Reginald Scot (c. 1537-1599)
“I am also well assured, that if all the old women in the world were witches; and all the priests, conjurers: we would not have a drop of raine, nor a blast of wind the more or lesse for them. For the Lord hath bound the waters in the clouds, and hath set bounds about the waters until the daie and night come to an end.”
