The Operations of the following Chapters can also (to a great extent) be administered by the Familiar Spirits, namely:--

Chapter II. (Scientific Information.)

Chapter XIX. (Affection and Love.)

Chapter XXIII. (Demolishing Buildings.)

Chapter XXIV. (Discovery of Theft.

Chapter XXVII. (Causing Visions to appear.)

Chapter XXVIII. (Obtaining Money.)

Chapter XXX. (Visions of Operas, Comedies, etc.)

If at the beginning they excuse themselves from the performance, there is probably some hindering cause, and in this case you should make use of other Spirits; but otherwise they must obey you in and throughout everything that you shall command them.


Footnotes

138:1 Here again I am giving the headings of the Chapters of the Third Book at length; as by so doing they form a species of Key to the character, nature and offices of the Prince who governs their Operations.

140:1 in addition to the chapters here given, Magoth is said to rule the operations of Chapter XIV. (Invisibility), in the special instructions of Abraham, the Jew, concerning that chapter.
