Out of an English old Manuscript called the Divine Clowde of Unknowing the 55. chapter.

In holy writ as often as any Angel was sent in body evermore it was showed by his name or by some Instrument or qualitie of his body; what his maker or his message was in spirite. In the same maner it fareth wth the fiend; for when he appeareth in body he figureth in some qualitie of his body what his servants be in spirite. En sample of this may be seen in one in steed of all othor. For as I have conceived of some dyerplos of Nigromaur w'ch have in science to make Invoocasion of wicked spiritts; and some to whom the divel hath appeared in bodily likenes; That in what bodily likenes the fiend appeareth evermore he hath but one nostrel w'ch is lowe. And he will gladly cast it up that a man may see in therat to his brayne up in his hed; w'ch brayne is nought els but the fire of Hell; for the fiend may have none other brayne; And yf he might make a man looke in therto, he keepeth no alter for at that looking he shall lose his witts forever. But a pfect prentice of Necromancie knoweth this wel enough and can wel ordayne therfore So that it hurteth him not./
