A19294 Sathan transformed into an angell of light expressing his dangerous impostures vnder glorious shewes. Emplified [sic] specially in the doctrine of witchcraft, and such sleights of Satan, as are incident thereunto. Very necessary to discerne the speciplague raging in these dayes, and so to hide our selues from the snare thereof. Cooper, Thomas, fl. 1626. 1622 (1622) STC 5701.3; ESTC S116346 125,396 405
