from_o a_o divine_a impression_n these_o natural_a dream_n i_o say_v be_v of_o four_o sort_n the_o first_o depend_v upon_o the_o temperament_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o body_n other_o

bad_a angel_n will_v easy_o show_v the_o difference_n and_o it_o may_v more_o especial_o be_v make_v in_o this_o double_a respect_n 1._o the_o image_n that_o good_a angel_n do_v imprint_v upon_o the_o

cause_v by_o evil_a angel_n do_v always_o or_o at_o least_o for_o the_o most_o part_n induce_v to_o some_o evil_a action_n which_o the_o good_a one_o never_o do_v who_o as_o they_o be_v free_a from_o

be_v that_o upon_o this_o as_o upon_o other_o occasion_n these_o angel_n of_o darkness_n may_v transform_v themselves_o into_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o endeavour_v to_o impose_v upon_o the_o credulity_n of_o the_o faithful_a by_o cause_v they_o to_o have_v such_o dream_n which_o shall_v not_o seem_v to_o contain_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o vice_n we_o before_o mention_v and_o which_o shall_v tend_v to_o action_n indifferent_a in_o themselves_o or_o such_o as_o perhaps_o may_v have_v the_o appearance_n of_o good_a but_o yet_o such_o as_o they_o may_v make_v use_n of_o for_o some_o evil_a design_n and_o the_o dream_n send_v to_o joseph_n to_o command_v he_o to_o carry_v christ_n into_o egypt_n may_v serve_v for_o a_o example_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v joseph_n may_v

several_a consideration_n first_o that_o how_o great_a a_o cheat_n soever_o the_o devil_n be_v yet_o he_o can_v never_o counterfeit_v so_o well_o but_o something_o will_v happen_v whereby_o he_o may_v

the_o vision_n terrible_a and_o frightful_a whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o i_o know_v not_o i_o will_v not_o affirm_v it_o though_o it_o be_v not_o without_o some_o appearance_n of_o reason_n but_o as_o for_o what_o concern_v his_o action_n and_o the_o mean_n he_o make_v use_v of_o whereby_o to_o deceive_v man_n whether_o by_o dream_n or_o by_o voice_n or_o any_o other_o illusion_n neither_o be_v his_o own_o malice_n able_a nor_o will_v the_o divine_a providence_n suffer_v he_o so_o perfect_o to_o resemble_v the_o action_n of_o good_a angel_n but_o there_o will_v be_v some_o mark_n by_o which_o to_o discern_v they_o and_o what_o i_o say_v before_o upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o dream_n of_o the_o arcadian_a be_v found_v only_o upon_o the_o relation_n that_o cicero_n make_v of_o it_o if_o we_o have_v have_v a_o perfect_a and_o entire_a account_n thereof_o with_o all_o its_o circumstance_n one_o may_v certain_o have_v find_v something_o in_o it_o whereby_o we_o may_v
