The Lesser Key of Solomon (Goetia) 19
The Constraint
AnonymousEnglish

But if he do not come still, then thou mayest be sure that he is bound in chains in hell, and that he is not in the custody of his King. If so, and thou still hast a desire to call him even from thence, thou must rehearse the general curse which is called the Spirits’ Chain.
Here followeth, therefore, the Invocation of the King:
