For it <strong>is</strong> written in <strong>the</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Enoch that 'Azazel taughtmen to make swords, <strong>an</strong>d knives, <strong>an</strong>d shields, <strong>an</strong>d breastplates, <strong>an</strong>d made known to <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> metals<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> art <strong>of</strong> working <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>an</strong>d bracelets, <strong>an</strong>d ornaments, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>an</strong>timony, <strong>an</strong>d<strong>the</strong> beautifying <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eyelids, <strong>an</strong>d all kinds <strong>of</strong> costly stones, <strong>an</strong>d all colouring tinctures'.
