XXVIII.\n\nTHE MAGIC TABLES OF THE PLANETS---THEIR FORM AND VIRTUE---WHAT DIVINE NAMES, INTELLIGENCES, AND SPIRITS, ARE SET OVER THEM.\n\nTHERE are certain magic tables of numbers distributed to the seven planets, which they call the sacred tables of the planets; because, being rightly formed, they are endued with many great virtues of the heavens, insomuch that they represent the divine order of the celestial numbers, impressed upon them by the ideas of the divine mind, by means of the soul of the world, and the sweet harmony of those celestial rays; signifying, according to proportion, supercelestial intelligences, which can no other way be expressed than by the marks of numbers, letters, and characters; for material numbers and figures can do nothing in the mysteries of hidden things, but representatively by formal numbers and figures, as they are governed and informed by intelligences and divine enumerations, which unite the extremes of the matter and spirit to the will of the elevated soul, receiving (through great affection, by the celestial power of the operator) a virtue and power from God, applied through the soul of the universe; and the observation of celestial constellations to a matter fit for a form, the mediums being difposed by the skill and industry of the magician.\n\nBut now we will hasten to explain each particular table. The first table is assigned to the planet Saturn, and consists of a square of three, containing the particular numbers of nine, and in every line three every way, and through each diameter making fifteen\u2014the whole sum of numbers forty-five; over this are set such divine names as fill up the numbers with an intelligence, to what is good, and a spirit to bad; and out of the same numbers are drawn the seal and character of Saturn, and of the spirits thereof, such as is beneath ascribed to the table.\n\nNow this table being with a fortunate Saturn, engraven on a plate of lead, helps child-birth; and to make any man safe or powerful; and to cause success of petitions with princes and powers; but if it be done, Saturn being unfortunate, it hinders buildings, planting, and the like, and casts a man from honours and dignities, causes discord, quarrelling, and disperses an army.\n\nThe Table of Saturn in his Compass\n\n4\n9\n2\n\n3\n5\n7\n\n8\n1\n6\n\n\u2644\n\nThe same Table in Hebrew\n\n\u05e8\n\n\u05d8\n\n\u05d1\n\n\u05d4\n\n\u05df\n\n\u05d7\n\n\u05d0\n\n\u05d9\n\nThe Seal of Saturn\n\nOf the Intelligence of \u2644\n\nOf the Spirit of \u2644\n\nThe second is the table of Jupiter, which consists of a square drawn into itself; it contains sixteen particular numbers, and in every line and diameter four, making thirty-four; the sum of all is one hundred and thirty-six. There are over it divine names, with an intelligence to that which is good, and a spirit to bad; and out of it is drawn the character of Jupiter and the spirits thereof; if this is engraven on a plate of silver, with Jupiter being powerful and ruling in the heavens, it conduces to gain riches and favour, love, peace, and concord, and to appease enemies, and to confirm honours, dignities, and counsels; and dissolves enchantments if engraven on a coral.\n\nThe Table of Jupiter\n\n4\n14\n15\n1\n\n9\n7\n6\n12\n\n5\n11\n10\n8\n\n16\n2\n3\n13\n\n\u2643\n\nIn Hebrew\n\n\u05e8\n\n\u05d9\u05e8\n\n\u05d0\n\n\u05d8\n\n\u05d4\n\n\u05d9\u05d0\n\n\u05d9\n\nThe Seal of Jupiter\n\nOf the Intelligence of \u2643\n\nOf the Spirit of \u2643\n\nThe third table belongs to Mars, which is made of a square of five, containing twenty-five numbers, and of these, in every side and diameter, five, which makes sixty-five, and the sum of all is three hundred and twenty-five; and there are over it divine names with an intelligence to good, and a spirit to evil, and out of it is drawn the characters of Mars and of his spirits. These, with Mars fortunate, being engraven on an iron plate, or sword, makes\na man potent in war and judgment, and petitions, and terrible to his enemies, and victorious over them; and if engraven upon the stone correola, it stops blood, and the menstrues; but if it be engraven, with Mars being unfortunate, on a plate of red brass, it prevents and hinders buildings\u2014it casts down the powerful from dignities, honours, and riches\u2014causes discord and hatred amongst men and beasts\u2014drives away bees, pigeons, and fish\u2014and hinders mills from working, i. e. binds them;\u2014it likewise renders hunters and fighters unfortunate\u2014causes barrenness in men and women\u2014and strikes a terror into our enemies, and compels them to submit.\n\nThe Table of Mars\n\n11\n24\n7\n20\n3\n\n4\n12\n25\n8\n16\n\n17\n5\n13\n21\n9\n\n10\n18\n1\n14\n22\n\n23\n6\n19\n2\n15\n\n\u2642\n\nIn Hebrew\n\n\u05d9\u05d0\n\nThe Seal of Mars\n\nOf his Intelligence\n\nOf his Spirit\n\nThe fourth table is of the Sun, and is made of a square of six, and contains thirty-six particular numbers, whereof six in every side and diameter produce one hundred and eleven, and the sum of all is six hundred and sixty-six; there are over it divine names, with an intelligence to what is good, and a spirit to what is evil, and out of it is drawn the character of the Sun and of his spirits. This being engraven on a plate of pure gold, Sol being fortunate, renders him that wears it renowned, amiable, acceptable, potent in all his works, and equals him to a king, elevating his fortunes, and enabling him to do whatever he will. But with an unfortunate Sun, it makes one a tyrant, proud, ambitious, insatiable, and finally to come to an ill ending.\n\nThe Table of the Sun in his Compass\n\n6\n32\n3\n34\n35\n1\n\n7\n11\n27\n28\n8\n30\n\n19\n14\n16\n15\n23\n24\n\n18\n20\n22\n21\n17\n13\n\n25\n29\n10\n9\n26\n12\n\n36\n5\n33\n4\n2\n31\n\n\u2609\n\nThe same in Hebrew.\n\n\u05d0\n\nThe Character of the Seal of the Sun\n\nHis Intellegence\n\nHis Spirit\n\nThe fifth table is of Venus; consisting of a square of seven, drawn into itself, viz. of forty-nine numbers, whereof seven on each side and diameter make one hundred and feventy-five, and the sum of all is one thousand two hundred and twenty-five; there are, likewise, over it divine names, with an intelligence to good, and a spirit to evil; and there is drawn out of it the character of Venus, and her spirits. This being engraven on a plate of silver, Venus being fortunate, promotes concord, ends strife, procures the love of women, helps conception, is good against barrenness, gives ability for generation, dissolves enchantments, causes peace between man and woman, and makes all kinds of animals fruitful, and likewise cattle; and being put into a dove or pigeon house, causes an increase; it likewise drives away melancholy distempers, and causes joyfulness; and this being carried about travellers, makes them fortunate. But if it be formed upon brafs, Venus being unfortunate, it acts contrary to all that has been faid.\n\nThe Table of Venus in her Compass\n\n22\n47\n16\n41\n10\n35\n4\n\n5\n23\n43\n17\n42\n11\n29\n\n30\n6\n24\n49\n81\n36\n12\n\n13\n31\n7\n25\n43\n19\n37\n\n38\n14\n32\n1\n26\n44\n20\n\n21\n39\n8\n33\n2\n27\n45\n\n46\n15\n40\n9\n34\n3\n28\n\n\u2640\n\nin Hebrew.\n\nImage missing\nThe Seal of Venus\n\nHer Intelligence\n\nHer Spirit\n\nHer Intelligences\n\nThe fixth table is of Mercury, refulting from a fquare of eight drawn into itfelf, containing fixty-four numbers, whereof eight on every fide and by both diameters make two hundred and fixty, and the fum of all is two thoufand and eighty; and over it are fet divine names, with an intelligence to good, with a fpirit to bad, and from it is drawn a character of Mercury, and the fpirits thereof; and if, with Mercury being fortunate, you engrave it upon filver, tin, or yellow brafs, or write it upon virgin parchment, it renders the bearer thereof grateful, acceptable, and fortunate to do what he pleafes: it brings gain, and prevents poverty; helps the memory, under\u017ftanding, and divination, and to the under\u017ftanding of occult things by dreams; but with an unfortunate Mercury does every thing contrary to this.\n\nThe Table of Mercury in his Compass.\n\n8\n58\n59\n5\n4\n62\n63\n1\n\n49\n15\n14\n52\n53\n11\n10\n56\n\n41\n23\n22\n44\n48\n19\n18\n45\n\n32\n34\n38\n29\n25\n35\n39\n28\n\n40\n26\n27\n37\n36\n30\n31\n33\n\n17\n47\n46\n20\n21\n43\n42\n24\n\n9\n55\n54\n12\n13\n51\n50\n16\n\n64\n2\n3\n61\n60\n6\n7\n57\n\n\u263f\n\nThe same in Hebrew\n\n\u05d7\n\n\u05e0\u05d7\n\n\u05e0\u05d8\n\n\u05d4\n\n\u05d3\n\n\u05d0\n\n\u05d9\u05d4\n\n\u05d9\u05d3\n\n\u05d2\u05d1\n\n\u05e0\u05d2\n\n\u05d9\u05d0\n\nThe Seal or Character of Mercury\n\nImage missing\nThe Character of the Intelligence of Mercury \u263f\n\nImage missing\nThe Character of the Spirit of Mercury \u263f\n\nThe feventh and laft table is of the Moon: it confifts of a fquare of nine, having eighty-one numbers in every fide, and diameter nine, producing three hundred and fixty-nine; and the fum of all is three thoufand three hundred and twenty-one.

But if the Moon be unfortunate, and it be engraved on a plate of lead, wherever it fhall be buried it makes that place unfortunate, and the inhabitants thereabouts, as alfo fhips, rivers, fountains, and mills;
