Summary

The fourth book returns after a gap and intensifies the ritual-material side of the work. It includes instructions associated with the holy table, lamens, seals, and the ceremonial conditions under which Dee and Kelley are to proceed. The angels? language tends to combine practical construction details with devotional warnings that the instruments are not magical machinery in themselves but signs subordinated to divine authority.
