Lucan the Poet writeth that one / resuscitated from death to live / showed unto Sextus Pompeius what should be the success / and end / of the battle in the fields / of Thessaly. so writeth Plin. lib. 37. ca. 11. and Tully lib. 1. Tusc. Quest. so did the shadow of Samuel show the death of Saul 1. Reg. 28. The same doth the devil show unto many that by the abuse of God's name use superstitious conjurations / and enchantments / when they sick the truth of the devil / and dead bodies / and leave the word of the living God. Augustus the emperor for bid this superstitious art / and Claudius the emperor clean abolished ⟨p. LXXXIX⟩it / Cesar lib. 6. How the law of Christian Emperors hath for bidden / and punished this ungodly arts thou mayst read Cod. lib. 9. Tit. 18. The law civil punisheth it / with banishment / with the sword / and to be torn with bests. Culpa similis est, tam prohibita discere, quam docere. that is to say. the fault is one / to learn / and to teach the things for bidden. Read the 18. cap. of Deut. and there thou shalt find / as many names of those that use for bidden arts / as be rehearsed by Constantine / and Julian the Emperors / Cod. lib. 9. Tit. 18. and like wise the same arts. and as Moses for biddeth all the people those ungodly arts / so doth those Emperors. Both Moses in God's laws / and these Emperors in mans laws punisheth with death / the transgressors of this commandment. Moses Deut. 13. prescribeth this payne. Propheta ille, aut somniator somniorum occidi debet, eo quod aversionem loquutus sit ā domino deo uestro. that is to say. that prophet / or dreamer of dreams must be slain / be cause he hath spoken a defection / or apostasy from the lord / your god. more at large / is this pain written Levit 20. and Esa. ca. 47. read the places. The execution of the pain against the transgressors Read 1. Reg. 28.4. Reg. 23. in the law of man / we read thus. Sileat omnibus perpetuo divinandi curiositas. etenim ⟨p. XC⟩suppliciū capitis ferret, gladio ultore prostratus, quicunque nostris jussis obsequiū denegaverit, Cod. lib. 9. Tit. 18. that is to say / the superstition of fore destining / is for bidden always unto all men / and who so ever obey not our commandments / is condemned unto the sword / and shall suffer the lost of his head.
