A65369 The displaying of supposed witchcraft wherein is affirmed that there are many sorts of deceivers and impostors and divers persons under a passive delusion of melancholy and fancy, but that there is a corporeal league made betwixt the Devil and the witch ... is utterly denied and disproved : wherein also is handled, the existence of angels and spirits, the truth of apparitions, the nature of astral and sydereal spirits, the force of charms, and philters, with other abstruse matters / by John Webster ...

therewith_o very_o imaginative_a and_o thoughtful_a yet_o suppose_v thomas_n haworth_n to_o be_v of_o that_o temperament_n and_o disposition_n it_o may_v make_v he_o more_o deep_o to_o think_v and_o meditate_v upon_o the_o rumour_n of_o water_n be_v awanting_a or_o upon_o suspicion_n of_o his_o murder_n but_o can_v not_o in_o dream_n inform_v he_o to_o know_v precise_o the_o place_n where_o he_o

can_v it_o by_o any_o sound_a reason_n be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o devil_n because_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n do_v not_o use_v the_o ministry_n of_o evil_a angel_n for_o any_o good_a end_n
