Before any person venture to use the agency of spirits, he ought to secure first himself. Let him take care to make himself a master, with an unshakeable capital, and be capable of executing every branch of the business himself before he takes a partner; otherwise he will be either cheated or abused, or, at least, disappointed of benefit. I say partnership, for no spirits will act effectually as slaves, though if not fully prepared they may be apprentices, and under absolute command and protection.

Having premised this to prevent anyone’s commencing study with the miserable view of being always indebted to others for help, instead of making it a vehicle to arrive at mastery, and be associated as a master with masters; I shall refer them for detailed principia, or leading principles of spiritual instruction, to the Aphorisms in the first tome of Arbatel of Magic.
