Out of an English old Manuscript called the Divine cloude of unknowing the [35? or 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. Example of this may be seen in one in [shared?] of all labor.For as I have concended of some differplus of Nigromacie [not?] have in science. to make Invocasion of wicked spiritts; and some to whom her Devel halv appeared in bodily likenes; That (immnasa)l bodily likenes the fiend appeareth evermore be both but our mastred [nor?] is [?ow?]. And he will gladly cast it up that a man may see in [though?] he [his?] brayne up in (his bed); (nor?) brayne is naught else but the fire of Hell; for the fiend may have none other brayne; and if he might make a man looks in thereto, he keepeth matter for as that looking he shall lose his witts fo rever. But a (pteel prentice of (negromancies?) knoweth) This wel enough and can (work? ordayn?) therefore So (???) it hurteth him not.
