a_o man_n have_v strike_v i_o with_o a_o dagger_n i_o shall_v not_o have_v bleed_v and_o thus_o have_v we_o philosophical_o dispute_v about_o a_o pin_n somewhat_o too_o much_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o martha_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n be_v that_o there_o appear_v in_o her_o mouth_n a_o certain_a kind_n of_o thin_a foam_n who_o do_v ever_o hear_v any_o speech_n of_o

our_o good_a old_a woman_n use_v to_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v no_o white_a at_o all_o in_o his_o eye_n who_o can_v forbear_v laughter_n to_o hear_v that_o a_o woman_n be_v know_v to_o be_v

the_o exorcist_n say_v here_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o martha_n but_o let_v we_o confess_v and_o avow_v that_o these_o her_o motion_n be_v so_o violent_a and_o sudden_a as_o they_o say_v without_o any_o change_n or_o alteration_n in_o her_o pulse_n yet_o this_o signify_v that_o her_o blood_n be_v very_o thick_a and_o earthy_a and_o so_o can_v not_o easy_o be_v kindle_v and_o therefore_o we_o say_v with_o galen_n that_o the_o pulse_n of_o such_o people_n be_v very_o rare_a we_o have_v oftentimes_o see_v sundry_a melancholic_a person_n not_o only_o many_o day_n and_o month_n but_o also_o

the_o testimony_n of_o saint_n luke_n the_o evangelist_n and_o physician_n to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o authority_n shall_v be_v the_o great_a against_o the_o physician_n who_o when_o he_o recite_v

and_o every_o frantic_a person_n shall_v have_v the_o devil_n in_o their_o body_n and_o there_o will_v be_v more_o demóniake_n in_o the_o world_n than_o there_o be_v fool_n but_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o saint_n luke_n do_v not_o set_v down_o more_o apparent_a and_o evident_a token_n of_o such_o as_o be_v possess_v with_o devil_n than_o those_o which_o martha_n have_v this_o evangelist_n and_o physician_n in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o his_o gospel_n describe_v the_o man_n possess_v with_o a_o devil_n call_v legion_n because_o many_o devil_n be_v enter_v into_o he_o say_v that_o

maid_n she_o be_v when_o occasion_n require_v at_o the_o table_n of_o bishop_n abbat_n and_o monk_n she_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v as_o other_o folk_n do_v this_o demóniake_n possess_v with_o the_o legion_n acknowledge_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o he_o never_o have_v see_v nor_o hear_v of_o and_o therefore_o he_o know_v thing_n that_o be_v otherwise_o secret_a but_o martha_n do_v never_o any_o such_o thing_n this_o demóniake_n although_o he_o be_v bind_v with_o chain_n of_o iron_n yet_o he_o break_v they_o and_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o the_o devil_n into_o the_o
