d, that the hard Rock yielded Water, is beyond humane Reason; so was the turning of the salt water into sweet and drinkable, supernatural. As also the dry passage of the Children of _Israel_ through the Red Sea; and the Budding of _Aarons_ Rod, are all supernatural. In brief, the Resurrection of Christ the Eternal Son of God out of the grave, for all the Tomb-stone, his appearing to the two men going to _Emas_, his revealing himself to his Disciples when the Door was lock'd, are all Divine and Supernatural.

In like manner there appertains unto Supernatural things, all the Water-Spirits, as the _Syrens_, _Succubi_, & other Water-Nymphs, with their Relations, as likewise the Terrestrial Spirits, and those which inhabit the Air, who sometimes are heard, seen, or perceived, sometimes foretelling Death or other Disasters, sometimes they discover by their Apparition Riches and good Fortune in certain places, and the Fiery Spirits appertain here also, which appear in a fie
