"
Alii damones malos virtute divinorum nominum adjuratos, advocare solent, atque hæc
est illa Necromantiæ species quæ dicitur malefica: vel in Theurgiam, quæ quasi bonis
Angelis, divinoque numine regitur (ut nonnulli putant) cum sapissime tamen sub Dei, et
Angelorum nominibus malis Dæmnoun illusionibus peragitur
