as blind? Or it might be it was the more to amuse and amaze the wretched and deluded King, or to shew the wonderfulness of the apparition she feigned that astonishment, the more to magnifie her skill and cunning. Well, admit these were so, yet however it is manifest, notwithstanding her great voice, that as yet _Saul_ saw nothing, but stood waiting like a drown’d Puppet to hear what would be the issue, for all he understood was from her cunning and lying relation. And so either thus far it is manifest that they were in distinct rooms, or there was nothing that he could see. 3. The next thing is, he saith, _be not afraid, what sawest thou?_ that is, though I be _Saul_, yet be not afraid, I have sworn, and thou shalt receive no harm, but _what sawest thou?_ As who should say, I see nothing as yet at all, but I suppose thou hast seen something; for otherwise his question doth not agree with the words the Woman spake before. But however it is manifest that as yet he saw nothing, and therefore rationally it must be supposed that they were in distinct rooms, or that there was nothing visible, that he could see. Further, his question is not in the present tense but of the time past, _what sawest thou?_ or what hast thou seen? which could not be congruously spoken, if they had been both in one room, but however do undeniably conclude that as yet he saw nothing at all. 4. The next is the Womans lying and forged answer, thereby to magnifie her own craft, and the more to amuse and astonish poor deluded _Saul_, saying; _Behold I saw gods ascending out of the earth._ Well, it is still apparent that as _Saul_ could not before see _Samuel_, now he neither seeth these Gods she telleth him of, nor any such thing: So that all that he apprehended was from her forged Stories, for he saw nothing as yet, either because he was not in the same room with her, or that there was no visible apparition. 5. Then he maketh another absurd question, like a distracted Man in the house of _Bethlem_, saying, _what form is he of?_ when his question should have been, what forms are they of? for she spoke of Gods which are plural, and more than one, but he asketh in the singular, _what form is he of_. By all which it is manifest, that he yet saw nothing at all. For when we plainly see a thing, we do not usually ask others what form it is of, because our eyes can inform us of that. So that he saw nothing, either because he was not in the same room, or that there appeared nothing that was visible. 6. Now after all these ambiguous lies, and delatory cheats, the crafty quean doth begin to come more near, to give satisfaction to the blinded expectation of _Saul_, who all this while stood gaping to see the appearance of _Samuel_, and so she tells him (who was fit to believe any thing, though never so absurd, or impossible) _behold an old man comes up, and he is covered with a mantle_. In the beginning of the action, the Text saith, _and
