10. As for the Witches either Males or Females, having carnal Copulation with Devils, either as an _Incubus_ or _Succubus_, and their stealing of seed from a man, and conveying it into the vessels of the woman, it is in it self so horrid, monstrous, and incredible, that I cannot well believe him to be a rational person, or _sanæ mentis_, that believes it as a truth, and therefore cannot but think the rehearsal of it a sufficient confutation. Also herein I do appeal to all learned Physicians, who do know the way that Nature breeds humane seed, the causes that make it prolifical, and the members fit for its generation and reception, who (I doubt not) will deride this Tenent, and condemn it, as false and abominable. Moreover, the horrid absurdity of it hath been sufficiently demonstrated by _Wierus_, Dr. _Tandlerus_, Mr. _Scot_, Mr. _Wagstaff_, and others: and therefore all we shall say is this: “That Devils, whether conceived to be corporeal or incorporeal, and to assume bodies (for the one it must of necessity be) were not created of God to generate, neither have they, nor can have any seed, or members fit for generation; and therefore to copulate or generate is derogatory from the glory of Nature, and blasphemous against God and his Power.” As for the Devils sucking the Teats, Warts, or such like excrescences of the Witches bodies, we should have passed it over as easily as the former, but only that Mr. _Glanvil_ hath taken up the Cudgels to defend it: to confute which, we shall give these satisfactory Reasons.
