therefore_o it_o happen_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o be_v deliver_v over_o into_o so_o reprobate_a sense_n of_o mind_n that_o god_n punish_v they_o most_o just_o who_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v do_v

this_o much_o the_o like_o as_o our_o lord_n god_n purpose_v to_o ennoble_v and_o celebrate_v the_o first_o come_v of_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o mind_v to_o make_v the_o

with_o true_a faith_n embrace_v the_o gospel_n may_v more_o earnest_o praise_v god_n and_o in_o consideration_n of_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n bestow_v upon_o they_o yield_v unto_o god_n the_o

of_o the_o devil_n do_v you_o now_o understand_v friend_n anthony_n why_o there_o be_v now_o a_o day_n more_o witch_n and_o sorcerer_n than_o be_v heretofore_o anthony_n yea_o very_o theophilus_n and_o i_o geve_v you_o thanks_n for_o tell_v it_o unto_o i_o but_o now_o to_o intent_n i_o may_v be_v thorough_o confirm_v in_o your_o opinion_n add_v hereunto_o your_o three_o argument_n which_o as_o you_o say_v â–ª_o consist_v in_o the_o reason_n of_o upright_o judgement_n theophil_n you_o put_v i_o well_o in_o mind_n thereof_o for_o i_o have_v almost_o let_v that_o pass_n but_o now_o i_o will_v take_v it_o in_o hand_n reason_n of_o upright_o and_o sincere_a judgement_n will_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v sorcerer_n the_o same_o be_v this_o wheresoever_o be_v the_o true_a and_o efficient_a cause_n of_o any_o thing_n there_o be_v it_o necessary_a also_o that_o the_o effect_n do_v follow_v for_o example_n sake_n wheresoever_o the_o sun_n be_v there_o be_v both_o light_n &_o day_n because_o the_o sun_n be_v true_a and_o efficient_a cause_n of_o both_o wheresoever_o the_o northern_a wind_n blow_v there_o it_o be_v cold_a because_o the_o wind_n be_v engenderer_n of_o coldness_n and_o to_o apply_v this_o general_a assumption_n to_o our_o present_a argument_n thus_o do_v the_o philosopher_n teach_v we_o which_o be_v conversant_a in_o search_v &_o declare_v the_o cause_n of_o thing_n such_o cause_n as_o be_v endue_v with_o soul_n &_o will_n if_o will_v &_o power_n do_v there_o meet_v together_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n necessary_o and_o immediate_o thereon_o

if_o he_o be_v a_o cold_a and_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o fire_n he_o will_v warm_v himself_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o have_v both_o a_o will_n and_o ability_n wherefore_o we_o must_v necessary_o conclude_v that_o he_o will_v do_v it_o doubtless_o satan_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o these_o witch_n and_o intoxication_n he_o have_v both_o a_o desire_n and_o ability_n joinct_v to_o do_v that_o mischief_n to_o draw_v man_n unto_o he_o and_o to_o link_v they_o unto_o he_o this_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o he_o by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n over_o rebellious_a man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v win_v &_o enforce_v they_o to_o that_o kind_n of_o wickedness_n on_o which_o point_n that_o i_o may_v the_o more_o large_o

also_o deny_v this_o that_o satan_n since_o the_o time_n he_o renounce_v his_o first_o original_n and_o be_v make_v a_o devil_n always_o apply_v this_o and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lay_v endeavour_v to_o pluck_v away_o man_n from_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n &_o from_o their_o assure_a hope_n of_o salvation_n final_o to_o make_v they_o contenne_n &_o refuse_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n persuade_v they_o to_o yield_v &_o geve_v over_o themselves_o unto_o he_o who_o he_o see_v to_o be_v cold_a in_o the_o worship_v of_o god_n &_o negligent_a in_o embrace_v his_o promise_n anthony_n you_o say_v truth_n for_o satan_n be_v like_o a_o roar_a lion_n who_o always_o run_v about_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v and_o pull_v from_o god_n as_o say_v s._n peter_n the_o first_o of_o peter_n the_o v_o chapter_n and_o viij_o verse_n theophil_n you_o well_o remember_v the_o place_n anthony_n and_o the_o same_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v also_o in_o the_o revelation_n call_v the_o old_a serpent_n in_o the_o xx_o chapter_n and_o second_o verse_n which_o be_v to_o say_v the_o common_a &_o swear_a enemy_n of_o mankind_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v in_o the_o

that_o satan_n have_v a_o will_n and_o desire_v to_o draw_v man_n away_o from_o the_o fear_n and_o faith_n of_o god_n it_o remain_v now_o that_o we_o see_v whether_o he_o have_v power_n also_o to_o
