" Wits Miserie and the Worlds madnesse. Discovering the Devils incarnate of this Age. 1596. " I know of no other copy of this Tract but that in the possession of Mr. George Chalmers. This deserves on every account a particular description. The 160 THOMAS LODGE. The old Serpent the Devill, is represented as sending out into the world seven Devills to draw the world to capital sinne, as God had ap- pointed seven capital Angels. " Of Sathans ministers, Leviathan is the first, that tempteth with pr...ide ; Mammon the second, that attempteth by avarice; Asmodeus the third, that seduceth by lecherie; Beelzebub the fourth, that inciteth to envie; Baalberith the fifth, that provoketh to ire ; Beelphegor the sixth, that moveth gluttony ; Astaroth the seventh, that in- duceth sloth and idlenes. " These seven capitall sinnes sent out into the world wanted no allurements to bewitch the eie, no oratory to seduce the eare, no subtilty to affect the senses: so that finally seazing on the hearts of men, and wedded to their thoughts they have brought foorth many and pernicious children, to the generall mischief of all nations.
