obey Thy commands, above all when., forsaking Thy rule and Thy friendship, we have<br />

abjured <strong>The</strong>e and have consorted with the impious demons, nor yet contented with Thy<br />

denial, have bound ourselves in writing to those demons, surrendering the document <strong>of</strong><br />

our voluntary obligation against <strong>The</strong>e into their custody. But Thy mercies aye without<br />

number, O Lord <strong>of</strong> loving-kindness, and it is Thine to spare and to Pardon; look,<br />

therefore, with compassion upon this Thy creature, who, having formerly denied <strong>The</strong>e<br />

and given himself in writing to the demons, but now, having returned to himself by the<br />

help<br />

p. 263<br />

<strong>of</strong> Thine infinite goodness, doth abhor his impiety, doth desire to be restored unto <strong>The</strong>e<br />

his true Lord, and to be received with contrite heart into Thy favour. We know, O Lord,<br />

that a contrite and humble heart Thou wilt not despise, nor can any writing be an<br />

impediment in the way <strong>of</strong> Thy mercy; we beseech <strong>The</strong>e, therefore, that, by the abundance<br />

<strong>of</strong> Thy clemency, not only may the heinousness <strong>of</strong> this sin be blotted out with the Blood <strong>of</strong><br />

Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ, but that the demon, by the word <strong>of</strong> Thy Power, may be<br />

compelled to restore the deed and obligation and delivery, lest he glory in his tyranny<br />

and Pretend to any right over the man whom we pray to be delivered through Thy Son<br />

from his bonds. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, &c.<br />

<strong>The</strong> propitiation <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fended Deity is followed by a citation <strong>of</strong> the demon who is required<br />

to disgorge his prey.<br />

EXORCISM<br />

I exorcise thee, O impious Satan, who, when thy power has passed away, dost still<br />

pretend to impose a tyrant yoke on man. I exorcise thee by Jesus Christ, Who came into<br />

this world for the salvation <strong>of</strong> sinners; I conjure thee to remove thy yoke immediately<br />

from this creature, who, deceived by thy wiles, formerly delivered himself unto thee.<br />

Abandoning thee henceforth, he commits himself to the Divine mercy, seeking His service<br />

unto Whom he alone is owing, Who also promises the reward <strong>of</strong> eternal life to those who<br />

follow Him. I exorcise thee by the precious Blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ, by which the deed <strong>of</strong><br />

judgment against us hath been blotted out, so that when Jesus receiveth the sinner into<br />

His favour, thou shalt dare not to advance anything against him, and shalt not fail to<br />

restore the deed by which this creature bound himself unto thee, the same being now<br />

cancelled by the Blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ.<br />

p. 264<br />

Hear, therefore, accursed Satan, who art powerless over a servant <strong>of</strong> God, when,<br />

encouraged by his true Lord, he turneth unto another service; in vain dost thou boast <strong>of</strong><br />

this deed; I command thee to restore it in the name <strong>of</strong> the Lord, as a Pro<strong>of</strong> before the<br />

whole world that when God receiveth a sinner, thou hast no longer any Yule over his<br />

soul. I abjure thee, by Him who expelled thee from thy stronghold, bereft thee <strong>of</strong> the arms<br />

which thou didst trust in and distributed thy spoils. Return therefore this deed, whereby<br />

this creature <strong>of</strong> God foolishly bound himself to thy service; return it, I say, in His name
