Again, I believe that all that use sorceries, incantations and spells are not Witches or, as we term them, Magicians. I conceive there is a traditional Magicke, not learned immediately from the Devil, but at second hand from his Scholars, who having once the secret betrayed are able and do empirically practice without his advice, they both proceeding upon the principles of nature: where actives, aptly conjoined to disposed passives, will under any Master produce their effects. Thus I think at first a great part of Philosophy was Witchcraft, which being afterward derived from one to another, proved but Philosophy, and was indeed no more than the honest effects of Nature. What invented by us is Philosophy, learned from him is Magicke. We do surely owe the honour of many secrets to the discovery of good and bad Angels.
– Sir Thomas Browne, from Religio Medici (1642)
