A09402	A discourse of the damned art of witchcraft so farre forth as it is reuealed in the Scriptures, and manifest by true experience. Framed and deliuered by M. William Perkins, in his ordinarie course of preaching, and now published by Tho. Pickering Batchelour of Diuinitie, and minister of Finchingfield in Essex. Whereunto is adioyned a twofold table; one of the order and heades of the treatise; another of the texts of Scripture explaned, or vindicated from the corrupt interpretation of the aduersarie.

by_o extraordinary_a revelation_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o preach_v be_v not_o new_a but_o the_o same_o in_o substance_n with_o that_o which_o be_v record_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n both_o which_o be_v represent_v by_o moses_n and_o elias_n so_o also_o he_o wrought_v the_o miracle_n upon_o lazarus_n the_o widow_n son_n and_o lairus_fw-la

that_o god_n suffer_v the_o dead_a to_o be_v raise_v up_o wherefore_o those_o instance_n will_v not_o any_o way_n confirm_v samuel_n appear_v which_o indeed_o be_v not_o true_a but_o counterfeit_n

effect_v by_o the_o devil_n frame_v to_o himself_o a_o body_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o samuel_n wherein_o he_o speak_v if_o therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o by_o counterfeit_a apparition_n of_o the_o dead_a witch_n and_o sorcerer_n can_v foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v hence_o sundry_a point_n of_o witchcraft_n may_v be_v observe_v first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o league_n between_o the_o witch_n and_o the_o devil_n for_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n which_o move_v saul_n to_o seek_v to_o witch_n because_o neither_o he_o himself_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o servant_n can_v raise_v up_o satan_n in_o samuel_n likeness_n as_o the_o witch_n of_o endor_n do_v but_o saul_n be_v a_o king_n may_v have_v command_v help_n from_o all_o the_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n in_o israel_n for_o the_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o matter_n why_o then_o will_v he_o rather_o seek_v to_o a_o silly_a woman_n then_o to_o they_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o she_o have_v make_v a_o compact_n with_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o use_n of_o his_o help_n at_o she_o the_o ●aund_n by_o virtue_n whereof_o he_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o answer_v as_o she_o to_o call_v he_o whereas_o saul_n and_o the_o learned_a jew_n have_v make_v no_o such_o league_n neither_o he_o by_o his_o power_n nor_o they_o by_o their_o skill_n can_v have_v perform_v such_o a_o work_n second_o the_o devil_n will_v be_v ready_a at_o the_o call_n and_o command_v of_o witch_n and_o sorcerer_n when_o they_o be_v intend_v any_o mischief_n for_o here_o the_o witch_n of_o endor_n no_o soon_o speak_v but_o he_o appear_v and_o therefore_o the_o text_n give_v she_o a_o name_n that_o signify_v one_o have_v rule_n and_o command_v over_o pytho_n that_o be_v the_o familiar_a spirit_n yet_o when_o he_o be_v command_v he_o

the_o more_o easy_o draw_v into_o the_o same_o confederacy_n wherewith_o they_o themselves_o be_v unite_v to_o satan_n i_o may_v here_o allege_v that_o they_o deserve_v death_n because_o many_o of_o they_o be_v murderer_n but_o i_o stand_v not_o upon_o that_o instance_n because_o i_o hold_v in_o the_o general_a that_o witch_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suffer_v to_o live_v though_o they_o do_v no_o hurt_n either_o to_o man_n or_o other_o creature_n and_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o moses_n law_n only_o for_o their_o league_n sake_n whereby_o they_o become_v rebel_n to_o god_n idolater_n and_o

well-willer_n first_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o hurt_n that_o be_v do_v come_v not_o from_o the_o witch_n but_o from_o the_o devil_n he_o deserve_v the_o blame_n because_o it_o be_v his_o work_n and_o she_o be_v not_o to_o die_v for_o his_o sin_n ans._n let_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o witch_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v do_v yet_o she_o be_v a_o confederate_a and_o partner_n with_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o fact_n and_o so_o the_o law_n take_v hold_v on_o she_o see_v it_o in_o a_o familiar_a comparison_n a_o company_n of_o man_n conspire_v together_o in_o a_o robbery_n by_o common_a consent_n some_o stand_n in_o open_a place_n to_o espy_v out_o the_o booty_n and_o to_o give_v the_o watchword_n other_o be_v set_v about_o the_o passage_n privy_o to_o

man_n yet_o be_v accessory_n and_o abettor_n to_o the_o robbery_n by_o consent_n they_o be_v thief_n and_o liable_a to_o condemnation_n and_o execution_n as_o well_o as_o the_o principal_n even_o so_o

the_o witch_n only_o use_v the_o watchword_n in_o some_o charm_n or_o otherwise_o and_o do_v no_o more_o the_o devil_n upon_o notice_n give_v by_o the_o charm_n take_v his_o opportunity_n and_o work_v the_o mischief_n he_o be_v the_o principal_a agent_n but_o the_o other_o yield_v help_v and_o be_v right_o liable_a to_o punishment_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o stir_v up_o and_o provoke_v by_o the_o witch_n he_o will_v never_o do_v so_o much_o hurt_v as_o he_o do_v he_o have_v never_o appear_v in_o samuel_n likeness_n have_v he_o not_o be_v solicit_v by_o the_o
