detestation_n of_o such_o like_a impiety_n but_o here_o may_v you_o say_v lie_v there_o a_o deep_a question_n because_o i_o impose_v the_o name_n of_o miracle_n both_o to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o the_o prestigious_a illusion_n of_o the_o devil_n confound_v they_o in_o name_n which_o be_v different_a in_o nature_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v not_o without_o authority_n that_o the_o devil_n action_n be_v unproper_o miracle_n god_n true_o the_o one_o do_v by_o preparation_n the_o other_o sudden_o the_o one_o to_o delude_v the_o other_o to_o confirm_v the_o one_o to_o hinder_v the_o other_o to_o profit_v man_n those_o then_o that_o work_n by_o the_o devil_n do_v miracle_n unproperlie_o and_o herein_o be_v the_o true_a confound_v with_o the_o false_a in_o denomination_n because_o we_o can_v distinguish_v of_o the_o suddenness_n in_o performance_n or_o the_o speediness_n in_o execution_n some_o suppose_v and_o define_v a_o miracle_n to_o be_v a_o unaccustomed_a action_n wrought_v above_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n wherein_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v one_o that_o it_o excee_v the_o ability_n of_o nature_n the_o other_o that_o it_o surpass_v common_a custom_n where_o upon_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o creation_n of_o a_o humane_a soul_n be_v not_o proper_o a_o miracle_n for_o although_o the_o creation_n thereof_o excee_v the_o power_n of_o nature_n yet_o since_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n accustom_v and_o god_n creat_v soul_n daily_o it_o may_v not_o right_o be_v call_v a_o miracle_n again_o a_o child_n bear_v with_o seven_o finger_n a_o man_n with_o two_o head_n a_o woman_n with_o sour_a arm_n and_o such_o like_a can_v in_o right_o be_v hold_v miraculous_a for_o although_o such_o creation_n be_v unaccustomed_a yet_o excee_v they_o not_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n because_o from_o natural_a cause_n there_o may_v follow_v such_o like_a effect_n to_o conclude_v therefore_o positivelie_o of_o miracle_n and_o their_o nature_n i_o assure_v you_o that_o thing_n do_v sudden_o by_o assistance_n of_o divine_a virtue_n for_o confirmation_n of_o truth_n and_o demonstration_n of_o god_n power_n and_o wisdom_n for_o erudition_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o conversion_n of_o the_o reprobat_fw-la be_v right_o miracle_n but_o matter_n wrought_v with_o intention_n of_o deceit_n fruit_n of_o subtle_a insinuation_n these_o be_v the_o improper_a miracle_n of_o magician_n who_o contend_v with_o moses_n and_o aaron_n before_o pharaoh_n do_v secundum_fw-la rem_fw-la as_o the_o schoolman_n say_v but_o not_o secundum_fw-la modum_fw-la there_o be_v a_o question_n likewise_o what_o magician_n do_v in_o perform_v their_o miracle_n namely_o whether_o they_o prepare_v the_o matter_n only_o or_o induce_v the_o form_n likewise_o to_o which_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o they_o prepare_v the_o matter_n only_o &_o have_v no_o power_n to_o inform_v for_o as_o father_n be_v not_o hold_v the_o creator_n of_o their_o child_n nor_o husbandman_n the_o maker_n of_o their_o fruit_n though_o in_o create_v of_o these_o god_n power_n inward_o work_v by_o admission_n and_o sufferance_n of_o their_o exterior_a motion_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o lawful_a to_o think_v that_o good_a or_o evil_a angel_n create_v or_o magician_n the_o minister_n of_o they_o inform_v but_o to_o he_o only_o may_v creation_n be_v ascribe_v by_o who_o power_n and_o word_n allthinge_n be_v create_v again_o in_o work_a thing_n miraculous_a this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o impious_a only_o work_v by_o permission_n the_o virtuous_a by_o impression_n and_o assistance_n the_o good_a be_v enable_v by_o god_n to_o perform_v the_o bad_a induce_v by_o the_o devil_n to_o deceive_v god_n only_o likewise_o be_v say_v to_o do_v miracle_n by_o authority_n angel_n and_o holy_a man_n dispositive_o bad_a man_n and_o magician_n permissive_o neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v wonder_v that_o magician_n raise_v storm_n choke_v a_o increase_n procure_v abortion_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n which_o the_o bless_a do_v not_o because_o this_o power_n be_v restrain_v in_o the_o saint_n for_o fear_v least_o weaken_v by_o pernicious_a error_n they_o shall_v be_v deceive_v suppose_v there_o be_v great_a gift_n in_o such_o like_a effect_n then_o in_o the_o work_n of_o justice_n whereby_o the_o soul_n be_v enlighten_v and_o eternal_a life_n gain_v and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n luke_n 10._o rejoice_v not_o in_o this_o because_o spirit_n be_v subject_a unto_o you_o but_o rejoice_v because_o your_o name_n be_v write_v in_o heaven_n there_o be_v likewise_o a_o controversy_n among_o the_o learned_a debate_v by_o many_o argument_n whether_o magician_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n may_v local_o change_v or_o speedy_o transfer_v the_o body_n of_o man_n or_o beast_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o it_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o tradition_n and_o confirm_v by_o the_o mistake_v that_o old_a woman_n have_v be_v transport_v by_o spirit_n from_o place_n to_o place_n magician_n from_o country_n to_o country_n and_o scholar_n from_o paris_n to_o rome_n &_o on_o these_o ground_n there_o be_v many_o opinion_n some_o ascribe_v these_o work_n to_o the_o illusion_n of_o the_o sense_n other_o utter_o deny_v any_o such_o ability_n notwithstanding_o the_o reform_a opinion_n be_v that_o both_o devil_n and_o magician_n their_o minister_n may_v remove_v and_o transfer_v the_o body_n of_o man_n from_o place_n to_o place_n because_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o job_n child_n where_o evil_a spirit_n overthrow_v the_o house_n on_o their_o head_n again_o have_v power_n to_o adhibit_v corporal_a seed_n to_o produce_v some_o certain_a effect_n it_o follow_v they_o have_v power_n to_o remove_v body_n because_o right_o effect_n can_v be_v produce_v except_o local_a motion_n be_v make_v &_o admit_v there_o be_v likewise_o a_o question_n why_o woman_n be_v soon_o trouble_v and_o more_o oftentimes_o deceive_v by_o the_o devil_n than_o man_n be_v to_o which_o the_o answer_n be_v for_o two_o cause_n first_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o credulity_n next_o because_o of_o their_o frailty_n and_o infirmity_n their_o credulity_n appear_v in_o that_o they_o be_v first_o and_o soon_a tempt_v their_o fragility_n in_o that_o they_o be_v more_o prone_a to_o lust_n and_o therefore_o peter_n call_v woman_n the_o weak_a vessel_n because_o they_o be_v soon_o wrought_v and_o because_o carnal_a desire_n be_v the_o aim_n of_o magician_n and_o woman_n by_o nature_n be_v more_o flexible_a it_o common_o fall_v out_o that_o there_o be_v more_o woman_n witch_n than_o man_n beside_o for_o their_o credulity_n sake_n paul_n permit_v they_o not_o to_o teach_v least_o be_v themselves_o deceive_v they_o shall_v pervert_v

may_v perhaps_o feel_v more_o than_o you_o wish_v you_o deceive_v yourself_o quoth_v anthony_n for_o shall_v they_o hear_v their_o infirmity_n they_o will_v take_v little_a cause_n to_o presume_v so_o much_o on_o their_o excellency_n this_o be_v beside_o the_o te●●_n say_v asterius_n let_v we_o return_v to_o our_o purpose_n and_o resolve_v we_o good_a hermit_n whether_o devil_n or_o enchanter_n may_v alterate_a body_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o quality_n procure_v sickness_n inflict_v infirmity_n and_o restore_v health_n by_o their_o own_o virtue_n answer_v anthony_n neither_o can_v devil_n or_o magician_n either_o in_o natural_a or_o material_a thing_n immeadiat_o induce_v any_o form_n either_o by_o procure_v health_n or_o induce_v sickness_n by_o urge_v heat_n or_o increase_v cold_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o they_o can_v induce_v one_o form_n they_o may_v induce_v all_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v both_o nature_n and_o the_o whole_a world_n shall_v be_v subject_a unto_o they_o but_o since_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n have_v not_o subject_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o the_o good_a and_o bless_a angel_n it_o follow_v that_o by_o no_o mean_n or_o reason_n it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o these_o visible_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o beck_n and_o service_n of_o the_o transgressive_a and_o accurse_a angel_n another_o conclusion_n be_v that_o magician_n can_v miraculous_o change_v both_o the_o matter_n and_o nature_n of_o body_n apply_v the_o seed_n of_o thing_n and_o join_v active_a with_o passive_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o even_o as_o art_n which_o imitate_v nature_n can_v effect_v diverse_a thing_n which_o nature_n itself_o can_v so_o devil_n can_v do_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v beyond_o man_n reach_n above_o all_o art_n and_o beside_o the_o accustom_a course_n
