Chapter 20.00: THE CONSTRAINT.

THE CONSTRAINT.

I do conjure thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the most
glorious and efficacious names of the Most Great and
Incomprehensible Lord God of Hosts, that thou comest
quickly and without delay from all parts and places of
the earth and world wherever thou mayest be, to make
rational answers unto my demands, and that visibly and
affably, speaking with a voice intelligible unto mine
understanding as aforesaid. I conjure and constrain
thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the names aforesaid; and
in addition by these seven great names wherewith Solomon
the Wise bound thee and thy companions in a Vessel
of Brass, Adonai, Preyai or Prerai, Tetragrammaton,
Anaphaxeton or Anepheneton, Inessenfatoal or Inessenfatall,
Pathtumon or Pathatumon, and Itemon;
that thou appearest here before this Circle to fulfil my
will in all things that seem good unto me. And if thou
be still so disobedient, and refusest still to come, I will
in the power and by the power of the name of the Supreme
and Everlasting Lord God Who created both
thee and me and all the world in six days, and what is
contained therein, Eie, Saraye, and by the power of this
name Primeumaton which commandeth the whole host
of Heaven, curse thee, and deprive thee of thine office,
joy, and place, and bind thee in the depths of the Bottomless
Pit or Abyss, there to remain unto the Day of the
Last Judgment. And I will bind thee in the Eternal
Fire, and into the Lake of Flame and of Brimstone,
unless thou comest quickly and appearest here before
this Circle to do my will. Therefore, come thou! In and
by the holy names Adonai, Zabaoth, Adonai, Amioran.
Come thou! For it is Adonai who commandest thee.

If thou hast come thus far, and yet he appeareth not,
thou mayest be sure that he is sent unto some other place
by his King, and cannot come; and if it be so, invocate
the King as here followeth, to send him. But if he do
not come still, then thou mayest be sure that he is bound
in chains in hell, and that he is not in the custody of his
King. If so, and thou still hast a desire to call him even
from thence, thou must rehearse the general curse which
is called the Spirits’ Chain.

Here followeth, therefore, the Invocation of the King:[35]
