The Call or Key of the
Thirty Aethyrs
O you heuens which dwell in the First Ayre, the mightie in the partes
of the Erth, and execute the Iudgment of the Highest! To you it is
sayd, Beholde the face of your God, the begynning of cumfort, whose
eyes are the brightnes of the hevens: which prouided you for the
gouernment of the Erth and her vnspeakable varietie, furnishing you
wth a powr vnderstand to dispose all things according to the providence
of Him that sitteth on the Holy Throne, and rose vp in the begynning,
saying: the Earth let her be gouerned by her parts and let there be
diuision in her, that the glory of hir may be allwayes drunken and
vexed in it self. Her course, let it ronne wth the hevens, and as a
handmayd let her serve them. One season let it confownd an other, and
let there be no creature vppon or within her the same: all her members
let them differ in their qualities, and let there be no one creature
aequall wth an other: the reasonable Creatures of the Erth let them
vex and weede out one an other, and the dwelling places let them forget
thier names: the work of man, and his pomp, let them be defaced: his
buyldings let them become caves for the beasts of the feeld. Confownd
her vnderstanding with darknes. For why? It repenteth me I made Man.
One while let her be known and an other while a stranger: bycause she
is the bed of a Harlot, and the dwelling place of Him that is Faln. O
you heuens arrise: the lower heuens vnder neath you, let them serve
you! Gouern those that govern: cast down such as fall! Bring furth
with those that encrease, and destroy the rotten! No place let it
remayne in one number: ad and diminish vntill the stars be numbred!
Arrise, Move, and Appere before the Couenant of his mowth, which he
hath sworne vnto vs in his Iustice. Open the Mysteries of your
Creation: and make vs partakers of Vndefyled Knowledg.
