That witches, nor the woman of _Endor_, nor yet hir familiar or divell can tell what is to come, may plainelie appeare by the words of the prophet, who saith; Shew what things are to come, and we will saie you are gods indeed. According to that which _Salomon_ saith; Who can tell a man what shall happen him under the sunne? Marrie that can I (saith the witch of _Endor_ to _Saule_.) But I will rather beleeve _Paule_ and _Peter_, which saie, that prophesie is the gift of God, and no worldlie thing. Then a cousening queane, that taketh upon hir to doo all things, and can doo nothing but beguile men: up steppeth also mother _Bungie_, and she can tell you where your horsse or your asse is bestowed, or anie thing that you have lost is become, as _Samuell_ could; and what you have doone in all your age past, as Christ did to the woman of _Sichar_ at _Jacobs_ well; yea and what your errand is, before you speake, as _Elizæus_ did. ♦Isai. 41.♦ ♦1 Sam. 28.

And, _Nemo scit quæ sunt hominis, nisi spiritus hominis qui est in eo_, None knoweth the things of man, but the spirit of man which is within him. And _Salomon_ saith, _Tu solus nosti cogitationes hominum_, Thou onelie knowest the thoughts of men. And _Jeremie_ saith in the person of God, _Ego Deus scrutans corda & renes_, I am God searching hearts and reines. Also _Matthew_ saith of Christ, _Jesus autem videns cogitationes eorum_, And Jesus seeing their thoughts, who in scripture is called the searcher and knower of the thoughts in the heart: as appeareth in _Acts_, 1. _&_ 15. _Rom._ 8. _Matth._ 9. 12. _&_ 22. _Marke._ 2. _Luke._ 6, _&_ 7. _&_ 11. _John._ 1. 2. 6. _&_ 13. _Apoc._ 2. _&_ 3. and in other places infinite. ♦_P.
