Beasts, and trouble the elements, by vertue of that contract & agreement
which they haue made with him. For man they endamage both in body &
mind: In body, for [b]_Daneus_ reporteth of his owne knowledge, as an
eye-witnesse thereof, that he hath seene the breasts of Nurces (onely
touched by their hands) those sacred fountaines of humane nourishment so
dried vp that they could yeeld no milke; some suddenly tormented with
extreame and intolerable paine of the Cholicke, others[c] oppressed with
the Palsie, Leprosie, Gout, Apoplexie, &c. And thus disabled from the
performance of any action, many tortured with lingring consumptions,[d]
and not a few afflicted with such diseases, which neither they
themselues who wrought that euill, could afterward helpe; nor be cured
thereof by the Art and diligent attendance of most skilfull Physitians.
I willingly let passe other mischiefes wrought by them, of which many
things are deliuered in the Canon and Ciuill Lawes, in the Schoole-men,
and Diuines both ancient and moderne.
