The fifth Spirit is Marbas. He is a Great President, and appeareth
at first in the form of a Great Lion, but afterwards, at the
request of the Master, he putteth on Human Shape. He answereth
truly of things Hidden or Secret. He causeth Diseases and cureth
them. Again, he giveth great Wisdom and Knowledge in Mechanical
Arts; and can change men into other shapes. He governeth 36
Legions of Spirits. And his Seal is this, which is to be worn as
aforesaid.
