the al jilwah
The Al Jilwah; The Black Book of Satan Chapter 1: I was, am now, and shall have no end. I exercise dominion over all creatures and over the affairs of all who are under the protection of my image. I am ever present to help all who trust in me and call upon me in time of need. There is no place in the universe that knows not my presence.

Regarding melancholics, François Leuret advised in Fragments psychologiques sur la folie (Paris, 1834),
"Do not employ consolations, they are useless;
have no recourse to reasoning, it does not persuade;
do not be sad with melancholics, your sadness sustains theirs;
do not assume an air of gaiety with them, they are only hurt by it.
What is required is great sang-froid, and when necessary, severity. Let your reason be their rule of conduct.

A single string still vibrates in them, that of pain; have courage enough to pluck it."
