the_o door_n be_v lock_v be_v all_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a divers_a example_n more_o may_v be_v recite_v out_o of_o divine_a writ_n which_o for_o brevity_n sake_n i_o omit_v among_o

certain_a distinction_n and_o sure_a order_n ought_v to_o be_v find_v of_o the_o natural_a supernatural_a unnatural_a thing_n in_o like_a manner_n there_o appertain_v unto_o supernatural_a thing_n all_o the_o water-spirit_n as_o the_o siren_n succubus_n &_o other_o water-nymph_n with_o their_o relation_n as_o likewise_o the_o terrestrial_a spirit_n and_o those_o which_o inhabit_v the_o air_n

yet_o be_v they_o not_o such_o spirit_n as_o the_o right_n hellish_a spirit_n who_o hunt_v after_o man_n soul_n as_o a_o eternal_a jewel_n even_o as_o the_o infernal_a lucifer_n the_o devil_n and_o his_o dependent_n do_v who_o be_v eject_v with_o he_o but_o these_o be_v such_o spirit_n which_o be_v above_o nature_n set_v before_o man_n for_o admiration_n and_o be_v only_o maintain_v by_o the_o

particular_o treat_v of_o vision_n and_o spiritual_a appearance_n which_o be_v esteem_v unnatural_a by_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o true_o be_v natural_a but_o they_o be_v find_v to_o be_v supernatural_a in_o their_o operation_n and_o wonderful_a quality_n that_o i_o may_v further_o confirm_v my_o assertion_n i_o say_v likewise_o that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n to_o be_v find_v in_o physic_n which_o yield_v and_o manifest_v their_o work_n supernatural_o in_o a_o magnetical_a way_n operate_n only_o by_o a_o attractive_a spiritual_a power_n which_o be_v attract_v to_o it_o by_o the_o air_n for_o the_o air_n be_v the_o medium_fw-la between_o the_o physic_n and_o the_o hurt_a or_o distemper_n even_o as_o the_o magnet_n ever_o do_v direct_a and_o turn_v itself_o towards_o its_o polestar_n though_o the_o star_n be_v many_o thousand_o mile_n distant_a from_o it_o yet_o the_o spiritual_a operation_n and_o sympathy_n between_o they_o be_v so_o prevalent_a that_o it_o be_v attract_v together_o at_o so_o vast_a a_o distance_n by_o the_o medium_fw-la or_o middle_a band_n of_o the_o air_n but_o because_o this_o attractive_a power_n be_v only_o know_v unto_o people_n in_o general_n or_o as_o a_o thing_n common_a it_o be_v therefore_o become_v customary_a and_o be_v so_o esteem_v there_o be_v no_o notice_n take_v of_o any_o further_a secret_n whence_o this_o operative_a faculty_n have_v its_o source_n or_o original_a in_o like_a manner_n hurt_n and_o distemper_n may_v be_v heal_v and_o cure_v though_o the_o patient_n and_o physician_n be_v very_o far_o distant_a one_o from_o the_o other_o not_o by_o charm_n exorcism_n or_o other_o unlawful_a prohibit_v mean_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o god_n and_o nature_n but_o by_o such_o mean_n wherein_o the_o attractive_a magnetic_a virtue_n lie_v to_o accomplish_v it_o as_o when_o a_o wound_a person_n go_v a_o journey_n leave_v the_o weapon_n wherewith_o he_o be_v wound_v or_o else_o of_o his_o blood_n which_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o wound_n with_o his_o physician_n wherewith_o he_o proceed_v right_o and_o by_o orderly_a mean_n as_o be_v usual_a in_o dress_v a_o wound_n without_o all_o doubt_n he_o shall_v be_v absolute_o cure_v this_o be_v no_o witchcraft_n but_o the_o cure_n be_v perform_v only_o by_o the_o attractive_a power_n of_o the_o medicine_n which_o be_v carry_v to_o the_o sore_a by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o air_n wherewith_o it_o be_v mundify_v that_o it_o may_v perform_v the_o spiritual_a operation_n some_o will_v think_v these_o hard_a say_n and_o impossible_a in_o nature_n and_o many_o will_v say_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n whereby_o many_o will_v be_v excite_v to_o dispute_v it_o and_o raise_v argument_n one_o opposite_a to_o the_o other_o whether_o it_o be_v natural_a or_o no_o whether_o it_o be_v possible_a or_o no_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v sorcery_n i_o will_v thus_o resolve_v they_o that_o this_o cure_n be_v natural_a but_o as_o it_o operate_v it_o be_v supernatural_a &_o spiritual_a because_o it_o be_v perform_v mere_o by_o a_o attractive_a incomprehensible_a mean_n and_o that_o this_o manner_n of_o cure_n be_v no_o sorcery_n i_o affirm_v it_o hereby_o that_o it_o be_v not_o mix_v or_o accompany_v with_o any_o sorcery_n nor_o with_o any_o other_o unnatural_a mean_n contrary_a to_o god_n the_o creator_n or_o his_o holy_a and_o save_a word_n but_o it_o be_v only_o natural_a out_o of_o its_o supernatural_a invisible_a incomprehensible_a spiritual_a and_o attractive_a power_n which_o receive_v its_o original_a from_o the_o sidereal_a and_o perform_v its_o operation_n by_o the_o element_n last_o i_o likewise_o approve_v this_o cure_n to_o be_v no_o sorcery_n because_o the_o devil_n rather_o delight_n in_o all_o mischief_n to_o mankind_n than_o to_o assist_v any_o manner_n of_o way_n for_o their_o benefit_n which_o yet_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v without_o god_n permission_n much_o more_o may_v be_v write_v of_o this_o magnetic_a form_n but_o i_o choose_v rather_o to_o be_v silent_a refer_v it_o till_o i_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o natural_a miracle_n of_o the_o world_n the_o grosser_n sort_n of_o foolish_a wit_n who_o imagine_v themselves_o to_o be_v wise_a philosopher_n and_o all_o other_o who_o be_v not_o in_o their_o perfect_a sense_n know_v no_o difference_n in_o this_o case_n but_o the_o wise_a and_o true_o discreet_a well_o know_v how_o to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o that_o which_o be_v natural_a and_o that_o which_o be_v supernatural_a for_o do_v but_o observe_v this_o comparison_n to_o be_v prove_v by_o a_o gross_a example_n how_o many_o creature_n be_v there_o which_o die_v absolute_o in_o the_o water_n so_o that_o no_o life_n be_v leave_v therein_o but_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o pleasant_a summer_n appear_v the_o natural_a heat_n give_v a_o new_a life_n &_o the_o body_n quite_o restore_v in_o the_o same_o substance_n as_o it_o be_v before_o in_o its_o live_a motion_n even_o as_o a_o herb_n which_o die_v in_o the_o winter_n but_o in_o the_o spring_n it_o manifest_v itself_o anew_o the_o death_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v natural_a but_o the_o return_n of_o a_o new_a life_n in_o its_o knowledge_n be_v supernatural_a but_o because_o we_o be_v accustom_v to_o all_o these_o thing_n the_o least_o part_n of_o we_o consider_v what_o be_v worthy_a of_o further_a meditation_n in_o this_o case_n let_v both_o natural_a and_o supernatural_a go_v away_o together_o most_o people_n overpass_v that_o natural_a custom_n which_o yet_o be_v supernatural_a as_o also_o monstrous_a birth_n and_o those_o that_o
