illudes the senses of these schollers of his, in manie
thinges, so saye I the like of these Witches.

PHI. Then I pray you, first to speake of that part of their owne persons,
and syne ye may come next to their actiones towardes others.

EPI. To the effect that they may performe such seruices of their false
Master, as he employes them in, the deuill as Gods Ape, counterfeites in
his seruantes this seruice & forme of adoration, that God prescribed and
made his seruantes to practise. For as the seruants of GOD, publicklie
vses to conveene for seruing of him, so makes he them in great numbers to
conveene (though publickly they dare not) for his seruice. As none
conueenes to the adoration and worshipping of God, except they be marked
with his scale, the Sacrament of _Baptisme_: So none serues Sathan, and
conueenes to the adoring of him, that are not marked with that marke,
wherof I alredy spake. As the Minister sent by God, teacheth plainely at
the time of their publick conuentions, how to serue him in spirit & truth:
so that vncleane spirite, in his owne person teacheth his Disciples, at
the time of their conueening, how to worke all kinde of mischiefe: And
craues compt of all their horrible and detestable proceedinges passed, for
aduancement of his seruice. Yea, that he may the more viuelie counterfeit
and scorne God, he oft times makes his slaues to conveene in these verrie
places, which are destinat and ordeined for the conveening of the
servantes of God (I meane by Churches). But this farre, which I haue yet

be indeede. For the forme that he vsed in counterfeiting God amongst the
_Gentiles_, makes me so to thinke: As God spake by his Oracles, spake he
not so by his? As GOD had aswell bloudie Sacrifices, as others without
bloud, had not he the like? As God had Churches sanctified to his seruice,
with Altars, Priests, Sacrifices, Ceremonies and Prayers; had he not the
like polluted to his seruice? As God gaue responses by _Vrim_ and
_Thummim_, gaue he not his responses by the intralls of beastes, by the
singing of Fowles, and by their actiones in the aire? As God by visiones,
dreames, and extases reueiled what was to come, and what was his will vnto
his seruantes; vsed he not the like meanes to forwarne his slaues of
things to come? Yea, euen as God loued cleannes, hated vice, and
impuritie, & appoynted punishmentes therefore: vsed he not the like
