contrary to the plain Doctrine of the Scripture, must needs be false. But this tenent of _Samuels_ Soul acting in the Body after death, is flatly contrary to the plain Doctrine of the Scripture, _ergo_ it is false. The major (we suppose) no Orthodox Christian can justly deny; and the minor is proved thus. The Scripture doth assure us, that _those that die in the Lord_ (as without all doubt _Samuel_ did) _are blessed, and rest from their labours_. Therefore must this Tenent be abominably false: for if the Soul of _Samuel_, after his death had been brought again to act in the Body, then he had not rested from his labours, but had been disquieted, and brought to new trouble, to have been vexed to have seen _Saul_ committing more wickedness than before, in taking counsel from a cursed Idolatrous Woman, such as the Lord had commanded to be destroyed. And there is no one point in all this transaction of _Saul_ with the Witch, that speaketh her Imposture more apparently than where this counterfeit _Samuel_ saith, _Why hast thou disquieted me?_ As though the Saints of God after death could be disquieted by a Devil, or a Witch, who (according to Gods infallible truth) are blessed, and rest from their labours, and are in the hands of the Lord, where no Torments can touch them. And therefore none would have spoken those lying words, but a devilish cheating quean, or a damnable suborned confederate. 6. If _Samuels_ Soul was again joined to his body so long after separation, and so performed vital actions, who was the author of this conjunction or union? could the Witch or the Devil or any created power effect that union? Surely not, none but the almighty power of Jehovah, who breathed into _Adam_ the breath of life. And therefore we are bold to assert (with all the company of learned Christians) that this opinion is erroneous, impious and blasphemous. [Sidenote: 1 Sam. 15. 33.] [Sidenote: Verse 29.]
