He. Finally, suche leude pleasures bee taken of fallible thinges, therefore || it foloweth that they be but delusios and shadowes.  What woulde you say furthermore, if you saw a ma so deceaued with sorcerie & also other detestable witchecraftes, eat, drynke, leap, laugh, yea, and clappe handes for ioye, when ther wer no such thyng there in very dede, as he beleueth he seeth. Spu. I wolde say he were both mad and miserable. Hedo. I my self haue been often in place, where the lyke thyng hath been doone.  There was a priest whiche knewe perfectly by longe experience and practise, the arte to make thynges seme that they were not, otherwise called, deceptio visus. Sp. He did not lerne that arte of the holy scripture? Hedo.
