With an aunswer vnto diuers friuolous reasons which some doe make to prooue that the deuils did not make those aperations in any bodily shape. By G. Gyfford.

it_o have_v always_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o cousener_n and_o flatterer_n to_o tell_v king_n of_o prosperous_a and_o good_a success_n and_o to_o speak_v pleasant_a thing_n wherefore_o do_v cousener_n and_o flatterer_n practice_v their_o lewdness_n but_o for_o favour_n and_o gain_v can_v any_o be_v fit_a for_o such_o a_o purpose_n which_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o tell_v a_o king_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v destroy_v be_v this_o king_n saul_n grow_v contemptible_a and_o of_o no_o power_n we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o history_n that_o he_o be_v of_o great_a force_n and_o deal_v cruel_o for_o he_o destroy_v nob_n the_o city_n of_o the_o priest_n with_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n he_o persecute_v david_n and_o have_v many_o to_o set_v he_o on_o dare_v now_o a_o poor_a woman_n despise_v he_o be_v the_o form_n of_o word_n use_v by_o samuel_n so_o common_o bruit_v abroad_o and_o in_o everye_o man_n mouth_n that_o the_o very_a witch_n have_v it_o so_o perfect_o man_n will_v not_o speak_v that_o which_o be_v against_o the_o king_n &_o to_o his_o dishonour_n in_o the_o day_n that_o he_o live_v if_o those_o word_n of_o samuel_n be_v public_o spread_v among_o the_o people_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o believe_v but_o of_o the_o small_a part_n this_o be_v plain_o prove_v by_o this_o that_o after_o the_o death_n of_o saul_n the_o most_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n do_v not_o admit_v of_o david_n who_o samuel_n have_v anoyn●…ed_v but_o cleave_v unto_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n and_o make_v war_n david_n be_v now_o in_o banishment_n flee_v out_o of_o the_o country_n there_o be_v no_o show_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v king_n and_o yet_o in_o this_o speech_n unto_o saull_n it_o be_v say_v express_o god_n will_v rend_v the_o kingdom_n from_o out_o of_o thy_o hand_n and_o give_v it_o to_o david_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o whosoever_o consider_v these_o thing_n and_o be_v not_o wilful_o bend_v to_o maintain_v his_o own_o conceit_n he_o will_v confess_v that_o this_o be_v the_o devil_n who_o know_v what_o god_n speak_v by_o his_o prophet_n and_o be_v right_n sure_a it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v whereas_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n never_o regard_v what_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v the_o devil_n do_v speak_v unto_o eva_n out_o of_o the_o serpent_n a_o 3._o thing_n manifest_a to_o prove_v that_o devil_n can_v speak_v unless_o we_o imagine_v that_o age_n have_v make_v he_o forgetful_a and_o tongue_n tie_v some_o hold_n that_o there_o be_v no_o visible_a serpent_n before_o eva_n but_o a_o invisible_a thing_n describe_v after_o that_o manner_n that_o we_o may_v be_v capable_a thereof_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v bring_v for_o proof_n be_v more_o than_o frivolous_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v but_o brief_o touch_v they_o it_o be_v the_o devil_n himself_o and_o not_o a_o snake_n which_o seduce_v eva_n that_o be_v most_o true_a for_o who_o do_v maintain_v that_o the_o beast_n be_v any_o more_o but_o the_o outward_a ininstrument_n which_o the_o devil_n use_v this_o instrument_n be_v not_o a_o snake_n but_o one_o of_o the_o great_a beast_n for_o nachash_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v a_o snake_n but_o also_o the_o beast_n which_o be_v call_v a_o serpent_n whereof_o there_o be_v diverse_a kind_n and_o some_o great_a than_o other_o behemoth_n be_v beast_n among_o which_o worm_n be_v not_o reckon_v and_o this_o serpent_n be_v match_v with_o they_o as_o one_o of_o they_o when_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o be_v curse_v above_o everye_o beast_n it_o be_v further_a say_v that_o if_o here_o by_o the_o name_n serpent_n be_v mean_v both_o the_o devil_n and_o a_o beast_n the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v make_v some_o distinction_n that_o we_o may_v be_v inform_v as_o though_o it_o be_v such_o a_o absurdity_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o story_n as_o it_o do_v at_o that_o time_n appear_v unto_o eva_n and_o to_o comprehend_v under_o the_o name_n of_o that_o which_o be_v visible_a &_o know_v be_v the_o instrument_n the_o chief_a worker_n who_o be_v unknown_a &_o invisible_a eva_n do_v not_o as_o yet_o know_v of_o the_o fall_n of_o angel_n she_o know_v no_o name_n of_o devil_n or_o satan_n she_o do_v not_o understande_v that_o there_o be_v a_o devil_n no_o doubt_n god_n do_v instruct_v both_o adam_n and_o eva_n that_o there_o be_v another_o beside_o that_o visible_a serpent_n when_o he_o promise_v they_o victory_n by_o christ_n further_o this_o be_v object_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v call_v a_o serpent_n by_o a_o allegory_n and_o therefore_o what_o necessity_n to_o take_v it_o there_o of_o a_o beast_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o devil_n indeed_o be_v by_o a_o metaphor_n call_v a_o serpent_n in_o many_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o in_o this_o place_n be_v no●…e_v but_o he_o the_o story_n do_v plain_o evince_v that_o he_o cover_v his_o practice_n by_o the_o beast_n and_o use_v he_o for_o his_o instrument_n have_v ever_o after_o the_o same_o name_n give_v unto_o he_o and_o for_o learned_a interpreter_n of_o that_o history_n as_o master_n clavine_n and_o other_o what_o juggle_n be_v it_o to_o allege_v some_o of_o their_o say_n contrary_a unto_o their_o meaning_n which_o do_v very_o well_o accord_n with_o this_o that_o the_o devil_n speak_v out_o of_o a_o beast_n indeed_o it_o be_v think_v a_o poor_a snake_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o curse_n lay_v upon_o he_o for_o how_o can_v he_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o sin_n this_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god._n i_o answer_v that_o master_n painter_n have_v deceive_v many_o which_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o snake_n and_o touch_v this_o beast_n the_o serpent_n it_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v accurse_v above_o every_o beast_n he_o be_v a_o ignorant_a man_n that_o know_v not_o that_o every_o beast_n and_o the_o very_a earth_n itself_o have_v a_o curse_n lay_v upon_o they_o for_o man_n sin_n they_o do_v not_o offend_v but_o be_v make_v for_o man_n sake_n then_o if_o god_n in_o justice_n lay_v a_o curse_n upon_o they_o as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v not_o 〈◊〉_d justice_n because_o they_o do_v not_o sin_n be_v blasphemy_n how_o shall_v it_o seem_v strange_a that_o

the_o chief_a and_o principal_a for_o the_o matter_n which_o i_o have_v undertake_v to_o show_v even_o by_o the_o very_a story_n that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o the_o devil_n but_o also_o a_o very_a corporal_a beast_n if_o this_o question_n be_v demand_v do_v eva_n know_v there_o be_v any_o devil_n or_o any_o wicked_a reprobate_a angel_n what_o man_n of_o knowledge_n will_v say_v that_o she_o
