Again he saith, 1Scit Rex Assyrius, non posse se Oves decipere, nisi Pastores ante consopierit. Semper Diaboli studium est, vigilantes animas consopire: The King of Assyria (that is the Devil) knoweth, that he can never deceive the Sheep, onlesse first he caste the Shepherds into a trance. It is evermore the Devils policy, to lay watchful Souls asleep.
Againe he saithe, 1Scit Rex Assyrius, non posse se Oues decipere, nisi Pastores ante consopierit. Semper Diaboli studium est, vigilantes animas consopire: The Kinge of Assyria (that is the Diuel) knoweth, that he can neuer deceiue the Sheepe, onlesse firste he caste the Sheepeheardes into a traūce. It is euermore the Diuels policie, to laie watcheful Soules asleepe.
