Marty 15 Thursday. Hora 1 1/4 a meridie1
		- After Edward Talbot his calling into the stone; appeared a
		tall man, with a sceptre (Very great) of gold glittering. His body
		all red: and out of his head, did shoot out beams of light, like
		the sun beams2.
		- I being desirous, to know who he was, and his name; I
		requested him earnestly thereto, but he answered as followeth:
		---: Invocate nomen Domini agnoscetis eum.
		'Call in the name of the Lard, You will recognize him.'
		- Then I prayed the Psalm:3
		Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis: illuminet vultum,
		suum super nos, et misereatur nostri.
		Vulg. Ps:LXVI:1.
		'May God be gracious and bless us, may he show us a benign
		countenance.'
		Douay:LXVI:1.
		'God be merciful unto us; and cause his face to shine upon us:
		Selah4.
		A.V:LXVII:1.
		After that, he said:
		---: I am mighty.
		- Because he delayed to declare his name, Edward Talbot the
		skryer did require him: in the name of God the father, Jesus Christ
		his son5, and of the holy ghost, to express his name. And he
		answered in speech:
		---: So I will by and by.
		- Then he seemed to take from his head little bright
		sparks,like little candles' ends; and to stick them about the
		chair6, and he went round about the chair, and then he spake, as
		followeth:
i.		---: I am mighty and working wonders; I am SOLOMON7. I rule in
		the heavens, and bear sway upon earth; in his name, who be blessed
		forever. Thou doest doubt at me. I am the servant of God, in his
		light; I serve him. I say, I serve him; with fear and reverence.
		My name is SOLOMON8: Mighty in the Sun9, Worker of Worldly actions;
		as well internal, as external. Known unto God; whose name I know,
		and bless forever.
		- Then appeared a big flame of fire by him in the air.
		Solomon: Thou knowest not, or thou wilt not know, that
		Mammon10, with his servants, are present about thee. Whose presence
		doth hinder the presence of the virtues11 Adonai overcoming.
		Blessed be God, in the highest. Amen.
		- He took the forsaid flame of fire, and flung it unto the
		heavenward.
ii.		Solomon: Mammon12 is a king whom God hateth: whose sect
		continually tempt, provoke, and stir up wickedness against the
		Lord, and against his annointed. But he dies, blessed be God
		forever. Drive him away.
		: It is incomparably more easy for you to do. And as for my
		part I feel neither in body, nor soul; any token of his presence or
		working.
		Thereupon he caused the whole chamber (Which we were in) to
		appear very plainly in the stone13: and so there shewed a great
		company of Wicked Spirits14 to be in the chamber; and among them,
		One, most horrible and grisly, threatening, and approaching to our
		heads, and scorning and gnashing at us.
		Solomon: God determines his mysteries, by Art and Virtue.
		- Then he Willed Very eagerly to drive them away. And I
		prayed fervently. And there seemed one to come into the stone,
		which had very long arms; and he drove them away courageously. And
		so they were driven away.
		After that presently, came one into the stone, all white.
		Solomon reached this white one a Cup. The white man held up the
		cup; and said, as followeth:
iii.	---: Lo this is my name.
	God shall bless you. Fear not. Your faithfullness provoketh me
	to tell my name, and this it is: (putting forth the Cup again) for
	I am called
	Medicina Dei15.
	God his Healing.
	I will shew thee, and I will show you, the Angel of your Direction,
iv.	Which is called OCH16
	- This name he spake, he showed it also on the Table17
	(before him) written.
	Raphael: He is mighty in the Sun18 beams, he shall profit
	thee19 hereafter.
	- Then came in another, and sat down in the chair; and he
	said as followeth:
	---: The strength of God Liveth, and reigneth forever.
	I am
	Fortitudo Dei20.
	God his Strength.
	: Why then, you are Gabriel; and I took you but hereto to be
	Michael. Michael; how shall I then amend my book, in respect of
	your name always before written Michael?
	Fortitudo Dei: What thou hast Written, That hast thou
	Written; and it is true.
	Write down this name POLIPOS.
	Doth thou understand it?
	: No, God knoweth.
	Fortitudo Dei: When that day cometh, I will speak with thee,
v.	if thou observe that which I have commanded thee.
	As truly as I was with SOLOMON21, so truly will I be with
	thee.
	- Then came in another; Whom we take to be Uriel, for he
	went also, as he was want, and leaned at the Table.
	Fortitudo Dei: Search for Wisdom and Learning, and the Lord
	Will deliver it unto you.
	: I would to god. I knew your name truly, or What peculiar
	Letter I might set for you, to Note your Words and Actions by.
	Fortitudo Dei:Name I have none, but by my Office.
	SOLOMON came not hither, but by me.
	He is a mighty Prince, governing the heavens, under my power.
	This is sufficient for thy Instruction.
	I was with Solomon, in all his Works and Wonders22; and so was
	this, Whome God had appointed Unto him.
	The Divines know his name, and he is not hidden from the face
	of the earth. His name is written in the book which Lieth in the
	Window.
vi.	: Do you mean Agrippa his book? And it is there expressed by
	the name SOLOMON?23
	Fortitudo Dei:I have said.
	: What order will you appoint unto us two, in respect of our
	two beings together My friend here may have other intents and
	purposes of his affairs, than will serve me for his aid having in
	these Actions.
	Fortitudo Dei: Join in prayers. For God hath blessed you.
	Doubt not. Consider these Mysteries.
	: Then they in the stone used talk together, but not well to
	be discerned by the ear of Edward Talbot.
	At length Fortitudo Dei talked very much, and speedily to
	Edward Talbot and disclosed unto him (Which he expressed not to me,
	at the stone, but disclosed afterward) all the manner of the
	practice, and circumstance about the Action intended, With the Gold
	Lamen, the ring, the seals etc24. And after I had spoken somewhat;
	in requesting him to shew me the manner, How I should artificially
	prepare everything spoken of he said:
	Fortitudo Dei:25 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
	Dee's Marginalia:
	i. SOLOMON: Of Solomon you may read in the call,
