that_o they_o have_v either_o desperate_o drown_v or_o hang_v themselves_o or_o kill_v themselves_o some_o other_o way_n and_o depart_v from_o god_n their_o saviour_n have_v give_v themselves_o to_o

and_o many_o do_v think_v that_o they_o be_v the_o enchantment_n of_o the_o magician_n there_o be_v other_o who_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v they_o about_o treasure_n have_v judge_v that_o they_o be_v

thereof_o may_v be_v know_v and_o the_o true_a difference_n which_o be_v between_o the_o devil_n and_o these_o semi-homines_a the_o devil_n have_v not_o any_o body_n unless_o he_o take_v any_o thing_n to_o himself_o from_o the_o four_o element_n for_o he_o have_v neither_o flesh_n nor_o blood_n he_o remain_v perpetual_a not_o subject_a to_o any_o infirmity_n or_o a_o finite_a death_n wherefore_o he_o die_v nor_o but_o the_o pigmy_n do_v nevertheless_o they_o be_v both_o subject_n to_o a_o natural_a and_o everlasting_a death_n and_o be_v both_o deprive_v of_o everlasting_a life_n wherefore_o whosoever_o give_v or_o subscribe_v himself_o unto_o they_o the_o same_o event_n happen_v unto_o he_o as_o to_o they_o let_v every_o one_o therefore_o have_v a_o special_a care_n unto_o himself_o and_o consider_v well_o what_o he_o do_v before_o he_o subscribe_v himself_o for_o he_o sudden_o do_v that_o whereby_o he_o shall_v always_o be_v compel_v to_o be_v obedient_a unto_o they_o and_o to_o

his_o life_n there_o have_v be_v find_v many_o example_n of_o this_o kind_n to_o wit_n sometime_o man_n have_v be_v find_v dead_a their_o neck_n turn_v about_o or_o otherwise_o miserable_o handle_v where_o any_o such_o thing_n have_v happen_v it_o have_v hitherto_o common_o be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v do_v this_o for_o this_o cause_n either_o that_o the_o man_n have_v not_o keep_v

reward_n but_o these_o opinion_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o fountain_n of_o truth_n for_o the_o office_n of_o the_o devil_n contain_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o his_o power_n but_o rather_o he_o sugge_v unto_o man_n evil_a thought_n and_o cogitation_n whereby_o he_o draw_v they_o away_o from_o obey_v the_o will_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n by_o which_o mean_n he_o make_v they_o to_o be_v the_o great_a sinner_n and_o to_o forget_v and_o deny_v god_n their_o creator_n and_o afterward_o draw_v they_o into_o despair_n so_o that_o they_o can_v any_o more_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v unto_o god_n wherefore_o the_o elementary_a spirit_n be_v most_o like_a unto_o the_o devil_n and_o oftentimes_o they_o be_v executioner_n of_o the_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o they_o do_v oftentimes_o also_o admonish_v and_o warn_v we_o and_o do_v watch_n over_o we_o and_o defend_v we_o from_o many_o danger_n and_o sometime_o do_v deliver_v some_o from_o prison_n and_o afford_v to_o man_n many_o other_o help_v wherefore_o such_o man_n as_o be_v burden_v and_o overwhelm_v with_o grief_n and_o sorrowful_a imagination_n be_v not_o to_o be_v leave_v alone_o but_o aught_o to_o be_v entertain_v with_o various_a and_o pleasant_a discourse_n which_o may_v delight_v their_o mind_n and_o expel_v their_o sorrow_n the_o devil_n likewise_o be_v in_o these_o case_n not_o idle_a but_o as_o busy_a as_o those_o terrene_a spirit_n &_o do_v easy_o tempt_v such_o kind_n of_o man_n from_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o some_o people_n especial_o woman_n in_o childbed_n
