self_n same_o primarie_a dispossession_n perform_v by_o christ_n may_v seem_v to_o import_v say_v thus_o the_o like_a be_v never_o see_v in_o israel_n exorcist_n that_o be_v the_o like_a manner_n of_o

the_o like_a manner_n of_o cure_v the_o same_o then_o tell_v we_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o manner_n of_o cure_v they_o have_v in_o those_o day_n i_o mean_v by_o what_o mean_v they_o be_v cure_v before_o the_o come_n of_o christ._n i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o say_v they_o be_v cure_v by_o physical_a mean_n neither_o may_v you_o for_o shame_n avouch_v their_o cure_n to_o be_v wrought_v by_o that_o your_o suppose_a new_a ordinance_n of_o prayer_n and_o fast_v because_o such_o a_o ordinance_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v never_o establish_v 34._o and_o so_o much_o also_o you_o do_v else_o where_o affirm_v your_o own_o self_n if_o therefore_o the_o manner_n of_o cure_v your_o suppose_a possession_n then_o be_v neither_o by_z physical_a mean_n nor_o by_o prayer_n and_o fast_v it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o their_o say_a cure_n it_o be_v then_o also_o effect_v by_o some_o supernatural_a and_o miraculous_a mean_n now_o then_o if_o the_o cure_n of_o those_o your_o suppose_a possession_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v every_o of_o they_o supernatural_a strange_a and_o miraculous_a how_o can_v it_o be_v possible_o true_a which_o the_o evangelist_n report_v here_o say_v thus_o the_o like_a be_v never_o see_v in_o israel_n since_o the_o miraculous_a expel_v of_o spirit_n and_o devil_n 4.36_o have_v be_v in_o every_o age_n of_o the_o world_n even_o equal_o admirable_a strange_a and_o most_o marvellous_a again_o since_o christ_n be_v in_o deed_n 3.15_o that_o promise_v seed_n of_o the_o woman_n who_o in_o his_o own_o proper_a person_n be_v actuallie_o to_o break_v the_o serpent_n head_n it_o be_v marvellous_a probable_a that_o the_o eternal_a father_n even_o in_o his_o foresee_a wisdom_n have_v purpose_o determine_v from_o before_o all_o eternity_n that_o the_o primarie_n and_o first_o actual_a encounter_v with_o satan_n his_o actual_a possossion_n shall_v be_v primary_o and_o actuallie_o accomplish_v by_o christ_n himself_o in_o his_o own_o

beside_o that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v possession_n and_o dispossession_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n 27._o as_o yourself_o do_v else_o where_o avouch_v the_o same_o then_o no_o doubt_n

of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o many_o other_o special_a judgement_n of_o less_o moment_n by_o much_o 20.27_o and_o so_o even_o those_o their_o prophetical_a prediction_n and_o denuntiation_n of_o that_o so_o fearful_a a_o judgement_n be_v so_o necessary_a for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n it_o will_v no_o doubt_v have_v be_v as_o careful_o register_v for_o the_o succeed_a age_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o any_o other_o like_o judgement_n of_o god_n whatsoever_o moreover_o if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o miraculous_a dispossess_v of_o devil_n any_o long_a time_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n then_o sure_o the_o same_o undoubted_o be_v such_o admirable_a matter_n of_o fact_n they_o will_v in_o some_o one_o book_n or_o other_o throughout_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v be_v most_o careful_o record_v for_o all_o posterity_n since_o many_o other_o miracle_n of_o less_o importance_n by_o much_o be_v so_o precise_o put_v down_o in_o every_o place_n namely_o the_o miraculous_a deliverance_n of_o israel_n the_o strange_a wonder_n in_o egypt_n 1●_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n in_o the_o wilderness_n in_o mount_n sinah_n and_o else_o where_o the_o wonder_n record_v in_o the_o book_n of_o joshuah_n judge_n samuel_n of_o the_o king_n the_o chronicle_n and_o other_o historical_a book_n wherein_o all_o such_o admirable_a matter_n of_o fact_n be_v purpose_o put_v down_o and_o record_v all_o which_o precedent_n miraculous_a action_n be_v in_o some_o of_o those_o book_n at_o the_o least_o so_o exact_o register_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o miraculous_a dispossess_v of_o devil_n if_o any_o such_o then_o will_v have_v be_v likewise_o most_o careful_o record_v as_o matter_n either_o actuallie_o or_o typicallie_o perform_v but_o no_o such_o authentical_a record_n be_v any_o where_o extant_a in_o all_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a there_o be_v then_o no_o such_o miraculous_a dispossess_v of_o devil_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ._n exorcist_n howsoever_o such_o a_o miraculous_a manner_n of_o cure_v then_o be_v not_o actuallie_o record_v it_o be_v likely_a the_o same_o be_v typicallie_o shadow_v forth_o in_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n 9_o because_o that_o serpent_n be_v a_o livelie_a figure_n of_o christ_n himself_o who_o be_v actuallie_o to_o cure_v the_o deadly_a sting_n of_o that_o infernal_a serpent_n the_o devil_n orthodoxus_n be_v it_o so_o as_o you_o say_v yet_o that_o brazen_a serpent_n it_o only_o prefigure_v the_o effectual_a cure_n of_o the_o serpentine_a sting_n of_o sin_n and_o not_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n his_o actual_a expel_v of_o devil_n from_o out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n unless_o happy_o you_o imagine_v that_o as_o all_o the_o elect_a be_v effectual_o wound_v with_o the_o serpentine_a sting_n of_o sin_n so_o be_v they_o also_o essential_o possess_v with_o devil_n inherent_o dwell_v within_o their_o body_n beside_o that_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v only_o a_o shadow_n of_o that_o whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o body_n and_o therefore_o by_o that_o reason_n there_o can_v be_v only_o a_o bare_a shadow_n but_o no_o essential_a possession_n or_o dispossession_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ._n furthermore_o if_o there_o have_v in_o deed_n be_v essential_a possession_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n what_o then_o can_v christ_n himself_o have_v do_v more_o at_o his_o come_n than_o many_o other_o have_v effect_v before_o he_o beside_o that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o miraculous_a dispossession_n before_o then_o sure_o though_o christ_n at_o his_o come_n have_v also_o for_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o deity_n dispossess_v ten_o thousand_o demoniake_n more_o than_o he_o do_v yet_o this_o one_o exception_n have_v be_v very_o forcible_a against_o he_o from_o time_n to_o time_n namely_o that_o many_o other_o before_o he_o have_v perform_v as_o much_o in_o effect_n and_o therefore_o no_o reason_n that_o for_o such_o a_o miraculous_a dispossess_v of_o devil_n they_o shall_v esteem_v he_o to_o be_v rather_o the_o messiah_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n moreover_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o such_o miraculous_a dispossessing_n before_o then_o have_v not_o that_o be_v true_a which_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o himself_o 15.24_o say_v thus_o if_o i_o have_v not_o do_v work_n among_o they_o which_o none_o other_o man_n do_v they_o have_v not_o have_v sin_n but_o now_o have_v they_o see_v and_o hate_v not_o only_o i_o but_o also_o my_o father_n brief_o if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o dispossession_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n how_o then_o shall_v our_o saviour_n himself_o by_o such_o his_o powerful_a expel_v of_o devil_n have_v be_v so_o particular_o repute_v for_o that_o son_n of_o david_n 91.13_o who_o especial_o be_v to_o walk_v upon_o the_o lion_n and_o adder_n and_o triumphant_o to_o tread_v the_o young_a lion_n and_o dragon_n under_o his_o foot_n exorcist_n whatsoever_o you_o say_v i_o will_v never_o be_v persuade_v but_o that_o there_o be_v dispossession_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ._n orthodoxus_n well_o be_v it_o suppose_v there_o be_v such_o miraculous_a dispossessing_n in_o israel_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n yet_o be_v it_o to_o too_o absurd_a to_o avouch_v that_o those_o extraordinary_a effect_n which_o apparent_o break_v forth_o in_o former_a demoniake_n be_v purpose_o record_v for_o infallible_a ordinary_a mean_n or_o sign_n to_o discern_v sound_o and_o true_o of_o all_o the_o succeed_a demoniake_n both_o 162._o because_o we_o be_v no_o where_o foretell_v by_o the_o lord_n your_o self_n also_o else_o where_o avouch_v the_o contrary_a that_o devil_n shall_v preciselie_o observe_v but_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o method_n or_o order_n in_o torment_v the_o party_n possess_v and_o for_o that_o also_o there_o be_v then_o no_o such_o urgent_a necessity_n of_o any_o

other_o moreover_o it_o may_v please_v the_o good_a reader_n to_o remember_v withal_o that_o such_o absurd_a position_n and_o so_o many_o apparent_a contradiction_n they_o can_v possible_o proceed_v from_o that_o spirit_n of_o truth_n 16.13_o which_o lead_v into_o all_o soundness_n of_o truth_n and_o religion_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o have_v in_o they_o no_o force_n at_o all_o to_o
