To the Reader.
I Have entitled this Book (the world possessed with Devils) for two causes. The one, because I show there, how the Devil ruleth the world, he guideth & governeth worldly and carnal men as if they were possessed with Devils, and given over by Gods just judgement: the other, because that in holy Scripture, the world is many times taken, for such as are not lead by the Spirit of God, but serve the devil as their prince and God, in stead of their true God, and acknowledge him for their Creator, Father and Saviour.
I Haue intituled this Booke (the world possessed with Deuilles) for twoo causes. The one, because I shewe there, how the Deuill ruleth the worlde, he guideth & gouerneth worldly and carnall men as if thei were possessed with Deuills, and giuen ouer by Gods iust iudgemēt: the other, because that in holie Scripture, the worlde is many tymes taken, for suche as are not lead by the Spirit of God, but serue the deuill as their prince and God, in stead of their true God, and acknowledge him for their Creator, Father and Sauiour.
