It appeereth there, that he, with a couple of his men, went to hir by night, and said; Conjecture unto me by thy familiar spirit, and bring me up whom I shall name unto thee. The godlie learned knowe that this was not in the power of the witch of _Endor_, but in the God of heaven onelie to accomplish. Howbeit, _Saule_ was bewitched so to suppose: and yet is he more simple that will be overtaken with the devises of our old witches, which are produced to resemble hir. And why should we thinke, that GOD would rather permit the witch to raise _Samuel_, than that _Dives_ could obteine _Lazarus_ to come out of _Abrahams_ bosome, upon more likelie and more reasonable conditions? Well now dooth this strumpet (according to the guise of our cousening witches and conjurers) make the matter strange unto _Saule_, saieng that he came to take hir in a snare, &c. But witches seldome make this objection, saving when they mistrust that he which commeth to them will espie their jugling: for otherwise, where the witchmonger is simple and easie to be abused, the witch will be as easie to be intreated, and nothing dangerous of hir cunning; as you see this witch was soone persuaded (notwithstanding that objection) bicause she perceived and sawe that _Saule_ was affraid and out of his wits. And therfore she said unto him; Whom shall I raise up? As though she could have brought unto him _Abraham_, _Isaac_, or _Jacob_; who cannot heare us, therefore cannot rise at our call. For it is written; Looke thou downe from heaven and behold us, &c: as for _Abraham_ he is ignorant of us, and Israel knoweth us not. ♦Ibidem.♦ ♦1 Sam. 28, 9.♦ ♦1.
