=Iustine= the Martir, who is one of the most auncient Fathers, reasoning against =Trypho= a Iewe, writeth in his _Colloquio_, that the couetous Sorceresse at =Saules= commaundement raysed vp =Samuels= soule. And no man shoulde maruaile héereat, sith that the selfesame Author doeth by and by adde, that he is of this iudgement, that all the soules of Prophettes and iust menne are subiect vnto suche power as a man may in verie déed beléeue, to haue bene on this gréedie and subtile Witche. But this none of the Fathers will graunt him. Other Gréeke writers also, whiche in their tender yeares applied theyr mindes to Philosophie, and not to the studie of holy Scriptures, and afterwardes were conuerted to Christianitie, doo sette foorthe in their writings certaine opinions which are not agréeable to the word of God. Wherefore it néede not séeme a straunge thing to any manne, that =Iustine= the Martire in some pointes had his errors. The same Authour in _Responsionibus ad Orthodoxos_, question 52. mainteineth the contrary assertion. For, saith he, whatsoeuer things were done by that hungry Witche, were indéede the workes of the Diuell, who did so dazle the eyes of such as beheld him, that it séemed vnto them, they sawe =Samuel= himselfe, when in verie déede hée was not there. But the truth of his words procéeded from God, who gaue the diuel power to appeare vnto the Sorceresse, and to declare vnto her, that which should afterwards come to passe. &c. [Sidenote: Gregorius.] If any man obiect that this woorke is not rightly ascribed vnto =Iustine=, (for so muche as hée doth make mention of =Origen=, and =Ireneus= the Martire, whereas notwithstanding hee him selfe was martyred before them. And farther, speaketh of the =Manichees=, who were in their ruffe long after this time. Hereunto we answere, that if this booke were not written by =Iustine=, yet (as may appeare) some other learned Clarke wrote that worke, whose authoritie might carry away as great credit as =Iustines=, sith that the same doth fully agrée with holie scripture. Furthermore we may set against =Iustine=, other holy Fathers, as =Tertullian= and =Chrysostome=, of whom we haue before spoken, who haue by holy scripture instructed vs, that it was not =Samuell= indéede whiche appeared vnto =Saule=. We will hereafter say somewhat of =Gregorie=, who no doubt was a learned and godly Father, but yet too simple and light of beléefe.
