King James: Daemonologie (1597 First Edition)

ancients original: "entes"; completing the word "ancients" from the previous page concerning their power, he shall see it well described by Hyperius and Hemmingius Andreas Hyperius and Niels Hemming were prominent 16th-century Protestant theologians, two recent German writers. Besides these, there are innumerable other modern original: "neoterick" theologians who write at length upon that subject. And if he would like to know the specific rites and curiosities of these black arts (which is both unnecessary and dangerous), he will find them in the fourth book of Cornelius Agrippa referring to the "Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy," a famous grimoire attributed to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and in Weyer original: "VVIERVS"; referring to Johann Weyer, a physician who critiqued witch-hunts while still acknowledging the reality of demons, whom I mentioned before. And so, wishing that my efforts original: "pains" in this treatise (beloved reader) may be effective in arming all who read it against these aforementioned errors, and recommending my good will to your friendly acceptance, I bid you a hearty farewell.
