As also, the seuerall stratagems of Sathan, ensnaring the poore soule by this desperate practize of annoying the bodie: with the seuerall vses therof to the Church of Christ.

though_o the_o simple_a people_n be_v utter_o ignorant_a thereof_o yet_o see_v the_o witch_n in_o malice_n intend_v the_o hurt_n of_o her_o neighbour_n and_o to_o this_o end_n set_v satan_n on_o

matter_n be_v that_o she_o must_v give_v herself_o unto_o he_o body_n and_o soul_n but_o this_o be_v colour_v first_o by_o the_o time_n he_o will_v not_o have_v it_o present_o because_o yet_o she_o have_v not_o make_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o her_o sin_n and_o therein_o he_o deceive_v she_o that_o she_o may_v repent_v of_o her_o bargain_n god_n may_v change_v her_o mind_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o drown_v in_o security_n and_o to_o this_o end_n he_o have_v another_o colour_n that_o be_v the_o condition_n if_o he_o perform_v faithful_a service_n and_o therefore_o note_n he_o will_v of_o purpose_n fail_v she_o sometime_o that_o so_o she_o may_v hope_v herself_o free_a yea_o he_o do_v usual_o leave_v she_o when_o authority_n arrest_v to_o bring_v she_o to_o confusion_n that_o so_o now_o she_o may_v shame_v the_o devil_n as_o we_o say_v and_o so_o perform_v some_o hypocritical_a repentance_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o observe_v i_o pray_v you_o his_o deepness_n in_o make_v her_o sure_a namely_o to_o prevent_v after_o repentance_n or_o at_o least_o to_o deceive_v thereby_o chap._n vi_o of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o covenant_n he_o have_v further_o diverse_a ceremony_n

unto_o his_o obedience_n namely_o the_o seal_n of_o baptism_n rom._n 4._o so_o when_o satan_n have_v once_o obtain_v this_o absolute_a promise_n of_o his_o prentice_n to_o yield_v themselves_o whole_o to_o his_o devotion_n than_o his_o manner_n be_v to_o set_v his_o seal_n upon_o they_o thereby_o to_o appropriate_v they_o unto_o he_o and_o this_o be_v common_o some_o sure_a mark_n upon_o some_o

howsoever_o it_o be_v pinch_v by_o any_o to_o assure_v they_o thereby_o that_o as_o therein_o he_o can_v hurt_v or_o heal_v they_o so_o all_o their_o ill_a and_o well-doing_n must_v depend_v whole_o upon_o he_o and_o that_o the_o intolerable_a grief_n they_o feel_v in_o that_o place_n may_v both_o serve_v to_o seal_v up_o unto_o they_o their_o eternal_a damnation_n and_o so_o to_o awaken_v and_o
