AMBROSII MAGI HORTUS ROSARUM

without show of learning, withont needless darkening of counsel and word,
dost thou ever reveal the sacred Heights of our Mystic Mountain. For,
as fot him that understandeth not thy writing, and that easily and well,
he ye well assured all that he is a vile man and a losel of little worth or
worship; a dog, an unclean swine, a worm of filth, a festering sore in
the vitals of earth : such an one is liar and murderer, debauched, drunken,
sexless, and spatulate ; an ape-dropping, a lousy, flat-backed knave: from
such an one keep ye well away! Use hath he little: ornament maketh
he nothing: let him be cast out on the dunghills beyond Jordan ; let
him pass into the S. P. P., and that utterly !
With that our Father sighed deep and laid back his reverend head,
and was silent. But from his heart came a subtle voice of tenderest fare-
well, so that we knew him well dead. But for seventy days and seventy
nights we touched him not, but abode ever about him: and the smile
changed not on his face, and the whole grove was filled with sweet and
subtle perfumes. Now on the 71st day arose there a great dispute about
tis body; for the angels and spirits and demons did contend about it,
yat they might possess it. But our eldest brother V. N. bade all be still ;
-nd thus he apportioned the sacred relics of our Father.
To the Angel Agbagal, the fore part of the skull ;
To the demon Ozoz, the back left part of the skull;
To the demon Olcot,! the back right part of the skull ;
To ten thousand myriads of spirits of fire, each one hair ;
To ten thousand myriads of spirits of water, each one hair ;
To ten thousand myriads of spirits of earth, each one hair;
To ten thousand myriads of spirits of air, each one hair ;
To the archangel Zazelazel, the brain;
To the angel Usbusolat, the medulla;
To the demon Ululomis, the right nostril ;
To the angel Opael, the left nostril ;
To the spirit Kuiphiah, the membrane of the nose ;
To the spirit Pugrah, the bridge of the nose ;
To eleven thousand spirits of spirit, the hairs of the nose, one each ;
To the archangel Tuphtuphtuphal,? the right eye ;
To the archdevil Upsusph, the left eye ;
The parts thereof in trust to be divided among their servitors; as the
right cornea, to Aphlek; the left, to Urnbal;—mighty spirits are they,
and bold!
To the archdevil Rama,’ the right ear and its parts;
To the archangel Umumatis, the left ear and its parts ;
The teeth to two-and-thirty letters of the sixfold Name: one to the air,
and fifteen to the rain and the ram, and ten to the virgin, and six to
the Bull ;
The mouth to the archangels Alalal and Bikarak, lip and lip;
The tongue to that devil of all devils Yehowou.* Ho, devil ! canst thou
speakP
