Psalms58:5
Verſ. 5. Which wil not hearken to the voyce of Charmers] Such there are,Vide Plin. lib. 2 c. 7 & l. 8. c. 3. Q[illegible: 1 letter]um caeperet incantatore[illegible: 2 letters] ſuum pati, allidit unam aurem terrae & caud[illegible: 1 letter] obrurat alteram Aug. in [illegible: 1 word] Horat. Epiſt. 2 the Devils ſpel-men, Eccleſ. 10.8. that can inchant ſome kind of Serpents, and ſome they cannot, as Jerem. 8.17. That the Serpent here ſpoken of, when ſhe beginneth to feel the Charmer, clappeth one of her ears cloſe to the ground, and ſtoppeth the other with her tayl, is affirmed by Hierom, Auſtin, and Caſſiodore. And that ſhee doth this, although by harkening to the Charmer provoking her to ſpet out her poyſon, ſhe might renew her age, is affirmed by others; ſemblably, perverſe people will not be perſwaded to live happily, reign everlaſtingly.
