chap._n iu._n for_o the_o reader_n must_v mind_v that_o witch_n and_o all_o those_o that_o do_v attain_v to_o the_o vision_n and_o hear_v voice_n within_o they_o they_o do_v use_v mean_n to_o attain_v

without_o they_o as_o people_n do_v vain_o imagine_v but_o the_o familiar_a spirit_n it_o be_v produce_v and_o do_v come_v from_o within_o for_o out_o of_o the_o heart_n come_v evil_a thought_n murder_n adultery_n etc._n etc._n and_o all_o familiar_a spirit_n they_o be_v all_o conceive_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o be_v conceive_v there_o in_o its_o season_n it_o bring_v forth_o such_o spirit_n as_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o heart_n if_o envy_n and_o murder_n be_v conceive_v as_o it_o be_v in_o cain_n than_o it_o bring_v forth_o the_o spirit_n or_o deed_n of_o murder_n if_o lust_n be_v conceive_v in_o the_o heart_n it_o bring_v forth_o the_o spirit_n and_o act_n of_o adultery_n as_o it_o do_v in_o david_n and_o if_o a_o familiar_a spirit_n be_v conceive_v in_o the_o heart_n than_o it_o bring_v forth_o such_o a_o spirit_n that_o shall_v speak_v motional_a voice_n within_o they_o as_o if_o some_o spirit_n without_o they_o do_v appear_v without_o a_o body_n and_o speak_v to_o they_o and_o reveal_v those_o thing_n unto_o they_o many_o wicked_a spirit_n more_o than_o be_v mention_v be_v conceive_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o act_v by_o they_o spirit_n essay_n that_o be_v never_o of_o god_n creation_n but_o have_v be_v conceive_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n since_o for_o when_o sin_n be_v conceive_v as_o in_o james_n 1.15_o when_o lust_n have_v

not_o die_v before_o it_o quicken_v into_o life_n that_o be_v into_o act_n than_o it_o bring_v forth_o death_n which_o be_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o such_o sin_n that_o be_v alive_a in_o man_n action_n after_o they_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o as_o the_o evil_a of_o murder_n adultery_n and_o theft_n be_v conceive_v first_o in_o the_o heart_n so_o be_v that_o familiar_a

the_o cause_n why_o god_n be_v more_o angry_a with_o those_o that_o deal_n with_o a_o familiar_a spirit_n and_o have_v command_v they_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n more_o than_o for_o other_o sin_n conceive_v in_o the_o mind_n be_v because_o they_o imitate_v the_o way_n of_o god_n or_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n which_o cause_v the_o people_n to_o believe_v in_o a_o mere_a fiction_n or_o

and_o afterward_o quicken_a in_o the_o evil_a heart_n it_o go_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n and_o from_o one_o degree_n of_o knowledge_n to_o a_o further_a degree_n of_o evil_a knowledge_n and_o
