(70.) SEERE, SEAR, or SEIR.—The Seventieth Spirit is Seere, Sear, or
Seir. He is a Mighty Prince, and Powerful, under AMAYMON, King of the
East. He appeareth in the Form of a Beautiful Man, riding upon a Winged
Horse. His Office is to go and come; and to bring abundance of things to
pass on a sudden, and to carry or recarry anything whither thou wouldest
have it to go, or whence thou wouldest have it from. He can pass over
the whole Earth in the twinkling of an Eye. He giveth a True relation of
all sorts of Theft, and of Treasure hid, and of many other things. He is
of an indifferent Good Nature, and is willing to do anything which the
Exorcist desireth. He governeth 26 Legions of Spirits. And this his Seal
is to be worn, etc.
(71.) DANTALION.—The Seventy-first Spirit is Dantalion. He is a Duke
Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man with many Countenances,
all Men’s and Women’s Faces; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His
Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the
Secret Counsel of any one; for he knoweth the Thoughts of all Men and
Women, and can change them at his Will. He can cause Love, and show the
Similitude of any person, and show the same by a Vision, let them be in
what part of the World they Will. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits;
and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc.
(72.) ANDROMALIUS.—The Seventy-second Spirit in Order is named
Andromalius. He is an Earl, Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a
Man holding a Great Serpent in his Hand. His Office is to bring back
both a Thief, and the Goods which be stolen; and to discover all
Wickedness, and Underhand Dealing; and to punish all Thieves and other
Wicked People and also to discover Treasures that be Hid. He ruleth over
36 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, the which wear thou as
aforesaid, etc.
THESE be the 72 Mighty Kings and Princes which King Solomon Commanded
into a Vessel of Brass, together with their Legions. Of whom BELIAL,
BILETH, ASMODAY, and GAAP, were Chief. And it is to be noted that
Solomon did this because of their pride, for he never declared other
reason why he thus bound them. And when he had thus bound them up and
sealed the Vessel, he by Divine Power did chase them all into a deep
Lake or Hole in Babylon. And they of Babylon, wondering to see such a
thing, they did then go wholly into the Lake, to break the Vessel open,
expecting to find great store of Treasure therein. But when they had
broken it open, out flew the Chief Spirits immediately, with their
Legions following them; and they were all restored to their former
places except BELIAL, who entered into a certain Image, and thence gave
answers unto those who did offer Sacrifices unto him, and did worship
the Image as their God, etc.
