Cup that receives and bestows, generous palm garnering, scattering,
Thine are the bountiful rains, thine is the fount purpled and perilous:
Thine is dominion to cast down to the pit thine to give sanctuary--
Yea, to give liberty!
"In that which is manifest (that is to say, the body of Jupiter) the other six corporeal metals are spiritually concealed, but one more deeply and more tenaciously than another. Jupiter has nothing of a Quintessence in his composition, but is of the nature of the four elementaries. On this account his liquefaction is brought about by the application of a moderate fire, and, in like manner, he is coagulated by moderate cold. He has affinity with the liquefactions of all the other metals. For the more like he is to some nature, the more easily he is united thereto by conjunction. For the operation of those nearly allied is easier and more natural than of those which are remote.... The more remote, therefore, Jupiter is found to be from Mars and Venus, and the nearer Sol and Luna, the more "goldness" or "silveriness," if I may say so, it contains in his body, and the greater, stronger, more distinguished, and more true it is found than in some remote body... This, therefore, is a point which you, as an Alchemist, must seriously debate with yourself, how you can relegate Jupiter to a remote and abstruse place, which Sol and Luna occupy, and how, in turn, you can summon Sol and Luna from remote positions to a near place, where Jupiter is corporeally posited; so that,in the same way, Sol and Luna may also be present there corporeally before your eyes. For the transmutation of metals from imperfection to perfection there are several practical receipts. Mix the one with the other. Then again separate the one pure from the other. This is nothing else but the process of permutation, set in order by perfect alchemical labour. Note that Jupiter has much gold and not a little silver. Let Saturn and Luna be imposed on him, and of the rest Luna will be augmented."

MAGIC SQUARES" AND SIGNATURES, ACCORDING TO AGRIPPA:
The letters or Characters
Figure 18--The First Pentacle of Jupiter--This serveth to invoke the Spirits of Jupiter, and especially those whose Names are written around the Pentacle, among whom Parasiel is the Lord and Master of Treasures, and teacheth how to become possessor of places wherein they are.
Figure 19--The Second Pentacle of Jupiter.-This is proper for acquiring glory, honours, dignities, riches, and all kinds of good, together with great tranquillity of mind; also to discover Treasures and chase away the Spirits who preside over them. It should be written upon virgin paper or parchment, with the pen of the swallow and the blood of the screech-owl.
Figure 20--The third Pentacle of Jupiter--This defendeth and protecteth those who invoke and cause the spirits to come. When they appear show unto them this Pentacle, and immediately they will obey.
Figure 21.-The Fourth Pentacle of Jupiter--It serveth to acquire riches and honour, and to possess much wealth. Its Angel is Biriel. It should be engraved upon silver in the day and hour of Jupiter when he is in the Sign Cancer.
Figure 22.-The Fifth Pentacle of Jupiter--This hath great power. It serveth for assured visions. Jacob being armed with this Pentacle beheld the ladder which reached unto heaven.
Figure 23.-The Sixth Pentacle of Jupiter--It serveth for protection against all earthly dangers by regarding it each day devoutedly, and repeating the vercicle which surroundeth it. Thus shalt thou never perish.
Figure 24.--The Seventh and last Pentpde of Jupiter,--It hath great power against poverty, if thou considerest it with devotion, repeating the versicle. It serveth furthermore to drive away those Spirits who guard treasures and to discover the same.
Righteousness, magnifice, and wisdom of judgment.
Earth and sea are in his hand, the world and the Heavens;
All he doth sustain, and all in equity ruleth.
Therefore most exalted he, who nurtureth the souls that long for justice.
