a Duke called Agreas, or Agares.
He is under the Power of the East, and
cometh up in the
form of an old fair Man, riding upon a Crocodile,
carrying a Goshawk upon his fist, and yet
mild in

appearance. He maketh
them to run
that stand

still, and bringeth back
runaways. He teaches
all

Languages or Tongues presently. He hath
power

also to destroy Dignities
both Spiritual
and

Temporal, and causeth Earthquakes.
He was of

the Order of Virtues.
He hath under his

government 31 Legions of Spirits.
