[ 1682] The Devill's cunning to deceive.
IT was antiently said of Eucrates (a crafty Companion that would do any
thing for advantage)* 1.1Vias novit quibus ef••ugiat Eucrates, Eucrates has more tricks then one,* 1.2 there's no trap will easily catch him. So may we say of that
subtle Serpent the Devil (whose Agent every Godlesse Man is) that mille ha∣bet
nocendi artes, he hath a thousand wayes to deceive, he can either fingere per∣sonam,* 1.3 as when he appeared in Samuels mantle, or sumere personam when he gave that fatall rout to all Mankind;* 1.4 so it may make for his Hellish improve∣ment, he can transform himself into any shape whatsoever; nay, he knoweth
how to be an Angell of light to deceive (if it were possible) the very Elect.
