A65369	The displaying of supposed witchcraft wherein is affirmed that there are many sorts of deceivers and impostors and divers persons under a passive delusion of melancholy and fancy, but that there is a corporeal league made betwixt the Devil and the witch ... is utterly denied and disproved : wherein also is handled, the existence of angels and spirits, the truth of apparitions, the nature of astral and sydereal spirits, the force of charms, and philters, with other abstruse matters / by John Webster ...

have_v as_o we_o conceive_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v in_o man_n these_o three_o distinct_a part_n of_o body_n soul_n and_o spirit_n in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o be_v to_o show_v

thereby_o to_o preserve_v the_o life_n of_o the_o child_n and_o to_o fulfil_v the_o scripture_n neither_o do_v the_o fall_v angel_n know_v future_a event_n that_o be_v contingent_a or_o depend_v

all_o the_o prediction_n and_o divination_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o his_o angel_n be_v nothing_o but_o lie_v guess_n and_o uncertain_a conjecture_n for_o what_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o he_o who_o
