therefore_o till_o further_a conviction_n to_o the_o contrary_a he_o will_v not_o be_v influence_v and_o wrought_v upon_o by_o any_o spirit_n of_o that_o order_n since_o i_o know_v and_o have_v hear_v that_o they_o be_v malicious_o bend_v against_o we_o and_o will_v do_v we_o much_o more_o mifchief_n than_o they_o do_v if_o they_o be_v not_o limit_v and_o restrain_v by_o a_o superior_a power_n but_o three_o as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v that_o such_o a_o man_n as_o i_o be_o now_o speak_v of_o will_v create_v and_o raise_v many_o argument_n to_o withstand_v the_o force_n and_o

against_o conviction_n and_o conversion_n and_o that_o be_v the_o unusualness_n of_o such_o kind_n of_o mean_n as_o a_o spirit_n or_o apparition_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o repentance_n it_o be_v true_a he_o have_v be_v haunt_v but_o why_o he_o above_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n the_o singularity_n of_o the_o thing_n will_v increase_v his_o doubt_n it_o the_o neighbourhood_n where_o he_o live_v be_v thus_o disturb_v or_o if_o any_o of_o his_o near_a acquaintance_n shall_v come_v and_o tell_v he_o that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n they_o be_v surprise_v by_o a_o ghost_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o if_o they_o continue_v in_o that_o course_n of_o life_n they_o so_o vigorous_o prosecute_v they_o will_v be_v as_o miserable_a as_o himself_o who_o suffer_v eternal_a torment_n for_o commit_v the_o very_a same_o sin_n they_o now_o live_v in_o this_o relation_n will_v indeed_o alarm_n he_o and_o make_v he_o suspect_v his_o present_a circumstance_n and_o leave_v those_o vice_n he_o be_v dissuade_v from_o but_o since_o none_o that_o he_o know_v of_o be_v thus_o handle_v he_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o credit_v the_o relation_n of_o the_o spirit_n if_o such_o mean_n of_o conviction_n be_v rational_a and_o powerful_a doubtless_o other_o will_v be_v afford_v they_o as_o well_o as_o he_o but_o since_o he_o hear_v nor_o know_v of_o none_o he_o shall_v not_o take_v thing_n upon_o trust_n but_o

christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n will_v also_o find_v out_o shift_n and_o way_n to_o evade_v the_o force_n and_o argument_n of_o a_o spirit_n shall_v one_o be_v send_v on_o purpose_n to_o convert_v they_o and_o that_o such_o method_n use_v for_o our_o conversion_n as_o a_o apparition_n or_o ghost_n will_v not_o persuade_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o thus_o be_v abraham_n answer_n make_v good_a to_o the_o rich_a man_n who_o importunate_o desire_v he_o to_o send_v lazarus_n from_o the_o dead_a to_o testify_v to_o his_o brethren_n for_o that_o they_o can_v not_o withstand_v the_o force_n of_o such_o a_o miracle_n wrought_v for_o their_o reformation_n no_o say_v abraham_n if_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n neither_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v though_o one_o
