I, God is in the flows into the angels, the angels in the heavenly bodies, the heavenly in the elements, the elements in their mixed, mingled with the sense, the meaning of place in the soul, the soul is in an animal. Went up a lamb by the mind to the senses, through the senses in a mixture, by the mingled with the elements, through the elements into the heavens, by the demons or to these in the angels, by reason of these in God, or in the divine workings.
2. Thus, of God or of the descent is from God throughout the world, to an animal, and animals throughout the world, is the raising up to God; "God is in the tops of the ladder, cabalisticus to Jacob for a root, and the foundation of that; middle steps of creatures, according to his numbers the height of the ladder, so for a worker by whom the virtues of the superior go down to the lower parts and the infernal, climb to the heights, because of the ascent and descent by the departure of two of the gates and the entry of Cancer and Capricorn (one of which is of the Gods it is said, and the other of men) are designated by the ancient authors, of deep philosophy.

The first of these is on the worship of either for the Honour; the second is the observance and the dispensation of the season, and also of the figures, the number, the seals, by reason of the characters and his ring, the third of these affairs, the quality of, in logic, the application of; the property of and order.

A threefold "Therefore the existence of this faculty that the nerves which since it is in complete and perfect, is the most powerful to all and to all the joint, ligaments and confirm the most effective in the solution, in place of which is understood to have said the wisest of the Hebrews among the Cabalista 'a threefold cord is not easily broken'. First, then, the lot of the invocation of an appeal, and of the mind towards the direction of the heavenly virtues; of us incapable of For, just as the artificers, the matter is not without the borrowed from natural things, and their influence and power obtained from things magical or, shall we be able to effect any thing at any time. The first place, therefore, the foundations of all the union, by which superior powers, or that we are subject are joined to, or united with one another is good faith and the belief, the way in which I have not come into force it is necessary to them that work for us, but also in those receiving the A.

If for these lower things are mixed and partial it and are the life of the soul, why should not the universe itself, from which these things are as f. ... produced a kind of, the body of more noble and more, even more primary, than it is the sole of, a tree? For why do we deny the earth and the water to live, which is of the him innumerable plants and animals in generating, animate, nourish and they heap? Out how a non-living life? How the soul of living, can not advance living? And he says Theophrastus must be deemed not to be a philosopher, one who doubts that the heavenly bodies to live and to be living beings, living beings, I say, a rational soul, as to a perpetual order among themselves conspire his own is clear and bring forth the reason of the work. Should, therefore, in the land of the reason for earthly goods, the moon in the Lunar, the roof in the sun, and that this soul is not cast out, of the soul of the body similar to it, but understanding and to be with his body, one of the gods, to effect, which is much better than he has of his acts in the reasons, which we, of our of the bodies; fitting that it should more perfectly the more perfect the body of the soul is informed. unum monochordum constituit et universalem harmoniam per Apollinis lyram decantatam.">Were the emotions he the most perfect, regulatissimus, in order most, not a wanderer pervagans and in turn, the choices to what is best the way of the tenant the end, where the mind is perfect does not vary with the bodies counsel, and the others even by one

The second TRACTATVS
25. In addition to what has been said, must take note that all things in number, and in a certain measure of the times, places and things should be treated with be examined by. For the time of presides over the disposal of temporal things and it contains them, just as from the lower parts of the higher bodies are contained; where from the thing it is time we thought that the in the first heaven the ancients. For that reason it must be noted a general way, that the effect of ioviales under the open sky and the Saturnalia was under Saturn, Martial under Mars, and by them well-disposed, and in heaven, happily situate are aiming, when without the observance of the none of the other machine, and there are no voices, no worship any thing they can be valid; the same as it shall be done as if for who in the time not by his own corn toss, with different seeds of attention is due to different times, that just as it is in one, so there is in all things. But what then? Is it not certain we see also religion, the worship of art and diverse ..... be certain and at different times to address? For the time of which is manifold diversity. " This has had the planets ever and their own, their years, their ages, Lunations and for days and hours; so that in place and a lot of things to endure the perpetual of the Lord, the revolutions, considered as never for so long a lordships of the lesser, for the less illustrious ladies of the revolutions of days, for the common also to the the persons of the particular standards of the hours are masters of the one must adverted to, which three times in the day of the natural can be contacted. And of these the us is to be considered in the present In as much as the effect, which to a change in the laws, is the principal and of the things from the general causes of things happen, at random, and threaten in vain from us.
Ownership of the hours.
It must be noted, therefore, no matter how much any part of the day of a lengthy, or the brief, just as any part of the night and no matter how much a lengthy and brief, they divided into 12 equal parts, which are called 12 for that hour, and which should be of an hour are called unequal, because, according to the decrease in augumentum and ancestors of the nights of days and they are made, and the smaller, and as it were, of the clocks are not equal hours, which, once a year and scarce can have once been 12. But, omitting all in equal hours, they are not level to be punished with us, which with the individual their contents are 15 degrees of alarm, so that for six signs, which in any given day to run through the in touch with the horizon, the hours of 12 planetales contain, the first of which is taken from the east and the completion of the twelfth of that part of one day, which the planet belongs to him, who gives a name to such a day, to whom succeeds the other the planet according to the order of the spheres; For after this cometh to Venus, Mercury, the Moon, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun to Mars, Venus, etc. to the Sun.
The observance of the are in heaven.
Yea, though sometimes the natural power of the proportion of the composite acts physical, and conveniently, however, the observation of many of the heavenly more and greater works than to render it as, etc. (Agrippa, p. 250) --. In the 28 houses of which the much hidden secrets of wisdom, to do the works of the ancient world under the wonderful things of the moon, each of which his own idols, and attributed the images, and the seals and the presiding * * *; one of whom is with the mode of of the Trojans of Babylon raised, and we have brought them most faithfully practice of my memory to have out of the book by applying from the shadow of ideas.
With regard to virtues and action is

Third TRACTATVS
26. In the application of active and passive elements are to be considered the first of the elements of nature and the properties of, by considering, I say, and may be pure as the sum, to obtain a corruptible, more and less, as that is in all things to all they do, that the things which are purified by art, and are reduced to the simplicity of that the things which in the accomplishment of the different kinds of is composed, that the things which may very well be a pure and impure no matter how composed by countless degrees of an innumerable multitude of providing, for certain species are produced in fixed order, through those very ligationes all, the solutions to, the transformation of, predictions, a destruction of the good and the reconciliation of evil men. Their knowledge and keenness of scent about the same [is] the foundation of the magic to keep the whole.
Of the fire; power,
nor not on earth, water and the air.
Fire activissimus penetrates all things of all, etc. (Agrippa, p. 7). 2 kinds of compounds are to be considered in what manner they are being distributed in the four supposed etc. (P. 16) - 3 by considering the ordering that the element of this is used to the heavens, to be referred, as etc. (P. 18). 4 are to be considered the virtues which are from the elements, etc. depend on the next.

(P. 21). Nor is it our purpose to consider whence and how those other virtues that are infused hidden, for indeed, do we prove that the fable of the stars many of the rays of the case of the Ideas and soul of the world about the types of interrupt; is sufficient to know how a variety of species of the same species and the different individuals of different equipments, and the influx of diverse dispositions, they may receive. 6 One must consider, as well as the investigation of the virtues of things and to make experience etc. are wont to be, and they can. 7 One must consider the friendship of the case and of things, etc. (P. 33) - Also a certain one are present in the whole of substance, subject to them to a kind of certain particles, etc., and members of the. (P. 39) 8 is in things we should consider the lower parts, whereby the superior and to explain subject to, diverse things are subject to the difference: for different, as different members of the diverse exercise of bodies, the stars of different ways and signs refer to different things. And the induction of by the learned, is take up the astronomers, who use, which the arts that the particles, who in spirit, who tastes, the stones, which plants, which accord with the planets and the creatures are those whose signs belong. In like manner, concerning the generations and the provinces, kingdoms and nations, was. 9 be considered the seals and characters of natural things; etc. is carried. (P. 59). 10 out of the things of nature, we should consider, to whom, and at all of the heavenly bodies of higher and an influx of all the virtues, and to attract more powerful than he won, etc. (P. 62) - For it is not successes were enough to, in his ability and power to have the power of certain, but it is required, so that they concealed by a certain body and an accident, just as crippled by the bruises in a grain of mustard seed, etc., is excited Sharpen the hidden. 11 be considered and opportunity for profit is, which is in the mingling of natural things, etc. (P. 63). 12 One must consider the sublunaria all things celestial in a certain manner to be above the moon, etc. (P. 66-69) - 13 must refer to the things which are said to bind; to do in the love, the hate, etc. (P. 70) - On the magic arts, we see that many go out and admired the, in like manner of incense or out of the suffumigationibus etc.. (P. 76). 14 We must note, also for the consideration of the general that "some of the incense are referred to the Sun and the Solar, etc. (P. 79) -
27. Another kind of the incense. Moreover, they are referred to Saturn, the roots of all the scents, as costmary of frankincense, and grass, etc.. Of Clothinge and 12 of the signs. We find in 12 the signs of his incense of their own, etc. The ram myrrh. The seven chosen for the incense, and the most powerful of the seven planets. It receives the most powerful etc. Hermes fumigation of it. (P. 80) and the anointing of 15 and with an eye salve philtres (p. 80 sq.) - About the binding and the suspensions of. 16 insulted by the more in the suspensions of the binding and the neck, etc. (P. 83).

18. Of the signet ring. 19 certain laws to the rings he does not despise superstition, magic, etc. (P. 84).
29. 20 skill of bewitchment etc. It must be observed. (P. 90).
Albert the general doctrine.
Omitting the very things which they do to the practice of enigmas, are to be gathered of the emperor, which is taken chiefly Alberto and more in this science, approved, of which sort are several; the first of which this science that it is no good, by the authoritie philosophers all knowledge of him who wills to be of the kind of goods, but if it which are on account of her of a just cause to complain, of us, themselves, not by the knowledge set out for, etc. (Cf. Albert., P. 127 sq.) 2 In regard to mode of action, as he himself says, he is good may look down upon the effect of the good, evil But the evil of the planet, that is, the hours of their day is, and (p. 136). 3 On the seven herbs, the choicest of those who have the influence of the seven planets, etc. The first of these is of Saturn, who is said to Asphodelus (p. 136). 4 Of the virtues of the stones. The first of these is the magnet, etc. (P. 141) - Of the 5 animals by the virtue, of which the certain he adduces as it were, etc due to the increase. (P. 164) 6 of the times of the stars and the planets and the demesne, as mentioned above. 7 The Effects of wherever the envoys of the planets belonging. For he says life to be under the Saturn, etc. (P. 167). 8 That those things which are seen in the characters, enchantments, magic arts, and also with words of a very great example, vile things it seems impossible for things which do not have a cause of a sufficient, do not therefore despised (p. 170). 9 That which, in the minds of men is the power of affecting thing etc. (P. 171) - Among these is the perfectly evident that, that not all who are skilled in the theory of this art, and are possessed of reason, to have the use of conveniently they can, such as to be present with the ignorant and the fools is wont to, who with his power, and of the effectiveness of either that no less is the reason. 10 What are the hours, etc to be observed. (P. 13 sq.) 11 is that the craftsmen of the characters from the mind of having the efficacy of the desire of desires in which the hail had etc.. (P. 174). 12 That it should be noted concerning the things, that by the notion and form of them all should bow to subject to themselves and etc.. (P. 176). 13 What is said of the impact and the inclination alike in all ways to its like, etc. (P. 178). 14 that every thing is full of mirabilitate etc.. (P. 180). 15 That it is not a pure should be believed the whole of the astronomer to the sky, he told mirabilitatem etc.. (P. 181). 16 was marvelously according to their various modes of can be to go out from the reality, and by the heavenly virtues, etc. (P. 183). 17 That it must be noted is of things for whose they are, and disposal of units of the quality and of a property, etc. (P. 184).
These are services which contain more the nature of the whole, in which man that is wise, and to the prudent is the only suffice for them, it was decided, nor had brought the rest of these examples, and the particular, in which some are occupied, since she does not have a reason nothing of these things they can serve and that in vain are attempted. Further, this the one who understands itself and in their consideration of profundanti, not only these things, and the same, but, and the like, and in greater and more accessible to are the greatest. If any one should think of us, therefore, does not have brought the art of a complete, and all of others which is of the pursuits that lead to the complement of the knowledge, the only superfluous as passing over the others, not aggregasse, know that it is his own lacking of judgment, and the weakness of the mind, because for the receiving of these and other less from heaven he became, is a suitable. If those who seem to inscripsisse the books of our ancestors, that was because the the strange to the thing they carry out very much less than she hath mingled, perhaps to the art of ACCESSIBLY less than we do what we have done have been able to.
