end_n for_o that_o be_v the_o state_n of_o all_o kingdom_n rend_v with_o civil_a dissension_n so_o that_o by_o this_o reason_n either_o they_o must_v herein_o speak_v malicious_o and_o against_o

his_o argument_n of_o the_o second_o argument_n be_v thus_o conceive_v by_o that_o spirit_n which_o your_o child_n cast_v out_o devil_n by_o do_v i_o cast_v out_o devil_n but_o your_o child_n cast_v not_o out_o devil_n through_o beelzebub_n therefore_o neither_o do_v i_o cast_v they_o out_o by_o he_o in_o this_o argument_n there_o be_v some_o doubt_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o their_o child_n the_o best_a of_o our_o interpreter_n hold_v it_o to_o be_v mean_v flat_o of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n disciple_n but_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o dissent_v with_o reverence_n from_o they_o for_o 1_o there_o be_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o call_v his_o disciple_n their_o child_n than_o himself_o 2_o in_o hold_v that_o christ_n cast_v out_o devil_n through_o beelzebub_n they_o must_v needs_o hold_v that_o his_o disciple_n must_v do_v it_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n for_o it_o be_v senseless_a to_o imagine_v that_o the_o disciple_n shall_v do_v it_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o master_n by_o the_o devil_n 3_o by_o child_n be_v not_o unusual_o mean_v scholar_n and_o disciple_n hence_o by_o the_o child_n or_o son_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v mean_v those_o that_o sit_v at_o their_o foot_n to_o learn_v as_o paul_n may_v be_v call_v one_o of_o gamaliel_n child_n or_o son_n and_o therefore_o i_o take_v it_o that_o christ_n mean_v it_o of_o some_o of_o the_o pharisee_n own_o disciple_n and_o scholar_n that_o be_v no_o profess_a disciple_n of_o chris●_n which_o as_o it_o seem_v in_o those_o time_n have_v special_a gift_n to_o cast_v out_o devil_n for_o the_o grace_n and_o countenance_n and_o confirmation_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n which_o the_o pharisee_n sit_v in_o moses_n chair_n profess_v and_o teach_v and_o of_o these_o i_o be_o persuade_v christ_n speak_v in_o this_o place_n 4_o he_o speak_v of_o some_o near_o unto_o they_o when_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v your_o judge_n mean_v such_o as_o they_o can_v not_o with_o any_o honesty_n appeal_v from_o whereas_o they_o may_v from_o christ_n disciple_n 5_o some_o such_o be_v mention_v 9.49_o mar._n 9.38_o luke_n 9.49_o who_o the_o disciple_n find_v cast_v out_o devil_n 6_o except_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o discern_v what_o force_n in_o the_o world_n there_o shall_v be_v in_o this_o argument_n for_o any_o man_n may_v see_v that_o our_o saviour_n take_v it_o as_o grant_v that_o the_o pharisee_n do_v hold_v and_o maintain_v that_o the_o dispossession_n that_o their_o child_n use_v be_v the_o act_n of_o god_n and_o do_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o understand_v there_o be_v great_a force_n in_o the_o reason_n and_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a than_o the_o former_a and_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o if_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n to_o no_o other_o end_n and_o purpose_n in_o substance_n than_o many_o of_o your_o honour_a and_o renown_a scholar_n do_v than_o i_o do_v it_o not_o by_o beelzebub_n but_o i_o do_v it_o to_o no_o other_o end_n than_o they_o but_o to_o confirm_v the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o faith_n therefore_o i_o do_v it_o not_o by_o beelzebub_n the_o proposition_n be_v evident_a for_o else_o their_o end_n will_v have_v be_v as_o contrary_a as_o their_o spirit_n the_o assumption_n no_o doubt_n be_v as_o evident_a for_o christ_n wrought_v these_o miracle_n to_o confirm_v no_o other_o religion_n or_o doctrine_n than_o what_o in_o substance_n the_o exorcist_n do_v set_v down_o in_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n howsoever_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n in_o the_o manner_n so_o that_o if_o the_o
