PART V: THE NOTORY ART OF SOLOMON
meditate on them in my Conscience: By the Oath of thy Heart, that is,
By the Right-hand of thy holy Knowledge, and mercifully inspire thy
Grace into me; Teach and instruct me; Establish the coming in and going
out of my Senses, and let thy Precepts teach and correct me until the end;
and let the Counce! of the most High assist me, through thy infinite
Wisdom and Mercy. Amen.
The words ofthese Orations cannot be wholly Expounded.
Neither think, that all words of the preceding Oration can be translated
into the Latin Tongue: For some words ofthat Oration contain in
themselves a greater Sense ofMystical Profundity, ofthe Authority ofSolomon;
and having reference to his Writings, we acknowledge, That these Orations
cannot be expounded nor understood by humane sense: For it is necessary,
That all Orations, and distinct particulars of Astronomy, Astrology, and the
Notary Art, be spoken and pronounced in their due time and season; and the
Operations ofthem to be made according to the disposition ofthe Times.
Ofthe Triumphal Figures, how sparingly they are to be pronounced, and
honestly and devoutly spoken.
There are also certain Figures or Orations, which Solomon in
Chaldeack, calleth Hely; that is, Triumphal Orations of the Liberal
Arts, and sudden excellent Efficacies ofVertues; and they are the Introduction
to the Notary Art. Wherefore Solomon made a special beginning
of them, that they are to be pronounced at certain determinate
times of the Moon; and not to be undertaken, without consideration of
the end. Which also Magister Apollonius hath fully and perfectly taught,
saying, Whosoever will pronounce these words let him do it in a determinate
appointed time, and set aside all other occasions, and he shall
profit in all Sciences in one Moneth, and attain to them in an extraordinary
wonderful manner.
The Expositions ofthe Lunations ofthe Notary Art.
~ hese are the Expositions of the Lunation, and Introduction of the
.1 Notary Art, to wit, in the fourth and the eighth day ofthe Moon; and
in the twelfth, sixteenth, four and twentieth, eight and twentieth, and thirtieth
they ought to be put in operation. From whence Solomon saith, That
to those times, we give the expositive times ofthe Moon; ofthe fourth day
