went wholy into ye lake to brake [break] ye vesel open, suspecting to find a<br />
great Treasure; but when they hadd broken it open out flew all ye cheefe<br />
spirits Immediately, and their Legions followed them, and they were restored<br />
againe to their former places; But only Belial who entered Into a<br />
certaine Image, and there gave answares to those whome [who] did offer<br />
sacrifice unto him as ye Babilonians did; for they offered sacrafices, & worshiped<br />
that Image as a God &C.<br />
