say_v that_o he_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o beelzebub_n the_o prince_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o 24_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n and_o true_o this_o be_v no_o unusual_a practice_n among_o the_o sorcerer_n and_o magician_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_a poet_n when_o they_o can_v not_o prevail_v any_o other_o way_n to_o use_v the_o help_n of_o the_o great_a and_o chief_a

there_o be_v mention_n of_o that_o form_n in_o which_o they_o threaten_v he_o and_o porphiry_n say_v that_o his_o name_n be_v serapis_n but_o our_o saviour_n sufficient_o refute_v that_o calumny_n several_a way_n first_o by_o a_o common_a and_o know_a axiom_n among_o themselves_o every_o kingdom_n divide_v etc._n etc._n and_o the_o meaning_n thereof_o be_v this_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v wise_a there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o they_o that_o be_v wise_a will_v rather_o seek_v to_o establish_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o power_n which_o be_v do_v by_o concord_n and_o agreement_n than_o to_o distract_v and_o dislocate_v it_o which_o be_v do_v by_o faction_n and_o division_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o the_o devil_n will_v so_o differ_v and_o disagree_v as_o the_o one_o to_o expel_v the_o other_o as_o they_o will_v persuade_v the_o world_n second_o by_o retortion_n in_o these_o word_n if_o i_o by_o beelzebub_n do_v cast_v out_o devil_n by_o who_o do_v

your_o disciple_n do_v cast_v out_o devil_n do_v not_o you_o think_v that_o they_o cast_v they_o out_o by_o a_o divine_a power_n therefore_o so_o shall_v you_o even_o think_v of_o i_o if_o you_o

which_o follow_v i_o do_v not_o understand_v but_o if_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n then_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v unto_o you_o pray_v make_v i_o

contain_v in_o it_o matter_n of_o fact_n for_o it_o be_v upon_o error_n take_v for_o necessary_a that_o a_o easter_n must_v be_v keep_v and_o upon_o worse_a than_o error_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v for_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o point_n of_o judaisme_n force_v upon_o the_o church_n upon_o worse_a than_o error_n i_o say_v think_v further_o necessary_a that_o the_o ground_n for_o the_o

on_o the_o fourteen_o moon_n or_o the_o sunday_n follow_v this_o matter_n though_o most_o unnecessary_a most_o vain_a yet_o cause_v as_o great_a a_o combustion_n as_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o church_n the_o west_n separate_v and_o refuse_v communion_n with_o the_o east_n for_o many_o year_n together_o in_o this_o fantastical_a hurry_n i_o can_v see_v but_o all_o the_o world_n be_v schismatic_n neither_o can_v any_o thing_n excuse_v they_o from_o that_o imputation_n except_v only_o this_o that_o we_o charitable_o suppose_v that_o all_o party_n out_o of_o conscience_n do_v what_o they_o do_v a_o thing_n which_o befall_v they_o through_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o guide_n for_o i_o will_v not_o say_v their_o malice_n and_o that_o through_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n because_o through_o sloth_n and_o blind_a obedience_n man_n examine_v not_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o be_v teach_v but_o like_o beast_n of_o burden_n patient_o couch_v down_o and_o indifferent_o undergo_v whatsoever_o their_o superior_n lay_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o way_n by_o this_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v the_o danger_n of_o our_o appeal_n unto_o antiquity_n for_o resolution_n in_o controvert_v point_n of_o faith_n and_o how_o small_a relief_n we_o be_v to_o expect_v from_o thence_o for_o if_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o chief_a guide_n and_o director_n of_o the_o church_n do_v in_o a_o

the_o sight_n of_o it_o can_v we_o without_o imputation_n of_o extreme_a grossness_n and_o folly_n think_v so_o poor_a spirit_v person_n competent_a judge_n of_o the_o question_n now_o on_o soot_n
