Well, essentially anything they couldn't explain was a form of magic. If you took a zippo lighter back to then they'd call that magic, and they referred to most practices of the Wiccan craft as magic, although not in a positive sense. Superstition was also big at that time, which can be seen as a belief in a kind of magic.
A modern doctor would be seen as a magician if taken back to Elizabethan times.

We are all Elizabethans my friend- this is the reign of Elizabeth II ;)
As for our predecessors, the first lot of Elizabethans... I think they did believe in magic and sorcery... it's in the Old Testament, after all, and they were quite religious... probably they saw it as a manifestation of the 'devil' however... wish I could give you a definite text, but why not try Wikipedia, type in 'Elizabethans' and 'magic'... the internet is your oyster!

Considering Queen Elizabeth had her own personal astrologer and magickian, Dr. John Dee, I would say so.
