Goetia - S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904)
The Twentieth Spirit is Purson, a Great King. His appearance is
comely, like a Man with a Lion’s face, carrying a cruel Viper in
his hand, and riding upon a Bear. Going before him are many
Trumpets sounding. He knoweth all things hidden, and can discover
Treasure, and tell all things Past, Present, and to Come. He can
take a Body either Human or Aërial, and answereth truly of all
Earthly things both Secret and Divine, and of the Creation of the
World. He bringeth forth good Familiars, and under his Government
there be 22 Legions of Spirits, partly of the Order of Virtues and
partly of the Order of Thrones. His Mark, Seal, or Character is
this, unto the which he oweth obedience, and which thou shalt wear
in time of action, etc.
Pseudomonarchia daemonum - Johann Wier (1583)
Purson [Pursan], alias Curson, a great king, he commeth foorth
like a man with a lions face, carrieng a most cruell viper, and
riding on a beare; and before him go alwaies trumpets, he knoweth
things hidden, and can tell all things present, past, and to come:
[he discloses hidden things,] he bewraieth treasure, he can take a
bodie either humane or aierie; he answereth truelie of all things
earthlie and secret, of the divinitie and creation of the world,
and bringeth foorth the best familiars; and there obeie him two
and twentie legions of divels, partlie of the order of vertues,
& partlie of the order of thrones.
