ancient_a heathen_n as_o pythagoras_n and_o other_o and_o angel_n in_o the_o scripture_n also_o we_o know_v be_v sometime_o call_v god_n do_v grow_v insolent_a or_o rebellious_a and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o place_n of_o plutarch_n which_o together_o with_o that_o of_o tully_n be_v unquestionable_a deserve_v to_o be_v much_o make_v of_o by_o they_o who_o have_v rather_o a_o little_a genuine_a truth_n though_o they_o labour_v for_o it_o than_o plenty_n of_o specious_a imposture_n the_o sibyl_n and_o mercurius_n trismegistus_n we_o purposely_o decline_v to_o meddle_v with_o in_o this_o case_n yea_o and_o the_o oracula_fw-la chaldaica_n too_o which_o though_o i_o do_v not_o altogether_o reject_v yet_o i_o be_o very_o suspicious_a that_o there_o be_v in_o they_o more_o of_o porphyrius_n than_o his_o bare_a as_o himself_o pretend_v collection_n all_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v well_o ponder_v s._n augustine_n assertion_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o before_o with_o little_a variation_n that_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d at_o the_o very_a first_o long_o before_o homer_n be_v take_v in_o the_o worst_a sense_n for_o a_o evil_a spirit_n and_o afterward_o when_o evil_a spirit_n begin_v to_o be_v worship_v which_o how_o it_o happen_v justin_n martyr_n and_o other_o that_o have_v write_v against_o the_o gentile_n do_v show_v for_o a_o good_a

say_v so_o qualify_v though_o we_o can_v for_o want_v of_o proof_n and_o evidence_n of_o those_o time_n affirm_v it_o certain_o true_a yet_o certain_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v and_o grant_v not_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d god_n by_o greek_a writer_n as_o the_o latin_a deus_n by_o the_o latin_n be_v often_o use_v upon_o this_o occasion_n have_v be_v observe_v before_o and_o must_v here_o be_v remember_v the_o text_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o we_o must_v ground_n upon_o be_v that_o unhappy_a conference_n between_o our_o first_o mother_n eve_n and_o the_o subtle_a serpent_n which_o we_o therefore_o think_v fit_a to_o set_v down_o here_o at_o large_a as_o we_o find_v it_o record_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n and_o the_o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5._o verse_n of_o the_o chapter_n the_o

second_o that_o it_o be_v mere_a envy_n and_o malignity_n towards_o mankind_n that_o move_v the_o devil_n thus_o to_o set_v upon_o the_o woman_n and_o to_o counsel_v she_o as_o he_o do_v as_o i_o will_v not_o therefore_o altogether_o decline_v they_o so_o neither_o will_v i_o trouble_v myself_o and_o my_o reader_n with_o multiplicity_n of_o commentator_n upon_o the_o place_n i_o think_v it_o
