Secondly, There are diabolical dreams; the devil knows how to stir the humours and work upon the phantasies of the children of men. Satan is skilful and diligent in soliciting our lusts and corruptions both day and night, and they being once solicited or moved to work, cannot but work in us both sleeping and waking. Yea the devil can inspire false doctrines and opinions by dreams, as well as provoke to wicked practises. Of such dreamers we read (Deut: 13.1, 3.) If there be among you a false Prophet, or a dreamer of dreams. False Prophets had many dreams (Jer: 23.25.) Such were wont to say, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Because the holy Prophets had their dreams from God, the Devil would give his unholy Prophets dreams too, which were lies and vanity, deceits and errors, leading them out of the way of God, whether we respect truth of doctrine, or purity of worship. We may reduce all diabolical dreams to these two heads; They are either, First, false dreams, that is, dreams of falsehood, for he is the father and former of lies; or, Secondly, they are filthy defiling dreams; for he is an unclean spirit, and the fueller of all filthy fires and uncleannesses, whether corporal or spiritual.

Yea the devill can inspire false doctrines and opinions by dreames, as well as provoke to wicked practises. Of such dreamers we read (Deut: 13.1, 3.) If there be among you a false Prophet, or a dreamer of dreames. False Prophets had many dreams (Jer: 23.25.) Such were wont to say, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Because the holy Prophets had their dreams from God, the Devill would give his unholy Prophets dreams too, which were lies and vanity, deceits and errours, leading them out of the way of God, whether we respect truth of doctrine, or purity of worship. We may reduce all diabolicall dreames to these two heads; They are either, First, false dreames, that is, dreames of falshood, for he is the father and former of lyes; or, Secondly, they are filthy defiling dreames; for he is an uncleane spirit, and the feweller of all filthy fires and uncleannesses, whether corporall or spirituall.
