 * Cæterum de Sacris Pentaculis, atque ſignaculis nunc dicamus. Sunt autem ipſa Pentacula tanquam ſigna quædam ſacra, à malis euentibus nos præſeruantia: & ad malorum Demonum conſtrictionem, & exterminationē, nos adiuuantia, bonoſque ſpiritus alliciētia, nobíſque conciliantia. Conſtant autem Pentacula, ex Caracteribus & Nominibus bonorum ſpirituum ſuperioris ordinis, vel ex ſacris picturis, ſacrarum literarum, ſeu reuelationum: verſiculis adaptis, vel ex figuris Geometricis, ſacrísque Dei Nominibus, ſecundum multorum rationem, inuicem compoſitis: vel ex omnibus ijs, aut eorum pluribus mixtum compoſitis.
 * But we now come to speak of the holy and sacred Pentacles and Sigils. Now these pentacles, are as it were certain holy signes preserving us from evil chances and events, and helping and assisting us to binde, exterminate, and drive away evil spirits, and alluring the good spirits, and reconciling them unto us. And these pentacles do consist either of Characters of the good spirits of the superiour order, or of sacred pictures of holy letters or revelations, with apt and fit versicles, which are composed either of Geometrical figures and holy names of God, according to the course and maner of many of them; or they are compounded of all of them, or very many of them mixt.
