which_o may_v be_v make_v whether_o in_o these_o apparition_n there_o be_v only_a illusion_n and_o imagination_n or_o some_o thing_n true_o and_o real_o visible_a unto_o the_o outward_a sense_n as_o touch_v the_o real_a raise_n of_o the_o dead_a it_o be_v impossible_a unto_o the_o limit_a power_n of_o the_o devil_n either_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o body_n or_o soul_n to_o reduce_v or_o bring_v the_o dead_a back_n into_o this_o world_n or_o life_n or_o sense_n again_o because_o in_o death_n by_o the_o unchangeable_a and_o unalterable_a decree_n of_o god_n in_o his_o holy_a writ_n the_o body_n return_v into_o dust_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v and_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n who_o give_v it_o notwithstanding_o since_o the_o outward_a shape_n and_o figure_n and_o proportion_n of_o any_o substance_n and_o not_o the_o substance_n itself_o or_o creature_n be_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a object_n of_o the_o eye_n according_a to_o the_o philosopher_n who_o true_o say_v res_fw-la non_fw-la videntur_fw-la sed_fw-la rerum_fw-la species_n that_o be_v the_o substance_n or_o thing_n themselves_o be_v not_o offer_v nor_o come_v unto_o the_o sight_n but_o only_o their_o shape_n and_o outward_a figure_n as_o also_o for_o that_o common_a sense_n and_o experience_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n absurd_a and_o impossible_a that_o all_o those_o body_n and_o substance_n which_o in_o infinite_a number_n we_o daily_o see_v and_o behold_v real_o and_o material_o in_o their_o corporal_a substance_n and_o dimension_n shall_v be_v contain_v in_o the_o small_a body_n of_o the_o eye_n for_o these_o cause_n i_o say_v it_o be_v possible_a according_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o devil_n in_o these_o suppose_a apparition_n of_o the_o body_n and_o substance_n of_o dead_a man_n may_v present_v true_a real_a and_o natural_a object_n certain_a and_o assure_v unto_o the_o eye_n and_o sight_n if_o he_o can_v only_o present_v thereto_o the_o outward_a lively_a portraiture_n and_o shape_n of_o the_o substance_n or_o body_n though_o the_o body_n themselves_o be_v away_o that_o the_o devil_n can_v do_v this_o be_v no_o doubt_n for_o if_o man_n by_o art_n can_v usual_o divide_v the_o outward_a shape_n and_o figure_n of_o creature_n and_o substance_n from_o the_o substance_n and_o creature_n themselves_o as_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o look_a glass_n and_o the_o cunning_a painter_n can_v in_o another_o borrow_a substance_n separate_v from_o their_o true_a right_a and_o proper_a substance_n represent_v perfect_o the_o true_a and_o lively_a shape_n of_o man_n &_o other_o creature_n even_o when_o they_o be_v not_o only_o absent_a and_o remove_v in_o far_o distant_a place_n but_o when_o ofttimes_o they_o have_v many_o year_n be_v swallow_v of_o the_o grave_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v impossible_a unto_o the_o devil_n who_o certain_o be_v more_o than_o exquisite_a apelles_n excellent_a to_o offer_v and_o present_v unto_o the_o eye_n likewise_o any_o true_a shape_n whatsoever_o if_o he_o can_v offer_v the_o true_a shape_n as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v he_o do_v offer_v a_o true_a and_o perfect_a object_n and_o therefore_o that_o which_o be_v true_o and_o certain_o manifest_v to_o sense_n although_o speech_n and_o the_o motion_n thereof_o without_o another_o visible_a body_n to_o sustain_v it_o be_v impossible_a unto_o shape_n and_o

that_o the_o suppose_a apparition_n which_o the_o devil_n do_v offer_v of_o dead_a man_n may_v be_v esteem_v and_o reckon_v among_o such_o supernatural_a work_n of_o devil_n and_o sorcerer_n as_o
