THou therefore, O* 1.1 Homicide, Repro∣bate, Son of Perdition, I conjure thee by his sign that appeared in the Heavens, which the Shep∣herds saw, and the Wise-men adored; by him whom Angels and Archangels praise, that thou presently depart from that Vessel and Creature of Christ, that thou go to the bottom of the Sea, or* 1.2 into some old Trees, or in∣to some Desarts where no Christians inhabit, and where the Lightning from Heaven may consume thee. May the
Son, and Holy Ghost, and true Majesty of God compel thee to go forth. I conjure thee, wicked Devil, by him whose Name is Jesus of Nazareth, that thou presently depart at the first word of the Lord from this Servant of God, I conjure thee by him, at whose Birth the Holy Angels sang, Glory be to God, &c. Whom the Wise-men coming from the East a∣dored, offering to him Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. I conjure thee by him at whose Birth a Star appeared in Heaven, of whom Isaiah prophesied, saying, A Star shall arise in Jacob: and* 1.3 by him whom the mute A∣nimals knew, as it is writ∣ten, The ox knows his owner, and the ass his masters crib. I conjure thee by him whom Herod would have slain, but could not; and for whom the holy Innocents were martyred, with whose blood the holy Jerusalem is adorn∣ed. I conjure thee by him who fled with his mo∣ther into Egypt, and at Canaan in Galilee turn∣edwater* 1.4 into wine; whom Pilate crowned with a Crown of Thorns; whom * 1.5 Longinus pierced with a Lance, and who upon the Cross cryed out, Eli,
Eli, Lammasabachtani. I conjure thee by him who was found in the Temple disputing with the Doctors; was crucified upon the Cross between two Thieves, and in the midst of the Air. And by him who after his Resurrection stood in the midst of his Disciples, saying, Peace be unto you, fear not, 'tis I. I con∣jure thee by him who died and was buried, who de∣scended* 1.6 into Hell, and de∣livered his own from the Devil, particularly Adam the first Man, and rose again the third day, and forty days after ascended into Heaven. May he eject thee, and compel thee to depart this body, and the joynts of the members of this Creature of God N — He that cast thee from Heaven, let him compel thee to declare the name of thy Master, and whether thou art alone or not, or whether any Legion be with thee. I conjure thee by him that built Pa∣radise, encompassing it in* 1.7 with the four Rivers, Gy∣on, Physion, Tigris and Euphrates, whom thou wouldst have tempted, say∣ing, If thou art the Son of God, com∣mand these stones to be made bread; and then shewing him all the Kingdoms of the World wentest on, All these will I give thee, if
thou wilt fall down and worship me. I con∣jure thee by him, who gave thee for his answer, Hence Satan, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, but him only shalt thou serve.
Here are so many Notes and Marks gi∣ven by the Conjurer what he means, that one would think the Devil should have no excuse. But for fear the Devil should have been lull'd asleep with so much vain Repetition and Tautology, he is resolved to rouse him again with
What need he ask the Devil his name, when he knows him so well?
It seems there are worse places than Hell.
He supposes the De∣vil well read in Scri∣pture, and as good an Expositor as him∣self.
He is very careful to rub up the Devils memory.
That perhaps was more than the Devil knew.
This is Conjurers Theology.
He takes the Devil for a Nicodemus; o∣therwise a word to the Wise had been sufficient.
