A09402	A discourse of the damned art of witchcraft so farre forth as it is reuealed in the Scriptures, and manifest by true experience. Framed and deliuered by M. William Perkins, in his ordinarie course of preaching, and now published by Tho. Pickering Batchelour of Diuinitie, and minister of Finchingfield in Essex. Whereunto is adioyned a twofold table; one of the order and heades of the treatise; another of the texts of Scripture explaned, or vindicated from the corrupt interpretation of the aduersarie.

of_o christ_n break_v for_o we_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o every_o creature_n if_o the_o effect_n be_v ordinary_a and_o natural_a it_o have_v it_o by_o creation_n if_o extraordinary_a and_o

of_o set_a word_n and_o syllable_n have_v no_o power_n in_o they_o to_o work_v wonder_n either_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o creation_n or_o by_o god_n appointment_n since_o the_o creation_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v in_o they_o no_o power_n at_o all_o for_o any_o such_o purpose_n this_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o assumption_n or_o application_n of_o the_o ground_n to_o the_o present_a instance_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n which_o i_o will_v prove_v in_o order_n first_o then_o i_o affirm_v that_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o nature_n no_o word_n of_o

frame_v by_o the_o tongue_n of_o the_o breath_n that_o come_v from_o the_o lung_n and_o that_o which_o be_v only_o a_o bare_a sound_n in_o all_o reason_n can_v have_v no_o virtue_n in_o it_o to_o cause_v a_o real_a work_n much_o less_o to_o produce_v a_o wonder_n the_o sound_n of_o bell_n and_o of_o many_o musical_a instrument_n and_o the_o voice_n of_o many_o bruit_n creature_n be_v fartr_n more_o strong_a and_o powerful_a than_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o man_n yet_o who_o know_v not_o that_o none_o of_o all_o these_o be_v available_a to_o such_o purpose_n indeed_o they_o have_v power_n to_o affect_v the_o mind_n by_o their_o sweetness_n or_o otherwise_o but_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bring_v to_o pass_v a_o real_a work_n either_o by_o the_o inflict_a of_o hurt_n and_o harm_n or_o by_o the_o procure_n of_o good_a i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n by_o nature_n have_v no_o power_n to_o work_v any_o wonder_n ii_o again_o every_o thing_n which_o hurt_v or_o affect_v another_o must_v necessary_o touch_v the_o thing_n which_o it_o hurt_v or_o affect_v for_o it_o be_v a_o grant_v rule_n in_o nature_n that_o every_o agent_n work_v upon_o the_o

of_o touch_v a_o substance_n which_o they_o can_v have_v yet_o of_o themselves_o they_o be_v not_o available_a to_o bring_v upon_o thing_n absent_a either_o good_a or_o evil_n iii_o moreover_o if_o word_n conceive_v in_o charm_n and_o spell_n have_v any_o such_o power_n as_o be_v pretend_v why_o shall_v not_o every_o word_n that_o any_o man_n speak_v have_v the_o same_o power_n inasmuch_o as_o

by_o another_o man_n that_o be_v no_o enchanter_n make_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o nothing_o be_v effect_v by_o it_o iv._o that_o which_o be_v in_o nature_n nothing_o but_o a_o ba●e_a signification_n can_v serve_v to_o work_v a_o wonder_n and_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o words●_n for_o as_o they_o be_v frame_v of_o man_n breath_n they_o be_v natural_a but_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o

for_o the_o first_o signification_n of_o word_n depend_v upon_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o man_n that_o frame_v and_o invent_v they_o be_v therefore_o invent_v only_o to_o show_v or_o

former_a part_n of_o the_o assumption_n be_v clear_v in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o affirm_v that_o the_o word_n of_o charmer_n have_v not_o this_o power_n in_o they_o by_o any_o special_a gift_n blessing_n or_o appointment_n of_o god_n since_o the_o creation_n which_o be_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o assumption_n and_o i_o show_v it_o thus_o whatsoever_o be_v powerful_a and_o effectual_a to_o any_o end_n or_o purpose_n by_o god_n gift_n blessing_n or_o appointment_n the_o same_o be_v command_v in_o his_o word_n to_o be_v use_v and_o have_v also_o a_o promise_n of_o blessing_n annex_v to_o the_o right_a use_n thereof_o to_o use_v the_o instance_n before_o make_v for_o explanation_n sake_n the_o bread_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n have_v this_o power_n and_o property_n give_v it_o by_o christ_n to_o seal_v &_o signify_v unto_o every_o believe_a receiver_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o this_o property_n give_v it_o it_o be_v a●eileable_a to_o this_o purpose_n though_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n above_o the_o common_a and_o natural_a use_n of_o bread_n &_o thereupon_o we_o have_v warrant_n from_o christ_n own_o commandment_n ordinance_n and_o example_n so_o to_o use_v it_o but_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a commandment_n to_o use_v the_o word_n of_o charm_n for_o the_o effect_n of_o wonder_n much_o less_o the_o like_a promise_n of_o blessing_n upon_o the_o same_o so_o use_v therefore_o the_o conclusion_n be_v that_o god_n have_v give_v no_o such_o power_n unto_o they_o in_o special_a if_o it_o be_v ask_v then_o what_o they_o be_v and_o whereto_o they_o serve_v i_o answer_n they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o devil_n sacrament_n and_o watchword_n to_o cause_v he_o to_o do_v some_o strange_a work_n for_o the_o enchanter_n have_v relation_n in_o his_o mind_n to_o the_o devil_n who_o help_n he_o have_v at_o hand_n by_o covenant_n either_o open_a or_o secret_a or_o at_o least_o some_o

be_v nothing_o but_o the_o representation_n of_o some_o thing_n in_o the_o mind_n by_o conceit_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o person_n of_o cesar_n be_v nothing_o hurt_v though_o his_o image_n be_v
