A65369 The displaying of supposed witchcraft wherein is affirmed that there are many sorts of deceivers and impostors and divers persons under a passive delusion of melancholy and fancy, but that there is a corporeal league made betwixt the Devil and the witch ... is utterly denied and disproved : wherein also is handled, the existence of angels and spirits, the truth of apparitions, the nature of astral and sydereal spirits, the force of charms, and philters, with other abstruse matters / by John Webster ... Webster, John, 1610-1682. 1677 (1677) Wing W1230; ESTC R12517 396,606 368

make_v it_o plain_a that_o he_o be_v either_o in_o another_o room_n or_o that_o no_o visible_a apparition_n present_v itself_o before_o his_o eye_n but_o he_o only_o perceive_v it_o by_o the_o description_n of_o the_o crafty_a woman_n who_o know_v well_o enough_o what_o habit_n or_o garment_n samuel_n wear_v in_o his_o life_n time_n as_o one_o that_o be_v the_o most_o public_o know_v man_n in_o israel_n and_o therefore_o the_o subtle_a and_o crafty_a quean_n know_v that_o saul_n only_o require_v samuel_n to_o be_v bring_v up_o and_o no_o other_o do_v at_o the_o last_o frame_v her_o tale_n agreeable_a to_o saul_n desire_v and_o so_o describe_v he_o a_o old_a man_n cover_v with_o a_o mantle_n and_o such_o a_o one_o saul_n have_v know_v he_o to_o be_v while_o he_o be_v live_v but_o if_o saul_n have_v see_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o shape_n or_o form_n of_o samuel_n than_o the_o hebrew_n verb_n thrice_o use_v in_o that_o action_n that_o proper_o signify_v to_o see_v with_o the_o eye_n will_v have_v be_v use_v in_o this_o place_n as_o well_o as_o when_o it_o relate_v what_o she_o see_v and_o not_o the_o verb_n for_o know_v or_o perceive_v that_o relate_v to_o the_o mind_n and_o samuel_n he_o see_v not_o but_o only_o believe_v the_o lie_n she_o tell_v he_o for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v be_v and_o saul_n see_v samuel_n and_o not_o saul_n perceive_v that_o it_o be_v samuel_n which_o he_o can_v not_o do_v but_o only_o by_o her_o relation_n and_o forge_a tale_n 8._o the_o last_o thing_n in_o this_o action_n be_v that_o saul_n stoop_v with_o his_o face_n to_o the_o ground_n and_o bow_v himself_o now_o to_o what_o do_v he_o stoop_v and_o bow_n see_v he_o have_v see_v nothing_o with_o his_o own_o eye_n neither_o know_v any_o thing_n that_o appear_v but_o as_o the_o woman_n tell_v he_o can_v it_o be_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o to_o a_o imaginary_a samuel_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o she_o have_v describe_v who_o he_o conceit_v in_o his_o fantasy_n to_o be_v samuel_n himself_o sure_o in_o rational_a consequence_n it_o can_v be_v nothing_o else_o for_o all_o that_o she_o have_v do_v and_o say_v before_o be_v undeniable_o lie_v and_o cheat_n this_o also_o in_o just_a and_o right_a reason_n must_v be_v judge_v to_o be_v so_o also_o so_o that_o it_o be_v either_o the_o woman_n that_o be_v in_o another_o room_n do_v change_n and_o alter_v her_o voice_n and_o so_o play_v the_o part_n of_o samuel_n or_o else_o that_o she_o have_v a_o confederate_a knave_n who_o she_o turn_v out_o to_o act_v the_o part_n of_o dead_a samuel_n 6._o the_o last_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v handle_v concern_v this_o controvert_v subject_n be_v the_o examination_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o those_o that_o be_v of_o a_o different_a judgement_n which_o may_v be_v comprise_v in_o these_o three_o several_a head_n 1._o some_o do_v conceive_v that_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o samuel_n that_o be_v raise_v up_o and_o act_v by_o his_o soul_n or_o by_o satan_n 2._o some_o hold_n that_o it_o be_v samuel_n soul_n that_o appear_v in_o the_o shape_n and_o habit_n that_o he_o have_v live_v 3._o other_o do_v positive_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v the_o devil_n that_o assume_v the_o shape_n of_o samuel_n and_o so_o act_v the_o whole_a business_n by_o a_o compact_n betwixt_o he_o and_o the_o woman_n these_o we_o shall_v confute_v in_o order_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o body_n of_o samuel_n that_o be_v raise_v up_o nor_o the_o soul_n join_v with_o it_o that_o act_v samuel_n part_n be_v manifest_a from_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o samuel_n body_n have_v lie_v too_o long_o in_o the_o grave_n for_o some_o account_n it_o near_o two_o year_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o in_o a_o great_a part_n be_v corrupt_v waste_a and_o disfigure_v that_o none_o can_v have_v certain_o know_v that_o it_o be_v samuel_n 2._o it_o must_v have_v be_v so_o putrify_v and_o stink_a that_o none_o can_v have_v endure_v near_o it_o for_o the_o noisome_a and_o horrible_a smell_n 3._o who_o shall_v have_v cover_v it_o with_o the_o mantle_n which_o have_v it_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o must_v in_o so_o long_a a_o time_n have_v be_v rot_v and_o consume_v sure_o there_o be_v no_o tailor_n in_o the_o grave_a to_o make_v he_o a_o new_a one_o but_o in_o reason_n and_o likelihood_n if_o it_o have_v be_v his_o body_n it_o shall_v have_v appear_v in_o linen_n or_o a_o winding-sheet_n if_o that_o have_v not_o be_v rot_v likewise_o 4._o to_o raise_v a_o body_n so_o long_o dead_a must_v needs_o have_v require_v a_o omnipotent_a power_n for_o it_o be_v the_o almighty_a power_n of_o christ_n alone_o that_o 21._o raise_v up_o the_o vile_a body_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o make_v they_o like_o his_o glorious_a body_n and_o therefore_o neither_o the_o woman_n with_o all_o her_o divination_n nor_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n nor_o any_o create_a power_n but_o the_o lord_n almighty_n can_v have_v wrought_v this_o miracle_n who_o will_v never_o have_v do_v it_o to_o gratify_v the_o humour_n or_o to_o magnify_v the_o cheat_a craft_n of_o a_o idolatrous_a wicked_a and_o cozen_a witch_n and_o if_o the_o devil_n or_o any_o create_a power_n can_v raise_v up_o the_o body_n of_o 53._o a_o depart_a saint_n than_o the_o rise_n out_o of_o the_o grave_n of_o many_o body_n of_o saint_n that_o have_v sleep_v and_o their_o come_n into_o the_o holy_a city_n and_o appear_v unto_o many_o after_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a have_v be_v no_o certain_a or_o convince_a argument_n of_o the_o undoubted_a truth_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o resurrection_n of_o our_o most_o bless_a saviour_n but_o they_o be_v most_o infallible_a evidence_n of_o they_o both_o as_o say_v the_o father_n s_o hierome_n in_o these_o word_n sic_fw-la multa_fw-la corpora_fw-la sanctorum_fw-la resurrexerunt_fw-la 27._o ut_fw-la dominum_fw-la ostenderent_fw-la resurgentem_fw-la &_o tamen_fw-la cum_fw-la monumenta_fw-la aperta_fw-la
