EPI. I know well inough where fra that errour which ye alleage hath
proceeded: For it was the ignorant _Gentiles_ that were the fountaine
thereof. Who for that they knew not God, they forged in their owne
imaginationes, euery man to be still accompanied with two spirites,
whereof they called the one _genius bonus_, the other _genius malus_: the
Greekes called them {~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~} & {~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}: wherof the former they saide,
perswaded him to all the good he did: the other entised him to all the
euill. But praised be God we that are christians, & walks not amongst the
_Cymmerian_ conjectures of man, knowes well inough, that it is the good
spirite of God onely, who is the fountain of all goodnes, that perswads vs
to the thinking or doing of any good: and that it is our corrupted fleshe
and Sathan, that intiseth vs to the contrarie. And yet the Deuill for
confirming in the heades of ignoraunt Christians, that errour first
mainteined among the Gentiles, he whiles among the first kinde of spirits
that I speak of, appeared in time of _Papistrie_ and blindnesse, and
haunted diuers houses, without doing any euill, but doing as it were
necessarie turnes vp and down the house: and this spirit they called
_Brownie_ in our language, who appeared like a rough-man: yea, some were
so blinded, as to beleeue that their house was all the sonsier, as they
called it, that such spirites resorted there.

PHI. But since the Deuils intention in all his actions, is euer to do
euill, what euill was there in that forme of doing, since their actions
outwardly were good.

EPI. Was it not euill inough to deceiue simple ignorantes, in making them
to take him for an Angell of light, and so to account of Gods enemie, as
of their particular friend: where by the contrarie, all we that are
Christians, ought assuredly to know that since the comming of Christ in
the flesh, and establishing of his Church by the Apostles, all miracles,
