1. The certain and infallible prophecies of _Samuel_ so punctually coming to pass according as he foretold them, for it is said: _And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground_; were manifestly known to all _Israel_, as in the case of the destruction of _Eli_, and his house, and by the overthrow of the _Philistines_ at _Eben-ezer_, and in the anointing of _Saul_ to be King, and in the case of sending Thunder and Lightning in Harvest time, and such like. And as these were publickly known unto all _Israel_, and they had seen, and tryed what infallible certainty followed upon them, so it was as generally known, that _Samuel_ had told _Saul_ that God had rejected him from being King over _Israel_, and that he had anointed _David_ to be King in his stead; and therefore any rational Man, that knew these things, and also saw that _David_ prospered in all things that he did, and that it was quite otherwise with _Saul_, might certainly know that the Kingdome would be transferred from him unto _David_, and so there needed neither spirit nor Devil be fetched up to predict this, being sufficiently known unto all, of which also the Woman at _Endor_ could not be ignorant as a thing of concern to her, especially in the point of her practise which was meer couzenage and Imposture. And therefore Mr. _Glanvils_ argument concludes nothing, where he saith: “And this _Samuel_ truly foretold his approaching fate, _viz._ That _Israel_ should be delivered with him into the hands of the _Philistines_, and that on the morrow he, and his Sons should be in the state of the dead, which doubtless is meant by the expression that [_they should be with him_:] which contingent particulars, how could the couzener, and her confederate foretel, if there were nothing in it extraordinary and preternatural?” To answer which we say, that there was no contingent particular that was foretold, but Mr. _Glanvil_ might have foretold it, if he had been there, and known but that which was publickly divulged in _Israel_, without incurring the danger of being reputed a Witch or a Diviner.
