THE PREFACE. TO THE READER.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Bvt I thinke it very strange, that God should permit anie man-kynde to fall in so grosse and filthie a defection.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Bvt I pray you likewise forget not to tell what are the Deuilles rudimentes.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Wel, Ye haue said far inough in that argument. But how prooue ye now that these charmes or vnnaturall practicques are vnlawfull: For so, many honest & merrie men & women haue publicklie practized some of them, that I thinke if ye would accuse them al of Witch-craft, ye would affirme more nor ye will be beleeued in.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Indeede there is cause inough, but rather to leaue him at all, then to runne more plainlie to him, if they were wise he delt with. But goe forwards now I pray you to these turnes, fra they become once deacons in this craft.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Svrelie Ye haue made this arte to appeare verie monstruous & detestable. But what I pray you shall be said to such as mainteines this art to be lawfull, for as euill as you haue made it?

SECONDE BOOKE.

ARGVMENT.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Come on then I pray you, and returne where ye left.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Bvt by what way say they or think ye it possible that they can com to these vnlawful c?uenti?s?

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Forsooth your opinion in this, seemes to carrie most reason with it, and sence yee haue ended, then the actions belonging properly to their owne persones: say forwarde now to their actiones vsed towardes others.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Bvt who dare take vpon him to punish them, if no man can be sure to be free from their vnnaturall inuasiones?

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Hath the Deuill then power to appeare to any other, except to such as are his sworne disciples: especially since al Oracles, & such like kinds of illusiones were taken awaie and abolished by the cumming of CHRIST?

THIRDE BOOKE.

ARGVMENT.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

I pray you now then go forward in telling what ye thinke fabulous, or may be trowed in that case.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

Come forward now to the reste of these kindes of spirites.

ARGVMENT.

PHILOMATHES.

The next question that I would speere, is likewise concerning this first of these two kindes of spirites that ye haue conjoyned: and it is this; ye knowe how it is commonly written and reported, that amongst the rest of the sortes of spirites that followes certaine persons, there is one more monstrous nor al the rest: in respect as it is alleaged, they converse naturally with them whom they trouble and hauntes with: and therefore I would knowe in two thinges your opinion herein: First if suche a thing can be: and next if it be: whether there be a difference of sexes amongst these spirites or not.

ARGVMENT.
