peripatetic_n the_o peripatetic_n do_v yet_o insist_v further_o upon_o the_o puissance_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o they_o say_v that_o every_o natural_a agent_n work_v upon_o divers_a object_n do_v

either_o burn_v or_o bend_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o these_o operation_n have_v a_o certain_a similitude_n from_o the_o part_n of_o the_o agent_n for_o if_o one_o be_v a_o far_o off_o do_v

likewise_o wherefore_o the_o heaven_n be_v a_o natural_a agent_n and_o have_v many_o thing_n near_o adjoin_v unto_o it_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o it_o must_v work_v many_o effect_n of_o the_o which_o the_o one_o be_v particular_o the_o certain_a sign_n of_o the_o other_o albeit_o many_o of_o they_o do_v never_o take_v effect_n nor_o can_v be_v know_v what_o they_o be_v and_o forasmuch_o

must_v of_o necessity_n be_v admirable_a because_o in_o nature_n the_o cause_n be_v ever_o answerable_a to_o the_o effect_n it_o be_v therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o the_o heaven_n do_v produce_v

soon_o answer_v in_o two_o word_n that_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o heaven_n do_v work_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n many_o thing_n that_o be_v strange_a and_o admirable_a and_o yet_o such_o

effect_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o easy_o all_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o peripatetic_n be_v refute_v and_o overthrow_v how_o strong_a soever_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v make_v to_o prove_v such_o

hold_v to_o be_v principal_o of_o and_o by_o the_o devil_n therefore_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o at_o all_o but_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o false_a thing_n to_o this_o argument_n i_o answer_v that_o true_a it_o be_v that_o magic_a be_v a_o vain_a science_n and_o prohibit_v argnment_n answer_v to_o their_o first_o argnment_n that_o the_o effect_n thereof_o be_v full_a of_o abuse_n and_o scandalous_a

second_o argument_n their_o second_o argument_n be_v that_o if_o there_o be_v devil_n than_o they_o have_v a_o soul_n and_o member_n necessary_a to_o execute_v and_o perform_v the_o function_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o we_o see_v in_o live_a creature_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o thing_n shall_v consist_v and_o be_v the_o devil_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v a_o more_o solid_a and_o

this_o argument_n be_v of_o no_o source_n for_o i_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a the_o devil_n shall_v have_v a_o body_n and_o admit_v they_o do_v make_v a_o show_n of_o one_o when_o they_o

unto_o they_o a_o body_n of_o a_o airy_a subtle_a and_o thin_a substance_n argument_n their_o three_o argument_n their_o three_o argument_n be_v that_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v there_o be_v
