of_o spiritual_a vision_n appear_v in_o dream_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a kind_n of_o vision_n that_o do_v appear_v in_o dream_n that_o be_v to_o say_v natural_a and_o supernatural_a but_o various_a

the_o night_n and_o delude_v and_o tempt_v they_o such_o thing_n be_v kindle_v in_o the_o blood_n alias_o the_o understanding_n and_o beget_v such_o a_o fire_n which_o can_v easy_o be_v extinguish_v which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o venereous_a family_n many_o wonderful_a art_n and_o science_n also_o have_v seem_v to_o be_v make_v appear_v to_o artist_n in_o their_o

what_o belong_v thereunto_o but_o for_o the_o conclusion_n of_o such_o kind_n of_o vision_n one_o thing_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v declare_v that_o among_o all_o those_o dream_n that_o do_v rejoice_v our_o spirit_n grieve_v we_o or_o cause_n sorrow_n common_o that_o which_o be_v the_o contrary_n come_v to_o pass_v wherefore_o such_o like_a kind_n of_o vision_n be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v

the_o false_a heart_n of_o herod_n from_o which_o he_o speak_v wherefore_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v his_o will_n to_o be_v perform_v the_o like_a dream_n happen_v to_o joseph_n and_o jacob_n when_o he_o will_v go_v into_o egypt_n the_o same_o in_o like_a manner_n happen_v to_o ananias_n cornelius_n and_o many_o other_o all_o who_o dream_n be_v supernatural_a such_o dream_n do_v sometime_o also_o happen_v to_o man_n in_o our_o time_n but_o they_o be_v nothing_o esteem_v yet_o nevertheless_o they_o be_v not_o fallacious_a we_o be_v likewise_o to_o know_v that_o these_o kind_n of_o vision_n may_v be_v obtain_v by_o we_o by_o prayer_n from_o our_o lord_n god_n in_o our_o great_a necessity_n so_o that_o our_o prayer_n be_v make_v with_o a_o sincere_a heart_n and_o with_o a_o true_a and_o

expert_a in_o these_o kind_n of_o vision_n for_o every_o night_n as_o often_o as_o he_o will_v he_o can_v obtain_v a_o vision_n of_o this_o kind_n yet_o the_o scripture_n have_v give_v he_o a_o obscure_a name_n to_o wit_n a_o enchanter_n it_o be_v not_o expedient_a to_o make_v any_o difference_n for_o the_o scripture_n observe_v no_o difference_n herein_o but_o call_v all_o they_o enchanter_n who_o have_v experience_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o virtue_n of_o natural_a thing_n nevertheless_o great_a discretion_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o simplicity_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v and_o not_o to_o search_v too_o deep_o into_o such_o high_a abstruse_a and_o secret_a thing_n above_o nature_n that_o we_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o abuse_n thereof_o and_o therewith_o hurt_v our_o neighbour_n and_o so_o come_v into_o condemnation_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n they_o be_v not_o therefore_o all_o enchanter_n which_o the_o scripture_n call_v so_o for_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o those_o three_o wise_a man_n of_o the_o east_n shall_v be_v arch-inchanter_n when_o as_o in_o all_o art_n especial_o in_o such_o as_o be_v supernatural_a they_o excel_v all_o other_o before_o their_o time_n therefore_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o call_v they_o enchanter_n but_o wise_a man_n what_o else_o can_v be_v gather_v from_o they_o but_o that_o they_o do_v in_o no_o wise_a abuse_n their_o art_n and_o occult_a wisdom_n for_o magic_a be_v such_o a_o art_n and_o science_n which_o demonstrate_v and_o declare_v the_o power_n and_o virture_v thereof_o by_o faith_n nevertheless_o enchantment_n may_v spring_v from_o thence_o to_o wit_n when_o it_o be_v use_v abusive_o and_o before_o it_o can_v be_v call_v a_o enchantment_n but_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v more_o large_o of_o vision_n in_o dream_n it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v that_o some_o have_v be_v so_o spiritual_o lift_v up_o to_o god_n in_o a_o dream_n that_o they_o have_v see_v his_o glory_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o elect_a and_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o damn_a which_o they_o can_v never_o afterward_o forget_v but_o have_v carry_v the_o same_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o mind_n until_o the_o end_n of_o their_o life_n it_o be_v possible_a i_o say_v for_o we_o to_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n when_o we_o seek_v for_o and_o implore_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n with_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o prayer_n we_o may_v behold_v all_o the_o mysterye_n of_o god_n very_o well_o as_o esaias_n &_o john_n these_o kind_n of_o vision_n be_v certain_a and_o true_a to_o which_o more_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v give_v then_o to_o all_o the_o precept_n in_o necromancy_n by_o looking-glass_n crystal_n beryl_n nail_n of_o the_o finger_n stone_n water_n and_o the_o like_a for_o all_o these_o be_v false_a and_o fallacious_a and_o although_o such_o spirit_n do_v sometime_o speak_v in_o such_o appearance_n and_o answer_v and_o do_v assert_v the_o same_o with_o a_o hundred_o oath_n with_o erection_n of_o the_o finger_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o always_o to_o give_v faith_n or_o credit_n unto_o they_o unless_o perchance_o it_o be_v do_v out_o of_o the_o special_a command_n of_o god_n otherwise_o they_o can_v possible_o speak_v truth_n of_o all_o vision_n which_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o those_o prophecy_n do_v come_v from_o a_o true_a original_n which_o do_v agree_v with_o all_o the_o

above_o the_o quintessence_n and_o starry_a magnes_n which_o make_v the_o deject_a and_o hide_a iron_n to_o appear_v for_o the_o celestial_a magnes_n be_v of_o such_o power_n and_o virtue_n that_o

his_o own_o exaltation_n but_o this_o we_o shall_v make_v more_o large_o to_o appear_v in_o two_o excellent_a example_n follow_v of_o the_o imagination_n and_o how_o the_o same_o come_v into_o its_o exaltation_n what_o powerful_a operation_n the_o imagination_n have_v and_o how_o the_o same_o come_v to_o its_o height_n and_o exaltation_n may_v be_v see_v by_o a_o example_n take_v from_o experience_n in_o the_o time_n of_o pestilence_n wherein_o the_o imagination_n poyson_v more_o than_o any_o infect_a air_n and_o against_o which_o no_o antidote_n neither_o of_o mithridate_n nor_o treacle_n nor_o any_o such_o preservative_n can_v exhibit_v any_o help_n unless_o that_o such_o a_o imagination_n do_v pass_v away_o and_o be_v forget_v nothing_o else_o will_v help_v so_o quick_a and_o swift_a a_o runner_n and_o messenger_n be_v the_o imagination_n that_o it_o do_v not_o only_o fly_v out_o of_o one_o house_n into_o another_o out_o of_o one_o street_n into_o another_o but_o also_o most_o swift_o pass_v from_o one_o city_n and_o country_n into_o another_o so_o that_o by_o the_o imagination_n only_o of_o one_o person_n the_o pestilence_n may_v come_v into_o some_o whole_a city_n or_o country_n and_o kill_v many_o thousand_o of_o man_n as_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o this_o example_n put_v case_n there_o be_v two_o brethren_n dear_o love_v one_o another_o and_o one_o of_o they_o live_v in_o france_n and_o the_o other_o travel_n into_o italy_n who_o be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o pestilence_n in_o the_o middle_a way_n and_o news_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o

so_o that_o he_o can_v forget_v it_o and_o it_o be_v kindle_v in_o he_o and_o this_o fire_n do_v so_o long_o reverberate_a and_o work_v as_o it_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o trial_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n which_o do_v send_v forth_o their_o flower_n so_o long_o until_o they_o shine_v bright_a again_o which_o be_v not_o before_o they_o be_v perfect_o clear_a and_o separate_v from_o the_o other_o impure_a metal_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n also_o the_o imagination_n strike_v back_o and_o work_v itself_o unto_o the_o high_a degree_n after_o there_o will_v be_v a_o relucency_n thereof_o now_o it_o be_v receive_v in_o a_o vessel_n in_o the_o man_n as_o the_o sperme_n of_o a_o man_n be_v receive_v in_o the_o matrix_fw-la of_o the_o woman_n whereby_o the_o conception_n of_o

to_o keep_v far_o off_o not_o because_o of_o any_o corrupt_a or_o infect_a air_n for_o it_o infect_v not_o the_o air_n as_o some_o ignorant_a people_n say_v but_o that_o they_o may_v not_o see_v or_o

leave_v alone_o neither_o must_v they_o be_v suffer_v to_o muse_v silent_o with_o themselves_o whereby_o the_o imagination_n may_v labour_v in_o their_o mind_n but_o they_o be_v to_o be_v comfort_v and_o the_o imagination_n be_v to_o be_v expel_v from_o their_o mind_n by_o exciting_a they_o to_o mirth_n and_o joy_n neither_o let_v any_o think_v that_o i_o speak_v this_o as_o a_o fable_n as_o though_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o light_a business_n neither_o be_v the_o remedy_n so_o easy_a for_o oppress_v imagination_n for_o the_o imagination_n be_v as_o it_o be_v pitch_n which_o easy_o cleave_v and_o stick_v and_o soon_o take_v fire_n which_o be_v kindle_v be_v not_o so_o easy_o extinguish_v wherefore_o the_o only_a remedy_n to_o resist_v the_o pestilence_n in_o such_o man_n be_v to_o quench_v and_o expel_v the_o force_n of_o the_o imagination_n this_o be_v one_o example_n wherein_o the_o power_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o imagination_n be_v declare_v with_o the_o

many_o of_o their_o life_n but_o also_o in_o war_n how_o many_o have_v perish_v in_o war_n with_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o shot_n the_o cause_n of_o who_o death_n have_v be_v only_o their_o

wherefore_o it_o become_v he_o that_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o old_a soldier_n or_o to_o gain_v knighthood_n or_o any_o honour_n in_o war_n to_o fix_v and_o fasten_v his_o mind_n and_o imagination_n
