to_o pursue_v that_o which_o seem_v good_a and_o fly_v from_o that_o which_o seem_v evil_a unto_o they_o but_o the_o inbred_a notion_n that_o every_o man_n have_v of_o the_o devil_n be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n and_o destroyer_n of_o mankind_n therefore_o every_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a aversion_n from_o he_o and_o consequent_o can_v formal_o worship_v he_o as_o such_o because_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n must_v be_v esteem_v to_o be_v propitious_a and_o placable_a by_o the_o worshipper_n otherwise_o if_o fear_v alone_o be_v the_o adequate_a cause_n of_o adoration_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o devil_n and_o damn_a in_o hell_n do_v worship_n god_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n which_o faith_n they_o blaspheme_v because_o of_o their_o pain_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o who_o worship_v the_o devil_n must_v have_v change_v the_o innate_a idea_n that_o they_o have_v of_o he_o viz._n that_o he_o be_v a_o in_o placable_a worrier_n of_o man_n and_o take_v he_o to_o be_v benign_a at_o least_o to_o his_o own_o but_o this_o change_n can_v be_v wrought_v by_o any_o suggestion_n of_o satan_n unto_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n who_o indeed_o he_o mental_o tempt_v to_o lust_n pride_n and_o malice_n but_o it_o be_v his_o great_a artifice_n to_o cause_v his_o insinuation_n to_o and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n as_o their_o own_o natural_a thought_n and_o if_o conscience_n discover_v their_o author_n and_o oppose_v they_o than_o he_o varnish_n they_o over_o with_o the_o specious_a colour_n of_o pleasure_n honour_n and_o glory_n and_o so_o represent_v they_o as_o real_o good_a to_o be_v will_v and_o desire_v by_o the_o soul_n which_o judge_v of_o all_o thing_n without_o according_a to_o the_o idea_n she_o have_v of_o they_o but_o because_o most_o object_n have_v two_o and_o some_o many_o face_n and_o she_o not_o always_o attend_v therefore_o she_o often_o err_v in_o her_o choice_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o she_o to_o apete_fw-it a_fw-mi object_n who_o simple_a idea_n be_v evil_a but_o the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o the_o devil_n be_v such_o for_o we_o can_v represent_v he_o a_o our_o mind_n any_o otherwise_o than_o as_o the_o great_a destroyer_n of_o man_n therefore_o no_o mental_a temptation_n can_v make_v we_o believe_v this_o our_o grand_a enemy_n to_o be_v ever_o exorable_a by_o or_o in_o any_o measure_n favourable_a to_o we_o whence_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o the_o devil_n to_o work_v this_o change_n of_o opinion_n his_o wor●●●pers_n have_v of_o he_o must_v appear_v unto_o they_o in_o a_o bodily_a shape_n and_o impose_v 〈◊〉_d they_o who_o because_o of_o their_o great_a corruption_n and_o sinfulness_n god_n 〈◊〉_d whole_o leave_v and_o give_v up_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v a_o lie_n and_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n who_o now_o appear_v in_o a_o humane_a shape_n kell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v no_o such_o monster_n as_o he_o have_v be_v represent_v to_o they_o by_o his_o enemy_n who_o call_v himself_o god_n which_o title_n of_o right_n belong_v to_o he_o and_o that_o he_o if_o they_o be_v contract_n to_o be_v his_o servant_n will_v both_o ample_o reward_v they_o by_o give_v they_o power_n to_o do_v many_o thing_n very_o suitable_a to_o their_o abominable_a deprave_a nature_n that_o the_o christian_n whatever_o opinion_n they_o may_v pretend_v to_o have_v of_o their_o god_n can_v so_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o and_o also_o that_o he_o will_v protect_v and_o defend_v they_o against_o he_o who_o heretofore_o they_o have_v mistake_v for_o the_o almighty_a and_o his_o pretend_a son_n christ_n who_o they_o must_v abjure_v ere_o they_o can_v be_v receive_v by_o or_o expect_v any_o benefit_n from_o he_o upon_o no_o other_o consideration_n be_v it_o possible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o worship_v the_o devil_n for_o the_o atheist_n who_o deny_v the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n do_v likewise_o deny_v the_o existence_n of_o any_o spirit_n good_a or_o bad_a therefore_o their_o drink_v the_o devil_n health_n even_o upon_o their_o knee_n though_o a_o most_o horrid_a crime_n can_v be_v construe_v any_o part_n of_o worship_n pay_v to_o he_o who_o they_o assert_v to_o be_v a_o chimaera_n a_o mere_a figment_n of_o state_n man_n to_o keep_v the_o vulgar_a in_o awe_n now_o i_o have_v evince_v to_o you_o that_o there_o be_v witch_n that_o the_o witch_n receive_v power_n from_o the_o devil_n to_o do_v strange_a thing_n that_o there_o be_v a_o express_a covenant_n between_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o witch_n that_o this_o covenant_n can_v be_v transact_v mental_o but_o that_o the_o devil_n must_v appear_v in_o a_o bodily_a shape_n to_o the_o witch_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o a_o witch_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v such_o who_o have_v make_v a_o explicit_fw-la covenant_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o be_v impower_v by_o he_o to_o do_v thing_n strange_a in_o themselves_o and_o beside_o their_o natural_a course_n ●_o s._n i_o persuade_v myself_o you_o do_v nor_o expect_v from_o i_o any_o essay_n concern_v the_o method_n how_o witch_n may_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v convince_v i_o with_o that_o those_o gentleman_n who_o eminent_a station_n both_o inable_v they_o to_o perform_v it_o and_o likewise_o make_v it_o their_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v may_v take_v this_o province_n upon_o they_o and_o handle_v it_o so_o full_o as_o to_o satisfy_v you_o herein_o i_o once_o intend_v to_o have_v provide_v some_o material_n for_o this_o work_n by_o define_v four_o principal_a thing_n relate_v to_o witchcraft_n viz._n 1._o witch-fits_a 2._o the_o imp_n that_o be_v say_v to_o attend_v on_o the_o witch_n 3._o the_o transportation_n of_o the_o witch_n through_o the_o air._n 4._o last_o the_o invisibility_n of_o the_o witch_n out_o upon_o second_o thought_n that_o it_o be_v foreign_a from_o my_o purpose_n who_o be_o not_o concern_v to_o compose_v a_o just_a treatise_n of_o witchcraft_n which_o will_v require_v more_o vacant_a time_n than_o my_o present_a circumstance_n will_v allow_v only_o i_o do_v promise_v you_o to_o give_v you_o my_o opinion_n private_o therefore_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o make_v use_n of_o a_o argument_n which_o show_v neither_o art_n nor_o learning_n in_o the_o author_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o see_v there_o be_v witch_n and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v command_v they_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v mean_n to_o convict_v they_o by_o clear_a and_o certain_a proof_n otherwise_o the_o law_n be_v in_o vain_a for_o no_o man_n can_v be_v just_o condemn_v who_o be_v not_o fair_o convict_v by_o full_a and_o certain_a evidence_n iii_o s._n in_o the_o last_o place_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v whether_o a_o witch_n ought_v to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n or_o no_o you_o answer_v in_o the_o negative_a because_o you_o say_v that_o that_o law_n thou_o shall_v not_o suffer_v a_o witch_n to_o live_v be_v judicial_a and_o extend_v only_o to_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o our_o saviour_n or_o his_o apostle_n have_v not_o deliver_v any_o where_o any_o such_o command_n therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v suffer_v to_o live_v this_o indeed_o seem_v somewhat_o plausible_a at_o first_o view_n but_o upon_o through_o examination_n have_v no_o weight_n in_o it_o at_o all_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o all_o penal_a law_n receive_v their_o sanction_n from_o he_o or_o they_o who_o have_v the_o sovereign_a power_n in_o any_o state_n as_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n be_v a_o moral-law_n and_o obligatory_a over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n in_o all_o place_n and_o age_n but_o the_o adulterer_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n be_v a_o judicial_a law_n and_o in_o force_n only_o in_o that_o state_n where_o it_o be_v enact_v by_o the_o sovereign_n 2._o the_o government_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o theocracy_n and_o god_n himself_o do_v condescend_v to_o be_v their_o king_n not_o only_o as_o he_o be_v king_n of_o king_n for_o in_o that_o sense_n he_o be_v always_o be_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v supreme_a lord_n and_o governor_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n but_o in_o a_o especial_a manner_n to_o give_v they_o law_n for_o the_o government_n of_o their_o state_n and_o to_o protect_v they_o against_o their_o enemy_n in_o one_o word_n to_o be_v immediate_o their_o sovereign_n 3._o our_o saviour_n kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n he_o be_v no_o judge_n to_o divide_v so_o much_o as_o a_o inheritance_n between_o two_o brethren_n nay_o he_o himself_o submit_v patient_o to_o the_o unjust_a sentence_n of_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o country_n in_o which_o he_o live_v therefore_o both_o the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n annex_v to_o his_o law_n be_v spiritual_a and_o then_o shall_v have_v their_o full_a accomplishment_n when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n at_o the_o last_o day_n shall_v
