God, the holy, the terrible, and the glorious, who concerning all his
works and strength is incomprehensible and unsearchable, who himself hath
ordained for thee, O devil, the retribution of eternal torment, through
us, his unworthy servants, biddeth thee, and all thy co-operating might
to depart from him that is newly sealed in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, our true God. I forbid thee therefore, O most evil, and impure,
and foul, and abominable, and alien spirit, by the might of Jesus Christ,
who hath all power in heaven and upon earth, who spake unto the deaf and
dumb demon, Get thee out of the man, and enter no more into him. Depart,
know the vainness of thy might, which had not power even over swine.
Remember him who bade thee, at thy request, enter into the herd of swine.
Fear God, at whose command the earth was stablished upon the waters; who
hath founded the heaven, and fixed the mountains with a line, and the
valleys with a measure; who hath placed the sand as a bound for the sea,
and made a safe path in the raging water; who toucheth the mountains and
they smoke; who investeth himself with light as with a garment; who hath
stretched out the heaven as a curtain; who covereth his upper-chambers
with waters; who hath founded the earth on firm foundations, so that it
shall not be moved for ever; who calleth up the water of the sea, and
poureth it upon the face of the earth. Get thee hence and depart from him
who is being prepared for holy illumination. I forbid thee by the saving
passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by his precious body and blood, and
by his terrible advent; for he shall come, and shall not tarry, to judge
all the earth, and shall punish thee and thy co-operating might in the
gehenna of fire, consigning thee to outer darkness, where the worm dieth
not and the fire is not quenched. For of Christ our God is the might,
with the Father and the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages.
Amen.
_Third exorcism._
Let us pray to the Lord.
O Lord of Sabaoth, the God of Israel, who healest every sickness and
every wound; look down upon thy servant, search out and try him, and
drive away from him every operation of the devil. Forbid the unclean
spirits, and expel them, and cleanse the work of thy hand, and, using
thy swift efficacy, beat down satan shortly under his feet; and give
him victory over him, and over his unclean spirits; that, obtaining
mercy from thee, he may be counted worthy of thine immortal and heavenly
mysteries, and may ascribe glory unto thee, to the Father, and to the
Son, and to the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
_Fourth prayer._
Let us pray to the Lord.
