CHAP. XI. (Book 11)
That Witches are not to be sought unto. The Conclusion of the whole work. (Book 11)
THough some have made use of that common Distinction of good Witches and bad, to encourage themselves, and make some pretences for their recourse to those unlawful means, yet therein they do but de∣ceive themselves; forasmuch as all sorts of Witchcraft and Divination are forbidden by the Holy Scriptures. It is expresly forbidden, Levit. 19. 31. and in Saul we have an Example here∣of, who added to his sin of Diso∣bedience, that of enquiring at one that had a Familiar Spirit; yet the profit he received was (but what is gotten by such as forsake the only true God, and run after lies?) the know∣ledge of his own and his sons De∣struction.
