A19294 Sathan transformed into an angell of light expressing his dangerous impostures vnder glorious shewes. Emplified [sic] specially in the doctrine of witchcraft, and such sleights of Satan, as are incident thereunto. Very necessary to discerne the speciplague raging in these dayes, and so to hide our selues from the snare thereof. Cooper, Thomas, fl. 1626. 1622 (1622) STC 5701.3; ESTC S116346 125,396 405

as_o confess_v that_o to_o be_v do_v by_o they_o which_o be_v do_v by_o satan_n immediate_o tell_v of_o many_o thing_n that_o be_v untrue_a yet_o do_v this_o the_o rather_o argue_v that_o they_o be_v lead_v by_o satan_n that_o he_o do_v many_o thing_n by_o their_o appointment_n for_o see_v satan_n be_v a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n therefore_o do_v he_o both_o teach_v they_o to_o lie_v 1_o that_o those_o which_o yet_o will_v depend_v on_o they_o lie_n may_v be_v more_o inexcusable_a 2_o that_o he_o may_v also_o by_o this_o mean_n make_v a_o trade_n of_o lie_v lie_v and_o he_o do_v also_o give_v they_o ocsion_n to_o lie_v unwitting_o in_o confess_v that_o to_o be_v do_v by_o they_o which_o satan_n do_v of_o himself_o that_o so_o he_o may_v hasten_v they_o to_o their_o deserve_a

of_o their_o cure_n sorcery_n and_o therefore_o neither_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o satan_n will_v conjoin_v with_o such_o holy_a mean_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v needless_a if_o these_o will_v do_v it_o to_o admit_v of_o satan_n assistance_n thereto_o to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o neither_o be_v such_o medicine_n as_o be_v apply_v usual_o fit_a for_o all_o such_o cure_n because_o common_o they_o give_v but_o one_o salve_n for_o all_o disease_n or_o if_o they_o be_v why_o may_v not_o satan_n use_v these_o to_o cloak_n and_o colour_v his_o presence_n as_o for_o prayer_n neither_o be_v they_o available_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o person_n be_v usual_o profane_a popish_a or_o ignorant_a neither_o indeed_o allowable_a to_o such_o end_n but_o where_o other_o lawful_a remedy_n may_v
