1. Because _Samuels_ prophecies were certainly known to come to pass, and he had openly declared, that the Kingdom should be rent from _Saul_, and given to _David_. 2. She or her confederate might have guessed as much, because of the extream fear and consternation that _Saul_ was in, for heartless and fearful Generals seldom or never win Battels. 3. Because that he confessed that God had forsaken him, and when he saw the hoast of the _Philistines_, he was afraid and his heart greatly trembled, and those that God doth forsake cannot prosper. 4. The word _to morrow_ in the Hebrew doth not precisely denote the day following, but the time to come, so that how true soever Mr. _Glanvil_ may think it, there was but a piece of ambiguous Equivocation in it, for it cannot be made out that it was fought the very next day, neither were all _Sauls_ Sons slain with him, at that very time. 5. And if nothing must be supplied but meerly what is _totidem verbis_ in the Text (as he urgeth against Mr. _Scot_) then how will it be proved, that the Phrase (_to morrow thou and thy Sons shall be with me_) is to be understood of the state of the dead, seeing the words (if literally to be taken) do imply a locality, not a state or condition? 6, But if it be supposed to be the Devil, how comes he to know contingencies so certainly? It is a thing that is easily affirmed, but was never yet sufficiently proved. For if it be said he gathered it from the Prophecie of _Samuel_, so might the Witch have done without any assistance of a Devil. 7. And if he take it to be _Samuels_ Soul (as he seems to hold) how come departed Souls to know, and foresee what contingent effects are to fall out here below? Where reads he or finds any such Divinity except in Popish Authors? But he may consult the Text: _Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not_.
