but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o greatness_n and_o incrediblenesse_n of_o the_o miracle_n be_v this_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o actual_a separation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o yet_o no_o

will_v not_o so_o far_o tire_v either_o myself_o or_o my_o reader_n i_o will_v only_o name_v one_o or_o two_o story_n more_o rather_o than_o recite_v they_o as_o that_o of_o cardan_n who_o write_v as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o otho_n melander_n that_o a_o spirit_n that_o familiar_o be_v see_v in_o the_o house_n of_o a_o friend_n of_o he_o one_o night_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o brow_n which_o feel_v intolerable_o cold_a and_o so_o petrus_n bourgotus_n confess_v that_o when_o the_o devil_n give_v he_o his_o hand_n to_o kiss_v it_o feel_v cold_a and_o many_o more_o example_n there_o be_v to_o this_o purpose_n and_o indeed_o it_o stand_v to_o very_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o body_n of_o devil_n be_v nothing_o but_o coagulate_v air_n shall_v be_v cold_a as_o well_o as_o

and_o therefore_o more_o fit_a to_o insinuate_v and_o more_o accurate_o and_o stinging_o to_o affect_v and_o touch_v the_o nerve_n wherefore_o witch_n confess_v so_o frequent_o as_o they_o do_v that_o the_o devil_n lie_v with_o they_o and_o withal_o complain_v of_o his_o tedious_a and_o offensive_a coldness_n it_o be_v a_o shrewd_a presumption_n that_o he_o do_v lie_v with_o they_o indeed_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a dream_n as_o their_o friend_n wierus_n will_v have_v it_o hence_o we_o may_v also_o discover_v the_o folly_n of_o that_o opinion_n that_o make_v the_o very_a essence_n of_o spirit_n to_o be_v fire_n for_o how_o unfit_a that_o will_v be_v to_o coagulate_v the_o air_n be_v plain_a at_o first_o sight_n it_o will_v rather_o melt_v and_o dissolve_v these_o

from_o all_o corporeal_a matter_n whatsoever_o but_o my_o intent_n be_v not_o to_o philosophize_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o spirit_n but_o only_o to_o prove_v their_o existence_n which_o the_o
