By the Devil also are dreams sometimes moved, for Augustine in the place alredy alledged de Genisi ad literam writeth, that one possessed with a Devil, by dreams declared in what hour a priest would come unto him, & through what places he would pass.1 And we are not ignorant that the Ethnics had oracles, where men were all night to obtain visions and dreams. Such a one was the oracle of Amphiarus, Amphilochus, Trophonius, and of Aesculapius. In those places, the Devil showed unto those which slept, remedies and medicines to heal such as were sick: and therewithal also he gave answer of other matters. And to obtain such visions and dreams, there were commanded unto those which came to enquire of any thing, I cannot tell what choice of meats, and separate lodgings,2 and certain pure and chaste days. It is said also that the Scholars of Pythagoras eschewed beans, because they make troublesome dreams. But our God, to declare that he is not bound to those things, showed unto Daniel the kings dream, when he and his fellows by prayers had vehemently desired it of him. And it is not to be doubted but that the devil can mingle him self with dreams,3 when as through his diligence there have been and also are now many false Prophets, wherefore Augustine in his book before alleged the .xix. chap. If an evil spirit (saith he) possess men, he maketh them either devilish, or mad, or else false prophets. And contrariwise a good spirit maketh faithful prophets, speaking mysteries to the edification of other.
By the Deuil also are dreames sometimes moued, for Augustine in the place alredy alledged de Genisi ad literam writeth, that one possessed wyth a Deuil, by dreames declared in what houre a priest would come vnto him, & through what places he would passe.1 And we are not ignorant that the Ethnikes had oracles, where men were al night to obtaine visions and dreames. Suche a one was the oracle of Amphiarus, Amphilochus, Trophonius, and of Esculapius. In those places, the Deuil shewed vnto those whiche slept, remedies and medicines to heale suche as were sycke: and therwithal also he gaue answer of other matters. And to obtaine such visions and dreames, there were commaunded vnto those which came to enquire of any thing, I cannot tel what choise of meates, and separate lodginges,
