vi. pp. 796, 797, 798.; Scot's _Discovery of Witchcraft_, cap. xi.; Dee's _Book of Spirits, with Dr. Meric Casaubon's Preface_; Churchill's _Voyages, &c._, vol. ii. p. 528., second edition; Bailey's _Dictionary_, folio edition, under the word 'cabala;' Jacob's _Law Dictionary_, under the word 'cabal;' and _British Librarian_, No. 6. for June, 1737, p. 340."

"Set up committees of _cabals_ To pack designs without the walls."
