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

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

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.
