A06477	A dreame of the diuell and Diues most terrible and fearefull to the seruantes of Sathan, but right comfortable and acceptable to the children of God : plainely described by way of dialogue, verie necessarie to be read aduisedly, and heard attentiuelie, both of rulers and inferiours, rich, and poore, younge and olde, wise and simple, that wish rather to dwel in heauen, then in hell.

of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n theo._n now_o i_o perceive_v that_o god_n of_o his_o merciful_a goodness_n have_v draw_v you_o from_o the_o devil_n by_o this_o dream_n he_o call_v
