Table I- 20 March 1582.

This table is really simple cipher which contains straight up, the names of commonly known angels. The table was given to Kelley through the shewstone as such:

Z l l R H i a

a Z C a a c b

p a u p n h r

h d m h i a i

k k a a e e e

i i e e l l l

e e l l M G †

Which, when read vertically from the top left hand corner gives the names: Zaphkiel, Zadkiel, Cumael, Raphael, Haniel, Michael and Gabriel, with a cruciform in the final square. All of these names were contained in the works of Henry Cornelius Agrippa or Peter d'Abano, which Dee noted in the margin. This was also a simple ciphering technique which was around at the time of Dee. At one stage he even spoke of such ciphers being able to be cracked by men of low intellect!

These lines- horizontally, appear agin in the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, in the outer heptagon.
