197:4 At the request <strong>of</strong> the operator (Wierus).<br />

197:5 He is the third spirit in the Hierarchy <strong>of</strong> Wierus.<br />

197:6 Or Malaphar.<br />

197:7 With the head <strong>of</strong> a hunter or a thief, says Wierus. He shews friendship to his<br />

familiars till they are caught in the trap.<br />

198:1 Cauda serpentis, says Wierus.<br />

198:2 And, according to another MS., "a great head like to a mighty raven."<br />

198:3 He also understands the songs <strong>of</strong> birds and the language <strong>of</strong> all other animals<br />

(Wierus).<br />

198:4 A longer recension says: By Lucifer is here to be understood he that was drowned<br />

in the depths <strong>of</strong> his knowledge. He would needs be like God and for his pride and<br />

arrogancy was thrown out into destruction. Of him it is said--Every precious stone is thy<br />

covering. <strong>The</strong> last reference is to the panegyric <strong>of</strong> the Prince <strong>of</strong> Tyre in Ezekiel: its<br />

occurrence in this place is most remarkable.<br />

198:5 It appears from Wierus that the operator may fail to understand this spirit, in which<br />

case he must stretch forth the character belonging to him and command him to speak<br />

clearly.<br />

dignities.
