_Invisible-world_ should spoil some of their sport, will endeavour to turn them all into sport, for which _Buffoonary_ their only pretence will be, _they cant understand how such things as these could be done_ whereas indeed he that is but Philosopher enough to have read but one _Little Treatise_, Published in the Year 1656, by no other Man than the Chyrurgion of an _Army_, or but one Chap. of _Helmont_,[28] which I will not quote at this time too particularly, may give a far more intelligible account of these _Appearances_ than most of these _Blades_ can give _why_ and how their _Tobacco_ makes 'em Spit; or which way the flame of their Candle becomes illuminating, as for that _cavil, the world would be undone if the Devils could have such power as they seem to have in several of our stories_,[29] it may be Answered that as to many things the _Lying Devils_ have only known them to be done, and then pretended unto the doing of those things, but the true and best Answer is, that by these things we only see what the _Devils_ could have _powers_ to do, if the great God should give them those powers, whereas now our Histories affords a _Glorious Evidence for the being of a God_, the World would indeed be _undone_, and horribly _undone_, if these Devils, who now and then get liberty to play some very mischievous pranks, were not under a daily restraint of some _Almighty Superior_ from doing more of such Mischiefs. Wherefore instead of all Apish _flouts_ and _jeers_ at Histories, which have such undoubted confirmation, as that no Man that has breeding enough to regard the Common Laws of _Humane Society_, will offer to doubt of 'em, it becomes us rather to adore the goodness of God, who does not permit such things every day to befall us _all_, as he sometimes did permit to befall some few of our miserable Neighbours.
