A69640	An history of apparitions, oracles, prophecies, and predictions with dreams, visions, and revelations and the cunning delusions of the devil, to strengthen the idolatry of the gentiles, and the worshipping of saints departed : with the doctrine of purgatory, a work very seasonable, for discovering the impostures and religious cheats of these times / collected out of sundry authours of great credit, and delivered into English from their several originals by T.B. ; whereunto is annexed, a learned treatise, confuting the opinions of the Sadduces and Epicures, (denying the appearing of angels and devils to men) with the arguments of those that deny that angels and devils can assume bodily shapes ; written in French, and now rendred into English ; with a table to the whole work.

fable_n of_o the_o poet_n who_o of_o a_o dead_a body_n make_v the_o abstraction_n of_o a_o shadow_n which_o they_o call_v the_o image_n and_o idol_n thereof_o as_o be_v affirm_v both_o by_o sergius_n
