A Discourse of the Damned Art of Witchcraft: So Farre Forth as it is Reuealed in the Scriptures, and Manifest by True Experience

Perkins, William (framed and delivered by); Pickering, Thomas (published by).

[Cambridge]: Printed by Cantrell Legge, Printer to the Vniuersitie of Cambridge, 1609.

Written by English Puritan theologian William Perkins as a sermon and first published posthumously in 1608, A Discourse of the Damned Art of Witchcraft is a theological text that defines witchcraft as a supreme act of treason and apostasy against God. Rather than focusing on folk magic, Perkins shifts the focus of the crime entirely to an intentional covenant made between the witch and Satan. A sought-after extract from The Workes of that Famous and Worthie Minister of Christ in the Vniuersitie of Cambridge, M. W. Perkins.

One Western-bound volume, complete. Presumed non-original boards. Small hole to title page. Copperplate-printed portrait of Sir Edward Coke tipped-in to title verso. Light stains and marks internally. Spine cracking. Extremities chipped. [5, 2, 46 (numbered 607-652)] p. Text in English.
