to_o the_o creature_n but_o it_o be_v very_o absurd_a to_o think_v that_o disease_n shall_v speak_v and_o discourse_v with_o christ_n shall_v question_v and_o beseech_v he_o and_o acknowledge_v his_o divinity_n as_o these_o devil_n do_v but_o he_o proceed_v and_o say_v that_o he_o have_v not_o observe_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o any_o man_n be_v ever_o possess_v with_o any_o other_o corporeal_a spirit_n but_o that_o of_o his_o own_o that_o some_o man_n have_v be_v possess_v with_o other_o spirit_n beside_o their_o own_o be_v plain_a by_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n but_o whether_o these_o spirit_n be_v corporeal_a or_o incorporeal_a be_v not_o the_o question_n though_o neither_o divinity_n nor_o philosophy_n do_v acknowledge_v any_o corporeal_a spirit_n proper_o the_o

for_o different_a operation_n such_o as_o be_v in_o angel_n require_v different_a organ_n not_o heterogenial_a ●or_n so_o we_o must_v make_v angel_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n to_o be_v compose_v

the_o scripture_n ●aith_o that_o he_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n but_o i_o can_v admit_v that_o this_o temptation_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o vision_n for_o than_o we_o shall_v have_v small_a comfort_n by_o christ_n temptation_n if_o it_o be_v not_o real_a but_o imaginary_a or_o in_o a_o vision_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v admit_v this_o to_o be_v a_o vision_n we_o may_v suspect_v the_o

of_o all_o god_n child_n but_o how_o come_v mr_n hobbs_n to_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o know_v this_o to_o be_v a_o vision_n of_o which_o the_o evangelist_n make_v such_o a_o exact_a historical_a
