and_o then_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o many_o of_o these_o sorcerer_n can_v dream_v because_o their_o devil_n be_v employ_v in_o more_o diabolical_a negotiation_n and_o use_v therein_o both_o their_o art_n and_o apprehension_n beside_o the_o devil_n may_v stir_v the_o fantasy_n of_o a_o man_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o temptation_n which_o he_o present_v before_o we_o m_o and_o as_o
