not_o to_o be_v use_v of_o we_o christian_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o first_o author_n hereof_o monardus_n in_o his_o treatise_n of_o tobacco_n do_v sufficient_o witness_v say_v the_o indian_a priest_n who_o no_o doubt_n be_v instrument_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o they_o serve_v do_v ever_o before_o they_o answer_v to_o question_n propound_v to_o they_o by_o their_o prince_n drink_v of_o this_o tobacco_n fume_n with_o the_o vigour_n and_o strength_n whereof_o they_o fall_v sudden_o to_o the_o ground_n as_o dead_a man_n remain_v so_o according_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o smoke_n that_o they_o have_v take_v and_o when_o the_o herb_n have_v do_v his_o work_n they_o revive_v and_o wake_v give_v answer_n according_a to_o the_o vision_n and_o illusion_n which_o they_o see_v whilst_o they_o be_v wrap_v in_o that_o order_n and_o they_o interpret_v their_o demand_n as_o to_o they_o seem_v best_a or_o as_o the_o devil_n have_v counsel_v they_o give_v continual_a doubtful_a answer_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o howsoever_o they_o fall_v out_o they_o may_v turn_v it_o to_o their_o purpose_n like_v unto_o the_o oracle_n of_o apollo_n as_o aio_fw-la te_fw-la aeacide_n

plain_a word_n the_o same_o monardusâ—_n little_a after_o declare_v the_o devil_n to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o tobacco_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o say_v and_o as_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o

and_o last_o reason_n the_o last_o and_o that_o not_o the_o least_o argument_n against_o tobacco_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a encreaser_n of_o melancholy_n in_o we_o and_o thereby_o dispose_v
