Book II, 11: On Sauls Witch
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book II
Religion
When Saul receiv'd no answer down frō heav'n
How quickly was his jealous passion driven
A despr'ate Course! He needs must cure the Itch
Of his extreame desiers, by a Witch:
When wee have lost our way to God, how levell,
How easie to be found's the way toth' Divell.
