Howbeit, when I denie that witches can ride in the aire, and the miraculous circumstance thereof: by and by it is objected unto me, that _Enoch_ and _Elie_ were rapt into heaven bodilie; and that _Abacuke_ was carried in the aire, to feed _Daniel_: and so falselie oppose a divels or a witches power against the vertue of the Holy-ghost. If I deride the poets opinions, saieng, that witches cannot _Cœlo deducere lunam_, fetch the moone from heaven, &c: they tell me that at _Joshuas_ battell the sunne staied, and at the passion of Christ there was palpable darknes. If I denie their cunning in the exposition of dreames, advising them to remember _Jeremies_ counsell, not to followe or credit the expositors of dreames; they hit me in the teeth with _Daniel_ and _Joseph_: for that the one of them expounded _Pharao_ the _Persian_ kings, the other _Nabuchadnez-zar_ the _Aegyptian_ kings dreame. If I saie with _Salomon_, that the dead knowe nothing, and that the dead knowe us not, neither are remooveable out of _Abrahams_ bosome, &c: they produce the storie of _Samuel_: wherein, I saie, they set the power of a creature as high as the creator. If I saie, that these witches cannot transubstantiate themselves, nor others into beasts, &c. they cite the storie of _Nabuchadnez-zar_; as though indeed he were made a materiall beast, and that also by witchcraft; and strengthen that their assertion with the fables of _Circe_ and _Ulysses_ his companions, &c. ♦2. Reg. 2. 13.♦ ♦Eccles. 9, 5.♦ ♦1. Sam. 28.♦ The seventh Chapter. _What were the miracles expressed in the old testament, and what are they in the new testament: and that we are not now to looke for anie more miracles._ The miracles expressed in the old testament were manie, but the end of them all was one, though they were divers and differing in shew: as where the sacrifices of _Moses_, _Elias_, and _Salomon_, being abundantlie wet were burnt with fier from heaven, &c. The varietie of toongs at the building of _Babylon_, _Isaachs_ birth of _Sarah_ being by nature past children, the passage through the red sea, _Daniels_ foretelling of the foure monarchies, in the fourth whereof he apparantlie foresheweth the comming of the Lord. All these, and manie other, which are expressed in the old testament, were mercifull instructions and notable miracles to strengthen the faith of Gods people in their Messias. If you had gone to _Delphos_, _Apollo_ would have made you beleeve with his amphibologicall answers, that he could have foretold you all these things. ♦Gen. 11, 6. Gen. 21. Dan. 11.♦
