Magia, Persica vox est, latine sapientia:
Estque duplex: Naturalis & licita, materque vere medicinae, & est
occulta nature sapientia in centrum vsq; latens & abdita, cum qua si
humanam rationem conferas, nihil prater meram stultitiaam in hac reperies. Veri
donum Dei est, quo nobis rerum supernaturalium cognitionem exhibet, non
daemonum inspiratione, qui nihil perfectum habent, neque docent. Alia vero est
illicita, superstitiosa & a tota Ecclesia Christiana prohibita, quam
Necromantiam appellant, exsecrabilis & nullibi toleranda. Inde occultata sapientia.
[MAGIA, or
MAGIC --- is a Persian word; in Latin it is Sapientia, i.e., Wisdom. It is
twofold. The first is natural and permissible, the mother of true medicine, the
secret lore of nature, hidden and concealed in the very centre, and compared
with which all human reason is sheer foolishness. It is truly the gift of God,
displaying to us the knowledge of things supernatural, and not proceeding from
the inspiration of demons, wherein is no perfection or instruction. The other
magic is unlawful, superstitious, and forbidden by the whole Church of Christ

loquuntur, terrefaciunt aliquando, suam originem ducunt ex imaginationibus
hominum, quales vivi de vel cum mortuis habent.

terror.They are born of imagination.]
