Among the Gentiles, when these so qualitied persons did swarme, and were
accounted of high esteeme, there be reckoned vp whole troopes of this
blacke guard of the Diuell; As [l]_Circe_ whom _Homer_ reporteth to haue
turned _Vlysses_ Companions into Wolues, Lyons, Swine, &c. by her
Inchantments, insauaging and making them beast-like and furious.
_Medea_[m] famous in this kinde, for she murthered by Witch-craft
_Glauca_ in the day of her marriage, who enioyed _Iason_ her loue.
And[n] the Mortars of these two, wherein they stamped their Magicall
drugges, were for a long time kept in a certaine mountaine, and shewed
as strange monuments to those who desired a sight of them. For[o] the
Diuel furnisheth such with powders, oyntments, hearbes, and like
receipts, whereby they procure sicknesse, death, health, or worke other
supernaturall effects. Of the same profession were [p]_Simotha_,
[q]_Erictho_, [r]_Canidia_, and infinite others beside, whose damnable
memory deserueth to be buried in euerlasting obliuion.
