to_o believe_v there_o be_v none_o by_o reason_n they_o will_v themselves_o confess_v it_o if_o strict_o examine_v to_o which_o my_o lord_n answer_v that_o though_o for_o his_o part_n he_o care_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v witch_n or_o no_o yet_o his_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o confession_n of_o witch_n and_o their_o suffering_n for_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o erroneous_a belief_n viz._n that_o they_o have_v make_v a_o contract_n with_o the_o devil_n to_o serve_v he_o for_o such_o reward_n as_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o give_v they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v their_o religion_n to_o worship_n and_o adore_v he_o in_o which_o religion_n they_o have_v such_o a_o firm_a and_o constant_a belief_n that_o if_o any_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o their_o desire_n they_o believe_v the_o devil_n have_v hear_v their_o prayer_n and_o grant_v their_o request_n for_o which_o they_o give_v he_o thanks_o but_o if_o thing_n fall_v out_o contrary_a to_o their_o prayer_n and_o desire_n than_o they_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o fear_v they_o have_v offend_v he_o or_o not_o serve_v he_o as_o they_o ought_v and_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n for_o their_o offence_n also_o say_v my_o lord_n they_o imagine_v that_o their_o dream_n be_v real_a exterior_a action_n for_o example_n if_o they_o dream_v they_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n or_o out_o of_o the_o chimney_n top_n or_o that_o they_o be_v turn_v into_o several_a shape_n they_o believe_v no_o otherwise_o but_o that_o it_o be_v real_o so_o and_o this_o wicked_a opinion_n make_v they_o industrious_a to_o perform_v such_o ceremony_n to_o the_o devil_n that_o they_o adore_v and_o worship_v he_o as_o their_o god_n and_o choose_v to_o live_v and_o die_v for_o he_o thus_o my_o lord_n declare_v himself_o concern_v witches_n which_o mr._n hobbes_n be_v also_o please_v to_o insert_v in_o his_o forementioned_a book_n but_o yet_o my_o lord_n do_v not_o count_v this_o opinion_n of_o his_o so_o universal_a as_o if_o there_o be_v none_o but_o imaginary_a witch_n for_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v but_o of_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o witch_n as_o make_v it_o their_o religion_n to_o worship_v the_o devil_n in_o the_o manner_n aforesaid_a nor_o do_v he_o think_v it_o a_o crime_n to_o entertain_v what_o opinion_n seem_v most_o probable_a to_o he_o in_o thing_n indifferent_a for_o in_o such_o case_n man_n may_v discourse_v and_o argue_v as_o they_o please_v to_o exercise_v their_o wit_n and_o may_v change_v and_o alter_v their_o opinion_n upon_o more_o probable_a ground_n and_o reason_n whereas_o in_o fundamental_a matter_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n he_o be_v so_o strict_a a_o adherent_a to_o they_o that_o he_o will_v never_o maintain_v or_o defend_v such_o opinion_n which_o be_v in_o the_o least_o prejudicial_a to_o either_o one_o proof_n more_o i_o will_v add_v to_o confirm_v his_o natural_a understanding_n and_o judgement_n which_o be_v upon_o some_o discourse_n i_o hold_v with_o he_o one_o time_n concern_v that_o famous_a chemist_n van_n helmont_n who_o in_o his_o write_n be_v very_o invective_n against_o the_o schoolman_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n accuse_v they_o for_o take_v the_o radical_a moisture_n for_o the_o fat_a of_o animal_n body_n whereupon_o my_o lord_n answer_v that_o sure_o the_o schoolman_n man_n be_v too_o wise_a to_o commit_v such_o a_o error_n for_o say_v he_o the_o radical_a moisture_n be_v not_o the_o fat_a or_o tallow_n of_o a_o animal_n but_o a_o oily_a and_o balsamous_a substance_n for_o the_o fat_a and_o tallow_n as_o also_o the_o watery_a part_n be_v cold_a whereas_o the_o oily_a and_o balsamous_a part_n have_v at_o all_o time_n a_o lively_a heat_n which_o make_v that_o those_o creature_n which_o have_v much_o of_o that_o oil_n or_o balsam_n be_v long-lived_a and_o appear_v young_a and_o not_o only_a animal_n but_o also_o vegetable_n which_o have_v much_o of_o that_o oil_n or_o balsam_n as_o ivy_n bayes_n laurel_n holly_n and_o the_o like_a live_v long_o and_o appear_v fresh_a and_o green_a not_o only_o in_o winter_n but_o when_o they_o be_v old_a then_o i_o ask_v my_o lord_n opinion_n concern_v the_o radical_a heat_n to_o which_o he_o answer_v that_o the_o radical_a heat_n live_v in_o the_o radical_a moisture_n and_o when_o the_o one_o decay_a the_o other_o decay_v also_o and_o then_o be_v produce_v either_o a_o unnatural_a heat_n which_o cause_v a_o unnatural_a dryness_n or_o a_o unnatural_a moisture_n which_o cause_v dropsy_n and_o these_o a_o unnatural_a coldness_n last_o his_o natural_a wit_n appear_v by_o his_o delight_n

for_o they_o be_v compose_v of_o these_o three_o ingredient_n viz._n wit_n humour_n and_o satire_n and_o his_o chief_a design_n in_o they_o be_v to_o divulge_v and_o laugh_v at_o the_o folly_n of_o mankind_n to_o persecute_v vice_n and_o to_o encourage_v virtue_n 10._o of_o his_o natural_a humour_n and_o disposition_n my_o lord_n may_v just_o be_v compare_v to_o titus_n the_o deliciae_fw-la of_o
