4. _Luthers_ Translation of this place is remarkable, which is this, =Dass sie nicht hoere die stimme dess Zauberers, dess Beschwerers der wol besch weren kan=. Which in English runs thus, That doth not hear the voice of the Magicians or Charmers, the Conjurors or Exorcists, that well conjure can. And agreeable to this is the translation of the Low-Dutch. So that the sense is, that the deaf Asp stoppeth her ear against the voice of the Charmers, those that have sworn together (it may be that common error and opinion had prevailed so far with learned _Luther_, as doth appear by his exposition upon the third Chapter to the _Galathians_, that he believed that the Witch, and the Devil were in compact, and sworn together) and that were most cunning in that art. But this doth but in a manner beg the question, not prove it, for all will but amount to this, that the Asp cannot be charmed, no not by those that have the greatest skill in the matter of incantation. 5. The French Translators render it thus: _Lequel n’écoute point la voix des enchanteurs, ni du charmeur fort expert en charmes_, Which will in no point hear the voice of the inchanter, nor of the Charmer that is expert in charms. And this proveth nothing at all of joyning societies, nor of compacts. The Italian version giveth it thus, _Accioche non oda la voce de glivoce incantatori, del venefico incantante incantationi di dotto_. In English thus, Which doth not hear the voice of the inchanter, of the Witch (if that be the signification of the word _venefico_, a poysoner) inchanting with the incantation of the learned: And this is most near the Hebrew of all the rest, and beareth thus much, That the Asp doth not hearken to the voice of the inchanter, of the Charmer which useth the charms that were framed and conjoyned by a learned Clerk: so that if associating be comprised, it must be understood of the framing and joyning of the charms, which doubtless was the composure of those that were very learned, especially if they work by a natural operation, of which we shall discourse hereafter.
