Query II.
Bethink your selves seriously, Whether Troubles so quieted and laid asleep, will not revive and turn again upon thee with a double force, as soon as the virtue of the Drug (I mean the Erroneous Principle) hath spent it self?
Bethink your selves seriously, Whether Troubles so quieted and laid asleep, will not revive and turn again upon thee with a double force, as soon as the vertue of the Drug (I mean the Erroneous Principle) hath spent it self?
The efficacy of Truth is eternal, and will maintain the peace it gives, for ever; but all delusions must vanish, and the Troubles which they dammed up for a time, break out with a greater force. Satan employs two sorts of Witches. Some to torment the Bodies of Men with grievous pain and anguish: but then he hath his White-Witches at hand to relieve and ease them. And have these poor Wretches any great cause (think you) to boast of the cure, who are eased of their pains at the price of their Souls?
