be_v no_o more_o reasonable_a to_o say_v that_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o satan_n help_n and_o assistance_n then_o to_o imagine_v and_o say_v that_o satan_n will_v consent_v that_o his_o kingdom_n

they_o shall_v be_v your_o judge_n the_o second_o reason_n for_o clear_v of_o christ_n and_o convince_a his_o adversary_n be_v this_o you_o grant_v that_o your_o child_n and_o carnal_a friend_n when_o

i_o cast_v out_o devil_n not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o by_o beelzebub_n hence_o learn_v 1._o that_o malice_n move_v man_n to_o misconstrue_v the_o best_a action_n of_o the_o most_o innocent_a for_o the_o pharisee_n out_o of_o malice_n ascribe_v christ_n work_n to_o the_o devil_n which_o they_o know_v be_v of_o god_n 2._o the_o process_n of_o justice_n against_o the_o wicked_a must_v be_v short_a when_o their_o conscience_n and_o common_a reason_n in_o their_o dear_a carnal_a friend_n be_v sufficient_a to_o bear_v witness_n against_o their_o wickedness_n and_o to_o condemn_v they_o for_o it_o upon_o this_o ground_n christ_n say_v by_o who_o do_v your_o child_n cast_v out_o satan_n therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v your_o judge_n ver._n 28._o but_o if_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n than_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v come_v unto_o you_o a_o three_o reason_n to_o convince_v these_o man_n of_o blasphemy_n be_v see_v you_o know_v that_o i_o do_v cast_v out_o devil_n by_o divine_a power_n of_o god_n spirit_n you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a that_o i_o be_o the_o messiah_n and_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n promise_v in_o the_o messiah_n be_v come_v and_o therefore_o you_o be_v malicious_a opposer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o my_o person_n hence_o learn_v 1._o christ_n manner_n of_o cast_v out_o devil_n be_v
