society_n and_o complot_n with_o devil_n the_o prudence_n and_o sagacity_n of_o the_o wizard_n the_o folly_n and_o overmuch_a credulity_n of_o the_o inquisitor_n which_o he_o exemplify_v very_o well_o in_o each_o particular_a we_o refer_v the_o learned_a to_o the_o place_n itself_o because_o it_o be_v somewhat_o long_o and_o will_v take_v another_o course_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n unto_o this_o

practice_n warrantable_a now_o it_o do_v most_o manifest_o appear_v in_o this_o ensue_a discourse_n that_o out_o of_o their_o own_o mouth_n who_o have_v be_v master_n and_o professor_n in_o this_o science_n that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o divine_a speak_v true_a be_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o skill_n and_o learning_n but_o because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o deliver_v he_o over_o to_o

and_o make_v good_a by_o a_o plain_a story_n of_o myself_o when_o i_o be_v a_o child_n &_o go_v to_o school_n at_o carleill_n where_o i_o be_v bear_v there_o come_v a_o odd_a fellow_n about_o the_o

more_o simple_o honest_a then_o religious_o wise_a make_v sign_n unto_o he_o to_o show_v what_o shall_v be_v my_o fortune_n and_o another_o schoolfellow_n of_o i_o that_o be_v then_o present_a whereupon_o this_o wizard_n have_v look_v earnest_o upon_o we_o both_o and_o pawse_v a_o little_a for_o my_o schoolfellow_n he_o take_v i_o a_o low_a stool_n and_o get_v up_o upon_o it_o with_o a_o book_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o begin_v to_o act_v after_o his_o fashion_n signify_v thereby_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o preacher_n and_o for_o i_o he_o take_v a_o pen_n and_o a_o scroll_n of_o paper_n and_o make_v as_o though_o he_o will_v write_v signify_v thereby_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v a_o scrivener_n now_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o my_o schoolfellow_n prove_v the_o scrivener_n and_o i_o prove_v the_o preacher_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a to_o be_v see_v that_o either_o the_o devil_n himself_o do_v miss_v or_o his_o instrument_n be_v mistake_v in_o his_o information_n 3._o three_o suppose_v that_o th●…se_a prediction_n fall_v out_o true_a yet_o the_o wizard_n be_v never_o a_o whit_n the_o more_o to_o be_v believe_v as_o it_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o 13._o chap._n
