of_o god_n and_o as_o for_o transformation_n i_o warn_v thou_o before_o to_o look_v for_o no_o supernatural_a work_n in_o witchcraft_n i_o answer_v thou_o therefore_o this_o question_n with_o

mysodaemon_n i_o promise_v you_o theophilus_n i_o will_v no_o more_o cumber_v you_o but_o only_o with_o a_o few_o point_n which_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o the_o use_n of_o edify_v first_o i_o will_v know_v what_o your_o judgement_n be_v of_o some_o big_a volume_n of_o witchcraft_n which_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v contain_v sundry_a intolerable_a profane_a and_o wicked_a treatise_n and_o form_n of_o idle_a and_o vain_a juggling_n and_o blasphemous_a conjuration_n theophilus_n sure_o this_o i_o think_v mysodaemon_n all_o the_o godly_a learned_a man_n who_o tender_o regard_v the_o good_a state_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v no_o doubt_n aggrieve_v in_o hart_n to_o see_v such_o horrible_a impiety_n suffer_v to_o be_v broach_v in_o the_o open_a face_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o young_a wit_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o practice_v these_o ware_n of_o satan_n which_o be_v thus_o put_v to_o sale_n then_o to_o search_v for_o any_o good_a purpose_n in_o they_o which_o be_v most_o hard_a to_o be_v find_v again_o this_o in_o a_o word_n i_o add_v that_o the_o lawyer_n tell_v we_o such_o author_n be_v overtake_v by_o law_n for_o the_o law_n say_v libros_fw-la

avoid_v therefore_o mysodaemon_n such_o dreadful_a impiety_n i_o warn_v thou_o mysodaemon_n well_o then_o i_o will_v if_o god_n assist_v i_o follow_v your_o counsel_n &_o redeem_v also_o the_o time_n if_o i_o can_v in_o better_a study_n which_o i_o have_v so_o vain_o and_o wicked_o lose_v my_o next_o question_n be_v whether_o there_o may_v be_v in_o very_a truth_n at_o this_o day_n such_o conjuration_n and_o call_v up_o of_o deville_n which_o they_o call_v necromancy_n so_o as_o the_o witch_n of_o endor_n do_v for_o albeit_o it_o be_v not_o unlike_a but_o that_o satan_n practise_v with_o witch_n in_o these_o day_n as_o in_o former_a time_n as_o you_o have_v partly_o show_v yet_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a to_o call_v up_o or_o to_o conjure_v devil_n by_o any_o atte_n out_o of_o hell_n for_o the_o 431._o scripture_n say_v that_o all_o passage_n be_v stop_v concern_v the_o egress_n out_o of_o hell_n in_o the_o 16._o chap._n of_o saint_n luke_n gospel_n theophilus_n i_o counsel_v thou_o myso-damon_a never_o to_o credit_n any_o more_o such_o magical_a gloss_n upon_o holy_a scripture_n for_o albeit_o the_o reprobate_n depart_v be_v torment_v for_o ever_o with_o devil_n in_o hell_n yet_o the_o prince_n the_o 14._o god_n and_o the_o governor_n of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o the_o air_n also_o round_o about_o we_o and_o may_v be_v

dreadful_a and_o fearful_a sin_n it_o be_v to_o consult_v at_o any_o time_n or_o need_n with_o witch_n and_o sorcerer_n mysodaemon_n theophilus_n i_o will_v glad_o be_v resolve_v in_o another_o doubt_n theophilus_n most_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o seek_v after_o these_o wise_a man_n and_o cunning_a woman_n such_o as_o they_o call_v witch_n in_o sickness_n in_o loss_n and_o in_o all_o extremity_n what_o think_v you_o of_o this_o theophilus_n theophilus_n i_o be_o assure_v mysodaemon_n that_o such_o miserable_a people_n commit_v a_o most_o horrible_a &_o dreadful_a sin_n that_o they_o be_v just_o bring_v into_o satan_n snare_n for_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n &_o his_o word_n that_o they_o seek_v help_v of_o the_o same_o serpent_n that_o sting_v they_o that_o against_o the_o know_a principle_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o will_v have_v satan_n to_o drive_v out_o satan_n and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o they_o be_v in_o very_a truth_n but_o mere_a gentile_n &_o pagan_n in_o religion_n blind_a in_o their_o mind_n harden_v in_o their_o heart_n stranger_n from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o that_o if_o god_n give_v they_o not_o speedy_a repentance_n they_o will_v become_v past_a feel_n by_o custom_n &_o continuance_n in_o their_o sin_n mysodaemon_n what_o reason_n have_v you_o to_o prove_v this_o custom_n so_o unlawful_a and_o so_o vile_a as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o to_o appear_v to_o be_v for_o those_o sin_n which_o god_n will_v have_v we_o most_o to_o dread_n to_o fear_v &_o to_o avoid_v he_o warn_v we_o of_o they_o many_o way_n by_o his_o worde_n by_o example_n and_o by_o his_o judgement_n from_o heaven_n against_o they_o theophilus_n it_o be_v well_o observe_v mysodaemon_n and_o sure_o god_n warn_v we_o all_o these_o way_n of_o the_o

the_o lord_n in_o his_o word_n charge_v we_o to_o renounce_v the_o work_n of_o the_o gentile_n the_o apostle_n say_v this_o 2._o i_o say_v and_o testify_v in_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o henceforth_o

which_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n think_v it_o not_o unlawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v the_o same_o charge_n moses_n give_v often_o now_o this_o practice_n be_v most_o rife_o among_o

of_o scripture_n have_v you_o against_o this_o practice_n theophilus_n there_o be_v nothing_o clear_a and_o manifest_a mysodaemon_n unto_o those_o in_o 14._o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v
