Let us seek other wayes Then you are not counted perseverers neither are your works worthy reward But humane reason can perswade and give judgement against these follies much more are they damnable and deserve correction in the voice and judgement of such as are pure He that dealeth with the wicked is a lyar and shall have his reward But the end of comfort is in the purenesse of spirit But O you of little wisdom you rise up against the windes and yoke your wits against the mountains Nay you cast your selves down headlong where there is no mercy For what blasphemie is it to say If it be the will of God it must follow Is not man subject to the bringing in of his own labours And are not they allowed to his comfort being brought in The soul of man is the Image of God after his form which keepeth within himself the power of his divinity in the heavenly Spirit whereby he hath Authority to consent with God in the workmanship of his Will and Creatures Which Power being sealed already giveth unto man as King of himself to consent to his own salvation conjoyning and knitting himself together either with perseverance in the assured hope of mercy or with wilfull drunkennesse to the reward of such as fall Therefore Become Holy For the soul beautifieth when it is beautified in it self Resist not the Will of God which is mighty on you Be not obstinate Be humble Rejoyce not for this World But be glad that your names are sealed and that you shall correct the World Despair not through weaknesse for from whom cometh strength If puddles become Seas the end is more wonderful But yet greater when sinners are called to the knowledge and performance of God his Will thorough his mercies Even as one day perisheth and is not although he hath been Even so it is and shall be the state of this World For the Earth must sing O Sanna with the Heavens And there must be One veritie And Hierusalem shall descend with an horn of glory to the end The Sun and Moon shall be witnesses and wonder at their stay The Kings of the Earth shall become proud in themselves and are unable to be tamed with man But I will yoke them saith the Lord with correction And force them one to imitate anothers steps Yea they shall tread the grapes alike For in my Vineyard Corruption shall not dwell with Authority Neither shall the Prince of Darknesse usurpe my further honour E.

induced to believe or at least to suspect that there might be some mistake in the particulars of his Sentence For my reason I must confesse was never more posed in any thing that ever I read of that nature Gassendus indeed in Pereskius his life hath somewhat as I remember of Pereskius his Opinion as if he thought some of those things he confessed might be ascribed unto imagination but I see no reason given neither are the things of that nature that can admit any such suspicion Besides Tristan of the Lives of the Emperors and their Coynes will tell you somewhat which may make a doubt whether Gassendus ought to be believed in all things that he reporteth concerning that famous man I am not very much satisfied of what Religion though truly a very learned man Gassendus was And by the way which is somewhat to the case of Witches in general if I be not mistaken for I have it not at this time there is a relation in that very book of somewhat that hapned to Pereskius by Witches when he was a child That wicked Sorcerer which was burned at Aix foretold before his death that some misfortune would be done at the time and place of his execution which hapned accordingly and very strangely too Somewhat again I must confesse I have seen printed Mimica Diaboli c. to take away the scandal of some part of his confession or the Devils saying of Masse c. some part of which things might perchance with some colour be ascribed to imagination but that is not it that troubles me But enough of him What man is he that pretends to learning that hath not heard and doth not honour the memory of Joachimus Camerarius that great light of Germany so wise and for his wisdom and other excellent parts sought unto by many Princes so moderate a man an excellent temper for the attaining of Truth and so versed in all kind of learning that we shall scarce among all the learned of these later Times find another so generally accomplished The strangest relations that ever I read or at least as strange as any I have read of Witches and Sorcerers and Spirits I have read in him such as either upon his own knowledge he doth relate or such as he believed true upon the testimonie of others known unto him The last work that he ever went about for the publick was De generibus Divinationum but he did not live the more the pity to make an end of it But so much as he had done was set out by one of his learned sons Lipsiae 〈◊〉 Dom. 1576. There p 33 he hath these words De Spirituum verò quae sunt Graecis 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 admirabili non solum efficacitate sed manifesta Specie quae 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 perbibentur praesentiâ incredibiles extant passim 〈◊〉 narrationes nostris tempombus super antia fidem comperta sunt extra etiam 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 de quibus posteà aicetur So p. 89. p. 151. again and more fully But his strangest relations are in his Proaemium to Plutarchs two Treatises De Defectu Oraculorum and De. Figura E I Consecratâ Delphis set out by him with Notes Here I could come in with a whole cloud of witnesses name hundreds of men of all Nations and professions that have lived within this last hundred years and not any among them but such as have had and have yet generally the reputation of Honest Sober Learned and Judicious who all have been of this opinion that we maintain But because we have to do with them especially who by their Profession pretend to the Knowledge of Nature above other men I will confine my self for further testimony to them that have been of that Profession I have been somewhat curious for one of my Calling that had no other end but to attain to some Knowledge of Nature without which a man may quickly be lead into manifold delusions and Impostures I have read some looked into many I do not remember I have met with any professed Physician or Naturalist some one or two excepted which have been or shall be named who made any question of these things Sure I am I have met with divers strange relations in sundry of them of things that themselves were present at and saw with their own eyes where they could have no end that any man can probably suspect but to acknowledge the truth though with some disparagement to themselves according to the judgment of many in the free confession of their own ignorance and disability to give reasons and to penetrate into causes Well what then shall we say to such as Jul. Caesar Scaliger Fernelius Sennertus the wonders and Oracles of their times As Physicians so Phylosophers men of that profound wisdom and experience much improved in some of them by long life as their writings shew them to have been to this day What shall we make of them or what do they make of themselves that will censure such men as either cheaters or ignorant idiots Henericus Saxonia a Learned Professor and Practiser of Physick in Padua in that Book he hath written of that horrible Polonian Disease which he calls Pticam which turneth mens hairs in sight to Snakes and Serpents in that book he doth ascribe so much to the power of Witches and Sorcerers in causing Diseases not private only but even publick as Pestilences and the like as himself confesseth he could never have believed until he was convicted by manifest experience and indeed is wonderful and may well be thought incredible unto most yet is maintained and asserted by Sennertus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and in his sixth book as I remember De 〈◊〉 à fascino incantatione veneficiis inductis I will forbear the names of many men of fame and credit Physicians too because most of them are named and commonly enough known by Sennertus upon this occasion There is one whom I think inferiour to none though perchance not so commonly known or read and that is Georgius Raqusaius a Venetian who by his first education and profession was an Astrologer cast many Nativities and took upon him to Prognosticate but afterwards conscious to himself of the vanity of the Art that is when the Divel doth not intermeddle as alwayes must be understood for some Astrologers have been Magicians withall and have done strange things gave it over and hath written against it very Learnedly and Solidly Read him if you please in his Chapters De Magis De Oraculis yea through his whole Book De Divinatione and you may be satisfied what he thought of these things he also was a Physician But I must not omit the Learned Author that set out Musoeum Veronense a great Naturalist and a Physician too he handles it at the end of that work somewhat roundly and to the quick I must confesse but very 〈◊〉 and Solidly in my judgment against those pretended Peripateticians that would
