CCEL Footnote 1809 (In-Text, Margin)

... it says, “Even if what they tell you should come to pass, hearken not unto them.” For though the ghost of the dead Samuel foretold the truth to King Saul, that does not make such sacrilegious observances as those by which his ghost was brought up the less detestable; and though the ventriloquist woman in the Acts of the Apostles bore true testimony to the apostles of the Lord, the Apostle Paul did not spare the evil spirit on that account, but rebuked and cast it out, and so made the woman clean.[Acts 16:16-18]
