The explanation of the two triangles[Evidently meaning both the Hexagram and the Pentagram of Solomon. (See Figures 155 and 156.)] in the parchment.

Alpha And Omega.--Thou, O great God, Who art the beginning and the end:

Tetragrammaton.--Thou God of Almighty power, be ever present with us to guard and protect us, and let Thy Holy Spirit and presence be now and always with us:

Soluzen.--I command thee, thou Spirit of whatsoever region thou art, to come unto this circle:

Halliza.--And appear in human shape:

Bellator (or Ballaton).--And speak unto us audibly in our mother-tongue:

Bellonoy (or Bellony).--And show, and discover unto us all treasure that thou knowest of, or that is in thy keeping, and deliver it unto us quietly:

Hallii. Hra.--And answer all such questions as we may demand without any defect now at this time.

An explanation of Solomon's triangle

Anephezeton.-Thou great God of all the Heavenly Host:

Primeumaton.-Thou Who art the First and Last, let all spirits be subject unto us, and let the Spirit be bound in this triangle, which disturbs this place:

Michael.--By Thy Holy Angel Michael, until I shall discharge him.

(Here endeth this first book of the Lemegeton, which is called the Goetia)
