2. By entering into the corps of some dead body, making it speak and walk as he pleaseth: which is not denied by Divines, but the Devil by Gods sufferance ⟨p. 38⟩may do; but with two proviso's. 1. This must be the body of a reprobate, that he assumes: for the godly sleep in peace. Isaiah. 57. God gives him a Nolito tangeremeos, saepevivos, semper morevos. 1Touch not mine, either living, or dead. 2. If it be a reprobate corps, yet he can appear in it no longer, then naturally he can preserve it from corrupting. But that Satan can keep a carcass from putrefying, further then nature permits, it is generally and truly denied. And even these black shadows, (blessed be God) in this Sun-shine of the Gospel, are abolished.
