all_o thing_n which_o witch_n think_v they_o do_v be_v mere_a dream_n and_o phantasm_n and_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o fancy_n of_o witch_n be_v only_o delude_v by_o the_o devil_n 5._o so_o that_o

controversy_n in_o short_a we_o must_v do_v it_o by_o some_o conclusion_n the_o first_o be_v it_o be_v the_o witch_n purpose_v to_o hurt_v man_n by_o disease_n and_o many_o man_n have_v be_v so_o hurt_v the_o history_n in_o chap._n 3._o prove_v this_o conclusion_n and_o sprengerus_n have_v many_o more_o in_o his_o hammer_n against_o witch_n and_o though_o vuierus_n take_v these_o for_o fable_n yet_o history_n be_v not_o so_o rash_o to_o be_v delude_v that_o the_o witch_n do_v act_v therein_o be_v manifest_a because_o the_o instrument_n of_o witchcraft_n be_v take_v away_o or_o the_o witch_n burn_v or_o dead_a the_o patient_n grow_v sound_a and_o the_o charm_n cease_v the_o second_o conclusion_n although_o witch_n determine_v to_o hurt_v man_n yet_o neither_o do_v it_o nor_o can_v they_o do_v it_o the_o witch_n be_v not_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o such_o operation_n but_o the_o devil_n the_o witch_n be_v his_o work-fellow_n at_o who_o request_n by_o god_n permission_n he_o afflict_v man_n with_o such_o disease_n therefore_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o witch_n must_v agree_v to_o cause_n witchcraft_n formal_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o devil_n may_v in_o dream_n suggest_v what_o the_o witch_n may_v think_v true_a when_o awake_a as_o appear_v by_o many_o history_n in_o baptista_n porta_fw-la and_o vuierus_n as_o that_o of_o a_o woman_n which_o anoint_v herself_o and_o sleep_v

yet_o affirm_v that_o they_o do_v wonder_n in_o strange_a place_n moreover_o it_o be_v please_v to_o the_o devil_n to_o have_v witch_n obedient_a to_o he_o and_o he_o persuade_v they_o that_o they_o may_v do_v good_a or_o hurt_n to_o who_o they_o please_v to_o this_o end_n he_o give_v they_o instrument_n as_o powder_n which_o may_v cause_v disease_n or_o death_n by_o put_v they_o into_o meat_n or_o drink_n or_o rub_v their_o body_n therewith_o which_o if_o they_o can_v do_v it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o sprinkle_v they_o only_o upon_o their_o clothes_n to_o kill_v it_o be_v a_o black_a
