certain_o so_o aurea_fw-la as_o that_o s._n donston_n do_v hold_v the_o devil_n fast_o by_o the_o nose_n with_o a_o pair_n of_o pincer_n the_o very_a first_o day_n he_o appear_v unto_o he_o in_o

lycanthropus_n with_o very_o good_a will_n wherein_o first_o from_o the_o like_a i_o do_v reason_n thus_o the_o good_a angel_n of_o god_n they_o have_v appear_v to_o man_n in_o assume_v body_n therefore_o spirit_n and_o devil_n they_o may_v also_o appear_v unto_o man_n in_o assume_v body_n orthodoxus_n your_o argument_n be_v faulty_a the_o same_o not_o consist_v of_o thing_n essential_o

therefore_o the_o evil_a angel_n or_o devil_n be_v able_a to_o do_v the_o like_a again_o howsoever_o the_o good_a angel_n have_v at_o some_o time_n assume_v essential_a body_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o appear_v and_o yourself_o can_v prove_v that_o they_o create_v those_o body_n themselves_o but_o by_o the_o provident_a power_n and_o appointment_n of_o god_n they_o have_v they_o from_o else_o where_o for_o that_o special_a service_n whereunto_o they_o be_v send_v moreover_o there_o be_v no_o sound_a consequence_n in_o this_o viz._n good_a angel_n they_o do_v visible_a appear_v unto_o man_n in_o assume_v body_n therefore_o evil_a angel_n they_o do_v the_o like_a this_o i_o say_v do_v not_o follow_v because_o of_o the_o good_a angel_n appear_v in_o visible_a body_n we_o have_v have_v often_o and_o manifest_a experience_n but_o of_o the_o evil_a angel_n appear_v so_o no_o example_n or_o instance_n at_o all_o can_v be_v give_v brief_o your_o argument_n be_v but_o a_o deceaveable_a elench_v esse_fw-la from_o a_o may_v be_v to_o the_o be_v indeed_o whereof_o no_o certain_a conclusion_n can_v follow_v for_o thus_o you_o reason_n good_a angel_n have_v appear_v to_o man_n in_o assume_v body_n therefore_o spirit_n and_o devil_n they_o may_v also_o appear_v unto_o man_n in_o assume_v body_n this_o your_o may_v be_v conclude_v nothing_o for_o certain_a whereas_o you_o shall_v have_v argue_v thus_o good_a angel_n appear_v in_o assume_v body_n therefore_o spirit_n and_o devil_n do_v appear_v unto_o man_n in_o assume_v body_n but_o then_o your_o consequent_a will_v have_v be_v overhard_v to_o prove_v and_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a question_n itself_o by_o the_o premise_n than_o it_o be_v very_o apparent_a that_o this_o your_o first_o reason_n have_v in_o it_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o to_o support_v your_o opinion_n lycanthropus_n but_o since_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o good_a angel_n do_v oftentimes_o appear_v in_o assume_v body_n why_o shall_v not_o spirit_n and_o devil_n be_v able_a to_o do_v the_o like_a orthodoxus_n as_o though_o because_o the_o omnipotent_a god_n do_v furnish_v and_o endow_v his_o heavenly_a messenger_n with_o sensible_a body_n when_o and_o so_o oft_o as_o seem_v good_a to_o himself_o therefore_o every_o impotent_a and_o infernal_a spirit_n or_o devil_n be_v able_a also_o to_o do_v the_o like_a at_o their_o pleasure_n lycanthropus_n why_o may_v not_o the_o lord_n do_v as_o much_o for_o spirit_n and_o devil_n orthodoxus_n the_o lord_n may_v do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v that_o it_o will_v be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n to_o do_v this_o which_o you_o dream_v of_o who_o can_v certain_o say_v his_o pleasure_n in_o the_o one_o have_v be_v make_v apparent_a unto_o we_o by_o often_o experience_n for_o the_o other_o we_o have_v neither_o word_n nor_o promise_n nor_o example_n to_o my_o remembrance_n exorcist_n yes_o 49._o there_o be_v a_o plain_a proof_n hereof_o in_o the_o psalm_n where_o david_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o lord_n pour_v forth_o the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o the_o egyptian_n by_o send_v his_o evil_a angel_n among_o they_o orthodoxus_n what_o understand_v you_o by_o the_o evil_a angel_n there_o exorcist_n those_o spirit_n and_o devil_n wherewith_o they_o be_v daily_o torment_v orthodoxus_n consider_v diligent_o the_o story_n concern_v the_o egyptian_a plague_n ibid._n and_o tell_v i_o where_o you_o find_v any_o one_o devil_n afflict_v they_o nay_o tell_v i_o what_o one_o plague_n be_v among_o they_o which_o be_v not_o inflict_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o message_n and_o ministry_n of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v deep_o deceive_v in_o mistake_v these_o word_n by_o send_v the_o angel_n or_o messenger_n of_o evil_n which_o place_n tremellius_n understand_v not_o of_o spirit_n and_o devil_n send_v among_o they_o but_o of_o moses_n and_o aaron_n rather_o who_o the_o lord_n send_v to_o the_o egyptian_n as_o his_o only_a angel_n that_o be_v the_o only_a messenger_n and_o executioner_n of_o all_o those_o his_o evil_n which_o be_v cast_v upon_o egypt_n and_o this_o sense_n be_v in_o my_o opinion_n according_a to_o the_o
