history_n who_o be_v one_o that_o favour_v this_o wicked_a craft_n no_o man_n more_o have_v sufficient_a store_n of_o wealth_n and_o power_n and_o magician_n send_v for_o from_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confer_v with_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o in_o the_o end_n leave_v it_o as_o vain_a and_o frivolous_a and_o common_a experience_n do_v teach_v we_o even_o the_o very_a same_o for_o whosoever_o shall_v look_v into_o the_o deal_n of_o those_o person_n which_o be_v account_v the_o only_a cunning_a man_n in_o the_o world_n among_o we_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o they_o use_v no_o other_o outward_a mean_n but_o a_o sort_n of_o charm_n the_o most_o of_o they_o so_o ridiculous_a and_o foolish_a that_o a_o wise_a man_n must_v needs_o laugh_v at_o they_o and_o every_o one_o that_o have_v but_o a_o spark_n of_o religion_n to_o loath_a &_o detest_v they_o which_o be_v either_o new_o devise_v by_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o minister_n or_o else_o receive_v afore_o by_o tradition_n from_o one_o to_o another_o and_o if_o so_o be_v they_o use_v good_a word_n and_o sensible_a which_o be_v very_o seldom_o in_o all_o point_n yet_o be_v they_o utter_v with_o a_o evil_a intent_n think_v by_o they_o alone_o to_o work_v such_o wonder_n as_o the_o exorcist_n do_v here_o see_v that_o the_o word_n of_o themselves_o can_v do_v nothing_o how_o glorious_a soever_o they_o appear_v without_o further_a authority_n and_o power_n from_o god_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o this_o vain_a &_o wicked_a craft_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o same_o have_v many_o favourer_n in_o the_o world_n especial_o of_o those_o that_o be_v profane_a and_o want_v knowledge_n in_o religion_n the_o which_o also_o have_v devise_v many_o reason_n to_o uphold_v the_o say_a craft_n whereof_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a i_o will_v here_o recite_v and_o first_o they_o say_v that_o these_o cunning_a man_n do_v use_v no_o evil_a mean_n and_o especial_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o this_o their_o work_n for_o faith_o they_o the_o devil_n neither_o can_v nor_o will_v do_v any_o good_a but_o these_o cunning_a folk_n do_v good_a and_o therefore_o they_o do_v it_o not_o by_o the_o devil_n or_o by_o any_o evil_a mean_n to_o answer_v unto_o this_o argument_n we_o must_v more_o deep_o weigh_v and_o consider_v of_o the_o matter_n than_o it_o seem_v that_o those_o which_o frame_v this_o argument_n do_v for_o i_o think_v they_o understand_v not_o what_o they_o mean_v themselves_o by_o this_o word_n good_a if_o they_o understand_v thereby_o that_o which_o be_v absolute_o altogether_o always_o and_o in_o all_o respect_n good_a than_o we_o deny_v their_o assumption_n for_o in_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n alone_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v in_o the_o 19_o cap._n of_o the_o gospel_n after_o saint_n matth._n vers_fw-la 17._o as_o for_o all_o other_o creature_n they_o be_v good_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o please_v god_n the_o chief_a goodness_n to_o esteem_v and_o accept_v of_o they_o for_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o gen._n vers_fw-la 31._o and_o god_n see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o lo_o it_o be_v very_o good_a we_o must_v understand_v by_o goodness_n the_o perfect_a estate_n of_o all_o thing_n both_o general_o and_o particular_o whereby_o they_o be_v conformable_a to_o the_o will_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n who_o approve_v they_o when_o they_o be_v make_v for_o no_o creature_n be_v good_a of_o itself_o first_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n approve_v but_o because_o god_n approve_v it_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a now_o the_o lord_n seem_v to_o have_v approve_v these_o his_o creature_n in_o three_o especial_a respect_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o beauty_n comeliness_n and_o glory_n of_o all_o and_o every_o creature_n in_o their_o kind_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o excellent_a virtue_n which_o god_n give_v to_o every_o thing_n for_o as_o he_o have_v make_v nothing_o in_o vain_a but_o every_o thing_n to_o some_o especial_a end_n so_o have_v he_o furnish_v the_o same_o with_o sufficient_a power_n and_o virtue_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o same_o end_n three_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o exceed_a benefit_n and_o profit_n which_o come_v by_o they_o unto_o man_n as_o for_o the_o two_o first_o no_o man_n will_v say_v that_o in_o those_o respect_v these_o cunning_a folk_n can_v or_o do_v any_o good_a by_o reason_n that_o they_o concern_v the_o creature_n themselves_o alone_o without_o any_o reference_n unto_o man_n and_o we_o know_v that_o no_o man_n can_v make_v no_o not_o one_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n white_a or_o black_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 5_o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthewes_n gospel_n vers_fw-la 36._o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o the_o three_o respect_n which_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o profit_n that_o redound_v thereby_o unto_o man_n so_o that_o their_o meaning_n be_v that_o whatsoever_o do_v exhibit_v do_v or_o procure_v any_o benefit_n or_o profit_n unto_o any_o man_n be_v by_o their_o reason_n say_v to_o do_v he_o good_a but_o let_v they_o consider_v this_o that_o albeit_o at_o the_o first_o the_o lord_n create_v every_o thing_n very_o good_a yet_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n this_o goodness_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v partly_o corrupt_v and_o partly_o diminish_v not_o only_o in_o the_o two_o first_o respect_n but_o also_o &_o that_o especial_o in_o the_o last_o for_o whereas_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n make_v for_o man_n use_n so_o when_o man_n have_v transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n both_o man_n himself_o fall_v from_o that_o integrity_n of_o nature_n wherein_o he_o be_v first_o create_v be_v now_o corrupt_v and_o deprave_a as_o well_o in_o all_o the_o power_n &_o faculty_n of_o the_o body_n as_o of_o the_o mind_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o punishment_n lay_v upon_o the_o man_n and_o likewise_o upon_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o 3._o chapter_n of_o genesis_n in_o so_o much_o as_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o 7._o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n vers_fw-la 18._o in_o the_o name_n or_o person_n of_o all_o man_n confess_v that_o in_o he_o that_o be_v in_o his_o flesh_n whereby_o be_v mean_v the_o whole_a man_n as_o he_o be_v now_o by_o nature_n consist_v both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v no_o good_a yea_o that_o we_o can_v think_v a_o good_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 2._o epist._n cor._n cap._n 3._o vers_fw-la 5._o and_o also_o the_o lord_n curse_v the_o earth_n for_o man_n sake_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a 3._o chapter_n of_o genesis_n the_o whole_a creature_n be_v now_o subject_a unto_o vanity_n as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v to_o the_o roman_n cap._n 8._o so_o that_o the_o creature_n be_v not_o now_o so_o profitable_a unto_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o natural_a man_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o 1._o chapter_n to_o titus_n vers_n 15._o that_o to_o those_o that_o be_v defile_v and_o unbelieved_a nothing_o be_v pure_a but_o their_o mind_n and_o conscience_n be_v defile_v whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o before_o god_n have_v purify_v the_o heart_n by_o say_v nothing_o can_v do_v he_o good_a nothing_o be_v pure_a unto_o he_o but_o even_o as_o a_o impure_a vessel_n defile_v whatsoever_o be_v put_v into_o it_o so_o whatsoever_o happen_v unto_o the_o wicked_a it_o be_v for_o their_o further_a damnation_n and_o what_o do_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n if_o he_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v in_o the_o 16._o chapter_n of_o s._n matthewes_n gospel_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o no_o man_n be_v altogether_o regenerate_v in_o this_o life_n but_o have_v always_o the_o flesh_n strive_v and_o lust_a against_o the_o spirit_n gal._n c._n 5._o v._n 17._o therefore_o it_o please_v god_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v
