"Devil" (p.570)

Note 24:  The spirit that I have seen / May be the devil, and the devil hath power / T'assume a pleasing shape..."

Note 25:  For though I had formerly used tobacco, yet I had left it ever since I was first taken.  It seems to be a bait the devil lays to make men lose their precious time.
