Belial

(68.) Belial-The Sixty-eighth Spirit is Belial. They are a Mighty and a Powerful King, and were created next after LUCIFER. They appeareth in the Form of Two Beautiful Angels sitting in a Chariot of Fire. They speaketh with a Comely Voice, and declareth that they fell first from among the worthier sort, that were before Michael, and other Heavenly Angels. Their Office is to distribute Presentations and Senatorships, etc.; and to cause favour of Friends and of Foes. They giveth excellent Familiars, and governeth 50 Legions of Spirits. Note well that this King Belial must have Offerings, Sacrifices and Gifts presented unto them by the Exorcist, or else they will not give True Answers unto his Demands. But then they tarrieth not one hour in the Truth, unless they be constrained by Divine Power.
