First, thou shalt know and observe the Moon’s Age for thy working. The
best days be when the Moon Luna is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 days old,
as Solomon saith; and no other days be profitable. The Seals of the 72
Kings are to be made in Metals. The Chief Kings’ in Sol (Gold);
Marquises’ in Luna (Silver); Dukes’ in Venus (Copper); Prelacies’ in
Jupiter (Tin); Knights’ in Saturn (Lead); Presidents’ in Mercury
(Mercury); Earls’ in Venus (Copper), and Luna (Silver), alike equal,
etc.
THESE 72 Kings be under the Power of AMAYMON, CORSON, ZIMIMAY or
ZIMINAIR, and GÖAP, who are the Four Great Kings ruling in the Four
Quarters, or Cardinal Points,[30] viz.: East, West, North, and South,
and are not to be called forth except it be upon Great Occasions; but
are to be Invocated and Commanded to send such or such a Spirit that is
under their Power and Rule, as is shown in the following Invocations or
Conjurations. And the Chief Kings may be bound from 9 till 12 o’clock at
Noon, and from 3 till Sunset; Marquises may be bound from 3 in the
afternoon till 9 at Night, and from 9 at Night till Sunrise; Dukes may
be bound from Sunrise till Noonday in Clear Weather; Prelates may be
bound any hour of the Day; Knights may from Dawning of Day till Sunrise,
or from 4 o’clock till Sunset; Presidents may be bound any time,
excepting Twilight, at Night, unless the King whom they are under be
Invocated; and Counties or Earls any hour of the Day, so it be in Woods,
or in any other places whither men resort not, or where no noise is,
etc.
Footnote 30:
These four Great Kings are usually called Oriens, or Uriens, Paymon or
Paymonia, Ariton or Egyn, and Amaymon or Amaimon. By the Rabbins they
are frequently entitled: Samael, Azazel, Azäel, and Mahazael.

NOTE.—It will be remarked that several among the above Spirits possess
two titles of different ranks; _e.g._, (45.) Viné is both King and Earl;
(25.) Glasya-Labolas is both President and Earl, etc. “Prince” and
“Prelate” are apparently used as interchangeable terms. Probably the
Seals of Earls should be made of Iron, and those of Presidents in
mixture either of Copper and Silver, or of Silver and Mercury; as
otherwise the Metal of one Planet, Mars, is excluded from the List; the
Metals attributed to the Seven Planets being: to Saturn, Lead; to
Jupiter, Tin; to Mars, Iron; to the Sun, Gold; to Venus, Copper; to
Mercury, Mercury and mixtures of Metals, and to Luna, Silver.
In a manuscript codex by Dr. Rudd, which is in the British Museum,
Hebrew names of these 72 Spirits are given; but it appears to me that
many are manifestly incorrect in orthography. The codex in question,
though beautifully written, also contains many other errors,
particularly in the Sigils. Such as they are, these names in the Hebrew
of Dr. Rudd are here shown. (_See Figures 81 to 152 inclusive._)
