And those that rebelled and took not counsell of the Lord the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up quick and their houses and all their goods they and all that appertained unto them went down alive into the pit and the earth closed upon them and they perished from amongst the Congregation and their cry was great when they went down quick into the pit for their rebellion against the Lord and there came a fire from the Lord and consumed 200. and 50. men for offering incense that were disobedient to the word of the Lord and there was 14. thousand and 700 dyed of the plague for their rebellion Numb. 16. which were sinners against the Lord and also against their own souls Now that you are warned if you go to Wizards take what followeth for you sin wilfully against the Lord and also against your own souls and the light of God in all your consciences will witnesse with me and the Scriptures if you go any more to Witches or Wizards you are in danger of loosing soul and body goods and all by the righteous judgements and plagues that may follow you for your rebellion as those examples that are instanced before you read also Jude 5 6 7. 2.

All you that turn from the light of Christ Jesus in your consciences which sheweth you sin and evill you turn from the counsell of God and from the holy command as Cain did and err'd from the spirit of truth and turned into the seat of darknesse where Witchcraft is hatched and all evil is invented and so you entering into union with the prince of darknesse the spirit that ruleth in the children of disobedience that turn from the light into the fear of darknesse you become inventours of evil things and follow that which is evil

Jesus Judas is the way to perdition and destruction Daniel Bott the light of Christ in thy conscience which did convince thee of the evil of thy heart and did cause thee to confesse the same that light is my witnesse for the truth against thy deceit and in thy condemnation remember that in thy life time thou wast warned who received not the truth with the love of it as to continue therein but taketh plagues in thy unrighteousnesse as such did which were enemies to the truth as thou art therefore great is thy condemnation as theirs was 2. Thes. 2. 12. offences must come as it is written in Scripture but wo to thee and them by whom ye do come it were better that a milstone were hanged about the necks and be cast into the sea then to offend one that believes in the Lord Jesus as thou and such may read Math. 18. 6 7. to the truth of this against the deceit that in the conscience shall witnesse in the terrible day of the Lords fierce wrath revealed from heaven in flames of fire upon the children of disobedience who are enemies to the truth of the Lord Jesus as thou hast read thy condition 2. Thes. 1. 6 7 8 9. answered with that in thy conscience which thou hast back-slided from and disobedient to but the light is the same that it was and though thou beest backslided from it yet it stands a witness against thee who hast erred from the truth and wouldst have overthrown the faith of some as Hymeneus and Philetus did but the spirit of truth witnesseth against thee as it did against them by such as live in the faith of the son of God as he did which said none the least he foreknoweth them that are his and let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity Gal. 2. 20. 2. Tim. 2. 17 18 19. but thou and all such as depart from the light turns into the iniquity who art found in that mistery the workers of iniquity and saith Christ though ye have prophesied in my Name and be found in the work of iniquity I will say I know you not depart from me you that be workers of iniquitie 2 Thess. 2. 1 2. to the 13. verse Matth. 7. 12. 23.

That was nothing at all to prove Sorcery and Inchantments thou Beast God did never say that by them they should use Inchantments and lying divinations and cast figures and tell fortunes as Sorcerers and Witches and black Artists Nicromancers Wizards that do divine lyes which thing God abhorres and all lyars and diviners for mony like thee Read Deut. 18. 10 11. But God set the Stars in the firmament of heaven to praise him and to be for lights upon the earth and God made two great lights the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night he made the Stars also and God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth and not for Witches to cast figures and Iyars to divine for mony by them but he set them to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darknesse and God saw that it was good as it is written and witnessed Gen. 1. 15 16 17 18. Secondly the Sun Moon and Stars were set in the firmament of heaven to know the regiment or government thereof and to hold forth the wisdom of God to praise him in the host of heaven in his wonderous works above the earth and not for fortune-tellers and Inchanters to divine for mony by them as Wizards and thou diviner of lies wouldst have them let the Scriptures be witnesse against thee and the Star-gazers Wizards and all that divine for mony thereby who would have the Scriptures to bear thee out in that which they witnesse against thee for acting contrary to them Thirdly the Stars were not set in the firmament for such as thou art to tell destinies or fortunes by nor to divine lyes for mony by nor to cast figures by to cast a mist before peoples eyes to deceive them by Witchcrafts as Wizards do that take peoples mony for false dreams and lying divinations and as thou sorcerer and perverter of the Scripture wouldst have them but the Stars were set to give light and to know the noble works of God in them and by them in their covenant as they stand and keep their course and to hold forth the wisdom of God in the firmament of heaven and also that man might praise him for his noble acts and as it is written in the book of Psalms Oh give thanks unto the Lord of Lords for his mercy endureth forever to his own host Oh give thanks to him that by wisdome made the heavens for his mercy endureth for ever Oh give thanks to him that made the great lights for his mercy to his endureth for ever the Sun to rule the day and the Moon and the Stars to rule the night for his mercy endureth for ever and they were not set to divine lyes by and cast figures to tell fortunes so called and speak lying divinations by as thou sorcerer and diviner of lyes wouldst have them the Scriptures witnesse against

Some of thy lying divinations that proved false which thou tookst mony for thou diviner of lyes and perverter of the right waies of the Lord as is proved by Scripture and now followes more proofe against thee by witnesse against thy wicked practise First that William Newway of Tamworth went to Nicholas Greaton to know where he might buy some wood for his trade and he told him he might have some Southward in Warwickshire about Hounby and the said William Newway sent John Greenwood to the place where Greaton told Newway he might have some but when Greenwood came at the place he was sent to for that purpose there was none to be had and this proved a lying divination for which the said Greaton took Newways mony this John Greenwood of Tamworth witnesse against thee thou Inchanter and diviner of lyes John Greenwood The second lying divination witnessed against is this Thomas Taylor of Austrey went to the said Nicholas Greaton abont a mare that was stoln from his father and Greaton said it was impossible for him to have her again and one of Tho. Taylors of Austrey neighbours had a mare stoln the same night and Greaton said it was impossible for them to have them again for he said they were gone Notthward but that proved false for they were gone Westward and they had them both again and when Taylor went to Greaton about them he demanded 12 a Piece because they were 2 severall things but afterwards he would have taken 18 but he would not given him so much therefore Greaton was very angry with him because the said Tho-Taylor that went to him to enquire about the mares that were stolne would give him no more and Greaton flung it away and the man took it up and the man told him he should get it before he had it and this John Greenwood can witness from Thomas Taylors mouth and also Rice Healey of Tamworth he can witness this business of Thomas Taylors for he was by at that time John Greenwood Rice Healey witnesses The third lying divination is this Robert Healey of Grindon did send Rice Healey to the said Greaton to know whether he should have some goods again that were stolne or no and he said he should and withall Greaton told him that the theeves house stood Southward from the mans house that did send to enquire and the doores opened not into a Lane but into a Backside Northward And he took money for that and 〈◊〉 he should have his goods again but he had not and that proved a lying divination also This is witnessed against by Rice Healey and Robert Healey More lying divinations witnessed against for which the said Nicholas Greaton tooke money for his deceiveableness of unrighteousness John Farmer having great use for money and having kindred in the North-Wales that had much spare money he went to Nicholas Greaton to know whether he should borrow any of them and he told him that he might upon which account he went It was above one hundred miles and he spent above twenty shillings and could borrow none Also two Maids sisters to the said John Farmer declared that Nicholas Greaton had told them severall things for which he took money of them and they complained of him to Iohn Farmer that they were all lies And the said Iohn Farmer asked him severall other questions for which he demanded four shillings and railed against him because he had not so much to give him saying that he was so badly payed by those that professed themselves friends that he thought he should be undone unless that he left that Art but Iohn Farmer gave him two shillings These lying wonders and false practices and lying divinations are witnessed against by Iohn Farmer Written from the Spirit of the Lord by a servant of the Lord known and beloved of the Lord yet hated of the World as unknown yet well known as dying and yet behold I live as chastened and not killed as sorrowfull yet alwaies rejoycing as poot yet making many rich 〈◊〉 as having nothing and yet possessing all things 2 Cor. ● chap.
