfe imagination may be able to enter into them; through our Lord Jefus Chrift, &c. Then fprinkle the fame with holy water.
The Exorcism of Fire into which the Perfumes are to be put.
I EXORCISE thee, O thou creature of fire, by the only true God Jehovah, Adonai, Tetragrammaton, that forthwith thou caft away every phantafin from thee, that it fhall do no hurt to any one. We befeech thee, O Lord, to blefs this creature of fire, and fandlify it, fo that it may be blefled to fet forth the praife and glory of thy holy name, and that no hurt may be permitted to come to the exorciferor fpedtators ; through our Lord Jefus Chrift. Amen .

It fhould be made in the day and hour of Mercury upon parchment made of a kidfkin, or virgin, or pure, clean, white paper ; and the figures and
