A65369 The displaying of supposed witchcraft wherein is affirmed that there are many sorts of deceivers and impostors and divers persons under a passive delusion of melancholy and fancy, but that there is a corporeal league made betwixt the Devil and the witch ... is utterly denied and disproved : wherein also is handled, the existence of angels and spirits, the truth of apparitions, the nature of astral and sydereal spirits, the force of charms, and philters, with other abstruse matters / by John Webster ... Webster, John, 1610-1682. 1677 (1677) Wing W1230; ESTC R12517 396,606 368

it_o it_o can_v be_v rational_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v the_o story_n of_o this_o transaction_n betwixt_o saul_n and_o the_o woman_n from_o divine_a revelation_n for_o then_o doubtless_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v leave_v so_o ambiguous_a and_o doubtful_a but_o the_o whole_a truth_n both_o of_o the_o matter_n manner_n and_o circumstance_n will_v in_o all_o probability_n have_v be_v

than_o it_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v be_v represent_v for_o the_o most_o advantage_n and_o credit_n of_o the_o woman_n skill_n and_o cunning_a but_o the_o most_o learned_a person_n do_v judge_v it_o

confident_o say_v that_o mr._n scot_n tenent_n that_o the_o woman_n 86._o be_v in_o one_o room_n and_o saul_n in_o another_o when_o the_o feat_n be_v act_v be_v but_o a_o pretty_a knack_n and_o

the_o text_n than_o either_o that_o they_o be_v in_o diverse_a room_n or_o that_o saul_n see_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o what_o he_o have_v be_v from_o her_o relation_n or_o the_o act_n of_o a_o confederate_a and_o this_o we_o shall_v prove_v by_o these_o undeniable_a reason_n 1._o after_o saul_n have_v pacify_v the_o pretend_a fear_n of_o the_o woman_n who_o false_o counterfeit_v that_o she_o know_v not_o saul_n who_o be_v tall_a by_o the_o head_n and_o shoulder_n than_o any_o man_n in_o israel_n the_o next_o thing_n we_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o text_n be_v and_o when_o the_o woman_n see_v samuel_n now_o if_o they_o be_v both_o in_o the_o same_o room_n and_o samuel_n a_o visible_a object_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o saul_n see_v he_o not_o for_o if_o they_o be_v both_o in_o one_o room_n and_o samuel_n visible_a how_o be_v it_o that_o he_o do_v not_o or_o can_v not_o see_v he_o be_v his_o corporal_a eye_n as_o blind_v as_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o understanding_n sure_o not_o what_o fiction_n or_o invention_n must_v salve_v this_o sure_o mr._n glanvil_n must_v pump_v to_o find_v it_o out_o 2._o the_o next_o thing_n be_v that_o when_o the_o woman_n see_v for_o

manifest_a notwithstanding_o her_o great_a voice_n that_o as_o yet_o saul_n see_v nothing_o but_o stand_v wait_v like_o a_o drown_a puppet_n to_o hear_v what_o will_v be_v the_o issue_n for_o all_o he_o understand_v be_v from_o her_o cunning_a and_o lie_v relation_n and_o so_o either_o thus_o far_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v in_o distinct_a room_n or_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o he_o can_v see_v 3._o the_o next_o thing_n be_v he_o say_v be_v not_o afraid_a what_o see_v thou_o that_o be_v though_o i_o be_v saul_n yet_o be_v not_o afraid_a i_o have_v swear_v and_o thou_o shall_v receive_v no_o harm_n but_o what_o see_v thou_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v i_o see_v nothing_o as_o yet_o at_o all_o but_o i_o suppose_v thou_o have_v see_v something_o for_o otherwise_o his_o question_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o word_n the_o woman_n speak_v before_o but_o however_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o as_o yet_o he_o see_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o rational_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o they_o be_v in_o distinct_a room_n or_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o visible_a that_o he_o can_v see_v further_o his_o question_n be_v not_o in_o the_o present_a tense_n but_o of_o the_o time_n past_a what_o see_v thou_o or_o what_o have_v thou_o see_v which_o can_v not_o be_v congruous_o speak_v if_o they_o have_v be_v both_o in_o one_o room_n but_o however_o do_v undeniable_o conclude_v that_o as_o yet_o he_o see_v nothing_o at_o all_o 4._o the_o next_o be_v the_o woman_n lie_v and_o forge_a answer_n thereby_o to_o magnify_v she_o own_o craft_n and_o the_o more_o to_o amuse_v and_o astonish_v poor_a delude_v saul_n say_v behold_v i_o see_v god_n ascend_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n well_o it_o be_v still_o apparent_a that_o as_o saul_n can_v not_o before_o
