Nothing is more pleasing to the malice of those wicked Spirits then to see [illegible] wrong'd. And the power of the Enemy is such that having a new [illegible] a divine [illegible] to use his arts, he does this and much more than this amounts unto. We know by Scripture Revealation, that the Sorcerers of Egypt by their Inchantments caused many untrue and delusive representations before Shazroh and his Sorrts, Ex. 9.11, 12 and or 9. & we read of the working of [underlined: Satan with all power and signs & lying wonders] [illegible] his art is beyond [illegible] of men may pretend unto. he has perfect Skill in Opticks and can therefore cause that to be visible to one which is not so for another. and things also to appear for otherwise than they are. he has likewise the art of Sinning in the perfection of its knoweth what may be done by [illegible].
