friend_n anthony_n first_o god_n that_o be_v most_o just_a by_o that_o mean_n do_v punish_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o child_n for_o those_o who_o we_o term_v godly_a &_o true_a christian_n they_o be_v many_o time_n not_o only_o not_o without_o their_o infirmity_n and_o imperfection_n but_o subject_a also_o unto_o grievous_a sin_n and_o offence_n as_o saint_n john_n teach_v in_o the_o first_o

of_o the_o faithful_a for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o roman_n the_o five_o chapter_n and_o three_o verse_n affliction_n bring_v patience_n patience_n bring_v probation_n probation_n bring_v

say_v and_o i_o make_v a_o doubt_n where_o be_v none_o or_o which_o as_o i_o perceive_v be_v easy_o resolve_v and_o since_o you_o have_v apt_o answer_v i_o unto_o those_o three_o point_n which_o i_o demand_v namely_o what_o this_o word_n sortiarius_n signify_v whither_o there_o be_v in_o deed_n any_o such_o final_o over_o what_o kind_n of_o thing_n these_o sorcerer_n have_v power_n and_o can_v exercise_v their_o art_n i_o beseech_v you_o theophilus_n that_o you_o will_v hereto_o add_v the_o four_o point_n and_o declare_v unto_o i_o after_o what_o manner_n sort_n &_o mean_n they_o can_v

do_v you_o think_v that_o i_o be_o so_o expert_a and_o conversant_a in_o their_o art_n that_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o all_o that_o belong_v thereto_o you_o remember_v what_o protestation_n i_o make_v at_o the_o entrance_n &_o beginning_n of_o our_o discourse_n that_o i_o never_o be_v acquaint_v with_o satan_n or_o any_o of_o these_o sorcerer_n nor_o never_o mind_v to_o be_v neither_o look_v i_o for_o any_o praise_n for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o matter_n howbeit_o so_o far_o as_o my_o ability_n shall_v extend_v i_o will_v satisfy_v your_o honest_a request_n this_o therefore_o be_v that_o which_o you_o require_v of_o i_o by_o what_o mean_n sorcerer_n do_v work_v and_o infect_v thing_n with_o their_o poison_n wherein_o i_o will_v answer_v that_o which_o be_v most_o true_a that_o they_o do_v all_o these_o thing_n by_o mean_n instinct_n and_o craft_n of_o the_o most_o miserable_a &_o wicked_a satan_n the_o devil_n for_o this_o much_o i_o dare_v affirm_v unto_o you_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sorcerer_n but_o he_o make_v a_o league_n &_o covenant_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o vow_v himself_o unto_o he_o in_o confirmation_n of_o which_o vow_v he_o receive_v in_o his_o

some_o in_o the_o roof_n of_o their_o mouth_n and_o in_o other_o place_n where_o it_o may_v be_v hide_v &_o conceal_v from_o we_o although_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o all_o sorcerer_n be_v not_o privy_o prick_v and_o mark_v by_o satan_n but_o those_o only_a of_o who_o constancy_n towards_o he_o he_o stand_v in_o doubt_n and_o those_o of_o who_o he_o do●bteth_v not_o be_v leave_v unmarked_a yet_o may_v i_o say_v thus_o more_o certain_o and_o true_o that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o upon_o who_o he_o have_v not_o set_v some_o note_n or_o token_n of_o his_o power_n &_o prerogative_n over_o they_o which_o to_o intent_n the_o judge_n and_o such_o as_o be_v set_v in_o authority_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o to_o inquire_v of_o such_o matter_n may_v the_o better_o perceive_v let_v they_o special_o provide_v that_o when_o any_o of_o these_o shall_v be_v convent_v before_o they_o to_o poll_n and_o shave_v they_o where_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v all_o the_o body_n over_o lest_o haply_o the_o mark_n may_v lurk_v under_o the_o hair_n in_o any_o place_n for_o they_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o satan_n &_o themselves_o for_o their_o part_n again_o have_v make_v he_o such_o a_o promise_n satan_n in_o this_o wise_a that_o they_o shall_v acknowledge_v and_o worship_v he_o for_o their_o god_n and_o they_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o satan_n shall_v help_v and_o defend_v they_o so_o according_a to_o covenant_n satan_n help_v they_o and_o according_a to_o their_o prayer_n so_o work_v and_o do_v he_o for_o they_o and_o they_o again_o obey_v his_o precept_n and_o commandment_n anthony_n yea_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o satan_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v a_o great_a liar_n yea_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n will_v he_o keep_v touch_n and_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n as_o you_o have_v say_v theoph._n satan_n be_v not_o always_o a_o liar_n though_o he_o be_v always_o a_o deceiver_n for_o oftentimes_o he_o speak_v truth_n that_o he_o may_v deceive_v those_o that_o hear_v he_o and_o oftentimes_o he_o perform_v his_o promise_n because_o he_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o deceiver_n but_o rather_o a_o teller_n of_o truth_n when_o

notwithstanding_o he_o be_v a_o deceiver_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o seek_v a_o way_n to_o deceive_v man_n so_o when_o satan_n keep_v promise_v &_o perform_v those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v
