Pseudomonarchia Dæmonum - Tapa blanda

[Lest the monopoly of the Satanic faction remains hidden, I wanted to attach to the end of this book On the Illusions of Demons this "Pseudo monarchy of the demons," taken from the archive of the Acharontic (i.e. hellish) vassals. My intent is not to present before all people blasphemies of the bewitched kind of men who are not ashamed to call themselves magi, their curiosities, deceptions, vanity, tricks, impostures, deliriums, deceiving the mind, and obvious lies, but rather that they may be unwilling, when they can be seen in the bright light of day, to let their minds run wild (hallucinari),in this most infamous age, where the kingdom of Christ is so attacked by the immense and unpunished tyranny of those who openly perform the sacraments of Belial, who will no doubt soon receive their just reward. To whom I willingly and gladly dedicate these wasted hours, if perhaps through the immeasurable mercy of God, they might be turned around and live: This I beg them with all my soul, that they may be happy and fortunate. But lest anyone who is mildly curious, may dare to rashly imitate this proof of folly; I have omitted passages from this study, in order to render the whole work unusable. Truly this is entitled by an unstablekind of person, The Offices of the Spirits, or The Book of the Offices of the Spirits, or, the book called Solomon’s Apprentice,concerning the princes and kings of the demons, which may be coerced with divine and human virtues. But (now) to my so called Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.
