which_o you_o tell_v us._n first_o 21._o calvin_n upon_o those_o selfsame_o scripture_n he_o tell_v we_o thus_o whereas_o christ_n impute_v their_o not_o prevail_a against_o that_o devil_n to_o some_o want_n of_o faith_n in_o his_o own_o disciple_n he_o teach_v we_o plain_o to_o ascribe_v the_o whole_a efficacy_n of_o every_o such_o miraculous_a action_n to_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o to_o our_o prayer_n and_o fast_v show_v we_o therein_o how_o ridiculous_o the_o papist_n have_v constitute_v their_o actual_a fast_n alone_o as_o a_o effectual_a counterpoison_v for_o the_o powerful_a expel_v of_o spirit_n and_o devil_n thus_o far_o calvin_n in_o like_a manner_n 21_o bullinger_n upon_o the_o selfsame_o place_n he_o write_v thus_o these_o word_n they_o be_v anagogecal_o or_o

this_o one_o demoniak_a or_o he_o have_v expel_v this_o one_o devil_n doubt_v you_o not_o therefore_o of_o his_o further_a power_n for_o the_o timely_a subdue_a of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o satan_n he_o say_v not_o thus_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o immediate_a power_n have_v drive_v out_o this_o one_o devil_n from_o the_o child_n and_o therefore_o all_o spirit_n and_o devil_n shall_v from_o

so_o precise_o put_v they_o down_o in_o that_o place_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n from_o age_n to_o age_n in_o their_o several_a exorcism_n and_o we_o also_o at_o mahgnitton_n have_v deal_v according_a to_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n in_o practise_v prayer_n and_o fast_v for_o the_o expelling_a of_o devil_n because_o beside_o that_o work_n of_o faith_n which_o calvin_n and_o bullinger_n note_v these_o also_o in_o that_o place_n be_v joint_o require_v by_o christ._n orthodoxus_n be_v this_o a_o good_a argument_n christ_n by_o occasion_n do_v mention_n fast_v and_o prayer_n in_o that_o place_n therefore_o he_o establish_v exorcizing_n by_o prayer_n and_o fast_v as_o a_o perpetual_a ordinance_n for_o the_o church_n to_o observe_v 7._o this_o jesuitical_a jest_n be_v fit_o and_o full_o answer_v by_o a_o excellent_a doctor_n thus_o the_o popish_a church_n and_o you_o also_o yourselves_o have_v to_o gross_o abuse_v the_o ignorant_a people_n in_o make_v they_o believe_v you_o can_v cast_v forth_o devil_n whereas_o you_o have_v no_o such_o power_n at_o all_o neither_o can_v you_o by_o all_o your_o prayer_n and_o fasting_n conjure_v out_o one_o unclean_a spirit_n from_o a_o

which_o you_o say_v appertain_v in_o duty_n unto_o they_o be_v not_o this_o the_o practice_n of_o a_o polypragmaticall_a mate_n yea_o and_o to_o become_v a_o busy_a body_n in_o other_o man_n matter_n exorcist_n nay_o sir_n your_o collection_n they_o be_v over_o strict_a and_o your_o censure_n to_o sharp_a concern_v my_o former_a speech_n for_o albeit_o i_o do_v and_o do_v flat_o affirm_v that_o

the_o true_a faith_n be_v already_o very_o full_o confirm_v and_o therefore_o now_o in_o stead_n of_o sign_n and_o wonder_n the_o good_a work_n of_o professor_n must_v free_o break_v forth_o to_o
