After this is a section on [[necromancy]], involving magic circles and calling upon the aforementioned four kings, names of [[Yahweh|God]], and different saints to constrain a called spirit. The instructions on necromancy are followed by a means of finding hidden treasure that is similar to the method used by [[Edward Kelley]], with spells to bind the spirit guarding the treasure. Following this is yet another means of summoning King Leraje, and then similar instructions to summon a spirit named Baron, and a spell named "an experiment of Rome," and spells to find lost items, steal items, see spirits (involving the invocation of King Arthur), and enchanting hazel rods. | After this is a section on [[necromancy]], involving magic circles and calling upon the aforementioned four kings, names of [[Yahweh|God]], and different saints to constrain a called spirit.

Hockley's manuscript starts with an initial list of eighty demons (with several duplicates), takes a small break to detail several fairies, and then lists four groups of twelve demons, most repeating spirits from the first eighty with various discrepancies. Sloane 3853 merely lists ten demons who also appear in Hockley's manuscript, and then names the demon kings of the north, south, east, and west (Leraje, Aim, Bune, and Paymon, respectively), generic spirits under them, and non-descript spirits to obtain love or treasure. [[Naberius]] appears with two other individual but sparsely detailed spirits (the first two over rhetoric and love, respectively, the last having no noted duties). Sloane 3824 lists different unsorted magical procedures, dropping names of spirits from the ''Book of Spirits'' in passing, rarely with explanation. | Hockley's manuscript starts with an initial list of eighty demons (with several duplicates), takes a small break to detail several fairies, and then lists four groups of twelve demons, most repeating spirits from the first eighty with various discrepancies. | ||
