A65369 The displaying of supposed witchcraft wherein is affirmed that there are many sorts of deceivers and impostors and divers persons under a passive delusion of melancholy and fancy, but that there is a corporeal league made betwixt the Devil and the witch ... is utterly denied and disproved : wherein also is handled, the existence of angels and spirits, the truth of apparitions, the nature of astral and sydereal spirits, the force of charms, and philters, with other abstruse matters / by John Webster ... Webster, John, 1610-1682. 1677 (1677) Wing W1230; ESTC R12517 396,606 368

there_o be_v another_o way_n more_o extraordinary_a wherein_o as_o a_o instrument_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o cause_v disease_n and_o sometime_o death_n as_o in_o that_o case_n of_o david_n number_v

the_o lord_n repent_v he_o of_o the_o evil_a and_o say_v to_o the_o angel_n that_o destroy_v the_o people_n it_o be_v enough_o now_o stay_v thy_o hand_n and_o herod_n for_o assume_v to_o himself_o

which_o we_o shall_v speak_v large_o where_o we_o handle_v the_o opinion_n of_o van_n helmont_n concern_v the_o action_n of_o witch_n here_o only_o we_o shall_v say_v thus_o much_o that_o the_o

stimulate_v they_o to_o seek_v for_o all_o mean_n by_o which_o they_o may_v accomplish_v their_o intend_a wickedness_n and_o so_o they_o learn_v all_o the_o wicked_a and_o secret_a way_n of_o hurt_v poison_v &_o kill_v but_o yet_o we_o affirm_v that_o what_o evil_n soever_o they_o perform_v it_o be_v by_o cause_n and_o mean_n that_o work_v natural_o and_o so_o the_o evil_n be_v only_o in_o the_o use_n and_o application_n and_o not_o in_o the_o efficient_n or_o mean_n and_o whereas_o he_o hold_v that_o devil_n as_o they_o can_v cause_v disease_n so_o they_o can_v cure_v they_o and_o take_v they_o away_o we_o must_v crave_v to_o be_v excuse_v if_o we_o can_v subscribe_v to_o his_o opinion_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o of_o their_o cause_v of_o disease_n we_o have_v sufficient_a evidence_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o of_o their_o cure_n of_o any_o we_o have_v not_o any_o mention_n at_o all_o and_o though_o some_o will_v think_v this_o but_o weak_a because_o it_o be_v negative_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a but_o as_o it_o express_v the_o one_o full_o so_o it_o will_v have_v give_v some_o hint_n of_o the_o other_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o such_o matter_n 2._o but_o the_o scripture_n do_v inform_v we_o that_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_v or_o cure_v disease_n be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o devil_n by_o their_o creation_n much_o less_o since_o as_o a_o gift_n bestow_v upon_o they_o but_o flow_v sole_o from_o god_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o good_a angel_n of_o who_o raphael_n that_o be_v the_o medicine_n or_o health_n of_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o that_o it_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v most_o plain_a for_o to_o one_o be_v give_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o word_n of_o 9_o wisdom_n to_o another_o the_o word_n of_o knowledge_n by_o the_o same_o spirit_n to_o another_o say_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n to_o another_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n but_o these_o gift_n of_o heal_a be_v not_o give_v to_o devil_n but_o to_o the_o choose_v one_o of_o god_n and_o the_o psalmist_n where_o he_o be_v speak_v how_o god_n afflict_a and_o bring_v low_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o sin_n say_v their_o soul_n abhor_v all_o manner_n of_o meat_n and_o they_o draw_v near_o 20._o unto_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n but_o he_o send_v his_o word_n and_o heal_v they_o and_o god_n declare_v that_o if_o his_o people_n israel_n will_v keep_v his_o statute_n he_o will_v bring_v none_o of_o those_o disease_n upon_o they_o that_o he_o have_v threaten_v for_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n that_o heal_v thou_o and_o this_o he_o do_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o good_a angel_n or_o by_o natural_a mean_n and_o not_o by_o devil_n 3._o that_o

such_o strange_a thing_n as_o witchmonger_n fond_o and_o false_o believe_v can_v be_v perform_v or_o effect_v therefore_o by_o way_n of_o conclusion_n in_o this_o particular_a we_o grant_v that_o

est_fw-la consuetudinis_fw-la imperium_fw-la and_o that_o this_o be_v one_o main_a cause_n of_o this_o delusion_n be_v manifest_a from_o all_o the_o best_a historian_n that_o where_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v least_o appear_v and_o where_o there_o be_v the_o great_a brutish_a ignorance_n and_o heathenish_a barbarism_n there_o the_o great_a store_n of_o these_o delude_a witch_n
