The first image makes men invincible and honourable, helps bring business to a good end, drives away vain dreams, and is held to prevail against fevers and the plague. The second makes a man fortunate, rich and beloved of all, and a version of it on cornelian is used against the lunatic passions that follow the Moon's combustion. The two together are the solar programme: victory in the world and health in the body.
A king crowned and seated in a chair, a raven in his bosom and a globe under his feet, clothed in saffron, made in the hour of the Sun with the first face of Leo ascending, in a balanite stone or a ruby while the Sun is in his exaltation; it renders men invincible and honourable, brings their business to a good end, drives off vain dreams, and prevails against fevers and the plague. A second: a crowned woman dancing and laughing, standing in a chariot drawn by four horses, a looking glass or buckler in her right hand and a staff in her left leaning on her breast, a flame of fire on her head, made in a diamond, to make a man fortunate, rich and beloved; a form of it is cut in cornelian against lunatic passions.
