Also available: the Theophania Publishing Edition of the Fourth
Book of Occult Philosophy by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. How
Magicians Collect vertues from the three-fold World, is declared in
these three Books. Seeing there is a three-fold World, Elementary,
Celestiall, and Intellectual, and every inferior is governed by its
superior, and receiveth the influence of the vertues thereof, so
that the very original, and chief Worker of all doth by Angels, the
Heavens, Stars, Elements, Animals, Plants, Metals, and Stones
convey from himself the vertues of his Omnipotency upon us, for
whose service he made, and created all these things: Wise men
conceive it no way irrationall that it should be possible for us to
ascend by the same degrees through each World, to the same very
originall World it self, the Maker of all things, and first Cause,
from whence all things are, and proceed; and also toenjoy not only
these vertues, which are already in the more excellent kind of
things, but also besides these, to draw new vertues from above.
Hence it is that they seek after the vertues of the Elementary
world, through the help of Physick, and Naturall Philosophy in the
various mixtions of Naturall things, then of the Celestiall world
in the Rayes, and influences thereof, according to the rules of
Astrologers, and the doctrines of Mathematicians, joyning the
Celestiall vertues to the former: Moreover, they ratifie and
confirm all these with the powers of divers Intelligencies, through
the sacred Ceremonies of Religions. The order and process of all
these I shall endeavor to deliver in these three Books: Whereof the
forst contains naturall Magick, the second Celestiall, and the
third Ceremoniall. But I know not whether it be an unpardonable
presumption in me, that I, a man of so little judgement and
learning, should in my very youth so confidently set upon a
business so difficult, so hard, and intricate as this is.
Wherefore, whatsoever things have here already, and shall afterward
be said by me, I would not have any one assent to them, nor shall I
my self, any further then they shall be approved of by the
Universall Church, and the Congregation of the Faithfull.
