Lesser-Key-Of-Solomon

[INTRODUCTION1:
It is called the Notary Art because in certain breif notes it teacheth and
comprehendeth the knowledge of all arts. This fifth part is a book of orations
and prayers that wise Solomon used upon the altar in the temple,
called Ars Nova, & was revealed to Solomon by the holy angel of God
called Michael and he also received many breif notes written by the finger
of god which was delivered to him by the said angel with thunder claps,
without which notes King Solomon had never obtained his great knowledge
from those notes it is called the notary art.
This is a flower of the sun (as Dr. Rudd calls it) fit for every mans
garden; its vertues will soon be knowne if practised, and the blasts of vice
dispersed. Its subject is too sublime to be expresed quod portess perfidem
intelligi et non aliter et petjidem in es sporarepotes.
And Dr. Rudd saith in vindication of this book and himselfe - Dico
coram ... separabor (see p. 159).J
