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

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

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

upon_o suspicion_n will_v take_v it_o on_o his_o death_n that_o such_o a_o one_o have_v bewitch_v he_o it_o be_v a_o allegation_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o may_v move_v the_o judge_n to_o

himself_o though_o in_o time_n of_o extremity_n when_o it_o be_v likely_a he_o will_v speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v of_o no_o more_o force_n than_o another_o man_n word_n against_o he_o and_o these_o be_v the_o proof_n which_o man_n in_o place_n and_o time_n have_v ordinary_o use_v for_o the_o detect_n of_o such_o ungodly_a person_n but_o the_o best_a that_o may_v be_v say_v of_o they_o be_v that_o they_o be_v all_o either_o false_a or_o uncertain_a sign_n and_o unavaileable_a for_o the_o condemnation_n of_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o now_o follow_v the_o true_a proof_n and_o

further_a enquiry_n when_o a_o man_n from_o the_o touch_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n acknowledge_v the_o fault_n and_o yet_o the_o patron_n and_o advocate_n of_o witch_n except_o against_o it_o and_o object_n in_o this_o manner_n that_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n may_v confess_v against_o themselves_o a_o untruth_n be_v urge_v thereto_o either_o by_o fear_n or_o threaten_a or_o by_o a_o desire_n upon_o some_o grief_n conceive_v to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o world_n or_o at_o least_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o persuade_v it_o be_v the_o best_a course_n to_o save_v their_o life_n and_o obtain_v

sufficient_a but_o a_o confession_n after_o due_a examination_n take_v upon_o pregnant_a presumption_n for_o if_o a_o man_n examine_v without_o any_o ground_n or_o presumption_n shall_v open_o acknowledge_v the_o crime_n his_o act_n may_v be_v just_o suspect_v as_o ground_v upon_o by-respect_n but_o when_o proceed_n be_v make_v against_o he_o at_o the_o first_o upon_o good_a probability_n and_o hereupon_o he_o be_v draw_v to_o a_o free_a confession_n that_o which_o he_o have_v manifest_v thereby_o can_v but_o be_v a_o truth_n other_o point_n of_o exception_n urge_v by_o they_o be_v of_o small_a moment_n and_o may_v easy_o be_v answer_v out_o of_o the_o ground_n before_o deliver_v and_o therefore_o i_o omit_v they_o now_o if_o the_o party_n hold_v in_o suspicion_n be_v examine_v and_o will_v not_o confesso_fw-la but_o obstinate_o persist_v in_o denial_n as_o common_o it_o fall_v out_o then_o there_o be_v another_o course_n to_o be_v take_v by_o a_o second_o sufficient_a mean_n of_o conviction_n which_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o two_o witness_n of_o good_a and_o honest_a report_n avouch_v before_o the_o magistrate_n upon_o their_o own_o knowledge_n these_o two_o thing_n either_o that_o the_o party_n accuse_v have_v make_v a_o league_n with_o the_o devil_n or_o have_v do_v some_o know_a practice_n of_o witchcraft_n and_o all_o argument_n that_o do_v

instrument_n to_o give_v unto_o he_o and_o it_o be_v a_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o a_o league_n former_o make_v between_o they_o second_o if_o they_o can_v give_v evidence_n that_o the_o party_n have_v entertain_v a_o familiar_a spirit_n and_o have_v conference_n with_o it_o in_o form_n or_o likeness_n of_o a_o mouse_n cat_n or_o some_o other_o visible_a creature_n three_o if_o they_o affirm_v upon_o oath_n that_o the_o suspect_a person_n have_v do_v any_o action_n or_o work_n which_o necessary_o infer_v a_o covenant_n make_v as_o that_o he_o have_v show_v the_o face_n of_o a_o man_n suspect_v be_v absent_a in_o a_o glass_n or_o use_v enchantment_n or_o such_o like_a feat_n in_o a_o word_n if_o they_o both_o can_v avouch_v upon_o their_o own_o proper_a knowledge_n that_o such_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n suspect_v have_v put_v in_o practice_v any_o other_o action_n of_o witchcraft_n as_o to_o have_v divine_v of_o thing_n afore_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o that_o peremptory_o to_o have_v raise_v tempest_n to_o have_v cause_v the_o form_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n to_o appear_v or_o the_o like_a stand_v either_o in_o divination_n or_o operation_n it_o prove_v sufficient_o that_o he_o or_o she_o be_v a_o witch_n but_o some_o may_v say_v if_o these_o be_v the_o only_a strong_a proof_n for_o the_o conviction_n of_o a_o sorcerer_n it_o will_v be_v then_o impossible_a to_o put_v any_o one_o to_o death_n because_o the_o league_n with_o satan_n be_v close_o make_v and_o the_o practice_n of_o sorcery_n be_v also_o very_o secret_a and_o hardly_o can_v a_o

there_o be_v a_o way_n to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o satan_n to_o promise_v any_o thing_n till_o the_o league_n be_v ratify_v but_o when_o it_o be_v once_o make_v and_o the_o party_n entangle_v in_o society_n with_o he_o than_o he_o indeavour_v nothing_o more_o than_o his_o or_o her_o dise●uefie_n and_o use_v all_o mean_n possible_a to_o diclose_v

judgement_n of_o god_n it_o often_o fill_v out_o that_o these_o which_o be_v true_a witch_n indeed_o shall_v either_o by_o confession_n discover_v themselves_o or_o by_o true_a testimony_n be_v convince_v the_o cause_n which_o move_v the_o devil_n not_o only_o to_o affect_v but_o to_o hasten_v this_o discover_v it_o be_v two_o principal_o the_o first_o be_v his_o malice_n towards_o all_o man_n in_o so_o high_a a_o degree_n that_o he_o can_v endure_v they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o world_n or_o the_o benefit_n of_o this_o life_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a so_o much_o as_o one_o hour_n though_o therefore_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o precontract_n he_o be_v cocksure_a of_o his_o instrument_n yet_o his_o malice_n be_v not_o herewith_o satisfy_v till_o the_o party_n be_v bring_v to_o

infatiable_a desire_n of_o the_o present_a and_o full_a possession_n of_o they_o who_o he_o have_v get_v within_o the_o bond_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o though_o he_o have_v good_a hope_n of_o they_o yet_o be_v he_o not_o certain_a of_o their_o continuance_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o some_o unite_a with_o he_o in_o confederacy_n have_v through_o the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n by_o careful_a usage_n of_o holy_a mean_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v reclaim_v and_o deliver_v out_o of_o his_o bondage_n and_o so_o at_o length_n free_v from_o his_o covenant_n so_o as_o he_o have_v eternal_o leave_v they_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o he_o labour_v by_o might_n and_o main_a to_o keep_v they_o in_o ignorance_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o usage_n of_o mean_n effectual_a to_o their_o conversion_n by_o lay_v a_o plot_n for_o their_o discovery_n b●t_v how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o all_o such_o person_n be_v not_o speedy_o detect_v but_o some_o live_v long_o and_o other_o die_v without_o any_o man_n privity_n ans._n the_o reason_n hereof_o may_v be_v diverse_a first_o because_o some_o one_o or_o more_o of_o they_o may_v belong_v to_o god_n election_n and_o therefore_o albeit_o for_o causes-b_a know_v to_o himself_o he_o may_v suffer_v they_o for_o a_o time_n to_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o snare_n of_o satan_n yet_o at_o length_n in_o mercy_n he_o reclaim_v they_o and_o in_o the_o me●ne_a time_n suffer_v not_o the_o devil_n to_o exercise_v the_o depth_n of_o his_o malice_n in_o discover_v they_o to_o their_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
