find_v he_o there_o or_o a_o enemy_n or_o such_o a_o one_o as_o love_v he_o not_o but_o be_v contrary_n to_o he_o in_o all_o his_o action_n and_o meaning_n i_o think_v the_o case_n be_v too_o plain_a

by_o take_v of_o a_o strong_a poison_n then_o that_o be_v but_o try_v that_o when_o you_o will_v and_o give_v ratsbane_n to_o he_o that_o be_v poison_v with_o ratsbane_n already_o and_o you_o shall_v

as_o both_o by_o reason_n and_o your_o own_o word_n to_o he_o be_v rather_o find_v to_o be_v a_o enemy_n unto_o poison_n and_o a_o expeller_n and_o a_o conqueror_n of_o the_o same_o yea_o and_o more_o than_o so_o to_o for_o by_o your_o own_o report_n it_o leave_v the_o other_o good_a humour_n which_o be_v a_o wonder_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o clear_a and_o unspotted_a as_o your_o own_o word_n do_v

all_o this_o while_n why_o it_o shall_v come_v from_o the_o devil_n i_o hear_v no_o other_o reason_n make_v by_o you_o as_o yet_o but_o only_o because_o monardus_n the_o spaniard_n affirm_v it_o nay_o rather_o for_o that_o he_o imagine_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o my_o answer_n forsooth_o be_v this_o for_o that_o he_o do_v but_o bare_o affirm_v it_o only_o and_o for_o that_o his_o assertion_n be_v but_o conjectural_a i_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o safe_o and_o as_o easy_o reject_v as_o believe_v but_o yet_o if_o the_o circumstance_n be_v well_o consider_v that_o monardus_n himself_o put_v down_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o more_o charitable_a motion_n to_o think_v that_o it_o come_v from_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o good_a gift_n then_o from_o the_o devil_n this_o one_o thing_n i_o be_o most_o sure_a of_o that_o even_o this_o self_n same_o monardus_n who_o you_o here_o bring_v against_o he_o as_o your_o great_a proof_n have_v write_v as_o much_o good_a of_o tobacco_n as_o can_v be_v affirm_v he_o not_o only_o to_o be_v very_o good_a against_o infinite_a disease_n in_o a_o manner_n but_o also_o to_o have_v a_o singular_a gift_n to_o

that_o great_a &_o admirable_a poison_n too_o call_v bague_n how_o soever_o it_o have_v please_v you_o to_o slander_v he_o in_o your_o last_o chapter_n before_o this_o and_o in_o conclusion_n knit_v

they_o be_v draw_v up_o and_o separate_v from_o all_o gross_a and_o earthly_a cogitation_n and_o as_o it_o be_v carry_v up_o to_o a_o more_o pure_a and_o clear_a region_n of_o fine_a conceit_n &_o

those_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v who_o be_v cast_v into_o trance_n and_o exstasy_n as_o we_o be_v wont_n to_o call_v it_o have_v the_o power_n and_o gift_n thereby_o to_o see_v more_o wonder_n and_o high_a mystical_a matter_n than_o all_o they_o can_v do_v who_o brain_n &_o cogitation_n be_v oppress_v with_o the_o thick_a and_o foggy_a vapour_n of_o gross_a and_o earthy_a substance_n marry_o if_o in_o their_o trance_n &_o sudden_a fall_n they_o have_v become_v nasty_a &_o beastly_a fellow_n or_o have_v in_o most_o loathsome_a manner_n fall_v a_o spue_a and_o vomit_v as_o drunkard_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v then_o indeed_o it_o may_v well_o have_v be_v count_v a_o devilish_a matter_n and_o be_v worthy_a reprehension_n but_o be_v use_v to_o clear_v the_o brain_n and_o thereby_o make_v the_o mind_n more_o able_a to_o come_v to_o herself_o and_o the_o better_a to_o exercise_v her_o heavenly_a gift_n and_o virtue_n i_o think_v as_o i_o have_v say_v i_o see_v more_o

that_o be_v the_o priest_n fault_n and_o to_o be_v ascribe_v unto_o they_o and_o no_o whit_n to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o thing_n now_o sir_n by_o the_o way_n whether_o those_o priest_n do_v serve_v
