Sect. I.
Enchantment is the working of wonders by a Charm.1 This the Lord expressly forbiddeth, Deuter. 18. 11. Let none be found among you, that is a Charmer. In this description, two points are to be considered: 1. what things may be done by enchantment, namely wonders, for I say it is the practise of wonders: 2. by what means these wonders are wrought, ⟨p. 128⟩that is, by a Charm.
