The Seventeenth Spirit is Botis, a Great President, and an Earl.
He appeareth at the first show in the form of an ugly Viper, then
at the command of the Magician he putteth on a Human shape with
Great Teeth, and two Horns, carrying a bright and sharp Sword in
his hand. He telleth all things Past, and to Come, and reconcileth
Friends and Foes. He ruleth over 60 Legions of Spirits, and this
is his Seal, etc.
