CHAP. XXVIII. THE MAGIC TABLES OF THE PLANETS---THEIR FORM AND VIRTUE---WHAT DIVINE NAMES, INTELLIGENCES, AND SPIRITS, ARE SET OVER THEM. THERE 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. But 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—the 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. Now 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.

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.

These, with Mars fortunate, being engraven on an iron plate, or sword, makes a 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—it casts down the powerful from dignities, honours, and riches—causes discord and hatred amongst men and beasts—drives away bees, pigeons, and fish—and hinders mills from working, i. e. binds them;—it likewise renders hunters and fighters unfortunate—causes barrenness in men and women—and strikes a terror into our enemies, and compels them to submit.

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.

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.

There are over it divine names, with an intelligence to what is good, and a fpirit to evil; and from it are drawn the characters of the Moon and the spirits thereof. This, the Moon being fortunate, engraven on filver, makes the bearer amiable, pleafant, cheerful, and honoured, removing all malice and ill-will; it caufes fecurity in a journey, increafe of riches, and health of body; drives away enemies, and other evil things from what place foever thou shalt wifh them to be expelled. 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; and it makes every man unfortunate against whom it fhall be directly done, making him fly his place of abode (and even his country) where it shall be buried; and it hinders phyficians and orators, and all men whatfoever in their office, against whom it fhall be made.

Here follow the divine names correfponding with the numbers of the planets, with the names of the intelligences and dæmons, or fpirits, fubject to thofe names. It is to be underftood that the intelligences are the prefiding good angels that are fet over the planets; but that the fpirits or dæmons, with their names, feals, or characters, are never infcribed upon any Talifman, except to execute any evil effect, and that they are fubject to the intelligences, or good fpirits; and again, when the fpirits and their characters are ufed, it will be more conducive to the effect to add fome divine name appropriate to that effect which we defire.
