A55588	The power of vvitchcraft being a most strange but true relation of the most miraculous and wonderful deliverance of one Mr. William Harrison, of Cambden in the county of Glocester, steward to the Lady Nowel. Who was supposed to have been murthered by his own servant, and his servants mother and brother: but to the amazement of all the people that live near the said place, the truth is now brought to light; and Mr. Harrison after about two years absence is returned into his own country and place of abode in Cambden. The manner how he was bewitched away, and the manner of his safe return back again into his own countrey you shall hear in this following discourse.		1662 (1662)	Wing P3109; ESTC R221784	4,513	15

there_o be_v thousand_o of_o people_n that_o can_v witness_v and_o testify_v the_o truth_n hereof_o now_o friend_n have_v relate_v to_o you_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n here_o be_v great_a matter_n of_o wonder_n and_o astenishment_n to_o all_o people_n to_o see_v the_o wonderful_a deliverance_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v bestow_v upon_o this_o gentleman_n and_o no_o question_n but_o he_o will_v and_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o lord_n mercy_n to_o he_o we_o may_v also_o observe_v here_o how_o the_o lord_n both_o bring_v punishment_n upon_o such_o wicked_a liver_n as_o this_o woman_n and_o her_o two_o son_n be_v you_o may_v look_v but_o into_o the_o 22._o of_o exod._n 18._o there_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o suffer_v a_o witch_n to_o live_v and_o here_o we_o may_v see_v how_o just_a the_o lord_n be_v in_o his_o deal_n to_o these_o vile_a and_o wicked_a liver_n for_o soon_o after_o they_o have_v commit_v the_o wicked_a fact_n on_o such_o a_o faithful_a friend_n as_o this_o mr._n harrison_n be_v who_o out_o of_o love_n and_o pity_n do_v bring_v up_o this_o boy_n and_o keep_v he_o as_o we_o may_v say_v as_o his_o own_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o this_o sad_a end_n and_o deserve_a punishment_n and_o i_o wish_v that_o it_o may_v prove_v a_o warning_n to_o all_o other_o that_o practice_n such_o devilish_a and_o horrid_a witthcraft_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o micah_n and_o the_o 12._o verse_n the_o lord_n have_v promise_v there_o that_o he_o will_v cut_v off_o witthcraft_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o soothsayer_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o be_v worse_o than_o his_o word_n but_o he_o will_v bring_v all_o such_o wicked_a offender_n to_o shameful_a end_n he_o will_v not_o only_o punish_v they_o here_o but_o hrreafter_o for_o witch_n and_o wizard_n or_o fortune-teller_n and_o the_o like_a they_o be_v such_o as_o sell_v their_o soul_n to_o the_o devil_n to_o do_v mischief_n and_o though_o the_o lord_n let_v they_o alone_o for_o a_o season_n to_o go_v on_o in_o their_o wicked_a way_n yet_o let_v they_o know_v that_o there_o will_v a_o reckon_a day_n come_v when_o they_o shall_v pay_v dear_o for_o all_o their_o folly_n o_o that_o this_o notable_a example_n of_o god_n justice_n may_v be_v a_o warn_a piece_n unto_o all_o of_o we_o of_o what_o condition_n soever_o we_o be_v and_o this_o wonderful_a example_n of_o mercy_n to_o mr._n harrison_n may_v be_v always_o fresh_a in_o our_o memory_n sure_o we_o may_v judge_v the_o lord_n deal_v by_o he_o as_o he_o do_v by_o job_n when_o the_o lord_n give_v satan_n leave_v to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v with_o he_o only_o touch_v not_o his_o life_n say_v god_n as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o job_n so_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v this_o wicked_a woman_n to_o do_v any_o hurt_n to_o his_o person_n that_o be_v to_o his_o life_n as_o we_o now_o may_v see_v although_o every_o one_o thought_n that_o he_o have_v be_v murder_v the_o lord_n can_v and_o the_o lord_n will_v restrain_v the_o power_n of_o the_o wicked_a they_o shall_v not_o always_o have_v their_o will_n though_o he_o do_v give_v they_o power_n yet_o do_v put_v a_o restraint_n upon_o they_o and_o they_o can_v go_v any_o further_a than_o he_o will_v give_v they_o leave_v what_o matter_n of_o encouragement_n be_v here_o to_o all_o that_o love_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n may_v and_o do_v suffer_v satan_n the_o great_a enemy_n of_o mankind_n to_o tempt_v his_o people_n and_o he_o do_v sometime_o let_v the_o wicked_a prevail_v so_o far_o as_o to_o have_v some_o power_n of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o do_v some_o mischief_n either_o to_o their_o body_n or_o estate_n and_o the_o like_a but_o they_o can_v hurt_v their_o soul_n for_o the_o lord_n take_v care_n of_o that_o and_o he_o will_v preserve_v they_o in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o a_o conclusion_n only_o i_o shall_v desire_v every_o one_o that_o bear_v this_o truth_n to_o consider_v of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o of_o the_o great_a mercy_n the_o lord_n have_v to_o bestow_v on_o they_o that_o deftre_n sincere_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o i_o shall_v desire_v all_o that_o hear_v of_o this_o to_o consider_v of_o it_o and_o to_o be_v careful_a of_o their_o way_n and_o to_o be_v watthful_a for_o your_o adversary_n the_o devil_n walk_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v a_o christian_a have_v need_v to_o be_v wakeful_a in_o sinful_a time_n for_o it_o may_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o any_o of_o we_o to_o be_v often_o abroad_o we_o have_v need_n to_o be_v careful_a of_o ourselves_o especial_o our_o soul_n for_o that_o may_v fall_v out_o in_o a_o moment_n to_o we_o which_o we_o nor_o any_o of_o our_o relation_n little_o think_v of_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o very_a busy_a adversary_n and_o be_v always_o a_o contrive_n and_o plot_v to_o do_v mischief_n to_o god_n people_n where_o he_o can_v set_v any_o at_o work_n he_o will_v promise_v great_a reward_n to_o they_o we_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o tempt_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o all_o this_o will_v i_o give_v thou_o say_v he_o if_o thou_o will_v fall_v down_o and_o worship_v i_o but_o he_o can_v make_v no_o approach_n upon_o christ_n but_o upon_o poor_a sinful_a man_n he_o do_v too_o too_o often_o prevail_v he_o strive_v all_o he_o can_v to_o make_v a_o christian_a forsake_v the_o way_n of_o god_n it_o be_v satan_n chief_a design_n and_o aim_v to_o tempt_v a_o christian_n to_o make_v he_o think_v evil_a of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n that_o so_o at_o length_n he_o may_v bring_v they_o to_o himself_o and_o this_o thou_o may_v assure_v thyself_o of_o that_o if_o thou_o make_v a_o contract_n with_o the_o devil_n as_o all_o such_o wicked_a creature_n do_v as_o go_v by_o the_o name_n of_o witch_n or_o conjurer_n and_o the_o like_a though_o thou_o do_v
