40686The woman, having finished her bath, cried out in great anger,''What thief has been here in broad day?
40686Their Allah or Elohim they heard say,--''Why howlest thou to me?
40686Then Mara challenged him,''Tell me now, where is the man that can bear witness for thee?''
40686They would be shocked if told that they had burned great men, and would surely answer,''Men?

40686This that is glorious in his apparel, Travelling in the greatness of his strength?
40686Thou ever stretch thy hand to still the tears Of the perplexed in spirit?
40686Thus we read:--''Abigail Williams, did you see a company at Mr. Parris''s house eat and drink?
40686To her child''s inquiry,''What sort of beetle is this I found wriggling in the sand?''
40686To her he said,''Who art thou, so fair beyond all whom I have seen in the land of the living?''
40686To what will they aspire, those students moving so light- hearted amid the dead dragons and satans of an extinct world?
40686Was anything seen?
40686Was it an old sin?''
40686Was it first suggested by its horrible human- like sleep- murdering caterwaulings at night?
40686Was it for me, Satan, to whom thou hast chosen to become a mentor, to point them out to thee?
40686Was it not Almighty Time, and ever- during Fate-- My lords and thine-- that shaped and fashioned me Into the MAN I am?
40686What advocate can he command?
40686What can a man do but pray and acknowledge his sinfulness?
40686What chief of mortals is there who has never told a lie-- who has never swerved from the course of justice?''
40686What did these good fairies do?
40686What explanation can be given of the evil repute of our household friend the Cat?
40686What has become of that one?
40686What if he had seen death as an eternal sleep?
40686What is created still must fall, And fairest still we frailest call; Will not Christ''s blood avail for all?
40686What is the difference between St. Wolfram''s God and King Radbot''s Devil?
40686What is the meaning of the curse on the Serpent that it should for ever crawl thereafter?
40686What is the remedy?
40686What is, your theory?
40686What matters it when death comes?
40686What news?
40686What sort of man was he?
40686What the hand dared seize the fire?
40686What then controls human passion and selfishness?
40686What was it?
40686What was seen on this strongly- authenticated occasion?
40686What will she say if she sees him promoted a step higher,--nay, perhaps, meets him in heaven?''
40686What would she have you do with it?
40686When the stars threw down their spears And water heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see?
40686When will they see in any stone mirror the real shape of a double- tongued Culture-- one fork intoning litanies, another whispering contempt of them?
40686Where is Michael, the special advocate of Israel?
40686Where, O Rudra, is that gracious hand of thine, which is healing and comforting?
40686Where?
40686Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, And thy garments like him that treadeth the wine- vat?
40686Wherefore, like a coward, dost thou for ever pip and whimper, and go cowering and trembling?
40686Wherefore?
40686Who art thou?
40686Who baptized them?
40686Who built it?
40686Who can carve there the wrongs that await their powers of redress?
40686Who can face them?
40686Who can set before them, with all its baseness, the true emblem of pious fraud?
40686Who gave me succour Against the Titans in their tyrannous might?
40686Who go to Paradise?
40686Who is this that cometh from Edom, In dyed garments from Bozrah?
40686Who rescued me from death-- from slavery?
40686Who, then, is the guide of Necessity?
40686Whose mind is not led astray by the thickly clustering moonbeams?''
40686Why administer the rod which enlightens as to the anger but not its cause, or as to the way of amend?)
40686Why are you afflicted?
40686Why can not this one and all others be cast out?
40686Why did they starve and scourge their bodies, and roll them in thorns?
40686Why did we pass by the mansions of the good and the just?
40686Why not punish the Devil instead of threatening poor wretches whom he deceives?''
40686Why shall I for his favour serve, Bend to him in such vassalage?
40686Why should mankind make thee a jest, When thou canst show a face like this?
40686Why should that particular Tree-- of a species common in the district and not usually very large-- have grown so huge?
40686Why shouldst thou regard the seed of Abraham before us?''

40686Why then need we apologise for the Fijians?
40686Why twelve?
40686Why was the Living banished thither, companionless, conscious?
40686Why was the Serpent slipped into the Ark or coffer and hid behind veils?
40686Why was the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil forbidden?
40686Why, if there is no Devil; nay, unless the Devil is your God?''
40686Why, when its fruit was tasted, should the Tree of Life have been for the first time forbidden and jealously guarded?
40686Why?
40686Will you not deliver the Bráhman?

40686he cried,''is it thus you repay my benefits?
40686intrude ye thus into my presence?
40686knowest thou that none of these save that last holy one-- whom methinks thou namest too lightly among men-- were baptized?
40686no dire punishments?
40686or has it simply suffered from a theological curse on the cats said to draw the chariots of the goddesses of Beauty?
40686or was it merely demonised because of its uncanny and shaggy appearance?
40686they asked,''Have you ever seen him?''
40686what has led thee to depart from the Prince of thy gods?
40686what is the sum- total of the worst that lies before thee?
40686what, are you going to slaughter this poor woman?
40686whence comest, and with what message freighted?
40686why not bulls?
40686wilt thou go with me?
29412And Bernier, our fellow- citizen, what is become of him?
29412And have you seen this master?
29412And what did she do to give you this power?
29412And what do you come here for?
29412And whence comes it that you know me?
29412Do you know that now you see nothing with the eyes of your body?
29412In a dream?
29412Now, how can he approve a dissertation false in itself and contrary to himself? 29412 Of what may we not believe the imagination capable, after so strong a proof of its power?
29412Well, then, with what eyes do you behold me?
29412When is it,he says afterwards,"that the oracles have ceased to reply throughout all Greece, but since the advent of the Saviour on earth?
29412Who art thou? 29412 [ 161] And in Ecclesiasticus,"Who will pity the enchanter that has been bitten by the serpent?
29412''I knew it well,''said she;''did I not behold it the day before yesterday?''"
29412( or"What can I do for you?")
29412A little while after, he adds,"But what shall we say of that magic they held in such admiration?
29412ARE THE VAMPIRES OR REVENANS REALLY DEAD?
29412After mass, St. Augustin, preceded by the cross, went to ask this dead man why he went out?
29412After such avowals, what can we think of the doctrine of this chief of the innovators?
29412After this, must we not own that the Greeks of to- day are not great Greeks, and that there is only ignorance and superstition among them?
29412Again, what shall we say of those tacit compacts so often mentioned by the author, and which he supposes to be real?
29412And again, how could he satisfy it with a demon, who appeared to him in the form of a girl he loved?
29412And had not their accomplices also, whose names must have been declared, as much to fear?
29412And how can we reconcile this concurrence with the wisdom, independence, and truth of God?
29412And if Samuel appeared to Saul, how could it take place if Samuel had no members?
29412And if he had received it, was he not at the same time reconciled to the church?
29412And if he was there bodily, how could he render himself invisible?
29412And if his excommunication was only regular and minor, would he deserve after his martyrdom to be excluded from the presence of the holy mysteries?
29412And if these bodies are merely phantomic, how can they suck the blood of living people?
29412And in his treatise on the soul, he exclaims,"What shall we say of magic?
29412And what glory to God, what advantage to men, could accrue from these apparitions?
29412And why do we not make any use of so wonderful an art in armies?
29412And would Jacob have asked him for his blessing had he deemed him a bad angel?
29412Another time he saw the same young man, who said to him,"Do you know me?"
29412Are the Vampires or Revenans really Dead?
29412Are there not still to be found people who are so simple, or who have so little religion, as to buy these trifles very dear?
29412Are these equivocal marks of the reality of obsessions?
29412Are they not interred?
29412As they were conversing in her presence of the singularity of the adventure which here happened at St. Maur,''Why are you so much astonished?''
29412At last they asked what was the name of him who should succeed to the Emperor Valens?
29412Besides that, of how many crimes were they not guilty in the use of their spells?
29412But are they not rather magicians, who render themselves invisible, and divert themselves in disquieting the living?
29412But can anything more strange be thought of than what is said of tacit compacts?
29412But how can they come out of their graves without opening the earth, and how re- enter them again without its appearing?
29412But if the dead know not what is passing in this world, how can they be troubled about their bodies being interred or not?
29412But what can you obtain in favor of heresy from sensible and upright people, to whom God has thus manifested the power of his church?
29412But what could it avail the demon to give the treasure to these gentlemen, who did not ask him for it, and scarcely troubled themselves about him?
29412But what is the use of so many arguments?
29412But why amuse ourselves with fruitless researches?
29412By what authority did the demon take away this boy''s life, and then restore it to him?
29412CAN A MAN WHO IS REALLY DEAD APPEAR IN HIS OWN BODY?
29412CAN THESE INSTANCES BE APPLIED TO THE HUNGARIAN GHOSTS?
29412Can a Man really Dead appear in his own Body?
29412Can an angel or a demon restore a dead man to life?
29412Can it be the spirit of the defunct, which has not yet forsaken them, or some demon, which makes their apparition in a fantastic and borrowed body?
29412Can so simple an agent as the soul act upon itself, and reproduce it in some sort by thinking, after it has ceased to think?
29412Can the soul when separated from the body re- enter it when it will, and give it new life, were it but for a quarter of an hour?
29412Can these Instances be applied to the Hungarian Revenans?
29412Can we conceive that God allows them thus to come without reason or necessity and molest their families, and even cause their death?
29412Can we not see that such an opinion is making a god of the devil?
29412DO THE EXCOMMUNICATED ROT IN THE GROUND?
29412Did he do this by his own strength, or by the permission of God?
29412Did he not wash away his fault with his blood?
29412Did not Simon the magician rise into the air by means of the devil?
29412Did not St. Paul impose silence on the Pythoness of the city of Philippi in Macedonia?
29412Did not the first- mentioned perform many wonders before Pharaoh?
29412Do the Excommunicated rot in the Earth?
29412Do they not prevent people from inhabiting certain houses, under pretence of their being haunted?
29412Do they take them and leave them at will, as we lay aside a habit or a mask?
29412Do we not know with how many errors it has been infatuated in all ages, and which, though shared in common, were not the less mistakes?
29412Do we put to death hypochondriacs, maniacs, or those who imagine themselves ill?
29412Do you laugh at all that is told of dreams, magical operations, miracles, sorcerers, ghosts, and Thessalian wonders?
29412Do you see the Prince of Condè dead in that hedge?''
29412Does any one imagine that such things can be believed without offending God, and without showing a very injurious mistrust of his almighty power?
29412Does not St. Paul complain of the_ angel of Satan_ who buffeted him?
29412Does not St. Peter[657] tell us that"the devil prowls about us like a roaring lion, always ready to devour us?"
29412Does not the apostle tell us that the angel of darkness transforms himself into an angel of light?
29412For will it be said that these maledictions and inflictions were the effect of the inspiration of the good Spirit, or the work of good angels?
29412For, does it not happen that wood of different kinds, and fish bones, produce some light when their heat is excited by putrefaction?
29412HAS THE DEMON POWER TO CAUSE ANY ONE TO DIE AND THEN TO RESTORE THE DEAD TO LIFE?
29412Had he received the sacraments of the Church?
29412Has the Demon power to kill, and then to restore to Life?
29412Has the devil in this respect a greater power than an angel and a disembodied soul?
29412Have we ever seen lethargies, or swoons, or syncopes last whole years together?
29412Have we not again calendars in which are marked the lucky and unlucky days, as has been done during a time, under the name of Egyptians?
29412He answered,--"And who has taught you that secret?"
29412How can he be absolved without asking for absolution, or its appearing that he hath requested it?
29412How can it serve the demon to maintain this, and destroy the general opinion of nations on all these things?
29412How can people be absolved who died in mortal sin, and without doing penance?
29412How can you absolve him from excommunication before he has received absolution from sin?
29412How can you absolve the dead?
29412How can you convince a whole people of error?
29412How could St. Maur appear to him in his Benedictine habit, having the wizard on his left hand?
29412How could he introduce himself into young M. de la Richardière''s chamber without either opening or forcing the door?
29412How could he render himself visible to him alone, whilst none other beheld him?
29412How could he who appeared to the tailor Bauh imprint his hand on the board which he presented to him?
29412How could this wretched shepherd cast the spell without touching the person?
29412How did Apollonius of Tyana persuade the Ephesians to kill a man, who really was only a dog?
29412How did he know that this dog, or this man, was the cause of the pestilence which afflicted Ephesus?
29412How do the saints hear our prayers?
29412How do they drag them?
29412How do they speak?
29412How is this done?
29412How is this resurrection accomplished?
29412How many enterprises, praiseworthy in appearance, has he not inspired, in order to draw the faithful into his snare?
29412How many false miracles has he not wrought?
29412How many holy actions has he not counseled?
29412How many instances have we not seen of people who expired with fright in a moment?
29412How many times has he foretold future events?
29412How was it that the soldier mentioned by Æneas Sylvius did not recognize his wife, whom he pierced with his sword, and whose ears he cut off?
29412If in all there is only falsehood and illusion, what does he gain by undeceiving people?
29412If it is not God who drags them from their graves, is it an angel?
29412If it is so, why do they return to their graves?
29412If magicians possessed the secret of thus occasioning the death of any one they pleased, where is the prince, prelate, or lord who would be safe?
29412If people insist on these resurrections being real ones, did we ever see dead persons resuscitate themselves, and by their own power?
29412If the angels even have not a certain kind of body?--for if they are incorporeal, how can they be counted?
29412If the circumstance is certain, as it appears, who shall explain the manner in which all passed or took place?
29412If these two men were only spectres, having neither flesh nor bones, how could one of them imprint a black color on the hand of this widow?
29412If they are not resuscitated by themselves, is it by the power of God that they have left their graves?
29412If they are not united to them, how can they move them, and cause them to act, walk, speak, reason, and eat?
29412If they are reprobate and condemned, what have they to do on this earth?
29412If they are united to them, then they form but one individual; and how can they separate themselves from them, after being united to them?
29412If they could thus roast them slowly to death, why not kill them at once, by throwing the waxen image in the fire?
29412If they dared not stay in the church during the mass, when were they?
29412If they were evil genii, why did they ask for masses and order restitution?
29412Is all that accomplished by the natural power of these spirits?
29412Is it an angel, is it a demon who reanimates it?
29412Is it by the order, or by the permission of God that he resuscitates?
29412Is it for a long time, like that of the persons who were restored to life by Jesus Christ?
29412Is it not certain that the first step taken by those who had recourse to magic was to renounce God and Jesus Christ, and to invoke the demon?
29412Is it not since mankind began to enjoy the divine presence of the Word?
29412Is it sepulture?
29412Is it surprising that the bedstead should be seen to move, especially when the floor of the room is waxed and rubbed?
29412Is it the Almighty, to satisfy the revenge of an insignificant woman, or the jealousy of lovers of either sex?
29412Is it to show forth the works of God in these vampires?
29412Is not that, as it appears to some, denying and affirming at the same time the same thing under different names?
29412Is this resurrection voluntary on his part, and by his own choice?
29412It is by the strength of the_ revenant_, by the return of his soul into his body?
29412It is the devil, who sports with the simplicity of men?
29412Lord, why hast thou sent me back to this gloomy abode?"
29412M. Viardin having asked him in Latin,"Ubi censebaris quandò mane oriebaris?"
29412M. de Saumaise told him it meant,"Save yourself; do you not perceive the death with which you are threatened?"
29412Might it not be advanced that this light has appeared because the eye of the count was internally affected, or because it was so externally?
29412Must we, on this account, consider these histories as problematical?
29412Nevertheless, it may be asked, How these bodies came out?
29412Of what may we not believe the imagination capable after so strong a proof of its power?
29412Or was it the natural effect of Divine love, or fervor of devotion in these persons?
29412Origen adds, What could Providence have designed in performing for this Proconnesian the miracles we have just mentioned?
29412Ought he not rather to combat this writing, and show its weakness, falsehood, and dangerous tendency?
29412Peter added,"Could you tell me any news of Alphonso, king of Arragon, who died a few years ago?"
29412St. Augustine inquires afterwards if the dead have any knowledge of what is passing in this world?
29412The Jews sometimes went so far as to insult them in their dwellings, and even to say to them,[709]_ Ubi est verbum Domini?
29412The demon added,"Is it not enough that I show thee that I understand what thou sayest?"
29412The master of the house, and his domestics, the boldest amongst them, at last asked him what he wished for, and in what they could help him?
29412The saint asked him, where was the sepulchre of the priest who had pronounced against him the sentence of excommunication?
29412The saint laughed and said to him,"Would it not be better to give the value of your horses to the poor rather than employ them in such exercises?"
29412The spectre said to him,"Where are you going?"
29412The system of M. Law, bank notes, the rage of the Rue Quinquampoix, what movements did they not cause in the kingdom?
29412The young man added,"Was it in a dream, or awake, that you saw all that?"
29412The young man then asked,"Where is your body now?"
29412Then they wished to know if alms should be given in his name?
29412They asked him if he required any masses to be said?
29412They asked why he infested that house rather than another?
29412This is certainly not the case; but if it were so, why should witches have less power than magicians?
29412Thus we read in Ecclesiasticus--"Who will pity the enchanter that is bitten by the serpent?"
29412To what can these things be attributed, if not to an elf?
29412To what persecutions were not himself and Baruch his disciple exposed for having spoken in the name of the Lord?
29412UNDER WHAT FORM HAVE GOOD ANGELS APPEARED?
29412Under what form have Good Angels appeared?
29412Was her resurrection effected by her own strength and will, or was it a demon who restored her to life?
29412Was it a demon who animated the body of the boy, or did his soul re- enter his body by the permission of God?
29412Was it by the ministration of angels, or by the artifice of the seducing spirit, who wished to inspire her with sentiments of vanity and pride?
29412Was it his soul which moved his body, or a demon which made use of this corpse to disturb and frighten the living?
29412Was it not generally believed in former times, that there were no antipodes?
29412Was it their soul which appeared to me, or was it some other spirit which assumed their form?"
29412Was this young girl really dead, or only sleeping?
29412We read, in the author I am combating,"What shall we say of the fairies, a prodigy so notorious and so common?"
29412Were they the souls of these two pagans, or two demons who assumed their form?
29412Were they whole, or in a state of decay?
29412What advantage does the devil derive from making idiots believe these things, or maintaining them in such an error?
29412What becomes, in particular, of all the stories of the holy solitaries, of St. Anthony, St. Hilarion,& c.?
29412What benefit could mankind derive from them?
29412What cures has he not operated?
29412What do they want?
29412What does it matter, in fact, that they made false boastings, and that their attempts were useless?
29412What glory does the Divinity derive from them?
29412What has not been said for and against the divining- rod of Jacques Aimar?
29412What interest could the demon have in not permitting these bodies to come under the power of the Christians?
29412What is the aim of Lucian, in his Dialogue entitled"Philopseudis,"but to turn into ridicule the magic art?
29412What is the object of these resurrections?
29412What proof is there that God has anything to do with it?
29412What reason is given for this?
29412What stronger proof of the falsity of this art can we have than to see that Nero renounced it?"
29412What will become of the apparitions of Onias to Judas Maccabeus, and of the devil to Jesus Christ himself, after his fast of forty days?
29412What will become of the apparitions of angels, so well noted in the Old and New Testaments?
29412What would you have me do for you?"
29412When did they begin to despise the magic art?
29412Whence does it happen that they neither come back nor infest the place any more when they are burned or impaled?
29412Where, also, did they go?
29412Who are these witnesses?
29412Who can have given such power to the devil?
29412Who can not perceive in these words the surest marks of prepossession and fear?
29412Who will believe in our days that Ezzelin was the son of a will- o''-the- wisp?
29412Why did he not deny all these facts?
29412Why do these excommunicated persons return to their tombs after mass?
29412Why do they attach themselves to certain spots, and certain persons, rather than to others?
29412Why do they haunt and fatigue persons who ought to be dear to them, and who have done nothing to offend them?
29412Why do they make themselves perceptible only during a certain time, and that sometimes a short space?
29412Why is it so little sought after by princes and their ministers?
29412Why then may not the heat excited in this confined spirit produce some light?
29412Why wish to explain the whole book of Job literally, and as a true history, since its beginning is only a fiction?
29412Will it be God, will it be itself?
29412Will it be said that this is only the effect of imagination, prepossession, or the trickery of a clever charlatan?
29412Will this thinking matter think on always, or only at times; and when it has ceased to think, who will make it think anew?
29412Without this fruitful source, what becomes of the most ingenious fictions of Homer?
29412Would it be again the imagination of the living and their prejudices which reassure them after these executions?
29412[ 139] Will it be said that there was any collusion between St. Paul and the Pythoness?
29412[ 160] Job, speaking of the leviathan, which we believe to be the crocodile, says,"Shall the enchanter destroy it?
29412[ 352]"Quid se præcipitat de rarissimis aut inexpertis quasi definitam ferre sententiam, cum quotidiana et continua non solvat?"
29412[ 652] Did those whom he gave up to Satan for their crimes,[653] suffer nothing bodily?
29412[ 675]"Somnia, terrores magicos, miracula, sagas, Nocturnos lemures, portentaque Thessala rides?"
29412[ 702] Numquid dæmonium potest coecorum oculos asperire?
29412[ 76]"Quamquam cur Genium Romæ, mihi fingitis unum?
